Fare Boxes Placed
on the Farnam Line

Fare boxes were placed on thirty cars
on the Farnam line Tuesday and tbs
passenger now drops his fare in the box
instead of handing II to the conductor.
The advantage to the company Is that
this gives the conductor more time to
punch transfers and start the car and
the cars can thus make faster time
The fare boxes will take nickels dimes
and pennies. n YOU have no change. the
conductor will make change for you. The
money stops on a slide IN the box. that
the conductor may examine II through
the glass to see that no punched dimes
or lead nickels are worked off on him.
When the conductor turns crank. the
money drops further down and automa-
tically registers itself.
Five pennies register one fare; a
nickel. one fare; and a dime. two fares
The conductor still rings up tickets as Of
old by pulling a rope and collects the
transfers.
Fare boxes viii eventually be installed
on all the company's cars

HOKE SMITH HAS
fight ON HANDS
THREE IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR
SHIP OF GEORGIA. CAMPAIGN
LAUNCHED AT COMMIT
TEE MEETING.

Atlanta, Ga, oct. 26.-What promis-
es to be one of the hottest fights for
the governorship that Georgia has
seen in years was formally launched
here today when the State Democratic
executive committee met TO fix the
date and make other arrangements for
the state primaries to choose the sue
cessor Of Governor Hoke Smith. who
resigns next month to assume his du-
ties as United States senator. 1t is
generally expected that the committee
will select the second week of Decem-
Der as the time for holding the pri-
maries.
There are three leading candidates in
the race for the governorship. They
are former Governor Joseph NJ. Brown.
former State Treasurer j. Pope Brown
and Richard b. Russell, judge Of the
court of appeals. This is Joseph NJ.
Browns third race for governor. He
defeated Hoke Smith for a second
term in 1908 and i'm 1910 was defeated
for a second term by Smith. His en-
try into the present contest has arous-
ed the fighting blood of the Smith ad-
herents who look on his candidacy as
part of plan of former Governor Ter
rell and the old machine to gain control
of the Georgia Democracy and defeat
Smith when he goes before the people
Tor reelection as United States sena-
tor.
The prohibition issue is expected to
figure prominently in the campaign.
Judge Russell is to make the race on a
local option platform, while J. Pope
I'rown is a supporter of the present
Statewide prohibition law. Former
Governor Brown straddles the prohibl-
tion question.

ON THE STAND
ENTERS GENERAL DENIAL OF
TESTIMONY oFEERED BY
"ooLLY" HAMMEs. WAIT
ING FOR WITNESS.

| ontonagon, Mich, oct 26.-Thi
mornings session, in the trial Of Mrs
Laura stannard, charged with tn,
murder Of her husband, was brief anc
unimportant. At the opening Of tn,
session the defense announced tina
it had a witness who would be unabl,
to reach Ontonagon until 10 o'clock anc
recess was taken at $3.50 o'clock tc
wait for this witness. At 1920 wher
the witness had not arrived. a further
recess was taken until o'clock.
Mrs. Stannard was the only witness
on the stand this morning and she was
oross-examined by Judge Van Slyke
Tor the prosecution. His questions
were based on a belief that Mrs. STAN
nard did not send for a doctor a sec
ond time because DIR. Larned had told
her to give Mr.. Stannard medicine at
O'Clock and before o'clock Mr.. Stan
nard was dead.
Mrs. Stannard said she believed Mr..
Stannard died as a result Of drinking
too much whisky. She denied that
she ever said to her son Alvah STAN
nard, as testified to by Dolly Ham
mes: "Alvah, | was provoked"
Mrs. Stannard took the stand at Z. 80
yesterday afternoon and although she
gave way to tears at first while being
examined by her attorneys. by sheer
strength of will she composed herself
and showed remarkable self control
throughout the rigid cross examination
by Judge Van Slyke for the prosecu-
ton. Mrs. Stannard answered ques-
tons clearly and in a positive man
ner, even defiantly when the attorneys
for the prosecution attempted to con-
fuse her. She told Of her married life
of Stannards cruelties when drunk
and of her struggles against poverty.
She denied emphatically the testimony
offered by Dolly" Hammes. her testi-
mony concerning strychnine being con
sidered Of especial Importance.
Mrs. Stannard was asked by Attor-
ney O'Brien
Did you state TO Dolly Hammes
that morning that YOU had put pow
ders in Mr. Stannards coffee?"
No, sir; l did not" she answered.
Did you put any powders OF any
kind in his coffee at any time that
NO, sir; did not"
Was there ever any strychnine i'm
the house, asked Mr.. O'Brien.
NO. sir; I never saw any strychnine
In my life"
Did you ever have any strychnine
in your possession"
NO, sir; never in my life"
The cross-examination OF the witness
was in progress when the court ad-
iourned at o'clock.
