‘JACK THE RIPPER’
STORY EXPLODED
Atlanta. Ga, —Atlanta’s recent “Jack
the-Ripper” sensation has been* exploded.
It made many picturesque news items
while it lasted, for the local papers, but
it is admitted now even by the police,
that there never was 'any “Jack-the-
Ripper,” and that the series of Saturday
night murders, merely coincidntai in
happening to fall on those nights, were
all perpetrated under different circum
stances and by different people. This con
clusion has been forced by the following
up of clews in the cases. In the murder
of Sadie Huff, the police have discovered
that her throat was cut by a nian wiiom
she had known a long time and that he
rode with her in a hack on the night it
happened. It has similarly been shown
that Sophie Green was killed by a man
she had “keeping company” with.
All the murders were for specific motives
that had nothing to do with crimes of
the “Jack-the-Ripper” order.
COTTBfJ U WILL
BE 818 Oil BILE
Washington—" Whatever progress was
made by Senator LaFollette and Rep
resentative Underwood Saturday in
arriving at a compromise wool tariff
was not made public last night. Dem
ocratic Leader Underwood, represent
ing the Democratic majority of the
house in the struggle now under -way 7
to reach an agreement, said the con
ferences with Senator LaFollette will
be resumed Monday, but that a com
promise wool bill is not likely to be
offered to congress for “three or four
days.’*
The full joint conference commit
tee, consisting of five senators and
five representatives, met over the woo!
bill Saturday but decided to give Sen
ator LaFollette and Mr. Underwood a
further opportunity to reach an agree
ment. The free list bill was referred
to the same negotiators, who now 7
have in their care all the points of
tariff difference between the two
houses. Upon their ability to reach
an agreement on the two bills rests
the prospect of the passage of com
promise wool and free list tariff bills.
Brief hearings wW be given Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday to cot
ton manufacturers on the cotton biij.
The finance committee took up the
bill Saturday. Senator Smoot moved
that it be adversely reported at once;
Senator Williams moved that a fa
vorable report be made. In the dis
cussion that followed Senator Sim
mons urged that the North and South
Carolina manufacturers of cotton
goods be given a hearing, and the com
mittee finally agreed to the three days’
delay. By order of the senate the bill
will have to be reported back on
Thursday, Aug. 10th.
DAY PBBTBJIT CSSE
IS SENT TO TAFT
Washington, D. C—Over strenuous
Republican opposition the house to
day approved the “findings of fact” in
the committee report on the state de
partment Day portrait voucher case
and sent it to President Taft with the
recommendation that he "take appro
priate actibn touching the same.” The
committee in its conclusions charged
W. H. Michael, ’formerly chief clerk
of the state deperatment and now
United States consul general at Cal
cutta with misappropriation of funds
and Thomas W. Morrison, disburs
ing clerk of (he state department with
participation in the alleged misappro
priation whether by incompetence or
connivance. The final vote was 137
to 123 on a substitute offered by Rep
resentative Hamlin, of Missouri, chair
man of the committee for his resolu
tion under which the house would
have adopted the report as a whole.
Many Democrats had joined with the
Republicans in objecting to the ori
ginal resolution on the ground that it
would be improper for the house to
suggest to the President what action
he should take as the report advised
the dismissal of Michael and Morri
son from public service.
COLOMBIANS DEFEATED
BY PERUVIAN TROOPS
Guayaquil, Ecuador.—According to
advices received here Saturday, a
battle has been fought between Co
lombian and Peruvian troops in Ca
queta, a large unorganized territory
in Colombia and the Colombians were
defeated with great losses.
HELD PRISONER IN TREE
FOR TWO HOURS BY BULL
York, Pa.—Held prisoner by a bull
for two hours in a tree so low and
slender that the animal almost shook
him from the branches by repeated
attempts to tear it down, Abraham
Newcomer. a Craleyville cigarmaker,
escaped unharmed to tell of his hair
rising experience.
Newcomer was .Hacked so suddenly
as he was strolling across a field that
he had no time to select his tree. The
one into which he clumbered a frac
tion of a second before the infuriated
creature came up. was so slender that
it bent under his weight.
Again ana .again the bull dashed
against the trunk In an effort to break
it off or dislodge him, while New
comer looked vainly about him for
help. Finally, after a two-hour siege,
and when the man was almost ready
to drop from exhaustion, the bull
strayed far enough away to permit
him to leap to the ground and escape.
SUNDAY. AUGUST 6.
FEARED FOUL PLAY
AFTER EXPOSURE
Bribe Taker White Wrote Let
ter to Parents Saying He had
Told the Truth.
