BABY FOUND DEAD
IN CRIB; MOTHER
HAD PREMONITION

Kept awake all night by a premonition
that something was wrong with her
baby. Mrs. Philip Hurter, of 102 West
Baker street, dozed early this morning.
When she awoke she found Charlie Hur-
ter, her infant son, dead.
The child, who was a year and a half
old, had not been well for several days
and Sunday doctor was called in. He
did not consider the illness serious.
Last night, though the boy apparently
had recovered, Mrs. Hurter could not
sleep. Throughout the night she went
to his crib to see that all was well. Early
in the morning, feeling that her alarm
was groundless, she dropped off to sleep.
She awoke about o'clock and again went
to the crib. The child was cold. She
hurriedly telephoned a doctor. When he
arrived he pronounced the baby dead.
The body was taken to Bloomfield s
chapel The funeral will take place to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock at Oak
land cemetery.

Whisky and EUil Women VanAuken S Downfall
GIVES ADVICE IN HIS CELL

Young business men of Atlanta, If
their heads above water should shun
evil women and whisky as they would a
rattlesnake. It's a combination that
can't be played to win. I've tried it,
and I've lost And IL there's a man in
this world who could really hold the
winning card in this game. 1 believe
I'm that man. The player hasn't the
ghost of a show, and the only thing to
do is to let it alone"
This advice today sifted through the
bars OF police station cell. 1t came
from Harry Ames VanAuken, a suave,
jovial, well dressed young man, who
gives his home address as New York
city, and says he is president and gen.
eral manager OF the Continental Coal
Company, of Detroit. VanAuken, who
has been stopping at the Piedmont no.
tel and who was arrested in fashion
able downtown club by Detectives Ros-
ser and Pate, is awaiting the arrival Of
an officer to take him back to Michigan
on the charge of passing bad check.
To detectives, VanAuken frankly at
tributed his downfall to whisky and
women"
Spent Thousands on Both.
II have spent thousands of dollars
on both, and they've put me on the
rocky road" he smilingly remarked to
Chief Lanford. IT am particularly fond
Of women, and have always made it a
point to pick out the prettiest and most
stunning one could find on whom to
bestow my affection and lavish my
money. 1 have made money, coolies Of
It, and have spent it freely. 1 have
frequently spent as much as 800 in a
night in my revels, parting with 1t as
freely as though it had been but ten
cents"
In conversation with a Georgian
reporter today VanAuken, admitting
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-26

that he had been high flyer, became
serious, and 1t was then that he said
he would like to sound through The
Georgian a note Of warning to other
young business men.
In doing this he stressed the point
that he is not crook
Mature has endowed me with the
gift Of gab-a smooth tongue-and
other qualifications of d good fellow,
and fear this has caused me to be re-
garded as a crook. I have made good
use of my ability in a business way,
all right, but I've never had any crimi-
nal intentions. If have ever passed a
bad check. It was unintentional, and
have never failed to make 1t good. I
regret to admit that do get on period
ical sprees, and this will get anybody
in bad
Cell and Disgrace the End.
Young men in the business world
are too prone to be high flyers. They
like to be known as good fellows, and,
when once they hit the fast pace,
the glitter and glamor OF 1t all is too
strong for them and they can't quit. II
they would but stop a moment they
could see their finish--a prison cell and
disgrace. It'll come sooner or later,
but surely. The chief food of the peni-
tentiaries today is the high flyer and
the good fellow. If they want to es-
cape this miserable end, and, instead,
make a success. they must avoid bad
women and whisky"
VanAuken explained to officers that
IL he had passed any bad checks 1t was
while he was intoxicated, attributing
all of his possible misdeeds to whisky
and the high life.
VanAuken further admits that he
served four years in the Michigan re-
formatory on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, having
been released on parole three years ago.
