MULE MEN PLAN
|. BIC MARKET HERE
Atlanta Mentioned for Headquar-
tiers of Association Being Or
gained by Raisers.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. 16.-
Atlanta is being considered as the
headquarters of the proposed Ameri-
can Mule Association, the big live
stock enterprise that is scheduled for
organization here to-day, many States
participating in the movement that is
to be formed to give recognition to
the mule as distinct type and estab-
fish a standard with classification
both in the sale and shipment of sucn
animals.
The plan for the organization was
originated several months ago by viii
s. Williams, of Maury County, and
has met with enthusiastic encourage
ment from the mule raiser and deal
ers over the country, Atlanta stands
third among the mule markets of the
United States and would perhaps de-
velop into the biggest market with
the establishment of headquarters for
the new association. Only three other
cities are being considered. Nashville,
Louisville and St. Louis.
live stock journal devoted ex-
clusively to the mule industry in all
of its aspects will be one of the fea-
lures of the movement TO develop
mule raising in this country for home
use and export trade. With the great
advance i'm recent years in this class
of stock and the opening of the Pana-
ma Canal the industry is expected to
reach enormous proportions in the

MILLS VIOLATING
LAW, SAYS JUDGE
County Official Urges CompuI-
sorry Education as Help in
Checking Child Labor,

Sixty four per cent Of the cotton
mills of Georgia are willfully violat-
ing the provisions of the State child
labor law. asserted Judge w. w. Tin
dali, of the Juvenile Court of Fulton
County, who conducted the Sunday
evening services at the Ponce DeLeon
Avenue Baptist Church. Judge Tin
dali quoted from statistics compiled
by the Government to substantiate
his charge.
Ignorance is responsible for this
condition of affairs said the judge.
what we need most in this section
of the South is compulsory educa-
ton"
He said the argument that compul-
sorry education would necessitate a
double school system, one for the
whites and one for the negroes, is
pure buncombe.
1--WE have the negro problem to
face here, and in what better manner
could we face it than to teach the
negro to take care of himself?' asked
Judge Tindall
The North, he said, has had more
difficult situation than the negro
problem to deal with, the mainte-
nance of an element of population 1t
could not assimilate-the foreigner.

CHURCH RIOT IS
LED BY WOMEN;
100 INJURED

SOUTH BEND, IND, Feb 10
Warrants were issued to-day for so
men and women of st. Casimir's Pol
ish Catholic Church. who were iden-
tilted as leaders of yesterdays riot
in which 100 persons were hurt and
the house of Father Stanislaus Gruza,
adjoining the church, was wrecked.
More than 1000 persons, most of
them women, took part In the rioting.
A few shots were fired, but Mrs Anna
Kowalski received the only bullet
wound. Her injury was not serious.
The police. deputy sheriffs and city
firemen made several attacks upon
the mob which surrounded the priests
many rioters fell during the fighting.
Every time the police attempted to
make an arrest the mob overwhelmed
the officers and released the prisoners.
When the police began using their
clubs the rioters tore pickets from
the church fence and returned blow
for blow. Firemen attempted to
drive the crowd away with streams
Of water, but members of the mob
cut the hose.
The trouble in the church started
more than a year ago with the ap-
pointment OF Father GruZa as pas
tor of St Casimirs. The congrega-
ton OF $50 families refused to ac-
cept him. The matter was carried
to the papal delegation in Washing
ton. Yesterday afternoon Father
Gruza attempted to enter his house
with a police guard.
After the police failed to stop the
riot the mob went on with its work
Of wrecking the priests house, stop
ping when 1t reached a crucifix I'M
der the portraits of Pope Leo XIII
and Pope Plus X.

SAFE IN PRIVATE
HOME BLOWN;
$4,000 GONE

MILLEDGEVILLE, Feb. 16.-Three
robbers blew the large safe in the
home of c. H. Bonner, in the heart of
this town, early to-day, and carried
away a large amount of money.
The robbers caught Bonner's private
night Waterman and bound him with
a rope, and while one kept watch over
him the others blew the safe. 1t took
three charges to 90 the work.
Bonner is the wealthiest man in
this section of the State, and always
has kept his money in his private
safe instead of the banks. He would
not give cut the amount that the safe
blowers carried away, but it is re-
ported they got about $25, 1000.
No clew can be found to the rob-
bers.

Child With EventfuI Past, Which,
of Course, She Doesn't I'm
derstand, Happy Now.

