DROPS ELECTION
FRAUD CHARGES
ACquittaI of Artope Causes the
Solicitor to End Prosecution
of Others in Bibb County.

MACON. GA, Feb. 22.-Following the
acquittal of 7. e. Artope on the charge
of fraudulently conducting the last Au-
gust primary. it was announced today
by Solicitor Ross that the indictments
ag&inst Dolvin, Harrison and Umpback
the clerks in the court house precinct,
will not be prosecuted. This terminates
the alleged election frauds cases.
How the votes became altered and
others We're destroyed is still unex-
planned. Fifteen witnesses testified in
court that their ballots were changed
and fifteen other ballots We're proven
missing
Artope, prominent Macon business
man, was found not guilty of the
charge of altering and destroying bal
lots In the August, 1912, Bib county
primary election, while acting in the
capacity of manager at the A to l. pre-
cinct of the upper city district. The
jury last night acquitted him of the
charge, after staying out an hour.
Artope and George Dolvin, John Har-
rison and r. A. Umpback were In
charge of this precinct, where a dis
crepancy was discovered in the re-
count on the day after the election suf-
flcient to change the Legislative re-
suit.
In the trial of Artope the state pre-
scented ballots which had been changed
after deposit in the box, according to
men who voted, and also presented evil
dence to prove that fifteen ballots were
missing.
In his statement to the jury, Artope
declared that there had been no col
fusion to defraud any Of the candidates,
and declared that the ignorance of him.
self and associates as to the methods
Of conducting an election, and the cir
cumstances under which they received
and counted the votes, were RESPONSE
BILE for the seeming Irregularities. He
attributed the discrepancy to uninten-
tional mistakes by himself and the
other three clerks.

Definite steps to outline the program

Cornell road Residents of the road
asserted that the strip was impossible,
but that other sections Of the road
were in good condition.
On resolution presented by Com

The Atlanta AID Mems club gave a

night.
This story could very we'll stop right

as we'll stop right here, because the re-
porter lost his notes, he thinks. May
be he didn't make any; maybe the
crazy scratches that he found on the
back of his dinner program today were
his notes Be that as It may, the At
lanta Ad Mems club gave it's first an
nuai gridiron dinner last night, and
more things happened than in six fren-
zied months Of life in Mexico.
Standing more or less brightly out of
the haze is the recollection of a per-
sonal chat with Woodrow Wilson, on
the htghbrow topic OF theories OF gov
eminent The Ad Mems club pulled off
a real stunt with this. At the chair of
every guest was the receiver of q tele-
phone. When the festivities were at
their height-that's when everybody Is
singing you know-Toastmastr A. s.
Adams announced that q message from
Woodrow Wilson in the New Willard
hotel in Washington. had been ar
ranged
Everybody put his receiver to his
ear The mellow voice OF a telephone
girl was heard.

o-hello-hello-is this Wash
ington? Is this the New Willard
Governor Wilson, please? Governor
Wilson? All right, governor, here's Mr..
Adams for you, in Atlanta, go ahead
Mr.. Adams, for five minutes"
The AID Men sat for five minutes,
with the receivers glued to their ears,
and with every expression on their
faces from that Of SEQ nful skepticism
to that of holy awe, while a deep, pre-
else voice at the other end of the wire
talked Of Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian
theories Of government, predatory
wealth, and trust octopuses.
If it wasn't really Governor Wilson,
the impression was the same. The AID
Men say that the feature was bona fide
and that the genuine voice of a genuine
Democratic president was heard in the
Atlanta banquet room. They talked of
special arrangements which had been
made FOR them by the telephone COM
paniee.
Oh, Il Was a Big Night.
Anybody could tell right at the start
of the evening, that 1t would be big
night. Guests paraded into the banquet
hall to the weird strains Of the flu
neral march. They wondered. This
was not what the announcements had
led them to expect. But soon the
meaning of the sadness was revealed.
A bier was rolled into the hall, on
which reposed the figure of a corpse,
covered with a sheet. Black clad pail
bearers attended It, and behind q group
OF sheeted figures. Fred Houser was
a chaplain, and read the funeral serv-
ice of Care, Worry and Sorrow" who
was the unfortunate person on the bier.
Enough to say that the dead was for
gotten. even before the corpse was
wheeled from the hall. Just to prove it,
the POSTMASTER announced that the
Givemel quartet would sing. They
did; they sang during the evening, from
soup to nuts-that is, when the eighty
others were not singing The Give

wrecked by the storm.
Electric lights in wide areas were
out, thus leaving scores of people in
total darkness when they sought safe

Physicians and ambulances were
busy all night responding to calls from
people reported injured in the blowing
over OF frame dwellings in the tene'
