byshire of Washington, was found dead
In his yard beside his gasoline engine
yesterday when his family went to
call him for dinner. 1t was about two

shot in the arm by a chicken thief.
His arm, which was shattered at the
elbow by the shot, was healing nicely,
but had to be dressed every few days.
He had been in town for the purpose
of having his arm dressed and on his
return had gone out into the yard pre-
sumably to start his gasoline engine.
1t is not exactly known how he met

the spark from the engine caught on
his arm and the shock killed him. He
was 63 years of age and leaves a wife
and four children.

BYRD MARTIN IS
KILLED BY AUTO
Struck BY Samuel Adler's Car
on Viaduct
RIB PIERCED HIS LUNG
Stepped From Behind Carriage In At
tempting to Cross Street and the
Chauffeur Did Not See Him
Until 1t Was Too Late
RIB PIERCED HIS LUNG

James Byrd Martin, employed by the
city as keeper of Magnolia park, was
run over and fatally injured yesterday
morning shortly before 10 o'clock on
Twenty-first street bridge by the automo-
bile owned by Samuel M. Adler and driven
by Lonnie Bell, negro. Martin, 1t
seems, was attempting to cross the bridge
from the right to the left side, and was
struck without warning The chauffeur
stopped his car Immediately and the in
jured man was taken in the machine to
the Hillman hospital. where he died
shortly afterward.
The negro, Bell, went to police head
quarters from the hospital and surren-
dered. The charge of violating the speed
limit was first docketed against him,
which was later changed to murder. and
he was held without bail.
A preliminary investigation was made
by the deputy of Coroner B. L. Brasher
but no action will be taken by the COR
oner until Monday. Martins death was
brought about by internal injuries, three
left ribs being fractured and the left lung
penetrated.
Funeral services will be held this aft
ernoon at 2:9O O'Clock at the residence of
Edgar L. Martin a brother of the dead
man, 1924 Avenue G, and interment will
be in McElwain cemetery. Martin had
been in the employ of the city for over
two years and was quite well known. He
Is survived by his parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
George l.. Martin, widow and small
son, and by four brothers, Edgar l.. Mar
company; William Martin John Martin
and Brown Martin. He had for some
time resided in Shades valley.
According to the statement made by
the negro chauffeur the accident was UNI
avoidable on his part. He was going
north into town, he says. and had just
turned to the right of carriage when
he saw Martin, who had attempted to
cross behind the buggy and could not see
the approaching car. Mr. Adler stated
last night that the negro had been in his
employ for over three years and had al
ways been a careful chauffeur, this being
his first accident.
Bell declares he was running at an
average rate of speed, but physicians
who examined the injured man state that
his injury in the chest seemed to have
been caused by a single blow and that
the machine must have been going at
considerable speed to crush in the ribs
and penetrate the lung. The car driven
was a heavy seven-passenger. machine.
The only passenger at the time was
Miss Jeanne Adler, daughter of Samuel
Adler.

|LULL At PRESENT
| IN CITY POLITICS
w. B. Copeland Announces for
Treasurer
OTHERS EXPECTED sOol
Some Spirited Contests for the
Various City OHices That
Are to Be Filled

Each day brings forth new announce
ments for city offices, the latest one be-
ing that of w. B. Copeland for city
treasurer, who makes a formal announce
ment in today's issue of The Age-Herald.
Mr. Copeland was formerly city auditor
and is widely known He will be OPP
posed in the race by the present incum-
bent, George Fl. Eustis, who, while he
has not made formal announcement of
his candidacy, it is generally understood
will be out for reelection. The office
of city treasurer is the second best office
of the city government, paying $4,000 per
anrum
But outside of the formal announce
ments made during the last day or two
there has been just a bit of apathy in
local politics. Thursday night was a
decidedly live one for city affairs and
Friday and yesterday rather presented
the lufl after the storm. These two days
have given the people a breathing spell,
however and the coming week is ex-
pected to be one of activity.
The city ticket in the primary on June
20 will be a rather lengthy one. and
the subcommittee will have the task
OF getting out is different ballots, one
for each ward. On each ballot will APP
pear the mayor, president of the council.
aldermen from the particular ward, heads
of the various city departments, and
executive committeeman. There will be
probably 90 names on the ballot, and In
addition there will be place to vote on
the commission form of government.
public meeting is to be held by the
committee on Tuesday night at s o'clock
In the council chamber, at which the
plans of the primary as outlined by the
subcommittee will be taken up and act
ed upon.
All heads of departments who draw a
salary of $3.50 per month and over will
be placed upon the ticket except the
position of chief of the fire department
and the city bacteriologist The follow
ing are the places to be contested for:
City treasurer, auditor license collector,
street commissioner, building inspector,
electrician. attorney, chief of police, and
probably the place of city clerk. There
is some doubt, however, as to whether
or not this latter position will be placed
upon the ticket.
The mayors race presents no new fea-
lures, but with the coming week new
developments are expected. The candi-
dates In the field, Culpepper Exum, Carl
Fl. Seals and Jere C. King, are quietly
at work getting personally in touch with
the voters, and each is feeling conf
dent of election. The race promises to
be a spirited one.

thrown open to the Gadsden party, sew
eral hundred strong, and for hours they
rode the chutes, whizzed around the
scenic railway, dashed over the lake in
the new motorboats and otherwise made
life interesting for themselves.
All the concessions were running and
the lake furnished an elegant repast for
the visitors, who, tired and happy, re-
turned to their native heath last night
on a special train. This does not mark
the formal opening of East Lake, which
takes place a week from today. Presi-
dent Burnett however, decided to run
today In answer to the big demand for
some place of recreation and rest. All
the concessions will be in operation to-
day and special arrangements have been
made to care for the crowds that will
go to the lake.
