LTON JAIL EASY
FOR AUTO THIEVES
Saw Through Jail Bars Before They
Could Be Sent OFF To
Chain Gang

We told last week of a case of
quick justice in Milton county in the
case Of an auto thief, who stole car
Sunday night, was arrested in Rome
on Monday, convicted and sentenced
to the chain gang on Wednesday, and
we presumed was serving his sentence
by Friday. We were too hasty in our
conclusion however for it seems that
for some reason he was left in the
Alpharetta Jail until Saturday night,
and concluded the whole matter by
saving his way through the Jail bars
to liberty again.
A Sunday dispatch from Alpharetta
tells the story thusly:
Two young men by the name of
Streetman and Gently, who were con-
victed of stealing an auto in Milton
county superior court two days ago
and sentenced by Judge Newt Morris
to from one to five years in the chain
gang, last night made their escape
from the Jail here and have not been
apprehended.
1t was discovered today that the
two men had sawed their way out of
the steel cage, though no clue as to
how they obtained the saws could be
obtained. It is believed that some un-
known party or parties aided in the
escape and took the young men out of
Alpharetta in waiting car.

LEAPS FOR LIFE BUT
FALLS TO HIS DEATH
Soldier Loses Leg and Dies from tn.
Shock Without Recovering
After the Operation

AS the Marietta Gainesville bus,
which left Gainesville at o'clock
Monday morning, approached the W..
& A. Railroad crossing just below AL
latoona, the passengers were alarmed
by the sudden discovery that the north
bound passenger train was very near
the crossing.
John H. Sewell, young Marine ON
furlough, was one of the passengers
on the bus and in his alarm and fear
threw himself from window of the
bus, falling partly on the track. The
fall so stunned him that he was unable
ito get off in time to prevent the wheels
of the engine cutting off one of his
legs.
The bus crossed the track in safety,
the driver not being aware of the
accident until told to stop by other
passengers.
Sewell was taken aboard the train
and carried to Gainesville for surgical
treatment. He failed, however, to
rally from the shock and died on Mon
Qay HlgnI.
1t is said that he had suffered from
shell shock while in France, and was
still in an extremely nervous condi-
ton, which probably accounts for his
excited action. 1t was evident that
he saw the train approaching, and
thinking it would catch the bus, ne
tried to leap out before it reached the
track.
The young man was son Of Mr..
and Mrs. R. A. Sewell, who live near
Kennesaw. He also leaves three
brothers and four sisters.
Being at home on a furlough he
had visited friends in Barlow coun-
ty, and was on his way back home
when the accident occurred.
He was buried in Barlow county
where the family had formerly lived.

German Ambassador
VIII Be Sent Back

DR.. Haniel Won .Haimhausen, for
mer counsellor of the German en-
bassy at Washington, has been select
ed for appointment as German am
bassador to the United States.
No inquiry has been made of the
United States as to whether Haniel
Won Haimhausen, former counsellor
of the imperial German embassy here,
will be acceptable as ambassador, but
there is every indication that this
will not receive Haimhausen or any
one else connected with the embassy
under the regime of Count Won Bern
storff.
Nearly every one connected with
the German embassy in Washington
in a responsible position in the days
preceding Americas entrance into the
war is regarded by the government as
more or less involved in the intrigues
and plots which stirred up the coun-
try.
When it was proposed to send
Count van Bernstein to Paris at the
head Of the German peace commits
sion, the American delegation let. it
be known promptly that while per-
haps they had no legal right to dis
tate the personnel of the German
commission, yet they would have no
communication with Bernstorff and
his appointment would certainly not
aid the Germans in securing the best
peace terms.
Hairnhausen's attachment to the
German peace commission in the ca
pacity Of secretary was scarcely less
welcome, but was tolerated by the
American commissioners for the rea-
son that his familiarity with the issues
might make him useful, and his con-
'nection with the operations of the Ger
man embassy here was less than that
of his principal.

