' THE EMPIRE LIFE
IS NOT JUSTIFIED
Segment By President W. W.
Action Piled in Atlanta
Wednesday afUmnon of this week
k petition was filed in the Superior
»'? rt * n Atlanta by three law firms
acting in conjunction asking for a re
ceiver for the Empire Life of Atlanta.
J he attorneys are supposed to be rep
resenting James R. Brown of Canton.
La., who is a stockholder in the com
pany, The petition was filed before
Judge Ellis, who has issued a rule
nisi citing the company to appear and
show cause July IS why a receiver
should not be appointed. The petition
ulleges that the company is insolvent
and further that the statement as filed
with the insurance department is in
flated.
In talking to a representative of The
Insurance Field about the matter the
Georgia insurance commissioner said
that he would rather not be quoted.
He however has approved the state
ment of the company which is now on
file in his department with his stamp
of approval.
President Reid’s Statement.
To a representative of The Insur
ance Field Thursday President Reid
of the company gave the following
statement:
"The filing of the petition by seve
ral attorneys representing James R.
Brown of Canton, Ga., is not taken
with any degree of seriousness by the
officers of the company owing to the
fact that the allegations set out in the
petition are so distorted as to elimi
nate an yelement of real truth. Par
lcularly is this true in the statements
made about myself in the sale of the
stock to Mr. rßown. Heretofore Mr.
Brown has alw r ays been on the best of
terms with myself and the other of
ficers of the company, and expressed
himself as well satisfied with his in
vestment, both in person and in writ
ing. It would therefore appear that
the filing of the petition is more in
the light of malicious persecution. Out
last statement as filed with the In
surance department of Georgia shows
the company to be in a perfectly sol
vent condition. It must be borne it
mind that the figures in this state
ment w'ere not made by the officers
at will as the petition would indicate,
but they were made by a duly accred
ited actuary of the insurance depart
ment of Georgia, acting for that de
i -irt ment in his official capacity. Our
h newer will of course be made on the
3 Pth but we have no fear of the out
remc, I nst month was one of the
best in the history of the company.”—

RAPID STRIDES
IN ANTI-TRUST
Bills in Revised Form to Be
Ready For Submission to
Senate Early in Week.
Washington—Rapid strides were
were made by the senate judiciary and
commerce committees today on the
administration anti-trust bills, and
assurances were given tonight that
railroad securities measure and the
Clayton bill would be ready tn revised
form for submission to the senate ear
ly' next week.
The commerce committee spent the
day on the securities bill and virtually
decided to strike from the measure the
provision investing the interstate
commerce commission with power to
direct the purposes for which stock or
bond issues of railroads should be ex
pended. The amendment would pro
vide that the commission investigate
all applications for stock issuances and
to reject or approve them, but in cases
of acceptance, the commission would
not have the power to determine how
the money should be expended.
The elmmittee did not complete its
work Other points will be disposed
of Monday.
It was also decided to strike from
the bill the provision permitting pick
eting on the premises of employers in
time of strikes or other labor troubles.
The committee proposes to revise
somewhat provisions prohibiting in
terlocking directorates, holding oom
l antes and price discriminations.
These changes will be perfected Mon
day.

THOSEAMAItURS
FROM THE U. S.
The Paid Amateur Representa
tives of the “Stars and
Stripes” a Lesson—Olympic
Games.
London.—Despite the lukewarm re
sponse to the Olympic Council's appeal
for a $500,000 campaign fund the aeaveh
for talent goes on. Economies will have
to be practiced and the origins 1 scheme
has been considerably curtailed but the
members of the reorganized council are
all out to get the best athletic represen
tation possible at the Merlin games in
1916. TKe American lesson has been
taken to heart and the old order is
changing. British amateurism is tak
ing a wider range. When America ut
such a figure in the 1908 Olympiad in
London, you will remember the scream
about the paid amateur representatives
of the “Stars and Stripes" It seems
to have dawned on this effete old coun
try that such squealing, while all the
plums of the athletic world were passing
into foreign hands, was not of much use.
