Killed.

Detroit, May 27.-Escaping death
three times by a narrow margin, Ursu-
la Mayote, two years old, lost her life
because there was no one near to res

stove and when found vas almost un-
conscious. She pulled from a table a
pan of scalding water and was
snatched aside just in time. A short
time afterward she ran in the path OF

sped by.
Later Ursula went out on the street
again and five minutes afterward her

ITALIANS DRAWN
into ARAB TRAP
Lost One Thousand Men in
Recent Battle.
GAIN FALSE INFORMATION
Prisoner Given His Freedom After
Being Carefully Primed With Mis-
leading Facts Regarding the Strength
OF the Arab Forces.

Chlasso, Switzerland, May 27.-The
strict censorship which the Italian
government has imposed on all news
relating to the state of affairs in
Tripoli, and particularly with regard
Sidi Garba on May 16, has made it
difficult to obtain exact information
on the recent reyerses in the terri
tory.
1t has been learned, however, that
the disaster at Sidi Carlo was due TO
a we'll laid plan of the Arabs.
An Italian workman named Michae-
velle, who had been taken prisoner
by the Arabs, was allowed to escape
after being carefully primed with
false information, which he carried to
General Ganbretti.
Instead of waiting to carry out a
scheme of cooperation with General
Tassoni, who was on his way from
Benghazi with a strong force, General
Ganbretti, on the strength of Michae-
%velle's report that the number of the
enemy was small, decided to attack
alone.
Italians Are Surprised.
Accordingly he divided his 5000 men
into three columns, which were sup.
ported by four guns and a battery Of
howitzers.
After the first flush of victory the
Italian soldiers were resting, when
suddenly each column was set upon
from front and rear and cut off from
the others. At the same time they
We're subjected to a heavy shell fire.
The Italians showed admirable cour-
age and endurance. Some of the com
panies lost all of their officers. One
advance detachment lost thirty-six out
of forty men, and it was soon appar-
ent that retreat alone would save the
forces from humiliation.
Colonel Magadenla was shot, and,
as he lay dying wrote a report prais-
ing his men and recommending for
promotion his major, who, although
twice wounded, took command.
General Ganbretti, on his return TO
Derna, said: 1T was the bloodiest
day of the whole Italo-Turkish war"
The Italian losses are estimated at
1000.

Mr.. MILF. LATIMER
is KILLED BY TRAIN

Mr.. j. Milton Latimer died at DR..
Nolan's sanitarium early Thursday
morning as a result Of injuries re-
ceived when North bound N. c. &
ST. L. passenger train struck the
buggy in which he and Mr.. Emmett
Benson we're returning from the
Veterans reunion at Kennesaw,
Wednesday afternoon at $50. The
accident occurred at Dobbs crossing
just beyond Kennesaw Mountain.
The cause of the accident has not
been accertained but it is probably
due to the dangerous crossing at
this point which makes the sight of
North bound trains practically i'm
possible. Both of the fine horses the
gentlemen were driving were killed
and carried some distance from the
crossing by the terrific impact of the
collision.
Mr.. Benson's left arm was broken
below the elbow and he was badly
bruised and shaken up but is not
fatally injured.
DR.. j. T. Gault, of Atlanta, came
along in his touring car shortly af-

ter the accident and took the two
men to DR.. Nolan's sanitarium. Mr..
Latimer's right arm was so badly
broken that immediate amputation
was necessary and his hip was crush
ed to q pulp. His head and face
were badly bruised and he was un-
able to survive his injuries, being
sixty-fve years of age.
Mir. Latimer is the father of Mes
srs, VIII and Dave Latimer and Miss
Sallie Latimer. The funeral and in
terment will be held at MONDAY
church Friday afternoon. Mr.. Lati-
mer was a member of this church for
forty years.
Both Mr.. Benson and Mr.. Latimer
are highly connected and among the
ccunty's best known and beloved
citizens and have many friends who
are deeply grieved over the tragedy.
Mr.. Benson was resting well dur
ing Thursday morning and was re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
large host of friends upon his mar
row escape.

SAFE ROBBED OF $3.50
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
Store of Wikle-Butler Drug
Company Burglarized and
Cash Taken.

