ers and be controlled by capable men.
From an oratorical viewpoint the
speeches of Luther Moultrie of Rome
and Lewis Hoppe and Robert Harris of
Marietta were as good as such young
men could be expected to make and
were far ahead of what had been ex-
pected. All the speakers were loudly
applauded for their oratory and their
points of argument and the audience
was in doubt of the verdict until Col.
Joha P Cheney finally mustered the
nerve to announce the result.
The judges were: Coils. John P.
Cheney, Gordon B. Gam and J. Glenn
Giles. Col. Cheney was in the minority
opinion and was voted TO announce the
result. He spoke in happy vein quite
few minutes and when the result was
announced the speakers and audience
were in such happy mood that the
| laughter almost exceeded the cheering.

DARLINGTON DEFEATED
BY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
Speeches of Both Sides Were
Good And Decision Was
Hard To Make.

The representatives of the Marietta
High School were awarded the decision
in the debate last Friday night against
the Darlington School of Rome The
question at issue was Resolved, That
Cities in the United States Should Own
and Operate Plants for Supplying Light,
Water and Transportation.
The speeches were interspersed with
songs by the High School girls and vo-
cal solos by Mrs. Henry Wyatt. Mrs.
Hodges played the Accomplishments.
Howard Weems, Gordon Howell and
Luther Moultrie represented the OAR
ington School on the affirmative side
and W. D. Spence, Lewis Hoppe and
Robert Harris represented the High
School on the negative side.
All the speeches were good and many
good points were brought out on each
side making the decision difficult one.
The local boys won mainly on account
of the political complexion of the issue
being the chief point of argument. 1t
was practically admitted by the affirma-
tive that the reason for the failure of
municipality owned plants to be profta-
bic was largely due to the fact that
men were generally placed in control
as managers as reward tor their polit-
zeal influence rather than their ability
to fulfill the Office.
This point was strongly argued by
the Marietta boys as making the sue
cess of such plants improbably if not
altogether impossible and both sides
offered plans for the successful opera,
ton of municipal plants by eliminating
the plan of political appointment Of
managers.
1t was admitted by both sides tina
such plants were of great benefit i
they could be kept from political lead

state militia said today that the full
regiment would go to Washington on
March 4 to take part in the inaugural
ceremonies Of Woodrow Wilson as
president of the United States.
Ever since it looked as though VII
son, a Southern man and former At
lantan, would be elected, we have been
decided that the Fifth regiment should
attend the ceremonies of his Inaugural
ton. I don't know yet just what plan
will be adopted to meet the expenses of
the trip. But the Fifth regiment will
be there, and it is not probable that any
other city than Atlanta of less than
100000 poulation will be represented by
a full regiment of militia"

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-The four
young gunner charged with the assas
sination of Herman ROsenthal on the
morning of July 16 last were found
guilty OF murder in the first degree by
jury in the criminal branch of the su
preme court this afternoon.
The jury was out just one hour, hav-
ing retired at IS o'clock and returning
at 2:S5.
At FPS o'clock the fury notified the
court that it had reached a verdict, but
Justice Goff could not be found at once.
| The defendants-Harry Horowitz
alias "Gyp the Blood" Louis Rosen-
berg alias "Dago Frank" and Giro
| fci, alias 'Dago Frank" and Frank
Muller, alias Whitley I4ewis'-were
taken in the court room from the
Tombs. Their faces showed that they
realized that the tury's quick decision
BODIED them I'll.
Those who heard the Justices charge
expected a severe verdict. Although
maintaining strict legal impartiality, he
brought out facts from the testimony
| which were damaging to the defense.
| The verdict against the gunner was
| a severe blow to the case of ex-Police
| Lieutenant Charles Becker, whose
hopes of q new trial were based on
possible acquittal OF the gunner.
! Becker was alleged to have hired the
gunner, through Jack Rose, the states
chief witness, to put Rosenthal, the
''squealing gambler" out of the way
The verdict against the quartet of gun
men carries with it a penalty of death
| in the electric chair.
Attorney Wahle. counsel for the
young gangsters, said after the verdict
that he would continue to fight the case
and attempt to get new trial.
Justice Con- announced that the four
gunner would be sentenced tomorrow
at 1890 o'clock
At ago o'clock a squad Of policemen
were summoned to the criminal courts
building while the jury was delberat-
ing. When Police Captain Tierney was
asked the reason, he said:
You remember what happened In

Following charge from the court
which was construed as unfavorabIe to
the defendants, the case OF the -four
young gunner went to the jury at 1876
o'clock this afternoon.
Attorney Wahle, for the defense, took
exceptions to all refusals of Justice
Goff to urge his points on the Jury and
asked to have part Of the charge stricll
en- out. The only defendant the charge
seemed to favor in any way was "Dago
Frank"
AS soon as Justice Goff entered the
court this morning the doors were al
once closed and bolted and all entrance
or exit forbidden until he concluded
Attorney Wahle submitted 81 IRE

principal contention in this list was
that If there should be reasonable doubt
I'm the minds of the Jurors as to the
presence of ''Dago Frank" at the scene

should be acquitted.

way line bends northeast and then
southwest to avoid mountainous routes

either side from the forks are redoubts

shells continually burst above the
troops, which caused great uneasiness
among the reserves
