H COBB, OF
GEORGIA, IS
STABBED
IN DARK
•
Attacked. But Not Badly Hurt,
by Three Assailants While
Leaving Detroit.
SYRACUSE, N. V.. tug. 12.-*-Ty
Cobb was attacked by three assailants
and stabbed in Detroit last night while
he was on his way to take the South
western express for this city, where the
Detroit team plays an exhibition game
today.
While Cobb was not seriously injured,
he was slightly bruised and received
one knife wound in his back.
The ball player's agility saved him
from a bad beating and perhaps death.
Since the famous Georgian's advent
in major league baseball his career has
been a stormy one. Each season has
seen him in mote than one fight, and
the last one previous to the attack on
hint in Detroit not only caused a
strike of his fellow ball players but
threatened organized baseball's future.
When the youthful Southerner first
reached Detroit his hot temper could
not stand the jests and gibes through
which every recruit Is supposed to
pass.
Career Has Been
Full of Fight.
Taunted, because of his Southern
blood, he fought and beat Matty Mc-
Intyre. a teammate, then a famous out
fielder.
Later, in his major league career, he
pummeled a hotel employee in Cleve
land. He was indicted by a grand jury
in the Ohio city and for a while was
prevented from playing there. The
charge against him was finally set
tled.
Early in the present season he re
sented remarks made in reference to
him by a spectator in the New York
American league park grounds. He
dashed off the field, leaped into the
grandstand and manhandled the of
fender until that person had to be car
ried from the grounds.
He was suspended for this offense by
President Johnson, of the American
league, and his fellow players imme
diately struck in sympathy. Only
Cobb’s personal request that they re
sume playing after it had appeared for
several days that a baseball war was
imminent ended the incident.

Neither would India tolerate round

works would not be tolerated.
"I have stood on streets before your
churches and watched the parade of
fashion as it filed in and I have said to

how bizarre.’ India is commonplace
beside this," said Miss Bissell.

SEARCH
• ■
Charges She Was Humiliated
When Hotel Detectives In
vaded Her Room.
Humiliated by a midnight search of
her room while she was the guest of
the Piedmont hotel, Mrs. G. Laura
Walker today filed a suit for $40,000
in the superior court against the hotel.
In her bill of complaint she declares
that she was shadowed around the ho
tel by detectives, that the privacy of
her room was invaded by their peering
through the transom nf her apartment,
and that she was compelled to permit
the midnight search while she was in
delicate health
Through her counsel. F. R. Alston,
Mrs. Walker declares that her feelings
were wounded and her character and
reputation suffered as a. result of the
hotel’s action.
Says She Saw Man
Peering Over Transom.
She recites that she was a guest of
the hotel July 29 and occupied an
apartment with a woman companion,
whom she had to keen with her on ac
count of her physical infirmities.
According to her story, throughout i
her stay in the hotel she was shadowed
by house detectives. On the night of
July 29 she saw a man peering through |
the transom from a stepladder and ini- i
mediately there was a hammering on I
her door, accompanied by a command
that she dress immediately and must j
go to the police station.
She refused to open the door and de- ;
manded the causes of the intrusion.
"There’s a man in your room,” sin i
was told. "You’ve both got to get out."
She denied the charge, but says she I
was forced to submit to a search of I
her apartment by the hotel men. No |
one was found save her woman com- |
panion. Her suit resulted.
Taylor Says
There Was Cause.
Assistant Manager Taylor of the
Piedmont this afternoon gave the fol
lowing statement to The Georgian con
cerning the suit:
"When this case comes to trial we'll
be able to show to the satisfaction of
the court and all concerned that this
woman has absolutely no grounds for a
' suit for damages. The hotel detective
did enter her room—we make no denial,
of that sact —but we’ll show that he had
ample and perfectly good grounds for
his action, and we’ll further show that
Mrs. Walker wasn't humiliated, either.
The detective didn't force an entrance
to the room. He rapped on the door
and was admitted by Mrs. Walker. We
feel perfectly safe in what has been
done, and have no fear whatever of the
outcome of the suit.”

WOMAN SLAPS MAN
WHO ATTEMPTS TO
STEAL HER BANANAS
When a burly white man attempted
this morning to .steal a bunch of bana
nas from Mrs. Anna Salms, of East
Point, at West Mitehell and Broad
streets, she started to call a policeman
but —
lin second thought, she wheeled on
him. dealt him a powerful slap with
her right hand, and sent him reeling
, into the gutter. Then the thief ran.
Mrs. Salms had Just purchased the
bananas from a fruit stand. The bag
in which she was carrying them burst,
and the bananas fell to the sidewalk
While she was going back to the stand
for another bag, the man came up and
tried to make away with the bunch.
Some one asked her if she didn’t want
the man arrested.
"No." she replied. “He’ll never try to
steal from another woman, believing
that she’s frail and weak."

MRS. GRACE
REPORTED
SEEKING A
REUNION
New York Papers Say She
Hopes for a Reconciliation
With Wounded Husband.
Statements published in New York
papers quote Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace,
recently acquitted of the shooting of
her husband, Eugene, as declaring that
she will seek a reconciliation with her
husband. The statement is alleged to
have been made on her return to Phila
delphia to rejoin her blind son, to whom
she says she will devote the rest of hej
life
Here is the reconciliation story-
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 11.—Mrs.
Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace announced
today that she wanted to return to
the man who accused her and
caused her trial.
'T still love Mr. Grace.” said Mrs.
Grace. "No matter what he may
have said about me or what he has
charged me with doing. I love him.
I simply can’t help ft. I believe
that if his family would only let us
alone we would live together hap
pily. Perhaps we may find some
place where we may hide ourselves
and still be happy.”
Hasn’t Revoked His
Power of Attorney.
During this statement Mrs. Ul
rich looked with amazement, upon
her daughter.
“Daisy has told me all this be
fore.” she explained, "but I never
thought she was in earnest about
it. I suppose if a woman loves a
man like that it can’t be helped,
but perhaps it is a blessing that all
women do not love in that man
ner.”
Mrs. Grace refused to tell in
what manner she expected to effect
a reconciliation with her husband.
She denied that she had taken any
action “as yet” to revoke the power
of attorney which she had given
him.
"That is something I will not
talk about,” said Mrs. Grace. “That
is an affair strictly between Mr.
Grace and myself, and we will set
tle it to our own satisfaction.”
Mrs. Grace acknowledged that
she had sent a postal card to her
husband from Savannah and that
she had wished him many happy
returns upon his birthday and had
expressed the hope that they would
be together again before his next
birthday.
She Doesn't Care i
What Dorsey Said.
She refused to discuss the state
ment of Solicitor General Hugh M.

her. and who declared that he had
