THE HON. CLARK PAID LIND
SAY $1O0.
Tells Why Governor Smith and Wat
son Were Snubbed and ''Uncle
Lon" and Howell Were
Made the Heroes.



Editor Of the journal:
Some days ago you did he the
courtesy to publish my card to the
snub handed out to Mr.. Watson by
the officers Of the National Rural Mail
Carriers Association. Mr.. Lindsay
replied in a morning paper and at
tempted to dismiss the matter, not by
courteous reply, but by calling
names.
The writer has no personal feeling
In the matter, nor any desire to do
Mr.. Lindsay an injustice. About him
AS / private citizen, have nothing
to say; but about him as an officer
Of the carriers national convention,
I have the right to call in question
his official conduct.
The public attention was called to
three things:
/. That Lindsay purposely snub-
bed Mr.. Watson.
2. That he rode on passes.
3. That his mortgaging his home
in Tucker for 81 500 was absolutely
false.
To the proposition that Mr.. Thomas
E. Watson was purposely snubbcd by
Mr.. Lindsay, there is no need to call
any ones attention. To say that
man Of Lindsay's type can snub
great man like Watson is both ludi-
crous and ridiculous. Mr.. Watson,
however, says he was snubbed and the
people Of Georgia believe it. And
when you consider the fact that Clark
Howell and Lon Livingston were preS-
Snt, it is easy to understand why

Tucker.

1t was a beautiful story. It
touched their hearts and they re-
Spondcd with the sum of $4,000 And
when, during the recent convention
held in Atlanta, Mr.. Lindsay gave the
boys a barbecue at Tucker, it was
good to read Of how the men and wo-
men enjoyed seeing the "little home"
for which they had paid. The man
from New York and the man from
Wisconsin felt that they had done
their duty in helping to pay for Mr..
Lindsay's "little ho,ne.'' And had
that crowd Of R. F. D. men known
that the "httle home" at which they
gazed with pride was the property of
DR.. W. P. Cofer, of Snellville, Gwip-
nett county, Georgia, and that Mr..
Lindsay was paying ten dollars per
month for it, they doubtless would
have felt q growing sensation Of in
dignatioR at the unworthy deceptive
act Of their grating host and preGi-
dent.
Now 10 use Mr.. Lindsay g language,
il he will show that Clark Howell or
The Constitution did not pay his ex-
penses to Peoria, and that so far az
he is concerned, he did not ride on a
pass, then l will confess that he has
some ear-marks of a gentleman on
him. Again, if he will show that he
placed a mortgage Of $1,000 on his
little home, as the press, by his au-
thority, has published throughout the
country, then I, too, will say that he
is al honest man. If, also, he will
show that Clark Howell did not give
him 800 at or about the time Of the
recent convention, I will acknowledge
that he is too slick for an honest man
to catch.

The fire started on the fourth floor,
where the daub is mixed for dressing
leather, few minutes before o'clock,
after all of the employees had quit
work for the day
When the ffremen arrived the whole
floor appeared to be on fire, and it
looked as though the building would be
burned.
In a few minutes streams of water
from Engine Companies Nos 4, and
9 were thrown into the building, and
in short time the firemen had the
blaze under control. but it was an hour
later before they left the building.
How the fire started is not known,

JAIL SENTENCE
FOR AUTO
SPEEDING
Judge, Paroling Chauffeur,
Says Second Offense Will
Mean Worse Than Fine.

