A great many changes have taken
place in the school system of today

things which only the adult mind can
grasp, and ct the same time, develop
ing morbid curiosity that will have
amazing results.

MILITIA ROW STILL
IN BAD TANGLE

Atlanta, Jan. 27-The decision Of
the Nash-Obear controversy in the state
militia in favor of Quartermaster Cen
eral Obear, has put Adjutant General
nash in a more delicate position. When
he attacked General Obear's office, it
vas generally understood, and in fact
General Nash himself was at least
once quoted as saying, that if Obear
was not ousted, General Nash himself
would resign.
General Nash has not resigned, nor
do his friends think there is any like
1ihood of his doing so. General NasA
maintains that his attitude in the whole
affair has been purely impersonal AMI
was prompted solely by a desire to
bring the military establishment Of
Georgia within the meaning of the
Dick law as he saw it.
General Obear and his friends, how
ever, cannot overlook that fact that
General Nash has a personal dislike
for General Obear.
1t may be that the row will be taken
to the state legislature. Under the de-
cision of Governor Slaton, the Office o.
quarter master general, created by the
Legislature, is one which he cannot alb
olish. Whether General Nash will
drop his efforts to have General
Obear's Office abolished, or whether
the question will be made a political
issue before the next legislative body
is not known.

LOVE SLAVE" TRIES
TO GAIN FREEDOM

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-After litening in
amazement to the story of "love slay-
cry" and hypnotism told by pretty Ger
tude Whinnery, the police and the At
lanta newspaper reporters are rubbing
their eyes and wondering if the story
can possibly be true, or whether Miss
Whinnery has borrowed it from some
melodrama of the movies.
That much over-worked phrase
"love-slave" was used by the young
woman to describe the abject bondage
in which she says she was held by E.
G. House She says that House, whom
she has had arrested, is a hypnotist
possessed of terrible power, and that
she was absolutely dominated by his
will.
Il have seen him take poisonous
snakes in his hands-snakes with their
fangs in-and charm them until they
were as gentle as kittens' she relat-
ed, and much more equally as strange
sounding.
q was his slave. Time after time
tried to escape from his baleful in
tiuence, but couldn't, He is a menace
to the public!"
Miss Whinnery's motives in having
House arrested is that he was quietly
married a day or two ago to another
young lady, Miss Esther Shaw, of Con-
yers.
House is held under 1000 bon3,
while the federal authorities are prob
ing the case.
Whether Miss Whinnery is really the
victim of some strange hypnotic power
or whether she is simply a young VIC
man with a jealous desire for revenge
and perverted imagination, the police
have not yet been able to make up theiy
minds

Beachey to demonstrate the possibil-

Invented and built by Prof Samuel F.

that the machine was right in every
way and needed only better motor.
A telegram received today from
Charles Doolittle Walcott, director Of
the Smithsonian Institute, said that
while it would be inadvisable to take
the wrecked machine from its place in
the museum, every facility would be
afforded to make a perfect reproduce
ton that Lingley's real success may
be shown.

SHE IS REBUKED
FROM THE GRAVE
GIRL WILLED ESTATE BY MOTH.
Err WHOSE DEATH SHE PLOT
TED WEEPS AS REQUEST IS
MADE.

Aledo, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-Julia Flake, the
15-year-old girl who plotted to have
her mother murdered, in order that she
might marry her stepfather, Robert
Higgins, and who wrote the Come over
and kill mama letters, was the sole
BENEFICIARY of her mother'c will, which
was read today Higgins, who has
confessed killing his wife, was cut off
The girl broke down and cried when
she heard the will.
SObbed Out Her Confession.
The girl, a few days ago. confessed
she had schemed to bring about her
mothers murder.
Il did it, yes" she sobbed I'VE did it
both of us, Bob and but don't
know why. We did wrong. l schemed
with him to kill mother. knew he was
going to do it. I wish it hadn't hap
pened. l wish I could undo it."
Think Mother Planned Own Death.
A new theory advanced by friends Of
Mrs. Higgins, that she planned her own
death in the presence of her husband
and daughter, was being considered by
the authorities today The theory finds
support in the fact that although it
was very early in the morning when
Mrs Higgins was shot to death, her
house was in perfect order. Also sup
porting this theory is Higgins re-
peated story 81 had to do it" when ask
ed why he killed his wife,
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Gates, the
first person to enter the Higgins home
ON the morning of January after the
tragedy, said that Mrs. Higgins had
cleaned every room in the house as
carefully as though she was going
sway on a journey. 1t was known that
Ms. Higgins was tired of living with
the man who had mistreated her
daughter and with whom her daughter
was in love, and it was even suggested
that she might have placed in Higgins
hands the gun that killed her an com
manded him to shoot.
Higgins is now in jail facing a
charge of murder, which, despite his
confession, he says he will fight. His
wealthy father will aid him. The girl
has never been arrested
