FIFTH REGIMENT TO
HAVE LOUD ZOUAVE
FULLDRESS OUTFITS

The Fifth regiment, all Atlanta
troops, Will burst into the full glory of
brand new full-dress uniforms with
in n few weeks. The regalia will be
something to make you stop, look and
listen, too.
A dark purple Zouave uniform vir-
tually has been decided upon. though a
brilliant green is being considered.
The leggings and shoes will be of white.
The trousers. closely resembling a ha-
rem skirt and baggy enough to use up
several yards of material will be tuck
ed into the short leggings just above
the ankles.
The head-gear has not yet been
agreed upon, as the Turkish fez which
usually accompanies a Zouave outfit
gives no protection against the sun.
A cap similar to that of the French
soldiery or helmet wrapped with a
flowing scarf of white may be adopted.
But anyway the next parade in which
the Fifth regiment appears will make
the Old Guard review of last summer
look like funeral procession

MACON MAN KILLS
SELF IN CHICAGO
Horace Adams, Prominent in
Georgia City, Commits Sui
eide in Hotel.

CHICAGO, Sept. S-Horace H.
H. Adams, of Macon, Ga. killed him
self today in his room in the Planters
hotel here. He shot himself through
the temple A note found in the
room asked the police to notify his
father to take charge of the body.
From pa pers in Adams possession it
was found that the young man was a
member of the firm Of c. NJ. Adams &
Son, insurance brokers OF Macon.
Adams had been at the hotel since
August 2e. The reason OF his suicide
Is not known. Since his bill at the hotel
was left unpaid, and he apparently had
no money, police are inclined to the
theory that financial difficulties might
have been the cause
Attaches OF tho hotel, however, think
that the extreme heat OF the past few
days may have resulted In temporary
mental unbalAnce. Adams had com
planned of tho heat and had acted in
a peculiar manner for some daPs.

COURT UPHOLDS
PHONE VERDICT
Former President of Atlanta
Telephone Company Must
Pay Big Amount.

Judge Newman today upheld the
findings of the special master appoint
ed to hear the evidence in the action
brought against c. j. Simmons, former
president of the Atlanta Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
The masters findings, confirmed by
Judge Newman, required that the notes
involved be known as gold mortgage
instead of first mortgage notes and
that if Simmons defaulted in the inter-
est the whole obligation was to be-
come due at once.
Simmons was ordered to pay s139,-
92157, with six per cent interest from
February 1, 1908. receiving credit. how
ever. for two payments Of $13,125.
The complainant was also given the
right to immediate foreclosure with a
special lien on the amount of the de
cree. The Stromberg Carlson Compa-
ny brought suit May II, 1910, and a
long court fight followed with compli-
Gated hearings before the special mas
ter named by the court. The masters
findings constituted a victory for the
company suing and are upheld by
Judge Newman.
"A. b. COnklin, manager of the COM
pany, said today that the suit affected
Mr. Simmons personally and that it
would not change the status of the
company inaSmuch as the Stromberg
Carlson Company is already the larg-
est stakeholder.

Suffrage Big
Issue in Ohio

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept 3-Coo!
pleasant weather greeted the voters
who participated in the special cleo
ton on the AZ proposed constitutional
amendments throughout Ohio today
The voting during the forenoon indi-
Gated exceptional interest and it was
believed that 900 voters. or about
half Of the total electorate, would ex-
press themselves. The AZ proposed
amendments, if adopted will comprise
practically a new constitution for the
commonwealth and place the Buckeye
State in the lead as regards progress
sive organic law.
Women suffragists were very active
in the last hours Of their campaign
and carried their work right to the
voting booths today. Practically every
voting place in the larger Ohio cities
was the scene of their activity and
many thousands of pamphlets cards
and other literature was distributed
with personal request to the voter
not to forget the women. They eX-
pressed confidence in carrying the day
for equal suffrage.
Fight On Initiative.
There was much speculation as to
the fate of the initiative and referen-
dunn, next to women suffrage the most
important amendment TO be voted on.
A whirlwind campaign had been car
ried on both for and against its adop-
ton, and while both sides expressed
confidence in the outcome, there was
nothing defnite on which to base their
calculations 1t was believed that fl
would receive strong support in the
cities, while the country districts would
vote against it,
Other important proposals were those
for the minimum wage, the abolition OF
injunctions in all labor disputes. mu-
nicipal home rule, the short ballot,
licensed regulation of the liquor traffic
and the abolition Of capital punish
ment The voting booths were open
from $3.50 a. m. to 5:30 p. m.
