ATLANTA SEES A
BIC FAMILY ROW
DIVORCE SUIT BRINGS OUT
SOME VERY INTERESTING
DEVELOPMENT
Ira DeLamater Sues His Father-in-
Law 5rother-n-Law and Two Sis
ters -in-LaW For Alienation of His
Wife's Affections.

Atlanta, May 1S.-The filing by Ira
DeLanater of a damage suit for $50.
0O0 for the alienation of his wife 5
affections, in which his father-in- law
his brCther-in-law, and his two sisters
-inlaw are named as defendants,
marks the elimination of d series of
domestic troubles.
The petition sets forth that ever
since DeLamater'S marriage in 1900 to
Miss May Goldsmith, the defendants
have been conspiring against his hap
piness, and that finally by artiful prac-
tees and devices they succeeded in
inducing her to file suit for divorce,
Immediately after which she took her
five children from his house and has
never been back.
]. II. Goldsmith, Lawrence James,
MIS-. Hattie Collier and Mrs. Bessie
James are the defendants
A few weeks ago, following several
unpleasant passages, DeLamaters
brother-in-law, Lawrence James, had
him arrested on a peace warrant in
which he alleged that DeLamater had
several times called him up over the
telephone and threatened to kill him
on sight.
In her divorce petition, Mrs. Della
mater charged habitual drunkenness
neglect, cruel treatment, and Other
I statutory grounds for divorce.
Some months ago, DeLamater, while
in a drunken condition, went to his
; home and shutting himself up in 1
room with two children and their ma
ternal grandmother swore that he was
going to kill them all. The police
came In answer to a hasty summons

ONLY LARGE CITIES MAY
ENTERTAIN THE KNIGHTS

movement developed yesterday
among a number of the delegates to
the Grand Lodge, to pass resolutions
providing that hereafter meetings Cf
the Grand Lodge be held in cities
which have a population of $4,000 Or
more. The argument is advanced
that often the convention is carried
to city Of ten or twelve thousand
population and it is impossible to ac-
commodate all of the visitors. BY
making it law to hold the convention
in a city of $4,000 or more the Knights
argue that there would never be any
danger of visitors fanfng to secure
quarters and that such a move would
increase the attendance. If this
change is made only a few cities in
Georgia will entertain the Knights in
future, Atlanta, Savannah, and posi-
bly, Macon and Augusta. The matter
will be taken up and discussed at the
meeting of the Grand Lodge this
morning.

DECATUR MAY SSON SEE
A QUINTRlPLE HANGING

Atlanta, May 1S.-Not little COM
ment and speculation is going the
rounds in reference to the possibility
of a quintriple hanging at Decatur,
should the five negroes now under ar
rest and ready for trial on the charge
of holding up the trolley car in Druid
Hills several weeks ago and murder
ing MOtorman Brown, be convicted in
DeKalb county at special hearing
which begins next Monday.
Also, there is an added feature of in
terest in the fact that the Jail yard at
Decatur is not enclosed by the usual
high fence, and hence the hangang
would necessarily be held in the open,
unless arrangements could be made
to perform the execution inside the
lail-which, by the way, is rather
small, particularly for quintriple
hanging.
Already there is any amount OF mo:
bid speculation as to whether or not
a crowd will really have a chance to
feast its eyes upon the spectacle OF
five negroes strung to rope ends, and
it is probable that in the next few
days some definite plans will be form
ulated to preclude such a possibility.
Solicitor-General William Schley
Howard. of the Stone Mountain cir
clit is confident the negroes will be
convicted, as he states the detectices
have worked up a splendid case

MEET EARLY IN JUNE.

