MAN IN RIVER ONLY
BAG.OF BEEF. BONES

The splash of bag of beef bones,
heaved from motor truck into the
Chattahoochee river from the bridge
on the Mayson and Turner road
shortly after dark Saturday evening
started a wild, weird rumor that in
less than thirty minutes sent six gal
liant members of the Fulton county
constabulary scurrying about that
section of the county and over into
Cobb, where they ran down the
supposed actors in tragedy"
quietly preparing to retire in their
home near Middleton.
Ben Livingston, a camper near the
bridge, and his helper, a negro boy
named Arthur Ferrar, were fishing
near the bridge when the truck
stopped for some repairs.
Presently large, dark object was

even a bubbling moan.
But the appeal to the imagination
seems to have been too much for
Livingston and Ferrar. The former
set out to call the police, and the
story received by Lieutenant Carroll
was that four men in the truck had
thrown another man into the river
"a man bound hand and foot, who
begged for his life, while the others
argued about the propriety of chuck
ing him overheard.
Lieutenant Carroll and County Pc
licemen Gates, Head. Dickson, Vim
son, Allen and Williams set out in
motor cars at top speed for the
bridge and thence spread out into
Cobb county, in which direction the
pop-eyed Arthur declared theTtruck
had gone.
Near Middleton the proprietor of
the tragedy truck was found. He
owned up at once. It was his truck.
He ran a grocery and meat. shop at
373 Lee street., His name was Til
ley. He was on his way home and
stopped to fix his truck on the
bridge. They had large bag of
beef bones with them and it &C.
CURED to his helpers that this was
a good time to dispose of the same.
They chucked the bag over into the
dark river below.

a struggle and sank, as previously
stated, without even bubbling
moan.

SULU SENATOR WARNS
AGAINST interference
Declares Attempt to Curtail Re
ligious Powers of Sultan Would
Be Disastrous.

Ry the Associated Press.
MANILA. p. l., December 26.-Warn-
ing has been given by Senator Hadji
Butu, one of the most prominent Moros
in the Philippines and senator from the
district of Mindanao and Sulu. against
any attempt to curtail the religious
powers exercised by the Sultan Of Sulu.
He declared that any attempt on the
part of the government to destroy the
prestige Of the Mohammedan religion
will be met with disastrous results.
Senator Butu's statement was in an
Swer to a proposal OF the prosecuting
attorney of Jolo. the sultan's home, sub
mitted to the governor general and the
secretary of Justice, to cancel the semi
judicial powers which the Mohammedan
.'eligion, laws and customs give to the
Sultan of Sulu as inherent to his office.
The prosecutor, who is a Christian,
asks cancellation of the sultan's power
on the ground that civil government
established in the Sulu archipelago is
often in conflict with the use of this
power The power referred to in the
proposal is the sultan's right to act as
Judge or arbiter on religious matters
which parties concerned voluntarily
submit to him for decision and which
chiefly relate to marriage and divorce.
Senator Teopisto Guingona. who BY
appointment Of the governor general
represents the nom Christian tribes in
the mountain province, also is opposed
to curtailment of the sultan's powers.
and has submitted a statement to the
governor general against the plan.
