PROFESSOR "SHUFFLES' OFF.
Assistant Textile instructor In the
Georgia chronological School Be-
comes Love Lorn and Suicides.

Professor John Wyatt Turner, as
ststant instructor of carding and spin
ming in the textile department Of the
Georgia School OF Technology, at At
lanta, committed suicide Sunday night
at the Alexander house, Is IL Mariet-
ia street, by taking morphine.
1t was stated by friends of the de-
ceased that a woman was the cause
Of the suicide, and In letter left by
Professor Turner this statement was
verified. He had been despondent for
some time, only his most Intimate
friends knowing the reason for it, and,
as a result, for several days had been
drinking constantly. He was under the
influence of drink, It is asserted by
those who saw him shortly before he
took his life.
At about $50 o'clock Professor Tur-
ner telephoned to Moses NJ. Wood, at
whose home, 12S Plum street, he board
ed. Mr.. Wood is employed as one OF
the night clerks Of the Southern rail-
way at the Mitchell street station.
Over the telephone Professor Turner
said to his friend that he had deter
mined to commit suicide. Mr.. Wood
demonstrated with him at first, then
succeeded in learning the whereabouts
of Professor Turner. Knowing, how.
ever, that Professor Turner was at the
Alexander house, he started for this
place. Reaching there. he excitedly
told his mission, and, with Fred Strick'
land, who had accompanied him, went
at once to the room occupied by Pro-
fessor Turner.
The door to the room was locked,
but, after a short delay, an entrance
was forced through a hall window.
Professor Turner was found lying face
downward on the floor. He was un-
conscious, and on the floor beside him
was an empty bottle which had con-
tanned morphine.
The ambulance from the Grady hos
pital was summoned and Professor
Turner was quickly removed to this
place. He received all the aid that
medical skill could oner and for time
it was believed that he had chance
to recover. The hope Of recovery was
based on the belief that he had taken
an overdose of the drug, probably 60
grains, but a few minutes before 3
o'clock there was a sudden change for
the worse, and he sank rapidly, dying
at S:55.

In Exciting Race Columbia Snatches
Second Victory From Shamrock.
A New York special says: The
Yankee Cup Defender, Columbia,
snatched her second victory from the
Shamrock II Thursday after following
in the wake of the foreigner for more
than two-thirds OF the course.
The finish was pyrotechnical, the
eyes Of thousands being trained upon
the contesting racers.
The Shamrock got away first by a
few seconds and maintained the lead
until after the second mark had been
turned, when the Columbia, pinchlng
her way inch by inch, caught up the
distance, passed her competitor and
sailed home the winner by three min
utes and thirty-fve seconds, the fastest
race ever sailed in a cup contest. II
was not only royal struggle from a
spectacular point Of view, hut it was
absolutely decisive as to the merits

COLLEGE GIRLS "KicK."
Color Line Drawn at Wellesley Over
Dauohter of Booker Washington.

Color Line Drawn at Wellesley Over
Daughter of Booker Washington.
A special from Boston, Mass, says:
Portla Washington, the daughter OF
Booker T. Washington, has just enter
ed as a student at Wellesley college.
She could not secure accommodations
in the college yard, and stories have
begun to circulate to the effect that
the other students had drawn the COL
or line, and, to save trouble, rooms
have been secured for her outside the
yard limits.
When It was first known that the
Washington girl expected to enter this
years. class at Wellesley one or two
girls from the south, in the hall
where it was expected that she would
be lodged, made some talk. Rooms
were secured for her with Mrs. Brio, on
Howe street. One Of the faculty, Pro.
fessor Keyes, rooms in the same house.
Across the street from Mrs. Brio's is
house occupied by three professors in
the college, Miss Conan, Miss Bates
and Miss Balch. The colored girl was
invited to take her meals with the col
lege professors, and 80 each day she
and Miss Keyes cross the street at
meal time. This kindness Of the pro-
fessors was seizen on by some as a
good basis on which to build weird
tale Of the Washington girl being ta-
ken under the sheltering wing of the
powers that be, as an example to the
other girls. However, from the first,
it was understood that this arrange
ment for room and board was only
temporary.

have an important influence on the po-
,itical future of the state. While SEN

co!onel Jcrcs have been very closely

port the suggestions Of the state
hartman.
Colonel Jones was an avowed candl'
,a.e fer the United States senate to
succeed AcLaur;n. He has long been
prominent in politics, and is man OF

REDUCTION OF DUTIES
Is Asked By Cubans In Mass
Meetings Assembled.
ALL CLASSES JOIN IN PLEA
Demonstrations All Over IsIand-An-
nexation Sentiment Strongly In
Eyieence-General Wood
Dissolves Convention.

