Albany Is Shocked by Dou
ble Tragedy Enacted
Sunday.
Spsrlal to The Georgian.
Albany. Oa., Hept. t.—Together with
their mother's cries for help the chil
dren of O. Howard Xfnyea and wife,
heard two pistol shots which sent both
of their parents Into eternity at noon
yesterday.
The double tragedy was enacted In
a bed chamber of the Hayes home
on North Washington street, and when
a physician reached the place, a few
minutes later, Mrs. Hayes waq dead,
anil her husband dying.
Cause Not Known.
The cause of the double tragedy Is
not known. Mrs. Hayes had been In
bad health for some time anil at
times her mind appeared to be af
fected. Those who boarded with them
state that their married life was not
unhappy. Just what happened during
the night or forenoon preceding the
tragedy will probably never be known.
Hayes drank occasionally, but wan
i erfectly sober. He came to this stnte
from New York a number of years
ago. Mrs. Hayes was a bliss Lula
Mranlng. There nre three surviving
children. One, n girl 12 years old,
visiting In Lee county.
His eldest daughter. Ernie, a pretty
girl Just blossoming Into wnmnnhood,
and Julian, a boy of 5 years, were at
the table, as were Mrs. Manning, and
several young men, who board with
the family. It was a thoroughly con-
aenlal company who laughed. Joked
and chatted without a thought of til*
Mack shadow which hung over the
household.
Crist For Hslp.
Hayes nor his wife appeared at the
breakfast table, both Inking the meal
In their room. It was Just before noon
that Mrs. Hayes was heard to call for
help. From her room there had pro
ceeded for an hour or more no re
sponse. then the voices were raised
ohove a conversational tone, and Mrs.
Hayes called ns If In terror, "Kmtnle,
Bona, Mr. White, come quick!"
i Almost Immediately a pistol shot
rang out closely followed by another,
and then a noise as If a body falling on
the floor followed, after which deep
silence prevailed In the closed room.
The parties called were the eldest
daughter of the Hayes, J. 8. White
and Miss Rosa Clemens, who boarded
«1th the family. The door opening
from the bedroom to the dining room
was locked and when White climbed
Into a window opening Into the yard,
he aaw that the two shots had done
their work only too well. The body of
Mrs. Hayes was still lying on the bed
while that of her husband was on the
ilnor at her side. Both were In their
night clothes.
Q. Howard Hayes was a saw mill
operator who spent every week at the
It. Pope mill, eome miles above Albany,
.>n the A. it R. Railroad. He returned
home each Saturday evening and re
mained with hla family until Monday.

Syracuse. N. Y., Sept. 3.—Labor men
from all over central New York gath
ered at Syracuse today to participate
In the welcome which the Central Fed
eration of I mb or, extended to- William
Randolph Hearat. It was the greatest
demonstration that has ever been held
In thta city, and It Is estimated that
fully 50,000 people took part In It.
Mr. Hearat, accompanied by a num
her of prominent Now Yurkors, mem
ber* of the Independence League, ar
rived at 5 a. m. In a special car at
tached to the regular New York Cen
tral train.
Tho party wo* met at the depot by
Chairman Williams, of the Labor Day
committee, and went to the Vanderbilt
hotel. After breakfast Mr. Hearat was
escorted to the Alhambra, where the
proceedings of the day were held.
Women In Escort.
Mr. Hearst's escort consisted of the
carpenters' union of 500 members, 25
women delegates In the central trades
nnd labor assembly, und the 185 mem
bers of that body, representing tho *2
labor unions of Syracuse. The appear
ance of the women labor delegates was
a unique feature of the parade to the
Alhambra. Chairman Williams de
clares It Is the most remarkable out
pouring In the history of this section
of the state.
In his speech, Mr. Hearat said In
part:
“My friends, this Is the day set aside
In honor of Labor and In recognition
of Labor's primary Importance In the
greatness of this country. I feel con
ftdent thni Labor Day will become t
national American holiday.
“Hall to the Workers!”
“Hall to the workers. America has
been made hy them: the resources of
this country have been developed by
them. It's wealth and prosperity have
been created by them. Justice require:
that their Independence be recognised
and their proper demands satisfied.
"The mechanic and the farmer, the
small -land owner, the small farmer,
the small dealer, suffer under the some
conditions of trust oppression and po
litical corruption. They are anxloua
for the same relief and the same re
form*. They will proflt alike by the
restoration of our government to the
Jeffersonian Idea of equal right* for all
und special privileges to none.
"The producing classes should stand
shoulder to shoulder In the struggle
ngalnet the exploiting corporation*.
Attitude ef Corporation*.
"I have been a member of the labor
committee In the house of representa
tives and I know the attitude uf the
corporations on this question. 1 have
heard the representatives of corpora
tions speak before the committee; 1
have heard them declare they were
oppoeed to nn eight-hour law or any
law affecting wages, but that they were
eager to shore profits with the labor
ing men us soon as proflts Increased so

