Many Atlantians Were Easy Marks
for the mind Readers" Old Trick.
The police of Atlanta are anxious
to locate Professor" Frank West,
alias Prof. May, alleged palmist, me-
dunn and mind reader, against whom
charges of theft have been filed by
several persons.
He is alleged to have prevailed
upon his subjects to hand over to him
articles of jewelry, money, etc., to
be placed in bag fastened around
their necks and worn until such time
as he might direct
Following Vests disappearance
from the city several of his subjects
opened the "conjure" bags, and to
their dismay instead of finding the
articles or cash which they were led
to believe the professor" had placed
therein they found wads of paper,
etc. One victim, Levi Armstrong,
claims that he lost three 500 bills
by this process, while Mrs. Jessie
Haley says that West robbed her OF
two diamond rings and a diamond
brooch valued at 5000. Another wo-
man alleges that West treated" her
at her residence, and as a result a
lot of SilverWare is missing.

In the smaller cities there is more
charity, the helping hand is extend
ed by neighbors, but in the large
cities the poor and friendless are
numbered by the hundred thousand.
Relief organizations are doing their
utmost, but they are unable to cope
with situation of this magnitude.
Men are committing crimes to get
into jail and be fed at public ex-
pense. The nations wealthy men
have been liberal contributors, but
the demands are so vast that they
cannot be met.
The most pitiful sights of London
are the constant bread lines. Men,
women and children will stand in
line for hours to get a bit of stale
bread from the bakeries. Thousands
are turned away disappointed and
forced to salvage among garbage
heaps for scraps and remnants of
food scorned even by dogs.
Before one of the big bakeries
nightly may be seen hundreds of
persons so faint with hunger as to
be barely able to stand, many of
whom have been there all day to
hold the choice places with the better
prospect of getting food.
The situation is such as to make
for anarchy Radical speakers have
stirred the people to such an extent
that there is danger of an uprising.
These speeches have had their eff
feet in individual crimes and in out
breaks by small mobs. The anger of
the people is growing, however, and
it would not be well for the govern
ment to delay relief measures much
longer.

By Agnes Repplier.
What does the Red Cross
Christmas stamp mean?
1t means that you are asked to
spend one cent more on every
Christmas present that you send.
1t means that this tiny fraction
of money, multiplied by thou
sands, will yield a noble sum for
the maintenance of a great work
open air day camps for the
cure of tuberculosis.
1t means that you extend the
circle of your friendship until it
embraces the friendless, and that
your good will reaches beyond
the few whom you love to the
many whom you are hidden to
love.
1t means that the spirit of
Christmas stirs in the heart of
Christendom, and that you re-
spond to this spirit by linking
your Christmas gifts with the
cause of the poor and the i'll,
with the work of wisdom and of
mercy.

No Effort to Build City Where 20
600 Persons Persisted.

900 PERSONS Persisted.
1t is now seven years and seven
months since Mont Pelee woke from
its sleep of centuries and by a single
explosion destroyed the city of St.
Pierre, killing all its $4,000 inhabi-
tants except one,' and of it's stone
buildings leaving standing only few
shattered walls.
There has been no effort to re-
build. The city is today what it was
the day after the explosion. The
mountain has recovered it's former
condition of quiet, but the people are
afraid of it. The tropical jungle is
gradually establishing itself on the
deserted area.
Eminent authorities believe that in
time there will be new town on the
old site, for the situation demands it.
but it may never be as large as the
old one. A new st. Pierre would be
in less danger than the old one even
should the mountain again erupt
Formerly the crater was so shaped
that when an explosion occurred the
full charge was sent with fatal ac-
curacy directly upon the city. Now
the force would be very much divided
and the town would have a good
chance of escaping entirely.

BIC TIE MILL TO
START AUGUST 10

On August Is the biggest tie mill
in the world will be put in operation
in Puma by the Hawaiian Mahogany
Company, mill with capacity of
one hundred thousand feet day. The
machinery is now all on the ground
and being placed and everything will
be in shape to start the circular saws
by the middle of next month.
This mill has a guaranteed capacity
of $500 ties a day, but the operators
expect to saw at least 5000 day, each
tie having board measurement lof
thirty-two feet.
"This mill reminds one more of the
Puunene sugar mill than anything
else" says r. w. Shingle, who has
recently returned from the scene of the
numbering activity. "The logs are
taken in on conveyers, just as the cane
is dragged in to the crusher. Then
they are fed automatically to the four
big circular saws, while there are a
host of smaller saws going, getting out
lumber and utilizing the waste in other
ways, while the planks, bark and saw.
dust are taken their separate ways an |
the ties carried by conveyers direct to
| the ears.
"We will have our first cargo of
100000 ties ready forty five days after
we get the mill started up, and will
ship at any rate before October 1.
"We have temporarily held up all
the koa operations. The tie contract
is of such magnitude that we have
had to turn all our attention to that.
just as soon as we get the tie out
and it is inspected, it is marked with
the Sante Fe stamp and then it is the
same as cash to us. With the koa we
have to 90 through lot of preparatory
work, cutting, drying and preparing be,
fore we can put it on the market.
| When we have our tie mill well under
wav and can see where the contract is
going to place us, we will then turn
again and put that product on the mar.

which TO cut sample fitches, we have
not had any men at work in getting
out any mahogany.
Everything is going ahead most
satisfactorily. Tho work Sam johnson
has been doing since he took hold has
had La telling effect and things are NOV
ing ahead as they should. We knew
that this is what would happen and on
that account we made the effort to
secure Johnson's services. A man who
could do the work he. did on the roads
here, with all the political ends ia
hamper him, ought to make a showing
when he has clear hand for a private
concern, and he has,

THIEVES COMMIT ACTS
OF RANK VANDALISM

The men who entered and robbed thes'

occupied by DIR. Norris and his wife,
who, when they left for Europe two
months ago, rented it furnished, to Mr.,

are in EIlo his clerk, Mr. Burnett has.
been sleeping there.
He returned home on the eight

ing at the door found it open. He
attempted to light the hall light BUT.
it failed to light, so he returned to TN
veranda and lighted one there. tn
open door showed table at the en-
trance with two chairs and four copies
of New York publication which the
robbers had evidently been reading. He

gether they went back to the Lille
house and found everything in dis
order.
Trunks had been opened by smash
ing the lids with an axe. A hat had.
the crown. cut out and leather peg
manteaus were slashed with k
and the contents scattered around
house. Mr.. Burnett had cigars

of them being found on the top o

Nothing that could be damaged
