AT WORK
TUESDAY
. Train No. 4 Tuesday Night
Frustrated by Engineer Print
up Near Martinez.
Passenger train No. 4 of the Char
leston & Western Carolina Railway,
due in Augusta from Spartanburg at
S:l6 p. m„ Tuesday night, very nearly
met with a serious accident at the
nine-mile post, just beyond Martinez,
in Columbia County, by a cross-tie
which was placed across the track.
sH£ineer Printup, of engine No. 110,
fortunately saw the tie In time, and
<T*s able to bring his train almost to
standstill before the engine struck
the obstruction.
The cross-tie had evidently been
placed on the track by parties wishing
to wreck the train.
Owing to the engineer's quick action
the train was not derailed, and the
only damage sustained was the pilot
of the engine. When the train had
been brought to a halt, the track was
quickly cleared, and No. 4 arrived in
Augusta only slightly behind schedule.
An Investigation was immediately
started by the C. & W. C. detectives,
in conjunction with the Columbia
County authorities, but so far no clue
to the identity of the guilty parties
has been found.
STEEPLE HUT TOM
' IS RECAPTURED
Desperate Escaped Negro Con
vict, Many Times Murderer,
Captured Tuesday Night By
Detectives.
"Steeple-hat Tom” Harris, the ne
gro who escaped from the county
stockade on September 24th, after
shooting and dangerously wounding
one of the guards, was recaptured
Wednesday morning at 1 o’clock in a
house on Sharpe street by Detectives
Roney and Horne. The capture signal
izes one of the highest achievements
of the Augusta detective force and
marks the culmination of one of the
most difficult and baffling man-hunts
in the annals of the police depart
ment.
Steeple-hat's criminal record is per
haps unique in this part of the country
and he is probably the most danger
ous and desperate negro who has ever
been on the Richmond county chain
gang.
His career began when he killed a
negro three years ago in Savannah,
for which he was sentenced to ten
years. He was placed in the Appling
county jail but before many months
he escaped and took to the woods. He
was followed by the sheriff and depu
ties, one of whom he shot and killed
when the deputy had him cornered In
a swamp. After this he disappeared
and was not seen or heard of again
until he was convicted of burglary in
Columbia, S. C., and sentenced to fivq
years. He was not known in Colum
bia as the Appling escape.
About a year ago he shot and
wounded one of the guards on the Co
lumbia chain gang and escaped to Au
gusta, where he has been ever since.
Last spring, here, he shot and
wounded a furniture collector, Mr. Eu
banks, for which he was given a ten
year sentence on the Richmond county
chain gang. He escaped from thence
on September 24, two months ago, af
ter shooting Guard J. T. Cole and
wounding an old negro. (He had an
accomplice in his last escape, named
Wiggins, who has not been recap
tured.)
The detectives, Roney and Horne,
have been on his trail ever since, in
collaboration with Sheriff Plunkett
and his deputies, and Steeple-hat has
been located time and time again. But
he always got wind of his danger and
vanished before he could be cornered.
Tuesday night he was located in his
wife's house on Sharp street (which
runs'from Marbury street to Picquet
avenue) at about midnight. Detective
Horne, with a few trustworthy negro
helpers, was left to guard the house
while Detective Roney went and tele
phoned to police headquarters. The
sleeping detail was awakened and sent
out to the scene at once. With the
squad of policemen Detective Roney
surrounded the house while he and
Detective Horne knocked at the front
door. They took the negro who opened
the door, holding him before them, and
„ made him hurst open the door of
' Steeple-hat’s room. At the same time
the policemen surrounding the house
were Instructed to make their presence
known. Steeple-hat was arrested hy
the two officers before he could reach
his pistol, which was in the room. He
seemed somewhat dazed.
At the barracks he confessed to the
murder of two more people, a negro
man and woman, whom he claims to
have killed between his escape from
the Appling jail and the shooting of
the Appling deputy. He is anxious to
he sent back there and tried for his
life. He Is afraid of the punishment I
to which he may be subjected at the
county stockade because of his escape
and his attack on Mr. Cole, and says
he would rather be hanged than go
back there.
The police are Inclined to think that
this Is a ruse and that he may be
trying to Induce them to send him to j
Appling because he thinks he can es
cape from Ms guards on the way.
Steeple-hat Is downcast, but not aul
len and is obedient snd respectful to
the policemen who have him In charge,
by whom, in turn, he is accorded ev- |
cry consideration. He Is. at least, not
a petty • t contemptible criminal.
Cflle’f Elliott officially congratulated
Dectlves Roney and Horne on their
work In effecting the capture.

EMPIRE 111
MOVE HERE IN
NEAR FUTURE
Plans Formulated at Meeting
of Directors. Complete Vindi
cation Causes Directors to Be
Very Optimistic. Expect Fine
Business.
The directors of the Empire Life
Insurance Company held a meeting in
| Atlanta Tuesday at which there was
i a full attendance. Plans for remov
jMs the headquarters of the company
Ito Augusta as early as possible were
formulated and it is expected that
| within the near future the Empire
! will be in reality an Augusta insti
] tution. All of the Augusta directors
attended the meeting in Atlanta,
j The recent complete vindication of
( the company by the state insurance
commission caused every director to
be full of confidence and optimism for
the future. The Empire has been per
secuted as no other company has, and
the fact that it has twice stood the
test of the most rigorous investigation
within the past few months should be
a big advertisement for the company.
The company's business will show big
increases from now on and policies
and renewals of existing ones will
pour into the home office.

