per cent on gross receipts.
Where the ad valorem tax Is not suf-
li> lent to make the tax 2 t-2 per cent,
then enough can be levied to moke up

for some years back from the Southern
Hell, but they fought the case on the
ground that It was not a uniform tax
and was therefore discriminating.
When tried in Fulton superior court
the telephone people won. the Judge
holding that the law under which the
gross receipts tax Is Imposed was un-

The mystery veiling the desertion
of the month-old babe, found by two
negro men a few nights ago In the
weeds In a vacant lot at DeKalb ave
nue and Delta street, Inman Park, was
cleared Sunday night When Policeman
Coogler arrived in Atlanta, having In
custody the mother of the child, Miss
Phronie Morris, 27 years old, daughter
of J. L. Morris, a well-to-do farmer,
residing a mile from Redan, Oa.
Miss Morris, who was Monday morn
ing transferred from the police station
to a cell In the Tower, makes a com
plete confession, stating that she place*
the child In the weeds herself. She
says she deserted the child In order
that the fact of Its existence might not
become known to her people.

The young woman Insists that aha
had no Intention of leaving the child
In the weeds to die, stating that she
left It near the sidewalk 1% tlte hope
that Its crying would' attract the at
tention of some passerby. So anxious
was she concerning the outcome of
her plans, she says, that she stood on
a nearby corner and watched for re
sults. She says she remained there
until the two negroes found the baby
and took It to the Georgia railroad
round house, after which she broke
down and wept bitterly.
Miss Morris says her married sister,
Mrs. Janie Olds, of 63 Bartow street,
was with her at the time she left the
baby In the weeds. The two sisters
carried the Infant from Mrs. Olds' home
to Inman Park on a trolley car.

and Bedford, who have been working
energetically on the case since tho little
tot was found. After ascertaining that
the mother was at her home, near
Redan. Officer Coogler went there on
Sunday and placed her under arrest.
The young woman offered no resistance I
to coming to. Atlanta. She was ae-1
companled by her father, who Is still
in the city.
While at tlte police station. In care of
Mlaa Sanderson, police matron. Miss
Morris wept almost continuously. On
Monday morning her eyes were n d am!
swollen from the weeping.
The Mother’s 8tory.
When asked for a statement Miss
Morris said:
I came to Atlanta In June and was
directed by my physician to go to the
home of Mr*. Ida Byers, 16 McDonald
street. After the birth of my child 1
went to the home of my sister, Mrs.
Olds, where I have been staying of
late. I didn't want my family to kno-.v
of the existence of the child and tried
to plan some way to get rid of It. I
was anxious that It should Iw well
cared for and I didn't know Just witat
to do. Finally I decided to leave the
child In some place where It would he
found and, turned over to the authori
ties or some one who would raise It
properly.
"In company with my sister. I finally
took the child to Inman Park and left
It in the weeds near the aldiwallt. I
felt confident the child would cry and
that the crying would attract lira at
tention of some one passing along the
street. I had dressed It In good, warm
clothes and then wrapped It In a blank-
so It would not suffer from the cold,
fell so anxious about my Imby that 1
etched It to see who would lln.l it. My
sister and myself stood on a corner, a
short distance away, until two negro
men came along and picket! tip the
chlltl, carrying It away. When I saw
my child being taken away r could
hardly stand It and broke down and
cried.’
"I then watched the newspapers
see what was done with the child and
ascertain If the police had any Idea
to the Identity of the mother. I was
not much surprised when the officer
came and arrested me. for I Just felt
all the time that I would be caught.”
Miss Morris expressed a wish to get
her child back, now that the whole
matter has become public.
“I regretted to part with tlte child,"
she said, "bub I did It for my own pro
tection. Now that I have been exposed
I want to take the child and raise II.”
The child was sent to the Home for