Hewlett A. Hall, chairman of the
state Democratic committee. called on
Governor Brown and B. NJ. Blackburn

day. and said later that ne would call
the committee to meet in Atlanta on
some date early in Jlne-he thought
on June 4.
The call will be issued through
Secretary Blackburn the latter part
of the week.
This procedure brings the people CT
the state to the realization that the
gubernatorial race is close at hand, for
the state committees business is 10
set the date of the primary, which
nominates the governor.
Under the present law, the primary
cannot be held earlier than August &,
or later than August II, so the date
is arbitrarily fixed between those
dates. The business of the state COM
mittee will consist of the mere form
ality of choosing that date.
Mr.. Hall intimated Tuesday that he
had virtually decided ON June 4 as
the date on which to call the commit

HE ISSUES EDIcT TO
GEORGIA OFFICERS

Atlanta, May 1S.-Resign for the
good of the service or submit to q
trial by colrt-martial for disObedience
of orders, is the edict that has gone
forth from the office of Adjutant Cen
eral A. J. Scrott, to about 80 officers
of the National Guard of Georgia who
failed to attend the school at Fort
Mcpherson. and Furthermore failed TO
get excuses from Governor Brown.
Perhaps no such drastic measure
has ever been enforced in the annals
of the state military. In National
Guard circles here the matter is the
sole topic Of conversation, nOtwith
standing the fact that all the Atlanta
officers c implied with instructions.
There were quite a number of ofIic-
ers who could not attend the school.
but obtained written excuses from the
governor Hence they will escape the
wrath of military discipline.
While the names Of the recalcitrants
have not been given out, it is under
stood that the list includes some of
the best known officers in the state;
and is therefore probable that the ad-
jutant generals order will bring on a
whole lot more talk before the matter
is finally settled

kHORASsANS IN
A GREAT PARADE
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LINED
THE STREETS TO WITNESS
THE NOVEL PROCESSION.

True to their premise to give the
people of Brunswick an exhibition
worth seeing the Knights of Khoras
san were out in full force last even
ing in their parade. Owing to the
efforts of the members of the order
and their enthusiasm in the parade
they appeared in costumes that have
not been excelled by any organization
seen Cn the streets in many a day.
Headed by the officers the parade
passed down Newcastle street around
Hanover park to the accompaniment
of military music, and on each side
of the street hundreds eargerly gather
ed to watch the grand procession.
| With all the splendor of costumes
and the brilliant lights, words are in
| adequate to properly describe the pa
rade but looking from the great
crowds assembled to watch it, but lit
tie description is necessary. Includ-
ed in the parade were many floats, de
the candidates who attempt to probe
the myteries of the order. Roman SOL
diers, animal trainers and every other
| feature of the KhorasSan fraternity,
were in evidence, giving to prospect
i've candidates, extremely nervous
! feelings regarding what they are TO
encounter on the burning sands OF
the military desert.
While the many tyros seemed to
| be enjoying the parade as much as the
! tigers. still some of them were rather
nervous about what was awaiting
them i'll the Riflemens' armory, where
the initiation was held. and they had
right to have such a feeling. The
was sufficien to cause frightful chill
to run through ones body, and the
very peculiar pharaphanalia seen in
the parade did not look at all invit-
ing. However, there were a number
of the tyros in line, most of them
wearing the costumes of convict, and
though they fC;E d he sands as hot as
an August day, all Of them succeeded
in coming out of the armory after tAe
initiation-even if it was during the
wee sma hours of the morn.
Among those who became full
fiedged tigers last night were: l..
Calm, o. L. Merrifeld, J. B. High, j.

Various Products of This Section to
Be Exhibited at Big Fairs to Be
Held in the North and West Durino
the Coming Summer.