According to special from Havana
a large demonstration OF bankers,
manufacturers, merchants and otnef
business men Of the Cuban capitai
waited upon General Wood at the pal
ace thursday afternoon and presented
to him a plea for the reduction OF ou-
ties on Cuban products on lines OF re-
ciprocity. It is estimated that between
10000 and $4,000 persons took part
in the demonstration.
Similar demonstrations occurred IN
other parts of the island. A genera
holiday was observed and telegrams
from Havana merchants were sent 70
Washington.
The annexation sentiment was
strongly in evidence in the demonstra-
ton. A letter formulated by numer.
GUS bankers indorsed the government
of Intervention, compllmented Genera
Wood and asked the United States 20
make Cuba's cause their cause.
Demonstration at Santiago
onward of 5000 men also Responded
to q call issued by the chamber OF COM
merce of Santiago to participate IN .
demonstration organized to present the
military governor a memorial urging q
reduction of duties on Cuban tobacco
and sugar.
All business was suspended during
the demonstration, which was the lafg-
est ever seen in the city. Lieutenant
Henry c.. Whitehead, Tenth United
States cavalry, who is Temporarily
representing the commander OF the ais
trict. wired the memorial to Governor
General Wood in Havana. Senor MAJ
cane, a leading lawyer, addressed an
immense crowd on the plaza, explain
ing the memorial. He asserted that
several sugar planters would be un-
able to grind next year and pay the
present wages unless the American ou-
ties were reduced.
The people of the island are coming
to understand that the Industrial con.
diticns depend upon Cuba's relations
with the United States, and the opin-
ion was generally expressed that
the demonstration was but the hrst
expression of sentiment which would
soon result in the formation Of strong
annexation party.
Large delegations from all parts OF
the province participated in the ae-
monstration.
Convention Is Dissolved.
Governor General Wood issued an
order Thursday moving formally dis
solving the constitutional convention,
with the understanding that If its ser
vices are again desired, he Will issue
the necessary call. The salaries ana
allowances, amounting to $4,000, ceas'
ed with the order.

OLD TREATY ABROGATED.
On Canal Question Great Britain Loses

On Canal Question Great Britain Loses
While We Gain All Disputed Points.
The Washington correspondent OF
The London Daily Chronicle gives the
alleged substance of a provisional ca
nal treaty abrogating the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty. Commenting editorlally
upon these advices, The Daily Chroni-
Gle says:
"Englishmen will be startled to
learn that we have abandoned our
rights under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
and surrendered every disputed point
without any compensation. The new
treaty is apparently another Instance
of Lord Salisbury's placid indifference
and Lord Lansdowne's impulsive gen.
eros.ty.
1T is said that President Roosevelt
will recommend its adoption to the
senate. Doubtless Great Britain will
agree to it. Although it gives us moth
ing at all. it will have the advantage
of getting rid of all our outstanding
grievances with the United States"

Rice Bird Season Is On.

E1lSS 0h VI SVaoStt - vie
Thousands Of rice birds are being
slaughtered daily in the fields around
Georgetown to supply the markets Of
the east. The season, which opened
auspiciously for the bird dealers. has
been profitable, and one firm IN
Georgetown has made the largest ship.
ments ever recorded IN this section.
Some time ago a dealer in Philadeh
phia offered to buy the entire output Of
the Georgetown dealer, regardless OF
price and the number Of birds shipped.
The Philadelphian said he could eas'
lily handle $4,000 dozen at once, which
gives a clear idea Of the enormous de-
mand for this toothsome dish. During
the past week the Charleston buyers
have had great difficulty in getti1A
birds, as the price has jumped from SO
cents to rs cents per dozen. But this
increase has not stopped the sale, ana
the city is feasting daily.
