FOUND DEAD.
Fatal Termination of Drunken Spree
at Stonington.


at stonington.
SroNISoToN, April 30 Especially When
Adam Gaddis went to take up bis duties
as night wsschman on the Benvenue
quarry Sunday evening, he found the
dead body of Charles Williams on the
railroad track. One side OF his head and
neck was much bruised; also his stomach
and throat. A physician and coroner were
called, but failed to find any traces OF foul
play.
Williams had been drinking heavily
Saturday. Saturday evening he said he
was going to Crotch island after more
liquor, and was told by neighbor that
be bad had enough and to go to bed. Will
liams said be knew IL, but got another
fellow whom they call Johnny Finn, and
they departed. Finn also was intoxicated.
After getting to the island, Finn waited
for long time for Williams to meet him
and come back home, but as Williams did
not appear, Finn left word with man
that he had taken the boat and gone
home. This is the last known Of Williams
until he was found on the track dead.
1t is supposed that he visited some OF
the Italian shops till he was no longer
able to keep his balance, then started for
the boat and falling across tie the breath
was knocked from his body, and he must
have laid where he fell all Saturday night
and most Of Sunday. He was native Of
Stonington, unmarried, thirty-five years
OF age. A court Of inquiry was held this
afternoon, and some arrests made of wit
nesses both in the matter Of the death Of
Williams and the sale Of liquor.

Chapman Concert Tonight.


While the advance sale OF tickets for the
Chapman concert at Hancock hall this
evening assures large audience, there
are still few choice seats left.
Word comes from Bar Harbor, where
the concert was given last night, that 1t
was one OF the finest musical events ever
given there. From Portland, Old Town
and Bangor come similar reports, and
those who fail to secure tickets for this
evening are bound to be disappointed.
The public should bear in mind that
while this event Ia well worth attending
for its own intrinsic merits, 1t is given
under the auspices and for the benefit
of the local festival chorus, so that those
who attend will have the added sstisfac-
tion Of knowing that they are assisting
an organization that is worth encourag.
ing.
Those holding tickets are urged to be in
their seats at the hour OF opcning-s.15-
for the door will be closed at the begin
ming Of each number, and will remain
closed during the performance OF that
number. No one will be permitted to en-
ter the hall, or be shown to his seat, II he
happens to be within, while q number is
being played or sung.
During the past few weeks enough has
been said in the papers to give reasonable
assurance that the program, while OF the
highest grace, Is OF Q popular character,
easily to be appreciated by anyone who
has any music in his soul.
Tickets are on sale to-day at Smith Il
Hagerthy's clothing store until 9 O'Clock !;
after that at the door.

is LATEST ROOSEVELT
PHRASE FOR CRITICS

When the term "bonehead" was ap-
piled to Fred Merkle. first baseman of
the New York Giants, on his failure
to touch second base in the deciding
game Of pennant race, it was thought
that the last word in expression Of
feeble mentality had been said. But
in his speech at Gettysburg a few days
ago Theodore Roosevelt coined new
phrase which will take its place along
with Our patient of Bedlam." dee
lighted" MY hat is in the ring" ana
other famous savings of the Oyster Bay
citizen.
The new phrase was elected from
Mr.. Roosevelt when he was asked to
reply to the charge of Representative
John J. Fitzgerald, Of New York, that
Roosevelt in 1902 wanted to make per-
petual his job as president.
MIR. F1tzgerald's accusation, or the
implied accusation, is too preposterous
to need any serious discussion" said the
colonel.
Just as machinery can be expressed
in terms of horsepower. so some in
telects can be expressed in terms of
guinea pig power This kind of accusa-
ton can only be needed by men with
brains of about three guinea pig pow

PROMISE BROKEN
MARRIAGE IS VOID.
Court AnnuIs Union Where the
Husband InveigIed Catholic
Into Protestant Ceremony.

KINGSTON. n. Y, June 5.-Justice
Alden Chester, presiding in one of the
most remarkable cases ever tried be-
fore the supreme court, has granted an
introductory decree of annulment to
Mrs. Mary Light Davis.
The court holds that her husband,
James f. Davis. obtained her hand by
fraud and deceit in that he refused to
have a ceremony performed by a Cath
Ollie priest, after promising his bride to
do so.
Although they were married by a
Protestant clergyman in New Baiti-
more. n. Y on December Is, 1911. the
Davises parted soon after the cere-
mony. Her marriage unrecognized by
her church resulted in the excommuni-
cation of Mrs Davis, and she finally
appealed to the courts to have the
union declared void
Judge Chester finds that while the
plaintiff was away from home and her
parents. and while she was sick and ILL.,
Davis, urging her beyond her power of
resistance. under the false deceitful
and fraudulent representations of his
intentions to marry her according to
the forms of her church. inveigled and
tricked her into marriage ceremony

If Contractors Refuse to Rem
edy the Defects City Will
Sue, Says VIM.

