PRESIDENT REPORTED DEAD.
MEETING is ADJOURNED

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 24.-Investi-
cations We're under way here today
by state and city officials into hoax
perpetrated here last night that broke
up an address by Vice President Mar
shall and caused the false announce
ment to be made to an audience of
several thousand persons that Presi-
dent Wilson was dead.
Governor Dorsey offered a reward
I of 500 for arrest of the unknown per-
son, said TO be a man who telephoned
to the auditorium and said the vice
president was wanted ON long dis
lance by Washington because of the
death of the President.
The announcement caused women
in the audience to break out sobbing
and at the request of Governor Dor
sey who was present, minister ut
tered a brief prayer. AS the crowd
broke out the organist played Nearer
My God to Thee"
Persons leaving the auditorium
spread the news over town and SER
vices at several churches were broken
up after brief prayers had been offer
ed. Meanwhile Vice President Mar
shall telephoned the Associated Press
and was assured the rumor was I'M
true.
The vice president left for Wash
mgton last night, having completed a
short tour of the South under the
auspices of fraternal organization.

ALL PROVIDED FOR.

You can hear most anything about
street paving these days. The latest
rumor which The Dispatch has heard
is that the contract with Mr.. Terry
does not provide for the street grad
ing, that all of this is extra over and
above his contract price. The idea
was that the city was doing all of this
work and he would get his forty-four
thousand dollars for simply paving
the streets with concrete.
The matter was so important that
The Dispatch felt justified IN making
its own Investigations and according
ly we sent representative to the City
Hall to interview the contract itself.
That instrument provides for all Of
this and the contractor is to be paid
for the excavation at so much per
yard and it is all included in the
original estimate. The only item
which we have heard of thus far not
in the contract was the excavations
over the water mains for an examina-
ton of their condition before the con-
creting was done The only authori-
ties thought this advisable and the
wisdom of their action was establish
ed in needed repairs being made.
This ought to settle this rumor.

Roadster Has Large
Carrying Space

Suit and sample cases can be carried unseen
under the rear deck Provision is made for such
large articles as trunks.
Inspectors, statesmen and professional men par
ticularly like the Essex. 1t meets their wants in
performance and reliability. 1t gratifes their
taste in looks. They like its rattle proof con-
struction. They like the way it retains its new
ness
And of course they like the car that takes no
back position for even the most powerful and
fastest cars
The ease with which the Essex can be driven,
its short length permitting parking in spaces too
small for most cars and its good looks are marks of
advantage you hear everyone talking about.
The Essex roadster is as distinctive in its ad-
vantages as the touring and sedan models No
buyer will go far wrong if his car selection is based
on what owners say for it. And what car enjoys
such endorsement as the Essex?

mechanical care. Their statesmen have not the
time for roadside tinkering. Appointments must
be kept. Travelling schedules must not be inter-
rupted, and the driver must not be wearied by
riding, driving delays or attention to the car.
They chose the roadster because of what others
have said in its praise. They heard the same good
things said for it that you hear. Surely no car
ever had more enthusiastic friends. Thirty
million dollars paid by individual users mark
the confidence all have for Essex.

This is the latest Essex to wnits way with that
large motoring class that now realize the advan-
tage of light weight and sturdy, durable construc-
ton.
Heretofore roadsters were available in two dis
tinct classes only. One was the light car attrac-
tive principally for its low price and operating
cost. The other large, heavy and costly. An
impressive, car because of its size, comfortable,
durable and exclusive because so few could afford
two scatter, that in all essential respects is as
expensive to operate as seven passenger.
But those who wanted an economical reliable
car, who wanted comfort, performance and car
they could be proud to own had no other choice.
