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.

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.

"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 Datif, kicked goal.

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.
