 husband, Charles A. Patterson, former
 Chicago broker, sticks to the story she
 told immediately after the shooting, de-

 off,
 From then until after her arrest she re- iterated time after time that her mind was a blank. Regarding her relations with Emil Strouss, millionaire clothing manufac- turer of Chicago, she talkeA freely, sd-
 hitting illicit relations, the police said, and charging her husband With further ing these relations for money obtained from Strouss.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Views of Ensley Man

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 My attention was called to a commu- nication in The Age-Herald of the 2Sth inst. from MT. John l.. Parker, in which he advocates an increase in the tax rate for Birmingham from l to i H per cent, also indorsing the proposed rate increase for the Southern Bell Tele- phone company. The tax rate increase would be a hardship on the home seek CT, also bad advertisement for Birming ham, To the. man of means the in crease would mean little, perhaps, but to the man of moderate income 1t would mean much, and would undoubtedly de- ter many working men from trying to own their own homes. think the com missioners will be able to pull Birming ham through her financial troubles without having to resort to such drastic means
 In regard to the rate increase of the Southern Bell Telephone company, l can readily understand why a business man would advocate a merger of the two telephone companies with rate increase, but how tabout the many homesAnd the individuals who use but one phone, upon whom this increase would be burden instead of benefit The reason given by. the telephone com pany for. this increase is proposterous and absurd. If an increase in the volume Of business done proportionate- ly increased the cost of production, as claimed by the telephone company. what would the United States Steel corr poration be forced to charge per ton for steel rails? Or the Standard Oil company for gallon of coal oil? The people seem to have but one official friend in this fight against the octopus All hail the name of the fearless Judge Lane in his fight for right against might. Respectfully,
 J. w. BERGMAN.

GEORGIA TECH HAS
 GOOD ENROLMENT
Atlanta Is Now Provided With Fine New
 Hotels


 Atlanta. September e.-(special)-Geo
 gia Tech has now formally opened with
 the best attendance in it's history. and
 better able to take care of the boys than
 e1 CT before.
 The last week has been spent in en-
 trance examinations and in getting used
 to the feeling that the holidays are over
 and that studies and football are about due.
 There have been many new features
 added at the Tech since last summer. l Chief among them is the Carnegie Y.
 Nj. c. A building. s15,OOO structure, to the building of which the people of At | larta gave $25, GOO in the recent big Y. M.
 c. A. campaign for funds.
 This new building will supply the boys with all the advantages of college club obliged to leave their homes. The new building is a very handsome one. Another innovation in a way is the hos pial, which will take care of P students,
 and which was built largely through the
 efforts of the women's clubs of Atlanta. who became interested in this project
 something over one year ago. Theer are number of shop buildings, lttt1liN buOtu lO lfle cOIIeSe, anu lut faculty has suffered a number of changes.
 The terse comment of President Mathe- son, resigned because of higher salary offer in other colleges tells the great est need of the Georgia school.
 The demand for Tech graduates is
 growing every day and it has come to
 that point that by the time the gradu- ates are holding their diplomas in one
 hand, the other is clasping an offer of
 job.
 The senior class this year will probably
 be the largest ever. but the supply up to date has been unequal to the demand.
 Stirred by it's lack of hotels, Atlanta has
 been busy recently providing for this need. One hotel opened to the public on Sun day morning, another Y Ill be open next month, and 1t will not be long before an- other will be in the course of erection With these additions the city will be well
 provided to accommodate the great trav- cling public, which has been avoiding
 Atlanta of late owing to the failure Of the Gate City to give them the comforts they expected and were willing to pay for. The Imperial opened on Sunday morn- ins. It is beautifully located on Peach
 tiee street, in the residence section, yet near eHOuSn the center or the clty 10 sal isfy the majority of people It is on the edge of progress, however. as business Atlanta is building out that street north ward, and will soon be even more de- sirably located than at present. While | a great deal of it's customers will be per- | mament there will be planty of accom-
 niodations for all transients

 the most beautiful hotel in the south built by Joseph Gatins, a former At lartan now stock broker in New York vii. open some time next month It is To-
 cated far out in the residence section. in
 one of the prettiest parts of the city, ana in its arrangement every detail that spells comfort to the guest has been ar ranged for. The new hotel will be built

OTHER SIDE OF THE FLY QUEs-
TION.

Just about this time of the year
j there are many injunctions in the
public press to swat the fly" with
a promise of the most direful results
If this warning be not followed. But
few people know much about the real
truth of the fly question, beyond the
fact that the housefy is a carrier of
the germs of certain diseases, such
as typhoid fever, intestinal disorders
and tuberculosis. There is, however,
another side to the question, and
some of the greatest entomologists
on the North American continent dis
cuss it in the June number of Pop
,ular Mechanics Magazine.
The following question is raised:
"If the fly be exterminated, suppos-
ing that were possible, would it tend
to upset the balance of nature and
result in some other plague that
might be even worse than the flies
themselves?" And it is argued:
Similar things have happened be-
fore. The decimation of the coyotes
resulted in a plague of gophers. The
mongoose was practically extermin-
ated and the rats multiplied so as to
become menace. The weasels were
killed off and the rabbits overran the
countryside and ate up every green
thing in sight The EnoIisb ,po,,o,-
was imported to destroy the measur-
ing worm, and now people are won
dering how to kill off the sparrow,
which has increased so alarmingIy
as to become a pest. In Northern
China the wolves kept down the mar
mot or land otter but when the ma
tives waged war Oh the wolf the mar
mot increased and spread the plague"
