Atlanta Prisoners Accorded
Big Feast
98 TURKEYS ARE USED
;
Prisoners Make Merry Around the j
Festive Board—Given One Hour
and a Half of Feasting—Poet
Dedicates Lines to the
Occasion
Atlanta, December 35.—There was a
genuine air of Christmas cheer about
the dinner served today to the 918 pris- !
oners at the federal prison here. Plenty j
of roast turkey with cranberry sauce was ]
net before Warden Moyerss “hoarders'
in the prison mess hall to the accompant
mer.r of Christmas melodies and ragtime
songs.
Never before in the history of Amer
ican penal institutions have the inmates
of one enjoyed such a spread. The war
den explained to his charges when they
sat down to dinner that he believed that
every human being was entitled to l>e
happy at least one day out of 3GB. He
wished the prisoners “Many Merry Christ
mases and Happy New Yekrs,” and ho
touched a responsive chord when he ex
pressed the hope that they would spend
them “outside."
Ninety-Eight Turkeys Used
Ninety-eight fat turkeys, weighing 1000
pounds, 500 pounds of dressing and <350
pounds of mashed potatoes and 50 gallons
of gravy were provided for the feast, and
no one was denied when lie asked for a
second “helping." When each prisoner
took his place at the tables he found him
a plate piled high with turkey and dress
ing and potatoes. First there was a
prayer by the chaplain, and then a brief
speech by the warden, while the prisoners
sat silent with bowed heads. A flash
light explosion brought them out of their
reverie with a start an Instant before the
big gong clanged out its welcome invita
tion to the men to “go to it." Frightful
damage was inflicted upon those 98 juicy
birds at the iirst charge. After that it
was just a question how much of the
hour and a half allotted for the meal
would be used.
“Lady Bountiful." appeared to the„pris
oners during the dinner in the person
of Mrs. Emma Neal Douglas of Atlanta,
through whose generosity there was
placed at each man’s plate a half pound
of assorted candy. Led by Warden
Moyer the prisoners rose in their places
and gave three rousing cheers for Mrs.
Douglas who occupied a seat among the
guests at one end of the hall.
Take Fruit to Cells
When the prisoners marched back to
their cells they were permitted to take
with them the candy, together with ap
ples and oranges which limited capacity
prevented them from eating at the tables
The mess hall was beautifully decorated
with holly and evergreens. Eight to
gether, the men sat at pine tables and
occupied comfortable chairs instead of
the hard benches common to prisoners.
Negroes and whites were separated.
Logan P. Martin, the prisoner poet who
is known, as “Register Number 2381" at
the penitentiary dedicated the following
lines to the occasion:
“Let’s sing a song this Christmas day,
A song of gladness and of cheer;
A song that drives all frowns away,
And brings a smile to all who hear.
“Let’s do some little deed that win
i Bring happiness to some sad heart;
And thus the law of lt)ve fulfil,
By acting new the Christians’ part.
“Let’s let the star of Bethlehem shine,
Within these concrete walls tonight;
Our very cells will seem divine
With joy and hope and Christmas light."

Lamartine As Prophet
Paris Correspondence of the London

It is dally made known to us in these
days that Servia demands a port on the
Adriatic. Eighty years ago the poet La
martine, bending a prophetic eve on the
pear east, beheld that this would be so.
What Servia needs, lie wrote in so many
words, is a port on the Adriatic coast.
And he wrote these words on the l*ai
kan peninsula:
“The Bulgarians despise and hate the
Turks. They are ripe for independence,
and are destined to form with the Ser
vians. their neighbors, the basis of the
future European Turkey.” Further prem
ising. A union of Servia, Bosnia. Bulga
ria, and "the bellicose borders of Monte
negro.” Lamartine uttered this prophecy:
“On that day Europe will see a new
power rise upon the vg.st and bounteous
regions between the Danube, the Adriatic
and the Balkan range.” Only Lamartine
looked to Servia to form the nucleus of
the new' empire. The quotations ; re

a ‘‘constant reader” of a well known
French journal lias recently been re
reading.

WHERE BODY WAS FOUND
Goaded by an emphatic papular de
mand that they tind the murderer or
murderers of Joseph H. Logue, Chicago,
police aud detectives are working over

The Logue murder was the boldest
crime of the year. Following upon a
long series of hold-ups and robberies
by automobile bandits and assaults by
burglars upon men and women in their
homes, the slaying in broad daylight in
a theatre building half a block from the

