STRIKE SITUATION
GRAVE IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE general
strike situation here is more serious
today than at any time since the Cen
trail Trades Federation determined to
aid the striking street car men in their
struggle with the operating compan-
les Labor leaders who claim to
command seven hundred and fifty
thousand organized workmen in
Greater New York and vicinity are now
threatening to call a big strike in
sympathy with the motormen and con-
ductors on the Subway and elevated
lines in Manhattan and the Borough OF
the Bronx. The strike of tie car men
has seriously impeded service in the
burough named and in Westchester
county street car service is virtually
tied up altogether.
Union leaders declared this after
noon that, if necessary. fifty thousand
union men can be called out within six
hours, while traction officials attrib-
uted the trouble experienced on the
subway and elevated lines to the un-
rrecedented increase in traffic, due to
the stoppage of operation of surface
lines The union leaders contest this
statement with the counter assertion
that the detection of street car en-
ployees is responsible for the conges-
ton on those lines still operating, and
the reduced number of cars being
moved.

MAINE VOTERS ARE NAMING
NEW OFFICIALS AT POLLS

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 11.-Maine
voters balloted today for a governor,
two United States senators, four con-
eressmen, members of the state leg
islature and state auditor, and early
indications are that a heavy vote will
be rolled. National issues were given
unusual prominence during the cam
paign by candidates of both parties
and today's election is expected to
forecast the sentiment of the nation
toward the federal administration. Fair
weather prevails throughout the
state and republicans and democrats
alike claim victory. The polls claim
at O'Clock this afternoon, and the
result will be announced, probably
early Tuesday.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF

n account of Mr.. Browns card on the
STRIPPING case. They understand that
Mr.. Brown honestly differed with Gov
.crncl Harris on this point, and believe
he Nas persuaded by the Dorsey back
ing, which had old affiliations with Mr..
Brown, to write this card And they
know also that Mr.. Brown had moth
ing further to say against the governor
and nothing whatever to say in favor
of Mr.. Dorsey. So the attempt to
make it appear that Mr.. Brown is
Dorsey enthusiast failed of its effect.
A prominent lawyer said yesterday
that Governor Brown had told him
some time ago he intended voting for
Harris, though he differed with him on
the Stripping pardon, and there has
been no announcement that he has
changed his mind.
The Dorsey meeting at the Grand in
Atlanta Saturday night was big one
and an enthusiastic one, so far as
noise was concerned. But the Grand
seats only 2,7OO persons, and its upper
gallery was not full. There were prob
ably 1000 voters there and among them
were hundreds of we'll known anti
Dorsey men. And there are 16,05S reg
istered white voters in the county. The
dorsey headquarters had advertised
overflow meetings with prominent
speakers, but there was no overflow to
be exhorted And that was on Satur-
day night, when all Atlanta comes up

Clark Howell Days.

The Dorsey newspaper, which has
never Endorsed Mr.. Dorsey on its edi-
torial page, sprang its claim of 103
counties for Dorsey. 1t was reminded
by contemporary of a certain famous
race Of exactly ten years ago, when
Mr. Clark Howell claimed in that news
paper, on the eve of election day, more
than 100 counties and proved it by fig
ures. But the returns gave Mr. How
ell just five counties. Ninety-five had
proved that figures sometimes go
wiring
Governor Harris returned to Atlanta
yesterday from big meeting at Athens
and spent the day quietly in the mon
sion He had nothing new to say, ex-
cept that he was perfectly contenteG
with the outlook and felt confident he
would get majority at the polls, elm
mating any chance of cry against
convention politics. He makes his
Atlanta address tonight at the Lyric
Theatre, the larger Grand being occu-
pied by theatrical company. After
that comes the voting.
That the nomination of Governor
Harris will be made at the polls is the
confident opinion of his friends. The
mail which arrives every day at his
Headquarters sounds the note of vic
tory. Three weeks ago mis- friends
were writing that things looked blue
in their county. A week later they
said they had hopes, now that the gov
ernor was out speaking. A week ago
they began to say Harris could carry
the county if the anti-Dorsey vote
didn't split too badly. But for the
past three or four days the letters and