NEGRO WHO KILLED
WHITE BOY IS JAILED
Pistol in the Hands of Young Negro
Man Caused Death of Boy
in Cartersviile

The mystery Of the killing of young
Albert Hughes, 17-year-old white
boy, on the streets of Gainesville on
Sunday night, August 10th, has at
last been solved.
Hughes had taken a young lady to
the tabernacle meeting and was driv-
ing out of the town toward his home
in his buggy, at about eleven O'Clock
of the night named, when two shots
were heard by residents of the vicir-
ity, and the young man was found in
a dying condition in the street.
He never recovered sufficiently to
tell who his assailant had been and
the officers have been at work ever
since on the trail Of the murderer.
Three young negro men are now
under arrest in the case, and according
to the confessions of two of them the
crime was committed by the third,
named Fred Shelton.
We quote below from the report OF
the Gainesville correspondent OF the
Atlanta Georgian:
''The first one arrested was Date
Maxwell. Under a stiff grueling by
the officers, assisted by Attorney j.
M. Neel, Jr., and Mr.. Warren Tinsley,
Maxwell is said to have confessed that
he, with the other two now under ar
rest, were walking along the street,
threw watermelon rinds at the young
white boy, who drove short dis
lance, hitched his horse and came
back.
''Maxwell's story is to the effect
that he and Miner ran upon the APP
proach of Hughes, but Fred Shelton,
who was armed, did not, and mo-
ment later two pistol shots were fired.
Shelton then ran and caught up with
the Maxwell and Miner negroes, told
them to "beat i'll have just shot and
killed that white boy
'Milner worked in Marietta and I'M
mediately after getting Maxwell's
story officers went to Marietta and
arrested Miner. Upon being closely
questioned, Miner told story that
conceded to the letter with that told
by Maxwell.
with these facts before them Shell
ton was taken into custody and
rushed to the Rome Jail. Maxwell
was lodged in the Marietta jail and
= Miner in the Atlanta Tower.
''Young Hughes was granddaughter
of Georgia's war governor, Joseph r,
Brown, and he, with his parents, lived
in Cherokee county until the family
moved to Barlow the first Of this
year"

CONVICT KILLED AS HE
ATTACKS P. H. RANDALL

John Foster, colored, convict in
the Fulton County changing, was
shot and killed by J. o. Gibson,
guard at the portable convict camp on
the Mount Perrian road Wednesday
when he attempted to strike Captain
P. H. Randall, in charge of the camp,
with paving hammer.
Captain Randall had started to pun
ish the negro for violating rule Of
the camp when the convict jumped
up and wrenched hammer from the
hand of another convict and made a
rush at Randall. Acting, it is said,
upon command from Captain Randall,
Gibson fired at the enraged negro,
killing him instantly. Captain Ran
dali was unarmed at the time Foster
was serving his fourth sentence on the
changing.
Coroner Donehoo empanelled n
jury, which, after an investigation,
rendered a verdict Of justifiable hom-
icide.
Captain Randall will be remember
ed as road superintendent in Cobb
county several years ago, going from
here to Thomas county, and more re-
Gently to Fulton county. His friends
congratulate him upon his narrow es-
cape.

CRIMINAL COURT FOR
cobb MEETS MONDAY
Murder Cases and Others Of Some
Interest Will be Tried in
This Session

Monday morning the adjourned
term of Cobb Superior Court will take
up it's work again and number of
important criminal cases are on the
docket.
Henry Robertson, colored, charged
with the murder of Miss Julia Green,
will probably be the case that will at
tract the most attention, but Ed
Walker another colored man will face
a murder charge for killing young
negro woman at Kennesaw about the
first of August.
o. H. Bruce, white, has forgery
case to answer to while Jake DAN
iell, colored, will be tried for automo-
bile stealing.
Some other cases of interest are
also on the docket, but it is probable
the term will be short one. The
same grand jury that served at the
July term will be used while the fol-
lowing are the petit jurors drawn for

BULLOCK HOME MAY Be
ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
Organization in This State Endorses
The Purchase of Roosevelt's
Mothers Home

The old fashioned Southern home
Of the Bulloch family, near Roswell,
where Miss Matte Bulloch was mar
ried to Theodore Roosevelt, of Phil
adelphia, shortly before the Civil War
may be purchased by the Roosevelt
Memorial Association and converted
nito a national museum. This matter
was brought up Thursday at the
Piedmont Hotel by the executive
members of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, who are meeting here for
the purpose of inaugurating $5,-
100000 campaign, this amount to be
used in erecting a memorial at Wash
ington to commemorate the late The
odore Roosevelt.
The suggestion that the home be
purchased from Mrs. Barton Wing,
the present owner, met with the un-
animous approval of the members, and
the matter will be taken up with the
National Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton headquarters at New York City.
Thursday afternoon the fifty or
more members drove out to the aris-
tocratic and neatly kept mansion at
Roswell and were conducted through
the building and grounds of the es-
tate. That the home would be an
ideal place for a national park with
its characteristic traditions, was the
opinion of all of the visitors.
Gen. Luke E. Wright, of Memphis,
at the monthly business session, told
of his relations with the former Presi-
dent. under whom he was secretary
of war. Gen. Wright depicted the
"Great American" in strikingly in
teresting manner, and his hearers ac-
corded him close attention.
Following General Wright's address
other speakers were introduced by
Chairman Clark Howell, and the de-
tails of the campaign to raise the
amount were discussed. Georgia's
quota of the $5,OOO,0O0 is approx
mately $125,000, and it is thought
little trouble will be experienced in
raising this amount.
The campaign is to be conducted
on a different basis from others, no
solicitations personally will be made,
all contributions to be voluntary