William e. Traphagen. of 81 Emmet
street, was released this morning by
Judge Howell after half of the 800 fine
imposed on the chauffeur who nearly
ran down William Baldwin, in Broad
street, near the City Hall yesterday
morning, was paid. Traphagen was
paroled in custody of his father, who
has agreed to pay the remainder of the
fino within month.
In paroling Traphagen, Judge Howell
told him that each and every one
brought before him and convicted of
violating the speed law with either an
automobile or a motor cycle would re-
ceive the very same penalty that he
received.
"You can go now and / will parole
you in the custody of your father
said Judge Howell. "Half of the fine
has been paid and the rest will be paid
within a month. If you ever come be-
fore me on a charge of this kind you
will receive a Jail sentence. The law
provides fine of 800 for a violation
of this law, but the next time you are
brought here you will go to jail"
Traphagen was left to languish in
the cell at the First Precinct Station
last night. Though a vigorous protest
was made to Sergeant Tracy at head
quarters yesterday morning about
Traphagen's arrest, no one appeared
yesterday to pay the fine until Trap
hagen's father heard of it last night.

STONES AUTO
BOY HIT. TAKES LAW INTO
HIS OWN HANDS.
Architect Stopped, Fearing Lad Was
Huft-His Feelings Were and
He Bombarded Car.

Benjamin F. Hurd, architect, who lives
at 81 North Ninth street, reported at the
Second Precinct police station yesterday
afternoon that he had the misfortune while
running his automobile through Summit
street, earlier in the day, to knock a boy
down, but fortunately he did not run over
him, he said
Mr.. Hurd said that he stopped his car
and went back to pick the boy up to take
him to a physician. as he feared he was
injured.
Instead of being bodily injured, he found
that he had only apparently aroused the
boys indignation, as the latter picked up
a big ztone and smashed an expensive
lamp in the front OF the automobile. the
boy gave further vent to his feelings by
hurling several more stones at the body OF
the machine.
Mr.. Hurd said that If he had tarried
much longer there would not have been
anything left of his auto except for the
junk dealer. He said he did not want to
make any complaint against the boy but
he wishes to let the police know who
owned the machine that had hit the boy, in
the event of the victim really having been
injured,

WOman's Screams in Hotel
Precede Death of John
Edwards.
EITHER MURDER ORSUICIDE
Companion Says He Swallowed
Morphine, but Police Suspect
She Gave Him Knockout
DrOps-.Man Employed in
Big New Ysrk Stere.

NEW YORK, Oct. A woman's
screams In the Criterion Hotel. Broad
way and Fortieth street, today, barred
the strange poisoning of John Edwards,
of 81 West Ninety-third street, who
died within a few minutes after he had
been taken to the New York Hospital.
The woman, Dollie Moore, young and
pretty, told the police that she was in
room at the hotel with Edwards
when he suddenlyswallowed a quantity
of morphine. She was locked up at
the Tenderloin police station on sus-
picion of having given Edwards
Knockout" drops.
After the woman, loudly protesting
her innocence, had been taken to
cell, the police tried to learn something
concerning Edwards. They found that
he had lived with his wife and 1S-year-
old daughter at 81 West Ninety third
street.
A brother of Edwards said he had not
been at his home for three days. He had
been in the habit of going away in this
manner, it was said, but he had never
been known to take morphine or opium.
He was employed in the book section of
a large department store.
Edwards registered at the Criterion
last evening as John Edwards" Larch-
mont. With him was Dollie Moore,
who, beyond telling the police that she
arrived in the city q few days ago, viii
reveal nothing concerning herself.
The pair are said to have ordered
numerous drinks which were brought to
them by hallboys. Then the woman
suddenly rushed from the room scream
ing.
Get help right away" she cried.
This man has swallowed poison"
DR.. Addison Sholes. of 149 West For
ty-third street, was summoned. He ad-
vised that Edwards be taken to a hos
pital and an ambulance from the New
York Hospital was called. At the Ten
derloin police station Dollie Moore said:
IT met this man on Broadway. He
asked me If wanted a drink, and I
went with him to the Criterion. When
we were together there he took a lot
of liquor. and then he asked me if I
had some opium. He said he could
not live unless he got hold of an opium
pipe.
II told him." she continued, that l
could not do anything for him. Then
he pulled a morphine pill from his
pocket. This win suit me-, he said.
and at the same time he swallowed it,"
Considerable mystery is thrown
around the womans story from the fact
that no morphine tablets were found
in Edwardss pockets. All he had was
$1S and a gun metal watch.

