MIR. RANDOLPH HOST
 AT DINNER-DANCE

MT. Theodore Fitz Randolph was host Thursday evening at Roebuck Country club at dinner, entertaining in compliment to the Randolph Kirkpatrick wedding party.

and enjoyed the stir she created at the station. She was garbed in black with a large black hat, against which her sandy hair showed almost gold and she chatted in a most amiable way about her trip and Atlanta and the various things that occurred to her.
 Of course, Atlanta is grieved over the nonappearance of her favorite prima donna, and while it is officially given out that she is i'll with doctor and two trained nurses at her bedside, rumor has 1t that she is entirely too fascinated with her newly acquired husband to go far away from New York. But her failure to fill her engagement caused no disturb ance in the programme. for Lucia and La Boheme" were quickly substituted for Madame Butterfly and "Tosca," and everything was smooth. In spite of the fact that many wanted to see Farror, Barrientos fascinated fully 4500 people in Lucia Tuesday afternoon.
 Atlanta Is full of visitors; there are thousands of them groping their way around the Gate Citys many very windy and very sharp corners, and endeavor- ing to spend their money in Atlanta stores. About every other automobile that one sees Is marked with an Ala ba1na or Tennessee license tag, and At lanta is reaping the rich benefit of their presence
 If one may judge by the number of tranic officers one sees, Atlanta Is the best policed town in the world, for on Wednesday afternoon it took three to direct the traffic and pilot the crowds between the joy lines at Five Points. That's another funny thing about Allan ta, those joy lines. There is a sort of baseball diamond drawn on every cor ner, with the traffic ''cop'' in the pitch CTS box. And it is easy enough to put a man out on first or second or third unless he is an expert at stealing bases
 People at opera Monday night heard the porter call car "No. 3s7," and later "No 419.' so they know there are that many automobiles in Atlanta, but if they happened to miss the 12 o'clock car they either get 8 taxi or walk home. It would seem that Atlanta might have more than one midnight car to accommodate such opera crowds
 But Atlanta is gay. She knows how to be gay-and she is in a gorgeous mood this week. She mimfcs the opera world in the metropolis. Her women are just as beautiful and her men are far less bored than those one might find in New York, but she doesn't content herself with that. She dons her frothiest frock and daintity descends to promenade in the foyer. But the foyer Is not a foyer but rather a vestibule, roughly built, and the promenade becomes a crush before the fntermission has hardly begun, and if one cannot quite reconcile the sight of oxquisitely gowned women and immac- ulately attired men, tilting up bottles and drinking Coca Cola as they would at circus, one is not entirely at fault And if the "entre act" promenade up and down the aisles seems somewhat

CASE OF TREASON
-. FOUND IN IOWA
1t Happened Back In 1861 and Viii
liam Hill was Indicted
There.

William Hill is believed to have
been the only man in the history Of
Iowa who was ever indicted for trea-
son against the United States.
Meager details of the case were
barred, says the Des Moines Capital,
when Deputy Clerk Louis Adelman
unearthed a musty old record book
in. one Of the vaults. The leaves were
yeliowed with age.
The indictment was brought n the
name of the United States and was
returned during the November term
Of court in 1861.
Hill appeared by his attorney, c. G.
Cole of Des Moines, and the records
show that he pleaded mot guilty"
The records do not show whether
or not Hill was ever tried. The only
additional information found Is that
he was given his liberty upon fur
nishing a five thousand bond. He
was cited to appear for trial Janu-
airy Z, 1862.

German Wire Pulling In ChIna's
Affairs.
TBy United Press. !

BY United Press.
TOXIC, March 8.-The extent to
which German wire-puiling is respon-
sible for present political troubles in
I China is being thoroughly investi-
gated by Japanese agents, according
to adyices received here.
German consuls in southern China.
officials here assert, have given moral
support to the revolutionfsts in their
section of the country, especially In
Yunnan province, where Yuan Shi
Kai's authority has been almost over
thrown. Germans are suspected also
of having stirred the Mongolians, in
the far north, to their attempt at a
southwark sweep, with a view to re-
establishing the old Manchu regime.
The Japanese theory is that Ger
many plans a big commercial and
political campaign in .nina after the
war and wants a Pekin government
it can dominate completely. The Ber-
lin government is said not to regard
Yuan as sufficiently plastic and to be
bent on overthrowing him.
Just how far the Japanese propose
to go in opposing this program is not
generally known mere, but the I'M
preston Is that whatever steps may
be deemed necessary, Will be taken
by the authorities.
The Japaneses inquiry is in charge
Of General Aoki at Shanghai. He has
agents under him, however, through
out the whole country and the nature
of the mikados policy, it is believed,
will depend on the report he is eX-
pected to make soon to Toxic.
