MITCHELL FIELD
 HAS BUSY TIME
Old Army Reservation All
 Dressed Up for AYiators

New York, Sept. S.--Mitchel Field was bee hive of activity this morn- ing as workmen hustled to complete the already elaborate arrangements for the reception to the world flight aviators who are expected to arrive late in the afternoon. The staid old army reservation took on holiday appearance as thousands of flags Tapped In the morning breeze.
 In honor of the Prince of Wales and Sir Esme Howard, who are ex- pected to join with United States officials in the welcome the Union Jack was run up on a pole over a corner of the grandstand. Mayor John F. Hylan's proclama- ton of laht night, designating the day as Air Welcome Day" was all that was needed to thoroughly arouse the interest and enthusiasm of the entire city. The flight was the chief topic of conversation in the subways and on the streets.
 If someone chanced to stop and glance upward, he was immediately surrounded by crowd of others also looking skyward, for it had been reported that the fiers will circle over the city before winging their way to Mitchell field. The sound of an automobile with cut-out open was sufficient to turn thou sands of eyes toward the heavens.
 So many made the trip to the Long Island reservation that even the extra accommodation provided by the railroad to accommodate the crowds were taxed to capacity.

NORMA TALMApGE AT PALACE

Norma Talmadge, in her latest First National picture, Secrets" now showing at the Palace theater, plays four different roles in four dif- ferent periods and in gowns of four different fashion cycles.
 It is a picture of modern romance with glimpses into three other peri ods of American home life. Starting out in 1923. the picture later shows Norma first as young wife of the early days in Wyoming and the far west.
 Then the action switches to the year 1870. Norma has become the mother of a growing family. The passing years of the photoplay's story next show her in the gowns of the late 'S0s of the last century. Her hair has greyed and the children have grown but it is the same Norma of the early sequences of the story. Last of all Norma is shown again in modern costumes in 1923 settings.

EAGAN STEEL PLANT
LEFT To EMP DYES
IS A TRUST FUND
Bulk of Estate Left to Wife,
Marion Jackson BeQueath-
ed $4,000 and Secretary
Kirk $4,000

The Will of the late Mr.. John JOS
eph Eagan, well-known Atlanta
business man, capitalist and philan-
! thrQpist, who died in Asheville, n.
- few days ago, was offered Mon
H. for probate in solemn form at
the ordinary's office in Decatur. In
many respects it is one of the most
remarkable documents of its kind
ever filed in DeKalb county.
Carrying out his belief that the
Golden Rule, should be put into prac-
teal use in everyday business life,
Mr.. Eagan left his entire holdings
of common stock in the American
Cast Iron Pipe company, of which
he was the head, to the employees
loss shares, are to constitute a
trust fund, the income and dividends
from which are to be used to supple
ment the wages paid the employees,
to reimburse them if incapacitated
by accident or other misfortune, and
TO insure them a living wage"
I he handling OF the trust fund is
placed in the board of management
and the board of operatives, with in
Structions to administer the income
from the stock IN such manner as to
improve the conditions of all en-
ployes, now and hereafter, to the ut
most degree possible.
To Sell Products at Cost
Another remarkable feature OF the
will is that Mr. Eagan instructs the
directors and executives of the Amer
lean Cast Iron Pipe company to sell
its products at cost-that is, a price
sufficient to cover only actual eX-
penses, depreciation and a very mod.
crate return on the investment. Thus
MIR. Eagan sought to safeguard the
public against eXtortionate prices,
setting out that he wished to perpet
uate the Golden Rule policy in the
operation of the enterprise.
The will specifies legacies of SIS,
600 TO Marion Jackson, his attorney
and close personal friend; SIP 900 to
Al. L. IA1l NJ his private secretary dnC
longtime employee; 81 200 each 'tC
his two children, and the entire resi-
due of his estate TO his wife, Mrs
Sarah Young Eagan.
His mother, Mrs. Mary V. Eagan
possesses an independent fortune, u
according to the will, and SO is not
included in the legacies, except that
she is given Mr.. Eagan's gold watch
and chain as remembrance. He
directs, however, that should his
mother ever suffer financial re
verses, his wife shall make adequate
provision for her, adding that his
wife would do so in any event
whether or not the matter had been
mentioned in the will.
The wife is named as executriX
and Marion NJ. jackson as executor
with full authority to sell or eX
change any properties or securities
at public or private sale.
The document contains no esti
mate of Mr.. Eagan's fortune, al
though it is understood that his
holdings of real estate, securities and
other property ran well over a mil
lion dollars.

