Two husky white footpads were
convinced Friday they had made
bad pick Thursday night when, about
7 o'clock. one of them started the
highwayman business al the corner Il

was the so-to speak thugs selected

Mir. Newton didn't think enough OF
the affair, after it was all over, to re-
port It to the police. In fact, II m
acquaintance of Mr.. Newton's hadn
been on the street car which ne
boarded after the dust cleared away,
the story might never have come out.
Mr. Newton is a member of the
Atlanta Athletic Club. He is large,
robust young man. and one of the

CAPITALIST NEW
ENTRY IN 1874
CAMPA|C

Martin F. Amorous, ex-memher of
the City Council and prominent CAPT
talist, Friday announced that he
would run for Mayor in the next
election.
Most political experts have been
skeptical of the reports that Mr.. Am
orous was to run since he always has
been a close friend of Mayor Wood
ward, and It is generally understood
that Mayor Woodward again will be
candidate,
Il am not running against Mayor
Woodward or anyone else" he said.
He, with others, has been mentioned
as a probable candidate, but no one
has announced. / don't know who is
going to run except myself. l will"
Likely to Weaken Woodward
The announcement puts a complete
new angle on Atlanta's political sit
uation. Mr.. Amorous undoubtedly
will command some of Mayor Wood
wai-N< regular support. He also will
get encouragement from elements
that never have supported Mayor
! Woodward.
| Mayor Woodward is going to run,
If fate will permit. His close friends
do not have any doubt about that.
Mr.. Amorous was told this.
Il have seen Mayor Woodward
since 1t has been reported that /
would be a candidate" he said He
| didn't mention the matter to me nor
to him. If he had mentioned 1t
would have told him
Il have retired from active busi-
ness and haven't anything to do. l
want to be Mayor"
Who else will be a candidate is
more uncertain than ever.
Booms of Others Growing.
! Colonel Walter p. Andrews, consid-
cred probable candidate, is In Eu-
rope as a special envoy of President
Wilson and will not return to Atlanta
until April He said he would an
nounce his decision at that time.
Alderman John S. Gambler, urged
by many to enter the contest, has
positively declined, but some of his
friends are hopeful that he will re-
consider the matter.
LIT is not unlikely that Carlos Fl.
Mason. chairman of the Police Com
mission, will be a candidate. Mr.. Ma
son says he doesn't want to run, but
a growing boom is on for him.
Forrest Adair practically has elm
mated himself by declining to con-
slider the matter.

The epic Of mother-lo love has never
been written. 1t is lived, though, eV-
cry day, and in it's eternal, tender
theme there are many variations, that
sometimes run to tragedy.
There is the story of the life and
death of Mrs Jacques Bradley Swift,
former chorus girl-and a mother
Many persons there are in Atlanta
who loved the little woman, and to-
dav. the day of her burial in Wash
ington. they are speaking softly or
her, and of her great love for her
child
Very softly indeed, in voice modu-
, lated to the tone one uses in speak
ing of sacred things, woman told
The Georgian the story of Jacques
Bradley Swift's devotion.
There was one real thing in
jacques Bradley's life she said, her
love for the little girl she was hard
! ly more than a girl herself when she
died in Washington Wednesday. But
she learned early her great lesson Of
devotion.
Her Death a Tragedy.
/ Sometimes | think it was a trag-
| edy, her death. Maybe it was. And
| yet she had lived, these last three
years of her life, lived warmly, hap
| PLY, in her great love for the little
! girl There was only one purpose
| in her life, it seemed, and that was
! the care and protection of her daugh-
| ter.
| ITO day, we who were her friends
| in Atlanta realize that the mark OF
| death was on her some time ago. !
| am certain that, without the little
daughter, she would have died long
before she did. She lived for the

Bradley knew that the stage, which
she loved must be forgotten. Yet as
she lay i'll she worried constantly OF

CUP CLASS SLOOP
 ABSOLUTE SCORES
 EIGHTH VICTORY

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 26-The cup class Sloop Resolute scored her eighth victory in the preliminary racing series today. The contest was sailed in light to moderate and shifting winds. Except for the first three miles the race was a procession with the Herreshoff yacht making the pace. The Resolute's margin in corrected time at the finish over the vanitie was five minutes and 46 seconds and over the Defiance six minutes and 32 seconds. The Vanitie beat the Defiance 46 seconds in corrected time.
 While the Resolute's supremacy in to- days race was not threatened at any stage of the contest except on the first leg, the Vanitie and Defiance seemed to hold her a trifle better than in previous races.
 Most of the yachtsmen following the three boats are anxious for what old sea man call ''breeze of wind' for except for one contest two weeks ago off Sandy Hook the yachts have been sailing in light and moderate airs, which usually have shifted several times during the contest. Better conditions are looked for, week after next when the Newport series begins.
 The wachts will race again tomorrow.

JAP PANESE PROBLEM AGAIN DISCUSSED
Jap Note Which Reopened Subject Will Be
 Printed

Washington, June 26.-Japans pro-
 tests against the California alien land law, brought conspicuously before the
 public again by publication of cores
 pondenoe between the Washington
 and Tol<io governments, was discussed
 with interest here today in official and diplomatic circles. Secretary Bryan said the Japanese note of June 10, last, which reopened the subject. would be
 made public with the American reply within a few days.
 It is known that Japan adbandon- ing the idea of negotiating a new treaty to guarantee the property rights to It's subjects, now has asked for reply to its note of August 26. last, in which the United States was pressed to stop the obnoxious dis l elimination resulting from the Cali fornia legislation. There Is but one remedy this note said, and the im- perial government Is unable to escape the conclusion that the duty of ap- plying that remedy devolves solely on the government of the United States.' One phase of the negotiations dis closed in the correspondence which at tracted particular interest was said to suggest the possibility of an issue en- tirely new in the history of the United States. In italics in connection with the promise by the Japanese government to grant land ownership to Americans appeared the words, "reserving for the future, however, the right of main taining the condition of reciprocity with respect to the separate states. Thtx~ 1t was pointed out, appeared to be q distinct reservation by the Jap anese government of the right to re taliate directly on the Californians by singling them out among American citizens for exclusion from the right to possess real property in Japan.

 Reports from the principal trade cen ters continue irregular, but favorable ad- vices outnumber those of opposite char aoter, especially in agricultural sections, the prospect of another year of bounti- ful harvest stimulating sales in the west and the southwest.
 '@The large dry goods suspension and the disastrous fire in New England nat urally were disturbing features late in the week. High temperatures again facili- tated the distribution of saleable mer- chandise.
 This month has witnessed an expan- sion in demand for iron and steel, yet price concessions are still feature. The transporting companies are still buying in conservative manner. There was 8 decrease of 5.7 per cent in the gross earn ings of railroads reporting for two weeks of June.
