Z MEN HELD FOR
DEATH Of BABY
Coroner Orders Arrest of W. B.
Latham and Negro, Hos
pitaI Employees.

w. E. Latham, of 161 Glenn street,
ployees of a private hospital in Capitol
avenue have been ordered held for the
grand jury by Coroner Donehoo, follow
ing an inquiry into the death of an in
FAINT found in the crematory of the san
itarium.
Warrants for the arrest of Latham
and Arnold, charging them as accesso-
ries, were issued last night, but neither
had been arrested at 1890 o'clock to-
day. Both men will be held, doubtless,
until the grand jury can inquire into
the case, unless hearing before a mag
istrate is demanded.
The coroner's inquest, conducted last
night, brought forth a verdict of death
from violent means.
The evidence indicated that the body
of the child, scarcely ten hours old, was
found by Arnold. in the crematory of
the hospital. The negro said that he
had told Latham of his discovery. and
the latter advised him to throw it in
the trash. The body was found by
city employee on the dump.
Access 10 the crematory of the sani-
tarium is said to be gained easily from
Capitol avenue and an alley which
skirts the rear Of the place No lock,
it is asserted, had been placed on the
door of the crematory.
Coroner Donehoo asserted that he
suspected the infant had been murdered
and put in the miniature crematory at
the sanitarium by persons who had got
into the place from Capitol avenue. He
said that the hospital authorities were
aiding him in getting at the facts in the
case.

The Tight-Fitting Kind Are
o. K. for the Sims, But Not
the Stouts.

Atlanta swells will, If they follow the
lines ruled by Dame Fashion, parade
Peachtree street Easter Sunday in the
English tight-fitting sack suit-the last
word in spring creations of the tailor's
art.
The slim cut suit. brought across,
don't y know and grabbed with alac-
rity by the tall, angular gentlemen,
hated yet endured with the fellow whose
chest has slipped to his waist line, is
again the thing.
The dictum of the Old Lady who
makes the mems fashions--or is it the
Old Gentleman declares unreservedly
for the English three buttoned coat,
short long sleeved with the narrowest
OF narrow straight cut trousers-not
the slightest sign of the former peg
top must show.
Gaudy Ties, Too.
Comes now the further memorable
rule that ties will be lurid. Violent
reds. puppies. greens-any of the basic
colors save black and white are the
thing. They must, above all, be color
full. Mems hats are fiat brimmed, wide
crowned felts. Shoes will be exceed =
ingly fiat heeled and wide soled. Those
who wear a walking stick will have to
plant their old ones and let them grow
about six inches before they are really
de rigeur this season, for it has been
ordered that the cane that does not
appear half crutch. half alpine staff is
entirely out of the question.
Eye glasses will be worn with a black
cord dangling from the coat lapel but
ton hole instead of the gold button that
used to be inserted there.
Mr.. Samuel H. Spring, of Boston,
secretary Of the National Association
of Merchant Tailors, in Atlanta this
week, thus describes the Easter styles.
He's tho Real Authority.
Samuel Spring ought to know. He's
the man that put the styles in Spring
and that's no crippled pun. either But
there are a host of Atlanta men, men
of force and weight, who come right
out and say to Sam. man to man, face
to face, that the outfit that they will
wear on Easter morn will NOT be q
tight fitting, long caneG, vide-h hat
brimmed one. These men are in that
vast army of persons respectfully re-
ferred to as rotund. Others say they
