Probing of Soldiers’
Home Brought Out

poor and insufficient food, butter un
lit for use, cruel treatment from former
Superintendent J. S. Thompson, cruel
treatment from others connected with
the home, and immorality on the part
of the former stewardess, Mrs. Belle
Reid, were the principal allegations
brought out Tuesday morning by the
legislative Investigating committee at
the Soldiers' Home.
Indications point to a prolonged In
vestigation, perhaps running through
the week. The committee evidences a
desire to probe to the bottom of things
and let It strike where It may. Dr.
Amos Fox, treasurer of the home, and
against whom charges have been pre
ferred. was present throughout the
session.
Judge Walter T. Colquitt conducted
the examination ■ of witnesses for the
petitioners, and Judge Freeman, of
West Point, for the home. The com
mittee adjourned at 12:50 Tuesday af
ternoon until 9 otclock Wednesday
morning.
Investigation Opens. ■
When Chairman Adams called the
committee to order Tuesday morning
at 9 o'clock, Senator Blalock and Rep
resentatives Williams, Mllllkln, Long-
Iv, Knight and Rudlcll were present.
Upon Inquiry It was stated that Sena
tor W. c. Bunn was detained In Cedur-
town by the serious Illness of his child.
After some discussion as to the
method of procedure, Hugh Colquitt
made the following statement:
''Specifications arc set out In the
petition presented to the legislature
that the food and clothing are bad and
the hospital service Inadequate. We
ahouhl summons the soldiers here to
testify, ns It' Is their complaint. Some
witnesses will have to be summoned,
the ordinary of Fulton and Cap'taln
Langdon Bowie, former superintend
ent."
"No charge
being made-sgi^fm^iM
trustees, most of whom live at a dis
tance, pay little attention to the Insti
tution, and the Investigating commit
tees have done little. 1 make the point
that no fair and open committee has
ever existed here before which the old
soldiers could appear lor a fair hear
ing.
Met Behind Barred Doors.
'Meetings have been held here be
hind barred doors, with sentinels at the
door. Witnesses have been bulldozed
and we can prove It. At hearings
here people preferring charges have
been debarred from the meetings, while
the accused were permitted to remain
Inside. Once when the vice president
was called away one of the accused
presided over the meeting."
At this stage Representative Wil
liams moved that the meeting adjourn
,Q the chapel, where the old soldiers
might hear all that was done. The
move was made.
As several members of the board of
trustees were present. Chairman H. W.
uni. of Jefferson, named Judge J, H.
freeman, of West Point, to appear for
the home. Discussion continued as to
shether the charges Investigated were
to be confined to those made In the pe
tition.
Charges Agslnet Stewardess.
Representative Mlllkln arose and
said:
“Verbal charges have been made of a
far more serious nature than any In
the petition. One Is that the former

WOMAN STANDS IN CELL
ALL THE NIGHT LONG
All through the long night and until
the morning sun had cast Its first rays
through the bars of her prison Mrs.
C. K. Crow, who lives at 272 Capitol
avenue, stood at the Iron door of her
cell In the police station and refused
to attempt to sleep. She was released
from her Imprisonment Tuesday morn
ing upon payment of a small forfeit
and left the station for her home.
Mrs. Crow was arrested Monday
night by Patrolman Lloyd who charged
her with being drunk on the street.
She was placed In the woman’s ward

Instantly Captain Harrison and Dr.
Fox Jumped up and said:
"Give names! Give names!”