ANOTHER SHORTAGE
OF CARS is COMING

The following statement was au-
thorized Thursday by the Reginal
Directors Office, Southern Region
United States Railroad Adminlstra-
ton:
another shortage of freight cars
is in prospect for the coming fall and
winter. Instead of the surplus OF
equipment to be found, on nearly all
railroads during the dull days before
the after-the-war business revival set
in, every piece of equipment now is
in use on many lines and only the
most careful handling by the railroads
with consistent and whole-hearted CO.
operation from the shipping public
can prevent serious interference with
business.
"Federal managers have been called
upon by the Railroad Administration
to utilize equipment to the fullest
possible extent, and particularly to
see that cars are set in motion
promptly upon being loaded or I'M
loaded.
Shippers are asked to lend a nano
both by reducing detention OF cars
to a minimum and by careful and
heavy loading so that the. greatest
possible service may be had from
each car. From a purely selfish bust
ness standpoint, of course, it is to
the interest of the individual shipper
and receiver of freight to do his part
toward minimizing the effects Of o
car shortage from which he will sui
fer along with the public generally"

OFFICIAL NOTES OF THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS
By ALICE v. S. GRANT.
Chm. Publicity, Cobb County Chapter

Washington, Aug. 10.-Plans for
nationwide Red Cross campaign
opening Monday, November 3, and
closing Armistice Day, November IL,
were formally announced tonight by
DIR. Livingston Farrand, chairman Of
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Red Cross. The primary object
of the campaign, which will be known
as the Third Red Cross Roll Call, will
be to enroll members for 1920, but
there will be in addition a general ap-
peal for 100000 to enable the
organization to complete its war OBJ
legations at home and abroad. There
will also be local appeals, where nee
essary, conducted by the chapters,
to secure funds needed for local pro-
grams.
During the war there were two an
nual Red Cross campaigns, the War
Fund Drive in the spring and Christ
mas Roll Call for membership. The
only campaign this year will be the
one in November and in succeeding
years there will be only an annual
Roll Call in which the Red Cross
will seek the re-affirmed allegiance of
the American people expressed in dol
lar memberships. The money so de-
rived will be used for American pur-
poses and the approval thus received
is to be regarded as mandate to car
ry on future programs.
"The first task of the American
Red Cross is, of course, to complete
it's obligations to American soldiers
and Sailors" said DIR. Farrand in an
nouncing the program. "The organ
ization plans, as it's future policy,
to concentrate it's efforts upon peace
problems at home, unless America
should again be involved in war or
confronted by great disasters Great
ing special emergencies.
<"The Red Cross programs are pri-
Efnarily within the field Of public health
and will aim particularly at co-ope-
ration with official activities, federal,
state and local. The Red Cross will
seek not to duplicate the work o fes-
tablished organizations, but will en-
deavor to supplement other agencies
where they already exist or to stim-
ulate and organize work where none
such exists"
The tremendous task Of the An1eri-
can Red Cross in the war has, how
ever, left continuing obligation
which cannot be fulfilled for some
months to come, DR.. Farrand sta
ted. In an amendment to the Army
Bill, Congress has prolonged the re-
sponsibility of the Red Cross abroad
by authorizing Secretary of War Ba-
ker to transfer to the Red Cross such
medical and surgical supplies and sup
Elementary and dietsry foodstuffs now
IN Europe as is not needed by the
army abroad or at home "to be used
by the American Red Cross to relieve
and supply the pressing needs OF the
countries involved in the late war"
Inventories of these supplies are
now being made. To them Will be
added such material as the American
Red Cross itself has in Europe and
these will be distributed in the coun-
tries where the organization is con-
Guiding its war relief program and
where, because Of the ravages of war,
famine and epidemic, the distress is
most pronounced, as in the Balkans,
Poland and other Eastern European
countries. To meet these obligations