"I have stated lit reply whnt every
Intelligent human being fn this coun

not voluntarily Increase the wages of

they do voluntarily Increase the Issues

call It Americanism. And to my mind
It Is simply a plan to put Into practical
operation the American theory of gov
ernment.
Bellevee in Action.
"Honesty In public service, the rule
of ttie.majority, equality before the law,
regard for the welfare of the whole
peopl,. Independence In politics and op
portunity In business summarises my
position.
"1 believe -In action rather than
word*. Let public servants promise
only what rnn be actually performed
and then positively perform what they
have promised, i
"At present there ore two classes In
this country, those who pay and profit
by corrupt legislation and those who
pay tribute to corrupt corporations
politically favored. Let those who op
pose class prejudice equally oppose
class legislation.
As to Ownership.
"I' do not believe in private owner
ship of public property, Mor fn public
ownership of private property. I be
lleve In the retention hy tho people of
the public franchises. I believe In pub
lie ownership of public utilities. I be
lieve that the protective principle Is
valuable In Itself, but has been unrea
sonably extended and outrageously
abused.
"I believe In protection for Infant In
dustries. I believe In protection for
American labor. But I believe Amar
lean labor should be protected against
the high protectionists who use the
f irotectlvo tariff to build up monopo-
les and use those monopolise to in
wages.
"I believe American labor should be
protected sgalnst Chinese labor and
ngnlnst the entering wedge of Oriental
conditions. I believe there should be
■no protection for oppressive trust*.' I
believe the tariff should ho modified
and public ownership Inaugurated, but
that both should be done cautiously
and conservatively with due regard to
the stability of business Interests and
the perpetuation of the prosperity
which we all depend.
Jell for th* Qullty.
"I believe In the restraint and regu
lation of trusts and monopolies by laws.
I believe In the prison penalty for the
responsible representatives of criminal
combination*. One law-defying mil
llonalre In Jail will do more than any
other single thing to regulate trust In
iquity nnd elevate the moral tone of the
community.
I believe that the distribution of
wealth Is as Important as the creation
of wealth. I believe In labor unions
nnd farmers' granges and organisations
that promote the distribution of wealth,
and I realise that prosperity of legtti-
mate business mtn depend upon th*
purchase of the masses."
TWO SENATORS VISIT
ATLANTA ON MONDAY
Senator Herbert A. Williams, of

of Campbell, were callers at the eapl-
tol Monday. Senator Williams will
represent Glascock In th* Macon con

Judge Pnrker, a typical corporation | be J. C. Kelly. Senator Reid Is a can-
attorney, says there are enough law* dldate for on* of the court of appeals
and that the people do not need or, pieces. Both senator* made pleasant
desire any more. 1 say there are more: ra ||„ upon Governor Terrell,
then enough of the wrong kind of laws. .Senator Williams was an ardent sup-
hut not enough of the right kind of porter of the governor-to-be anil Con-
taws. There are enough laws In the ff«s*man T. W. Hardwick. It was his
Interest of the corporations, but not
enough In the interest of the people.
I do not advocate a strictly labor
union party.. That party would be as
yet In a permanent minority. But I
do advocate united iMimical action, by
all the producing classes and they will
constitute a permanent majority.

