WIFE GETS AFFINITY'S MAIL
AND HUBBY GETS 6 MONTHS

NEW YORK.-Abraham Goldstein's
expression when he came forward
for sentence for abandonment in
Judge McIntyre's part of general ses-
sions was a happy mixture of earnest
contrition and fond hope. The pre-
ceding day he had forsworn forever
Mrs. Anna Hauser, with whom he
ran away to Boston, and had pledged
his faith anew to his wife and their
seven children, and the prospects for
a suspension of his sentence seemed
bright.
At sight of his wife's face, how
ever, Abraham's expression became
the prevailing ingredient. There was
good reason for his CONSERVATION. He
had mixed his letters and his destiny
An epistle which he intended for his
wife he had mailed in an envelope
addressed to Mrs. Hauser, and let
ter he intended for Mrs. Hauser had
been sent to his wife. His wife's
face told him that the letter carrier
had done his duty.
This is what Mrs. Goldstein read:
"Dear Anna-I have convinced
my wife that 1 will live with her
again and take care of the chill
dren, and she is going to ask the
judge to let me off. AS soon
as I am loose I'm going to Cali
fornia. When I get settled there
l will let you know and you
can join me-"
This is the letter sent to Mrs.
Hauser:
Dear Wife-The woman [ ran
away with has been the evil in
fluence of my life. She persuaded
me to leave you. Now l am
through with her forever. I want
to make up for all the wrong L
have done you and the children.
I'm sure I don't know what to
ask you to do, Judge" Mrs. Gold
stein said, as she showed her letter
to Judge Mcintyre. Il thought he
was honestly repentant, but look at
this"
Judge Mcintyre said that he knew
exactly what to do and sentenced
Abraham to six months in the peni-
tentiary

Winneck's Comet Is
Due About Iune 13

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June WIN
necke's- Comet, the expecter approach
of which to the earth this month has
caused much comment, will probably
not come within ten million miles of
us, according to information receiv-
ed at the Harvard college observa-
tory from astronomers in various
parts of the world, who are studying
it's motion closely.
The comet will make it's nearest
approach to the sun on June Is, and
will be at its brightest at about the
same time. It is doubtful however,
whether it will be visible to the
naked eye, as it will be of approx
imate1y sixth magnitude.
Several astronomers predict me-
teoric shower on June 27 as a result
of the comets approach.

Large Office Structure
Is Threatened Seriously
By Onslaught Of Ants

WICHITA, Kan, June 8.-Hordes
of ants, driving upward from the
earth through mud tupes, are threat
ening destruction to the 100000
Elk change building at the stock yards
here Oaken lumber stored under the
building has been practically con-
sumed and the ants have driven their
way up along pipe lines to the wood
work of the west end of the struc-
ture, which they have tunnelled aB
far as the second floor.
Washington entomologists have
identified the ravaging visitors as an
Australian or South American ant
which drives in armies, overwhelm-
ing in time any wood structure in
it's path. The cattle at the stock
yards seem to be free of attacks.
An attempt to stop activities of
the pests by placing fly paper in
their path was frustrated when the
ants built a dirt bridge across the
obstruction and continued their OPP
erations. BY insulation and shutting
off the ants return to the ground,
it is hoped that the army can be ex-
terminated.

