LAUGHED AT STRAW

Washington, Sept 19.-Scofing at
the appearance Of a stray hat is as bal
as smashing it in derisiye objection at

local police court. George Smith, yes
terday care-free citizen but today a
dazed and nervous man, discovered this
truth from the lips of Police Judge

Judge Milloway lectured him severely

solemn warning to others that any crit-
icism of the stray hat in future would
be visited by condign punishment.

COUNTERFEITING CHARGES

MEN IN NINETEEN YEARS.

Chicago, Sept. 49, - Johann Hoch
was hanged here February %, 1906,
for the murder of his wife, Marie
Walker Hoch, in 1905, by the admin
istration of poison.
1t developed after his arrest that
for 19 years he had made a busi-
ness of marrying women, deserting
some and numbering others, the mo-
tive in each case being to obtain the
life insurance or other property of his
victim. 1t was we'll established that
in IS year he married twelve women,
of whom four died under circum-
stances which left little doubt that
they had been poisoned.
Investigation Jagged after the exc
cution of Hoch, but the conviction re-
NAMED in the minds OF police and
lawyers concerned in his prosecution
that the record of his crimes as un.
earthed by detectives was for from

POST OFFICE
Will BE Open
TO INSPECTION
AMERICUS PEOPLE INVITED
Box Rents Are Due at Post
masters Office

To the average customer of the To-
cal postoffice, it is a place to buy
stamps, call for your mail, get regis
tered letter, or send package, and
nothing more. But the local officials
are attempting to create a new i'm
preston. From now on they will try
to bring about a spirit of co-opera-
ton. The new postmaster is desirous
that the citizens of the town consider
the federal building as their building
in every respect.
The entire plant will be thrown OPP
en- for inspection at any time during
the day. The public is invited to make
a tour of the entire plant and see just
exactly how much business the local
branch of Uncle Sans greatest busi-
ness does.
In order to facilitate the handling
of mails it has been found advisable to
ask customers to pay their box rents
in the postmaster's office instead of az
the general delivery window. This will
enable the. force to devote their en-
tire time to distributing mail and
waiting On customers. The plan is
expected to work out to the advant-
age of everyone concerned.
In discussing the local situation, the
new postmaster, Mr.. D. F. Davenport
said: 81 had no idea of the vast col
ume of business the local office did
| believe that a majority of the citi-
zens are like me in that respect.
enjoyed going over the building and
seeing how they handled the mail and
l believe that others will also. For
that reason we will all be glad to pilot
visitors around through the mazes OF
the Office and show them how we dc
things. We are desirious that the
people Of the city feel pride in their
office"

MAYOR LOWREY
IMPOSED fine ON
MAYOR LOWREY
BOTH JUDGE and PLAINTIFF
Declared Himself Guilty and
Pays Fine

Mayor NJ. Nj. Lowrey presided at the
session of Recorders court yesterday
morning, and a hushed stiffness per
yaded the courtroom as his honor,
with accustomed dignity, ascended to
the throne, picked up the gayel and
solemnly scrutinized the long list of
cases that filled up the heavy docket.
"The first case l see here is that Of
the city of Americas against M. NJ.
Lowrey, charged with having violated
section 273 of the city code in driving
his automobile without having the
rear light burning"
The stiffness of the room could have
been cut into large cubes with an axe,
as the audience listened to the execu-
tive, about to pass sentence upon him
self.
"The defendant, M. M. Lowrey, en-
ters a plea of guilty to the charge
against him, and as this is his first
offense, l will impose a fine of three
dollars, but with the admonition that
a second offense will secure for him a
heavier sentence" said the recorder
with the gravity of graduate under
taker
Whereupon he counted out three sill
yer dollars into the itching palm q
Clerk Weaver, and then proceeded tc
put the high touches upon the usual
bunch of black miscreants which the
cops had rounded up.

