More Widows Interested.

Evidence unearthed by detectives indicates Morrison may have left another widow in Evanston, another in La Sale, H., and still another one in Harrington. Ill
 The three women in Chicago lived on the three corners of the triangle" all on the same car line-without other The man of many widows was constantly in touch or communication with all three. Some days he could not spend nucn time "at home,' but he always said his business demand ed the time and he was piling up the dollars for after years.
 Sometimes he would swing off the car in front of the residence of his fiancee and skip into the house, clutch ing his transfer in his hand. He would take a hurried kiss from the promised bride and swing on the next car on his way to the next home-ail on the same fare.
 Under the name of Thompson, the man posed as a claim adjuster, but for seven years he Kept Mrs. Thomp- son in the dark regarding his place of business or his transactions
 Under the name of Morrison he rep. resented himself as a real estate man, but for three years kept Mrs MOrri- son in ignorance of his business loca- ton or commercial activities.
 By day the man was manager of a rooming house at 362-364 West Chi cago avenue but he never was seen there at night. To Mrs. McDivitt he posed as the owner of the rooming house which he rented from the George G Newbury Real Estate com pany.

Affidavits Are Not Excluded.
 The attorneys said that affidavits stating specific occasions on which the witnesses thought that Roosevelt was ! drunk were not excluded by the rul. Ing It Is understood that some of NeWetts affidavits included newspa per clippings, and by this ruling they are inyalidated. This point was erati. flying to the coloners counsel. and on the basis of it Roosevelt supporters argued that the decision was a vie. tory for their side.
 At the session of the trial Charles Willis Thompson, reporter for a New York newspaper, swore he went with Roosevelt on his 11,000-mile trin in the last presidential campaign. his assignment being to watch the colonel and describe his actions and conduct for his papers readers. He saio he was with the colonel almost constant ly and that he always was sober: that at no time was there the slight est evidence that he had been drink ing.

 Newett Expected to Testify.
 It was expected that Newett might take advantage of the opening in the court ruling to take the witness stand and testify as to his sources Of intol nation regarding the colonels gener- al reputation.
 Judge Flanigans ruling follows: 
 The Michigan rule is very well set. tied that the general reputation of the plaintiff is a matter that the de- fendant may dispute-that is his gen. eral reputation previous to the pubi- cation of the alleged libelous article and evidence of that nature will be received.
 The other question is, as whether or not the defendant may show that other newspapers published similar charges and may show that it was re- ported among men that the plaintiff was guilty of similar offenses. The court is very well satisfied that the defendant is not entitled to that tes- timony and no testimony of that na- ture will be received"

WOMAN BETRAYS
GOTHAM POLICE
GRAF 7 PLOT
re-Tappers' League Scandal
RivaIing Becker Case, Said to
Involve Two High Officials.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Revelations
made by a woman have betrayed a
big wire tapping graft plot here in
which at least two high police Of
ficials figure and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are said to be in
vOlved. A scandal more startling
than that Centering about Lieutenant
Becker is expected to develop.
The woman accuses the high police
officials of having worked in league
with the wire tappers, who them
selves have made confession, in
which they name two prominent
members of the New York depart
ment
The scandal first became known
outside the District Attorneys office,
when Captain Dominick Riley, known
as the honest cop retired from the
department on a pension of $1,000 a
year Heart disease was given as
the cause of the retirement.
Right after his retirement Riley
received a subponae from District
Attorney Whitman to go before the
Grand Jury and tell what he knows
of the wire tapping graft.
Whitman, it was learned to-day,
has positive evidence that on civilian
police official received $4,000 a month
from the wire tappers and per cent
of the proceeds of their SWindle. An
other official received 10 per cent.
Several of the wire tappers have con-
fessed.
Among these is George McRae, who
was arrested in Los Angeles because
Of a wire tapping swindle, by which
S. r. Jones, of Pittsburg, lost $4,000.

