TRAGEDIES
THANKSGIVING
FATAL TO2
One Boy Killed as Brothers Shot
gun ExpIodes-Anothe Fatally
Shoots Himself in Accident.

Two Atlanta families were in
mourning Friday as the result of
Thanksgiving hunting tragedies. In
each case the victim was a young
lad, and in each case the killing was
accidental.
A shotgun in the hands of young
Basil Bridwell exploded and blew
away the base of skull of his 10
year-old brother, Charles, son of Mir.
and Mrs A. b. Bridwell, residing on
the Mayson and Turner road.
The accidental discharge Of a rifle
caused the death of 14year- old
Johnnie Garst, son of James f. Garst.
recently a candidate for Recorder.
Brush Pulls Trigger.
The lad was carrying the weapon
himself, and. 1t is believed to have
been fired by catching on the under
brush through which he and his COM
panion, Frank Williams, were max
ing their way.
Garst was hunting with william
and other friends in the woods near
Sisson's Crossing about o'clock in
the afternoon. William was slightly
in the rear of young Garst Will
liams was startled by the report of
Garsts rifle Garst sank to the
ground with a bullet wound in his
abdomen.
The terrified boys called for help,
and in a short time the Grady am
bulance was on the scene. The in
jured lad lived for a short time after
his removal to the hospital, expiring
just at the conclusion of an opera
ton.
Boy Dead When Father Arrives.
His father was notified, but not in
time to find the boy alive He was
frantic with grief, and it was found
necessary to detain him for some
time at the hospital until the vio-
lence of his sorrow subsidized.
Basil and Charles Bridwell were
invited on the hunting trip that end
ed fatally for the latter by a party
of boys that passed their house. They
had been unsuccessful in stirring up
any rabbits, and were gathered
about in a group talking when the
accident took place Basil was eX-
aiming a gun that belonged to one
of the other boys when it suddenly
exploded.
His younger brother toppled over
onto the ground without even a
scream of agony. The back of his
skull had been torn off by the wea-
pon. When his horror struck com
panions picked up the little body life
had gone out of it,

Gays and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-

The Governor and his followers

DEMOCRATS
PLEDGE VOTES
Forty-Seven Senators De-
clare Intentions to Vote
for Tariff Bill
BILL IS APPROVED
BY THE CAUCUS
Bill Will Have Majority of
One in Senate When a
Vote Is Reached

Washington, July 8. - Forty-seven
Democratic senators stood up in a party
caucus one by one late yesterday and
declared their intentions to vote for the
Underwood Simmons tariff revision bill
as finally approved by caucus a few
minutes previously.
Two senators, Ransdell and Thornton,
of Louisiana, stated they would not
make such a promise because of the
proposal to place sugar on the free list
in 1916. Senators Hitchcock OF Nebraska
and Culberson of Texas were absent but
both are known to be in favor of the
bill This gives the Democrats 40 votes
for the bill or majority of one, with
the vote OF the vice president TO fall
back upon in an emergency.
Absolute binding to the resolution
was found to be distasteful to many Of
the senator's. A resolution was adopted
declaring the bill to be party measure
and urging its undivided support with
out amendment unless such is submitted
by committee. Senator Newlands voted
against this resolution, 1t is expected
the bill VIII be reported in the Senate
on Thursday.

WILSON ON LINKS
AT WOODSTOCK
President Motors from Cornish to Former
Place-Later Rides to
Hanover.