Mayor VIM and a committee of five
officials today inspected Ashby Street
school. and the mayor renewed his
declaration that the contractors will
be forced to better the condition of the
buildings or answer in the courts.
The visitors found that practically
the entire top floor of the building will
have to be replastered and that rain
blows through the window castings and
ruins the maple floors. Defects were
found in the general method of con
struction.
The finding will be brought to the

VIM will recommend that the contrac-
tors be ordered to bring the buildings
TO the contract standard. II they fail
to comply, he will ask the city attorney
to institute legal proceedings against
the builders.

Testimony Is Conflicting.
The Investigators have a mass of
conflicting testimony to consider w.
R. Daley and w. O. Stamps, members
of the board of education, said they
were convinced that the school build
ings had cost from $4,000 to SIS, 900
more than they should have cost. Ar
chitect h. f. Dougherty declared that
the buildings in Atlanta cost far less
per cubic foot than similar buildings in
other cities.
Alderman John S. Gambler declared
when the bond ordinance was adopted
the sum for new schools was cut from
the original estimate of 1854, 900 to
$500. 600, but an effort was made to
build the schools as originally planned.
He declared the schools are cheap, but
good work. considering the money
spent
Contractor George A. Clayton assert
ed when the officials were cutting down
the expense of the buildings they cut
out ferrying of the walls OF the Hill
Street and the Ashby Street school. and
that the inside plastering would have to
be torn down TO make proper repairs
at a cost of thousands Of dollars.

MISS BARNWELL |.
JEALOUS, SAYS
MISS SPAHR
Applicant Opposed by the Play
Parks Head Wins, and the
Latter May Resign.

Dan Carey, general manager of parks,
said today that Miss Mary Barnwell,
supervisor of Fairgrounds, would quit
as result of the action of the park
board yesterday in naming Miss Fannie
Spahr supervisor of Fairgrounds
1.-The park board has broken its con =
tract with Miss Barnwell," he said.
She did not seek the position and ac-
cepted 1t on condition that she be all
lowed to appoint her own assistants.
The board overrode her recommended
ton in electing Miss Fannie Spahr.'
Miss Barnwen is in Cleveland, Ohio,
attending a meeting of the American
Playground association. Mr.. Carey ex-
planned that her objection to Miss
Spahr was that Miss Spahr was not
amenable to authority.
The park board is in fever over the.
three cornered contest between Miss,
Barnwell, Miss Spahr and Mrs. Adele
Garter Ulm, the two latter being aspi-
rants to the place Of director of play
grounds.
Miss Barnwell recommended Mrs.
Ulm.
The park board yesterday elected
Miss Spahr -
Miss Spahr said to The Georgian to-
day:
Mrs. Ulm Withdrew.
The explanation l have received OF
Miss Bamwells objection to me was
that she said l was cleverer than She"
Mrs. Ulm withdrew from the contest
as soon as opposition to her developed
in the park board. Mr.. Carey with
drew her name at her request.
The park board does not wish ia
lose Miss Barnwell. and yet majority
Of seven to three voted for Miss Spahr.
The vote was:
For Miss Spahr-Wilby, Purkett.
Burnett, Bond, Pitts. Young and Coch-
ran
Against her-van Houten, Anderson
and Thomson.
All the other playground directors
recommended by Miss BarnweiI and
Mr. Carey were elected, Commissioner
NJ. B. Young making vigorous speech
urging the members of the board to
support the officials they had placed .tD.
charge of such matters, and not to play
politics.
The new regulations, as published in
The Georgian. for swimming and boat
ing in Piedmont park lake so as to
lessen danger OF drownings. wera
adopted. The one exception was to al
low women in boats when accompanied
by men. The board also provided for 9

parents might learn the names OF VIC
tins, II more drownings occur.

Veryrich when their nuptials were cele-
brated in the spring.
In other words, she bore the name
and responsibilities of society editor
Then there was Rev John Roach
Straton. an honor graduate of Mercer
university. They say that when the
dean presented him with his diploma
there were enough medals attached to
him to salt first class Western gold
mine. for he was a young Demosthe-
mes He could talk on any subject from
Maine to Madagascar, and could talk
in such a strain that they would ac-
tually listen to him, which is some
power for latter day orator.
Well. the Rev John was Just out.
He was a ministerial sprout, so to
speak but he had the earmarks of
greatness already and people began to
pay attention to him. As such men
would do. he wandered into the news
paper Office one day and began to talk
to his old friend Colonel John Temple
Graves, who was also making good in
the speaking end of the game.
He Had News Item.
Now a newspaper Office is laid off
with an eye to democracy. That is,
everybody is right together The'man-
aging editor sits in vantage point
where he can watch the star reporter
come in half hour late every morn
ing. If this were not fact there might
not have been a romance. But it was
fact.
So
Rev Straton met Miss Hillyer--tE
give her news item. She was small
and dark and pretty, and the Rev. John
Roach had an eye for something else
than ora tory The memory of Miss
Hilyer stuck with him and-they were
married shortly
AS is often the case, their romance
didn't end with marriage. They have
been as happy as two birds of spring
and they have four children to make
them all the happier. Rev. John Roach
rose rapidly in his profession and is
now pastor of one of the largest Bap-
fist churches in Baltimore
