SMART ALEXIS MATCH
STARTS EXCITING BLAZE

You never can tell what a fool will do
next" said Chief Cummings, Of the At
lanta fire department, when he got
through putting out fire In the base
ment of the Southern hotel on South
Pryor street, Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
The fire was confined to where 1t start
ed under the grating near the entrance
on South Pryor street. II was started
by delivery boy who broke a bottle
of gasoline all to pieces by letting 1t
fall TO the sidewalk. He was abetted
by curious one with match.
When the pungent odor of gasoline
made itself smelt, crowd soon gathered;
and everyone wondered how IL all hap
pened. And to put a little light on the
subject, smart aleck struck match.
The GASOLINE blazed up and down into
the cellar In a second.
An alarm of fire was turned In from
the nearest box on Wall street, and sure
enough there was some real excitement.
Fire engines came from every direction
and 1t took two chmicals to quench the
blaze. The New Kimball across the
street had every window open In min
ute, to say nothing of the many excited
guests in the Southern hotel.

16-YEAR-O LD-BOY HELD
FOR MURDER OF WOMAN
Walter ArrendaIe, of 145
Randolph Street, Under Sus-
picion in Douglas Case

cts a 16-year-old boy guilty of one of
the most atrocious crimes committed In
Atlanta in several years?' That is the
question that is being whispered around
police headquarters since Walter Arren-
dale, pleasant-faced boy of las Ran
dolph street, was docketed as a suspi-
cious person and landed in state
cell"
Young Arrendale was arrested on Fri
| day morning by officers Rosser and
Clarke, who with officer Coker, have
been detailed on the Douglass murder
mystery for the past week. The officers
do not wish to make public, as yet, the
evidence upon which they are holding
| the youth, but admit that he is a sus-
pect in the murder case. They state,
however, that the evidence in the case
Is by no means conclusive, and while the
youth will not be released for several
days, in all probability he will never be
brought to trial, but for the present
the officers sayJthat they have enough
against him to hold him.
Arrendale, who looks like a school boy,
Is apparently not disturbed by his pre-
dicament.
You know they say 1 killed Mrs.
Douglass" he remarked to Journal re-
porter, but they haven't a thing against
me- and they will have to turn me
aloose whenever can get them to try
the case. The only evidence is some
thing another fellow says he heard me
say, and he is a Hartley say Mrs.
Douglass had over $500 stolen from her
by the murderer. Well had 10 cents on
me when ] was arrested, and that 8
about all have anywhere"
The crime for which the youth is held
was extremely brutal Mrs. Sallie Doug
i lass. of 401 Highland avenue, went out
/ into the back lot to milk her cow last
SATURDAY.. about dusk. When she failed
to return her brother, A. A. Garner, went
in search for her and found her dead In
the COW lot. The woman, who was over
30 years of age, had been killed by a
blunt instrument, and a large sum of
money, which she was carrying, stolen
| from her.
The officers working on the case have
made a number of arrests in the case,
but with the single exception of young
| Arrendale, the suspects have been re-
/ leased upon examination.
| Arendale lives with his parents at lbs
Randolph street, which is within few
blocks of the scene of the murder.

COST OF SOUL SAVING
IS BROUGHT UP AGAIN
MethodistS Collect $4,000,
Save 600 Baptists, $780,
980.03; Save 1907