The safe in the Office of the Wikle-
Butler Drug Co. was robbed last Sat
urday night and about three hun
dred dollars in money and checks
stolen. No clue has yet been found
to aid in finding the burglars.
The robbery was committed some
time after closing time late Satur-
day night and it is evident that the
burglars entered the store by the ice
chute in the rear of the building.
The money was taken from a small
safe in the Office and the theft was
committed by an expert as the COM
bination lock on the safe was work
ed to gain, entrance to the money
drawer. The only evidence of a bur
glary having been committed was
the bolts in the hinges of the safe
having been removed which is the
only thing about the ROBBERY to indi-
cate an ameteur job. 1t is probable
that the bolts were removed to leave
the impression that the robbery was
not the work of an experienced
crook
DR.. Wikle hopes to recover part of
his loss by stopping payment on the
stolen checks.

VOTE CAST
BY SPEAKER BURWELL
Hot Time In House When
Speaker Broke Tie Vote
OF IS to IS.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug, 13-After
three hours and half of debate
marking the most bitter and most
sensational fight of this session. the
house Tuesday afternoon passed the
Anderson Miller tax equalization
substitute of the senate when
Speaker w. II. Burweli, of Hancock,
broke the tie of IS to IS by voting
aye. Immediately there was q dem
onstration by the adherents of the
measure that the vigorous pounding
of the speaker failed to stop for sew
eral minutes.
The bill was taken up at three
o'clock, when the lower assembly
convened for its afternoon session,
and the debate by both sides lasted
until 5:30 O'Clock, when the pre-
yiOus question was called and the
vote began a few minutes later.
After the first ten names we're
called the vote was 7 to 3 against
the bill, and tax reformers became
decidedly uneasy for fear the same
ratio would continue. From then
on, however, they forged to the
front and at one time were eleven
votes to the good Here the tide
turned again and II was nip and
tuck down the third and last col
umn of the roll call Slowly but
surely the lead of the victors was
cut down and when the letter 49,"
was reached the tie came, nor could
1t be broken.
At the conclusion Of the vote ii
stood Sc to SO against the bill. Then.
two things happened that changed
what seemed to be certain defeat
into victory. One member of the
house found that he had voted mo"
under a misapprehension and chang
ed to AYE" cutting down the lead
against the measure to one. A Sec
ond member was not in the house
when the roll was called, but reach
ed the capitol just in time to cast
his ballot in favor of the bill, thus

SCHOOL INFORMATION
Explains Who Will Attend
Old and New Schools
Coming Session.

am asked so frequently as to who
will attend the new school and who
the old that | deem it advisable to
make the following statement:
The new school is intended to ac-
commodate the children on the
north side of the town, those living
on Church, Cherokee, Kennesaw,
Polk, and contiguous or connect
ing streets, while the Waterman ST
school will accommodate the child
rem on the south side.
The dividing line runs east and
west between Washington avenue
and Lawrence st. and down Whit
lock Ave, or possibly north of Whit
lock Ave This line divides the town
equally as to school population.
but like the magnetic meridian. il
cannot be absolutely stationary.
There will have to be shifting from
one school to another near the di-
yiding line, and the equitable divi-

experiment, transfers being made
according to the necessities of the
case
All high school pupils will attend
the new school; all seventh grade
pupils will attend the Waterman st.
school regardless OF what part of
town they may live in. At the
new school there will be six eIe-
mentary grades, beginning with the
first at the Waterman st. school
there will be nine grades. AS there
is more room there, more children
will have to attend that school.
| wish the public to be strongly
impressed with the fact that we
have attempted to make the two
schools of equal merit. The Water
man street school will have teachers
just as strong as the new school.
1t will be just as sanitary Its heat
ing system is superior, in fact. The
superintendent will spend as much
of his time there or more than at
the new building.
In addition to the four high
school teachers, the following ele-
mentary teachers will be at the new
or Haynes st. School Miss Marie
Scott, LIST grade; Miss Caroline Deas,
End grade; Miss Laurie Ford, 3rd
grade; Miss Helen Daughtry, 4th
grade; Miss Emma Breach, 5th
grade; Miss Marie Turner, 9Th
grade.
The following teachers will be at
the Waterman st. School: Miss Exa
Bennett, list grade; Miss Lula Nc
Michael, End grade; Miss Florine
Dial, lst and End grades (mixed);
Miss Rosalie Scott, Bird grade; Miss
Jennie Daughtry, Bird and 4th grades
(mixed); Miss Blanche Barnes, 4th
grade; Miss Louise Chick, 5th grade;
Miss linda Harrison, 9Th and 7th
grades linked Miss Sena Towers,
18th grade.
In order to avoid confusion | will
ask all parents living on the north
side of the city to have their child
rem call on me. during the next
week or two, at my Office in the new
school building, and bring their pro-
motion or other cards with them SO
that may write on the cards what