En route to Baltimore from Atlanta,
where he was in attendance at the
National Roads congress, Mr. Richard
H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufac

travel on North. He is with his wife,
and while here they were guests at

Mr. Edmonds advocates the raising
of foodstuffs on the farm and there is
probably no one who is better versed
in the situation than Mr. Edmonds.
He says "we can make these present

“MIZPAH," THE NAME SUGGEST
ED BY LADY.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 16, 1914.
I To the Herald:
A few nights agonoticed a piece
•in the People’s Forum about the nara
| ing of the new cemetery; now about
July or August I submitted a name to
! managers that I thought appropriate
for this new “city of the dead.”
The name I submitted was “Miz
pah.” Its meaning is “The Lord
watch between me and thee when are
absent one from the other.” All Bible
students will recognize the word.
Respectfully,
L. T. M.
ABOUT THE CEMETERY.
To The Herald;
I think Mr. F. G. Stevens makes the
very mistake he deplores. He thinks
it a good plan to give the new ceme
tery an attractive riame that we all
understand. Yet he recommends such
names as Campo Santo, and Pere la
Choise, names that not one in a hun
dred understands. Pere le Chaise
means Father la Chaise, a Jesuit priest
j of France for whom the French eem-
I etery was named. But what have we
Americans to do with French ceme
teries or with French Jeßuit priests?
They pronounce the name all right in
France (can Mr. Stevens pronounce
it?), but here it would be no time till
It was being called the "Peerless
Cheese.” As letters are being now ad
dressed, so I am told, to "Panther
View.”
For goodness’ sake, let us not be
such toadies to foreigners and to for
eign languages; isn't the American
language good enough for us? Name
it some good name in United States
American, that sounds sweet and
means something. Could any name be
fitter than Greenwood cemetery, as
proposed hy Mr. Benson “the cool
green woods of Georgia?” Mr. Stevens
thinks that name is "frayed.” I know
only one other by that name. As for
Arlington proposed by him, that is
frayed to tatters; we have right here
Arlington hotel and Arlington heights.
Name It Greenwood cemetery, say I.

OTIS SKINNER IN “THE SILENT
VOICE.”
For the first time In many seasons,
| Otis Skinner who is generally ac-
I counted the foremost of American
players will be seen in a role quite
i different from any in which he has
! appeared in recent years. The most
recent success of this splendid actor
was his impersonation of Haji, the
beggar, in “Kismet." He played that
role for two solid years. This sea
son, his play is modern, with its
scenes laid in New York and its
action taking place in the present day.
Mr. Skinner’s new role does not call
for other than modern costume but It
does demand a player of the highest
; ability, for the character is complex
jand in the hands of other than a fin
ished artist would lose much of Its
I force. As It is, actor and part are
! one, and it is said to be the strongest
j role Mr. Skinner has played in many
I years. The new play Is called “The
; Silent Voice." It was written by Jules
Eckert Goodman and he utilized a
I theme he found In one of the short
stories by Oouverneur Morris. It Is
jsald to he particularly interesting and
j very dramatic. With an elaborate
I production and a well balanced com
' pany, Charles Frohman will present
Otis Skinner In "The Silent Voice” at
the Grand tonight.

Commissioner of Public Works and City Engineer Talks of
Plans, Now That First Installment of Bonds Have Been
Sold Soon to Advertise For Bids For Building Levee
From East Boundary to C. and W. 0. and For Changing
Houston Street Sewer.
Now that $250,000 of the $750,000 of
flood protection bonds of 1914 have
been sold, the question which natu
rally arises in the minds of Augusta
people is what will be done right away
toward pushing the levee to comple
tion and insuring Augusta against
damage in case of high water in the
Savannah.
Mr. Nisbet Wingfield, city engineer
and commissioner of public works was
questioned Wednesday hy a Herald
reporter regarding the work that re
mains to be done.
"We shall proceed just as rapidly
as possible," said Mr. Wingfield, “and
soon bids will be requested for build
ing that portion of the levee between
Hast Boundary and the C. & W. C.
tiestle below Sand Bar Ferry. We
have a surveying crew below the city
now and just as early as can we shall
let the contract to do that work. Also
we shall advertise for bids for chang

opening, else water will hack through
the sewers Into the city streets when
ever the river gets to a high stage.

