American League Meeting En-
hvened Only by Rumors of
Many Trades and Deals.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE directors of
the American league met In the office
of the president, Ban Johnson, today,
awarded the 1912 pennant to the Boston
Red Sox, congratulated Jimmy Nc
Aleer, president. and Jake StahI, man
ager of the club, and then adjourned.
They met a few minutes later at the
Congress hotel and went into session as
a league
Baseball men were thick about the
Hobbies OF the Congress. Among them
was Joe Tinker, shortstop of the Chi
cago Cubs, who hopes to succeed Hank
O'Day in the trouble department of the
Cincinnati Reds next year. Behind Joe
a trail of lesser lights followed.
It is whispered here that the Ameri-
can league will be called onto complete
the trade by which Murphy allows his
old star to so to Garry Herrmann's
club. President Navin, of the Detroit
Tigers, would not say that Corridor
was involved in the DEAL but he was
willing to intimate it as long as the in
timating- seemed to be reasonably good.
1t was also asserted by every one
about the American league meeting, OK
cept the magnates themselves, of
course, that a condition of the trade
was the release of Frank Chance so
that the former Cub pilot might become
hemsman for the New Z York High
landers.

AtIantanS Asked to Remember
Poor Riddles Who Face a
Cherries Christmas.

In twenty thousand Atlanta homes
there are boys and girls busily plan
ming for Christmas, wheeling fathers
and mothers into promises Of gifts es-
peclally desired and making lists of
presents to be sent equally fortunate
little cousins and friends.
Some Of them, children of the fash
ionable streets, will be satisfied with
nothing short OF gold watches or dia-
mond rings. Hundreds have set their
hearts on bicycles or ponies or a newly
furnished room for their very own
There will be dozens of automobiles
given to young scions Of wealthy fami-
lies; dozens of electric coupes for debu-
tante daughters of the rich. \
1t is to be a Christmas of luxury. a
season of sxtssvagance. Already the
shopping streets are nlIed with hurry
ing purchasers, already the show win
dows are being stripped of their
choicest offerings.
Homes That Fortune FORGOT.
But there are other homes-hundreds
and hundreds of them--where the only
Christmas planning is for another
bushel of coal--for another weeks rent.
There are homes where the father has
earned nothing for many weeks, where
widowed mother has been struggling
through the year to provide tht bare
necessities. They are not so far away
from the homes Of the fortunate, for
Atlanta has no clearly defined "slum
district" Some Of them may be just
around the corner from your own resi-
dence. There are many not q five
minutes walk away
And these homes have children, too
children with hearts just as hungry for
Christmas JOY as the boys and girls
within your own nursery; children who
face bravely the ordeal Of insufficient
food, and clothing worn thin and awk-
wardly patched; the suffering OF long
days and nights In half warmed, thin
walled rooms, but whose eyes MI with
tears at the thought OF Christmas
without Santa Claus.

CLAY APPEAL
FOR PARDON
REFUSED BY
GOVERNOR
Executive Considers the Case
Far Into Night, But Finds
No Cause for Action.
PRISONER FOUND SANE
IN THE FINAL INQUIRY

Governor Joseph M. Brown will not
interfere in the case against Robert
Lee Clay, sentenced to die on the gal
lows in the Fulton county Tower Fri
day of this week.
The governor, as he promised the
doomed mans sister and father, went
into the record OF the case against
Clay exnaustively He could find moth
ing in 1t by way of extenuating circum-
stances.
To the executive mind, ii appears as
if Clay's crime was cold blooded, ma
licious and premeditated murder He
could find no justification for mercy or
clemency in the case.
Therefore, he authorized the an
nouncement that he win permit the law
to take its course Friday.

He said the siayer's ply seal condi-

Clay's pulse was found to be above

max this was due TO suppressed ex-
element. anxiety and dread.
Asked by the TALLER if he thought Clay
could break his long silence and speak,
DR.. Ellis replied that he could. He said
he was sure Clay is sane, and that the
attitude of silence is merely feature
of the role Clay is acting"
Dr. Ellis explained that he thought,
as a matter of justice to the doomed
man, another examination should be
made. in order to determine Clay's men
tai condition at this time.
Clay did not utter a sound during the
examination. When told by Inside

Considers Case
Far Into Night.

The governor was deeply touched by
the petition made to him by Clay's sis
ter and father Tuesday. The case came
to aim direct fEana the hanaas al sthss
people concerned. 1t never has been
passed upon by the supreme court--it
never has been referred to the prison
Commission.
The entire responsibility was thrown
upon the executive. and he sat far into
last night thinking of the case and
considering it.
1t vas well after l o'clock today be-
fore he definitely made up his mind
what his duty is.
Clay must hang Friday, unless some
extraordinary circumstance arises in
the meantime to save him. And this
seems most unlikely,
81 can see no reason for interfering
in the Clay case" was the terse and
only statement the governor gave out
for publication
That Robert L. Clay is feigning in
sanity: that his mental condition is
normal, and that he could break his ST.
lence if he would is the finding of DR..
James n. Ellis, alienist, who called at
the Tower today and made 4 thorough
examination of the wife slayer doomed
to die on the gallows on Friday, De-
cenber 10.
Dr. Ellis made his examination fol-
lowing written request from Attorney
William NJ. Smith, counsel for the con-
demned man. Similar requests were
made Of Dr. James B. Baird and DR.,
Samuel H. Green, who, with DR.. Ellis,
examined Clay prior to his trial, the
first part Of last June, and declared him
sane at that time Whether these two
experts will make a further examina-
ton has not been learned,
DR.. Ellis declined to give out a state
nent, but, in a report to Jailer Broad
max, immediately following the exami-
nation. he pronounced Clays mental
condition the same as it was when the
first examination was made.

Mr.. Glass played an important part
IN Wilson'S nomination. He was a soph

The ires Of the Civil war had not died
out in those days, and at the great
Eastern university the Southerners
|kept largely to themselves. Practically
|al the Southern students were quar-
tered in the same house. Among them
Tas Mr., Glass. Wilson came a year

EMULATE WEYlER'S TACTICS
Mexican General is Conducting a Wig
orous Campaign Against inhab-
ltants Of Rebel Villages.

Mexico City.-Uprisings were re-
ported Friday from points near Fuerte
Badiraguto and Eldva, in the state of
Sonora, and from Haciendas in ia
lisce, as we'll as portions of the state
Of Morelos, where General Robels is
conducting vigorous campaign
against Zapatistas.
Emulating the methods Of General
Weyler in Cuba, the village of Nexpa,
comprising seventy houses, was burn
ed under his direction Friday and the
Inhabitants marched into Jojutla. The
cavalacade consisted of 131 women
and children and but five men. At the
village of Chinamecca a large band
Of rebels were repulsed by small
detachment Of federals after an all
day battle. The losses have not oeen
reported.
Reports received from Suernavaca in
,cluded the fact that Colonel Hobles,
commander Of the rurales, defeated a
few days ago near Jojutla, lost thirty
nine men killed. The federals appear
to be gaining ground in that region,
but fights within six miles Of Cuerna-
vaca continue almost daily.
