miles from .Mobile, where the train was
stopped in a dense forest.
Pegging piteously for their lives, the
two negroes were carried from the
train. The conductor was notified not

Dewey Garbett, ( years of age, the
youngest newsboy In Atlanta, whose
diminutive form and persistent and
childish cries of "Here your papor,”
"Paper, mister,’’ have made him a
striking and familiar figure In the
streets of the business district, has
vanished.
And Dewey's mother, Mrs. Rosa Gar
bett, of 86 Central avenue, believes her
boy hae been kidnaped.
The little fellow mysterlouely disap
peared from his home Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, and elnce that time not
the (lightest trace of him hae been
found. Despite a thorough search by
hie mother and friends, not the least
semblance of a clew has been un
earthed that would tend to reveal the
whereabouts of the strangely missing
child.
After a long wearisome night of ter
rible anxiety, the frantic mother Sat'
urday morning reported the disappear,
ance to the police and asked their aid
In finding little Dewey. The city will
be searched and every possible effort
made to dissipate the mystery and re
store the lost boy to his mother.
Dewey has never before remained
away from his mother and home dur
ing the night or for any considerable
length of time, without letting the
mother know where he was. and this
fact, coupled with the tender age of
the boy, leads her to believe he has
been kidnaped and spirited away for
some unknown motive.
When Dewey was first missed Friday
afternoon his mother supposed ha had
gone down town to sell papers as usual,
but when he failed to return af night
fall she became uneasy. ' As the hours
passed and the child ■till did not show
up, the ihother became frantic with
anxiety and sounded the alarm.
Neighbors Joined with the mother
and a search was Instituted. Play
mates of the missing child were
aroused and closely questioned, and his
favorite places of play visited, but all
to no avail. No one had seen Dewey

The death knell sounded for anoth
er local wire house Saturday morning
when the foregoing card was pasted in
the window of the Atlanta Stock and
Cotton Exchange, 7 Viaduct place.
The place was owned by Joseph
Thompson, and Incident with the fail
ure, Milt T. Pope, a telegraph operator,
who has been' emptoyed by the concern
for the past week, was locked up ip
the Tower, charged with embezsle-

It Is claimed that Pope took'a flyer
on cotton to the amount of 660 bales,
as well as dipping hts finger in stocks.
This statement was made by Mr.

during the night Mrs. Garbett awaited
some tidings of little Dewey, but they
never came. When day dawned she
determined to ask the assistance of

The popularity of the little tot made
him an Immediate success as a news
boy, and he had no trcdble In selling

Mrs. Garbett, her eyes swollen and
red from weeping and loss of sleep,
was seen Saturday morning, and, In a
voice that Indicated her burning anx-
stnee the early afternoon, and no one iety, made the following statement re
lost,*. he said. "We were greatly sur-

Ired that It was not a transaction

When asked whether or not he would
open up again, Mr. Thompson said he
could not tell, but that It was highly
Improbable,‘sts the Boykin law would
be effective In two months. Mr.
Thompson also stated that the failure
was not for a large amount of money,
ond that everything possible would be
done to settle up with the customers.

