ing her husband, Eugene II. Grace. upon
the manner Of her greeting to him when
she saw the wounded man for the first
time after he was found upon his blood
stained bed last March.
What are these things they are saying
about mel" were the wife's first words,
as quoted by Morris Priolieu. a states
witness. while the jury was excluded.
DAISY. why did you shoot me-" was
the husbands reply, quoted similarly by
Priolieu. a close friend Of Grace.
Just after the jury had been sent out
Solicitor General Dorsey had indicated
the states purpose Of getting such testi-
mony before the jury. when he said:
I'VE expect to show that Daisy Grace
faced her husband and upbraided him for
accusing her Of the deed when not a
living soul had intimated to her that she
was suspected or accused Of the crime. W
How Mrs. Daisy Grace once declared
that n anybody had shot Grace, II was
-. c." a negro butler, was recited on
the stand by Mrs. s. L. Hill. Grace's
mother.

home In Atlanta

Grace Weakened by Heat.

Grace was in the courtroom In the
morning, but the heat weakened him. and
he was not brought back In the afternoon.

Jury tomorrow night or Thursday. The
defence has not intimated whether Mrs
Grace will take the stand
Mrs. Grace came TO court unaccompa-
MED. She wore a black silk dress. a new
Partisan "pompadour pannier" creation.
Her head was almost completely hidden
from the curious crowd. mostly women,
by an expansive Panama hat.

her a black dress. which she had brought
with her In her suitcase. The defence

For the rest OF the day. the second OF
the trial. the defence prevented every
effort OF the state to get the interview
before the jury. Grace's mother. Mrs. 8.

Mrs. Grace had had no opportunity TO
hear that she was suspected until after
she had seen her husband.
Through Mrs Hill the state brought out

Blamed Negro Butler.

Grace declared ut was J. G. (the negro
butler). Yesterday he nearly beat Martha
70 death, and Gene told him II he touched
her again he would wear his cane out on
him"
Mrs. Hill said Daisy asked her where
Eugene had been shot Through the lung,
she replied. When later che told Daisy
that Eugene was still alive and had been
taken TO the hospital. Mrs. Hill said
Daisy inquired as to the proximity OF the
lungs and the heart. and remarked that
she did not know anybody who had been
shot through the lungs could live.
Asked as TO whether Mrs. Grace had
ever spoken about insurance. the witness
said Mrs. Grace remarked in November,
1911. that she thought Gene should have
his life insured for her protection" Next
month. Mrs. Hill said, her daughter told
her that Grace had had his life insured
The witness was asked: why didn't

with mr. clifford, the same way he
done with the judge
he said his home was whatever
place he happened to wake up
suntimes after he had been
slumbering heavily for 3or 4 days
it would take him little while to
find out where he had moved to,
but that dident make no differ
ence. one place was as good as
another if there was a bar IN it
so one morning a couple of
years ago he woke up in a hotel in
atlantick City, and there was a
fair yung bride by his side
soon as she woke up she told
him all about their having been
married two days before
he couldent remember nuthing
about it, but as she had a certifi-
cate and was also a pretty good
locker, he decided he probly had
done as good job of marrying
while drunk as he could if he had
been sober, and he let it go at that

Gate City is SO desirable that no other
city had a chance
Somehow this doesn't seem to be the
case.
few years ago Atlanta was the
whole show" Then came the first
and only automobile show and ii fizzled
Pretty soon Atlanta's automobile bust
ness began to be given to other cities
Atlanta branches through which the
whole South were served We're cut dow r
to mere Georgia branches.
And it didn't take very long for At
lanta automobile folks to find out that
Atlanta was the Southern center of the
automobile world largely by chance and
that unless there vas hustling done
other Southern cities would take At
lanta's auto business away from her.
Last years show was one effort to
keep Arlanta's prestige above that OF
other Southern cities. This years show
will be another effort
But in the meantime Atlanta is wax
ing up to a realization that the auto
mobile business is a big thng-a lre-
mendously big thing.
But at that, Atlantans have lot Of
realization yet coming to them.
For instance. awhile back. in an eff
fort to guarantee the success of race
meet, which was not to. be run for
profit, certain members of the Auto
mobile and Accessory association went

ployees engaged in the mechanical part
of the work and the high class of men
employed al statesmen, these figures are
moderate indeed And they total 81

They Rent Residences, Too.
The location in Atlanta Of the hes,
part of the Southern automobile bust
ness means more to the real estate men
than merely the renting of a lot Of
sales rooms garages and the like
For the 1850 persons connected with
these automobile concerns occupy some
thing like 500 dwellings of various sorts.
Taking the average rental of these
dwellings, at $50 d month-and any
body who has ever rented dwelling in
Atlanta knows that is reasonable
enough-it runs up to the tidy sum Of
$2SS,000 year paid into the pockets Of
Atlanta real estate owners And not
one-tenth Of it would be turned loose
if Atlanta We're not the automobile
headquarters of the South
Twenty Millions For the Banks.
Another thing the location of the big
automobile business Of the South in At
lanta means is that $40. 600. 600 a year
goes through the Atlanta banks on this
one account. And. If the truth could
be ascertained. the sum would be more
likely to run 80 per cent higher than
10 per cent lower. In the tire business
alone, $5,000o00 year changes hands.
and that sum all goes through Atlanta
banks If Birmingham or Nashville
We're the automobile headquarters in