Smith, Milton A. Candler and other*.
Gentlemen: Your request that I be
come a candidate tor one of the three
judgeship* of the court of appeals. If
the constitutional amendment creating
said court I* ratified by the people on
October 3, ha* been In my hands for
some day*. In my opinion. It Is a
matter of paramount Importance to the
publla Interest that this court should
be established, and I have feared that
any agitation of the personnel of said
court before Its creation was prema
ture and might haxard the success of
the measure. In view of the announce
ment of other candidates, however, and
the possibility that the Democratic
convention which meets at Macon next
Tuesday may deem It wise to take
some action looking to the election or
nomination of Judges, I have derided
that It would be proper for me at this
time to make answer to your request.
I can And no words fittingly to express
my grateful appreciation for the lan
guage In which you convey your wishes
nnd I assure you that whatever may
be the result, whether I win or lose In
the contest, to be considered by so
large a number of my professional
brethren as worthy to occupy this ex
alted atatlon, Is an honor that I deeply
prixe and will ever gratefully cherish.
While always Interested In public
queetlons and a loyal member of the
Democratic party and an earnest ad
vocate of Its principles and Its stand
ard-bearers. I have never offered for
public position before the people. I
frankly confess to you that I have an
ambition to serve the state In a Judi
cial capacity, and relying upon your
estimate of my fitness for the position,
I now submit my name to the voters
of the Democratic party for one of the
three Judgeships of the court of ap
peals, It In their wisdom they should
see proper to create such court. If tho
voters of Georgia approve my candi
dacy and elevate me to this high posi
tion, I promise them to bring to the
discharge of the important duties of
the office an earnest purpose to seek
truth and Justice, and In consecrated
service, to protect and declare the
rights of the people under the law. I
make this announcement subject to
any action which the Democratic par
ty may take, either through the con
vention In Macon nr by direction of the
Democratic executive committee of the
atate. It will not be possible between
now and the election for me to meet
In person all the Democratic voters,
and I beg that each one will consider
this announcement as a personal re
quest for his support nnd Influence.
Again assuring each one of you
gentlemen of my sincere appreciation,
I am, Yours truly,
BENJ. H. HILL.

New York, Sept. 3.—The biggest nav
al review In .the history of the United
States tohk place today at the entrance
of Long Island Sound just off President
Roosevelt’s homo at Oyster Bay.
One of the smallest crowds that ever
gathered to witness such an event was
present owing to the peculiar arrange
ments made by orders of the president,
and thousands who did go down to Oy
ster Bay saw little more than puffs of
smoke on the horizon.
Fog Hsngs Over Water.
The gray, lowering skies with
heavy fog hanging low on the water
made the conditions even worse than
they normally would have been for the
people who Journeyed down to ‘ tho
Long Island south shore.
When the ships "dressed" at 8 a. m.,
there was only a handful of people to
witness the stirring fight.
An excursion fleet numbering most
of the steam vessels from New York
and from Connecticut and Rhode Is
land ports had gathered early in the
vicinity of Oyster Bay, but the men,
women and children crowding their
decks were doomed to disappointment
so far as seeing the review or even the
fleet Itself In some cases.
Kept Out of “Lin**.”
None of the excursion fleet was per
mitted within the "lines,” and from
that distance the fog served as a cur
tain.
For those who could see the war
ships they presented a formidable ap
pearance in spite of their holiday garb
of gay pennons.
They were anchored In a parallel
line, all In command of Rear Admiral
Evans, who had under him 15,225 men
and 811 officers all in their smartest
rigs lining the decks nnd the lighting
tops as the ships were "dressed."
The great squadron as it lay at
anchor numbered forty-six of the most

It was promptly at 10:45 o’clock that
the auxiliary cruiser Mayflower, also

president of the United States was run

guns from every ship—was begun.
Terrific Din Follows.
The din outrlvalled the thunder that
accompanied the storm of the early
morning before daybrenk. It was
greater than that of the average naval
battle.
But the general salute of twenty-one
guns from the fleet entire did not end
the shooting. As the Mayflower pass
ed down the line of huge fighting
machines each vessel separately boom
ed out another presidential salute of
twenty-one guns. The salutes became
Indistinguishable and the general bom
bardment . was begun all over again.
This was the review Itself, the May
flower bearing the president, officials
and guests passing -lowly down past
each vessel with Its blue Jackets and
marines at "present" as the command
er-ln-chlef passed and the officers sa
luting.
Ceremony Proceeds Slowly.
It took more than half an hour for
the Individual salutes of the vessels to
be completed and the reet of the cere
inony proceeded ilowly.
The whole ceremony lasted more
than an hour and a quarter, so that it
was high noon before the president on
the Mayflower was ready to anchor at
the head of the squadron.
Following the Mayflower assuming
her position with the splash of her
anchor there was a little commotion on
the batleehlp Maine and Rear Admiral
Evans and Captain Ptllsbury, his chief
of staff, descended to their launch and
steamed over to the Mayflower to pay
his formal respects.