There Is an nverage of some fifty
patrons of the plnce.
Pope was arrested last night and
charged with embexslement. Ho I* an
Atlanta man, 20 years of age, clean
shaven and has none of the ear marks
of the criminal In his make-up. For
the past year and a half he was an Asl
soclated Press operator at Chattanooga
and only returned to Atlanta a few
days ago.
When seen at the Tower he said:
do not enre to make a statement.
Whether or not I sold cotton I will not
say, but If I did they can not do any
thin" with me. That place Is nothing
but a gambling house, and If I owe
them anything It la a gambling debt.
"Wanted to Close.”
■Two or three days ago Thompson
told me ho wanted to dose for he
could make more money In other busi
nesses. I understand that he was way
ahead of the game, and I believe he Is
only taking this as an excuse to close
down on his customers.”
There are three exchanges In the
(Continued on Page 3.)
gardlng the disappearance:
"I was In my room yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock and Dewey came
to mo for some money with which to
buy his papers. I was busy at the
time and told him to run away and
come back later. He walked out of
the room and that Is the last I have
seen or heard of him. I supposed he
was out at play with some of the other
children In the neighborhood, but when
I went out and called him he was no
where to be found.
Dewey never remained away from
me before, and I am satisfied he is not
staying away now of his own accord.
I believe somebody has kidnaped him
and Is holding him for some unknown
purpose. He loves me too well to wil
fully pain me In this way.”
Mlneola, L. I., Oct. (.—Louis Wag-'
ner, driving the 100-horsepower Dar-
racq car, entered by C. DeMegot, of
the Automobile' Club of France, won
the Vanderbilt automobile cup race
over the Nassau county, L. I., course
today In a maniacal contest of speed
and skill that cost one life, and the
Injury of sixteen people in accidents.
Wagner’s time for the 297.1 miles of
the course was 4 hours, 60 minutes and
10 2-6 seconds, an average of nearly
62 mllea an hour. The others who fin
ished before Referee William K. Van
derbilt, Jr., called off the race to pre
vent a disaster runong the 600,000 peo
ple who thronged the course, after the
winner was announced were:
How They Finished.
Vincent Lancia, Italian, 120-horse-
power Flat car; time 4:63:211-5.
Clement Duray, French, 120-horse
power Dietrich car; time, 4:53:87 3-6. ;
Camllo Jenatsy, German, 130-horse
power Mercedes car; time, 6.04:88. '
From the fifth lap on, barring an ac
cident, Wagner was so well In the lead
that he was never headed. He kept
on swlngfn around the 29:91-ml!e
course, maintaining his terrific speed
without a break. Do what they could
the three foreigners plying their cars
to the utmost behind him, could not
put down his gain.
Wsgner In FronL
Lap after lap, Wogner whizzed along
always to.the front, but there was a
gasp of excited fonr hanging over the
grand stand at Westbury as word
came on Wagner’s last lap that he had
been compelled to stop at Bull's Hsad
turn, 14 miles from the starting line,
because of trouble with hie tires.
At the time the leader was 0 min
utes ahead of Lancia. In 4 minutes
word was flashed from Bull’s Head
that Wagner had repaired his machine
and was up and off- at more than a
70-mlle-an-hour clip.
Gruelling Speed Trial.
With the lead of but 2 minutes left
him, Wagner drove his car for every
ounce of potentiality there was In It.
He came tearing down the stretch
along the Jericho turnpike leading to
the finish In an ever-increasing hurst
of speed nnd flashed past the grand
stand amid a hurst of applause.
Then came the Lancia, followed by
Duray, Jenatsy and Clements In quick
succession. The last lap had been a
gruelling trial of speed and endurance,
for all four of these who were push
ing Wagner as hard as they could. It
was the greatest contest of Its kind
that has ever been held In America.
Many in Danger.
That there was no more than one
person killed during the race was a
marvel. The thousands upon thou
sands that lined the course In a long
sinuous lane, repeatedly surged on to
the course and eoattered only In time
to get out of the way of the flying
machines.
When Wagner had passed the finish
mark, the crowd In and around the
grandstand flooded on to the course In
keep them back,
coming along the last stretch at a
mile a minute speed. Why some ona
was not hurt no one knows.
Other Cars Are Stopped,
By this time word came from many
points along the course to William K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., that thousands of wo
men and men were ewarmlng over
the course. The racing cars were atlll
being driven around the course In a
last wild dash of speed. The danget
was Imminent.
In a moment Mr. Vanderbilt declared
the rest of the race off and sent word
to all the telephone controls to have
the cars stopped as they reached
there. This was done and no further
accidents occurred.
Plunging from the course, beyond
control of the driver, "Dare Devil Joe’
Tracy's big Locomobile dashed Intc

THE GEORGIAN REGRETS THAT THE 1910
Exposition practically has been laid on the shelf. About $350,000 was pledged for
it. If anything is needed in Atlanta half as badly as an exposition, it is an armory that
can be used as a Convention Hall, with a City Hall front, as it were. One half of the
$350,000 pledged would build it. The Georgian moves that all the subscribers to the
exposition pledge one half the amount of their subscriptions for the “Capital City
Armory,” and hereby puts itself down for $2,500, which is half of its $5,000 exposi
tion pledge. Who'll second the motion?
