MARYLAND MAKES
The BEST RECORD
Older Vessels Lead List For
General Efficiency

Washington, D. c., June 4. - Tae
armored cruiser Maryland made the
best record in the long range firing
of the big guns recently conducted by
the navy. Following in order of merit
were the battleships Rhode Island,
Idaho, Virginia, New Hampshire.
Michigan and Utah. Commander
Craven. director of target practice
reported today that the performance
of the older ships in the competition
was particularly gratifying as they
were using older materials and mixed
calibres, thus rejecting great credit
on the personnel of the older vessels.
So far as the practice has gone the
old armored cruiser Saratoga, former
ly Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, New
York, leads in the torpedo defense
firing this spring. She is closely fol-
lowed by the battleships North Dakota,
Maryland and Michigan, all of the
older type.
Another old ship, the battleship
Idaho, which in former years won the
tropbyy for oaparaI oHo;aro,. a0o "a,
leads the list in the returns for all
forms of practice, earning honorab,e
mention by Captain VIM. L. Howard
and her executive officers. The Idaho
was closely followed by the battla-
ships Virginia, New Hampshire
Michigan and North Dakota, and the
armored cruiser Maryland, in the or
der named.

MOTHER and GIRL
WAS.NOT MURDERED
Mrs. Stevens and Her Dauqh-
ter CrGmatGd s z

Atlanta, Ca, June 5.-That Mrs.
Sarah Stevens and her adopted
daughter, who persisted in the Nc
Donough road fire, were not murder
ed at all, and that the alleged attempt
to lynch the two negro suspects in
the case was part of third degree
plan cooked up by the detectives TO
brighten the negroes into a confess
sion, are two startling declarations
now made in connection with the Stew
ems mystery 1t was hastily reported
when the crime occurred that the two
women had both had their skulls
crushed by some blunt instrument
and this report was accepted by the
police.
Subsequent investigation is said to
have shown that the bodies of the
two women were burned almost to
cinders and that the skulls were SO
decomposed by the fierce heat that
it is impossible to say whether or not
the women were attacked with a
bludgeon or an AK at all before the
fire occurred. The undertakers who
had the bodies in charge, have said
that the skulls were cracked in reg
ular segments, just as they would
naturally be cracked in excessive
heat.
These things were not known the
day that the officers took the two
negro suspects to the scene of the
tragedy. The third degree that the
negroes were subjected to there,
if it was third degree, was
about the fiercest since the Span
ish inquisition. Arriving at the site
of the ruined house, the detectives
including Chief Lanford, of Atlanta
first quizzed the negroes for a while.
then tied them to a tree and went of
somewhere. After the officers disap-
peared a dozen or more white farm
ers gathered around the negroes and
began to threaten them. Other peo-
pie came up and a mob was in ra-
pid process of formation 1t is said
that ropes were thrown over the tree
limb and nooses were even slipped
over the negroes heads, when the
sheriff and his men returned and res
cued the prisoners and hurried them
back to Atlanta. 49,

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with
the guarantee of a reliable dealer that
it will not cost you a penny unless il
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling
Simply get an ounce of othine-dou-
BILE strength from your druggist, and
a few applications should show you
how easy it is to rid yourself of the
homely freckles and get a beautiful
complexion Rarely is more than one
ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove freck-
les.

Dickey, On the bulletin board in the
lobby of Seney Hall, is 241. This, ac-
cording to Professor M. T. Peed, sec
rotary OF the faculty, is exactly the
same number enrolled last session the
first week. 1t was thought, on opening
day. that the present enrolment would
go beyond what it was last session, az
the first of the year. This was due to
the large number of new faces In the
crowd. the present freshman class be-
ing somewhat larger than the fresh
man class of last year.
The Junior class has just complete1
its election of officers. Geo. w. Mat
thews, Jr., of Fitzgerald, formally OF
FIT Valley was elected president sew
eral days ago. The other elections
we're deferred until to-day. The pop
ularity of George Matthews is evidenc-
ed by the fact that he was duX of the
sophmore class, and has now been
chosen dux of the junior class, and
this means, according to custom, that
he will also be dux of the senior class
of 1914-1915. The other junior officers
are as follows: c. H. Arnold, of East
man, secretary and treasurer; Grams
ton G. Williams, of Greensboro, histor-
ian: Irwin Ennis, of Atlanta, poet; H
H. Hudson, of East Point prophet; n.
| S. Howell, of oxford, chaplain; Carson

err.
The classes are now organized and

where property for the purpose has
been offered them Meetings of su-
burban residents have been held al
which strongly worded resolutions Of
protest have been adopted.
Practically every community along
the entire northern border of the city
is being enlisted in the movement to
keep out the college, and a call was
sent out today for mass meeting