ELECTION BETTING
IN ATLANTA SHOWS
INTEREST IN RACE
Odds Are Three to One on
Hughes—Some
Side Bets.
The ope topic of discussion I'n -the of-i
flees, the stores, on the street and In
the'hotels today Is tlte gubernatorial
fight In New York; the question as to'
whether Hughes will come under' the
wire winner or will be beaten .by)
Hears!. The discussion is confined’ not
to talk alone. Money Is doing consld-j
erable talking and both candidates have:
plenty of backers. If the odds ure
criterion. Hughes will have a walk
over. Odds of; 4 to 1 were freely of
fered and quickly snapped Up by the
Hearst adherents.
A member of an Insurance firm called
up the office of The Oeorglan Monday,
and stated’that he had 36A0 to bet'on
Hughes at 3 to 1. Tlte name of the
bettor will be given to anyone desiring
to place a bet.
White no-estimate of the money wa
gered in this city on the Hughes-Hearst
contest has been made, It will undoubt
edly run Into'the thousands. The odds
freely given by the. Hughes men look
tempting to the sliort-end bettors and
many a flyer has been taken on
Hearst’s probable majority In Manhat
tan. One enthusiastic follower of the
"champion of the people" bet 1100 to
250 that Hearst will pull out of Alan-
hattan with 76,000 majority. He had
plenty of money to offer at the same
odds, but taker* were lacking.

' WITH A REAL TOM AHA WK
During a. raid Sunday night by Po

dian tent of tlie Pawnee Bill Wild West
show- an Irate 'squaw seized'n toma
hawk and made a rush on Officer Wag
oner as though to brain him.
The officer saw the move, however,
and by quick action probably saved
himself from serious injury. As the
squaw waved the tomahawk In the air
the officer pulled his pistol, and, level
ing it at her, exclaimed:
"Come another step toward me and
I’ll shoot yotl down.” . ,
The dangerous looking weapon,
backed by the-determined exp-.-es-lon
on the officer’s face, balked tin- mi-

tomahawk to the ground, offering no
further resistance.
Two Indians and a white man and u
negro, who are said to have been play

morning In compliance with the agree
ment between tile officials of the road
and the representatives of the union In
Washington last week.
The strike-breakers were discharged
and paid off Sunduy, and left the
shops. The machinists say that the
yards ars full of work and that some
time will be required to get things
In good running order and relieve the
congestion of accumulated repair work.
Altogether one hundred and forty
men w-alked out of the machine shops.
Of this number one hundred and eight
were Journeymen machinists and thir
ty-two were apprentices. As a result
the shops were closed down until labor
was imported by the road from the
East, but this action proved to be more
of an expense than anything else. •
No man Is more enthusiastic over the
settlement of the strike than Alaster
Mechanic Sheehan, who has been as
happy and as garrulous as a clam since
the strike was announced settled. While
belleved to be in sympathy with the
strikers. Mr. Sheehan has been loyal to
the road and has cared for Its Interests
as much ns possible under the circum
stances since the machinists walked
out.
BILLBOARD LITHOGRAPHS
DENOUNCED BY MINISTERS
That the bill Introduced by Council
mail Terrell, at a recent 'meeting of the
council, for the doing away of bill
board* carrying vulgar and obscene
pictures Is a movement toward the up
lifting of the morals of the citizens
of the city, was the consensus
opinion Monday at the meeting of the
Ministers* Kvangellcal Association.
When the bill Is presented to the
council for consideration a representa
tion of the ministers will be present
to aid in the passage of the measure.
According to one minister, this will
be no easy mutter, ns the committee in
charge of the bill Is said to be opposed
to the measure.
If the bill Is passed, It will mean the
Hauling posters, visible at the present
time on many streets, wilt be seen no
more. Pictures of women Immodestly
dressed and medicines advertising un
clean diseases, will, according to the
members of the evangelical associa
tion, be conspicuous by their absence.
According to one minister. Council
man Terrell’s measure provides that all
billboards in the future shall be of a
width and lengtli much tens than at
present. As all lithographs are of the
same width, this, said .the minister,
will mean there will be no more ca
thartic advertisements, no more plc-
IIthogrephs of women wearing naught
but a seraphic smile. In their place
will be such small advertisements as
can be placed on the restricted bill
boards as called for In the Terrell
measure.
Chinese Y. M. C. A.
The ministers voted to have sub
scriptions In their respective churches
in aid of the Y. M. C\ A. building that
will be erected In Canton, China, in the
near future in memory of Robert Mor
rison, who entered the missionary field
at that place nearly one hundred years
ago.
. The association voted to co-operate
with the American Bible Society In the
furnishing of Bibles to the different In
stitutions In the city.
The evangelical meeting was pre
ceded by a gathering of the Methodist
Ministers conference, where Dr. Branch
read an essay by Bishop Tlgert on
what the annual conference should be.
A general discussion followed.
The meeting Tuesday night at the
colored Y. M. C. A. building where tho
white and negro clergy, together with
prominent members of the laity, will
gather to discuss civic questions, will
be attended by the members of tho
evangelical association. The question

