It da recognized that Klein, in suble Klein story. weakened and told SOLD OFFICERS stantiating his confession before grand jury and In court, must necessarily admit he committed perjury, but it is broadly hinted by the county prosecutor's office that Klein will be dealt with leniently, and possibly may not serve a day in prison.

In most Instances representations were made that the "steerer" had a cousin who was secretary to a coterie of men of great wealth, who were traveling over the country for pleasure.

IN THE SPRING "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." the lady will take some notes from The Delineator for April and be guided accordingly in her selection of spring clothes, she is apt to find that when the young man sees the effect his fancy will turn more lightly this spring than it does most springs.

If, after lady is entirely through considering the clothes, she will turn to the new department with the Italian name she may find matter for her consideration that will lift her thoughts above clothes. At any rate, she will have a chance to find out exactly what a pleasant and sometimes thoughtful man sometimes thinks about women. She will also find the beginning of a most fascinating new novel by Mary Stewart Cutting. You know her, of course. Sandwiched in between a lot of good fiction and interesting articles she will find interesting subjects in the department treated- so wholesomely and so helpfully that if she doesn't look out the inside of her head will be even more beautiful than the outside of her person.

No other periodical today so completely ministers to a woman's wants as The Delineator whether she wishes to be well dressed, well read, or well fed, or whether she considers all three as mere details, and wishes most of all to be an active force for good in her own society and in her home.

VAUDEVILLE ALL SUMMER IF ATLANTANS WANT IT If Atlantans want ft, there will be vaudeville in the city for Afty-two weeks a year. This is the announcement made by Mr.

Wells, who was in Atlanta yesterday. It depends upon the people of Atlanta. If they patronize the shows offered, vaudeville will continue; if they fail to do so, vaudeville will take a summer vacation. There is great speculation as to. the policy of summer theatricals.

Is there to be a musical stock or a dramatic stock? It has not been much of a musical season. It has been quite a heavy dramatic season. This applies to the Lyric as well as the Grand. It looks at present as if musical stock would have the call, so far as form goes. "Menetekel," one of the cleverest novelty: acts in vaudeville, has been engaged as a special feature for Easter week at the Bijou.

Jake: Wells has determined to put in stronger and better class acts at the Bijou than has been the rule since popular vaudeville has been presented at a popular play. house, because the tremendous. patronage deserves such a condition. is a real headline feature, and has occupied that position in nearly every principal vaudevilie house in the country. The Wayne Company, in a new musical play, will come back week after next.

The elever company of nearly half a hundred people made A wonderful impression last trip, and there will be no uncertainty about the value of the entertainment this trip. A new Wells musical stock company has been organized to play the Wells circut: the balance of. the season. It will be seen at the Lyric within the next four or five weeks. Bob Harty is one of the principals, and Adlaline Estee, one of the cleverest musical comedy leading women known, has an important place.

Some old favorites have been Minnie St. Clair. who became a vaudeville headliner in one week. is one of the features of the Orpheum, and is Cescribed as a most charming young way, whose personal charm has lady, ache sings songs in a fetching lots to do with her success. It wouldn't be a great surprise it the famous Lew Dockstader is brought to Atlanta as an Orpheum headliner before the end of the season.

Mr. Wells has been offered the services of the famous minstrel, and though the salary 1s in four figures, without many ciphers, it is really thought that the laugh-producer will spend a week here for the first time in his life. ROBERT MORAN. INCREASE IN SALARIES FOR FEDERAL JUDGES "The movement which has been on foot generally throughout the United States for the year or more to urge congress to pass a bill increasing the salaries of the federal judges received a very Important impetus last week through the Introduction by Representative Moon, of Pennsylvania, of a bill in congress having for its object the increasing of the says Hollins Randolph, of Brown Randolph, who has just returned from Washington, where he attended a meeting of the national committee working for increased salaries for the federal judges. Mr.

