AUTO TURNS TURTLE
PARTY IN WHICH WAS STEVE
PACE, FORMERLY OF DAWSON,
HAS TRAGIC END.

The overturning of an automobile
near Buena Vista Thursday resulted
in the oath of two of the occupants
and probably fatal injury to another,
while four others escaped with only
severe bruises.
Miss Edith Hildreth of Live Oak,

neck being broken and skull crushed.
Henry Lanier, aged 20, driver of the
car. was crushed beneath the steer
ing wheel, dying at 4:30 o'clock at
Ellaville. where he was taken after
the wreck.
Miss Sarah Tower, of Americas,
aged 10, was perhaps fatally injured,
and her recovery is considered very
doubtful. o. S. Pace of Americas
sustained sprained ankle and minor
injuries. Miss Mary Belle HiXon had
her foot badly cut, and Miss Mildred
Hollis and John FlournOy OF Amerl-
Gus escaped with minor scratches.
The party was going from Ameri-

when a tire burst. Physicians were
rushed to the scene and the injured
brought to the Americas hospital.
Miss Hildreth was the guest Of Mrs.
L. G. Council of Americas. Her body

VISITORS QUESTIONED AND
GUARDS DOUBLED AT CAPITOL
To Keep Bombs From Being Placed
i'm Government Buildings.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The watch
fulness of the guards about all of
the principal government build
ings in the capitol has been redoub-
led on orders. Guards stationed at
strategic positions commanding all
the entrances to the building which
houses the state, war and navy de-
partments were under orders today
to question and if necessary search
any persons of whom they had
doubts. Any one carrying a package
of any sort was subject to question
ing. Hundreds of tourists go through
the building daily.
Since a bomb explosion wrecked a
room in the capitol last summer and
bomb plots generally have kept the
detectives busy there
has been more than usual activity
among the guards here now, but the
watch is even more strictly kept.
Guards employed by railroad COM
panies are constantly on duty in the
railroad tunnel leading to the bridge
over the Potomac river, which is the
principal gateway to the South,

LITTLE BOY PLAYING HORSE
ATE POPCORN AND DIED
After Being Driven a While Was FED
and Died a Few Hours Later.


MOULTRIE, Ga.-Soon after he
learned to totter around Sheldon
Wilson, two-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Wilson, liked to play
horse ever so we'll. Sometimes he
wanted to be the driver and again
he wanted to be driven. It's an inno-
cent little game and that tragedy
could grow out of it seemed remote
possibility-but one did.
Saturday afternoon Sheldon was
acting the horse, and to make the
game more realistic his little driver
carried along some popcorn for his
prancing "steed." The little boys
hadn't driven long before it was time
to feed. Carrying out his part Shell
don swallowed several grains OF the
corn
A few hours later he became Vio-
lently i'll. Everything possible was
done to give him relief, but the
rough edges of the corn had pertor-
ated the child's intestines, and death
followed late in the day at the home
of his grandparents at Ochlocknee,
where Sheldon and his mother were
visiting.

STARVATION STALKS
ABROAD IN MEXICO
Women and Children Eat Poisonous
Plants and Drop in the Streets
From Dire Hunger.

Women and children in Mexico
City of the poorer classes are starv-
ing. Conditions there beggar de-
scription, said DR.. c. j. O'Connor,
who has just returned from Mexico
City, where he was head of the Amer
lean Red Cross work.
"The death rate, especially in Mex
leo City," said DR.. O'Connor, is ex-
ceedingly high. l have seen women
and children, along with dogs, dig
ging in garbage piles for bit of food.
On the outskirts of the city have
seen them living on pigweed, alfalfa,
and parts of the century plant. These
weeds are poisonous, but they are
boiled in pots and eaten. The people
have nothing else. Eating them
causes death by dropsy eventually
Children Drop in Streets.
"The children are in terrible con-
dition. Frequently calls come in at
the hospital to attend persons, often
children. VINO have dropped in TIC
streets. In most cases it was from
Sta walton. We hoped all we cou'd,
but such cases could not be kept long
er than three or four days.
Dr. O'Connor said the average
wage Of a Mexican laboTer, when
work was tC be obtained, was about
Is cents to a $3.50, Mexican money.
Just before ! left Mexico City.
said he, Il saw in a shop window a
LOAF of bread, weighing probably two
pounds, placarded with the price 81.
There is very little work to be had,
and naturally men cannot buy food
at such prices.
tually all shops, hotels and resUau~
rants are closed. Crops this year are
far below normal. There is food in
Mexico, but it is boarded and sold at
exorbitant prices.