COLLIER SAYS
HIS BROTHERS
CHEATED HIM
Taking of Testimony in $45O,OOO
viii Suit Begins in ST.
perior Court.

The taking Of testimony in the suit
of Sanford G, Collier against his
brothers, John w. and George w.
Collier, executors of the $3.50 600 es-
tate of their father Wesley G. Col
ler. in which he seeks to obtain S45.-
900 which he claims is his rightful
and legal interest in the estate, was
begun before jury in Judge w. D..
Ellis division of the Superior Court
Friday.
Sanford Collier, the plaintiff in the
case occupied the stand during the
greater part of the morning session
of the court, and reiterated the SEN
sational charges he made against his
brothers when the case was first
started several years ago. At that
time a judge of the Superior Court
sustained demurrer against him and
he carried the suit to the Supreme
Court, which reversed the decision of
the lower court and remanded the
case back for jury trial.
Collier charges that his brothers,
taking advantage of his ignorance of
land values, deceived him as to the
value of his one-tenth interest in the
600, Of which only $4,000 was in cash.
Of the remaining $4,000 he asserted,
$4,000 was in a certain acre of land,
and the rest in long time notes that
bore no interest. He sold his inter
est he declared when he was penni-
less. as the result of dissipation and
a business failure.
He charged also that when he found
he was penniless he asked his broth
ers for a loan, and that they refused
to let him have it. Later, he said,
they offered to purchase his interest
in their fathers estate, and he charges
that they tricked him into selling also
his share of his mothers estate, which
he tried to claim when she died. His
brothers, he charged, kept him in ig
norance of the value of the land be-
longing to the estate, and told him it
was worth practically nothing.
The land in question was 500 acres
located between Buckhead and Peach
tee Creek. Sanford Collier charges
that before they bought his interest
his brothers sold some of the land for
s. 900, without informing him of the
transaction, and later sold the balance
Of he property for S375O00.

AtIantans Are Beginning to Re-
spond to The Georgian's APP
peal for Poor Youngsters.

With committee Of six well known
Atlanta men in charge of the work,
Atlantans are beginning to respond
to the first call for the Empty Stock
ing Fund issued by The Georgian.
Many have harked back to the time
when they were children; they have
remembered the joy that filled their
hearts when Santa Claus brought
them all the desires of their heart,
and they have remembered also the
pangs of sorrow they suffered when
they awoke on a giftless Christmas
morning, and they have sent in
checks and money that have given
the fund a good start.
But the question is this:
Are YOU going to remember?
Make Their Christmas Happy
Are YOU going to do anything TO
bring JOY and happiness into the
hearts Of the hundreds Of Atlanta lit
tie boys and girls whose Christmas
will be dark and gloomy unless they
are helped? Their parents are poor
every cent the bread Garner makes
must go for the bare necessities Of
life-there Is no money to buy the few
toys and the candy and nuts. and the
other things that make Christmas a
foretaste of Heaven I'd the young
sters.
Slip a quarter or a dollar, or any
thing you feel like giving. into an
envelope and mail It to the Christmas
Editor of The Georgian. If you
haven't time to do that, Just stop
in at No. 20 East Alabama street on
your way downtown and hand in the
money, simply saying that it's for
the Empty Stocking Fund.

Minister'S Protest
Drives New Doctrine
Preacher Off Street

Protests by Atlanta ministers
against the doctrines Of James B.
Tucker, an itinerant street preacher,
caused Mayor Woodward to revoke
his permit to preach on the streets Of
Atlanta. The Rev. Hugh K. Walker,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, headed the delegation that
called on the Mayor.
Il don't intend to allow any preach
ing on the streets that causes dis
turbance,' said Mayor Woodward.
The streets are maintained by the
city for people and traffic to pass
along, not for religious meetings"
Tucker attacked a number of de-
nominations in expounding a doctrine
Of happiness that does not recognize a
hereafter.
