MATERIALISTIC NATION
GUIDED BY IDEAllSTS
Such Is German View of Wilson,
President, and Bryan, Sec
retary of State.
tBy Cable TO The Tribune. ]

Berlin, March 22.-The "Deutsche
Zeitung' pays a high tribute to Secre-
tary Bryan in a long editorial COM
menting on the so-called paradox of the
"Notorously most materialistic nation
in the world under the guidance Of
the two most notable idealists of the
time-Wilson and Bryan" 1t believes
that the appointment of Mr.. Bryan to
the Secretaryship of State promises
closer German-American relations.
"Mr. Bryan" says the paper: ''is a
man of the highest nobility of mind
and "A Democrat in the finest sense Of
the word He is filled with the spirit
of Washington, Bancroft and Lincoln,
but lives in a time Of moral and
economic slavery under feudal lords
and trust magnates. 1t will be one Of

ism and idealism in the new world.

Boston. March 22.-The rumored in

ME May Eaton, charged with the mur-
der of her husband. Rear Admiral Jo-
seph Giles Eaton, with the view OF
proving her IL paranoiac, received par

Judge Kelley, counsel for Mrs. Eaton,
is already making plans to fight any

District Attorney Whitman received
Information yesterday which offers the

The reports turned in to Whitman
Yesterday show that while Dryers
visit TO the District Attorney was the
straw that broke the camers back. the
police ring" had been working over
time for month or more in des-
perate effort TO checkmate the inspector
who was stirring up trouble for some
Of the most powerful grafters in the
department.
As disclosed by the District Attor-
neys Investigators. the story centres
around a captain whose headquarters
are in Dryers district. This captain is
credited with being the representative
Of the wire tapping grafters at Police
Headquarters. He was apprised by the
Headquarters ring that Dwyer was
too active to suit the ring in aiding
Whitman. and it was suggested to him
that he assign a couple of men to
shadow the inspector.
Put on Dwyer's Trail.
These men shadowed Dwyer on Tues
DAY night last, when the inspector
would have met the District Attorney
exceut for the fact that Whitman was
attending the Sulzer birthday dinner
The next night their vigilance was re-
warded when they trailed Dwyer to
Whitman's home. Their report went TO
the captain. and was by him forwarded

next day DIVERS staff was shot to
pieces.

parently fearing that the former pa
trolman was going TO double-cross the
System"
When Uilner telephoned to Whitman
that he and his wife would come as
Witnesses before the grand jury If they
were immunized from prosecution for
keeping and maintaining a disorderly
house. this very active captain threw
caution 10 the winds and went to see

Since the arrest of Mrs. Eaton the

Piedmont Is the Most Popular
Place in Atlanta for Past Two
Weeks, Says Gillespie,

Twenty thousand people have taken
their morning and afternoon splash in
Piedmont bathing lake since Atlanta's
popular swimming place was opened
less than a fortnight ago. New lock
ers and bath houses, the cement bot
tom and other improvements have
proven great drawing cards, with the
result the resort is more popular
than In preceding seasons.
An average Of 800 or 400 luen and
women take their eraly morning

where from 500 to 1000 grown-ups
and children disport themselves in the
waters every afternoon.

and he was sure more than a thou
sand people had sought pleasure there
every day since the opening. Early
In the morning at o'clock, the bath
ers are out in force. Men and wOm-

wives and daughters, make up the
early morning swimming set. In the
afternoon school children so to the
lake In companies and regiments, and
men from the city swell the number OF
divers. treaders and dippers close to
the thousand mark.
The automobile driveway around the
lake has proven an added attraction.
Hundreds may be found any after

driveway watching the crowds swim

SENATOR SMITH
LAUDS SCHOOLS
ON WARSHIPS
Declares Daniels Plan to Teach
Seamen Trades Will Make
Recruiting Easy.

WASHINGTON, June Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, declared to-
day that ne considered Secretary
Daniels policy Of making United
States battleships into public school
houses one of the greatest things ever
done by a Secretary of the Navy.
This is one of the greatest oppor-
tunities for young men TO see the
world and at the same time obtain a
technical education that could have
been devised" Senator Smith said.
There is every reason in the world
why the work should be a success.
Nowhere Is the opportunity better to
obtain an education in mechanical en-
cheering than on a battleship. II Is
specially adapted to such training and,
besides that, the opportunity to get
knowledge of electrical engineering,
wireless telegraphy and host OF al
lied subjects is unlimited.
The teaching of such a course Will
mean that the department will have
a waiting list within a year instead of
having to solicit recruits for the serv-
ice. For a man to go into the service
and come out in three years equipped
as a mechanical engineer is an adj
vantage unparalleled in the country.
And il will be no less splendid for
the officers to act as teachers. 1t will
be the best training they could get.
and instead OF the service being mo-
notonous, 1t will be an inspiration"

TWO SLAYERS
ARE PARDONED
BY Gov BROWN
Executive Thinks Woman and Man
He Frees Might Have
Been Justified.

Two pardons were granted in man
slaughter cases by Governor Brown
Saturday morning. In each instance
the Chief Executive held that the cir
cumstantial evidence under which
both parties were convicted was suf-
ficientIy strong to indicate that the
killing might be regarded as justifia-
BILE homicide. Martha Wooten and
Clarence Richardson were the per-
sons granted pardons-
Martha Wooten, who was given
four years on a charge of manslaugh-
ter for killing a man in Rabun Coun-
ty in August, 1911, was recommended
for pardon by the Judge and other
prominent officials of Rabun County.
The statement was made to the Gov
ernor that Ordinarily she would
have been acquitted by jury of this
crime" Plea of the defense at her
trial was that the man had attacked
her, that he was drunk, and that she
was forced to kill him in lf-defense.
The prosecution alleged that she was
selling whisky and had sold the man
the whisky which had intoxicated
him and was directly responsible fog
his condition.
The case of Clarence Richardson
created quite a sensation. He was
given four years for manslaughter in
1909. He comes from one Of the most
prominent families In Early county
and the killing for which he was con-
victed grew out of a family row. His
defense was that he did the killing to
save his fathers life, charging the
man had an axe drawn on his father
at the time he shot him. His father
was indicted, but was cleared of the
killing
Evidence in the case tended to show
that the man killed was under the
influence of narcotics at the time OF
the shooting. and this helped develop
the Governors belief that it was real
ly case of justifiable homicide.