QUERY BRANNON
PUT IN RIGHT LIGHT
A Misleading Item Was Sent Out
Under Eufaula Date Line
Concerning Him.

The numerous friends here of Mr..
L. G. Brannon, will read with both
interest and pleasure the following
card from his attorney, Judge j. r.
Pottle. Mr.. Brannon is confident of
being acquitted by the courts of any
blame for the failure OF the George
town bank:
The news item published under an
Eufaula date line in reference to Mr..
L. G. Brannon, of Georgetown, Ga.
does him an injustice which l am
sure you will be glad to correct.
MIR. Brannon was a guest at my
home when informed over the tele-
phone that a warrant had been issued
against him in connection with the
recent failure of the Bank of George
town. No effort was made by him
to conceal his whereabouts, and this
is made manifest by the fact that he
was Immediately located over the tel
ephone after the warrant was issued.
He at once called up the sheriff and
indicated his willingness to return
Immediately to Georgetown, but
since his business here had not been
concluded the sheriff told him to wait
until Sunday. l am informed that he
reached home Sunday in the fore
noon. and that his friends very readi-
ly made the bond required by the
court.
'Those who are acquainted with
with Mr.. Brannon's high character
are unwilling to believe that he has
been guilty of any illegal or fraudu-
lent conduct in reference to the
banks affairs; and I think it is due
him that the unfair impression Great
ed by news reports from Eufaula
should be corrected. J. R. POTTLE.

very friendly to the institution he
would like to give DR.. Matheson a tip.
which was that members of the leg

tickets to the Tech-GeOrgia game,
before appropriations were voted
upon, but had got none to the Tech
Auburn game, after appropriations
had been voted on, and after the

If there's anything DR.. Matheson

SLAYER WAS deaf
TO VICTIMS PLEAS
MATRONI'S BODY TRAAIPLED IN
TO NEW MADE GRAVE AS HE
BEGGED FOR MERCY.
WIDOW REVEALS THE CRIME
Murderer Points Out the Place, and
COnfeSseS His Guilt. Brutal Crime
Revealed After Months.

BATAVIA, n. Y.-Luigi Matroni
was buried alive in the cellar of his
home near Corfu in May, 1914, his
body being trampled into a newly
made grave while he still begged for
mercy. according to a story told by
his widow to District Attorney Coon
here today. Antonio BOLIVIA, the al
legged murderer. pointed out today
the spot where the crime took place
and a body was found which Mrs.
Matroni identified as that of her hus-
band. BOLIVIA has confessed, the dis
trict attorney said.
Witnessed Murder.
BOLIVIA, who is Mrs. Matroni's SON
in-law, is serving a six months pris-
on term for stabbing. Mrs. Matroni
came from Syracuse to tell the story
of the murder, which she declared
she and her young son had witness
ed. Her long silence, she said, was
due to fear of BOLIVIA, who had threat
ened her and her son. When she
learned he was in prison she felt safe
to tell.
Mrs. Matroni said that her husband
was felled by a blow from pickaX
handle welded by BOLIVIA. He was
knocked unconscious, but revived be-
fore the grave had been dug in the
cellar. He pleaded with BOLIVIA for
mercy just before he was thrown into
the pit and trampIed under the
ground, she says.
BOLIVIA COnfesses.
After hearing the woman's story
Coon and Sheriff Edgerton took Boil
iva to the farm where the Matronis
formerly lived. Bolivia at first denied
knowledge of the murder, but later
he confessed and told the men where
to dig. said District Attarney Coon.
They found the body under nine feet
of earth, the house having been torn
down and the cellar filled in after the
Matronis moved away
BOLIVIA killed MatrOni, he told the
district attorney, because after his
marriage to MatrOn's stepdaughteT
she told him that Matroni attacked
her the day before the wedding.