The Methodists or Atlanta during
this year have collected 100000 and
have received 500 new members by
profession OF faith. The Baptists
have raised S1Ss,sSO.0S and have re-
ceived altogether 1907 new members.
Both by certificate and profession of
faith the Methodist churches have re-
ceived 300 new members and have
had a net increase OF 1000 in mem
bership.
There was a good deal of discussion
severat-years ago in newspapers in
New York and other cities concerning
the cost to- the church of the work of
salvation. 1t was started in Atlanta
by a minister whose pastorate was
here giving his estimate at a minis
ters' meeting of how much it costs to
save a soul. Some mathematical per-
sons became interested in the matter
and figured out to a fraction of a cent
the cost of salvation.
In view OF statements OF money col
lected and new members received dur
ing this year that both Baptist and
Methodist churches have prepared and
presented in reports to the recent con-
ferences at Elberton and at Athens,
the question was yesterday suggested
to DIR. Joel L. Dawes, presiding elder
Tor the
He said that such computation Is
out OF the question. He believes that
the church spends its money as much
to maintain Christianity as to convert
individuals and that its expenditures
are not to be considered as devoted
entirely to individual salvation.
The money collected by the Meth
odist and Baptist churches of Atlanta
and the number of individuals con-
verted give a result, when compared,
that is altogether different from the
conclusion that the mathematicians or
several years ago arrived at.
In their estimation, the usual soul
that is saved by the church and doesn't
for the most part save itself cost the
church only a few dollars.
In the Baptist churches there were
500 actual conversions and $4,000
collected. This would make each con-
version cost over two hundred dollars.
Most of the money collected by the
churches is paid out in preachers sal
aries.
There are now 1880 members OF
the Methodist churches of Atlanta.
The value or the church property in
Atlanta is $1.25O,Oo0.
The Baptists have 500 churches in
Georgia and as in Atlanta They have
1887 members in Atlanta and 10000
in Georgia

MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 26-The Registers
aviation meeting closed here this after
noon and the melting proved a success In
every way. But three flights were MADE
during the afternoon, all by J. A. d. Nc
Curdy. In one flight McCurdy attempted
to demonstrate the use of an aero
plane during war times in hurting bombs
into an enemys ship. With his bi-plane
travelling at the rate of 60 miles an hour
during one fight, he carried a basket
containing a number of oranges.
He passed four times at an average
height of 100 feet over two pieces of can

which, about Is feet apart represents

BOY TOOK SISTERS CASH,
THEN YELLED BURGLAR"
Rushed Into Roome With {
Bleeding Arm and Cried
Robbery

To cover his tracks after he had stolen
$50 from a Woodworking sister. Ed With
ers, a young married man, machinist
deliberately shot himself in the arm,
infiicting serious flesh wound, and then
announced to members of his family that
he had been shot by a negro burglar,
according to a report which reached po-
lice headquarters on Saturday night
Great excitement was created in the
neighborhood by the supposed burglar
SO it is stated, and officers from police
headquarters were called to the house
to investigate the case. The shrewd-
ness of the officers proved the undoing
of young Withers, who on their vigorous
cross-examination is said to have admit
ted shooting himself and taking the
money, No case was made against the
young man at the request of members
of the family and the prosecution was
not pushed by the officers as they con-
sidered that Withers had been sufficient
ly punished.
RUSHED IN CRYING BURGLAR.
According to the information obtained.
Ed Withers, who was in one of the rear
rooms of the house of his father, John
Withers, 9S Emmett street, startled the
members Of the family about o'clock
Saturday morning, when he rushed into
the front of the house, his arm bleeding
profusely from the bullet wound, and
announced that the house had just been
burglarized by a negro, who had shot
him after forcing him to disclose the
hiding place of his sisters savings.
He described the negro thief graphical
ly, so 1t is said, declaring that the bold
robber was a tall, yellow negro, with a
bristly mustache and wearing a soft felt
hat. He told the direction in which the
burglar had gone, and he with mem
bers of the family rushed to the street
in an effort to locate the fleeing thief"
Neighbors came to the assistance of the
family, and 1t Is stated one or two ne
groes were held by citizens until the
young man reached them and failed to
identify them.
When the first excitement was over the
supposed burglar and attempted murder
had subsided, DR.. G. Y. Pierce, alderman
from the Third ward, and the Withers
family physician, was called in, and he
dressed the young mans wound, pro-
nouncing it not serious, but necessarily
painful
1t was not until 1:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon that Officers Black and Davis
from police headquarters were detailed
on the case. They reached the house and
Immediately started an investigation.
