PRETTY WIDO "
To Be TRIED FOR
KILLING SPOUSE
Fate Of Mrs. Stroud Rests on
Testimony Of Her Companion
at Time of Tragedy,

SHREVEPORT, June 2L-Mrs.
Belle Stroud, "a years old and pre-
possessing, will face trial here June
IS for the murder Of her husband,
who was killed April 1s in the pub
lie road near Vivian when he at
tempted to chastise her for riding
with Edward Beeler, a friend of the
family.
Beeler was also shot accidentally
by Mrs. tSroud.
The killing was one Of the most
sensational that ever occurred in this
part Of the South and was followed
by an attempt to lynch Mrs. Stroud
and Beeler. Officers, by quick action,
got the pair away from Shreveport
and the woman has since been IN
prison here because of her inability
to furnish $4,000 bond.
Sentiment Shifts to Woman.
Recently there has been a change
OF sentiment in regard to the tragedy
and reports here are to the effect
that even those who were bitter to-
ward the woman now hope she will
be acquitted.
Mrs. Stroud is an expert horse
woman and frequently drove hand
some horse which her husband had
given her on the second anniversary
Of their marriage. On the day of
the killing she and Beeler were can
tering along the South Road near
Vivian when Stroud met them. He
shouted curses, according to the
wife, and, dismounting, attempted to
drag her from her horse. She re-
sisted and, 1t is alleged, he made a
movement as if to draw a weapon,
when she took a pearl handled re-
oil H.. b
from her bosom and shot him in the
side. The second shot struck Beeler
in the leg. This Infatuated the wom-
an and, leaping from her horse, she
closed in on the already wounded
husband and shot out his brains.
Escapes From Hospital
Beeler was taken to a hospital
here, where II was deemed necessary
to amputate his wounded leg. Re-
Gently he escap ped from the institu-
ton, 1t being intimated that either
friends of one side or the other had
induced him to leave. He was cap
tured at a railway station and will
be kept in the jail here until he gives
his testimony, which the defense ex-
poets will acquit the woman, but
which, on the other hand, the State
hopes will bring conviction.
At first Beeler said he loved Mrs.
Stroud and he limited that should she
be acquitted there would be a quiet
little wedding. But of late he has
experienced a change of heart.
Il lost a leg-that's enough for
me-" is all the statement he would
make when visited in his cell.
Judge John r. Land will preside
at the trial and District Attorney w.
A. Mabry will be the prosecutor.
Former District Attorney James NJ.
Foster will defend the woman.
And l will not get q cent" he
said. THE woman is deserving of
sympathy and l am sure she will be
acquitted"

Work of Corn Club

The recognition by organized labor
Of the high value Of boys corn club
work is set forth in a striking way
by Jesse W. Armistead, president of
Atlanta Typographical Union. No. AS.
in a communication to Secretary Wal
ter G.. Cooper OF the Chamber of
Commerce.
Upon the success of the farmer, "
says Mr.. Armistead. rests to a large
extent the whole superstruCture of
commercial and industrial welfare
and 1t certainly behOOves the COM
mercial interests of Atlanta 10 foster
and encourage greater efficiency In
and diversifiCatiOn of crops.
Under the organization of the
Boys Corn Club much progress has
been made, both for the upbuilding
and strengthening of food production
in Georgia, and in introducing the
principle of constructive cooperation
along agricultural lines by the bank
ers, merchants and manufacturers of
the big cities"

Eagles Return With
Convention H0nors
Drum Corps and Drill Team Elated
Over Capturing Prizes at
Jacksonville Meet.

It was a Jubilant crowd Of Eagles
who returned to Atlanta laden with
honors taken at the national conven-
ton of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles
in Jacksonville last week Despite
the fact that the drum corps and drill
team was organized but ten days prior
to the convention, the Atlanta Eerie
walked away with the prize for the
disappearing team.

Besides these proposed additions 10
the civil laws, there viii be various
changes In the criminal statutes pro-
posed notably a bill to provide to
misdemeanor Convicts, In certain cir
cumstances. a method Of paying
themselves out Of prison, and a bill
looking to the establishment of a
central place Of execution for crimi-
nails, with eleCtroCution instead Of
hanging as the means Of infliCting

Il is a noteworthy circumstance
that the new Legislature is composed
almost entirely OF new men.
The percentage Of old membership
returned is not far below the aver
age, but not many members Of the
last House will be seen In the new.
Several well-known members Of for

PIANISTS AFTER
RETURN MATCH
WITH PLAYER"
Question of Ragtime Champion,
ship of Atlanta Threatens to
0vershadow All Else.

The question of Atlanta's ragtime
championship now threatens to be-
come as famous as the pump question
and the crematory discussion.
Although Frank Hammond, execu-
tive secretary to Mayor Woodward,
awarded the decision in the contest
to the Weatherholt player-piano,
there are many advocates of the
pianists not present at the contest
who still insist that the player is not
the equal of an expert with nimble
fingers.
Decision Was Close.
Mr. Hammond admitted the de-
cision was close but he believed. aft
er studying the merits of the con-
testants closely, that the Weatherholt
PLAYER piano should have the de-
cision in Fridays contest. And this
was the opinion of a majority of those
present.
Friends of Marsh Adair, we'll
known young Albanian, want another
contest and want him in as one of
the contestants. They say he can
outplay any player piano ever built
in a ragtime contest. Others, too,
who were unable to attend the con-
test Friday afternoon, want another
synCopatiC bout held.
Another Contest Planned.
For this reason T. E. Weatherholt,
president of the Weatherholt Piano
Company. has agreed to attempt an
other solution of the problem.
So all lovers of ragtime will have
another opportunity Tuesday after
noon of hearing the player-piano and
expert pianists. The contest will be
staged again in Weatherholt Hall, ~
North Broad Street, and the first
contestant will begin playing at 3
o'clock Everybody is invited. It's

that as long as colleges have rules

There are many poor fellows on

TINE average golf player walks
ten miles in playing eighteen
holes over the average course.
This seems like am cxagg,ration, but
il has been proved a fast.
on some courses believe the aver
age trip around is vastly more than
ten miles. For instances, take On"
Athletic club course at East Lake, a9
an example. J firmly believe that the
average trip around that exceptional
course would be eleven miles, perhaps
twelve played IL many times be-

it we'll
Not only is the East Lake course en-
eNtru long one. but there Is quite "a

Also there are some dctours around

John "a Burns OF GienvieW. once
made am interesting experiment He
had long been curious To know how
many miles he actually walked dur
ing a round of golf. So he purchased
"a pcdumctcr. strapped 10 on and set
forth 10 play the fun eighteen holes at
GlonvipW. when tho round was end
cd he discovered 90 his surprise that
hc had walked about ten and one
half miles The average man would
hesitate long time before setting
uut to walk from Chicago to Evanston
as bit of exercise, Yet during the
season many golfers play eighteen
holes daily without special fatigue.
Many of these golfers would not walk
$50 far as Mr.. Burns and many would
walk much farther, because great
deal depends upon the relative skill.
and good luck Of the players.
