persons were injured, some probably
fatally, when the southbound train on
the Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie crashed Into a switch en
gine in the railroad yards here at 2:10
o’clock Sunday morning.
One of the Injured died after his re
moval from the wreck, and six others,
It is thought, cannot survive their in
juries. All of those killed were in the
smoking car, which was completely
telescoped.
Train Was Crowded.
The train was crowded with people
bound for their homes In the East to
spend the Christmas holidays. The en
gineer hnd Just blown his whistle for
this station, and many of the passen
gers were on their feet when the crash
fame They were thrown Into writhing
heaps on the floor of the car.
Overturned stoves soon set Are to
the wreckage, and the rescuers had to
work hard to cheat the flames of vic
tims. Only a few of the passengers In
the day coaches were injured. The
sleepers did not leave the rails, and
there were no casualties in the Pull
man cars.

TRIBUTE TO SAM JONES
IN *AMERICAN REPUBLIC
No finer tribute or tenderer has beep
written of Georgia’« great evangelist, Rev.
8am Jonea, tbnn appears In tbe Initial mim
her of Sidney C. Tapp'a new magazine,
American Republic.
Mr. Tapp baa written of the dead evangel-
iat under the beftdlng, “8am Jonea Rullded
Greater Than Alexander the Great.” In
language rich with feeling and appreciation,
the writer tell* of tbe grief that filled every
heart when the new* was flashed—'“Sam
Jones is dead.” lie paints the scene of the
funeral train moving Into the capital city
bearing tbe distinguished dead, and the aor*
row so plainly mirrored In every face ns
the thousands moved by to look for tbe
last time upon the still form of him who
had moved multitudes to n higher life.. The
writer says:
* id linavni nf B. v „. __

tlon seem to hnre been guarding the mortal
remains, not of a man who hnd led a charge
in battle, not of a man who bad produced
carnage and death, not of a man who had
directed tbe helm of the ship of state, not
of a man who had interpreted and con*
strued the laws of his country, but of a
ninn who hnd told the ‘old, old story* to
the plain people.”
lu closiug his beautiful tribute, Mr. Tapp
ends with the following fitting words:
“This la tl«> first opportunity we have
lmd to pay n just tribute to your great
life. It la euded and humanity Is better
by you having lived. We are all standing

Rather frosty work, selling newspa
per* nuch days oa these, Isn't It?
The little fellows try to keep warm
by running and yelling, but the Angers
beneath tfce ragged mittens are mighty
stiff and blue sometimes.
If you have ever been a newsboy
yourself—then you know whst It means
to run around corners where the wind
blows cold, to dodge among street cara
and tnotor cars and yell, "Extry! All
about the big wreejt," and nil for a
penny or two.
A. K. Hawkes, the viaduct merchant,
has thought of the boys. He used to be
a newsboy, away hack when patiers
were different from those of today-
long before he came to Atlanta to build
up a business from capital begun by
selling those same papers on the street.
He has thought of them In a substan
tial way.
''Here are twenty-live brand-new
dollar bills, Just from the printers,”
said Mr. Hawkes to The Georgian. T
want you to give one, with this letter,
to each of the twenty-live boys who
seem to need It moat."
Each note was enclosed In an envel
ope, with u little letter of Christmas
cheer to the recipient from Mr.
Hawkes. Those dollars will mean u
whale lot to the'llttle fellows. Many a
Christman gjft for mother or sister,
many n warm muffler which the boys
have watched in thj show windows as
something far beyond their reach will
have a new owner before the neweboys
have gone home for the night.
This Is not the first (Christmas that
the newsboys have known the gener
osity of.Mr. Hawkes. For years he has
given them something on Christmas
day.
SALESMEN-SLEUIHS' WATCH
OVER JE WELRY COUNTERS
You would be surprised,” remarked
a fly cop, V nalenmnn sleuth, in a
Whitehall street Jewelry store, “how
many ‘histem* f’hrial mat* time brings
ring In a trrfy tilled with genuine dla
monds. This is a game that is often
worked successfully, and ordinary Jew
elry clerks will get worked If their
forth. And they are people who would f eyes are turned away for an inatant.
not be expected to do such things un
less you were on the watch for that
sort of a game.” w
Although it U noP generally known,
moat up-to-datb Jewelry stores employ,
at this time of the year, expert detec
tive*, sent to them by agencies In the
North, who are expert Jewelry salesmen
well. These agencies can supply
detectives who are expert in any kind
of work, and besides selling goods, they
have* their eyes constantly open for
shop-lifters and sneak thieves.' In the
language of crooks and detectives or
fly cops, as crooks call them, a shop
lifter who works Jewelry stores Is a
•hlster/ and about this time of the
year they work their graft harder than
at any other time. The crowds which
flit the stores make their work easier. I
In a well-known Whitehall street
jewelry store there Is an expert sales
man. sent then* for the holidays, and
to look at him, one would never Imag
ine he was a detective. But he Is, and
he Is constantly watching bis custom
ers.
“If precautions were not taken," he
continued, “the loss to Jewelry stores
at this time or the year would be an
Immense one. Only this morhlng I de
tected a well-dressed woman palming
away a brooch set with diamonds. And
when I called. the turn she didn’t
scream or faint. Bhe just nervlly re
marked that It was her mistake. Hhe
was a ‘hlster*, and an expert at that.
On Saturday a well-dressed man at-
These phoney diamonds look like
genuine ones at a glance, and It Is gen
erally not till later on that the swindle
Is discovered.”
And all the time this detective-sales,
man was talking his eyes were taking
In everything that went on In the store.
