TUESDAY, JULY 14.
EMPIRE LIFE AFFAIRS
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE”
—SOUTHEASTERN UNDERWRITER.
No Basis for Receivership, Nothing to Justify Such. Says
a Leading Insurance Paper. Will Undoubtedly Be De
nied By the Court.
The petition for a receivership for The
Empire Lite of Atlanta, filed by two or
three law firms in Atlanta at the in
stance of James R. Brown, of Canton,
and formev judge of the Cherokee cir
vuit, is an interesting proposition and
when the case is tried on July 18th, 1914,
will Indicate just what the hungry set
of lawyers can and will do to stimulate
business.
As to the merit of the claim, there is
absolutely nothing to justify the allega
tions nor cause a receiver to be appoint
ed. The petition will undoubtedly lie
denied when heard formally and answev
is made by the company. The Augusta
people interested in the company, though
some of them are related to the peti
tioner, will side with the company. In
tins connection, it is interesting to
now that the young attorney who
“drummed up’ the case is a relative of
’lie petitioner, who is 85 years of age,
and., it is further interesting to kn-ow
that at least two law firms who weVe
approached to take the cadfe decided not
in do so after making an investigation
&n«l talking with the company officials.
e do not attach any importance to
the matter so far as the merits of the

401 W. Adams St., Brownwood, Texas.-
"I had a severe case of dry itching scalp.
Then my head had blisters and pimples all
over it and when I scratched it
the irritation and itching were
dreadful. They continued to
hurt and smart and burn. My
hair fell out badly and gradually
my scalp was covered with
dandruff as powder. It
was the same burning in my
limbs, so bad that I could not
sleep or rest night or day.

"Then I began with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and received almost instan
taneous relief from every application until
all the symptoms were gone. I used the
Cuticura Ointment freely all over my head
once a week and the Cuticura Soap for
cleansing as often as necessary until I was
cured. Now my head is well and clean, my
hair is looking fine and the trouble is all
gone." tjbgned) Mrs. Julia Clingman, Jan.

First Copy of ‘Death Message’
Made Public by Mrs. Nelms.
Tracing Innes Connection.
Atlanta, Ga.--Atlanta and several
other cities are still feverishly awaiting
news fpom the missing sisters, Mrs.
lilois Dennis and Beatrice Nelms, who
have so mysteriously disappeared. The
latest developments in the case today
are as follows:
Mrs. Margaret Mindes, of San An
tonio, Tex., was found, and denied know
ing the two girls of Victor Innes or any
knowkledgo of them.
Despite this, it is certain that Mrs.
Mindes was seen with two young women
in Corpus Christ!, Tex., as late as last
Sunday night, and they answered the
description of the missing voting women.
Mrs. Nelms, mother of the girls, has
at last come to the conclusion that they
(ire dead and their bodies in the Mis’-
sissippi river at New Orleans. She has
offered a reward for them, "dead or
alive" in the hope that river men will
search for the bodies.
Mrs. Nelms revealed today that there
had been certain intimacy between In
nes and Mrs. Dennis. She said T,ois
feared the government officers were on
her trail on a white slavery charge, anil
also that Innes’ wife was having her
brothers trail iter through jealousy.
J- 3V. Krueger, an Atlanta government
employe; said that he saw Innes, whom
lie knows well, In Atlanta early last
May.
Marshall Nelms, brother of the missing
girls, is on his way from California to
Atlanta and will arrive tonight. He
knows nothing beyond what has been
published.
The first copy of the “death message"
received from Lois Dennis whs made
public by Mrs. Nelms. It read:
"After sending tile telegram Prom New
Orleans T got rid of B. there, and have
erne out here to find Marshall and
send him to follow her. I have sealed
her fate forever. She is now In the
unknown land and lam glad 1 did il. I
est B. to go the unknown path away
from all. Where no one will find her
or myself. I only hope the animals of
the water will have eaten us both beforo
you get these letters."
This, signed in writing very closely
like Mrs. Dennis if not actually hers,
was mailed from San Francisco, and was
the first intimation that anything was
wrong.
GEORGIA RUMTS
JO FOOT BILLS
House Defeats Bill for Cities
and Counties to Bear Part
Expenses for Bridges and
Underpasses.
Atlanta. —The feature of Mondays
session of the house of representatives
was the defeat of a bill authorizing
the state railroad commission to su
pervise inter-sections of railroads
with highways In the state, and to or
der bridges, underpasses, etc., built
when deemed necessary for the public
safety and to apportion the cost of
same between the railroads and the
counties and municipalities.
the house killed the bilDbecause it
thought the railroads should bear tho
whole cost oU such construction.
The house of representatives after
disposing of unanimous consents Mon
day adopted a report by the rules
committee setting over until Tuesday,
on account of the thin attendance
Monday, the constitutional amend
ments which were scheduled to be tak
en up Monday, and putting on tho
day's calendar a number of general
emergency bills which were ready to
be placed on third reading and pass
age and on which no debate was ex
pected.
The first of these was a bill to
amend the act relative to the granting
of charters to schools and colleges so
as to permit the granting of charters
to universities, and so as to permit
the granting of charters for more than
twenty years, when specially prayed.
The passage of this bill was neces
sary to the chartering of Oglethorpe
University in Atlanta. It was intro
duced by Messrs. Culpepper of Meri
wether and Kullbright and Heath of
Burke. The house passed the bill.
The next was a bill allowing cor
porations to revive their charters with
in five years after the date of expi
ration of came.
Speaker W. H. Burwell took the floor
In support of the bill, making a brief
speech explaining Its provisions and
the reasons therefor and urging the
house to pass it. As explained by
him, it often occurs that officers of
a corporation forget the date of tho
expiration of their charters until after
the date has passed, which subjects
the corporation to the penalty of liquid
ation. Mr. Burwell said it is not fair
to make stockholders In corporations
suffer loss because of such an over
sight hv th»lr officers. The house
passed the bill.

fled.
WIFE CARRIED SAWS TO
HUSBAND IN JAIL CELL
Atlanta.—For carrying saws to the
Fulton jail with which her husband
partially sawed his way to freedom,
Mrs. C. W. Dean, of 125 Garnet street,
Is being held at the police station.
Dean was recently sentenced to a year
on the gang for passing a forged
check. He occupied a cell with J. C.
Simmons, another alleged forger, and
his wife had been calling regularly
with clean laundry for him.
As Dean was scheduled to leave the
jail for the chain gang he had no
time to lose, so they could not cover
the marks of the saws Mrs. Dean had
concealed In the laundry. A turnkey
found severnl bars sawn nearly through
and frustrated the plot.
CONLEY TIRES OF JAIL.
Atlanta.—Jim Conley, accused and
convicted as accessory to Deo Frank

tired of waiting In jail while his law
yer wastes time trying to appeal the
case. He sent word to the judge to
day that he wanted to get out on the
chain gang and serve his year’s sen
tence. The judge probably will ac
commodate him.