BUNCO INVESTIGATORS URGE
DRASTIC POLICE SHAKE-UP

A sensational shake-up in the At
lanta police department, involving the
removal of Chief James L. Beavers,
Chief, of Detectives A. Lamar Poole,
and other prominent officers, was
recommended by the councilmanic
committee, which spent seven weeks
probing the charges of Solicitor Cen
eral Boykin to the effect that the
police were either incompetent or IN
connivance with the million dollar
bunco syndicate which operated II
Atlanta for several years.
After hearing millions Of words of
testimony from bunco victims, boot
leggers, whisky runners, gamblers,
citizens, police officers and many 9TH
er witnesses, the probe COMMITTEES
submitted a report proposing even
more drastic changes in the police
department than three county grand
juries had urged.
The recommendations, which .havA
stirred up a furore of interest
throughout the city, might be sum-
arized as follows:
Chief of Police Beavers is an "up-
right Christian gentleman" but Is
not competent for his post.
Chief of Detectives A. Lamar Poole
has been negligent, has been guilty OF
incompetence and has been very in
discreet" in his association with
Floyd Woodward, head Of the bunco
syndicate.
tS Rob Was.
goner and T. D. Shaw are incompes
tent.
Detectives West, Jones and
Whatly are incompetent.
Detective w. L. Payne has been
corrupt.
The board of police commissioners
should be abolished.
Abolition of the detective depart
ment, selection of a chief would b
in supreme charge of the force, i'm
provement in filing systems, aboli
ton Of the fee system in all county
Offices and numerous other major rec
concentrations were urged.
Whether Chief Beavers, Chief Pook
and the other officers named will b
DISCHARGED and whether the proposes
reforms will be effected rests witt
council at a meeting two weeks hence
Mayor James l.. Key has already de-
clared that he was unalterably OPP
posed to removing CHIEF Beavers and
a fierce fight will be waged by the
friends of the various officers to pre-
vent adoption of the report by coun

MELON GROWERS
To MEET IN ABEL

MOULTRIE, Ga, June 7.-Members
of the board of directors of the
Southwest Georgia Watermelon
Growers association will meet in
Abel Friday of this week for the
purpose Of making final plans for
marketing and grading the crop OF
the membership OF the association.
The board of directors is composed
of thirty men from nine counties.
They, represent thirty locals and
thirty shipping points. Onc of the
chief questions TO come up at the
Abel meeting will deal with a higher
standard of grading. At present the
standard grades on watermelons al
low a variance of eight pounds and
the Southwest Georgia Watermelon
association wants this variance re-
duced to four pounds. 1t is argued
that this change will rebound to the
good of the growers, especially those
who produce No. l melons.
Reports coming into Moultrie in
dictate that men supposed to be rep
resenting buyers have been going out
into the country and spreading faIse
stories with reference to the freight
rates with a view of inveigling grow
ers to sell their melons before the
shipping season opens. 1t is said
that thees agents will go to a farm
er and tell him that it takes more
than $500 to pay the freight on a
carload of watermelons to New York
and that the car will not bring but
$500 when it gets there. This state
ment is followed with an offer to
contract for the growers BEST melons
at 500 car f. o. b. shipping point
The untrue statements concerning
the freight rates have been made SO
frequently that the railroads have
issued statements saying that the
average rate on a carload of water
melons from South Georgia to the
big centers in the north and east is
about 5000 a car.

Withdrawal Of u. S.
Army From Germany
ToBe Asked in Rider

WASHINGTON, June 7.-With-
drawal of American soldiers from
Germany will be proposed in a rider
to the army appropriation bill which
was before the senate today.
The rider will ask President Har-
ding to withdraw the $4,000 troops
as soon as state of peace with
Germany is brought about through
adoption of the peace resolution now
before congress.
The war department, senators have
been told, has no knowledge of how
long the American forces are to be
kept on German soil. Secretary OF
War Weeks refused to discuss the
matter with the senate military al
fairs committee recently, saying it
was up to Harding and the state
department, who have charge of the
foreign policy.
Senators backing the withdrawal
plan believe the troops will have nc
business in Germany once a state
Of peace is declared; that their pres
ence is a drain on the German treas
ury which is helping delay payment
of Germany's war debt and that re-
turn of the troops would mean less
expense to the taxpayers in providing
for a standing army.

TAXI MEN COMPLAIN

The taxi men are complaining that the ordinance putting them off the streets which is only temporarily held up by an injunction. threatens them with serious hardship. This ordinance. they say, excludes all ex- cept the fortunate few who have stands in front of places of 50 rooms or more. and they are the ones who would be best able to stand being thrown out of business.
 The smaller ones who will be dis astrously affected have all they have in the world tied up in their business on which they are wholly depending for living, they claim.
 Said one of them last night: We are at loss to know why this ordf- nance was passed. It is inpoSsibie for us to dispose of our cars withouu great loss. There is now no other employment to be had.
 If any of the taxi men are improp Il erly conducting business there are laws by which the offenders can be- handled individually without ruining the innocent We should not all sui fer for the misconduct of one man. We would be glad to have this mat ' ter come to a vote of the people,
