those coming in contact with him until
he has become the personal friend not
only of the Y. NJ. G. A. circles but of

To Mr.. Hopper belongs much of
the credit for the successful extension
of the work of the Fairgrounds Asso-
citation, which has been the means of
putting Pensacola before the country
as a leader in this kind OF work in
the south, and the high plane upon
which Bayview park is operated is a
daily reminder of his thorough work.
Mr.. Hoppen's many friends wish for
him pleasant vacation and will be
glad when the time comes for him to
return.

Gentlemen Gamblers Create Panic
FIERCE FIGHT ON OLYMPIC

NEW YORK, Aug 15--It was an ex-
cited and garrulous throng of passen-
gers that poured down the gang plank
when the White Star liner Olympic ar
rived here today one day late. They
were still discussing an exciting battle
over a card game that occurred when
three days out of Queenstown 1t arose
out of charges that one of the first
cabin passengers. was a professional
gambler. H. c. Alder, an American
now residing in Paris, had been invited
to take hand at poker with T L. Cur
tbs, an Oregon lumber dealer, and sew
eral of Curtis friends. Alder lost con-
siderable money and later he was re-
ported to have said that Curtis. who
had been the heaviest winner, was mot
on the square" as a poker player.
Knocked Accuser Down,
This report reached Curtis and he
started in search of Alder, whom he
found in the saloon.
81 don't like what you've been saying
about me-" he said. Then he knocked
Alder down.
Alder struggled to his feet, swung
wildly at his assallant and the two
men clinched, each striving without

AT THE THEATERS
FORSYTH BILL PLEASEs
BIG AUDIENCES DAILY

Vaudeville at the Forsyth this week
is up to the standard, That means that
the bill is of that quality that attracts
and the result is plain. for the theater
has been crowded to its limit of ca
pacity at six performances, and the box
office men have been constantly busy
serving patrons who are making ad-
vance reservations for the six remain
ing performances.
The seven acts represent the best
class of vaudeville that is possible right
now to secure. There are acts that
command the highest salaries paid to
theatrical people, and that blend per
fectly. making an entertainment that is
worth time and money.
Gertrude Vanderbilt, with the help of
George Moore, has scored the biggest
hit any headline feature has ever reg
istered at the busy theater. The pretty
singing and dancing comedienne has
eclipsed all the success that has been
registered by condolences at the For
syth, and is about the most popular lit.
tie entertainer now known to Atlanta
rheatergoers.
Sydney Drew and Company present
ing Jack Futrelle's playlet THE Model
Young Man." also score we'll and win
curtain calls, and the Three Tyres
clever musicians and comedians, win
hearty favor.
Willie Weston, the entertainer direct
from the New York Winter Garden
and other splendid acts make the bill
all that the advance notices and critics
claim for it,
Popular vaudeville is to be introduced
at the Forsyth next week. There will
be five Keith acts at every perform

splendid motion pictures There will be
daily matinees and two performances

dOrsed by the best class of people in

STANLEY ASSA|LS
T.R.AND PERKINS
Chairman of Steel ProberS Tells
How Aid Was Given This
Trust.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Theodore
Roosevelt, George w. Perkins of Har-
vester trust fame and the Federal bu-
reau of corporations were jointly as
sailed by Chairman Stanley, Of the
steel investigating committee, IN
the house for aiding in the protection
of the United States Steel Corporation
and accepting any means to prevent
the power of this monopoly from being
lessened.
THE government by commissions as
conducted by the bureau Of corpora
TONS" said Mr.. Stanley, SIS more than
pleasing to the interests and they are
today more enthusiastic than ever In
their advocacy Of an extension of the
same. For several years the chief in
termediary between big business and
those intrusted by the government with
the duty of investigating has been a
gentleman by the name of George W.
Perkins. To pry into the secrets OF the
bureau and to keep the interests most
concerned advised as to the progress of
the assumably secret inspection, was
the task for which Mr.. Perkins showed
his peculiar fitness"
Describing the manner In which a
$4,000 donation was given Mr.. Roose-
welt by George w. Perkins Mr.. Stanley
said:
"Pocketed Insurance Money"
Mr.. Perkins gave his personal check
to Mr.. Bliss and was reimbursed by a
check of the New York Life Insurance
Company, payable to ]. P. Morgan &
Co The proceeds of this check were
traced to the pocketbook Of Mr.. Per-
kins and for this eminent service he
was arrested under a warrant charg-
ing him with grand larceny. AS Chief
Justice Cullen, who tried the case
says, Perkins knew that this money
was drawn from life insurance policy
without the policy holders consent.
This man (Perkins) escaped the
prison cell by the skin Of his teeth fo1
having picked the pocket OF shrou6
for the use and benefit Of the Republi-
can party"
Referring to the assimilation Of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company dur
ing Roosevelt's administration, the
speaker continued:
The severest critic Of Roosevelt car
scarcely conceive that he would in
twenty minutes have commissioned the
Steel Corporation to squash its last
competitor. Had he possessed one
tenth of the information which the
commissioner of corporations after
ward admitted having, he probably
never would been guilty of this act"

PRES. MADERO WILL
PROTECT INTERESTS

Los ANGELES, Aug. 15.-As the re-
suit of selling Mexican rights along the

success to land on his opponent.
The screams of women passengers
brought what is known on the Olympic
as the strong arm squad" of stewards,
whose duty it is to interfere in such
impromptu encounters.
Alder and Curtis both seemed to re-
sent the interference of the stewards
and ceasing their efforts to maui each
other, made common cause against the
peacemakers. Before they were over
come by force of numbers several natty
uniforms had been badly torn and
crumpled.
$1,000 to Prove Honesty.
When he had been released on prom
Use that he would be good Curtis drew
a roll of bills from his pocket and
threw it on the floor the saloon.
There is one thousand dollars in
that pile, and I'll bet that no one can
prove that l have ever gambled dis
honestly" he said dramatically No
one took the bet. Alder afterward ad e.
mitted that he had no proof of his
charge that Curtis had cheated.
Marc Klaw, who returned on the
Olympic, said the fight between Alder
and Curtis was hot one from a dra-
matte viewpoint. gentlemen"

REBELS MENACE
MEXICAN CAPITAL
ZapatiStS Defeat the Federal
TroopS-TerribIe Tales of
Torture Are Told.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15.-Mexican
rebels today are menacing Mexico City
itself. Reports reaching the capital
state that federals stationed at half a
dozen different points in states ad-
joining this have been defeated by in
surrectos in the past 4S hours
Tenancingo which contained the
largest federal garrison in the state of
Mexico outside of this city, has fallen
before a Zapatist attack
a rebel force of 5000 to 1000 men is
operating about Toluca. So miles from
this city, and Tenancingo, which is IS
miles from ToluCa. They are inflicting
horrible barbarities upon all who re-
fuse to join them. Insurrecto leaders
have offered rewards to their followers
in order to devise new forms of tor
ture. Lashing, burning and mutilation
have ceased to satisfy the brutal SOL
diers in their thirst for vengeance upon
all who will not enlist under the Zap
atist flag.
Terrible Tortures Reported.
Al lXtapan five men had their tongues
cut out because they refused to take
arms. These fortunes are being in
ficted by troops which are operating
from so to 100 miles from this city.
Inspired by fear hundreds of farmers
and ranch employees are flocking to the
rebel ranks.
The garrison has been drained of
every available soldier. In consequence
but a few troops have been left to de-
fend the city and it is feared that if a
surprise attack should be made by a
big insurgent force supported by artil-
lery Mexico City would fall into the
hands of the rebels
