ELEMENT ON
FIRE ALARM IS
RUMORED
Okonite President Here-PrIce
of $4,000 Said to Have
Been Agreed To.

Rumors that Mayor Woodward has
reached an agreement with the Oko-
mite Company of New York that will
mean the end of his war against the
acceptance of the new fire and police
alarm systems recently installed were
heard in City Hall circles Saturday
It is understood that the Okonite
Company has agreed to take $4,000
for the plant, reduction of about
$4,000 from the original price OF
sos. 600 Conferences were held Sat
urday morning between the Mayor
Assistant City Attorney w. d. Ellis,
w. G. Humphrey, chairman of the
Council Finance Committee; Judge
Spencer Atkinson, representing the
Okonite Company, and it is Sener-
ally believed that the agreement has
been signed and will be presented to
the Council Monday afternoon.
The payment of the amount asked
by the Okonite Company has been
fought bitterly by Mayor Woodward
since the completion Of the system.
The original plan called for the ac-
ceptance of the system by the city
and the payment Of $4,000 a year
rental
when the system would be turned
over to the city.
This plan of binding the city with
a moral obligation" was smashed
by the Mayor when he took the ere
matory fight to the Supreme Court,
and following the decision against
moral obligations, efforts We're then
made to purchase the system out
right The city offered $4,000 for
the plant, but for some time the
company held out for the full amount
of the contract.
Mayor Woodward refused to dis
cuss the rumored settlement Satur
day. declaring that nothing definite
could be done until the Council meets.
He stated, however that President
Canady. of the Okonite Company, has
been in Atlanta since Wednesday
seeking a settlement.

Lilo Guards.


The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part Of the British
household troops. They are gallant SOL
diers. and every loyal British heart is
proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybodys
should have it's life guards. The need OF
them is especially great when the great
est foes of life, diseases. find allies in
the very elements as colds, influenza,
cataTTh. the grip and pneumonia do in
the stormy month of March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys-
greatest of all life guards. 1t removes
the conditions In which these diseases
make their most successful attack. gives
vigor and tone to all the vital organs
and functions, and imparts a genial
warmth to the blood. Remember the
weaker the system the greater the ex-
posture to disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla
makes the system strong AAdvt,

VAN ORSDALE IS
SUCCEEDED BY
COL. GRIFFITH
Seventeenth's Trip Plans May
Call for AII-Rail Journey-Oe-
partUre Date Moi Set.

Colonel Thomas Griffith. until
Thursday in charge of the recruiting
station at Jefferson Barracks, ST.
Louis. will succeed Colonel ]. T. Van
Orsdale in command of the Seven
teenth Regiment, which is due to
leave soon for patrol duty along the
Mexican border. Colonel VanOrsdale
retired Thursday from active service,
under the age limit clause of the
army regula tons
Major Martin, who Gas been in
charge at the local post for the past
few months, has received word that
Colonei Griffith probably will arrive
in Atlanta Saturday afternoon to take
command of the regiment. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will hold the COM
mand permanently. or. at least, as
long as the troops are on the border.
Owing to the inability of the War
Department to get an army trans
port to Savannah in time, changes
have been made in the plans for
transferring the regiment to Laredo.
Texas, where il mas been ordered.
The plan OF going bv rail from At
lanta to Savannah and thence to Gal
weston by water has been abandoned,
and ii is now proposed to make the
trip an all-rail journey.
Waiting for Cars.
1t was stated at Fort Mcpherson
Saturday that. in all probability the
troops will be moved from Atlanta in
three trains Of Pullman. tourist and
baggage cars, and from New Orleans
by rail TO Laredo. provided the local
roads can furnish sufficient num-
Der Of cars.
Friday night there We're not more
than score OF cars in Atlanta avail
able for the troop train, and agents
Of the roads have sent out a hurry
call for rolling stock in anticipation
of the movement of the troops
The orders received from the War
Depa rtment notifying the officers at
the fort of the proposed movement of
the Seventeenth were very indefinite.
Thy stated merely that the regiment
would be moved shortly, without Civ
ing the destination other than Laredo
and without telling them the time Of
departure.
Exact Date Not Set
Captain Bankhead. adjutant of the
regiment. wired his father United
states Senator Bankhead, of Ala
bama. inquiring the destination of the
Seventeenth. The Senator replied
that no plans have been formulated
that contemplate the movement of the
regiment further than to the border
at Laredo, and that the exact date of
the movement has not been set
II is generally believed at the post,
however. that the troops will be or
dered to leave Atlanta Monday morn
ins, as the necessity for more troops
at the border is growing every day.
Prepay tions for departure continued
Saturday. and the regiment is now
ready to leave at almost a moments
notice. The twelve companies of the
regiment, as we'll as the artificers and
musicians, have about completed
packing up the permanent camp
equipment.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
 NEAR CLINTON, TENN.
Son and Parents Murdered By Unknown Persons.
 Widow PrOstrated

Knoxville, April l.-Startled by the noise of a pistol shot at an early hour this morning. Mrs Willard Seivers awoke to find her husband dead on the floor of room of their home. three miles from Clinton. She swooned, but does not know how long she remained unconscious Re- gaining consciousness, she summoned help and dispatched word of the tragedy 10 the parents of her husband. living some three miles distant The messenger. however, was unable to deliver the mes- sage. for investigation showed that the couple had been murdered in their home sometime during the night.
 Jacob Seviers and wife. the parents had been shot to death in the dining room of their home. It is very probable tha- the tragedy may have occurred at sup per time the night previous Officers who spent the day investigating the two trag- edies and coroners jury failed to set any definite clue today
 Some believe that the son killed his parents and later shielded. basing the charge on the ground that cartridges found at the home of the elder couple are the same as those found in the sons pistol. Those who scout this theory claim that the young man could hardly have shot himself in the back of the head where the ball entered and believe that he, too, was murdered. He fell with his pistol under him, which would have hardly been possible, it is claimed, had he shot himself
 Both father and son were prosperous 1 farmers and there was no i'll feeling be. tween them so far as known. The elder Seviers was about 6S years of age and the son B.
