pointed to six minutes after the hour

OLLIE TAYLOR NOW HAS
A JOB FOR HIMSELF
Lad Has Been ParOled From the State
RefOrmatOry.

Atlanta, July 2S.-Ollie Taylor has
got a job. The 13-year-old boy who
was advertised all over the world
as having been sent to the penitentiaGy
for eleven years in darkest Georgia
for stealing a five-cent bottle of soda
pop, has been paroled from the re-
formatory, as many other boys have
been in similar circumstances, and has
set out to make a man of himself
Released on good behavior under a
four months parole, he began work to-
day in the machine room of a large
produce packing house in the suburbs
of Atlanta. Here he will be given the
first opportunity of his young life to
work in good, constructive surround
irgs, and show what is in him. Vita
the training he received during his
Imprisonment at the reformatory, it is
said that he is better fitted to make
good on the job than if he had never
gone to the penitentiary.
Seven other boys were paroled from
the reformatory at the same time as
Ollie, but he was the first one to find
2 Job. The others, however, all have
places in sight.
Thus is another chapter written in
one of the most turbulent and check
cred careers of any thirteen-year-old
boy alive. The whole nation was
aroused. Georgia was denounced as
inhumane, cruel and uncivilized. IL
was said that Georgia had sentenced a
child to eleven years in the peniten-
tiary. to associate with criminals, all
for stealing five cents worth of soda
water.
But on closer inspection the story
lost these startling aspects. 1t turned
out that the boy had only been sent lc
the reformatory, and that under an in
ldeterminate sentence for long series
Of thefts, of which the pop bottle in
cident was only the elimination. Nov
it appears that Georgiahas done about
as we'll by him as human wisdom can
/ foresee.
Ollie Taylor has been given another
chance.

SECRETARY BRYAN
SETS PRECEDENT
Asks German Ambassador
for Representation at
Big Exposition

Washington, June 1S.--Another pre-
today when Secretary Bryan appealed
to the German ambassador Count
Bernstorf to have the German govern
ment and people represented at the APP
preaching Panama Pacific exposition
The ambassador appeared at the STATE
department after a visit to the White
House and it was understood tina;
President Wilson expressed desire
that he call upon Secretary Bryan
Count Bernstorff will acquaint his
government with the request adding
to it such personal representations as
he believes the situation warrants.
This movement was inspired by the
hostile attitude toward the exposition
of several of the great European pow
ers which so far have not accepted in
vitations TO participate, extended
through the state department. This at
titude is credited to apprehension as
to the adverse effect upon trade of
sections of the pending tariff bill espe-
cially the so-called inquisitorial sec
ton, as well as to desire on the part
of some nations to sympathetically sup
port the British government in it's pro-
test against the exemption of Ameri-
can shipping from tolls in the Panama
canal.
Representations similar to those sub
mitted to Count Bernstorf may be
made later to the representatives, OF
other governments.