Washington.— Fears that he might
meet with foul play because of ins
exposure in the Senator Lorhner
case, according to testimony given
Saturday before the Lorimer com
mittee by Chas. "White, confessed
bribe-taker, caused him to write a
“farewell” letter to his parents in
which he said he had told the truth
in the story. White claimed this
letter was stolen from his satcher in
a Chicago hotel.
“You wanted your parents to know
what you have sworn to here as plain
lies, was the truth?”
“Yes.”
ENYIB3LE RECDBD
B. BE 6. FOOTBALL
Only Lost Two Games Out
of Dozen Played Last Sea
son.
Last season the University of Geor
ia football team won an enviable
record. This team lost only two
games out of twelve games played and
tied one here with Clemson. The
teams that defeated Georgia were Au
burn and Sewanee. Sewanee beat her
15 to 12 while the game with Au
burn was the only game Georgia went
to pieces in . While Georgia beat
most of the strongest teams in the
South last season, she will have a
harder time repeating that this year
on account of the four hardest games
coming in succession, namely, Tech,
Vanderbilt, Sewanee and Auburn.
The students, supporters and Alum
nus of the University of Georiga ex
pect one of the greatest football sea
sons since football began. Georgia
not only has some of the stars of last
season on the list, and all of which
are all-southern material, but it has
also some of the best Prep, reenfits
coming this fail.
Those of last year’s great team are
first, Capt. “Kid” Woodruff, who
hails from Columbus, Ga., and is tlw
best little half-back in the south.
Football fans of Augusta will remem
ber what a great game he played
against Clemson at the Georgia-Caro
lina Fair last year. He knows the
game from A to Z and cant be beat.
Next in importance is “Bob” Mc-
Whorter, who made all-southern un
disputed this by-gone season. He is
a big 175 pounder and when he gets
started he cant be stopped. He beat
several teams practically single
handed, among whom were Tech, Mer
cer, Tennessee, and others. He has
an original way of dodging, twisting
and squirming that stands him in a
class by himself as a half-back. Now
for the big tackle Maddox of Grif
fin, Ga. He tops the scales for about
165 pounds. Maddox would have un
doubtedly made all-southern last year
if, at the last game of the season, he
had not been placed as fullback on
account of the lack of one. This man
the great Faulkenburg of Sewanee
dreaded.
Georgia’s quarters, Slater and Hay
are both good men but Slater has a
slight edge on Hay in the line of du
rability while Hay is the best field
general. McClary is also a good man
but he lacks in experience. Thompson,
the end, is little but loud. He will
not be in the game this fall on ac
count of nervousness, but will be there
with the goods when the baseball sea
son opens. He was selected as all
southern catcher.
Georgia will suffer by the loss of
Hatcher and Cox, but these holes will
lie filled by the new men. Lucas,
who weighs 180 pounds is not alto
gether a sensational player but is a
steady and can hold his own with any
of them. He is especially noted for
his work on the defence. He held
the big Tech backs to a standstill last
year. * Peacock and Y'ork, fellow
guards of Lucas, while yet young and
inexperienced are coming and are to
be feared when the call of the grid
iron comes. Covington, last year's
center, while he is light, only about
160 pounds stands under it all and is
as hard as cast iron. He is not a
sensational star but he is a star. Ha
is a man who works his head to an
advantage. Bowden, the big end of
last year, is, it is understood, to be
shifted to half, and while he is
somewhat inexperienced he is one of
the best. Georgia is a little weak as
to ends next year on account of
Hatcher, the Augusta boy, leaving
and Bowden being shifted but under
the able coaching of Cunningham,- two
ends can be made.
With the “Preps.” Henderson, of
Gordon and Dillopere, of Riverside,
! are about ih best with Durden of G.
M. C. Of course there will be some
! from the other Prep, schools but they
will have to show what they can do
j before Cunningham will give them a
! place.
THIEVES AWED BY GUNS *
THAT RISE FROM RIVER
Boston.—Three alleged river thieves
were rowing away from a Mystic river
dock with 500 pounds of iron, when
revolvers suddenly appeared out of
the water at either side of the boat.
The three men in the boat dropped
their oars in sheer terrdr. The’newt
minute Special Officer Sargent, of tne
Boston & Maine Railroad, and Patrol
man McAllister, of the City Square
police station, dripping wet, had placed
them under arrest. The police offi
cers had watched the men at work
and swam out to the boat with all
their clothing on, just in time to maka
the capture. _
