HANDICAP CLASS MEET

Friday, on the High school grounds
will occur the first event of the track
season. It will be in the form of a
handicap meet open to all the classes
of the High school and from the in
terest shown by the large number of
boys who have been training for the
work during the past ten days, it
promises to be good meet and well
worth seeing.
BY the handicap scheme the young
athlete has a fair chance to compete
and perhaps, win over the experien-
ced one, and all the events will be
contests between the boys as to de-
velopment over past records Benefit
handicaps, based on past records and
ability have been computed for each
contestant so that in this meet Fri
day, the little boy will have enough
head start to bring him up to the
finish along side the faster and older
boy who starts the race at the scratch.
In the jumps and weights, inches and
feet are to be added to the contest
ants actual performance, to be his
record for the event in this meet.
On the whole it will be an all
around good time meet No body can
tell how it will end, no class has it
settled in anyway. Every contestant
entered, is in it to do his best and
have a good time in doing so All
things, or conditions, that could in
any way cause unpleasantness have
been entirely removed. The meet is
free to anyone and the public is in
vited to attend. The events:

WOMAN IS ARRESTED
AS SLAYER Of men
Charged With Sending Poison
in Whisky to Two Resi-
dents of Birmingham.

ATLANTA. July 16-Mrs. Ida Schmidt.
yesterday afternoon on a warrant from
Birmingham. charging her with killing
Guy R. Coleman and Stephen Strickland.
who took poison in whisky sent to Cole
man through the mails December 20. 1910
Mrs. Schmidt is the second woman ar
rested in connection with the death of
Coleman and Strickland. tragedy which
has stirred Birmingham both by reason
of the prominence of the victims and the
unusual manner in which they were
killed.
The first suspect arrested was Miss Ollie
Gunter, nineteen-year-old girl of Elber-
ton, Ga. who was found In Jacksonville.
Fla. Saturday and taken to Birmingham.
Miss Gunter was released yesterday.
The arrest of Mrs. Schmidt followed i'm
mediately on the release of Miss Gunter.
Both Mrs. Schmidt and Miss Gunter are
members of prominent families.
Mrs. Schmidt is separated from her hus-
band, and both she and Ollie Gunter were
residing in Birmingham when Coleman
and Strickland received the whiskey that
killed them. The detectives are working
on the theory that jealousy prompted
the deed.
Coleman and Strickland were we'll to
do and widely known. Officers have been
at work ever since the strange death of
the two men and finally obtained informa-
tion that led to the issuance of warrants
for the women.
Coleman and Strickland were together
In the formers Office when the postman
handed Coleman a package. 1t contained
bottle Of whisky. Coleman opened the
bottle, and both he and Strickland drank.
In ten minutes both were dead The pack
age was addressed I'm feminine hand. De-
tectives refuse to disclose the evidence
against Mrs. Schmidt.

SENATOR ROOT WARNS
AGAINST NO-TOLL PLAN
Says United States May Be
Compelled to Pay All Back
to Foreign Countries.

That the United States may become
liable in the sum of many millions of
dollars should 1t provide in the Panama
canal bill for free tolls for American
ships passing through the canal and for
tolls on ships of other nations was the
argument made in the Senate yesterday
against the free ship provision of the
measure.
The two senators who spoke, Mr.. Root
of New York and Mr.. Burton of Ohio,
were emphatic supporters of Great Brit
ain in its protest that the provisions OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty would be vio-
lated If Congress specified that foreign
ships should pay toll to pass through
the isthmian canal while American ships
could pass through free Of charge.
Senator Root declared that such q pro-
vision would be ''unjustifiable discrimina-
ton" against other nations And he con-
tended that should the decision Of The
Hague tribunal-for he fully expects the
question to go there-be adverse to the
United States. 1t would involve this coun-
try in the refunding Of millions of dol
Senator Root took the position that the
question was one which the United States
could not refuse to arbitrate.
Suggests Action Be Postponed.
Senator Stone suggested that the ques-
tions raised were so important that it
might be well to postpone action until the
next session Of Congress. Mr.. Root re-
piled that such course was desirable as
far as this provision in the canal bill is
concerned. There are features of the
proposed legislation. however. he said.
that need to be acted upon at this session.
At the outset of the debate In the Sem
ate. Senator Burton declared his opposi-
ton not only to the House provision for
free passage of American coastwise craft,
but to the Senate committees proposed
exemption of vessels of American registry
from tolls where the owners agree to dis
pose of them to the government in emer-
He said a clear enunciation of Amer
ican policy was laid down after a con-
troversy In 1883 when the United States
after threatening retaliation by a con-
occasionally authorized proclamation was
accorded access to artificial waterways
north of the Canadian boundary line on
the same terms as the Dominion citizens.
He contended that American policy should
not change like a Kaleidoscope to suit
changing interests. He agreed that an
exception might be made in the interest
of American warships.
Senator Burton said he regarded the
Canal enterprise commercial and not
strategic.