Statement from Hardman.
The following statement was sent to
tie Recorder from the head
quarters of DR.. Hardman in Atlanta,
with request for publication:
To the Voters of Georgia:
Reports to the effect that l have
formed coalition with or entered
into frame-up with any other candi-
date for governor are absolutely and
utterly without foundation.
/ believe the people of Georgia are
too intelligent to give credence to these
wild and unwarranted rumors which
have been employed as the last re-
sort in the brazen attempt to under
mine my statewide strength.
am in the race to win and my
friends everywhere are urged to re-
double their efforts in behalf of my
cause. Repudiate at the polls the tao
tics of the partisans who have endeav-
ored to mislead the voters of Georgia.
Make no concessions. l have the
race won and this fact constitutes the
basis for the ignoble efforts now be-
ing put forth to stem the great tide in
my favor. Respectfully,
L. G. HARDMAN.

To The
People Of
Georgia.:

The Legislature in passing the
recent Act creating three new
judgeshiIs on the Court of APP
peals Bench, did so for the pur-
pose of relieving the congested
condition of the dockets of the
Supreme Court and the Court of
Appeals. 1t is, therefore, of
pressing Importance for the peo-
pie to elect three men to these
positions who have the ability,
energy and disposition to per-
form great deal of judicial
work in order to carry out the
purpose of this Act Bearing
this important condition in mind,
l take pleasure in giving my I'M
qualified endorsement to Hon. o.
H. B. Bloodworth, my fellow
townsman and longtime friend.
His educational advantages and
many years of active practice at
the Flint Bar, together with his
fourteen years of experience as
Solicitor General, added to his
untiring energy and even avidity
for labor, peculiarly qualify him
for one of the new judgeships. I
feel sure that if he is elected,
the people will find in him a
perfect fulfil1ment of all the re-
quirements which go 10 make up
the patient, intelligent, capable
and Woodworking judge who
will do his full part towards re-
lieving the congested condition
Of the two court dockets of our
appellate courts, as we'll as make
ready disposition og new cases
that may be carried to the
Court of Appeals. Respectfully
OGDEN PERSONS,
President, State Senate.

Webster's Power Over Audience.

An interesting anecdote Of Daniel
Webster is found in "Bygone Days in
Boston" in the North American Re-
view. Webster was delivering an adj
dress in Faneuil hall on the necessity
for individual exertion and untiinch-
ing patriotism to avert the dangers
that threatened the political party
whose principles he espoused, when
he perceived a terrible sway Of the
packed assembly, consequent on the
rush Of those endeavoring to enter
and noted the danger that might en-
sue. The orator stopped short in the
middle of sentence, advanced to the
edge of the platform, extended his
arms in an authoritative attitude, and,
in a stentorian voice Of command,
cried out: Let each man stand FIRM"
The effect was instantaneous. Each
man stood firm; the great heaVing
mass Of humanity gained its equilib-
rum, and, save the long breath of re-
lief that filled the air, perfect stiffness
ensued. "That," exclaimed the great
orator, "is what we call self-govern
ment!" so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafen-
ing cheers.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RhDlUM
Found Only In the Most Minute Cuan
tities-Minerals That Carry 1t
Easy to Determine.

Radium is a metal and is described
as having a white metallic luster. It
has been isolated only once or twice
and few people have seen it. Radium
is ordinarily. obtained from its ores in
the form of hydrous sulphate, chloride
or bromide, and it is in the form OF
these salts that it is usually sold aid
used. These are all white or nearly
white substances, whose appearance
is no more remarkable than common
salt or baking powder. Radium is
found in nature in such exceedingly
small quantities that it is never visible
even when the material is examined
with a microscope. Ordinarily radiu.n
ore carries only small fraction OF a
grain to the ton Of material, and ra'
dunn will never be found in large guam
titles because it is formed by the Ge'
cay of uranium, a process which IS
wonderfully slow, and radiun itself de-
Gays and changes to other elements so
rapidly that it is impossible for it to
accumulate naturally in visible masses!
Minerals that carry radium however,
are fairly easy to determine. One OF
them, pitchblende, as generally found,
Is black mineral about as heavy as
ordinary iron, but much softer. The
principal radium mineral, carnotite,
has bright canary yellow color, and
is generally powdery. There are other
radium-bearing minerals Of less i'm
portance.

