T.R. HITS BOSSES
IN FIGHT FOB
VERMONT
If You Want to Rule Yourselves
You’ll Have to Come With
Us, He Declares.
BENNINGTON. VT„ Aug. 29.—Colo
nel Roosevelt rtarted his three days
campaign in Vermont, today with a
bristling speech at the ball grounds |
here, in which he attacked the Demo
cratic ano Republican parties for thr-ir
boss rule
"If you want to govern yourselves
and not ha v <*the venal boss —such as
the Penrose type—do it, then you will
have to come with us," exclaimed the
colonel
As Colonel Roosevelt stepped to the
platform to face the 5.0Q0 people in the
ball park, /tome one cried, "Give it to
’em. Teddy "
The colonel grinned.
"I'm flourishing under their attack,"
he replied. "I'm not a> thin as I was
In Cuba, anyway.'
Frazet Metz.g. the gubernatorial
candidate, forgot to introduce the colo
•i< I, so R osevelt exclaimed, "Look here,
I gue.'s i n have to Introduce myself."
Th rowd laughed and the colonel
plunged into his speech.
No Ambition to Serve.
"I happ n to stand today symbolizing
a movement that is to make for im
provement of our national life,” he said.
•'We stand f-.r the forces that make for
progress. I'm using myself in this fight
merely to lead I've no peisonal am
bition to serve."
Roosevelt spoke of getting letters
from Republican admirers who were
anxious to vote for him for president,
but felt a reluctance tn leave the Re
publican party.
"Now. it Is quite true that many of
us may feel a stretching of heart
strings to leave the old part v," he went
on. "Abraham Lincoln felt it when In
1856 he had to break away from the
"Whig party to go into the new ly for rued
Republican party. A demand existed I
for a party that would more closely 1
represent the people then, Just as th< I
demand exists today for a new party." I
The ex-president Jumped into the I
Penrose-Archbold-Standard Oil contro. !
versy.
"For some time I have been dwelling
upon the alliance of crooked polities
and crookad business.” said the colonel.
"1 have been saying that such a < look
ed alliance exists Now comes Mr. Pen.
trosc and Mr Archbold, and they Jump
up ami say it's all true."
, • Issue Won in Pennsylvania.
“I want to call your attention to the
significance of their action. They have
shown that the corrupt Pennsylvania
machine is in cahoots with the Stand
ard Oil Company In Pennsylvania I've
had it out with Mr. Penrose We whip
ped him last spring when we got 68 out
of the 7tl delegates He hasn't a chance
of carrying Pennsylvania for Mr Taft.
«nd he knows it. That's all over now.
I'm willing to stand on the unconscious
recommendation Penrose and Archbold
have given me
“They say I could not be influenced to
serve the Standard Oil. Stripped of
the verbiage. the testimony of Penrose
and Archbold Is not unlike some eases
of police corruption of the underworld
of our great cities.
"They also allege that Mr Bliss, the
national campaign treasurer, trie! to
blackmail them in my interest. Mr.
Bliss is dead. Thee never made the ac
cusation in his lifetime. I have pro
duced letters to show that if any money
was received from the Standard Oil
Company it was in spite of my ex
press prohibition against it Mind you.
I don't say that none was received. 1
can't testify about that but I did ex
pre-siy forbid that it be taken.
Archbold Didn’t Get Immunity.
"Mr Archbold doesn't complain, you
see that he was blackmailed into giv
ing the Standard Oil Company, as he
sg l . s. promises of immunity No. he
complains that he didn't get the goods.
We went ahead with our prosecution
against Ute Standard Oil anyhow. Mr
Archbold writes his own condemnation.''
Roosevelt declared that the Standard
Oil had not complained of the outcome
of the government's action under Pres
ident Taft
"No." he cried. "Mr Archbold said
he thought of darkest Abyssinia whew
he thought of the attitude of nil ad
ministration toward htn not that of
Mr. Taft. He was frightened by the
prospect of my having another admin- '
istration ”
"You will, you will." chorused the
crowd.
"I think I will." answered th. , .q.mvl

