Parade Mile Long.
The line of march was more than q
mile in length and required almost
an hour to pass. The crowd upon the
streets was the largest that has been
witnessed during the encampment, as
all business was suspended by all
auxiliary associations during the time
Of the parade.
Beginning in the residence district
in the northern part Of the city, the
course of march extended over the
principal streets Of the business sec
ton.
The veterans were in line two
hours. but protected from the sun by
lowering clouds and quickened by the

signs of fatigue.

CONFEDERATE VETS
SIGHTED BY G. AR.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept 17,-Through
some sort of inexpicable blunder, out
of which considerable feeling has
raisen to mar the pleasure of the
present G. A r. reunion in this city
no Confederate troops marched in the
big parade to-day
Arrangements had been made, OF
were thought to have been made
whereby n b. Forrest Camp Of Con-
federate Veterans was to occupy a
place of honor in to-Gay's line OF
march. representing the ancient enc
mics OF the G. A. r.. now the organi-
zation's cherished friends
When it came to making up the
line, however, Notwithstanding the
fact that y. B. Forrest Camp was
ready with a delegation to march
there was no place assigned to It,
Despite much hustling and busting
around, no one could be found with
authority or inclination, as the case
may have been, to remedy the stupid
blunder, or whatever it was.
The Confederates were plainly dis
appointed and not little disguised at
the turn of affairs. and did not hest

Beavers Refuses
Plea of Friends to
Enter Sheriff Race

Police Chief Beavers declared We'd
nesday that he had repulsed over
tpres to get him in tn race for
Sheriff of Fulton County. He said he
would stay Chief of Police of Atlanta
until he was fired.
Rumors have it that some of the
friends of Beavers wanted him to
run for Sheriff because they fear his
days as Chief of Police are numbered
and that the opponents OF his vice
crusade saw a chance to get rid Of
him and urged him to enter the race.
Gossip had it Wednesday that
County Commissioner Tull c. Waters

MAYOR WINS IN
JACKSONVILLE
POLICE ROW
Court Orders Acting Chief to
Reinstate PatroIman 0usted
by Roach.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 17.-May-
or Van c. Swearingen won the first
skirmish in his controversy with the
Board of bond Trustees for control
Judge Simmons, in the Circuit Court,
issued an alternative writ command
ing Captain Harry Hall to restore to
duty Clyde II. Dawson, a policeman.
This order seems to uphold Swear
ingen's contention that Chief of Po-
lice Roach was lawfully suspended by
him when Roach was promoted by the
Board of Bond Trustees from cap
tain.
Hall is not only commanded to re-
store Dawson to duty, but to return
to him his equipment or show cause
on Saturday why such action should
not be pursued.
This order also overrules the de-
murrer filed by attorneys represent
ing Hall that the captain is not the
acting head of the police department.
The application of Dawson for re-
instatement, to which Hall was made
party as recognized head of the po-
lice department and the judges or
der. make it appear certain that the
controversy between the Mayor and
the board may be settled within few
days as complete exposition of both
sides of the controversy will be heard
on Saturday when the case is called
again.
Dawson in his petition gives a his
tory of the case and of the conten-
lions of the Mayor, in his claim that
he is in control of the police depart
ment by virtue of his position and the
authority conferred upon him, both
by the charter and ordinance of City
Council

in a sensational affidavit, sworn to

Ward.
Bostwick has long been regarded
as the car of Jacksonville's city
government
Believing that. unless an eleventh
hour rally be made both Bostwick
and Henry Gailard. chairman OF the
police committee of Council face in
evitable defeat, the interests back of
both men have apparently abandon
ed Gaillard to his fate and are play
ing all their cards to bring about the
re- election of Bostwick at any cost.

determine the political ascendency Of
Tho. two local factions. interest in the
outcome outweighs every other po-
litical consideration here, and the
contest for control is being watched
with keenest interest.

to become Mayor one day.

It was not believed that the little girl had suffered any serious injury, as no bones were broken, but since the acci- dent there have been several evidences that the child is suffering internal in juries. It is because of this outcome that she is under constant attention. E. A hearing was held before Justice Wakeman Saturday in the civil action brought .by Eva Goebel of Greenfield Hill against Tony Kronski. Miss Goe- bel alleged that Tony had uttered sev- eral statements which were defama- tory to her character and which in- jured her in the sight of her friends. The court, not having completed the evidence, did not render a decision.
 As the present occupants of the building in Marine avenue which is in- tended for the new jail have a lease until August 1, the handsome new and comfortable cells which Sheriff E1wood has ordered will not be set up until that time.

It Is not real ball players, who engage in the fun along the beach, but those who for want of other diversion toss a ball about among themselves. Oft times their aim is not true and the ball strikes some innocent person walking along the beach. So many complaints had been registered that the seIectmen had to take action.
 There seemed to be misunderstand- ing that the seIectmen had prevented Sunday ball. As stated above it is not 1t is a Sunday violation that the play ing is prevented. If the officials were to stop Sunday baseball they would put a damper on the doings of the Westport team which plays only on Sundays As those games are conduct ed orderly and not for commercial gain they will be allowed to continue as long as they go on in that manner.

ACCOUNTING IN FAIRFIELD
 : ESTATE DISCLOSES ERRORS
p1eted-Wi1Iians Hearing to Be Held Tomorrow
By our special correspondent.>

CBy our special coTresponden 1 Fairfield. July 28.-A hearing on the accounting of the estate of the late
 Lucy Mastrianna, who died in 1905, be- fore Judge of Probate Bacon Wake
 man on Saturday, disclosed several
 near errors and flaws in the work ings of Dominic Mastrianna of Green field Hill who was the first accountant of the estate The settlement of the | estate has been hanging fire for some time Several years ago the heirs
 made application before former Judge of Probate Fillmore s. Banks for the
 removal of Dominic Mastrianni. The request was granted and Attorney Paul Chapman of Bridgeport appointed in | his place. Recently the heirs and the present accountant made petition to the court for an accounting by the for mer accountant, who had never previ-
 ously filed any findings with the court. Evidence was produced showing that l the appraisal of the estate in 1905 at the time of the death was 5000 and that it was now $4,O0O. There were also several questions raised about sums of money in a Bridgeport bank.
 Judge Wakeman made findings all | lowing several claims against the es- 1 tate and disalloWing several others. It 1 is probable that the heirs may bring action in the higher courts against
 Mastrianni. The later conducts a gen eraI store in Greenfield Hill, dealing almost exclusively among Italians.
 Among them he is known as Pad rone.'' With a 'tpadrone' most of the 1aborers spend their earnings.
 The hearing in the reckless driving case of Daniel Williams will be held before Justice of the Peace Bacon Wakeman in the town court tomorrow morning. It is expected that there will be considerab bIe evidence taken, as counsel for the accused has a number of witnesses who declare that the Will Hams car which was in collision with the winants car at Main and Church streets on Sunday, June 15, was not being driven carelessly.
 The road at the beach for which the town recently appropriated $4O0 and which has been receiving treatment by men under SeIectman Elwood for the past several weeks was completed this afternoon Prior to the fixing over of the road it was almost impossible for teams while for autorno biles 1t was |. impossible Now that the road has