ROWE SAIL, To'BE SLATED.
Long Deferred Appointment as Market
clerk May Be Made by Council.

One of the first results of the har-
mony gathering last night at the JEFF
fersonian Club, when Democrats of all
variations of belief buried the hatchet,
1t is said will be the action of the
Democratic majority of the Common
Council tonight in selecting Thomas
F. r owe as market clerk, to succeed
the present Republican incumbent,
William r. Swan.
The Democratic aldermen favored
the appointment of Mr.. Rowe, with
the exception of Alderman Joseph A.
Wright. of the First Ward. The Re-
publican members were a unit for the
reappointment of the incumbent.
So many reports to the same effect
have been circulated that many politi-
cal oniookers will not feel reassured
until the appointment is made. How
ever, prominent Democrats today said
Rowe would be chosen.

EIopsd With His Young
Ward and Warrant Ont
for His Arrest.
FLEES WHEN RECOGNIZED
Got Employment as an Electti-
clans Helper From a Former
ParishiOner..Shaved Off His
Moastache and Tried to
Earn a Living.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.--ThA police of
the Long Island town of Hampstead
were greatly surprised today when
report reached them that Jere K. Cooke,
unfrocked pastor of st. Georges Church
in that place, who eloped with his ward,
Flofetta Whaley. had been working in
an iron foundry at Astoria all the time
he was being searched for on a war
rant charging him with abduction.
With his mustache shaved off and
dressed in overalls, Cooke is reported to
have obtained a position III the Hawkins
Iron Works, in Astoria, as an electri-
clans helper, and worked there for sew
eral months, until he was recognized by
friend. Floretta Whaley stood by him
and remained loyal while the clergyman
labored to keep them both. When he
was recognized he left the foundry, 1t
is said. and his present whereabouts is
not known.
Three days after the elopement,
which took place on May 1 last, the
warrant for Cookies arrest was issued.
and 1T is still in force. If the clergy
man is found anywhere in this State
he is liable to arrest.
According to the report, Cooke found
himself and the girl destitute a. few
days after the elopement and decided
to throw himself on the mercy of Frank
B. Hawkins, one of his parishioners
and the owner o. the iron works. It
is said that Hawkins agreed to keep
secret the fact that the clergyman
was in the State and put him to work
as an eectrician's helper. Cooke had
been in the factory few weeks when
Charles Kerr, of 3157 Broadway, en-
ployed in the iron factory, recognized
him and spread the news among
friends.
It was only few weeks ago that a
report came from Montreal saying that
the whaley girl had been deserted by
Cooke and was seriously i'll. This re-
port is said to have been circulated by
friends Of the former clergyman to
throw mis- pursuers eff the track.
Cooke gave up his position in the
church and deserted his wife to elope
with the Whaley girl. She had been
left i'll his care by her father at his
death and will inherit a considerable
fortune when she becomes of age.
For weeks the search for the couple
was kept up vigorously, and many mis-
leading clues were run to earth. At
times they were reported to be in
various New York State towns. and at
one time deputy sheriffs Travelled all
the way to Newburg on false clue.
If is believed that Cooke has received
some support from friends at various
times

MIR. KNUDSEN'S
LECTURE At PAVILION

Mr. Knudsen spoke last night to
very attentive gathering on three very
interesting phases of the worlds re-
ligion-Sikhism, the religion of the
Punjab, full of the highest devotion to
Gods will; Jainism, the religion of per-
lection, in that it claims man to be
perfectable in the highest degree; 70
roastrianism, the fire worship, came
last, but was most interesting. This is
the religion of the Parsees. who mix
a very keen knowledge of business with
the highest and most scrupulous purity
and harmIessness of thought, word and
deed.
Mr.. Knudsen's next lecture will be
his last in this series and should be at
tended by all who have an interest In
the modern aspects of religious thought
and the tendencies that are now point
ing TO the future, in which certitude
will have more weight than belief.