Cornish, \. H., July S,-President Will
son will not return to Washington to-
day owing to a sudden drop in temper
allure. He thought last night that he
might extend his stay until Thursday.
Yesterday he motored to Woodstock
and played golf. In the afternoon he
motored to Hanover to see the Dart
mouth college buildings, accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson.
He tried his skill on the golf links at
the Woodstock Country club. He was
matched against his physician, DIR. Cary
T. Grayson, U. s. n.
Mr.. Wilson had considerable exercise
before he arrived, for the 80 mile stretch
of roadway from the summer capital is
made up largely of sharp inclines and
quick turns that make it necessary for
the automobilist to hold tight to his
seat
The president also had an experience
with the fiekleness OF New England
weather. From the sweItering marks of
the last few DAYS when the mercury hog-'
cred in the nineties, the temperature
had dropped about IS degrees yesterday
morning and a raw wind blew across the
links. He entered the game attired in
white duck, reinforced with heavy
coat.
Few of those in Woodstock knew that
the president was to visit the club and
some of those on the links did not at
first recognize the distinguished golfer.

work out very intricate problems.
1t is when two or three persons above
the average in the social scale and in
education conspire together that the
most ingenious devices develop. Per-
haps this is because each gives the
other courage. That is what makes
hunting down a gang of counterfeiters
so interesting. They are usually intelli-
gent men and work together. Yet there
is one thing they all lose sight of or
disregard-the fact that they are al
ways caught in the end.
The most interesting surprise | ever

WINDOW GLASS DECAYS.
II Gets So Brittle In Time That II Ma,
Be Cut With Shears.

1t is generally supposed that glass is
practically immortal But it has been
demonstrated that glass exposed to the
elements will decay and in time be-
come so rotten that 1t Is worthless.
Window glass exposed to the heat
and cold and varying winds will. after
a number of years. become so brittle
that ii can be cut with a pair OF
shears. 1t Is said that light and dark
ness have different effects on glass.
and this alienation alone will cause ii
to become fragile and in time worth
less.
1t is almost impossible to remove old
windows from a building without
breaking many Of the panes of glass.
New glass can be handled with much
more carelessness.
There is a certain elasticity to new
glass that leaves glass which has fac
ed the weather for a number of years.
Street takers who travel throughout
the country selling scissors will obtain
lot of old window glass and show
the crowds how wonderfully their
shears will cut by clipping Off strips
of the glass just as person would
cut paper. when In fact the feat is
due to the fact that the glass is actu-
ally rotten.-Harper's Weekly.

Bad Break in the Caminetti
Case Is the
Cause
APPARENT FROM
EVIDENCE SHOWN
Plot to Ruin Innocent Girls.
1t Is Said, the
Cause

Washington, July S.-The publication
in Washington yesterday OF alleged
suppressed documents in the Diggs
Caminetti case showing that District
Attorney McNab as early as May q
tried to convince the attorney general
that postponement would result IN q
scandal, that this McNab report was on
file in the department of justice when
Mr.. McReynolds finally disposed of the
case, and that Secretary of the Interior
Lane transmitted to the attorney gem
eral protests from California on the
case, have revived the rumor here that
the resignation of Mr.. McReynolds is
imminent if it is not already in the
hands of the president Washington and
the country apparently have already
made up their minds that the admin
istration did wrong in listening to the
plea of Caminetti, senior, which, through
his cabinet influence, resulted in the or
der of postponement. But the details
of the story of this incident in the white
slave traffic are such that the irregular
ity is seen TO be of the gravest sort and
one which merits the condemnation of
EVERY HUDHsL man anu NulldH' Ih12N
details it is not necessary to recite. 1t
Is enough to know that the case, judg-
ing from all the evidence, is clear
case of the Turing of innocent women
against their will to be sold into prosti
tuition. Every step in the actions OF
Messrs. Diggs and Caminetti appears to
have been deliberate and well thought
out. This was no elopement. 1t was
white slavery.
The commendation which the president
received for his prompt order that the
case should 60 to immediate trial is, it
is believed here more than Offset by the
fact that in Mr.. McReynolds he has a
chief law officer who has made not only
bad break. but bad break in par
ticularly bad matter, and that it is not
safe to continue in Office man subject
to perpetrating such breaks. General
gossip in the capital credits the presi
dent, it should be said to his credit,
with full appreciation of all this, and
gossip also has it that it is already
determined that the attorney general
shall go, if not at once then at the esrli
est possible opportunity consistent with
dignity.