Roosevelt reached North Bennington
at 8:50 o'clock this morning by train
and drove lure by automobile. At sta

letter Roosevelt will answer the testi

Prominent Manufacturer Able:
to Run a Convention or a
Shoe Machine.
Whether It s the running of compli
cated shoe machinery that has made
J. K. Orr, president of the company
that bears his name, an expert runner
of conventions, or vice versa, hasn't
been settled, but both come as easily
to the president of the Southern Mer
chants association.
Mr. Orr, who is prominent in frater
nal as well as business circles, is an
other striking example of big Atlanta
business men who know their trade
from the ground—or rather the sole—
up. If hard put to It, he could himself
turn out a.boot that would suit a Jim
Jeffries—or one that would tickle a
princess.
The glimpse of him shown in the ac
companying picture isn't at all an un
usual view, for no shoemaker who ever
obeyed the ancient injunction to stick
to his last ever got better acquainted
with his machine than the man who
owns enough of them to shod most of
Atlanta.

Over One Million Pounds Pur
chased Last Year. Owing to
Milliners' Fads.
PARIS, Aug. 29 In France during
the last seventeen years the importa
tion of hair has gone up by leaps and
bounds. In 1894 some 150,000 pounds
weight of hair was imported. In 1899
the imports had more than doubled and
the crescendo continued until last year
France was importing over a million
pounds weight of hair, mainly from
China and Japan.
It is true that not all of this is for
home consumption; a fourth is re
exported Still, the figures are formid
abh What Sots it mean? Is the
Frenchwoman losing her crown of
glory? Nothing so serious as that. The
milliners, with tiie immense ,hats they
die tate. are responsible. One might
almost suspect them of collusion with
the halt importers, for their pyramidal
confections require to be propped and
bolstered with -urls innumerable if
they are to keep their equilibrium. This

rise to a new trade. There are men
who. working chiefly in the great shops,
make a comfortable living by picking
up ami reselling the curls shed by
eager bargain hunters.

Education Board Has Plan for
High School University, Us
ing Old Stockade.
W. M. Slaton, superintendent of At
lanta’s- public schools, announced to
the board of education yesterday aft
ernoon that Dan Cupid had again made
serious inroads on his teaching corps
and then proceeded to read a list of
resignations. But he did no/ explain
whether all of them was quitting
school work for matrimony.
Following the suggestion of W. R.
Daley, president, the board declared
itself in favor of a university plan* for
the four city high schools. A resolu
tion was prepared to be presented to
council Monday urging that the Boys
High school property, the Boys Tech
High school 'property, the Girls High
school property and the English Com
mercial High school property be sold
and that the city stockade building and
sufficient land around it be donated
to the School department for the loca
tion of a city high school university.
Four new high school buildings are
needed badly. The city has prepared
to build an English commercial girls
high school on Washington street. The
city also has purchased a lot at the
corner of Fort and Gilmer streets for
a new stockade.
Board Seeks Prompt Action.
The plan of the board of education
will not interfere ’with any of the other
plans. Several of the leading members
of council have already declared in fa
vor of it. The board is simply crying
for prompt action. They declare that
the sale of the old properties will bring
in sufficient money to build the new
schools.
The board of education has re
established the Seegmiller system of
drawing and manual training as a part
of the Curriculum of the public schools.
But the system is to be conducted in a
more simple manner than formerly.
The report of the board's special
committee on drawing was that this
system be retained and that the selec
tion of the head of the drawing depart
ment be referred to a special commit
tee. Members of the board said that
Miss Elizabeth Getz, the former direc
tor of the department, would not apply
for re-election. The report of the com
mittee was adopted.
By the adoption of a resolution the
board declared that Children w’hose
homes are not in Atlanta would not be
admitted to the public schools. A num
ber of applications from children who
want to live with relatives or friends in
Atlanta and attend the public schools
were turned down. But the board
adopted a resolution admitting the chil
dren of the employees of the Federal
prison to the public schools, although
the prison is outside the city limits.
The following new teachers were
named by the board:
Bor the Girls Night School—Mrs. Os
car Gamble and Miss Eva Motes.
Grpde Teachers for the Grammar
Schools—Misses Ena C. Proctor, H. C.
Wilt, Josie Webb, Mildred Harfly, Lucy
Broyles, Opal Archer, Gussle Carr. Mae
Speers, M. E. Laird, Gertrude Beck
man. Daisy Bearden and Annie Huize.
Eight Resignations Accepted.
Supernumeraries for the Grammar
Schools—Misses Fannie Henley. Lisha
Moore, Lillian Blair, Louise Leiper,
Lillian Logan, Osna Bernstein, Geral
dine Vigneaux, Eugenia Jones. Grace
Terrell, Alethea Latham and Louise
Gullock.
Negro Grade Teachers—Sadie Ander
son, Arlena McCune, Susie M. Howell.
Negro supernumerary. Gladys Phillips.
These resignations were accepted:
Misses Zelma Smith, May B. Raherty,
Katherine Greer, Elizabeth Thomas.
Myrtle F. Dame, Bertha Jones, Flora
Thornton and Kutha White.
Resolutions expressing sympathy to
the family of Miss Belle Kennedy, the
assistant principal of the Girls High
school, who died recently, were adopted.