Great Britain will not even have the
consolation of shouting about the purity
of her amateurism if she fails at Ber
lin, for vve have trainers of all sorts here
now and we shall have more when the
wheat is sifted fVom the chaff. The
outdoor athletic meetings are just
starting and at al! the chief gatherings
there are special scratch Olympic field
events, which are to he utilized as the
media of elimination.
Javelin.
Special attention is being devoted to
the pole and high jumps and to throwing
the javelin, in each of which the Brit
ishers have been sadly wanting.
In view of the revision of the program
of Olympic games, the Amateur Athletic
Association has decided to add to theiv
list of championships the following
events: Throwing the javelin, throwing
the discus; hop, step and jump, and 440-
yard hurdle race.
It. O. Kitchling, the champion javelin
throw’er here. has several times ap
proach 150 feet and his keenest rival,
Kenneth McLennan, is coming on so fast
that Kltchling’s supremacy Is threaten
ed .
The fans here set great store on A. E.
Fbixman. the old English hammer
throwing champion, who is said to have
accomplished “what the American ath
letes have always held to be impossi
ble" by throwing the 16-pound hammer
with four turns from a seven-foot cir
cle, thereby increasing his throw up to
nearly 15*> feet.
Recent events In the spelling world
have acted as a powerful stimulus to
athletic enthusiasm in this country and
it may be assumed that the British team
for Berlin will be even better equipped
than was the one which did duty at the
London celebration.
SUFFRAGE BAND
DISCUSS WAGES
In Talk With Prime Minister
Asqnith—Average Wage of
Women is Discussed.
London,—The recent meeting be
tween Prime Minister Asquith and the
women representing Sylvia Pank
hurst’s East End Suffrage Club is
unique in English history, for never
before have women workers of the
lowest social class told tneir wage
grievances to so high a personage.
The average wages of women
throughout the country. Mrs. Julia
Scurr told the Prime Minister, is but
seven shillings a week. Many women,
she said, supported children and par
ents on this, although the Immigration
Board has held that a woman cannot
live in London on less tlwi 17 shil
lings and six pence a week. To small
wages and the severity of the strug
gle was attributed the large number
of suicides among married working
women of the city. Mrs. Scurr said
the poor law attached harsh and hu
miliating terms to the relief given and
was thoroughly hated by the. Indigent.
In Justifying the demand of the
working women for suffrage, the del
egates told the Prime Minister that
there did not seem to no any other
way of making their wrongs known to
the public. Women are still sent to
prison for inability to pay their taxes,
and few of those who suffer from
drunken and brutal husbands can af
ford the luxury of a divorce.
One of the suffragists, Mrs. Hughes,
opened her argument by laying on the
Premier's table a brush that retails
at ten shillings.
"For my share In making that, I get
two pence,” said Mrs. Hughes.
Her pay, she explained, was two
pence for filling 200 holes with bris
tles, and her husband got two pence
half penny for finishing the brush.
To support her home required four
teen hours work a day.
Another delegate said she was rear
ing a family of six children under the
age of thirteen on her husband's pay
of 25 shillings a week as a docker.
A pitiable story was related by a
woman, who had started work In a
Jam factory at the age of eleven.
When left a widow with two children,
she shared her small rom with an un
fortunate girl whose hahy had been
horn In a workhouse. As the widow's
wages could not feed them all, the
girl drowned herself and hahy In the
Thames
Mr. Asquith In reply said that It
would l»e perhaps difficult to get sub
stantial and Intelligent reform In the
Kant End unless the women them
selves had a voice In choosing the
members of Parliament. But their
problem was such that It could not he
solved by any short cut. He promis
ed to consider their cnee fully.
Although the Premier treated the
delegatee as non-militants atid at
'acked militancy the East Ixindon
I Federation which they represented,
I has never repudiated militancy. Nor
I have the delegates.

HUERTA TO GO ON

I ‘DOPEJGHOOL
Astonishing Picture of Vice
Given State Commission. Con
victs Taught to Use Drugs.
New York,—Although he denied the
existence of a political ring that makes
many thousands of dollars yearly out
of th drug and whiskey trade with
Sing Sing prisoners, James M. Clancy,
former warden of that institution, re
vealed to the state prison commission
an astonishing picture of vice and
graft.
