of gold in Roseburg, Ore, the other

Chinese cook who recently found 5000
in gold in the house of Hop Lee, who
was a victim of the tong wars two
years ago. He says that the ghost
of his murdered friend directed him

WILL BE BIG
FEATURE OF ATLANTA FIRE

ATLANTA. Ca, Sept. 26.-No such
fireworks display has been seen in the
South since the great Atlanta exposi-
ton OF 50 as viii be given at the
Southeastern FAN, at Atlanta, every
evening of its duration from October
10 to 20.
Owing to the fact that the lake,
which occupies the center of the spac-
ious fair grounds is directly in front
Of the exhibition space, and the fire.
works are given on the hills across
the water from the spectators, oppor-
tunity is given for combined land and
water displays; and this feature will
be strongly stressed this year, be-
cause practically all the fireworks
will be of a patriotic nature.
A number of vast set pieces will be
erected on a scale eclipsing anything
that has been seen here, and the bat
ties which will result will be fought on
LAND water and in the air.
A slight forecast of the effect was
given at Lakewood grounds on the ev-
en:ng of the Fourth of Juy when
m,niature battle between an airship
and a submarine brought thrills to the
of spectators at that time.

M'CURRY'S WIDOW
is SUING FOR DAMAGES

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 26-An inter-
esting sequel to the killing last sum
mer of State Senator Asben A. McCur-
~ by an automobile on West Peach
tree street in this city, is the filing Of
a suit which has just gone on record
in the City court of Atlanta against
H. May, of Berrien county, and Gin
ton Parker, of Fulton county, for $780,
600 damages.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Lizzie
May McCurry, the widow of the late
senator, and was filed by her attorneys,
Reuben R. Arnold and Ronald Ransom,
Cf this city.
1t will be recalled that Senator Nc
Curry was knocked down by an auto
mobile as he was about to board a
trolley car in Atlanta last summer
while the legislature was in session.
The car belonged to ]. H. May, a
wealthy lumber operator of Berrien
county, and was driven by Clinton
Parker. Senator McCurry fingered a
few days in hospital and died with a
fractured skull.
1t is alleged in the suit that the car
was driven at a reckless rate of speed,
anC that no warning signal was given.
Senator M'Curry was prominent law
yer of Hartwell and left wife and sew
eral children.

DORSEY MAY run
FOR j. s. SENATE
WHISPERED IN ATLANTA THAT HE
Is GOING TO OPPOSE HARDWICk
NOTHING DEFINITE YET, HOW
EVER.
(By John W. Hammond, in Macon
Telegraph

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. Psf quite
chance comes over the complexion of
things political in Georgia in the near
f>t-s there need be no surpnce.
1t has been commonly taken for
granted that Governor Dorsey would
be candidate for the United States
States senate when the post now held
by Senator Hoke Smith is next up be-
fore the people for another term. 1t
has likewise been rather taken for
grained that the governor would spend
the next year and half in sticking
down to things pertaining particularly
and solely to the Office of the states
chief executive, with a view to sue
ceeding himself, and in all hope of
probability without opposition.
Much has happened which, all to-
gether, gave color to that kind of
thinking, and in one way or another
everything has been moving along to-
ward the highly probable success of
such things.
But it begins to look now rather like
something is changing. 1t is a fact
that there has been bit of feeling out
of the state lately, and some changed
opinions.
Governor Dorsey may be candidate
IL the next senatorial race, if the things
some of his friends are not saying are
an indeX-rather than the things they
are saying. 1t isn't that there is any
political shenanigan going on right
now, but the striking absence of it;
the very calm and quietude of every
thing-on the surface-gives rise to the
wonder of it all.
The governor isn't talking-except in
his own councils-but from one or two
notable sources when the direct ques-
tion has been asked, the puckered-up
eyebrows and the response II wouldn't
not he surprised--but, of course, don't
4uo,e me at all; just keep your eyes
open"
All makes it appear that something
is about to happen.

