efforts are at the disposal of the min
listers in assisting to make II the

Burglars Invade
North Side Homes,
Terrifying Women

Burglars terrified women in two
North Side homes Friday night, and
though the police responded to calls
as quickly as possible no clews to the
intruders could be found.
Miss Bertha Franklin, who was
sleeping on the second floor of the
home of her brother, Charles Frank
line, at No. ID West Fourteenth street,
awoke to find man standing over
her with a flashlight. She screamed.
The burglar leaped out a window and
fed.
Mrs. ]. Montagon was alone with
four little children at her home, No
As East Merritts avenue, when she
heard someone crawling on tin roof
at the rear of the house. She called
the police by telephone and stood
guard with pistol The police came
and made a search, but could find
no one.
Miss Franklin saw enough of the
intruder into her home to tell that
he wore a black sweater and cap to
match. Investigation by members of
the family showed that little of value
had been stolen.
Men in the house were attracted by
Miss Franklin's screams, and made a
thorough search of the premises for
the thief, but without avail There

PASTORS PUSH BIG
'GO-TO-CHURCH'DAY

With a committee of ministers Sc
lected to arrange the details for Go
to-Church Day" preparations were
begun in earnest Saturday to make
record for Atlanta in church attend
ance when the great outpouring takes
place December IA.
The committee is made up of the
Rev, II. M. DuBose, First Methodist
Church; the Rev. John f. White,
Second Baptist Church; the Rev, j.
Wade Conkling, Unitarian Church;
the Rev. W. W. Memminger, All
Saints Episcopal Church; the Rev.
Richard Orme Finn, North Avenue
Presbyterian Church, and the Rev.
F. A. Line, Universalist Church.
A meeting of the committee mem
bers will be held early next week
when a chairman will be selected and
a program outlined for the service
December IA, which may be follow
ed in the churches where 1t does
not conflict with the regular order of
service.
General Text Likely.
A general text from which all OF
the pastors may preach will be Sc
lected. 1t is regarded as likely that
the one suggested by Bishop c. f.
Nelson will receive the approval OF
the committee members. This was:
Pure religion and undef1led before
our God and Father is this-To visit
the fatherless and widows in their
affliction and keep himself unspotted
from the world. "-James 1927.
Several Of the ministers have sug-
sested that some prominent member
of each congregation be asked to
speak briefy--possibly five minutes
at some point during the service on
the subject of church attendance. The
plan probably will receive the consid-
Grafton of the committee. Practical
" all of the churches will have spe-
cial musical services in the morning
and evening.
"Go-to- Church Day" will receive
notice in scores of pulpits throughout
the city Sunday. Some Of the pas

As Too Worldly

MACON, Nov. 29.-Checker play
ing and attendance on baseball
games and moving picture shows by
Methodist ministers were criticised
as worldly amusements by Bishop

moving picture show and intended
to die without seeing one.
The conference proceeded to-day
with the election of delegates, lay
and clerical. to the General Confer
ence to be held in Oklahoma City in
May, 1914.

British Minister Extends Protec-
ton of British Flag in Case Of
Anti-Foreign Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %
Dispatches from Mexico City
saying that President Huerta has
cabled to Porfrio Diaz in Paris
to return and resume his old
military command were inter-
preted in administration circles
here to-day as convincing evil
dence that the power of Huerta
is crumbling and he has recalled
the former dictator in a last
desperate effort to retain the
Presidency.
The reports, it was pointed out,
merely show the logical development
of conditions in Mexico City, of which
the administration had private infor-
nation. 1t was this information which
caused President Wilson to announce
recently that Huerta's strength was
and that the United
States merely would have to main
tain it's hands off, policy for a brief
period.
Chief interest in Washington now
centers on the report which William
Bayard Hale soon is to make to the
President on his conference with the
of General Carranza.
With Huerta practically eliminated
the question as to recognition of the
Constitutionalists is forcing itself to
the front.

SOULS To
HE'LL
Ex-EmpIoyee Quiet When He
Couldn't Bear to See Hor-
rors Any Longer.

One of the most shocking of all
the tales of the cruelty at the Allan
Ia Federal Prison since Julian Haw-
thorne and DR.. W. J, Morton made
their sensational charges against
Warden William H. Meyer. was told
to The Georgian Saturday morning
by j. H. Archer of Sumter, Ga, for
two years a guard at the institution,
who says he quit because at was
like sending mems souls to hell"
Mr.. Archer's story of the things he
saw and the things he did during his
two years service under Warden
Meyer is like q page ripped from some
inquisition record. Ii is a picture
~of torturesE and punishments hardly
conceivable in this enlightened age.
He barred the secrets of the hole"
place of torture that he says changed
strong men into white faced maniacs;
he tells the details of how men were
chained and shackled to the walls
of a dungeon for days at a time, with
a slice of bread and a glass of water
their only fare; of men who were
thrust into the blackness of the soil
tary" and came out insane with the
desire to KILL of the man who, his
mind wrecked by the terrible silence
of the "hole," and the strain of his
punishment, tore a great hole in his
side with a rusty nail and ground
fine particles of glass into his own
flesh; of the consumptive who was
locked in his cell and kept there until
he died, and there is in his mind the
remembrance of the young prisoner
who lay for twenty days on the stone
floor of his cell without a morsel to
eat

went there while Warden Hawke was
in charge, and later Warden Meyer
came The hole was there when
Mr.. Hawke was there, but l do not
remember that he ever placed a pris-
oner in 1t. But when Warden Meyer
came and took charge of the prison
there were always half a dozen poor
devils chained to the walls, their legs
shackled and their faces pressed
against the solid brick--slowly going
insane in the inky blackness and the
terrible silence.
There is but one word to use in
speaking of the hole out there at
the prison That word is hell. If there
is a hell on earth, it is the dungeons
where prisoners are thrown for the
slightest infraction of the prison
rules; where mems souls are shrivel-
ed and their bodies destroyed. The
men who are paying their debt TO
society out there fear the terrors of
the hole more than they fear the
terrors OF eternal damnation.

chimes were 1917, the first machine showing 514, the second 513 and t71e third 290. The first machine seemed to have been favored by the repubI- cans as it's figures generally on the republican ticket were ahead of those on the democratic, starting with the first seIectman where MT. Church re- democratic, PIP. On the second ma- chine the democratic selectmen led their republican opponents, but the rest of the ticket on this machine had a general republican complexion by about 8 or votes. On this machine MT. Lflibridge for first selectman re- ceived 252 votes to 226 for MT. Church,
 On the third machine the vote for the candidates was remarkably uni- form along party lines It was evident that this had been used by the elect ors who voted straight without split ting and the figures on the machine were generally in favor of the repub- licans on the basis shown by the vote for selectmen, where the two repub- lican candidates received 134 to 138 respectively to 123 and 121 for their democratic opposites.