Randolph is taking a prominent part in deliberations of this body. "This bill was referred to the general judiciary committee of the house, and It 1s stated is likely to receive a hearing at an early date before that committee. While none of the members of the committee have committeed themselves in specific terms as favoring the bill, still is generally believed that the committee will act vorably on the measure and will do so at once. Their favorable action will certainly meet with almost universal approval, 88 the various boards of trade and chambers of commerce, 88 well as all the Bar Associations throughout the entire country, have, at one time or another, passed resolutions strongly favoring the measure and calling upon and urging the representatives in congress to support "For example, every Bar Association In this state, local as well as general, and every board of trade and chamber of commerce in all of the cities of the state have acted favorably on this matter. "That the salries of all our judges, state As well AS federal, should be Axed in amount at least sufficient to provide for the judges and their familles reasonably commensurate to their station in life and the dignity of their high publie office admits of no dispute.

Moreover, It is conceded practically everywhere that, owing to the large Increase in the cost of living of late years, the present salaries are not adequate and, therefore, some Increase is indispensable, or so it would seem. "In addition to this, during the last Ave years, congress has very largely ON "WOMAN'S WORK" DR. LEE PREACHES Pastor of Park Street Church Pays Tribute to Women. "Mary took a pound of intment of spikenard, very costly, and 'anointed the feet of Jesus-and house was filled with 3. the odor of the ointment." With the above for a text, the Rev.

James W. Lee, of the Park Street Methodist church, preached a sermon yesterday on "The Quality of Woman's Work," in which he drew 8 parallel between this action of Mary's and the mission en of woman in the world. After comparing fragrance to the arts- of music, sculpture and painting, Mr. Lee continued, "When the flower gives out beauty it parts with none of its essential elements. When the organ gives out music it loses nothing of its real nature.

But when a flower gives out fragrance it is parting with its very soul. Perfume is a free gift. It is a non-commercial product. 16 18 a symbol of free grace, and exists merely to cheer and bless, to, regale I the and Savior's refresh. spikenard feet and Mary to used fill to the anoint house with perfume may be taken as a perpetual illustration of what it 1s in the heart of every woman to do in the church and in society.

Jesus was being pressed to death by the guilt and woa of men--and Mary comes with the distillations of the garden, with the souls of flowers to refresh His Spirit. She comes with the breath of the morning, caught out of the sky by the spikenard's blossoms, to cheer the heart of Him that had come to renew the house world. in In which Alling He with abode she fragrance was Alling with. fragrance the world in which humanity lives for all time. "Judas, who knew no values except such as' could be measured in earthly currency, betrayed his Master for thirty pieces of gold.

Mary, who esteemed spiritual worth as the only thing of value, spent all her wealth that she might bathe her Lord in the aroma of whole-hearted devotion. Thus we have revealed in Mary's expression the disposition and insight of the consecrated women. She would extract the -soul out of things and use it to make harmonious and happy the life of humanity. "If we study the character of the work that women have been doing in the church and in the women's clubs we can see that today she is secking to work in the same spirit that Mary's deed disclosed. She would emphasize the value of human life more thar that of things.

Men spend more than a hillion dollars every year on crime. Woman's insight would lead her ro build reformatorics and school houses. She would throw into the atmosphere we all breathe radiant and uplitting elements. She would ald, make it easier for us all to be good calling into action, by the fragrance of her sacrifice, the hidden and unused forces of our natures." TECH REGULARS PLAY ALUMNI NEXT SATURDAY J. W.

Heisman, coach of the Tech baseball team, announced last night that the regulars would play the alumni on next Saturday at Tech flats. Sunday Wedding An interesting wedding of Sunday was that of Miss Marie Cecilia Gellert to Mr. C. Marion Hood, at St. Anthony's church, in West End, Father Jackson officiating.

The bride came to Atlanta some time ago from Cincinnati. The groom has lived In Atlanta for a number of years The attendants were Miss Dora Hood. Colonel Johnson and W. H. Roberson.

The young couple will be at home to their A lenda at 287 Rawson street. LEGAL REFORM SHOULD INCLUDE WARPED JURIES -Rev. C. M. Ledbetter Editor Constitution: I have just read Judge T.

A. Parker's articles in today's Constitution calling for more intelligent and reliable jurors. He is certainly on the right line. More blame lies at the door of our juries than court officials. Too many Jurors will perjure themselves when they don't like a law or because they don't like a litigant.

