DESPITE HARDSHIPS
MISS STONE IS WELL
The CAPTIVE WOMAN WRITES
ANOTHER LETTER TO CON-
SUI DICKINSON.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Consul Gen
eral Dickinson, from Sofia, reports to the
state department by cable the receipt by
him of another letter from Miss Stone,
as already noted in the press dispatches
of last night He quotes Miss Stone as
saying:
1--WE are still well in spite of all our
hardships.'
There are other matters treated in the
letter which it is not deemed wise to
publish.
Mr.. Dickinson complains constantly OF
attempts to interfere with the line OF
communication he is seeking to establish
with the brigands. Although no explana-
ton is offered by him as to the reasons Tor
this interference, 1t is believed here that
the Bulgarian authorities are seeking TO
pave the way for a denial of responsible
ity for an indemnity by exhibiting unnec-
essary activity in the pursuit of any per-
sons who might be supposed TO be able 10
inform them of the whereabouts of Miss
Stone.
notwithstanding the difficulties which
are daily encountered by the state depart
metn in its efforts to reach Miss Stone,
the belief is strong among the of1cials
that in the near future they will succeed
in securing her release. 1t is true, as
reported. from Constantinople that the
principal issue is one of amount Of the
ransom to be paid and this delays the ne
gotiations. for the brigands, fully aware
of the exact amount of money at the dis
posa1 of the United States agents in
Turkey. are holding back evidently in the
hone Of having that amount increased BY
further subscriptions.

KILLED TEACHER
AND HID THE BODY
REVOLVING MURDER IN ALA5A.
MA-THE MURDERED MAN WAS
A FORMER GEORGIAN.

HELM, Ala, Nov. III. r. Chandler,
a school teacher at Oak Level, IN this,
Cleburne county, nut whose home is at
Lime Branch, Ca. was slain here some
20 days ago, but the crime was not known
until yesterday, when the body was dis
covered in a ravine near this place.
Back In the mountains, two miles from
where Chandler taught school, lived Mol
lie Mccormack. Wright Knighton. man
living near -by, visited her frequently, and
on a recent visit found Chandler there. A
difficulty ensued. Knighton warned Chan
dler not to repeat mis- visit or nc would
forfeit his life.
Three weeks ago Chandler drew mis- sal
airy as school teacher and had S5 I'm cash
and about $40 in checks. He started across
the mountains on foot to Piedmont, his
route running near the Mccormack wo-
mans house. When near that home he
was struck on the head with some heavy
instrument, crushing his skull just over
the eyes. He was dragged about $50 yards
from the path he was travelling, thrown
into a gully and covered with dirt and
stones, his head being first cut or and
hid.
While searching for Chandler Knighton
was met by some Of the searchers, and on
being asked to join them in their search,
replied that it was no use to hunt for
Chandler any more. This remark, to-
gether with the fact that both Knighton
and the Mccormack woman have been
spending money literally for the past few
days, led to the arrest of both.

SIZE OF MAJORITY
THE ONLY QUESTION

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 9.-The elecs
ton for the adoption or rejection Of the
new Alabama constitution will be held
on Monday next. The state chairman or
the Democratic campaign committee, Hon.
Oscar W. Underwood, on the eve OF the
election, -eiterates his claim that 1T is on
ly question of the size of the majority.
Today there are speakers for ratifica-
ton in every nook and corner Of Ala
bama.
The "antis'' have not displayed their
usual vigor the past week and the rati-
ficationists infer from this that they see
defeat staring them ir the face and have
about given up hope.
Chairman c. NJ. Shelley, of the anti
ratification state campaign, on the other
hand, states that the ratificationists are
going to run up against a considerable
surprise on Monday.
Congressman Richard H. Clark made
speech for ratification iE Rebie hall in
Bessemer last night. That city has been
against ratification because me new con-
stitution failed to provide that 1t should
get a slice of Jefferson county and be-
come the chief city OF a new county. Mr..
Clark made a sound argument, however.
ana received a respectful hearing. Chair
man Henry B. Gray, of this county, says
that outside of Bessemer ne feels assured
of carrying every town In the county and
that he thinks he will carry Bessemer
also although he realizes that there is
strong opposition there.

MORE POWER GIVEN
TO R. R. COMMISSION
RIGHT OF MANDAMUS TO EN-
FORCE ORDERS is PURPOSE
OF NEW BILL.

If the bill introduced in the house of
representatives Saturday by Messrs. Slaton
and Houston of Fulton passes the house
and senate the railroad commission OF
Georgia will be given authority by the
right of mandamus proceedings to en-
force the orders issued by that body.
The bill is intended to bring relief to
the people of Atlanta from the alleged
union station, III event the depot bill
which is to be introduced this week by
the depot committee fails of passage.
At present the railroad commission has
authority to order the railroads to build
separate stations in Atlanta, but the only
penalty provided, in event the railroads
do not obey the order, is the sum of $1,000
To get this money it is necessary to file
regular damage suit in the superior court
But the bill of Messrs. Slaton and Hous-
ton relieves the situation and gives the
commission the right to mandamus the
railroads at once and to cause them TO
pay up the money should they fail to
obey the orders.
Mr. Slaton says the bill will pass the
house.

SAYS 1t Is a Political Trick.
He Wrote Salty Letter
to Commissioners
Rogers.

State School Commissioner G. R. Glenn
will be arrested this morning by Sherin
English of Washington county on the
charge of criminal libel. The warrant on
which the commissioner will be arrested
was sworn out last week by John n. Rog-
ers, county school commissioner Of Wash
ington county, and is the outcome of
salty letter written by DR. Glenn to Rog-
ers, copies OF which were also sent to
the members of the school board OF WASH
ington county
1t is understood that DR.. Glenn intimate
ed in this letter that Rogers books should
be carefully examined, and otherwise ex-
pressed opinions of Rogers, which DR..
Glenn himself says no honest man de-
served and no brave man would bear.
DR.. Glenn will accompany Sherin Eng
lish to Washington county, where bond
will be fixed. The hearing of the case
will attract interest all over Georgia, es-
pecially as it has great political signif-
canoe; in fact DR.. Glenn himself declares
that the whole matter is political trick
to injure him, and that Rogers is but
the tool OF others.
1t has already been published that a
concerted effort is being made to bring
about opposition to DIR. Glenn next time,
and Ex-Governor Northen is looked to by
Commissioner Glenns enemies as the
most available candidate. Petitions have
been circulated asking the ex-governor
to stand for the place, and he promises
to give an answer tomorrow.

OISS De BAR CASE
CONTINUES TO SHOCK

LONDON. Nov s-The hearing Of the
charges against Theodore and Laura
Jackson (Ann Odelia Diss DeBar) was re-
sumed at the Marylebone police court
Yesterday before a crowded courtroom.
The clerk of the court informed rep
resentative of the Associated Press that
enough witnesses had been summoned TO
keep the court busy for two weeks. There
were no women present yesterday. Laura
Faulkner continued her testimony The
most dramatic incident today was when
Laura Jackson began her customary
badgerIng cross-examination OF the wit
ness. who turning. pointed her finger at
the female prisoner. vehemently denounc-
co her las the author OF her ruin. In
spite of it's melodramatic tinge, the incl
dent aroused applause. whereupon the
presiding judge threatened to clear the
court.
The occurrence seemed to shake the
nerve OF the female prisoner and her
subsequent conduct of the case was not
marked by the ability which she has here
tofore displayed.
