THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
MR. BRYAN ARRIVES
IN ATLANTA AT DAWN
Warm Reception G ven Nebraskan by Com
mittee—Taken to Piedmont Hotel
For Breakfast.
William Jennings Bryan came to At
lanta at dawn Thursday morning.
The Georgia train pulled into the old
car shed promptly at 5 o’clock. Atlan
ta still slumbered. A few sleepy-eyed
passengers got off and the city swal
lowed them up. Artificial light il
lumined the grim old shed dimly. Two
or three trainmen moved about like
phantom figures.
But Mr. Bryan slumbered tranquilly
In his berth In the “Alkln," for orders
wdre strict not to disturb him or his
wife until 7 o’clock. A white-coated
porter, Important over his distinguish
ed charges, moved around softly and
warned off straggling Inquirers as day
light began to flood tne world.
One big man walked up to him Just
after the train pul.’ed in and asked:
• Is Billie Bryan on that sleeper?"
"Yessah,” replied the autocrat of -he
handclasp firm and cordial.
A group of photographers had gath
ered, and when asked to stand for hie
picture, he acquiesced, waiting for Mrs.
Bryan, who came a few minutes after
he had appeared, with a great bunch
of American Beauty roses clasped in
her arms. There is an indefinable
charm of poise and strength about Mrs.
Bryan. She bore no signs of the fa
tigue of the trip around the world,
and the constant strain of traveling
since they reached the United States.
Then while photographs were taken,
they stood quietly at the car step,
changing the pose at the request of the
artists.
The party then entered the waiting
carriages in the following order: In
the first carriage, W. J. Bryan, Lamar
Hill, Burton Smith and R. R. Arnold;
in the second carriage, Mrs. W. J. Bry
an, F. L. Seely, Sam D. Jones and Louis
Oholstln. The rest of the committee
used the two remaining carriages, and
Pullman, "but nobody is agoln* to see all drove to the Luckie street entrance
him ’till 7 o’clock/'
"Thunder,” retorted the big one.
•Why, didn’t somebody say so, and I
could have had a couple of hours more
sleep."
A lone reporter gave voiceless ap
proval to the B. M/s Indignation.
The "Alkln” was switched to a side
track at the Southern end of the shed,
and was left In quiet until the recep
tion committee arrived about 7 o’clock.
They straggled in one at a time, marks
of unusual hours in most eyes.
Personnel of Committee.
The personnel of the committee that
met Mr. and Mrs. Bryan at the train
was as follows: Burton Smith, J. EL
Maddox, Lauren Foreman, Lamar Hill,
Reuben R. Arnold, Louis Gholstin, Sam
D. Jones, J. J. Hastings, F. L. Seely, I.
R. Calvin and E. E. Dallls. , At 7:15
the committee moved on the car, but It
was 7:30 before Mr. Bryan appeared.
As he stepped from the car, with
head bared. Burton Smith was the first
to greet him, and he was then Intro
duced to the other members of the
committee. Perhaps a hundred curious
people had gathered to see the Ne
braskan.
An aged man, bearing upon him the
marks of toll, crowded forward to
shake hands with Mr. Bryan.
"Pardon my presumption,” he said,
“but I want to shake the hand of the
man I voted for ‘ twice, and whom I
hope yet to see president “
of the Piedmont.
Photographers Hold Them Up.

Dentists Most Him.

came forward and shook hands with
Mr-Bryan, most of them recalling hav-

ed had to be undergone again. Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan took it all very good-
naturedly, however, and stood with the
reception committee grouped about
them. A number of the dentists here
for the national convention crowded
Into fhe entrance to the hotel.
“Let Mr. Bryan have the flowers this
time,” said Mrs. Bryan, passing them
to him. And he was photographed
with them pressed to his breast.
"Now, Jet everybody else get away
except the reception committee,” said
the photographer.
“That means us, too, doesn't It?'
asked Mr. Bryan as he took hold of
his wife’s arm and started into the ho
tel.
"Hold on, hold on,” yelled the man
with the camera. "I want you and Mrs.
Bryan In It, of course. What would a
picture be worth without It?”
And the crowd laughed, as every
body grouped again for a picture.
"I don’t care for this very much,”
said Mrs. Bryan.
With this ordeal out of the way, and
it took the artist five minutes .or more
to get all the pictures he wanted. Mr.
and Mrs. Bryan moved Into the lobby
of the hotel.

After he had been missing since
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, the
dead body of Charlie Wells, little 8-
year-old *on of J. W. Wells, of 26 Cor-
put street, was found Thursday morn
ing at 8:30 o'clock by the distressed
father underneath a massive sliding
door In an old abandoned plant of the
Stephens Machine Company, 616 Ma* 1
rietta street.
While the JJttJe fellow was rollicking
about the dingy old building Wednes-’
day afternoon the big wooden door,
which Is double thick and weighs fully
700 pounds, accidentally fell and crush
ed him to death. The mangled and
bleeding body then lay under the heavy
weight throughout the night, while the
anxious parents, totally unaware of the
whereabout* of the child or the terrible
accident that had befallen him, con
ducted a fruitless and nerve-straining
search.
Playmate Afraid to Tall.
Little Carl Anderson, of 110 Plum
street, a playmate of the dead boy, was
ith him at the time of the accident
and saw the door fall, but through
fear had kept hi* lips tightly sealed
until Thursday morning, after the body
had been discovered.
The Anderson boy attended the State
Street public school, where Charlie
Well* whh also a pupil, and, after ar
riving at the school house Thursday
morning, he told some of the other
'hlldren of the accident. This reach
ed the ear* of the teacher and she
questioned the Anderson child, learn
ing the details. The teacher then took
the little fellow to the Well* horn*" In
Corput street, where he said he had
mnlned silent because he feared the
police might get him.
He stated that lie and the Wells
child were playing together In the old
plant, Having entered the place through
the doorway, the sliding door being
partially open. He started out of the
building, he said, nnd ns he did so no
ticed Charlie Wells tugging at the big
door. A few seconds later he saw the
door fall und crush tho boy to the
ground.
Parents Became Alarmed.
The Wells child gave his mother no
Intimation of where ho was going
when he left hi* home Wednesday af
ternoon, and,when ho was missed the
mother supposed he was about the
placo at play. When he failed to return
at night, Mr. and Mrs. Well* became
uneasy nnd began to search for him,
No trace could be found, however, they
falling to find anyone who had *een the
little fellow or knew anything concern
ing his whereabouts. Finally, the
father telephoned the police station
and put the police on notice regarding
tho disappearance.
The Wells boy and a companion had
gone to Howell Station Tuesday, and
ThursJay morning Mr. Well* decided
to make a search there, thinking po**l
bly Ills son had returned to that place
and spent the night. A* he passed the
old Stephen* plant, only a short dis
tance from ills home, he noticed that
the big sliding door wa* down and this
attracted hi* attention. He stopped In
front of the building, and, while look
ing at the fallen door, discovered the
feet of his child slightly protruding.
Quickly the father raised the heavy
weight and there found hi* boy dead.
The body wn* later removed to the
undertaking parlor* of Barclay A
Brandon to be prepared for burial.
Family Overcome With Grief.
On being Informed of the sad new*
the trngle fate of her child, Mrs
Wells was almost overcome with grief.
Numbers of neighbors soon arrived at
the house nnd did all they could to
comfort the weeping mother.
Mr. Wells, the father, Is well known
in the city, being a former member of
the fire department. He was connect-
with that department for 20 years.
