CRAWL ORD WILL
FIGHT HANGS
ONEXPERTS
Attorneys for Widow of Capitalist
Declare Poison Evidence
Will Be Shattered.

A positive statement from DR.. F.
H. Harris. of the State Board of
Health, that Joshua Crawford died of
morphine poisoning instead of pneu-
monia, the announced cause of his
death by the attending physician, DR.,
]. w. Hurt. was the sensational de-
velopment in the Crawford s25o,Ood
will case Thursday.
DR., Harris was called to the stand
at noon. Attorney Reuben Arnold. for
Mrs Mary Belle Crawford, the widow
to whom all the estate was LEFT, PIN
ned him to the assertion.
For the first time in his career, he
said, he deviated from his custom OF
merely mentioning possibilities on
probabilities.
There was absolutely no trace Of
pneumonia or any disease Of the
lungs" said DR.. Harris. Morphine
poisoning very likely produced death"
Statement mistaken.
DR.. Harris was on the stand for
very nearly an hour, but his state
ment was mistaken.
No announcement would be made
by the attorneys for the heirs at-law,
who number more than thirty, but It
was confidently understood they
would not rest the case with the in
PRODUCTION of DR.. Harris, but would
have other experts. and probably
members of the family to take the
stand in an effort to substantiate the
evidence of DR.. Harris.
Attorney Arnold stated that the
evidence of DIR. Harris would be torn
to pieces when he put DR.. j. W. Hurt
on the stand to tell of administering
morphine and opium to Crawford in
an effort to stop the violent fits Of
coughing and near congestion Of the
lungs, with which he suffered in the
last month of his life.
Widow Not in Court.
He intimated also that he would
introduce experts to prove that the
quantities of opium and morphine
found in Crawford's stomach by DR..
Harris were not sufficient to produce
death, nor more than a normal dose
administered by the average physi-
clan.
Mrs. Crawford, the widow, was not
in the courtroom Wednesday when
the poison theory was advanced by
DR.. Harris, and 1t was doubtful
whether she would attend the hearing
Thursday.
Heirs at-Iaw to the estate and their
friends attended in large numbers,
and despite the fact it is a strictly
civil procedure and no court official
is presiding, it had all the appear
ance and interest of sensational
criminal trial.

Beavers in Speech
Warns Policemen to
Keep Out Of Dives

Chief of Police Beavers caused a
stir Thursday morning when he went
before the day watch and addressed
the men on their conduct. His talk
resulted from the recent scandal in
which several policemen we're found
guilty Of visiting a resort in the rear
OF 1877 Auburn Avenue.
ANY man who hangs around a ne
gro dive has no place on the police
force Of Atlanta" the Chief said, ad-
dressing the men. IF you get posi-
tive evidence that any of your broth
er officers are engaged in discredita-
BILE practices and frequenting disrep-
utable places, it is your duty to re-
port it."
The Chief will make similar
speech to the night and morning
watches.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, July 1O.-Wearing of masks
by society women who attend racy
theatrical productions, but who are
ashamed to let their relatives and
friends know of it, has come into vogue
here.
A large number of women from court
circles are daily attending the r1sque
French show, Il Love It," but all wear
masks for fear of the censure of their
husbands and of Queen Mary, who has
forbidden any of the ladies' of her court
from entering the Middlesex Theater,
where the production is on.
Clergymen are beseeching the censor
to close up the theater, declaring 1t
will debase all who see it because Of its
gross morality.

