With assurances that the club can
be bought, perhaps, there will be
something doing shortly as to the
purchase of the franchise. Several
business men who like the game and
who believe that 1t could be made
paying venture in this city are giving
considerable attention to the matter,
Phil /Krimke, who was one of the
original stockholders of the club dur
ing the regime of Walter w Burn
ham, is leading movement to form
a stock company and buy in the
holdings. Working along with him
are Moe Reichman, tax commissioner,
and Tom Blaney, who conducts a wet
goods emporium. This trio is said to
be banking on forming a stock COM
pany to take over the club, and they
have called a meeting to be held at
the Kruger Auditorium tonight, to
which, 1t might be added, about
twenty-five local business men have
been invited to attend. At this meet
ing, it is said, the matter will be
talked over in general way and
those who care to sign their names
as subscribers of stock can do so. If,
in this way, or any other way, suffi-
cient funds can be secured to pur-
chase the club the deal will be put
through in hurry. Just who the
invited ones are has not been made
known, but it is the intention, it IS
said, to get together about half a
dozen men of means to buy the club.

Just what the asking price is the
owners seem reluctant to tell and un-
til they feel sure they have a buyer,
it is generally understood that $137-
900 has been set as the amount it will
take to get the franchise. This is
double the sum for which 1t was
bought last year by the parties now
in control. Maybe the club can be
bought for less money, and from
what Mr. Ebbets said over the tele-
phone to Frank Million yesterday it
is likely so. Mr.. Ebbets was anxious
to have MIR. Million go over to Brook
Ign for conference, but Mr.. Million
is entirely too busy, he said, to bother
with a proposition he hasn't an idea
in the world of buying. When the
matter was first brought up Messrs.
Million and Uppercu were in a re-
ceptiye frame of mind, but just at
present they are not in the baseball
market at all. Mr.. Million said he
wouldn't give more than $4,000 for
the club. in any event. and the fact

EARLY SNOW IN SOUTH
FLAKES FALL AS FAR sOUTH AS
sGEORGIA AND ALABA3lA. :
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgiaa and
!: CaTolnas Experience Earliest
~
; Snowfall on Record. ssET

Tennessee, North Carolina, North
ern Alabama, Georgia and South Car
olina Monday experienced the earli-
est snowfall in the recollection Of
Oldest citizens. After week Of coE-
paratively warm weather the temper
ature began to drop Sunday and con-
tinued to fall during the early morn
ing hours Monday. As far south as
Atlanta the snow began to fall short
ly after two o'clock Monday morn
ing. The precipitation continued In
termitteltly until after daylight, at
which time it had been noticed as far
south as Birmingham, Ala, and
Athens, Ga.
According to records kept in the
central Office of the weather bureau
Mondays snowfall was the second
recorded in the month Of October.
The first was experienced eight days
later in the year 1910.
That the states mentioned above
were generally blanketed by the
snow clouds is indicated from the re-
ports from different sections. In
South Carolina the snow was noted
at Greenville, Union and Florence:
In Alabama the precipitation was
evident at Huntsville and Birming-
ham. Snow fell in several Georgia
cities and towns, including Atlanta,
Augusta and Athens. Reports from
Nashville and Chattanooga, Tenn,
and Asheville, N. c., indicate that the
snow furry was heavier in that sec
ton than in the more southern states.

WORST KIND OF CRIMINALS.
Should be Severely Punished To-
Their Disregard Of Life.

A little over two years ago a
dreadful disaster occurred in New
York factory known as the "Trian-
gle". IN that fire one hundred and
forty lives were lost, and they were
lost mainly because the exits from
the building were locked and so the
young women employees were caught
much as rat is caught in trap.
One result Of the fire was the pass
ing by the legislature Of a law COM
pelling all exits to be open. But, as
is often the case, the law has not al
ways been observed. In fact, in the
very same factory the doors have
again been locked thus making pos
sible another tragedy.
To be sure the proprietor has been
fined for his act but only to the mis-
erably small amount Of twenty dol
lars. That is a travesty OF justice
and reflects anything but credit upon
the Judge who tried the case, or else
upon the law itself. In effect the
could not have been in the chiid's
stomach throughout the day.

MRS. PiNKHURST ENTERS.
President and Commissioner Revoke
Deportation Order.