TTANOOGA WINS
|. POINT IN GEORGIA
". & A. RY. SUIT

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
original bill brought against Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, by the state Of Geor.
eia, TO restrain it from opening a
street through the yards of the
Western and Atlantic railroad was
dismissed without prejudice for want
Of equity today by the supreme
court.
Georgia, az the owner of the rail-
road. asserted that the opening OF
streets through the railroads termi-
raj yards at Chattanooga as pro-
posed by the city would materially
destroy the value of its property for
railroad purposes. The city cha4-
lenGed the jurisdiction of the SUI
preme court to consider such q pro-
ceeding, contending that it's original
jurisdiction extended only to cases
where a state sues in its sovereign
capacity. insisting that in the pres
ent instance il appeared as q private
o. Quasi-public corporation. The CITY
asserted among other reasons for
asking that the case be dismissed
that Georgia had acquired the land
subject to the express condition that
it had been liable to suits in the
state courts of Tennessee like any
other railroad.
The supreme court denied the
motion of Georgia to have dismissed
the proceedings instituted by Chat
tanooga in tile Tennessee courts. 1t
declared that Georgia, having &C
qured land in Tennessee, the land
is held as land by private parties
and cannot claim the immunity of d
sovereign.
1t also held that Georgia had con-
scented to be sued,
Georgia having taken the charac-
ter Of those engaged in the railroad
business in Tennessee, its property
is liable to condemnation like other
railroad property
Georgia's bill was 50 lacking II
equity, the supreme court stated,
that it must be dismissed without

Wife of Motion Picture Mag
azine Publisher Asks
100000 = Refuses to
Bring Divorce Petition

NEW YORK, April 5.-The wom-
an who would not divorce Eugene
V. Brewster, millionaire publisher,
that he might marry lovely Corliss
Palmer, struck today at the south
ern beauty from Macon.
Mrs. Eleanor v Brewster, who the
publisher married in 1916, filed suit
in tbs supreme court demanding
$200. 900 from Miss Palmer for al
legged alienation of her husbands az.
fections.
Declaring herself still adamant
against divorce, Mrs. Brewster, who
is mother Of one child, Virgil, born
in February, 1920, charges that in
the fall Of that year the defendant
"concaived, and at all times since
has entertained, design of obtaining
for herself from Eugene V. Brew
ster his financial support, affections
and consort and of depriUing plain
till an , said child of these benefits. "
Action Is Surprise
The action came like a thunder
bolt at a moment when Miss Palmer
was auctioning off expensive fur
coats and diamonds given her by the
publisher, in the same sales room
in which Brewster himself was dis
posing of tapestries. paintings, art
treasures and furnishings from the
New Jersey estate in which he es-
tablished the famous beauty.
The names of Miss Palmer and
Brewster appeared together on elab-
crate announcements Of the auction.
Miss Palmer was quoted as saying
they were getting I'd of old things, -
preparatory to refurnishing Cherry
Croft, the luxurious Morristown es-
cate built by Brewster.
IT'S nice to get rid Of ones old
things" fair Corl IS said.
Eeiterates Marriage Promise
Recently Brewster had announced.
however. that Miss Palmer was go
ing to a western city to begin life
anew under a different name, I'M
Handicapped by the publicity attend
ant upon her relations with him. At
this me he was quoted as reiterat-
ing his intention to marry the girl
if his wife would consent to a di-
VOTce.
The romance which led up to the
present suit began in 1920, when
Corliss Palmer, a Georgia girl, won
a beauty contest conducted by Brew
sJer. who publishes several motion
picture magazines.
she then was engaged to appear
IN film production backed by the
publisher, ana shortly thereafter
took up residence at his New Jer-
sey. estate.
The complaint filed today takes
up the story. 1t says Brewster
maintained Miss Palmer in great
luxury" and that she received large
sums Of money from him.
Mrs. Brewster charges Miss Pal
mer "paraded before the public
the fact that she was Brewster's
affinity" and lived with him as
such in violation Of the MARTA. re
lations of the publisher and his
wife, thereby scandalizing the
plaintiff and bringing the name
which she and her son bear into I'M
u'-asant and injur-c" Jor!ety."
Wife Aided Brewster
This was particularly saddening
10 Ms. Brewster, who did not be
Iieve in divorce, because, she alleges.
she had lived happily with Erew
ster until 1920, and moreover, had
aided him materially in his enter
prises. which have prospered 50
that he is now a man Of great
wealth"
Brewster admitted openly court
ing divorce. but Mrs. Brewster
