EARLY SNOW
RECORD IS
SET HERE
Atlanta Shivers in Winters Grip
Coal Men Busy While Closets
Yield Last Years Wraps,
TEMPERATURES TO-DAY.

Atlanta tipped over its early snow
record this morning just before Z
O'Clock, when a whirling furry of
fakes swooped down out of a sud
denly clouded sky which cleared al
most at once, while the snow, after
falling quite brisldy for a quarter of
an hour, disappeared from the air
and the pavements.
The only other snow that has fall
leU i'm Atlanta as early as October in
he last "a years was that of Octo-
aer 2S, 1910, The snow this morning
breaks that record by nearly a week.
The two early SHOWS were about the
same in texture and quantity of
taEes.
Then the sun came out, and by 1880
O'Clock the streets were beginning to
TRY.
The early snow appeared to be
whirlcd up from the southeast. A
few miles north Of Atlanta there was
no snow, a few gusty sprinllles of rain
aklus its place
The brisk shift in the weather con
aitions was favored perceptibly with
an odor OF mothbals. Overcoats with
wrinkles up and down the back were
On parade in the early. morning light,
with their accustomed complement OF
red noses and foggy spectacIes.
Overcoats on Parade.
II wasn't so cold, at that-iust 80
degrees at 7:3o O'Clock. But on the

,5iIl struck home, and many an At
anita breakfast was attuned to the
more or less musical tinkle of the
.Hrnace shaker or the resounding
blows Of an ak making kindling OF

A rush Of orders for coal was re-
ported by the dealers, but so far the

Hamilton Douglas
Coils Cross Country
Mi. in 1863 Strokes

Growing enthusiasm in the game Of
golf among Atlantans reached a eli
max Sunday when Hamilton Douglas,
wellknown lawyer and dean of the
Atlanta Law School, accepted a wager
of $50 with w. J. Gregory that he
could play a ball cross country from
the first tee at the Capital City Coun-
try Club into the postofIice at Buck
head in 500 strokes
Cold and windy as It was yester-
day morning. Mr. Douglas began his
play with great zest, accompanied by
three caddies to make sure of the
count He shot over gullies, around
trees and through back yards, arrlv-
ing at Buckhead well under 200
strokes.
When he surveyed the land pre-
paratory to putting into the postoffice
there was no postofice there But
he putted away into the main drug
store Of the village his total number
of strokes being 1863. The distance
was something over two miles

Mrs. Pankhurst Lands
And Makes Speech.

NEW YORK, oct 20.-Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, leader Of the English
miIitants, was set free by the immt-
grafton authorities to-day as soon as
they received official notification that
Commissioner General Caminetti had
found her not guilty of moral tur-
pitude" and within an hour she made
a public speech before a crowd that
thronged the Battery
Mrs. Pankhurst left Ellis Island on
a Government tug at 1880 O'Clock.
and landed twenty minutes later at
the Battery. She had been accom-
panied across the bay by % ardent
sufTragettes who had gone to the Is
land earlier In the day to serenade
her. and when she left the boat she
found awaiting her a crowd Of sew
eraI hundred, mostly women. who
cheered wildly for the liberated
woman.
Wnen the ovation at the Battery
had ended, Mrs. Pankhurst thanked
the crowd for the reception it had
given her, and then talked at length
with the newspaper men.
What has happened to-day is one
OF the greatest slaps in the face that

Commissioner of immigration Re-
vokes Order Barring Mrs.
Pankhurst From Country.

WASHINGTON, oct, 2o-Federal
Commissioner of immigration Antc-
MO Caminetti to-day revoked the or
der of the special board Of inquiry de-
porting Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst,
the famous British suffragette, and
directed that she be allowed 10 enter
the country.
Commissioner Caminetti decided
that Mrs Pankhurst should be ad-
mitted on her own recognizances on
these grounds:
1. Because Of doubt on the question
of moral turpitude,
.. Because she can be prosecuted in
the United States courts if she vio-
lates the law.
5. Because she can be deported if
she violates the law.
Caminettrs decision came at ,the
close Of a conference held between
high officials to-day to determine
whether Mrs. Pankhurst should be
allowed to enter the United States or
whether she should be deported "as
an undesira BILE alien"
Wilson Sets New Precedent.
A new precedent in conducting ma
tional affairs was set by President
Wilson when he in person took
up the question Of admitting Mrs.
Pankhurst 1t was the first that the
nations Executive ever had set in
Judgment in a matter involving the
admission Of a foreigner barred by
the immigration authorities.
Hitherto this decision had always
been left to the Federal Commission
er of Immigration and the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor.
Secretary of Labor Wilson and
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Caminetti were invited to the
White House for a conference with
the President on the question Of re
versing the decision of the special
board of inquiry which ordered the
deportation Of Mrs. Pankhurst.
During the morning a deluge Of
kilograms descended upon the White
House, the general tenor of the ap-
peals being that Mrs. Pankhurst's po-
Iitical ideals are identical with those

street injunction were being heard.
Mr. Coogiers opinion was contin-
gent on the identity Of an L w. Fish
er Coogler has had before him many
times and that of the Fisher who has
been virtually a prisoner in the Grant
Building being the same.
C0ogler said Monday that Fisher
was tried several years ago for the
murder Of his wifes brother. He was
acquitted, but 1t Is known that a sus-
picion that he was guilty still rested
in the mind of his wife, and that she
frequently had charged him with the
crime These accusations are believed
by Coogler to have unsettled Fishers
mind, a condition which perhaps has
been augmented by the use OF drugs.
The Fisher" CoogIer has had be-.
fore him lived at No 7S7 Marietta
street. An investigation OF his record
has disclosed that the man was placed
on probation November "a of last
year charged with oeing drunk and
disorderly and abusing his wife. He
obtained employment and contributed
to the support Of his wife and chill
dren through the probation officer
Fisher was before Coogler again on
Christmas, and this time he was given
employment with the Christian Help
ers' League. He could not stay good,
and February Fl he was arrested
again, charged with striking and 9TH
erwise mistreating his wife. He was
bound over to the State Court under
bond of $500 He obtained his release
only to offend In the same respect
again. \ peace warrant was issued,
and he stayed IN Jail two days last
May, and soon afterwari he disap-
peared from the city.
Coogler received a letter from him
last May postmarked in Parksville,
Tenn He asked that his trunk be
sent him. That was the last Coogler
heard of him until Fishers sensa-
tional story appeared in the Sunday
