him with obtaining money under false

arrested on this second warrant, after

that she has never seen any profits nor
been able to get back her money, Brown
says he was not given time to make
any money, as Mrs. Cumble had him ar
rested just as soon as he opened his
first show III Cincinnati.
When Brown left here he was accom-
panied by his wife, Mrs. Blanche Brown,
and Miss Nora Leahy, of New York, who
did some stunts at Piedmont park. They
remained in Cincinnati when Brown was
brought here.

for her startling aquatic feats at Pied

ASK GOVERNORS HELP

From out the mass of mail coming
into the executive offices this morning
Governor Brown found one he set aside
for future consideration.
Frankly, the governor does not know
exactly how to answer it, there is so
much Of the unconsciously humorous
and pathetic about it,
1t is from an ignorant negress, who
signs herself Pauleane Brinson, and it
is a petition for aid and assistance in
getting from Georgia to Africa, where
the woman believes peace and plenty
await her coming
The letter reads as follows:

Atlanta high school girls are not
overdressed. neither are they painted
and powdered to excess" according to
Miss Jessie Muse, principal Of the
Girls High school, today Miss Muse
was quick to defend her 663 students
against the charge of immodest dress
ing made so often recently against
young women seen in the "Peachtree
Parade" which has so long been a
famous feature Of Atlanta life.
There are very few of our girls who
ever come to school in anything but
proper Dress continued Miss Muse,
Yes, sometimes one of the teachers
notices a girl whose collar is turned in
too far or whose clothes are cut in a
fashion too clinging for good taste, and
sometimes there is one wearing too
much powder or a touch of artificial
color But whenever this occurs the
teacher speaks to the girl quietly and
privately and that girl doesn't offend
again. We try to impress her with
good reasons. why she should be more
careful. yet not in way to hurt her
feelings. And I've always found that
this sufficed,"
Opposes Uniforms.
The proposal that high school girls
wear cap and gown or some other dis
tinctive uniform does not appeal to the
principal
I'VE want our students to appear on
the streets just as Atlantans, not
branded as high school girls" said
Miss Muse college boys are often
guilty of improprieties on the street
and in public places because they feel
that everybody recognizes them as a
party of collegians and will laugh at
escapades which would be frowned
upon if INDUCED IN by individuals. If
we dress our girls in a distinctive uni
form. they might have the same ten
dency to larking that college students
often have"

Sheridan, Ark, April 20.-Jufe Nall is responsible for the following story and says he saw the occurrence with his own two eyes:
 A theatrical troupe, which had just closed an engagement at Pine Bluff and which was on its way to Hot Springs, arrived on the P. B. & W. train last Thursday, the actors and ac- tresses occupying their own private car.
 When the train pulled in to Sheri- dan, number of the players alight- ed from the car, with intention of strolling about our beautiful Union Station until time for the train to leave. Among the crowd was an ac- tress who carried a lap dog.
 Fido appeared to be restless, so his mistress placed him on the ground, with the idea of giving him little exercise. Just as she placed the gen eleman on the ground, he spied one of the razor back hogs idly roofing

utes before the Titanic sank, when it was seen that they would inevitably be lost if they stayed longer at their work trying to keep the fires in the boilers and the pumps at work. The lights burned to the last because the dynamos were run by oil engines
 The story of what inquiries were sustained by the Titanic in striking the Ge that caused her to sink, has yet to be told and may forever re main a mystery. Did the Titanic strike head on or did same sharp Rnifeslike edge of berg shear of her Side or bottom?
 Second Officer Lightholder says that the Titanic did not break in two but made her dive diagonally into the sea and that when half. way under the waves there were two explosions which he believed to be the boilers.
 Happy were the members of the ri tanic survivors of the crew as they prepared to depart this morning on the Laplander. Generous merchants and others had fitted them out with clothes, hats, brushes and razors and numerous other things for their use together with sums of money for their immediate needs. Others sums of money will be sent later by the re- lief committees.
 J. Bruce Ismay discussed with in reviewers today ;he work of the Sen ate Investigating committee, which he characterized as 'brutally unfair He said:
 "I cannot understand this senatorial inquiry. They ale going at it in manner that seems unjust and the in justice lies heaviest upon me. Why, I cannot even prctect myself by hav- ing my counsel ask questions. Don't misunderstood me by thinking mean questions calculated to twist witness ses up.
