Plus, in Tenth Year,
0utlives the Prophecy
That He'd Die in Nine
Pontiff Breaks the Sequence of
Nine-Y Year Periods Into Which
Life Has Been Divided.

LONDON. Aug. 6.-Pope Plus has
entered his tenth year as pontiff, and
the prophecy that he would sit in the
chair of st. Peter only nine years from
the date of his accession, August 4
1908, is proved without foundation.
Last year, when seriously Ill, he said:
at is no use, want to die now. My
nine years are up"
Before he left Venice to take part in
the conclave from which he came forth
pope, he said to his friends:
1T Is curious what influence the
number nine has on my life. Nine
years a school boy at Riese; nine years
a student at Padua; nine years a curate
at Tomolo; nine years a priest at Sal
zano; nine years a canon; nine years a
bishop; nine years a cardinal and pa
triarch of Venice"
But the charlatans who foretOld only
nine years as pope are unabashed. They
say that as he has risen to the highest
position in the church it is only right
he should rule longer. and therefore he
will now rule a number Of years; a
multiple of nine.

ALDERMAN GAMBLER
CALLS MEMBERS OF
COUNCIL "SHIRKERS"

Alderman John S. Gambler declared
on the floor of council yesterday that
the trouble with Atlanta's city govern
ment was that councilmen shirked their
duties, intrusting them to boards and
commissions.
The declaration followed some sharp
repartee between Alderman Gambler
and Alderman F. ]. Spratling Alder
man Spratling, who is chairman of the
council committee on hospitals, wanted
to take $4,000 and begin the construc-
ton of a $4,000 nurses dormitory for
the city tuberculosis sanitarium. When
he was ready to let the contract he
found that the $4,000 item in the budget
could not be spent until February, 1913,
when the entire amount would be pro-
vided. AS Alderman Gambler is chair
man of the finance committee, Alder
man Spratling wanted to know from
him why such strings were tied to the
apportionment."
The whole matter was referred to the
finance committee.

MADDOX SAYS ROME
INSURANCE co. SUIT
STINKS WITH FRAUD

ROME, GA, July 6.-"By your own
admission, this affair fairly stinks with
fraud" declared Judge Maddox from
the bench today, addressing Attorney
Dean, representing the defendants in
a receivership suit pending against the
Rome Insurance Company. You claim
your company is solvent" continued
Judge Maddox but only 20 per cent of
your capital stock has been paid in
and no effort has been made to collect
the rest. ! can not do anything else
but appoint a receiver.
Attorney Dean demanded a hearing,
so he could make a showing before a
jury.
You can go on with the case, but
you will have to do a lot to convince
me-" said the judge.
The taking of testimony began this
afternoon. John NJ. Miles, of Baxter.
Ga, brought the receivership action
to recover $4,000, which he claims to
have paid for stock in the company.

Case Recalls
Fielder Row.

Tennessee's efforts to secure the eX-
tradition of Jordan Massee, the noted
promoter and water power magnate of
Macon, aroused almost as much inter
est in Georgia as South Cardinals eff
forts to land Thomas B. Fielder, of At
lanta. Both requests for acquisitions
were turned down by the governor of
Georgia. Mr.. Massee was taken from
a train in South Carolina a few weeks
ago upon requisition papers from Ten
nessee and placed under a $4,000 bond.
The case is to be heard tomorrow.
Massee claims that the governor of
Tennessee is trying to use criminal laws
to collect debt.
1t has been suggested that Governor
Blease has been quick to aid Tennes-
see in catching Massee in the hope that
Tennessee will help Blease catch Tom
Fielder if that gentleman crosses the
line into that state. Mr.. Fielder is now
in Europe, and if he desires to get
back to Georgia without passing
through Tennessee or South Carolina
ne must use either the water routeAt to
Savannah or an extremely roundabout
course by rail.

First Bid $4,000.

When Steve Johnston prefaced his
call for bids today with the statement
that the property was the most valu-
able in the city of Atlanta and was
constantly increasing in value, there
were gathered about him men who
represented most of the capital and
property interests here. Many of them
made bids, others quietly watched.
The first bid was for $4,000, made by
G. M, Mckenzie. George Adair fol-
lowed with an added $1,000 and the
price rapidly rose. Mr.. Adair is under
stood to have been bidding for Ed In

The statement published this morn
ing and credited TO Chief Lanford OF
the detective department, that two jew
aIed earrings from tina loot taken from
the thieves had been presented to Judge
Gober's daughter, is absolutely untrue.
Friends OF Judge Gober cite his long
record on the bench and at the bar in
Georgia and attach little Importance TO
the charges made against him. They
are extremely bitter against the At
Ian+a detectives and the Pinkerton men
who have brought the charges against
his law partner and incidentally
against him.
George F. Gober had for many years
been solicitor general and then supe-
rior court judge of the Blue Ridge cir
cult. A few months ago he opened a
law office in Atlanta, and was asso-
ciated with Robert r. Jackson, former
Justice Of the peace.
When the diamond robbery, the theft
of solomon Gilsey's trunk filled with
about $4,000 worth of gems occurred,
the three thieves fled to various points.
George Wren went to Birmingham, Raul
to New York, and Roddy to another
point.
1t was shown at the time that Gober
went to Birmingham as the counsel for
Wren. and met his client there. Chief
Lanford on the trail of Wren, says he
met Gober in Birmingham. Wren was
brought back, with Gober acting as his
counsel. but the loot was concealed

went yesterday afternoon to the
office of R. R. Jackson, partner
of Judge Gober, armed with a pos

say he recovered jewels to the

of the loot awarded George Wren
in the division Of the spoils.
The Jewels were not taken from
Judge Gober's office. They were In
safe in the office of Mr., Jackson.
Statements from the Pinkertop
agency indicate that the law firm, or its
members, was acting in the defense of
one of the trio of diamond thieves and
for the prosecution of the other two. A
contract on file in the office of the Pink
erton National Detective agency shows
that the firm was retained by the Pink