New Boxing Instructor At Camp Lewis
Is Paid High Compliment By Corbett

and who has been selected by
Corbett as boxing Instructor
at Camp Lewis, Tacoma, was
paid a great compliment by
Corbett when the appoint

Van Court has been en-

Altho over the Cougar

with the youngest of his pu-
pills. His remarkable vitality

slant work in the squared cir

The veteran was overjoyed
to receive news OF his ap-
pointment.
II feel the men who teach
our soldiers to box will be
doing America a great serv-
ice," he declared.
Boxing will make real men
of the city fellows who have
been kept away from athletics
for years, as many of the con-
scripted men have been.
The adoption of boxing by

Rookie Pitcher Gets Rare
Chance To Show His Worth

periority to their new manager,
just as RUDE Vanguard owes his
pitching ability to Wilbur.
Now comes the surprise to vet
eran baseball-Lee Foil, Rookie
himself, has put a brand new
rookie pitcher to work sooner than
any long experienced manager
would dare do. Only a short time
ago, Ted Torkelson, young light
haired, right-hand spitballer,
came to Cleveland from Marshall
town, Ia, and has already faced
the Tigers and the Browns.
The young pitcher is not much
different from any other, SO far as
looks go, but he has shown he can
pitch-and field, too. Ty Cobb
and Bob Veach remember one
against each by this
rookie, and Ty will especially keep
Torkelson in mind for being
caught off first by a foot.
Lee Foil won't say much about
his new pitcher. He never prom
ises, but he goes ahead and does.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-10-01

Any veteran manager would
have thought twice before doing
what Lee Foil, Cleveland Indian
pilot who jumped into the lime
light right out Of the minors, did.
Lee Foil had not even played
big league baseball before he was
chosen to make a first division
team out of a bunch of trailers last
year. He did. and what's more
he has opened the eyes of the
dyed-in-the-wool leaders by put
ting up one of the most brilliant
fights for the lead the American
league has staged for some time.
The Indians are third, as Ty
Cobb and Hughie Jennings will
have to admit. 1t has been the
pitching that has robbed the
Tigers of third place.
And the man behind the pitch
ing is Lee Foil. The Indian pilot
can be classed with Wilbur Robin
son of the Dodgers as a developer
of pitchers. Stanley Coveleskie
and Jim Bagby, both among the
in pitching, owe their su-

Sea BuI|ies 8agged In
Great Fishing Grounds

AVALON, CAL, Sept. a.
Twice within two weeks the
worlds swordfish record was
broken by anglers at the famous
Catalina island big game fishing
banks.
The first record fish of the sea-
son was taken by A. G. Parsons
of San Francisco. Then w. G.
Boschen, worlds greatest deep
sea fisherman, knocked Parsons
record into a cooked hat with a
leviathan weighing 463 pounds.
Parsons fish weighed Az
pounds and fought desper-
ately for 6 hours and 8 min
utes before he was brought
to gaff.
Attic Boschen's fish was con-
siderably larger, he did not put up
as thoro a battle as did the San
Franciscan's catch. The dimen-
sions of the new worlds record
fish are: Length, IL feet; girth,
4 feet inches.
mduc tulb CdtCu VIII Lnt
regulation tuna tackle" said
Boschen. 81 used a 12-ounce rod
and q "a strand line. There were
times In the battle when l had out
a thousand feet of line. On sew
|eral occasions the fish leaped clear
of the water, turning a complete
somersault in his frantic efforts
to free himself from the hook"
The greatest danger in
catching swordfish is the
risk the angler runs I'm bring
ing the monster to gait. In
threshing about I'm the water
close to the boat and fish may
spear either the fisherman or
the boat with his huge sword
which Is often four feet long.
This spear Is the fish's only
weapon Of defense, and tho
huge tail which propels him
gives tremendous force to -
thrasts.
