MAYNARD WIFE and
LOVER KILL SELVES
GAS ENDS ROMANCE OF MRS.
SNYDAM AND FRED NOBLE.
Husband, From Whom She Ran Away,
But Whom She Loved, Helped
!. Break Into Apartments.

New York.--Double suicide Sunday
ended the sensational romance of the
former wife of Walter L. Snydam and
Frederick Noble, the young plumber, ior
the love of whom Mrs. Snydam ran away
from her millionaire husband and mar
ried. H.
Clasped in each others arms, they
were found lifeless from gas asphyxia-
ton in their pretty apartment at SO
West Twelfth street. There was no
possibility of accident. Their street
clothes had been laid carefully away,
every room had been put to rights:
They were not happy together. They
really did not love one another. The
young wife never loved any man except
Walter Lisponard Snydam, the Million
aire husband, from whom she ran away
on September. 8 last. Fred Noble, the
son of a Brooklyn pluber, knew this;
knew that she married him only to set
herself as right as might be before the
world. He married her only to give her

came to an end the final divorce papers

the runaways became a humdrum, mo-
notonous affair. There was no newness
for one to find in the other. There were
no friends, save two or three, to give
them new interests. They had only each
other and their interest in each other
had been nearly played out, when it
should have begun.
"My friend,' said Louise Snydam
about week ago to one of the few who
stood by them, ''you and I and Fred,

Kissing Bug in the Gate City

Atlanta, Jan. 9.-The kissing bug
has got loose at the Atlanta police
station and is driving the officers
wild. They can't handcuff it; they
can't lock it up; they can't club it
into submission-they can't do any
thing but watch it. and shift from
one foot to the other nervously.
They have got two prisoners, I. l..
Waters and Mary Reeves, a pretty
17-year-oId girl, who is in love with
him. They are the most devoted
pair the police have ever seen. Its
really a pity they can't get mar
ried," the matron says. They are
crazy about kissing each other.
Every time they get the slightest
chance they are kissing. They kiss
ed all the way to Atlanta when they
were brought from cambridge by a
detective; they kissed in the wait
ing room at the station house; they
kissed through the bars after Wa
tiers had been locked up"
The matron doesn't want to lock
the girl up in solitary cell, but
says she is going to have it to do if
the kissing can't be stopped any
other way. Waters is held for rum
ming away with the girl when he
had a perfectly good wife at home.

State Board Of Health;
Sensational Charges

Atlanta, Jan. 0-With Hon. Robt
F. Maddox of Atlanta, the new ap-
pointee, sitting in the place of Dr.
Willis F. Westn)r; az
the state board of health is in ses-
sion today at the capitol.
The chief business before the
board is the sensational affair that
has grown up around the charges
filed by DR.. Westmoreland against
DR.. H. F. Harris, secretary Of the
board. DR.. Westmoreland charged
that DR.. Harris was guilty of bust
ness irregularity, neglect of duty,
graft and wilful carelessness in send
ing out improperly labeled anti
toxin, thus putting the lives of
many children in danger and caus-
ing the death of some.
1t is known that the board stands
with DR.. Harris and is consequently
taken for granted that he will be ex-
onerated, no matter how the new
member, Robert F. Maddox, may
vote in the matter; however, there
is a disposition On the part of per-
sons interested here not to let the
matter drop in the board, but to
take steps towards following the
affair up with a legislative investi-
cation.
In appointing a business man in
stead of a doctor to the board, Gov
ernor Slaton has taken a new de-
parture so far as recent precedent is
concerned, but he believes it will
make the board stronger. 1t is en-
tirely within the law, as the law
says a majority" of the members Of
the state board of health shall be
physicians; it does rot say they
must all be.

Wardens TO Arrest
Robin Shooters
Investigate Reports in East Ma
con and Find That the Birds
Have Been Killed by
Hundreds.

Deputy Game Wardens Afford
and Macon have been investigating
the report that hundreds of robins
have been killed in East Macon this
week and as a result it is very prob
able that there will be ten or twelve
arrests made within the next "a
hours. They have the names Of the
parties suspected of doing the shoot
ing, but are trying to procure more
evidence.
They state that their investiga-
tons lead them to believe that the
shooting of robins has been promis-
cuous, although these birds are pro-
tected by law It is alleged that one
person killed over thirty robins with
an air gun and that another killed
fifteen with a sling shot.-At any
rate, it is reliably stated that rob-
ms were served at many breakfast
and supper tables in East Macon
this week.