Summoned to answer questions
about the alleged interviews, in which
he put the drug, evils squarely up to
the politicians, Clancy refused to ad
mit there is a ring at work, but show
ed liis eagerness lo tell about corrupt
keepers, dishonest lawyers and schem
ing relatives of prisoners.
“Untold quantities” of drugs are
smuggled into Sing Sing, he said. His
description of the methods employed
by the drug users and their allies made
a profound impression on the commis
sioners. Clancy was questioned in a
law office in No. 54 William street.
Clancy pointed out one of the weak
nesses of tlie present penal system
when he spoke of the low wages paid
to keepers and the heavy profit reaped
by every one concerned in the drug
trade. A quantity of opium that could
be bought by the keeper for a dollar,
he said, could be retailed to the pris
oners for $lO. He advocated higher
salaries for keepers and isolation of
prisoners who are drug victims.
Making use of pencils, fountain pens,
shoe U els, handkerchiefs, embossed
postal cards and even letters marked
' Rockefeller Vice Society,” the smug
glers have kept a steady stream of
drugs going through the prison. As
soon as Clancy started an investiga
tion, the price of cocaine, morphine
and heroin was increased by tlie deal
ers. That was the only result of his
attempted reform, he said, except that
the prisoners who revealed some of
the Becrets of the traffic were threat
ened with death by the other convicts
and had to be kept locked up day and
night for their own safety.
“Those informers would have been
killed had they crossed the. prison
yard,” said Clancy, “and the murders
would have been committed in plain
sight of the authorities."
tinder the instruction of the keepers,
whom he described as drug fiends, the
younger prisoners Hoon become vic
tims of the vice. Sing Sing, in Clancy’s
opinion, has become nothing more or
less than an academy for “dope fiends."
Almost every employe and civilian in
the prison was suspected, Clancy said,
of taking a, hand in the lucrative traf
fic.
Clancy gave the commissioners a
few pointers on the condition of the
prison buildings, saying all the rooms
where crafts and industries were car
ried on ought to be enlarged. The
foundry he asserted, is likely to col
lapse at any time and kill the work
ers As for sanitation, he said, pneu
monia, tuberculosis and rheumatism
have grown to such proportions that
they threaten to rival the drug trade
as Sing Sing's worst evil.
GOV'T OFFICIALS,
PLEASURE CRAFT
Washington.—Representative Good,
republican, of lowa, made an attack
in the house Saturday on the use of
revenue cutters as "pleasure craft" by
Secretary McAdoo. Representative
Good declared that the revenue cutter
Onondaga made regular week-end trips
out of Boston to accommodate "par
ties of democrats.” lie quoted an
article from a newspaper saying Mr.
and Mrs. McAdoo had made a cruise
to Mattupolsset, Mass., in the Onon
daga. . -
Mr. Good read a statute enacte-i
some time ago prohibiting the use of
revenue cutters except for government
busihess.
"If the public had the power, he
concluded, “It would demand the re
moval of the secretary of the treasury,
who not only fails to enforce the law,
but himself violates it."

NEGRO ATTACKS
C. H. OELLRICH
LAST NIGHT
Storekeeper on Old Savannah
Road Barely Escapesßeinq
Killed By Unknown Bludgeon
Wielder. Sheriff Plunkett to
Use Bloodhounds
The Old Savannah road 1 nthe region
of Carmichael’s was again the scene
of a serious crime Inst night. Within
half a mile of the place where Walker
Green was killed by his brother-in-
Inw a month ago, a man was almost
murdered at 10 o’clock last night.
Mr. C. H. Oellerlch, who keeps a
store on the Old Savannah road just
where the road turns off to Car
michael’s Club was attacked by a ne
gro, who entered the store apparently
for the purpose of robbery. The ne
gro came in asking for some cheese.
Mr. Oellerlch told him he bad no
cheese on hand at the moment. The
man then asked for a nickel's worth
of crackers, and when he had received
these, he asked for a soft drink. Mr.
Oellerlch went to the iee box.
“What Do You Want?”
"What do you want?" he Inquired.
"I’ll take a clear soda,’ ’said the
n egro.
As Mr. Oellerlch leaned over the
box to get the bottle out, he saw the
negro make a movement towards him
which caused hint to dodge.