BARROW COUNTY
BILL PASSED
BY HOUSE
Measure Approved 1856 to IS De-
spite the Hardeman Opposition.
Crowded Galleries Cheer,

The bill creating the new county Of
Barrow, to be made up Of sections Of
Walton. Gwinnett and Jackson, with
wiRder as the county seat. passed
the House to-day by vote Of 1886 to
So
The measure came from the Con-
stitutional Amendments Committee
with a unanimous recommendation
for its passage, but 1t, was not put
through the House until after a gem
uine display had been INDUCED in
The fight against Barrow was led
by Hardeman, of Jefferson, who at
tackled 1t by moving to postpone &C
ton upon it until next session. Had
that motion prevailed. the bill would
have been killed, beyond hope of res
direction.
Barrow County has been looked
upon generally as apt to win out It
has been before the Legislature be
fore, and many members who voted
for Il to- day explained their votes
by saying that they voted upon the
merits OF the proposition entirely,
which were evident enough to the
Constitutional Amendments Commit
tee to get a unanimous favorable re-
port therefrom.
The impression is that Barrow will
pass the Senate and go to the people
for ratification in the next general
election.
During the voting on the bill, the
galleries were packed with citizens
from the territory affected, and when
the vote was announced the result
brought great applause,

New York Dressmaker Describes
PetticoatIesS Mode and Harem
Skirt From Paris,

NEW YORK, July 1o-"The prudes
can not stop them-they are here.
That is, they are in Paris. which
means that American women of fash
ion will bring them home with them
this fall and winter" said Nine. Ber-
nard, Fifth Avenue modiste, who has
just arrived from abroad with the
first harem skirt and the silhouette
gown.
The former resembles Turkish trou-
sers, which have succeeded the slit
skirt, and the latter is a new French
creation of lace and pleated tulle,
worn with tights of silk Of white or
flesh pink, with no suggestion of a
rial.
The slit skirt has been the most
graceful and attractive made for
women which has been worn in many
years, so all of the great fashion lead
ers of Paris declare" said Nine. Ber-
nard. The harem skirt Is an adapta-
tion of the slit skirt with the tendency
to the full and natural figure about
the hips, which is the dernier cri.
Turkish trousers, properly adapted,
are an ideal costume for the modern
woman of fashion. The ones l saw in
Paris are the most fascinating and
bewitching frocks have ever seen.
The silhouette gown, which is built
on GreCian lines, is extremely beauti-
full, provided the figure is graceful. 1t
Is like looking at a beautiful woman
through a fieeCy sunlit cloud
The gown is go arranged at the
hem that by means of a slit up the
front-to the knees-and by pulling
the diaphanoUs pleated tulle and lace
crisis cross about the ankles d sort of
trouser effect is obtained which only
shows when the wearer moves about. -

War Secretary Calls Them Use
less, DemoraIizing, WastefuI.
Ready to Fight Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The most
radical and dramatic move in army
administration since Elihu Root reor-
ganized II a decade ago has been de-
termined by Secretary Of War CARR
son. He intends to fight Congress on
the question Of maintaining 100 or
more absolutely useless" army posts
in the interior.
He intends to withdraw troops from
at least Is per cent of them in the
interest of economy and efficiency,
and next Wednesday will start on a
FIVE weeks tour of the posts to crys-
tallize the details Of the policy he an
nounced to-day.
Scores "Pork Barrel" System.
Secretary Garrison is Disguised
with the "wasteful and extravagant
way in which the army is being con-
Quoted" and lays 1t all to the system
Of maintaining army posts as part Of
the pork barrel" into which every
member Of Congress dips his fingers.
There are at present 157 posts In the
country. an average OF one post to
every ESQ soldiers in the army. Every
State Is represented.
The Secretary of War has made
preliminary investigation, which has
proved to him that the maintenance
Of all these posts, Of which he be-
lieves that 100 are unnecessary, is not
only demoralizing to the army. but
the most extravagant way of wasting
Government money ever devised.
Plans to Block Congress.
II Congress obstructs his policy of
unifying the posts the Secretary Of
War intends to use his executive
powers OF Withdrawing troops from
those posts which he believes are un-
necessary. He declares he has abso-
lutte power in this direction. and. with
the Presidents consent, could concen.
trate the entire army in Washington
il he so desires. He intends to use
this power in fighting Congress
should the latter determine TO nullify
his policies of post concentration.
Mr. Garrison will be accompanied
by Major General Leonard Wood,
chief of staff, and Quartermaster

Corn, too has taken a good hold on

are furnished transportation every

to get the best OF teachers in tho town
