YOUNG WOMAN IS
FOUND MURDERED
Miss Matte Graham Is Discovered
Dead With Jugular Vein Sever
ed With Dull instrumental Prom
inently Connected.

FITZGERALD, Ca, Aug. 19-Thc
most atrocious murder that has eveI
been committed in this section of Geor-
gia was perpetrated sometime yesterday
at Hokesboro. just over the line of Cof-
fee county, when Miss Matte Graham
a highly respected young woman, was
killed by having her jugular vein cut
through with some sort of a JUL In
strument.
Miss Graham lived with her tive
sisters on the old Graham plantation
near Hokesboro and is a direct descend
ant of one of the oldest and most
prominent families OF south Georgia
The family had. vase in court which
was to be tried at the next tsrnT and
the murdered woman had sent woro 70
several of her witnesses to call at the
house yesterday to talk over the case.
When they arrived at the house during
the afternoon she was missing and her
sisters said that she had not been there
since in the morning and that they did
not know where she was.
A search was made and the body
found.
Something crooked was suspected at
once, and one of the party began to ques-
ton VIII Mcleod, young man who had
been running the farm for the Graham
girls. u dtlCBCu W nave S0AN ~
Merritt that he knew where she was, but
that they would find her dead when they
found her He further stated that "of
course, II does not matter to me. but l
will work for you, Mr.. Merritt, for II
months If you will get me out of the
trouble"
1t was night when Mcleod is alleged
to have made this statement, and the par
ty waited until early this morning when
they went back to the house aud got
Mcleod to lead them to the place where
the body was. They found 1t alongside
creek, about three miles from where she
lived, and the throat had been horribly
mutilated and other marks on the body
showed that a struggle had gone on.
The coroner of Coffee county was at
once summoned, and Mr.. Hawkins, one of
the searching parties and a farmer,
placed Mcleod under arrest on suspi-
cion until the authorities could be notl-
fed.
The crime has stirred up that section
to a fever heat.
The only reason for the act being COM
mitted by Mcleod, If he did it, is that it
was known that he was Jealous of the
attentions that another young man was
paying to Miss Graham.
Miss Graham, as we'll as her sisters,
is reputed to be quite wealthy, but it
is not thought that it was on account of
the money that she was killed.

No divorce suit in Georgia, and few In
the south. ever bestirred such broad or
dra matic interest as that filed Wednesday
AGAINST Maj. ]. F. Hanson, railroad presi-
dent. mill owner, capitalist and soclai
leader.
Major Hanson is recognized as being
among the forefront Of American finan-
ciers. Wherever railroad runs his name
has its spell. He is as much at home In
the office of Wall street bankers as In ms
priyate car on the siding Of the Terminal
station.
When Hartman acquired control or the
Central of Georgia railroad, 1t was pre-
dtcted that Major Hanson would be re-
tired from it's presidency and succeeded
by John NJ. Egan, who formerly held tha'
position. But the major Is stlll at the
head of the Central and in view OF the
recent financial report Of that line ne Is
presumably giving satisfaction.
HANSON MOVES TO ATLANTA.
About a year ago Major Hanson moved
his .oflctal headquarters and residence
from Macon to Atlanta. Since then he
has been as prominent in social afralrs
here as in the national business world
His personality, in fact, combines buu
dog determination which has forged his
way frontward in commerce, and a gra-
ciousness which has made him in society
a leader.
In the cotton manufacturing industry
in Georgia Major hanson was pioneer.
In the days when milling was consid-
cred a venture in this state he took hold
of the Bibb Manufacturing company
located at Macon and has built 1T into
one of the most profitable corporations
in. the south.
Until the past five or six years he
was a dominant force in the Repubn-
can party in Georgia and was at one
time notably mentioned as cabinet
appointee under Mckinley's admins
tration. He is now about IS years old.
OF a commanding presence, he attracts
attention in any group of men, no mat
ter how distinguished their station
may be- When -. II. Hartman visited
Atlanta last spring. and was being
Driven over the city In an automobile,
Major Hanson seated in the car be-
side him, numbers ot people along the
way thought that the major was the
great railroad wizard of whom they
had read and not the man or small
stature with him. The instance was
typical. He began life on a farm near
Griffin, entered business at Macon
when he was still a boy and is now or
national force and repute.

Cadets Are Dismissed
So as to Stop Hazing

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.--The action
of President Taft and Secretary Dick
inson in directing the dismissal Of the
seven cadets at West Point, convicted
of hazing Cadet Sutton, is accepted ny
the officers of the army and the civil
officials of that department as clear
indication of the purpose of the admin
istration to fully support Colonel Scott,
the superintendent of the United States
Military Academy, In his effort to Grad.
icate the practice of hazii.g in all its
phases from student life at the acad-
envy.
When it first became known that evi-
dence of hazing had been found in the
investigation of the Sutton case, and that
seven cadets had been convicted of that
offense by an army board, pressure was
brought to bear on the president and sec
rotary of war for leniency. While 1t was
admitted by the friends of the accused
that they should be punished, 1t was
argued that their offense was but boy
ish prank and not sufficiently serious to
subject them to the odium Of dismissal
from the service at the very outset Of
their careers.
That these appeals were Intellectual is
accepted as a demonstration that the
president means to follow the Letter Of
the law bearing on such cases by impos-
ing the penalty of dismissal