Atlanta May 1S.-In connection with
the work it is doing in exploiting the
resources of the south with the par-
pose OF attracting desirable settlers
the Southern Railway Company an
nounced today that during the coming
lali 1t will make displays of south
ern products at a number of important
falrs in the north and west where
they will be witnessed by at least a
million people outside the south.
At the Ohio Valley exposition to be
held at Cincinnati, October 80 to Sen
tember "a, the Southern Railway com
pany, cooperating with other railway
companies of the south, will make a
very large exhibit. Arrangements have
been made for over 10000 square feef
OF floor space in which it is planned
to install just as complete exhibits
as possible of the agricultural hor-
tlcultural, mineral, forest, and manu-
factured products of the south. At
tractive photographs will also be used
to exploit the resources and beauties
OF the southern country. VI
In addition to this Joint displav ar
Cincinnati, the Southern Railway COM
pany will make a number of displays
at other eXpositions and important
fairs wheer it is likely the greatest
number Of people can be reached and
shown the possibilities and opportuni-
ties which await them in the south
along the lines of the Southern and
''S 'i'ieu fo"uS' ~
Cooperation is Asked.
| The cooperation of the people of the
south is needed and requested in max
ing these exhibits as attractive, COM
plete, and convincing as they should
be, and it is hoped that they will give
this cooperation by contributing spec
linens and samples of products which
will aid in showing the resources of
the country. Samples of agricultural
products of high class, together with
information about yields, cultivation,
and returns are especially wanted.
M. V. Richards, Land and Industrial
agent, Washington, d. c., will make
the exhibits fer the Southern Railway
system and all who are interested
should communicate with him, giving
information about material they can
furnish, so that proper instructions
may be given as to shipping products
for display. 1t is important that every
section be properly represented and
commercial bodies, agricultural or
ganizatiCns, and citizens generally in
terested in the growth of their locali-
ties are invited to promote the inter-
ests of their particular sections by
working for a thorough representation
The representatives of the Southern's
Land and Industrial department in
the south are: W. l.. Henderson, Mo
bile, Ala; o. J. Stephens, MacCn, Ga;
r. B. Thackston, Bristol, Tenn; and
J. F. Hays, Brevard, n c. A letter
to any of them or to Mr.. Richards will
receive prompt attention.
The determination of the Southern
Railway company to make such ex-
tensive exhibits of the resources and
products of the south at expositions
and fairs in the North and West this
fall is due to the splendid results re-
ceived from such work in the past.

FIRE CHIEF ASHLEY
WILL NOW RIDE
IN $500 AUTO
Assistant Chief Didn't Get Ma.
chine Asked For-S6,5O0
for Stray Dogs.

Thirty-hve hundred dollar was
transferred from the contingent fund
OF the Fire Commission by the finance
committee of the Common Council at
it's meeting last night for the purpose
of buying an automobile for the use of
Fire Chief William G.. Ashley. The COM
mittee also went on record in favor of
the proposition of Fire Commissioners
Stratton, Of putting 81, 500 in the next
budget for the purchasing of an auto
engine for the Nailsburg district. The
request for 81, 900 for a machine for
the assistant chief was laid over.
Alderman Ingraham, chairman of the
public buildings committee, asked for
an appropriation of SOS. 900 for a Sixth
Precinct station. He said that the site
his committee had in mind would be
large enough for the new engine house
under consideration for the Clinton Hill
section. The finance committee will in
spect the site before making its decis-
lon. Mr.. Ingraham also asked that
$4,000 be placed in the next tax budget
for the erection of an addition to No.
II engine house, a request which was
favorably received by the committee.
The law department will submit the
draft of a new ordinance before the
Council meeting tomorrow night which
Will empower the city to sell at auction
C market stands to the highest
bidder. At present, it is said, when a
marketman wishes TO 60 out Of bust
ness he has the license transferred to
his successor. receiving a bonus for it.
In some cases, said Alderman Whit
6o16 ha{r,1an nF thu 6nonra oNrar,aif-
tee, this amounted to 81. 800 or 81, 900.
He believed that this bonus should go
to the city. He said that the erdi-
nance should contain a provision allow
ing the city to transfer a license from
father to son without auctioning it, in
cases where the son intended to carry
on the business.
On the recommendation of Chair
man Baum, of the committee on public
health. it was decided to increase the
appropriation to the Humane Society
for the care OF stray dogs from 81, 900
to $500. In return the society will be
notified to put on more wagons and d.
away with the charges for removing
e a animals.
City Clerk James r. Connolly ex-
planned that the reason for the 81. 900
increase In the cost of the city report
this year over la was the insertion
of additional matter by the Shade Tree
and Police commissions, after the con-
tract had bsen made.
A quarterly payment of $500 will be
made to the First Regiment by the city
for the use of the armory. In event of
the place not being used by the city
the payment will stop. Aldermen
Congieton n Baum opposed the pay
ment OF any money as long as 1t had
not been established that the armory
was used by the city
b committee also authorized the
appropriation OF $1,000 for a dental
clinic.