Five Kinds of Thunderstorms

Recent study Of thunderstorms has
resulted in sciences dividing them
into five distinct types. They are the
heat thunderstorms which occur in
regions of high temperature and near.
ly uniform pressure; storms which
occur in the southeast quadrant of an
almost circular cyclone; storms which
occur between two anticyclones; and
those which occur on the boundary be.
tween warm and cold waves. Of these,
all but the first ar> produced by the
over and undermining oil winds of
different temperatures, which in some
way not yet understood, cause masses
of moist air to rise.

He stopped abruptly. 1t would never
do to let Cyrilla realize that he had
other views of their future than living
on in the Square. And if little
CLEAN came into Cyrilla's eyes Freddy
did not notice it.
They were to be married in early
autumn. That summer Cyrilla behaved
in an unprecedented manner; she ac-
cepted an invitation from friend to
spend week up-country.
Left to himself, Freddy pinned in his
fathers law office. When his vacation
arrived he decided not to take one. He
was moping. Somehow Cyrilla's let
tiers seemed awfully cold. Did Cyrilla
love him we'll enough to become his
wife? That was the question he put to
himself.
mol" was the answer that his inner
consciousness Numbered out one af-
ternoon. mo! And I am going to Of
fer her her freedom. And am going
to break away!"
He told his father that he would
take his vacation after all. He went
to the Catskills and selected a little
hotel there filed with shopgirls and
young men from the stores at eight
dollars a week. And there he plunged,
with a sense of awful wickedness, into
a new life.
The region was simply dotted with
hotels. In every forest glade one came
upon spooning couples. On every lake
rang out the voices of hilarious young
people. Freddy flung himself into it
all with zest He made desperate love
to a little girl who sold perfumery at
Stacey's, and had apparently abstract
ed a good deal of the stock to pour
over herself. He spent the mornings
with her, the afternoons with ladies
shoe department girl from Isaac and
Coppinways, and the evenings he
strolled up and down with waitress
from Milds, and discussed the relative
advantages of the breakfast cereals.
And he liked it. He was growing
more and more entranced with the
vulgarity of it. He felt regular Don
Juan, and when the hotel gave the an
nual masked ball and the carrousel
was set up Freddy was the gayest of
the gay.
He swung round giddily upon his
horse, side by side with a shrieking
young thing in black, whom he kept
on her unsteady seat - intervals by
the pressure of his Ind against th'
back Of her waist. Then masks were
donned, and a perfect whirl Of pleas
ure followed.
Introductions are not considered es-
sential at that sort Of Catskill hotel.
Freddy spun in the giddy mazes OF
dance after dance. The struggling,
shrieking throng was having high
and glorious time when some wag cut
the electric light wire.
Instantly terrific confusion followed.
Girls shouted that they were going to
faint, and tainted in the arms of the
men nearest them. Freddy, embrac-
ing an unknown creature, who lay like
a dead weight upon his shoulder, felt
a regular devil He thought OF the

Cyrilla was the dearest girl in the
world, but little cold-hearted. Fred
dy Broughton could not disguise that
fact from his knowledge. But he had
weighed it against her virtues when
he asked her to be his wife, and 1t did
not weigh great deal.
Cyrilla Burns and Freddy had known
each other since they were tots. Their
families lived in one OF those old-fash'
toned city squares that are rapidly dis
appearing before tho march OF pro
gress. Only few Of the old families
remained in the vicinity, and they
formed a sort OF aristocracy OF birth,
though few Of them had any money.
1t had always been understood that
Freddy and Cyrilla were to marry.
When Freddy came home from college
he looked at Cyrilla and wondered
Here he had been out in the world, as
it seemed to him, tasting the joys or
emancipation, and Cyrilla was going
the same Old round OF missionary
meetings, library committees and Wis
its among a select and exclusive old
fashioned set.
Yet Freddy was shrewd enough to
see that a wife must be chosen for
her wearing qualities. And Cyrilia I'M
doubtedly did wear well.
So it came about at the annual din
ner party that, finding himself alone
with Cyrilla, Freddy took her hand in
his.
'Will you marry me soon, Cyrilla,
dear?" he asked.
Yes" answered Cyrilla.