presence of four young ladles who were
standing talking to Tlppen. The latter
went to Cofleld and told him he must
cease cursing. Tlppen then told the
young ladles they had better leave
there, as he anticipated trouble. As
Tlppen was leaving the hall with them
he was approached by Cofleld and four
other men with open knives, who told
him that he Was not going to leave the
lutll. As Tlppen went to force his way
out the men made an attack upon him,
but at this Instance he drew his pistol
and fired five shots at Cofleld, two balls
taking effect in the abdomen. Cofleld’s
condition Is serious and there is no
chance for his recovery-
Tlppen did not attempt to escape, but
notified the officers that lie would be at

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 6.—Complete
apathy Is the dominant feature ot tne
campaign. No one knows who will be
elected and few rare.
Normally, Ohio la Republican, but as
this la an off year It will not be sur
prising If the Democratic candidate for
secretary of state, the head of the tick
et, should he elected. The Indications
are that the labor fight begun at the
opening ot the campaign against Con
gressman Nicholas Longworth, Presi
dent Roosevelt’s aon-ln-law, has died
out, and It la predicted that he will
be re-elected by 5,000 majority.

correspondence Between Baker and
Freemont Cole and Baker and Fred
erick H. Gibbs, giving him Instruction,
regarding the bribes he was author
ised to offer for the tobacco truzt.
From hla office at No, 1 Madison av*.
nue. New York, Gibbs pulled the wire*
that killed unti-cigarette bills and anti- 1
trust legislation In half a score of
states. The letters received In this
city from Gibbs to Baker are revela
tions of frank and unblushing Insist
ence upon bribery.
Anti-cigarette laws must be smoth
ered In committee, and letter after let
ter told of sums of money sent to th*
legislative tool lo accomplish It.
Agent Was 8tate Senator,
The agent at the Indiana capital
was a member of the state senate, but:
one bill affecting the tobacco trust got j
out of committee. He was threatened
with dismissal unleaa he secured Its nl tl
committal. Telegrams In cipher told
of the dispatch of money "for ex- j
lienses" and named legislators whom it I
would be well for the lobbyist to "see."
Here la a telegram from Gibbs to
Baker that la typical of the corre- j
spondenre between the two, together!
with the translation, according to the
secret code:
"Hon. O. A. Baker, Fllbeck House,
Terra Haute, Ind.:— I linage albatross ,
to have betroth by maize elegbra up

Jolce to have scramble.

Translation of Telegram.
(Translation—I do not limit you
with regard to amount required to
have bill killed by mayor. Use full
amount to accomplish satisfactory re
sults up to 81.000. It the total amount
Is not enough, how much will you re
quire to have success assured?)
After P. J. Collier, on behalf of
Collier's Weekly, had attached his sig
nature to publish the letters "within
ten weeks from August 1,” there was
all sorts of delays and explanations.
