ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
NTOMORROW'S BOUT
DR.. Roller and Franz Beck Both Re.
ported to Be in Good
Condition,

Wrestling fans Of the Capital are look
ing forward with eager anticipation &c
the heavyweight bout to be pulled on
tomorrow night at the Lyceum between
DR.. Roller the Seattle physician, and
Franz Beck, the famous German wres-
tier and boxer.
In booking this match, Manager May
er, of the Avenue playhouse, has struck
popular chord, as DR. Roller has al
ready demonstrated his ability as a
wrestler in this city, and Beck, with
fiattering notice from the North, looks
to be a foeman worthy of his steel
A giant in stature, being six feet two
inches tall, and weighing 30 pounds.
Beck should prove a most troublesome
customer for DR.. Roller, despite the
latter's experience in the mat game. DR..
Roller will work his hardest to trim
the German giant, and judging from his
recent bouts with Yankee Rogers and
Hans Lobert. he is in fine trim for the
match.
A purse of $50 has been guaranteed to
the winner by Manager Mayer, and this
means that both men are out for blood
and will take all sorts of chances TO
win Pat O'Connor is slated to be the
third man on the mat.
DR.. Roller is working out IL Balti-
more, but will arrive in this city this
morning. Should he succeed in defeat
ing Beck tomorrow night. DR.. Roller
will be matched with the best heavy
weight obtainable.

Congressman From
End. Georgia District
Dies At ThOmaSVille

Seaborn Anderson Roddenbery
died at his home yesterday after
noon at 5:42 o'clock after a short
illness. At his bedside were the
members of his family including
his two sons summoned from
college several days ago when it
was learned that physicians had
despaired of saving the congress
mans life. Mr.. Roddenbery's
death was due to heart trouble
and complications.
A nervous collapse forced Mr..
Roddenbery to return home from
Washington several weeks ago.
For a time it was thought that a
few weeks rest from his unusually
severe congressional duties would
restore health. His condition grad
ually grew worse, however.
Mr.. Roddenbery was a noted
south Georgia prohibiti'n leader.
He was serving his third term as
member of the house of repre-.
sentatlveS, having succeeded the
late Congressman. James >Griggs,
who, like Mr.. Roddenbery, died
in office without political defeat.
In the death of Congressman
Roddenbery, the loss is felt by
the entire nation. He was a man
of many admirable traits, sympa-
thetic and loyal to his friends, and
his ability in national legislative
work is recognized by both friend
and foe. He was a hard worker
and his breakdown followed a long
and arduous extra session of the
legislature this summer.
Mr.. Roddenbery was for three
terms member of Congress. On
Feb. Is, 1910 he was elected to

Believe Jurors
Expressed Opinion

Atlanta, Sept. 25-Preparations
are being made for an early hear
ing for the motion for new trial
in the case of l.. VI, Frank, con-
victed of the murder of Mary
Phagan. 1t is announced to-day
that the defense will serve the
solieitor>general with copy of its
motion this week and that the
case will then be set for early
hearing.
There is a widespread belief that
one or more of the jurors express
ed an opinion as to Franks guilt
before he was called to serve on
the jury. Two dispositions bearing
upon points of this kind have been
taken from l.. Z. Block and Wal
ter Thomas in Blakely, Ga. The
juror mentioned in the affidavit is
Atticus H. Henslee but just to
what extent the affidavit regarding
his expression of opinion goes, is
not known.

Denton Released

Atlanta, Sept. 25.-That white

dicated by the release here yes
terday on habeas corpus of John
l.. Denton, accused of paying
the transportation of two girls

whole story, the girls mother
insists that he did entice the

railroad fare and keeping her af-

authorities here took the view
that while if this was true, it
might be possible to convict Den

there was nothing to indicate
that he had the slightest inten-