The fact that he ducked his head
probably saved his life, for the negro
struck him with an implement of some
sort, hitting him a glancing blow
about two inches above the left ear.
From the wound It was apparent af
terwards that the Implement had been
a "billy,” the most deadly weapon In
the world, outside of firearms.
Madie Another Pass.
Mr. Oellerich was tsunned, hut not
rendered unconscious as he would have
been had the blow been straight, and
he half fell, half stumbled across the
threshold Into his bedroom which ad
joins the tsore. The negro made an
other pass at him but missed him.
Mr. Oellerich was able to stagger to
his shot gun, which was leaning
against the mantlepiece in the room,
and the negro, seeing him reach it,
made for the door. Mr. Oellerich man
aged to get to the po*ch and fire once
at the retreating figures of two men,
the other being a white man whom he
had seen on the porch when the negro
first entered the store. He then fell
unconscious, where he was found by
his wife a moment afterwards.
With His Wifs.
Mr. Oellerich Is a man fifty-odd
years of age, who lives alone In his
store with his wife, and It is obvious
that the object of the assault on him
was robbery. He hail never seen the
negro or the white man before, but
stales that he thinks ho would he able
to identify the negro.
Mrs. Oellerich did what she eould
at first to stop the blood which was
streaming from the wound in her hus
band's head.
About ten minutes nfter the crime
a machine passed going from town and
Mrs. Oellerich rushed out In the hope
of stopping it. she was too late to
catch It, hut before going hack Into
the house she saw another machine
coming towards town. This ear she
was able to flag down and Mr. A. O,
Brinson of Waynesboro, who was In
the car, was the first person on the
scene.. It was he who called County
Policeman Murphy and fetched Mr. H.
H. Oellerich, the injured man's son,
P»»»*d Thsm Both.
Mr. Brinson stated that he had
passed a white man and a negro walk
ing up the hill away from town. It
so happened that he passed them Just
as he passed the other machine, so
that he eould see them distinctly by
the head-lights. He said that he no
tired they turned sway their faces and
ducked their heads as he went by so
that he was unable to see their feat
ures
At first It wa sthought that Mr.
f)<llerlch wns fatally Injured, until he
began to come bark to htmself and
show signs of consciousness. At 11
o'clock he wan able to sit up and talk
to the reporters, though he was suf
fering a good deal from pain In hN
head.
Sheriff Plunkett.
He stated that he came to America
from Germany In 1870, Just before the
outbreak of the Franco-Prusnlan war.
Luring the paat eleven years he has
lived with his wife alone at the store
by f'arrnlchnel's, his children being
grown and married.
Sheriff Plunkett arrived on the scene
about 11:15. and it wns thought prob
able they would start out With the
hounds before morning on the trail cf
the criminals.

“SNAGGLE TOOTH” NEGRO
LANDED BY DETECTIVES
One of the “Pocket-Book”
Artists Who Has Been
Growing Rich at the Expense
of Rural Population.
A negro named James Daniel, alias
“Uamma" (presumably shorl for Ala
hiuiKi) is now in the pall owing to his
k\”l in perpetrating what is known as
"Pocket-book trick." Detectives
Glover, Horn, Roney and Reid sat up
all Thursday night over his case, fl
nally landing him at dawn out on the
New Savannah Road hy raiding a.
negro gambling house in which they
heard he was.
Several complaints had reached the
police about a “enaggled-tooth nig
ger" who had on more than one occa
slon beguiled gullible country mem
hers with the famous trick. It was
on this description mainly that they
arrested Daniel.
An old negro was sent for all the
way from Blythe, Ga., to identify the
prisoner. About seven or eight ne
groes wore In the guard room yester
day and the old negro was told to go
down and pick out his man. He
went alone, so that there would he
nothing to Influence Ills choice. He
went straight up to Daniels:
“You's do one!” he ejaculated ex
citedly. "You's do nigger got my
nine dollars. You, in de white shirt."
Daniels made some very uncompli
mentary remarks to the old negro
while tills was going on.
Another negro victim who lives at
310 Wylde Street, was sent for Just
to make sure of the Identification.
Daniels is now safely under lock
and key.