In some out larger cities the average juror will- perjure himself in a minute. I was present in one or our large cities about a year ago in which a case was up for trial. The evidence was as strong and as direct as was ever brought into court, and from as good, reliable witnesses' as the state of Georgia possesses, and yet the jury stood 6 to 6 and brought about fa If the preachers and newspapers of Georgia will thunder out on the disregard of law by the juries it will bring about a betterment of things. I know that lawyers sometimes violate, a every law of right and decency. But the greatest trouble is with our juries.

The men who revise the jury box should be careful, and only put good, reliable men there. No man should be put in the jury box who is known to have taken part in any lynching. I trust that others will join in this fight until we produce a conscience sO strong in the jurors of our state that will make them bring In verdicts in accordance with the law and evidence. (Rev.) C.

LEDBETTER. Sylvania, March 18, 1910. OFFICE OF INSTITUTION MARKS THE INSTALLATION A peculiarly impressive ceremony marked the installation of the Rev. W. W.

Memminger, who yesterday morning assumed the rectorship of the beautiful Church of All Saints at the corner of North avenue and West Peachtree street, the office of institution being observed in that church for the second time in the Episcopal churches of Atlanta. The custom is an old one by which new rector is formally given the charge of his church, and formerly was observed in all Episcopal churches. It consists of a service in which the bishop confers upon the new rector all the powers and rights which are to be his, after which- the keys of the church are presented to the rector. The first minister to be thus installed the Rev. Mr.

Gass, who died some years ago, and since that time custom has not been observed, but Bishop C. K. Nelson, of the diocese of Atlanta, wishes to revive the ceremony, and requests that it be observed throughout the diocese. The bishop preached the sermon at All Saints' Sunday and discussed the office of institution. increased the number of courts which the federal judges have to preside over.

Many of these courts are held at a distance from the home of the udge, and this necessitates heavy expense on the Judges traveling to and from the court, and while holding court. These expenses are not paid by the general government and constitute a heavy burden on their salarles, in many instances more than 10 per cent of their entire salary. The bill introduced by Representative Moon provides a reasonable and just increase in the salaries, and is designed to remody the situation which now confronts all the judges due to the inadequacy of their present salaries. "Congressman W. G.

Brantley is the ranking democratic member on the judiciary committee of the house, to which committee this bill was referred, and will probably, therefore, have a very controlling interest in the fate of the measure. "It is generally believed by the gentlemen of the bar who have had active charge of the matter that if the judiciary committee acts favorably, that it will go a long ways toward securing the passage of the Moon bill through congress. at the present JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER GUARDED AT CHURCH Oil Magnate Attends Services at the Fifth Avenue Baptist. New York, March John D.

BALL OF FIRE APPEARS NIGHTLY ON PLANTATION IN MONROE COUNTY Juliette, March The people of Dyas, a small village in the western part of Monroe county, are greatly puzzled over a strange and most wonderful phenomena that makes its nightly appearance on the plantation of James Holloway. It generally appears about 11 o'clock and can be seen from that time until day breaks, when it disappears. It has existed for thirty or more and during that time has been seen by hundreds of people. Strange 10 say, notwithstanding the length of its existence, no account of its appearance has ever appeared in a newspaper.

No matter, according to investigations, what is the nature of the weather, whether it rs hot or cold, whether it is raining, sleeting or snowing, it makes its appearance 31- most every night in the year. It Is source of the greatest bewilderment to those who have seen it, and it 18 said to reesmble a small globule af fire about the size of a baseball, and although it is very bright like the light of a lamp, It does not cast any reflection and 18 not Illuminating. feet It generally remains about twenty above the earth and constantly trav els over a sixteen- acre field near the residence of Mr. Holloway, Sometimes it dances along the ground. Many attempts have been made by the citizens of Dyas tp get close enough to the object tor ascertain the nature of the phenomena, but as one gradually nears it suddenly disappears and appears again at a distance.

It has been seen by many of the most prominent and influential citizens of Monroe county, men whose veracity cannot be questioned and who have frequently stated that they would make affidavits to the effect that they had seen the phenomena and that it is certainly the most wonderful occurrence that they have ever seen: They state that that it is not a Jacko'-Lantern as the field where it makes its appearance is located at high altitude, where there is no vapor, and that it is not phosphorus because they cannot approach it.