Americas doors Monday were
opened to Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
and during the few weeks covered by
her lecture engagements the British
militant suffragette leader is free to
20 where she will in the United
States. An order releasing Mrs.
Pankhurst from detention at Ellis
Island, New York, and revoSing the
deportation order OF the special lr-
uuiry board, was issued after Presl-
dent Wilson had conferred with Sec
retary Wilson, of the department OF
labor, and a formal hearing before
Immigration Commissioner Caminetti
on Mrs. Pankhurst's appeal had been
concluded.
Secretary Wilson announced that
he and the president had agreed that
Mrs. Pankhurst should be admitted
ION her own recognizance,' with the
understanding that she would depart
when she had fulfilled her lecture
engagements. Both the president and
the Secretary agreed with Commits
sioner Caminetti in the opinion that
there was an element of doubt as to
whether the acts for which Mrs
Pankhurst has been convicted in
England constituted moral turpltude
or were political in character.

TO MAKE LONG VOYAGE
WARSHIPS SAIL SOON FOR MEDI-
TERRANEAN CRUISE.
United States Battleships to Fake
Trip 5000 Miles from Home
Not merely an Affair Of Courtesy.

The nine battleships of the Allan
tic Fleet, under the command OF
Rear Admiral Badger, to depart Sat-
urday for a cruise in the Mediter-
ranean Sea, are at Norfolk rapidly
coaling and taking on ammunition
and other stores preparatory for the
trip. Assistant Secretary Of the
! Navy Frank D. Roosevelt has been
designated to represent the navy de-
partment when the battleships sail
from Hampton Roads Saturday. The
nine ships comprising the feet that
will make the trip are the Wyoming,
flagship of Admiral Badger; the
Utah, Florida, Arkansas, Delaware,
Vermont, Connecticut, Kansas and
Ohio. These vessels will be preced-
ed by the auxiliaries Celtic, supply
ship; Solace, hospital ship; Cyclops,
Orion and Jason, colliers.
Seamen from the feet in Hampton
Roads are now being given final
shore liberties prior to the departure
Of the ships. Norfolk is alive with
the seamen. Five hundred men
brought from the naval training sta
ton on the Great Lakes will make
the cruise. Supplies put aboard the
ships included 10000 pounds of
fresh beef and $4,000 dozen eggs.
The battleships Virginia, New Jer-
sey, Rhode Island and Nebraska Of
the fleet sail October 20 for Vera
Cruz, Mexico.
Unusual interest is manifested in
official circles at Washington in the
plans for the departure from Hamp-
ton Roads Saturday of two divisions
of the Atlantic fleet for cruise to
the Mediterranean. This is to be
courtesy cruise, but it is pointed out
at Washington that it incidental.
will. direct the attention Of the world
to two important facts-that Ameri-
can battleships in actual service are
prepared to hold their own against
any navy afoat, except that Of Great
Britain, and that because Of its geo.
graphical advantages the United
States can dispatch its dreadnoughts
1000 miles from home without fear.
In addition to their crews the bat
tleships will carry 1900 men from
the naval training station on the
Great Lakes who are now at Nor
folk ready to go aboard. Naval ex-
perts comment on the american
:.eedom of movement" as compared
to the restricted activities Of Euro:
pean navies. 1t is recalled that not
long ago Great Britain was said to
have abandoned a plan for sending a
squadron to Australia because it
would endanger her position in Eu-
rope. In volume of fire and number
of guns, the experts say, the Allan
tic feet is superior to the French
navy or to the combined fleets of
Austria and Italy and in respect to
12-inch guns, to the German navy.
For the Mediterranean trip the
nine battleships will be divided into
three divisions, commanded by Rear
Admirals Cameron MGR. Winslow,
Frank F. Fletcher and Frank E.
Reatly. Commander Charles F.
Hughes will be chief Of staff to Rear
Admiral Badger.

TORNADO KILLS NINE
STORM CAUSES VAST DAMAGE IN
LOUISIANA.
Wind, Levels Corn Fields
and Demoishes Housewives
Torn Down and Negroes Terrified.

Nine persons were killed and SO
were injured, none seriously, in a
tornado that swept over southern
Louisiana early Thursday. Cane
crops were raZed, dwellings and
fences demolished and plantations
were otherwise damaged. The hur-
ricane swept over Energy plantation,
near TrihodeauX, La, where Mrs.
Valize Borne and her two-year-old
baby were killed, together with two
negroes. The negro quarters were
demolished on this plantation and IL
negroes injured.
Cutting a clean path 500 feet wide,
the tornado lashed through the FL
lington plantation at Lula, La, de-
molishing the negro quarters, killing
five negroes and manning several
others, including a white woman and
white man. The storm came short
ly before daybreak and the terrified
negroes, caught in their shacks, were
unable to seek other shelter because
of a terrific downpour of rain before
a violent wind.
With communication with several
cities in southwestern Louisiana cut
off it was late in the afternoon before
the range of the storm and extent Of
damage were known. It IS believed
the tornado spent itself in the gulf
after speewing over southern Missis-
sippi. The wind at Gulfport blew at
the rate Of 60 miles an hour. In
New Orleans considerable damage
was done to roofs. fences and swing

