Story of Their Love All Bosh, De-

Miss Mile Goggins said Monday
that after she broke her engagement

from another friend, that he came 10
her home at No. 80 Formwalt street
and, she believes. hammered at her
door with the butt Of a revolver, al

McLain, under arrest at the insti-
cation OF the girl, says Miss Goggtns'
statements are all bosh." In this
general Indictment McLain includes

drunken and annoyed her
"A drunken husband would be no
credit to me, however much l loved
him." said the girl.

II don't. never did. and never will
love her." McLain said 81 never
threatened her sweetheart, and had
no intention of doing the young man
any harm. I don't care anything for
Miss Goggins. For all | care all the
young men in town can come to see
her at the same time; it's none of my
affair l went to her home yesterday
to see man named Rutledge. who
boards there, and was on the porch

If ] had been doing anything? The
officer was disguised about the head
and shoulders with someone's hat
and coat, but he had on short pants"
Arrested on Her Porch.
McLain was arrested at Miss
Goggins' home by Policeman Lon
Evans, after Miss Goggins and
young man had telephoned
headquarters and said McLain
was sitting on the porch and
they were afraid to go home, because
the young mechanic had threatened
the young man. They said McLain
was waiting to kill the girl and her
escort.
Policemen Evans and Dodd an
swered the call, and Evans disguised
himself by putting on the young
mans hat and coat and then went
with Miss Goggins to the house,
where they found McLain. The me-
chanic will be tried before Recorder
Broyles Monday afternoon.

IS
LIKELY To GET
MILITIA ROW
Nash-0bear Controversy Appar-
emily Not Ended by Stand
Taken by Governor.

II is the opinion of military men
generally that the Nash Obear con-
troversy, recently decided in favor
Of General Obear by Governor Sla-
ton, will go before the Georgia Leg
islature for a final adjustment.
While neither the Adiutant General
nor the Quartermaster General Will
talk for publication, It may be taken
as a settled fact that neither regards
the controversy as closed, although
neither will indicate what the next
move is to be.
The inference has been drawn In
the minds of some military men, and
so expressed, that General Nash
would resign in the event the Gov
ernor ruled adversely to him in the
matter lately under consideration, but
General Nash himself never has said
that he would do that.
Holds Stand Is lmpersonal.
On the contrary, he has maintained
all along that his attitude was pure
a desire to bring the military estab-
lishment entirely within the meaning
Of the Dick law, the Federal statute
under which it has been organized.
That there are military men whc
differ radically with the Governor In
his Interpretation of the law is true
One Of these gentlemen calls atten-
ton to circular No. 10, recently is
sued by the War Department ir
Washington, concerning this very
subject, in which the Judge Advocate
General of the United States army
the highest legal authority in the
army says
'Inasmuch as, under the Constitu-
ton, Congress has plenary power tc
provide for organizing the militia
there can be no question that
Congressional legislation prescribing
the organization Of the militia is the
supreme law of the land upon that
subject, and that State legislation In
conflict with Congressional Legislation
upon this subject must yield to the
extent that the two are in conflict