Little Lena Swift. the Thirty
Thousand Dollar BABY" is in her new
home in Atlanta. with her grand
mother, Mrs. Lena Swift Huntley.
And little Lena is happy.
Lena, of course. was too young to
understand anything of the tragedy
in the separation of her father and
mother. She understood nothing OF
the domestic troubles-except per-
haps, that mamma cried a good deal,
and that she (the little Lena) COM
forted her with small arms and large
kisses.
The little Lena understood nothing
of the divorce, or of the legal tangles,
and she could not possibly have
known what caused the papers to
print haring headlines about her
mother giving up 100000 so that she
might keep the little Lena.
All this went clear over little Lena's
head, which isn't yard from her
small feet as get And when her
mother died in Washington-well, you
know how it is with a child. A lone
someness. and a questioning that is
net directly answered. and then a
getting used to it; quickly, as a child
does things.
Little Lena's auntie was very good
to her, and so was little Lena's
grandmother And the little Lena,
not questioning the sacrifice of the
one or the devotion Of the other, is at
home now in the Peachtree street
mansion of Mrs. Huntley, and is be-
ginning to be very happy.
Her past has been eventful, you see
but it was very short; gagged (you
might say by the tinyness of the lit
tie Lena herself.

Postal savings bonds will soon be

on January 1 some of the deposit
tors of the postal savings bank in At
lanta took advantage of the oppor-
tunity given them by Uncle Sans
bank to buy Government bonds bear
ing 2 IL per cent interest. The bonds
will be dated January 1, 1914, but, on

Twice year-in January and July
the Government allows its deposi-
tors in the Postal Savings Bank to
make application for bonds. These
bonds are OF two kinds. Registered
bonds have names of depositors on
them. Coupon bonds are transfera-
BILE, and can be collected by anyone.
The Atlanta bank has been stead
lily increasing in deposits since 1t was
established a year and half ago. Six
hundred and seventy-five dcpositors
have taken advantage Of 1t. Some
$4,000 has been deposited. A bill has
passed the House and is now pending
in the Senate to remove the restrfc-
ton on the amount that may be ac-
cepted from each depositor as a postal
savings deposit, with the proviso that
interest shall not be paid on more
than $1,000.
1t is thought that when this blu Is
passed it will mean that the postal
savings deposits will double in a
short while. Since the bank was es-
tablished the international money or
Ger business has been at a standstill.

FUNERAL HALTED
by DEMAND FOR
CRAVE FEE

Attorney j. Spence McClelland
Monday threatened a $4,000 damage
suit against the Atlanta Cemetery
Association in behalf of the relatives
of Mrs. Lena Davis as the outcome of
a pathetic incident Sunday when the
burial services for Mrs. Davis were
halted by Sexton William Plaigwitz's
refusal to open a grave or permit 1t TO
be opened until he had been paid
$3.50.
Mrs. Davis died Saturday morning
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Sa-
rah Roper, No. IFS Ecno street. near
the Exposition Cotton Mills Know
ing the family to be in impoverished
circumstances, neighbors proposed
Sunday that they go out to the North
view Cemetery, formerly known as
Caseys Cemetery. and dig the grave
so as to avoid the expense to which
the relatives would be put in having
it dug.
Friends Offer Services.

Thomas Fowler and a Mr.. Crowley
took shovels and picks and went TO

chased before the Atlanta Cemetery
Association was formed. The funeral
was in progress and the grave half
finished when 1t is said that Sexton
Plaigwitz appeared and told the men
to stop, as they had no right to dig
the grave.
He added, according to the story
told by the men, that he would not
dig 1t until he was given $3.50. Mr..
Sweat told him that the mother of
Mrs. Davis did not have any money
to pay for the digging of the grave,
and the sexton is said to have retorted
that that fact made no difference TO
him.
The four, their picks and shovels on
their shoulders, hurried to the Raper
house just as the little funeral cortege
was coming from the door The body
was taken back to the Poole under
taking rooms.
Manager Upholds Sexton.
THE sexton was wholly within his
rights" said S. P. Marsh, superintend
ent and manager of the Northview
Cemetery. The incident was regret
table, but it was hardly to be avoid
ed. Plaigwitz could not do anything
but observe the rules and regulations
of the cemetery association. He would
have been disobeying orders had he
done anythin else.
ut is true that the lot belonged tC
| the family, but it was still subject tc
| the cemetery rules and regulations
| The association, if the family is des-
