Wife of Well Known Mil lionaire Said to Have Visit ed Attorneys’ Offices. Atlanta, Feb. 11.—Mrs. Asa G. Can dler, Sr., this afternoon engaged coun sel and prepared to fight the charges which she must face in police court tomorrow morning as the outgrowth of her arrest by Police Chief James L. Beavers Saturday afternoon in an apartment with two well known At lanta business men. Although Mrs. Candler could not be located by newspaper men, and was neither at the home of her millionaire husband or of her mother, Mrs. T. M. Little, it became known that she had visited the offices of her attorneys and that her counsel had conferred with the attorneys engaged to repre sent W. J. Stoddard, prominent dry cleaner, and K. W. Keeling, president of a brick manufacturing company, also arrested in the raid. Attorneys for Stoddard and Keeling TeclareTTKey" would ffgbt Hj asserted that the city ordinance un der which the arrest was made .could not be invoked to sustain the charges against the two men and Mrs. Can dler. On the police docket, the three persons are charged with violation section 1768 of the city code, which refers to “dives” and which the all- embracive charge lodged against per sons arrested where intoxicants are drunk. Police Chief Beavers, who led the raid, reported that a bottle almost emptied of whiskey was found on the table around which Mrs. Candler and the two men were seated when he went to the apartment at 48 Juniper street. The person to whom the apartment was rented has not been learned by the police and no subpoena has been issued for her appearance tomorrow morning. Asa G. Candler, the millionaire soft drink magnate, who married Mrs. Candler last June while she was a public stenographer in the building which he erected, was at his office today and held conferences with his personal attorney, W. G. Thomson, but he would make no statement e -arrest -of-fris -wiler- of her husband,' has not been at the j Druid Hills mansion of Mr. Candler since she was arrested about 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon and her mother declares that she has not been staying at the little home on Pace’s Ferry road. Her twin daughters by a form er marriage, however, have been with Mrs. Little for several days. - An effort to have the cases against Stoddard and Keeling heard without the presence of Mrs. Candler or Chief Beavers was made this morning by their attorheys, who announced to Re corder George E. Johnson in police court that they will waive the ap pearance of either the woman or the chief. ’ " Judge Johnson, however, ruled that Mrs. Candler must be present when the cases are tried and indicated that ♦ he expected her to be present at 8:30 o’clock tomorrow morning. He also directed that a stenographer be dis patched to take the deposition of Chief Beavers, who has been ill at his home since yesterday morning’. Carpets: Carpets may be rid of moths if the affected part is soaked with benzine. Care should be taken that no fire is near. Mrs. Candler,.according to friends Mrs. B. C. Blalock, of North Caro lina, is spending several weeks with ■bar ■Jmmha.nd, whp is pow with Jacobs & Company. Bluing: Next Monday when wash ing try adding a little washing soda to the bluing water. It will prevent any streaky appearance in the cloth es. Whale Bones: Whale bones play ap important part in the daily dress ing of most women. After a time they become bent and are thrown away to be replaced by new ones. This is not necessary. The bones, if soaked in hot water for a few minutes and then ironed will be as good as new, and may have a second life as long as the first. Washing Sweaters: Button holes should be sewed together before wash ing so aiTtb prevent their stretching. the Clinton Cafe and Candy Kitchen.

The missionaries are doing all in their power to abolish this heathen custom, and no one who attends the mieeionary school is al lowed to bind her feet but every month their feet have to be watched for so anxious are they for small feet that some will slip and bind them.
