Be Beaten in
NO GENERAL AGENT
OF SEABOARD FOR
ATLANTA IN FUTURE
Special to Th# Georgian.
Portsmouth, Va., Dec. 18.—The Hoa-
bonrd Air IAne railway haa Issued an
official circular from Its general of
fices In this city announcing the aboli
tion of the office of general agent at
Atlanta. With the death of Colonel iC.
Berkeley, the position* of general agent
In the Gate City died, too, hence the
Seaboard's official announcement of the
fact.
Balloting.
New York. Dec. 18.—With all the ap
pearance of a regular state election—
excitement, confusion, shouting crowds
and electioneering—balloting began
today In special quarters In the New
York Life, the Mutual Life and the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance com
panies* buildings ns the culmination of
the desperate fight for control between
the policyholders and the successors of
the McCall, the Perkins and the Me
Cordys.
There were two tickets In the field In
each company, the administration
ticket and the International policy-
holders* tickets. But from the time
that the |»olls were opened at 10 a. m.
all through the day, there was every
Indication that the policyholders* bit
ter struggle to put officers Into the
companies that would forbid abuses,
was doomed to defeat.
The administration forces In the New
York Life sprung a sensation when
they brought In three hampers filled
with proxies, each hamper, Jt was said,
containing to.ooft ballots. The four
state Insurance Inspectors with State
Superintendent Otto Kelsey ut their
head, accepted the proxies.
Shortly afterwards Samuel Untemey-
er. representing the policyholders, pre
sented ten boxes of proxies, each con
taining 3,500 ballots.
Kelsey refused to accept these prox
ies, but would give no explanation of
his action, merely saying that he would
attend to these proxies Inter. The

Indigestion.
polls opened a long line of men waited
on the side streets alongside each of
the three Insurance buildings and
crowds of curious passersby watched
the progress of the election.
The antl-admlnlstratlon this after
noon delivered two van loads of votes
t the polling places In the New York
Life building, but even with this tre
mendous number of proxies the betting
ranged even that the administration
ticket would win by 50.000 votes and
1 to 25 that It would be from 100,000 to
125,00j.
The votes which have been sent
to the state department of Insurance by
policyholders all over the country,
numbering 190,000, were deposited by
Secretary McCall this afternoon. They
were turned over to him by Isaac
Field, one of the Insurance Inspectors.
... ... .—„ .......... Mr. Untnmeyer claimed 30 per cent of
voting was rapid. An hour before the those votes.
Seized with a violent illnses a few
minutes after taking a drink at a sisfa
fount in a drug store, at North For
syth and Marietta streets. \V. B. Wil
son, an employee of Gutham’s laun
dry, died Monday within two hours
afterwards.
Acute Indigestion was the cause
death, according to Dr. William
Jones, of Marietta and Walton streets,
who was called to attend the dying
man. But that this was brought on b>‘
the drink there Is little doubt in the
minds of those who cared for him.
Wilson drove a laundry wagon and
while on his way to the Hotel Tray
wJck, at 163 Marietta street, he stopped
In the drug store for a drink. By the
time he reached the Tray wick, only a
few blocks away, he was violently III
and staggering into the hotel he asked
that a physiclnn he called.
He was suffering from cramps and
vomiting, but at first the physician
not Inclined to believe his case was
serious. He was put In a bfd and later
sent to his home, at 136 West Mitchell
street, where he died.
In answer to Inquiries made at the
hotrl when he was taken sick, Wilson
said he had eaten nothing for break
fust except rice, gravy and coffee and
It was the opinion that the drink had
brought on the attack.
Wilson came to Atlanta six month
ago from Macon and Is survived by a
wife, throe children and a mother, Mrs.
F. C. Brady, of Macon.
The funeral services will he con
ducted Tuesday afternoon at the rosl
dence, 136 West Mitchell street. The
Interment will be at Oakland cemetery.
