nounced that Edwin II. Gould offers
$4,000 as a prize to the man who
shall first produce the first aeroplane
successfully employing two motors
and two propellers.
MIR. Gould's Offer" explained Mr..
walker, while the diners cheered his
words, calls for an aeroplane which
shall fly successfully with either two
motors or two propellers. His idea is
that the air craft should have re-
serve power, just as steamship or cleo
trio train. If one motor on a train
gives out, another can DE utilized. So.
thinks Mr.. Gould. 1t should be with an
airship."
The announcement of Mr.. Gould's
prize followed right after an offer of
permanent silver trophy for anna
trur aviators by the Evening World.
Mr.. Curtiss made a brief speech. So
did Clifford b. Harmon and Lieuten-
ant Professor Humphreys, United
States Army, who has made expert
ments with an aeroplane for the army
during the past year esaid that the
airship's usefulness to the military

MEMORIAL SERVICE To

During the recent session of the

is to be raised in Hollywood Cemetery,
in Richm ond, Va. In his address Dr.
Straton said in part:
It was that victory made possible
by the leadership of J. y. Hawthorne
more, perhaps, than any other human
agency, which first put hope and heart
into the temperance forces of the
South, which started that irresistible
tide Of prohibition sentiment which
has swept Georgia and most of her
sister Southern States into the dry
column and which will never subside
now, please God, until not one foot of
DiXie's beloved soil is blighted. desc
Grated and disgraced by an open sa-
loom
Those who saw him in that notable
campaign for prohibition in Atlanta
away back in the eighties, can never
forget that example of his public SER
vices The forces of iniQuity were in
trenched and insolent. The liquor
power thought that their position was
secure, and that their infamous in
nuences could move on unhindered
until they had completely enslaved
the growing young giant Of the new
South. No one dared raise a hand
against them. No heart was bold
enough to hope that they might be
OVerthroWn. The situation was ac-
copied as remedyless until this faith
full and fearless warrior Of Christ be-
gan to thunder from the pulpit of the
old First Baptist Church He rang
out a clarion call to all who loved
God and their city He aroused the
public conscience. He stirred the fires
of hope. He counseled against all
compromise. He called for war to
the death. And with the knightly
form of Henry Grady standing by
his side he battled, like Henry of
Navarro, with the white plume in
the forefront Of the fight, until the
whole city was aroused and organized
for the final strife. And when at last
the fateful day ended and the smoke
Of battle lifted il was found. to the
JOY of all good men, that Atlanta, the
Queen City of the South, had won the
fight for righteousness.
Our Southern BaptistS are loyal to
their heroes. AS the roll is called and

selves today In honoring his noble

CAR AFLAME, WOMEN LEAP;
BLIND PASTORS WIFE HURT

NEW HAVEN, CONN.-Special-
women were injured severely here this
afternoon when a trolley car Of the
connecticut Company, coming from
North Haven, burst into flames in Grand
Avenue. The women, in a panic, jumped
or fell into the street.
Mrs. Z. i. Aver, wife of the Rev E
=. Aver the blind pastor of a North
Haven church, was brining her husband
to the city to call on friends, and when
the flames covered one side of the car
she fell to the pavement. The car was
stopped and Mr.. Aver CROPPED about
seeking his Wife, asking many in the
crowd where she was. When he learn
ed that she had been carried to the hos
pital badly injured his grief was pa
theuc. and he followed her there. To-
day 1t was reported that Mrs. Aver
probably would recover.
The other persons severely injured

was seen on Sunday by Mr.. Robert
l. Carne, OF the Washington Times.
The whole theory OF the case and the
attempt TO prove where the accused
were at the alleged time OF murder
proceeded upon the idea that the
murder took place on Saturday night.
the 9th instant. between and s
o'clock. and this was Smiths testi-
mOny. To these facts must be added
the statement OF a conductor on the
Southern Railway. that he saw the
body lying In the snow at 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. and of lady on
the eelctric car, who testified to the
same fact. 1t is true that some boys
hunting on the ground Saturday say
they did not see the body, and that
animation, but in view of the facts,
and leaving out the testimony OF
Smith, il is difficult to reach the con-
clusion that the murder took place
on Saturday night and at the place
where the body was found and where
Smith said it occurred.
Smith Perjurer.
But without going further into the
evidence, il is admitted by all con-
neCted with the case, as L understand
the facts. that without the testimony
of Smith there could have been no
conviction. And yet Smith has since
the conviction of Dorsey. Johnson and
Pines declared that his testimony
against them was false and that they
were innocent of the crime of which
they were convicted, and he went to
the chair protesting their innocence
and his own.
1t is believed by everyone connected
with the case that Smith was guilty of
the murder, but he was a confessed per-
turer, and the Judge in sentencing him
declared that he was a perjurer, and no
human geing can tell whether he told
the truth first or last: and this is the
condition which ccnfrOnts my con
science and involves the lives OF three
men. If all these facts had been before
less difficulty in reaching a conclusion:
but they were not, and after the most
careful thought L am in such a frame
of mind that while l do not think the
prisoners are entitled to pardon, L do
not think 1t just TO them, who are poor
negroes, or to the Commonwealth,
which only desires to punish those GER
tainly guilty, to permit them to be cleo
| trocuted and thus put correction of any
mistake which may have been made out
of the power of the State IL the myS-
terry, which now surrounds the murder
of Schultz, shall ever be cleared up.
Holding these views, and desiring TO
give as much force and effect to the
verdicts Of the jurieS and the decisions
of the court, as may be consistent with
! them, in execution OF the power con-
ferred on me by the Constitution of the
State, TO grant pardon and Communication
after conviction, I have commuted the
sentences of Dorsey, Johnson and Pines
to Imprisonment for life.

Tornado Destroys Wires.

ROME.-Special.- the result of
a tornado which swept Sardinia We'd
nesday, the wires into the interior are
down today and communication is
greatly crippled.
From the meagre reports received
here, however, it is certain that the
damage will exceed 100000. 1t is
declared that several persons were
killed. Advices from Cagliari say that
refugees arriving there confirm the
reports of terrific havoc done to grain
fields, orchards and vineyards
Houses, blown down, imprisoned their
occupants, several persons being
crushed to death
Relief parties have been sent out to
succor the sheep herders in the noun
tains, but ii is believed that most OF
them could not survive the tornado.