IN some of its branches.
What They Spend in Rents.
These 125 individuals and firms and
corporations in the automobile business
spend $312,50 yearly for rentals.
Does that seem large?
Well, it isn't
In the automobile business 1t is nee
essary to put up a good front and to oc-
cupy expensive locations, You are doing
business with people of means, and it
doesn't pay to occupy cheap locations.
Automobile folks know that-and it has
made Peachtree street in that section
which used to be the boarding house
district" but which is now automobile
row.
Locations on Peachtree street come
high. 1t is reported that the Buick
Company will pay $4,000 a year for
the handsome new building il is having
erected At least four other companies
-Studebaker Ford. Mitchell and United
States Motors-pay $4,000 to $4,000 a
yea. SO it would be moderate indeed
to say that the average yearly rental
paid by every concern in the automobile
business is $4,000. Multiply this by 10
concerns and see what you get
The Matter of Salaries.
The 125 automobile concerns in At
lanta employ, on an average. ten men
each. That makes a total Of l ,250 per
sons employed in Atlanta. The yearly
payroll that goes into the pockets of
these men is two and a third million
dolIars-virtually every cent of which is
spent in Atlanta or invested here.
1t is doubtful if ,250 will begin to
cover the number of people employed
in Atlanta in the automobile business.
But estimating ten employees to each
concern. which would be liberal for
some and only represent a small pro-
portion of those actually employed by
others, We reach figures that are not
far from accurate.
1t is possible to estimate very close
ly the money paid these men. AT least
80 to - of them receive an average Of
$4,000 q year They are branch mana
gers. heads of concerns and the like At
least one branch manager in Atlanta is
taking down $1,000 year Another
will clean up 10000 There are a
slather in the $4,000 to IS 600 class. So
it is fair 10 estimate that there are 90
who receive $4,000 a year. The rest Of
them are estimated al $50 month av-
erage. OF course several hundred re-
ceive sums vastly in excess Of this. On
the other hand, there are plenty of ne
gro garage helpers and minor clerks

Southern Branches and Auto Agencies Have Done
Much For Atlanta--Iheir Coming Show Will
Do Much For the Trade and the City,
By PERCY H. WHITING.

There will be an automobile SHOW in
Atlanta this fall.
The dates are November l6 to %
The place will be the Atlanta Audi
torium-A rmory
The object Will be threefold: % To
show new car models CO to advertise
Atlanta to the South and to the world
as the headquarters of the automobile
business in the South. and CD to wake
Atlantans UP to a realization of what
the automobile business means to At
lanta
When the Atlanta Automobile ana
Accessory association went before the
Proper Authorities" last year and
asked for the free use of the AuditO-
rum for the purpose of giving an auto
mobile show the Proper Authorities"
couldn't see it.
I'VE ought to get $500 week for the
use of the building" they said.
Thereupon George W, Hanson presi-
dent of the A A. and A. A. was threat
ened with hydrophobia.
DO YOU gentlemen realize that We
are going into our pockets" ne inquired.
"to give a show that will advertise At
lanta? And do YOU realize further that
because of the location in Atlanta of
various automobile branches two mil
lions dollars is spent in this city each
year?"
1t was astounding, and the Proper
Authorities" couldn't grasp it at all
The truth is, though, that President

Not one cent of this money would be

half a million dollars of this apprecia-

The show is being financed by the

Army Officer Gets :
Trial by Wolverton

NEW YORK. July A.-when the
Yankees took the field at American
League Park for practice yesterday
afternoon there appeared in their ranks
a newcomer who. by his playing and
worn-out uniform, attracted the atten-
ton of the Yankee rooters. The stran-
ger appeared to carry an unusual
amount OF weight for a ball player
about his mid-section, and 1t was
the general opinion, of the fans that he
was an old-timer who was merely try
ing to take on some OF his superfiuous
flesh by playing ball.
The newcomers appearance attracted
Wolverton who, after little thought,
agreed to give the officer trial. He
brought him into the dressing room,
where he received an old worn-out uni
form which he donned and went out
on the field to show his wares to the
manager.
On inquiry one found that the stran-
ger was none other than Lieut.. George
w. Beavers. jr., u. 8. A., a graduate
of West Point Military Academy, who
for several years was stationed in the
Philippine Islands. Beavers has lust
come home on a six months furlough,
and intends to spend his vacation, as
It were, in attempting to break into
the big league.
Lieutenant Beavers is a native Of
Brooklyn. His family is prominent So
cially in Borough Park. Lieutenant
Beavers brother, Charley (Curley)
Beavers. was an athletic star several
years ago at Cornell. His sister, Gene
We've, also was well known at Adelphi
College Brooklyn.