refused to occupy the bed assigned to

raving for her freedom. There was no
rest for either warden or inmate during

one time Miss Sanderson, believing
the woman to be sober, offered to re

HIS NAME CHEERED
BY GREAT THRONG
Hall Crowded with Men and
f tSfYomep When Conven
tion Opens in
Gotham.
A
New York, Sept. 11.—Intense enthu
siasm marked the opening today of the
atat* convention of the Independence
League at Carnegie hall. Many wo
men were spectators. The big audl
torium was jammed and crowds of
peorle surrounded the hall, vainly
seeking to enter. When Hearst's name
was mentioned there was a great dem
onstration lasting several minutes.
Parker's Name Hissed.
It fell to the lot of Temporary Chair-
man'Glenn to cause an outburst, the
antithesis of which followed the men
tlonlng of Mr. Hearst's name In the
convention hall. It began when the
n*me of Lemuel E. Ouigg was greeted
with hisses. Next the delegates hissed
and hooted the name of Alton B. Par
ker, but It was when Mr. Glenn spoke
the name of George B. McClellan that
the delegates became boisterous In
their expressions of disapproval.
Hisses and shouts greeted the mayor's
name. References to Depew, Platt and
Higgins were also hissed.
Resolution or Fusion.
After an all night session In the Gil
house, the state committees by a
. of, 149 to 8, adopted a resolution
rring the proposition of fusion
with the Democratic party made by
William J. Connors, of Buffalo, to the
league convention today with a recom
mendation that It be submitted to the
committee of resolutions when ap
proved.
The adoption of the resolutions mean
that the Independence League conven
tion will nominate a straight ticket and
Bppolnt a committee to confer with a
similar committee representing the
Democratic state convention looking
toward fusion.
After listening to the argument of
the state committee pro and con on the
Connors proposition, Mr. Hesrst said:
Opposes Proposition,
am opposed, of course, to this
proposition. If the Democratic party
had completed Its primaries and se
lected men who represented the rank
and file and not the Bryan-Belmont
Interests and had assembled In con
vention and declared for principles
Identical with ours and had wished to
unite with us and combine against a
united opposition, I think we would be
unwise to refuse to consider an honest
proposition.

Mayor Woodward In no uncertain
words dismissed a committee repre
senting J. B. Osborne, the Socialist
leader and candidate for governor of
Georgia, Tuesday morning after tear
ing up a petition urging that the blind
orator bo allowed to speak In the
streets.
Under no conditions will I give n
permit for him to speak In the streets,"
said Mayor Woodward, "and if he Is
again placed In the city stockade he
will have to serve his sentence out,
so far as I am concerned. Don’t bring
me any more petitions like this.”
The committee left and called, upon
the county commissioners, with the
result that permission was secured to
hold a meeting In the court house Fri
day evening, next, when a "free
dpeech" society will be organized.
Mayor Woodward scored the Social
ists, after the committee had left his
office, principally from the standpoint
of organized labor.
"These Socialists try to creats the
Impression that they are fighting for
organized labor, and attempt to go
under that banner, when really there Is
nothing In the country which hurts
organized labor more than their radi
cal means of attempting to perpetrate
Socialism on the public. There are
some good sound principles In Social
ism and some good men who advocate
them, but the majority of the Socialists
are hardly more than anarchists.
"They have been turned out of every
organized labor convention that they
have attempted to attend. I have been
an active member of organized labor
for forty years, but I have no sympa
thy with the majority of these Social
ists."
Secretary Britton, Osborne's chief
henchman, states that the "free speech
society," which will be formed next
Frldsy at tho meeting in the court
house, will wage war against the "un
fair treatment given Mr. Osborne," as
It Is termed by his followers.

COLORED SOLDIERS
BUTCHER PULA JANES
AFTER FIERCE FIGHT
' Manila, Sept. 11.—Lieutenant Roscoe Treadwell, of the Philippine
scouts, was killed at South Barouen, Island of Leyte, while fighting dea
perately at the head of his company of scouts trying to repel the attack
of a band of more than a hundred Pulajanes.
A detachment of sixty mer. oi the Twenty-fourth regiment of infantry,
colored, with forty of the n .tlve constabulary, overtook a band of twenty-
five Pulajanes at Mariabon, and In the engagement that followed almost
exterminated the bandits, The Pulajanes were destroying tho crops of the
natives for giving Information of their movements to ths troops.
Lieutenant Parker, of the Twenty-fourth, with a small detachment of
his men, struck the band ot Pulajanes under the command ot the fanatic
leader Knasamson, near the town of Anabogan, and killed and wounded
many of the bands. Many of them were captured with arms and ammuni
tion. Corporal Bates, of the Twenty-fourth, was slightly wounded, and a
native guide was killed In the action.
The large bodies ot Pulajanes who have been operating In Leyte have
broken up into small detachments since the troops arrived In the Island
and are killing and robbing the natives In the hill country.