Up and Down
Peachtree
Shriek Sends Shivers
Up and Down Marietta.
The early morning quiet of Marietta
street was broken today by a sudden
shriek which pierced the- atmosphere
from Five Points to the trolley build
ing. broke up a cow auction in Forsyth
street and spoiled the gossip in the city
hail. It was followed by another, and
then another, as though a woman were
suffering all the torments of a June
bug down the back of her neck. Every
body dropped work and ran to the
street.
The shrieks came from a theater near
the Five Points and the more they came
the worse they got. The first cry of
deepend into a long, elastic
wail, like a steamboat blowing for a
wood yard. This was interrupted as
suddenly as though the fine Italian
hand of the villain had closed upon
Tessie's windpipe. Horror-stricken, the
mob rushed wildly toward the scene.
Then the shriek switched into an ear
splitting note such as a 60-horsepower
clarinet might produce, reached its
crescendo, fluttered a bit and came
down like a Jap acrobat doing the slide
for life. The amazed listeners had
reached the door by this time. Some
hesitated, but a few hardy spirits went
boldly in.
The man was putting a new rinky
dink on the rag-time orchestrion in the
lobby. And "Everybody's Doin' It" was
the only victim.

WHITES PERILED
BY DISEASES OF
SERVANTS
Expert Declares Filthy Negro
Homes Are Greatest Menace
to Public Health Here.
Analyzing health conditions in At
lanta today Dr. Claude A. Smith, city
bacteriologist, declared that one of the
greatest sources of contagious diseases
was the homes of negro servants. He
urged stricter building and sanitary
laws.
"We hate ignored the home condi
tions of the negro." said Dr. Smith,
"when they are closer to us than the
members of our family. They do our
, laundry, our cooking and nuise our
children. But we close our eyes to
their health and living conditions.
"Many of the negroes don't care how
they live. Many of their homes are
, steeped in disease-breeding filth. The
well and personally clean ones associate
with tubercular and other contagious
disease infected negroes. We seem
, ingly don’t care if they live in holes in
. the ground and we ignore their asso
ciates.
“One remedy is more strict building
and sanitary laws,” he continued. "The
present building code permits the erec
tion of almost any sort of a structure
f in some sections of the city. But the
greatest need is to arouse even our
most intelligent people to their own
; apathy regarding these conditions.
Fight Disease in Dark.
’ “Every person thinks that his serv
' ants are all right. People laugh at any
suggestion for bettering these condi
, tions as they did when campaigns were
‘ first begun against flies and mosquitoes
But until we give our negro population
t more attention we are fighting disease
j in the dark."
Dr. Smith said that the campaign for
better milk was showing better and
better results. He said that a number
of cases had recently been made against
] dairymen as a result of the bacteria
.test and a great deal of milk that had
j been shipped to the city had been con
demned for the same reason.
j The city ordinance provides that all
milk sold in the city must be below 55
degrees in temperature to prevent
growth of bacteria. He said the ordi
nance ought to be changed making it
50 degrees. And he urged all con
sumers of milk to secure a thermome-
Iter and test the milk when it is deliv
ered to them.
Dr. Smith said that none of the milk
1 sold in Atlanta was very bad, but that
i when the bacteria was not kept at a
3 minimum the milk was dangerous for
5 young babies. When there is an excess
3 of bacteria it has a general debilitating
effect on the babies and often pro
' duces serious intestinal trouble.
