Other questions were asked, Mr. Murphy conducting his corre spondence through the want columns of the paper. At any rate, It was agreed, that Mr. Alexander would be the middle man. Monday afternoon Patrick Haggerty went to Alexander's store with an- or der requesting the proprietor to turn a package over to bearer. This was done without any ceremony, but Detectives Bayne and Starnes, who were waiting and watching, Immediately arrested Haggerty and placed him In the police barracks. Haggerty was placed on the stand at the preliminary hearing and stated that he was standing near the corner of Marietta and Broad street late Mon day afternoon when he was approached by a woman heavily veiled. She was accompanied by an aged crippled wom an. He,had never seen either before or since, but the veiled woman gave him a note and told him to go to Alex ander's place. She offered him car fare, which he at first refused, and afterward* accepted. He went to Alex ander's place, gave up the note, re. reived a large thick envelope and was arrested for his trouble. This, he says. Is all he knowa about It. The detectives testified that Hagger ty t<dd them about the veiled woman, faying that he would meet them again at Broad and Marietta streets. They accompanied Haggerty back to the ■‘•apposed place of meeting, but the veiled woman failed to show up. Rscognizsd Vole*. Haggerty was carried to the office of J tr.

Mayor Woodward will approve the whisky regulation ordinance, adopted by council Monday.

While he has made no ptutement to the effect that he would approve it. he au thorized The Georgian to state that he could not at present see sufficient rea sons for a veto. There Is really very little new In this ordinance," said the mayor. A large pnrt of It Is already In the city code, and In even stronger lan guage than It Is put In this new ordi nance. The majority of councilman didn't know th|s, of course. They don't pay much attention to the code. But as far as I can see, the only real new thing which ts really of any great effect, ts the raising of the retail whisky license from <1,000 to <2,000.

This man of Iron nerve, of almost superhuman endurance, of unfailing hope, of keen humor, was early today taken from a tomb away down in a mountain, where he bad been wedged In almost as tightly as a corpse In a metal casket, for thirteen days. He could not walk when straightened out. so cramped had been his position un der the timbers which kept huge bould ers from crushing film to death. "I'll have to learn how all over, but I'll do It." he gamely said. "Then I want to get this thing off my eyes as soon as possible, just to see whether 1 can see. Oh, 1 didn't mean to 'see whether I can see,' aa a Joke." Fir* Btlls irs Rung. When It was announced that tho miner had been rescued fire bells were rung, whistles were blown, guns were fired and such other celebrations, not even <Sn New Year's, have been seen In this little mining town. People danced with Joy. They could hardly believe what they heard. The miner Is now being cared for ‘n a tunnel, and as soon as arrangements can be made he will be taken nut the six miles to the top of the mountain. All arrangements have been made to hurry him to the hospital. The great est care Is being taken to keep him from collapsing. When the rescuers reached the car they found that Hicks, who was Im prisoned on the other side of It, would be In danger of being crushed by boul ders If they tunneled from above, aa they had originally planned. So the tunneling was done from beneath the car. Telegrams Are Pouring In, Telegrams of congratulations are pouring In for the miner from all parts of the country, and several museum managers have offered him large sala ries for such a long period. L. B. Hicks, with five other miners, was working In a shaft 104 feet deep In a mountain when there was a cave-ln. The others were killed. Believing that there waa a chance that some of the miners were alive, men from the out side forced a email pipe to the bottom of the shaft. Through this Hicks made known that ha was alive. He suggested that the heavy boulders would fall and crush him If an attempt at reicue was made from the top. He was fed milk through this tube. So It was decided to tunnel through the granite side of the mountain. The entombed man received liquid nour ishment and talked through the tub*. Other Enlisted Men on Ohio Angry Over Case. New York, Dec. 21.—Because he did not accept with good grace a refusal to be allowed two hours shore leave to see his wife and children, John J. Hickey, an enlisted man on the battle ship Ohio, wan thrown Into the brig In double irons and died a half hour later. So Indignant are the men on the bat tleship over the treatment of their comrade that they will probably draw up a round robin and make a request to Washington for an official Inquiry Into the case. Mrs. Hickey had come from Norfolk to see her husband. Lieutenant Commander McDonald, of the Ohio, says that Hickey applied for shore leave while thef boat was coaling and wus told It was against the rule for any man. even an officer, to leave the ship while coal waa being taken on. He says Hickey refused to work, became Impertinent und was put in Irons. The cause of death. It was learned by an autopsy, was duo to aneurism of the heart. The sailor, according to others, had planned to meet his wife and children at the navy yard und for this reason requested shore leave.

Rome, Italy, Dec. 21.—Cardinal Mar- tlnelll, formerly papal delegate to the United Staten, Ih ho weak as the result of an operation for facial polypi**, fol lowed by a hemorrhage, that death In feared. The laHt sacraments have been administered. Unconscious from an overdosa n? polton, Mrs. Mollie Fninbro, a young woman residing at 320 Marietta atreet, was taken to the Grady Hospital Fri day afternoon about 1 o'cdock. After the physicians had worked with her for some time, the woman regain ed consciousness, declaring her hus band had given her poison In a gla*s of soda water. The husband, Frank Fambro, deni* * this charge, asserting that his wife took the poison of her own volition. According to the statements of the husband and wife, they had a quarrel Thursday night. This quarrel was fol lowed by the discovery Friday after noon of Mrs. Fambro In her room un conscious. Physicians at the hospital say the voman's condition Is due to morphine. Fambro visited the hospital Friday .afternoon. He has not been arrested. SHOR7ESI DA Y IN YEAR; BUT TO IIRED CLERKS 11 SEEMS TO HA VE NO END This picture shows how the work of rescuing a man burled alive 40 feet under ground eleven days was carried on. The man was A. B. Hicks, buried by the cave-ln In the Edison Electric Company's power tunnel- at Bakersfield, Cal Instead of being erased In a day or two by his hld- -ous Imprisonment, ha grew constantly more cheerful, and hla voice cams up through the hoif-lnch pipe leading down Into his tomb with even In creasing strength and confidence. Conversation never lagged down the pipe, except for a brief time. Occasionally It was varied by the playing on the phonograph above of a conn song—the lively ragtime music for which the hapless man had ex pressed a preference, but. not for a single Instant was he left to hla own thoughts. Htcks was rescued Friday Morning. Do you feel short? If you have finished your Christmas shopping—and you ought to be through —you probably do. Cheer up. Tills Is the shortest day In the year. Maybe that’s the reason. According to astronomical calcula tions, the gnosebone, the buckeye and the dope book, the sun gets out of bed a little later today than usual and re tires sooner, playing both ends against the middle und sticking as close to union hours as possible. Hut the fact that In the Northern Hemisphere—In which we ere most vi tally Interest'd—the sun and earth are at the "minimum separation”—will not make the tired clerks and saleswomen believe the day Is the shortest. The hours stretch out In lonr days behind the counters. Perhaps you might help a little. One way Is to shop earlv In the day and relieve the great rush of the after noon. Another thing that might help a little Is the thought that these sales people are not machines—that they have nerves like yours, that they aro tired, dead tired, from the da>* that have gone before. Moet of them hare been at work half the night, on their feet hour after hour, without a mo ment’s rest. A little thought for them, a little more patience, a little less sharpness In your vole*—will go a long way toward lightening their load. It Is not the shortest day In the year for the Christmas workers. Hut If you try you may make the day seem a little shorter. Worth trying. Isn’t It?