BOMB GANG CAUGHT.
New York Police Seize Twenty Black
Handlers

Twenty members of the 'tBlack
Hand" society, alleged to be the nu-
cleus of the bomb throwing gang that
has terrorized the foreign Sec
tion of New York for the past year,
are under arrest in New York city.
1.-The police believe they have cap
tured the leaders Of the dreaded So
ciety in America and that there will
be no more bomb outrages, at least
so far as this society is concerned.
Three of the members of the gang
have confessed to the police. They
have unfolded tales Of crime that will
keep the detective force busy for
several weeks and may result in
scores of arrests among the criminal
classes Of New York. Stories so far
told by the men under arrest account
| for over 100 bomb outrages, the
| theft of 20 horses, the poisoning Of
as many more animals, counterfeit
ing, blackmail, extortion, arson and
even murder.
The arrests and confessions Of the
| accused bomb throwerS came under
| conditions that would have delighted
a dramatist. Alfred Lehman and
John Rizzo were arrested in Hudson
county, n. j., charged with blowing
up a factory in Lyndhurst. The Hud-
son county authorities notified the
New York police. and two detectives
went to Hackensack. secreted them
selves in the jail. and there heard the
prisoners discussing their part in
numerous "Black Hand" operations.
The detectives caused the arrest of
Antonio Levantrino, Pietro Gimbro-
no. Anthony Sadaitys and Rocco Pici-
elli, named in the conversation be-
tween the two prisoners. AS soon as
Lehman sped Levantrino he gri2ped
the bars Of his cell and shouted:
you will try to cheat me, will YOU?
! I'm the man who blew up your
| house,
"Then you're the chap who killed
nv daughter" shrieked Levantrino.
Rizzo reproached Gimbron for fore
ing him into a counterfeiting plan.
| Gimbrono accused Rizzo of treachery.
| Detectives caught every word in the
accusing thrusts Of the prisoners and
used them in building up their chain
of evidence against the suspected
men.
According to detectives. the gang
| is now-new. One man has belonged

stantly changing. When member

Daugherty believes the cleanup has
been so complete that before every
detail of the confessions has been
worked out at least 40 men vii! be
under arrest and the police will have
evidence to convict every man ar

majority of our teachers are so poor

NO MILLS CLOSE.
New Tariff Appears to BE Having
Good Effect.

oSOo SA4~SSe
No Georgia industries have 1sen
| shut down as the result Of the new
Underwood-Simmo tariff bill, ac-
cording to countrywide reports. On
the contrary manufacturers every
where appear to be optimistic as to
the outlook. They assert that, with
the period Of uncertainty over, bust
ness appears to be picking up. In
the East mills are running as usual.
Sugar beet farmers in the West are
not pleased with the outlook of free
sugar; but as this Is three years OF
they are not worrying. Steel mills
are supplying the increasing dsmand.
In the South, where 1t was feared
the new cotton schedule might cause
trouble, manufacturers asset that
the mills will do better under the
new tariff than they --dfttIdle71rnder the
Payne-Aldrich -, schedules. High
price Of cotton in the South is, max
ing that. section of the country un-
usually optimistic.
In Philadelphia not one plant has
been shut down on account OF the
tariff. No industry in Northern I'LL
nois has shut down. The rumor that
the Illinois Steel company was laying
of men has been denied by the COM
pany. There is no evidence OF de-,
crease in the demand for steel in the
Pittsburg field, and there IS no indt-s
cation that portends a decrease M
the near future. q
Boston manufacturing industries
are running along as usual. Manu- I
facturers assert they feel business iss
on as firm basis as under the old
tariff and much more certain. Ne
plants have suspended in Baltimore:
On the contrary the mills are rum
ming at full capacity.
No eorgia Industries have been
closed, and manufacturers assert
none will be. Managers take a hopes
full view of the new cotton schedules:
and assert conditions will be better
than under the old schedules. The

Vinson, specialist in children's dis
eases, spent hours with the child en-
deavoring to find exactly what was

everything looks upside down. The
boy is perfectly normal ard has no
other defects.
