AFTER 5000 NILE HIKE
PEDESTRIANS REACH SAVANNAH

On the last lap of jaunt which
has covered 5000 miles of American
soil, Mr.. B. F. Krall and Mr.. HI.
Cooper, New Workers., arrived in Sa-
rannah last night. Over fourteen
mont ago this pair Of mixer set
out from Manhattan, broken IN
health and without money in their
pockets. Today they have the neces-
sary "kale" to defray their expenses
to Broadway by steamer, have seen
many parts of the country hitherto
unknown to them and have com
nletely recovered from all traces of
previous illness.
Do they like to walk? Well,
rather! II you happen to ask either
of the pedestrians you'll be told
without hesitation that walking on
both feet over rough country roads
is the real direct route to health.
Both Were III.
Mr.. Krall had been suffering with
typhoid fever for more than three
years, when it was suggested to him
that long" walk might he of great
benefit to him. He then in turn
suggested the same remedy to firm
and frail friend-Mr. Cooper. The
compact was made and two deter
mined young men departed from
Manhattan at 6:45 o'clock on the
morning Of June Is, 1914, with far.
away San Antonio, Tex, as their OBJ
jective point.

From the Texas city the two
mixers journeyed to New Orleans, TO
Birmingham and thence to Atlanta.

WALKING, according to Mr.. Krall,
is wonderful. "You see things went
on the hiker. you see things that
are new to you You meet people
who seem glad to see you, and who
you'd like to meet again"
Both New Workers state tina.

Cooper has gained seven pounds
marching through Beorgia."
The two mixers have had, at dir
ferent points along their route, hair
raising experiences At Bogue
Chitte, Miss, they were engaged b.
the sheriff to assist in the search for
a negro murdered. This man hunt"
said the mixers, ivan unsuccessful
but thrilling"
When the two pedestrians from
Broadway reached the town of Tai
lapoosa, Ca, the big revolver of the
tow marshal was thrown in their
faces.
Wanted for Burglary
They were wanted" for cracking
the safe of the bank of Rockmart,
and carrying away what coin tina;
was contained therein. Tt took quite
a little amount of explaining and
liberal production of alibis to con-
vinuce the enterprising exponent of
the law that the mixers were no:
allied with Jimmy Valentine.
The New Workers have note books
containing the signatures of Cover.

states through which they have
passed. The signatures of Heller
Keller and Secretary Tumulty are
conspicuous among the names of the
different celebrities.

to fight the Davis package law which
goes into effect Oct. l and abolishes
the saloon, with its drinking at the
bar, as now conducted. The Jackson

John e. Hartridge, a lawyer of that
city, who has prepared long opin-

holes in the law on constitutional
grounds and the issue will be taken

RAE TANZER DENIES
NEW RECLAMATION
Rumor Of Change in Story A.
ter Sentencing Of Stafford
in Osborne Case.

Soon after Franklin d. Sanford. former
clerk at the Kensington Hotel. at Plain
field " J., was sentenced to nine
months on Blackwelrs Island and fined
81 by Judge Hough In the United States
District Court yesterday for committing
perjury In the Tanzer-Osborne case.
rumors that Rae Tanner had made an
other recantation spread rapidly through
the Federal Building. They were based
on a visit Of Harold Sp!elberg. her coun-
sell TO the office OF United States At
troney H. Snowden Marshall. but both
Spielberg and Miss Tanner denied that
there was any truth In them.
It IL not unlikely, however. that the
next turn In the case may be plea OF
guilty Neither Mr.. Marshall. nor his
assistants nor Mr.. Splelberg would ad-
NIT that any overtures had been made
in behalf OF Niss Tanner or her two
sisters. Tho sisters are under indict-
ment fov perjury and Miss Tanner 10
charged with using the malls to defraud
James w Osborne. The Federal Grand
Jury will take UP In a day or two her
testimony at the Stafford trial in connec-
ton with her previous sworn state
ments.
Mr. Spielberg said he asked Mr.. Mar
shall to try the three girls together and
Mr.. Marshall took the matter under con-
sideration. Mr.. Spielberg SAID later that
he believed all three would stand trial.
In sentencing Stafford. who Identified
James w. Osborne as Rae Tanners
escort to Plainfield on October ls last,
Judge Hough said; II consider Stafford
very small cog In \ very big wheel"
BENJAMIN Slade asked that the verdict
be set aside He will move for an ap-
peal, but Stafford will begin serving his
sentence meanwhile. Mr.. Marshall was
satisfied with the verdict. He believed
Saffords case was the hardest OF the
seven indictments 10 try. He said yes
terday that he thought tho SHADES had
wanted the clerk tried nrst for that
reason.
II am broken hearted over Sanord's
sentence" said Miss Tanner In Spiel
berg's office. The poor old man! !
would be willing to serve his sentence
for him"
