With Work Done at
Home.
GIVES CHANCE TO STUDY
WITHOUT lNJURING COURSE
Is Similar to Scheme Found Success
full in Brookline, Mass, Al
though Modified.

Beginning with the next scholas site
year. a plan will be put in force in
the Eastern High School by which
pupils may be credited for work in
music which they may do at home
under private teacher. The plan was
made by DR.. Willard S. Small. principal
of the school. and approved by Supt
William NJ. Davidson Yesterday This
is the first time in the history of the
public schools of Washington that out
side lessons in music will have been
credited part Of the school course,
it is said or when music will have
been regarded as major subject
The plan purposes to give to pupils
an opportunity to study music without
injury to their high school course. Or
to prevent the high school course from
interfering with the music lessons. DR.
Small proposed the plan in 1907. short
ly after coming to Eastern. and had
also brought up the matter once or
twice since then. 1t was not until yes
terday: however. that the plan was
officially approved. 1t is similar to a
plan tried successfully in the Brook
line. Mass. High School for several
years. modified in some details, how
ever to suit local conditions
Music Is Sacrificed.
Nv hat We want to provide for" said Dr.
Small yesterday. lis students who wish
seriously to study music, and at the same
time to take high school course This is
an 1mpossibility under the present condi-
tons. The student must neglect either
the one or the other. In a great many
cases the music is sacriced to the high
school course. in other cases the high
school course is sacrificed to the music,
much to the loss of the pupils in the mat
ter of general culture"
DR.. Davidson is heartily in favor of the
plan specifically, and also as matter of
general policy. Public schools ought to
supplement the private work which a
student Is doing he said yesterday, by
giving credit for that private work which
will enable it to be carried on coincident
with the High School course. And further
with the high school above everything
else should encourage students not to
drop private work in music for four years.
thereby making it almost Impossible to
take it up again.
The plan is an extension in which
have believed for fifteen years. It is a
part Of education. but is special education
for which certain children are fitted and
others are not.

CRAWFO ORD HEIRS EXPECT
SEARCH FOR BARBER To
BARE PRE-NUPT|AL PLOT
Relatives Think That Lump Will Tell
Woman Held on Poison Charge
Planned to Wed Him on Her Hus-
bands Death.

II the tireless search which is being
directed by Atlanta lawyers discov-
ers in New York a man named Fred
Lump, the prosecution in the case
against Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford
who is charged with poisoning her
husband Joshua B. Crawford, thinks
a pre-nuptial plot against Crawford
can be proved.
The alleged plot was between Mrs.
Crawford then Mrs. Savage, and
Lump. She would marry the wealthy
Crawford obtain his money, and then
marry Lump, say her accusers.
Lump is a barber by trade and
Bohemian by nativity. He Is sup
posed to be in New York, and in
that city detectives in the employ
of the prosecution have been at work
for several days. Every message that
comes from them, however, Is one
of failure.
Colonel James Makes Charge.
The charge of a plot first was made
by Col. J. S. James, who is attorney
for the contesting Crawford heirs.
who ordered the arrest of Lump
Colonel James said that Lump admit
ted his being in Atlanta at the time
OF Crawford's death. and that other
testimony valuable to the prosecution
was given by him in deposition sew
eral weeks ago. But present search
for the Bohemian barber has proved
fruitleSs.
Colonel James points to Mrs. E. c.
Bursener as one Of the witnesses Of
the prosecution to substantiate the
murder plot charge. Mrs. Bursener
it is claimed, will testify that she
frequently heard Mrs. Crawford say
that she would marry Crawford. get
his money, and later run away with
Lump. The prosecution will seek to
prove also by Mrs. Gertrude A Paint
er, IT is said, that there was a def
mite agreement to this plan existent
between Mrs. Crawford and Lump
The forces that are trying to sad
die Mrs. Crawford with the murder
charge are scoring heavily in the

Joshua B, Crawford, trying to break
the will by which the widow received
the bulk Of the estate, charging I'M

Der of witnesses to swear to an an

One of the witnesses was Mrs. L.

Grand Rush Of CoIonists to Take

as Meet a Friend From Your Home
Town and "At the DEVILS Ball." sung
by feminine entertainers from Metro
politan music halls, accompanied by
high class orchestras, the divorce col.
ony celebrated the past week the be-
ginning of the end of the Nevada

On the stroke of the midnight hour
on Monday the curtain dropped upon
one scene in Reno's notable divorce
colony performance which has com
manded the attention of the world for
so long-that of the almost daily APP

All Houses Are Thronged.
During the past month, and espe-
cially the week ending on Monday,
the throng of newcomers has expert
enced great difficulty in securing such
apartments as they might desire. All
the hotels are crowded as are the de-
sirable rooming houses. Available
cottages are almost as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth. In many cot
tages from four to six divorces are
living.
Some private boarding houses are
housing as many as ten of the fair

Scott. Mrs. Sallie Alexander, an old
woman of Henry County, was anoth-

ford's part.
Mrs. Crawford. released from the
Tower on pall of $3.50, has remained
in the seclusion of her home on West
Peachtree street all week, steadfastly
quiet and refusing all statements in
the face of the accusations against
her. She has said nothing regarding
the case. except a simple denial of
the charges
Reporters seeing her were treated
courteously and quietly, and Mrs.
Crawford seemed not averse to talk
to them freely. But in most of the
talk the subject OF the murder charge
and the plot charge In which Jumps
name appears was carefully skirted.
Mrs Crawford is a large woman,
Of dignified appearance. Not one mo-
ment since her arrest Saturday night
has her composure broken, even
slightly. In the Tower she received
the few persons who called on her,
and during the visit did not exhibit
sign of perturbation.

Mrs. Crawford finds staunCh friends
in her children and grandchildren,
who visited her at the Tower, and
were with her almost all the few hours
she spent in Jail, bringing her flowers,
a savory meal, and other tokens of
their love.
Mrs. Crawford's children are bitter
in their speech against the nephews
and neices of JOSHUA B. Crawford,
who, they say, are prosecuting their
mother with extreme cruelty. Mrs.
Crawford herself accused her enc
mics of cruelty and lack OF feeling.
Mrs. Crawford met Joshua B. Craw-
ford when she was in charge of a
winter hotel in st. Augustine, wither
Crawford went in search of health.
It was there she met him, and there
that she married him. At his death,
there was a settlement Of his estate,
Mrs. Crawford taking hold OF the
affairs with a capable hand.
An agreement was signed. and the
affairs of Joshua B. Crawford, de-
ceased, seemed amicably settled. Then
the litigation was sprung In the
first bill of complaint the heirs who
contested the will charged Mrs. Craw
ford with poisoning her husband, and
of exerting undue influence to pro-
cure a viii in her favor But it was
not until three years later, two weeks
ago, that an examination Of the re-
mains of Joshua b. Crawford to as
certain traces of poison was ordered.
Upon the examination came the YER
dict of the physician that traces of
poison were vident, and Mrs. Craw-
ford was arrested.
With preliminary hearing waived,
Mrs. Crawford's case is fatty up to
the grand jury. which, without def
mite date Of meeting. awaits the call
Of the Solicitor General. The body
probably will be assembled next week
