Objectionable Text Books.

Austin, Tex, August 20.-Com-
plant has been made to the State
text book board by Confederate
camps over the State that the gram
mar which was adopted for public
schools of the State contains sever
al lines of what is termed the Nor
thern war song, Barbara Frietchie,
by John Greenleaf Whittier. The
board will ask the Northern pub
fishers of this text book to eliminate
the Objectionable lines.
A short time ago the arithmetic
adopted by the board had to be
amended by eliminating several
problems in which the generals in
the Union army were named in
way that was considered as reflect
ing upon the South.

Riot Among Regulars.

Atlanta, Aug. 19.-Police reserves
were called to the terminal station
to quell riot that broke out among
the companies of United States regu-
lars en- route from Fort Slocum to
the Pacific coast. When the local
police officers were unable to curb
the soldiers call was made upon
Fort Mcpherson for troops and Capt.
Bankhead with a company of regu-
lars responded hurriedly.
The trouble started early in the
afternoon, when a number Of the
soldiers en- route to the Far East
broke out of their cars, which were
on the side track at the terminal
station and, it is said, began annoy
ing passengers entering trains. Of
fieer Hill of the local police force
knocked two of the soldiers down
and then the trouble became gener-
raj. Col. Thompson of the Gulf de-
partment was notified and respond
ed and later Fort Mcpherson was
called upon.
During the fighting a soldier nam
ed Frank Smith was seriously stab
bed and is now in local hospital.
Joseph Bleak, another soldier, was
placed under arrest.
At $50 the officers had the men
under control and under guard in
their cars and it Is believed the
guard is sufficient to prevent fur
ther toruble.
The widest excitement prevailed
at the terminal station during the
rint and many women became hYs-
terical.

Third Receiver Desired.

Union, Aug. 19.-To-day B. F.
Townsend, an attorney for a large
number of the stockholders and de-
positors of the Peoples bank, which
went into voluntary liquidation on
August 4, and for which Judge Hy-
drick appointed as receivers B. +.
Arthur and W. H. Gist, will 60 De-
fore Judge Hydrick and ask that II.
B. O'Shields be appointed as addi-
tional coreceiver.
This action was taken last week
as the result of a number OF those
directly interested being dissatisfied
with Judge Hydrick's first order, as
B. F. Arthur was president OF the
Peoples bank at the time OF its 60
ing into liquidation, and Mr.. Gist
cashier of the Bank Of Carlisle.

MAY PAY A BIG FINE.
Disclosure Proved Sensa-
ton of the Day.

Chicago, August 20.-The story
printed yesterday telling of an at
tempt to smuggle $4,000 worth of
art objects into America by Mrs.
Emily Crane Chadbourne, for MRS.
Jack" Gardner, OF Boston, proved
the sensation Of the day in Chicago.
All day long Mrs. Chadbourne was
kept in seclusion by her brother-in-
law E.. A. Russell, in Lake Forest.
She was in the house most of the
day, but in the afternoon took a
long automobile ride. She denied
herself to all callers and her friends
and relatives, with the exception of
her father, R. T. Crane, declined abb
solutely to comment on the case in
any way.
In Boston MRS. Jack" Gardner
ives equally invisible until late at
night, when she consented to talk
for publication. She denounced the
customs officials, declared she did
not know Mrs. Chadbourne was go
ing to bring the things to America,
and by inference declared she was
not in any way responsible for the
plight in which Mrs. Chadbourne
finds herself.
A different view of the matter is
taken by the relatives of Mrs. Chad
bourne. The $70,409.18 exacted by
the treasury department as duty and
penalty was produced by the rela-
tives. It Is not at all likely how
ever, that Mrs. Gardner will be per-
mitted to evade payment Of this sum
and should the government impose
further possible penalty of eighty
thousand dollars, Mrs. Gardner, also
will be forced to settle the little
account.
81 don't believe it," said Mrs.
Gardner in Boston last night. 'They
would not dare to 60 as far as that,
when told that the authorities had
seized the entire lot of art treasures
imported by. her friend, Mrs. Chad.
bourne.
81 thought the whole matter was
settled, and had no idea it was to
become public like this. Why didn't
that customs man, who came to see
me ten days ago, send me word first
before giving it out like that story
yesterday"
"Any way I don't believe it. The
customs department has always per-
secuted me, and I have paid thous-
ands of dollars duty upon objects OF
art, as result of their impositions. "
Still affected by the surprise he
received from reading the account
of his daughters entanglements and
overwhelmed with demands for an
explanation, as to who paid the $70,-
600 to the customs officers, r. T.
Crane, at his summer home at Lake
Geneva, declared statement that
was telephoned to his Chicago home,
and was given out by his secretary.
Later it was said that it had been
prepared in haste, and that as a
matter of fact, the man knew little
about Mrs. Gardner's art treasures
and nothing about Mrs. Chad
bourne's part in the bringing OF
them to this country until the story
came out yesterday morning.

Commits Suicide in Hotel.

Asheville, N. c., Aug. 19.-Leav-

into her brain early this morning
and ended her life. The deceased,
who came to Asheville three weeks
ago, had been in poor health for
many years. The suicide was not

ing, when her husband arrived on
a morning train. He found his wife

Tobacco Runs Woman Crazy.

New York, Aug. ia piece OF
chewing tobacco inserted in the hol-s
low of tooth helped to send MARY
Lewis to the Psychopathic ward at
Bellevue last week and to bring her
before a city magistrate yesterday
on the technical charge Of insanity;
There her mental condition Was
passed upon and her released order
ed. ~ e
The patient had never been ,ad-
dicted to the use of tobacco until
two weeks ago, when one Of her
teeth in her lower left jaw began to-
ache, and she was advised to buy a.
plug of tobacco, bite OF a generous:
portion and hold it In her mouth
She did 80, and within three DAYS
she had acquired the habit. :
The ache disappeared, but as IT
went away Mary heard strange:
voices. A graphophone with stri-
dent voice called upon her to be
good, and a troup Of children, all
in white and numbering millions.
sangs songs and recited verses until
she became unable to sleep. She.
kept on chewing tobacco, and the
more she chewed the louder became
the tones of the graphophone.
Into such condition did she drift
that it was deemed advisable to have
her undergo an examination in the
psychopathic ward of Bellevue,
where her case was diagnosed as
one of acute mania, with the use OF
tobacco as the exciting and the prin-3
cipal contributing cause. The grad
ual deprivation of the tobacco re-
suited in restoring her to a nearly
normal mental condition.
