Figuring from facts secured from

presses his belief that the team
owners have understated instead of
overstated their case as regards to
the cost of horses and the expense

TO HAVE BIG COLLEGE
AND A HOSPITAL.
Southern PreSbytvrianS to
Start Them.

Atlanta Ca, October 20.-Perhaps
the biggest undertaking ever launca-
ed in the South has been started by
tie Southern Presbyterian church to
establish botD big college and hos
pital in Atlanta. AS recently al
nounced there will be an anniversary
rally of the Southern church held at
the auditorium in December, and at
that time the plans for the college
and hospital will be discussed.
The plan is to establish a million
dollar male university in Atlanta, 10
be the head university of the wLt5:e
Southern Presbyterian church. The
endowment for Agnes Scott college, a
female institution under the aus
pices of the Southern Presbyterian
church, not long ago was raised 20
$1,OOO,O0O.
the plan to erect a big male insti-
tuition in Atlanta is not new. A sim
liar movement was started some years
ago as the result of a desire to COLL
bine two Southern Presbyterian col
leges and move them to Atlanta.
At that time the decision Was reach
ed not to move the colleges, hence
those w.O had subscribed on that con-
dition We're not called upon. These
subscriptions are in the hands of the
local Presbyterian committee. and it
is not believed that there viii 5e
much difficulty in reyiving practica.iy
all the subscriptions, if $75OOOO is
raised by the large.
The matter is beginning to take
shape through the action two weeks
ago of the Paris, Tex, Presbytery,
which has overturned the Synod to take
the initiative in the establishment in
Atlanta of the Southern Presbyt9-
rians' greatest university 1t is ru-

TIE ORIGIN OF POPU-

Said to Be Daughter of a
Mechanic.
CFrom the New York Times.)


When Henry Cody died four years
ago at PIG West Thirty-Sixth street,
letters found in Ids room indicats ID
That he was brother of Marie Coreih,
the English novelist. Miss Coreni
was appealed to but she denied hav-
ing brother living and asserted that
she was tie daughter of Count CO.
relli, an Italian, and had been adopt
ed by DR.. Charles Mackay, the Scotch
writer. Cody's story was forgotten
and Miss Corellis story of her birth
and parentage continued to be the
one generally accepted.
1t was not until yesterda ythat it
was again called into question. An
Old friend of Cody came forward
with letter written in England by TIE
brother of the dead man, in which
the writer, Sidney Cody. says 4. tina
Marie Corelli is their sister This le.-
ter was written at the time OF Henry

ter of an English mechanic, WHO wa.

Mrs. Mackay. 1t denies her descent
from a Count CoreLi The writer -
the letter is Sidney Cody, who saws

Mr.. Brier said yesterday that h.
had known Henry Cody fifteen years
and knew his entire story. He visit
ed London with two letters to tie Co
dy family in 1897, and was introduc-
ed by Eleanor Cody to lady whoIn
she presented as Marie Mackay, my
sister" At that time she had not be-
came famous, but he remembered the
incident, as he Thought it rather GU

famous, Mr.. Brier said he and Henri!
