MRS. GRACE NOT
/. To GO ON STAGE
Fortune Drained by Trial, She
May Be Forced to Enter
Business World.

Mrs Daisy Opie Grace, in Savannah
today en- route from the scene OF her
recent trial and acquittal to take up
a new life with her mother and her
blind son in Philadelphia. may dis
cover when she reaches her destination
that she will be forced to go out and
earn livelihood.
The cost of her trial and the pre-
liminary expenses exceeded $4,000 and
she is so short of cash that she has
given her lawyer John w. Moore, a
judgment lien upon her Philadelphia
property to secure part of her attor-
neys fees. This note for $500 prob
ably is only one of several that Mrs.
Grace was forced to give. and she, ad-
mits that her resources have been
drained by the trial.
Nevertheless, when she left Atlanta
with her mother last night on the 9:10
train for Savannah, Mrs. Grace vigor-
ously denied the report that she is to
go upon the stage to recoup her for
tunes and pay for the education and
treatment of her blind son. She said
she had had offers from theatrical man
ayers.
May Enter Business Field.
Mrs. Grace did not deny that she
might enter some business. What this
business will be she has not yet even
attempted to determine. She has no
professional training, nor any particu-
lar accomplishment which might be
turned into an income. She believes
that after all the obligations Of the
enough left so that she and her mother
may live in fairly comfortable circum-
stances. The income from her proper
ty would not also provide for her blind
sons education and care and she said
she was determined to give him every
opportunity in life if she had to work
her hands off" to do it.
With her mother last night she avoid
ed the curious crowd a the depot by
hurrying to her state room through the
freight elevator. There she babe good
bye to Detective Burke and Captain and
Mrs. H. j. Weaver in the privacy of
the compartment that she had taken
under an assumed name. When she
sails for Philadelphia from Savannah
today it will be also under a name that
is not her own.
Il am very grateful to you all who
have been my friends" she said, as the
train moved out, but | am glad to be
leaving this city of my sorrows-for-
ever"

The BliGIt1 of Murphyism.

The political blight of the Democ-
racy Of New York is Charles +.
Murphy, who with others of his ilk,
and subservient tools failed to
dominate the Baltimore convention.
1t was William J. Brsaa who figura-
lively hayed Murphy and drove hDn
into silence in his corner. The SER
vice rendered the Democracy of the
Nation by Mr.. Bryan in belittling
and in minimizing the audacity of
this one of the Bosses ofNew York
can never be fully appreciated. 1t
was the smashing of Murphy at the
opportune time that led finally to
the domination of Governor Wilson
and to Bryan's personal vindication
and triumph. n.s.~. -.
In New York the Democracy has
been awakened to its opportunity,
but Murphy is interposing his evil
influence unless he shall be per-
mitted to control in his selfish in
terests.
In this contention some of the
New York Democrats have invited
Governor Wilson to interfere or
to intercede his influence which he
has declined for the very good rea-
son that he has nS right or author
ity to NEEDLE in or to interfere or
intervene in the affairs of any of
the States.
The situation in New York is sim
pie. If the Democrats in the city
and in the State of New York are in
earnest it is in their power to over
whelm Murphyism.
