Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 6.-~In addition

proach warning signs on the highways
500 feet away from the tracks, Per-
mission Will be asked of county
authorities as such signs will be
placed beyond the railways right of
way.
1t is planned to place the signs on
the right of the highway, approach
ing crossings, in the hope that they
VIII attract the attention of automo-
bile drivers, while they still have
ample distance in which to stop. Ex-
perience has shawn that automobiles
are driven so swiftly on the public
highways that frequently their drivers
ran to bring them under control after
they see the customary sign on the
railways right of way.
me approach signs will consist of
the letters "R. R." and a cross painted
boldly In black on a white field on
cast IRON disks twenty-four inches in
oiameter. mounted on pedestals nine
rect high, being in accordance with
standards adopted by the American
Railway Association
several months will be required for
placing these signs throughout the
territory served by the southern Rail-
way, but in the meantime county Of
ncers will be requested TO grant the
necessary permission.

to Make Application.

r. n Thomas. who was transferred
from Bellevue Prevocational School to
the Highland Park school. shortly ar
ter charges were made against @. A.

cation for reinstatement as a teacher

friends believe,
superintendent Chandler. OF the city

application has been made to him and
so far as he knows. none has been
made through any other member, to
the School Board, by Mr.. Thomas Mr..
Thomas was at tho Highland Park
school Wednesday, but went off on sick
leave. He was reported sick on Thurs
day and on Friday.
Mr.. Thomas yesterday afternoon in
dicated that he will apply for his re-
turn to the preVocational school. The
application may be made to the School
Board either through DR. Chandler or
some other member Of the board. The
usual channel Of such applications is
through the superintendent
Mr. Thomas, speaking of the matter
yesterday said that his failure to re-
port for duty at the Highland Park
school Tuesday was not Intend
ed as an act Of characterization. as
had been intimated in some quarters.
He said he was compelled to go to the
prevocationaI school on that day to get
certain papers and other valuable per-
sonal property and so could not report
at Highland Park on time.
That he will seek to be returned to
Bellevue School appears more than
probable. He says that he is untitled
for. the double grade duties at the
Highland Park school. among which
are the teaching Of sewing and Of sing
ing. II cannot sew on button nor
carry a tune he says. but | can ex-
plain the theory of government: l can

be killed in action. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt said tonight, when informed
or the death with the allied forces in
East Africa of his former hunting
companion. The Colonel was deeply
afrected by the news.
I mourn his death and / knew
that there Is no death he would have
been more anxious to have suffered
than to have been killed while fight
ing for his country. said Colonel
Roosevelt His whole life was a
preparation for rendering to his coun-
try just such service as he had given
in the last two years and a half. 1t
was splendid preparation for a gall
liant death.
1t was about year ago that I last
heard from him. At that time the
force he was with had just made sue

He was a great hunter. explorer and

glad to know he was serving the Beers.

In which judgment for $l.371 against

property not more than few weeks
when Portlock repurchased t from

Thinks Leak Is Proven.
This comparison said Gardner,

yond peradventure OF doubt proves the

prtma facie case that there was q
leak. you cannot take the position
that you will do nothing at all about
1t until someone informs you as to
the names of those who profited by
the leak or the names of those re.

Of every city in the United states
notice regarding the missing man, and
the Pinkerton Detective Agency have
their men investigating every port
at which Il Is likely the man may have
taken passage for another country.
In the meantime every plausible
tip is receiving attention at the hands
of the police and the Pinkerton force
and they are being closely followed to
see if they will develop anything of
value. Yesterday Ser, cant wiltshire
received information that Pizzini had
been seen in Richmond. His in
formant stated that he saw the man
leave the Main Street station, heavily
wrapped in an overcoGt, the collar OF
which was turned up partly conceal
ing his face. He wore a soft hat pull
ed down well over his eyes
SO positive was the party that the
man he saw was Pizzini he took par
,iCular pains to note the number or
the street car the man boarded, which
went west Sergeant Wiltshire stated
yesterday that he placed no credence
in the statement that the missing real
estate dealer was in the city. He said
that il was the impression of the po-
lice that he was considerable distance
away.
1t became known yesterday that
PiZzini was interested in the lakewood
Park Land Company. and in the after
noon the American National Bank had
an attachment filed IN the Chancery
Court against william 3. Pizzni, Mrs.
A. e Pizzini and the lakewood Park
Land Company. The records show

with the following, constitute the
board of directors: Field Wilbon.
Frank f. Phillips. Gilbert K. Pollock
and Morgan r. Mills,
The belief that Pizzini had taken
flight to Costa RIGA prevailed yester-
day The missing man was familiar
with law and he doubtless knew that
he could not be extradited from that
country. II Is one OF the three coun-
tries with which the United States has
no extradition treaties Every South
ern port in particular is being investi-
gated to see whether Pizzini took pas
sage on one of the steamers to Costa
Rica. 1t is believed that he sailed on
one of the United Fruit Companys
steamers from New Orleans.

downward tendency in the stock mar
ket was first apparent between 12:45
and 1:45 of December 10. United
States Steel had opened at 10 o'clock
at 11s IA and had risen as high as
1ls is. Between 12:45 and 1:45 a
steady decline began, bringing 1t down
from 116 IS to as low as 100 IA be-

its downward course. closing at 10S.
Then came the publication of the note.
"On December 81 1t opened at

dency until almost noon. rising as high

beer was the haul made yesterday
afternoon by Officers Thurman, Tiller
and Schlief. when they arrested Ed
ward Turner and John Mickens, both
colored. as they arrived in Richmond
from Washington on the Richmond

transporting liquor and having it in
their possession in excess of the law.
The officers boarded the train be-
fore the negroes had alighted, having
already learned that the men were
engaged in violating the law, and
made the arrests in the car. Turner
however, tried to make a getaway
and he leaped through one of the

Andania which reached port today
from Liverpool via Halifax was &C

The fact that the cruiser acted as

the Andania did not leave Liverpool
until two days after her passengers
mails and cargo were aboard indicates
how seriously England regards the