key to the mystery and who Is being
sought, became the centre of the inves

HITCH IS NOT AN APPLICANT
FOR POSTOFFICE POSITION
Atlanta, December 25.—(Special.)—
Among: well Known politicians circulating
in the Kimball here today were Hon.
John T. Boifeuillet and Calvin M. Hitch.
Their quiet little tc-te a tete in a seelud
ed corner apparently indicated tliere w
something in the wind, especially in view'
of the recent report that Mr. Hitch has
been slated for the position of postmas
ter of Atlanta, at the expiration of the
term of Republican Postmaster Hugh L.
McKee.
Mr. Hitch when asked about the report
which has. connected his name with this
nice office stated, however, that it was
news to him.
‘ The first I heard of my name in con
nection with the Atlanta postoffice,” Mr.
Hitch said, "was through the publica
tion in the Atlanta newspapers. I am
not even an applicant, but 1 do not hesi
tate to say that I would not think of
turning such an interesting office down
should it come my way.”
Mr. Hitch was formerly executive sec
retary under Governor Hoke Smith, arid
materially assisted him in several of his
campaigns.
Mr. Boifeuillet, clerk of the Georgia
house of representatives, when it is in
session, and at other times special rep
resentative of United States Senator A.
i)‘ Bacon, looked as usual as If he hud
just stepped from a band box, only more
so. The name of the handsome and dis
tinguished Maeonite has also been con
nected with the federal pie counter under
President-elect Woodrow Wilson, but that
is a subject John Boifeuillet doesn’t dis
cuss. In fact, nij friends think he is
pretty well satisfied where he Is.
It is pretty well understood, however,
that Mr. Boifeuillet’s influence is a pret
ty good one to have in Washington, and
not a few applicants for federal office are
seeking it
There is so far only one applicant for
the Macon post mastership. Mr. Boifeuil
let said, and that is U. L*. McKinney,
business manager and one of the proprie
tors of the Macon Evening News. Ii will
be some three years, however, before
Postmaster Harry Edwards’ commission
expires.
Mr. Boifeuillet said no one seemed to
know just what would be the new Frrs
ident’s policy as to republican officials
whose terms have a long time to run.
There is considerable interest in this fea
ture of the situation elsewhere beside?
in Georgia, and many a keen eye will
be on the lookout to see just what (*resl
dent Wilson is going to do to the “ras
cals” who are in.
WISH TO RELIEVE STATE OF
BURDEN OF ALIEN INSANE
Albany, N. V., December 5.—States
most affected by the protest.of the alien
insane have accepted an invitation to
co-operate with New York in an effort
to induce congress to enact legislation
designed to relieve the states of tho
btirden of caring for mental defectives
admitted to this country, according to
a statement today by Governor Dix.
A meeting to consider the proposed leg
islation will be called by Dr. Hpencel
b. Dawes of Albany, who was appointed
by Governor Dlx to investigate the
question in the state. Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, "West
Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Indiunu and Illinois have
promised to he represented.
In his statement Governor Dix cites
New York’s expense with alien insane
as indicating- the magnitude of the prob
lem confronting the states most affect
ed. He points out. that the nfxt legis
lature will be asked to appropriate
$ 11,792,701 to care for the insane for
1913, an increase of 33,422,318 over 1912.
Thousands of these insane persons
were aliens. The government estimate
with care of each patient costs $250 an
nually and that the average hospital
life of each patient is ten years.

CURIOUS JUNK NOTES
Extraordinary Misprints and Other
Defects, and Their esults
From the Y.outU’s Companion.
Occasionally an imperfect or misprinted
banknote, will evade the vigilance of the
inspectors of the bureau of engraving
and printing. The most extraordinary
misprint that ever found Its way Into
dhculation was a $50 national bank note.
A clerk In a western hotel, in making
up his amounts, found a discrepancy that
could not be explained, lie placed the
pile of bills at his left hand, and ns he
unted each one, turned the note over and
put It on a pile ut his right. He dls
covered that when he counted from left
to right his cash balanced exactly, but
that when he counted from right to left,
there was a shortage of $60. The clerk
spent more than two hours in trying
to find opt what was the matter. Finally
in desperation, he called upon the cashier
for assistance. The cashier hud no bet
ter success. Again and again he counted
the bills., with the same result—one
time, the cash would balance, ar.d the
next time it would show a shortage. Fi
nally he examined each bill, both face
and back—whereupon the mystery was
explained. One of the bills bore the de
sign of |60 on the face and that of $1»i0
on the back. The clerk had taken tho
bill for $100.
Upon corespotullng with the treasury
department, they found tliat the depart
ment had a rtecord of the bill: Tn 18Sa*
one sheet of bank notes for a national
bank in Kansas City had been reversed
in the press. One plate bore the obverse
of a $5o bill at the top and the obverse
of a $100 bill at the bottom. The other j
plate bore the reverse of the two notes.
As each sheet was printed It had been
laid aside to dry before being run through
for the reverse printing. Inadvertently
the pressman had turned one sheet up
side down, with the result that two mis
printed hills came forth—one with a $50
face and a $100 back and the other with
a $10 dollar face and a $50 back. The.
cashier of the batik bad been the first to
become aware of the error, lie found
that something was wrong, after he had
the $100 back, by coming across one with
the $100 face and the $50 dollar back.
This note was returned to the treasury
and destroyed, and a. perfect one issued
I in its stead.
I One of the 18S0 notes is found in a
j treasury seal entirely different from any
other ever used by the government. The
I key, which is one of the most important
symbols of the seal, shows a handle at
the left hand side instead of at the right,
as on all others. The shield Is of differ
ent shape and the stars are larger. The
two ends of the band surrounding the
•jmhols are fastened with a buckle,
which In no other instance forms a part
of Hie design of a treasury seal. This is
the only Issue of notes on which the
peculiar Beal was used, and collectors of
paper money' include them among the
"freaks."
Another curiosity is a *l note oi \nn
Second National bank of Ravenna, O.,
Tt lacks the signature of the president
and the cashier, although It was eurcu
latcd without challenge. A one-dollar na
tional hank note of the First National
hank of Fall River, Mass., also lacks
both signatures, but passed freely for
some time before the blunder was ob
served. Still another one-dollar note—
that of the First National bank of In
dianapolis—lacks the signature of the
president. A certain legal tender note
of INGA has one very curious feature. Its
face bears a portion of Webster and a
representation of Rolf*' representing Po
cahontas to Queen Elizabeth. At the
bottom of the centre is a small eag'e.
t'pon turning this bill upside down the
eagle presents a faithful likeness of
a donkey's head. Whether this was
intended by the engraver as a joke is
not known, hut the resemblance is so
close that ft seems to Indicate premedia
tion on his part.
