OLD GOVERNORS MANSION
PROBLEM BOBS UP AGAIN

ATLANTA, Ga, July 20.-The state
o. Georgia can make $4,000 year by
leasing the governors mansion, which
is unfit for human habitation, and rent
ing a more suitable residence for the
governor in a more desirable section
of the city. In order to do this, it will
not be necessary to give long lease
on the mansion property, but only a
short lease. The governors mansion is
now the business heart of the city, and
besides the constant clamor in the
streets, rendering it exceedingly unde-
sirable as a residence, the plumbing is
insanitary, and the plastering has a
habit of falling.

The woman died in an ambulance on

Before losing consciousness she
was asked why Kicks shot her, and
she only replied she did not know, as
she and Kicks were friends, however,
stating that they had quarreled the
day before, though they were on good
terms the morning of the shooting.
Kicks went to the Bailey woman's
home. and after remaining there for a
while, it is said, the two began to
quarrel when he reprimanded her for

SWIMMING AND
EXHILARATING SPORT.

We cannot all fly, and even the for
tunate who can may get little of gen
uine pleasure from the practice. Roar
ing engines and whirring propellers
deafen them and singing spray of
oil blinds their goggled, smarting eyes
to the beauty of what lies below. They
do not soar like birds. They see the
country, not as those who ride leisure
II in top buggies, but rather as do
those who profane the quiet country
side in sporting racing cars. If we
would share, in some small measure.
the pleasures of the birds, the water,
not the air, must serve our turn. And
swimming is the nearest thing to fly
ing that men can hope to learn, sub
stitute. indeed, which is not to be
despised. There is the purest sense
pleasure in the feel of clear, cool wa
ter, a freedom of motion, sheer de-
light in muscular exertion which one
may not know on land.-CleVeland

has remained here since that time"
No such murder has been committed.
This is established positively from
the police records. The Doris Bailey
mentioned in the story as having been
killed has been away from Savannah
fer eighteen months, according to the
police. No story concerning anything
like the above has been sent out from
Savannah by any known newspaper
man or any paper connected with any
news bureau.
Late Tuesday afternoon a service
message came to the Savannah Press
from an Alabama newspaper which
had refused the message containing the
Kicks story. This started an examina-
ton. Further investigation brought to
light the original of the story, which
was in the hands of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and disclosed the
name of Sutlive signed to the tele-
gram. William G. Sutlive, managing
editor of the Savannah Press, was at
that time in Townsville, in attendance
upon the sessions of the Georgia
Weekly Press Association.
Yesterday came a bombardment of
kilograms. One from the Macon News
stated that Kicks had been in that city
since last week, and that at the hour
the fake telegram was filed he was in
the composing room of the Macon
News, in conversation with 7. Sim
mons, foreman Kilburn, printers and
others. Kicks and his son, Clifford,
left Savannah Sunday night, Mrs. Kicks
ard Margaret, their daughter, follow
ing on Monday night.
No reason for the sending of such a
palpable fake can be assigned. The
story. however, was evidently prepared
by one familiar with the preparation of
press telegrams, although the list of
papers to which the story was sent
shows that the writer did not know
which peapers were Sutlive's and
which were accredited to other cores
pondents. The signature was type
written. The messenger boy who rel
ceived it says it was handed to him by
a man on the street
MIR. Sutlive being out of the city
could not obviously have sent the tel
egram. 1t was not sent by any mem
Der of the staff of the Savannah Press
or by Joseph P Watkins or the Dixie
News Bureau, through whom Sutlives
correspondence is usually handled in
his absence. The messenger boy is
unable to identify the man who hand
ed him the telegram. And there the
matter rests.
1t is said that Kicks is coming back
tn Savannah for the purpose of prose-
cutting the perpetrator of the outrage.
In this he will have the assistance and
cooperation of all correspondents and
OF the Savannah Press. The Albany
Herald, one of the papers to receive
the fake story, has offered a reward of
q hundred dollars for the arrest with
proof to convict of the party respons-
ible fer the imposture. The Western
Union is as much in the dark as to the
author of the telegram as are the cor
respondents.
1t is worthy of note that the Macon
News, paper published in the city to
which Kicks had gone and which I'M
doubtedly would know of his presence
there, had been stricken from the list
to which the fake telegram was adj
dressed. 1t had been inserted and then /,
marked out This was obviously to

the story being published simultan-
eously with the story itself. 1t was
not known in Savannah that such a
story had been published until the af-
ternoon state papers arrived during
the following morning