AMERICUS WILL
BE NEXT Scene
Of BARLOW TRIAL
BEFORE JUDGE LI7TLEJOHN
viii Be Heard Here On
Saturday

A,nericus will. in all likelihood. be-
the rext scene Of action in the spiritef
csa' fight for the possession of the
little daughter, which has been waged
recently between ]. E. Barlow and his
wife, Mrs. Edith Barlow. The case
originated at Lumpkin, Stewart coun-
ty, and was won there by Mrs. Barlow,
who was awarded custody of the child
by the ordinary.
Judge z. A. Littlejohn had heard
the case some time ago in the suit In
stituted in the initial proceedings, anil
directed that the child be awarded the
father, but with the provision that the
mother be permitted to see her at stat
ed intervals. This order, it is said.
was not complied with by the father.
The legal fight has been waged for
some time now in the state courts. The
Atlanta Constitution has the following
in regard to his now celebrated and
ntert sting case:
"That Mrs. Edith Barlow, wife of
E. Barlow, wealthy citizen of Gu
ba, who is fighting for his little daugh-
ter, Marie, will attack the validity of
Mr.. Barlow's second marriage is a
statement credited to Hudson Moore,
attorney for Mrs. Barlow No. l.
Mr.. Barlow was married to the pres
ent, Mrs. Maud Barlow after he hal
secured a divorce from his first wife.
and the latter claims that Mr. Barlow
did not live in Stewart county long
enough to be able to get a legal di.
vorce.
Action in Americus in the superior
court is expected to come up Septem-
ber 27. Mr.. Barlow who wants to take
the child away from Mrs. Edith Bar
low, is represented by Atlanta attor-
neys.

PRINCESS SOPHIA
COMMITS suicide
Preferred Death to Life With
out Sweetheart

Heidelberg, Germany, September -.
Princess Sophia, of SaxeWeimar-
Eisenach committed suicide early this
morning. Her body with a bullet
wound in the temple, was found to-
day in her room in the palace of her
father, Phince William
The death of the princess was due
to a love affair. She was engaged
to Hans Van Bleichroeder, son of the
senior member of one of the most pow
erful banking houses in Germany
When the engagement was announced
prematurely some months ago, it was
learned that the reigning grand duke,
Prince William Ernest, strenuously
prohibited the union, unless the prin-
cess renounced all titles and dignities.
This she refused to do.
Princess Sophia and her parents
were much beloved in Heidelberg for
their interest in the poor and the gen
eral public welfare although the ia
ther was by no means wealthy and was
living on an appanage from the reign
ing grand duke. AS head of the fam
lily the grand duke objected to the
union of the princess with a man in
an inferior station. Her father, it is
said, was inclined to accede to his
daughters wishes, but was unable to
take an independent stand owing to
his financial relations with the grand
duke.
The princess and Won Bleichroeder
had often been seen together at Held
elberg since the engagement was an
nounced. He studied for several years
at Heide frg and made the doctors
degrees last winter
It is not known whether the pair
had resigned themselves to the de-
cision of the grand duke, but Won
Bleichroeder it is reported started from
Berlin for Heidelberg yesterday.
No statement has been given out and
official confirmation of the suicide
could not be obtained today at Prince
Williams palace. But the townspeo-
pie have accepted the suicide YER
sion and the pathetic feature of the
affair has caused deep sorrow.
According to one of the palace EN-
ployes, the princess killed herself
about 6 o'clock in the morning, and
maid entering her apartments soon
afterward came upon her body. The
princess was 25 years old.
A brother, Prince Hermann, resign
ed from the Prussian army several
years ago. He settled in London and
married an Italian actress. Compelled
to renounce his title, he took the name
of Count Ostheim.

DAMAGE To PAVEMENTS
RESULT OF WEATHER
Blocks Bulge in Several LO-
CaIitieS

The effect OF the continued rainy
weather is shown upon the creosoted
paving blocks which, in several locali-
ties have swelled and "buckled" to a
considerable extent, making ugly
places in the hitherto smooth pave
ments. The damage thus wrought is
not considerable, and repairs will be
quickly effected.

Sensational reports coming here
from Buena Vista of the disappearance
recently of Mr.. J. w. Roberts, presi-

It is said that deficit of more than
S11 600 exists in the banks accounts.
Descriptions of the missing banker

Roberts has a wife and son living in
