Looking For Murder
ess In Atlanta

Atlanta, Feb. g. A Chinese
murderess, Oy Sin, by name, OF
Portland, Oregon, and said bv the
police to be one Of the most dan
gerous criminals on the American
continent, and the city detectives
have appealed to the honest Chi
nese element of the city to help
them locate her
Her latest crime, for which the
officers are now On the trail, was
the murder and dismemberment OF
a Chinaman in Portland, whose
body she hid by examining it into a
trunk.
A nationwide search has been
in progress for the woman. There
are very few chinese women IN At
lanta, and it is believed that if she
is really here, she will sooner or
later be located.

10 Cents Each For EGGS

Atlanta. Feb. 3.-Humpty-Dump-
ty sat on a wall yesterday in At
lanta. He sat higher than he ever
sat before in the city's history. And
he refused to fail or even totter,
He sat out Of the reach Of every
body except the opulant.
In other words eggs went up to
so cents a dozen That is, just
eggs went up to that price. When
it came to buying fresh eggs, peo-
pie were willing to pay almost any
thing short of their weight in sold,
or butter
Fer the First time since the Greek
invasion, the festive egg sandwich
costs ten cents instead of a nickle.
Not even in the humblest joint on
Decatur street can YOU get an egg
of UNREASONABLE virtue fried on a
plain piece of dry toast for less
than one dime.
The condition is un-heard OF here,
and follows an unexpected short
age in the local supply.

Thirty Years Ago Gov.
Wilson Asked License

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. If John L.
Sullivan's autograph is worth rs
cents, and Elliot of Harvard'S auto
graph is worth SO cents, how much
is an autograph by Woodrow wilson
worth, which was signed thirty years
ago.
If you puzzle out the answer, you
can send the result to the clerk OF
the Fulton county superior court,
who has just unearthed an old doc
ment-Woodrow Wilson's appiica-
ton and license to practice law in
Atlanta, dated October 10, 1882.
1t is an interesting additional fact
that the license was signed by Geo
Hillyer, now state railroad commits
sioner, but then judge Of the Fulton
superior court.
The certificate testifes that
Woodrow Wilson, having been duly
examined as required by law, is
found to possess the requisite learn
ing and ability to practice in the
state of Georgia"

To Improve The Artillery

Atlanta, Feb. Sin keeping with
a general policy announced by the
war department, an effort will be
made henceforth to encourage the
organization of field artillery and
cavalry forces in the Georgia Ma
iional Guard, rather than to in
crease the infantry strength.
In manv states the infantry is
more top-heavy, even in Georgia,
for this state has some good caval-
ry and artillery already, but the
mass of the troops is composed of
infantry, and it is this disproportion
which will be changed if possible
within the next few years.