MORRIS CASE IS
ENDED IN THE
U.S, COURT
Went to Jury Early This After
noon After Much Evidence
Was Submitted As to Quality
of a Certain Steel Hammer
Involved.
The third day’s session of the United
States district court here was begun
Wednesday morning at the appointed
hour, 10 o’clock, and the fol owing mat
ters were disposed of hy the court:
Composition offered In the matter of
the Royal case, bankrupt, confirmed.
In the case of the United States vs.
the Central of Georgia railway, suit
for penalty for violation of safety ap
pliance act, the defendant company
was ordered to pay the stipulated fine
In such cases of SIOO. The verdict In
the case was made hy the consent of
the defendant.
Harry Page to Jail.
The court ordered the execution of
a verdict rendered In the case of Harry
J. Page, charged with obstructing the
malls at Martinez, Ga., at the time of
the last trainmen’s strike on the C. &
W. C, railway. The case was tried In
the United States court here last year
while Judge Sheppard was presiding,
and subsequently taken to the United
States court of appeals, where the
lower court’s decision was sustained.
Since his arrest Page has been out on
bond. Today In tho custody of Deputy
United States Marshal Pierce he was
taken to Jail to begin serving a three
months’ sentence as ordered by the
court.
Morris Cass Resumed.
At 10:20 o'clock the case of Charles
T. Morris vs. the lessees of the Georgia
railroad was resumed. The case was
closed and the arguments were begun
at 12:15, hut by the time the witnesses
this morning had been examined there
Is no reason why everyone present In
the courtroom, should not now he thor
oughly schooled In both hard and soft
stee , methods of tempering steel, how
steel hammers are .made and tempered,
which are safe and which are not, how
to tell good hammers from had ham
mers, which kind of steel Is best to
use in certain kinds of hammers, and
everything Imaginable pertaining to
steel hammers.
A defective hammer, according to
the plaintiff, caused the accident and
the question which was expected to be
solved this afternoon by the Jury \vas
whether or not the hammer Involved In
this particular case was defe<|lve, and
If so. who was responsible for the
plaintiff using the hammer
Temper of the Hammer.
The temper of the hammer, from
which a chip scaled off and caused the
loss of an eye—the hammer which
Morris was using Iri his work when In
jured—was tested by the use of a file
in the hands of witnesses on the stand
for the defendant. Htrlps of emory
cloth were also used In polishing ham
mers and a number of hammers, In
cluding the hammer with which Morris
was hurt, were Introduced as evidence.
Court was adjourned for the day
averaging about 145. Reports from
Savannah indicate that B. (’., as the
learn is popularly known there, has
the host team In its history and that
it has the edge this season on its rival,
Savannah High.
It will he recalled that Savannah
High held the local props to a 19-ti
the agreement with the city for the
gaets at the Sixth Street trestle, but
we believe that we shall get Hits
agreement through without any trou
ble.
A. J. Twiggs & Sons have the con
tract to build that portion of the levee
between Sixth Street and East Boun
dary and will begin work as early as
possible. While we are getting the
houses on Bay Street out of the way
of the levee Twiggs & Sons will be
finishing the earth work portion of
the levee between where it begins up
on the canal to Sixth Street. There is
considerable work to be done In va
rious placs and the Twiggs firm is
now getting ready to begin. This
firm is also working on the rip-rap
ping of the banks between Fifth Street
and East Boundary.
“My idea is to run the levee to the
C. &. W. C. Railroad and I believe
that this can be done with $5(10,000
of the three-quarters of a million
bonds voted this year, leaving $250,000
to continue the levee down to the
mouth of Butler’s Creek. 1 believe
that is very necessary for us to carry
the work on down to the mouth of
Butler's Creek to protect the city
from hack water and have always hud
this idea.
As to the pavement of the hanks of
the levee, we are counting on the gov
ernment to aid us because it will be
decidedly in the interest of navigation
to prevent the dirt that has been plac
ed on the levee from washing back
into the river and we are appealing
to the government on tlmse grounds.
Of course only that portion of the
levee In the city limits will need to be
paved."
shortly after 2 o'clock, following the
court’s charge to the Jury, both sides
In the case having been allowed, at
their suggestion, 45 minutes each for
argument. The arguments on either
side were very strong and a very great
interest awaits the verdict.

COUNCIL RATIFIES THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE
$250,000 of Bonds Sold to
Field, Richards & Company
For $231,580.
At a meeting of the elty council
of Augusta Tuesday afternoon It was
definitely decided to sell the $250,000
flood protection bonds to Field, Rich
ards & Company. The finance com
mittee had previously accepted the
bid of $231,580 made oy this firm,
which Is 92.83 and council ratified
the action of the committee. It would
have been within the power of coun- j
ell to reject the bid.
However, all things considered, the I
bid Is believed to be a good one and
h« Chairman Thomas Barrett, of the |
River and Canal Commission and the
members of the commission urged the
sale and as the members of city 1
council felt that they should be sold
also, there was not a dissenting voice. ,
WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question and “How to Prevent
Colds” is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching; the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott’s Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. It contains nature’s medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the

I of determining the rightful holder of
the state high school championship.
Tech High and Richmond academy
have eliminated all other public high
schools and it Is necessary to stage
a game between those two elevens in
order to decide who has the bettor
title. The only dope on the relative
standing of the two teams is by com
paring the score made by each against
Savannah High, the locals winning by
n. 19-G score and Tech High hy a 12-0
score, in each case the winner playing

closed. That Is said to bri a usual
form of nolfying a foreign vessel that
a port Is closed when other notifica
tion was not made. Vonrlah Is about