of Emperor William shortly before 12
o'clock Monday night. .
Emperor Bill literally butted Into the
great beyond through fire and flame
at that hour, while thirty members of
the Atlanta Lodge No. 20, Knights of
Pythias raced madly up and down the
lodge room on the fifth floor of the
Kiser building, some breaking through
the dense clouds of smoke for the fire
escape, some rushing madly with Ice
coolers and some acting as "the man
behind the hose."
The four candidates rubbed their
sides and smiled—smiled the smile that
soon came off.
The scene was perhaps a picturesque
one. The regular members of the lodge
were too busy to notice, the candidates
had all memory wiped out by subse
quent events and Billy has delivered
his last Impression on any one.
It all happened In this manner:
James W. Austin was delivering a
caloric address or. duties of a knight.
The lodge room suddenly filled with
smoke. Some one said Mr. Austin
should not be so ardent In his remarks.
Some one else said "fire," In rather a
loud voice. Then everyone rushed for
the hall. The way was blocked by a
ed for the fire escape and then George
Eubanks grabbed up a three-gallon Ire
cooler and threw Us contents nt the
smoke. After carefully placing the
cooler on the floor he yelled lustily for
something to carry water In. Some one
suggested that the cooler at hts feet
might do. and advanced the Idea that
some ot the Ice might be used to keep
his head clear and cool. Then Frank
T. Ridge brought hi* two hundred
pounds into play and with the assist
ance of Mr. Eubanks fell through the
partition Into the fire which had mys
teriously started In the center prop
erty room.
Hose were brought from the hall
which the Knights had gained after
daring the fiery sword.
Thomas Goodwin then took charge
and acted as fire chief until the depart
ment came.
The fire was extinguished and not
until that time was Emperor William
discovered. The room In which he was
kept was opened. With head lowered
he made a rush, caught one of the new
members In the doorway and dropped
to the floor and gave up the ghost. At
least the K. P.'s say he did.
The damages amounted to several
hundred dollars.
The four candidates have not shown
up at their offices Tuesday.
By MANUEL CALVO.
Havana, Cuba, Sept. 11,—Later ad
vices from the fighting about Consota-
clon del Sur leave no doubt that the
government has gained an Important
victory over Pino Guerra, largely
through the use of American machine
guns. While the rebels still outnumber
Avaloez's force, the better discipline
and arms and the presence of the ma
chine guns, more than make up for
the differences In number.
The result of the fight undoubtedly
has led President Palma to take the
stand he has In practically proclaim
ing martial law, withdrawing the offer
of amnesty to the rebels In tho field
who laid down their arms. This means
the pursuit of an organised policy of
repression and arrests already have
begun.
Former Mayor Arrested.
Dr. O’Farrlll, former mayor of Ha
vana, "has been taken Into custody. He
was arrested last night, while he was
attending a gathering of Cuban veter
ans, charged with being A member of
a revolutionary Junta.
Peace negotiations have failed. Gen
eral Menocal, who undertook to per
suade the rebels to lay down their
arms, found that the Insurgents were
disposed to fight the government to the
end. This reply to his overtures has
provoked a similar attitude on the part
of tho government, and It appears that
both sides are now lined up for a con
flict even more bitter and desperate
than those heretofore promised to be.
Other Warrants Out.
Coincident with the Issuance of the
decrees which followed last night's de
cision not to yield to the peace de
mands tho government ordered the ar-
st of practically ever;' prominent Lib
eral. Alfred Zayas, president of the
Liberal party, and several others have
disappeared. Among other Liberals ar
rested are Congressman Fl.irenclo VII-
luendns, brother of Congressman En
rique Vllluendas, who was killed In a
fight with a pollremnn at Cfenfuegc;
year ago, and Congressmen Boreas and
Varona,
When the news of tho Issuance of
the decree reached the Veterans* peace
commission, which was In session at
the homo of Genera! Menocal, there
was Immediate and almost unanimous
denunciation of President Palma and
other members of the government.
Senator Songuilly, Independent, who
was present, and who usually Is mod
erate In his utterances, made an Im
passioned speech. In which he declared 1
that there remained for Cubans two ,
roads to peace, one of honor and the
other of disgrace. The government, he
•alii, had refused offers of endeavors to
settle the difficulty pacifically, and
nothing was left but to side with Its
opponent.
Genoral Colburn nnd other prominent .
veterans made similar speeches, and I
General Menocal coincided with tho I
views of the other speakers. It appears
probable that most of tho members of :
the peaco commission will Join tho In
surgents today.
