CLIMAXTO SCANDAL
Steel Magnate Corey Weds
"Butterfly" Actress.
A
PUBLIC MORALS SHOCKED
Faithful Wife of His Youth,' Who
neipea mm in nis ruse to rur*
tur.e, Was Discarded Through
Handy Divorce Court.
A New York special says: In order
to escape the unlucky thirteenth
of the month, William Eliis Corey,
president of the United States Steel j
Corporation, and Mabelle Gilman, the
former actress, were not married until
after midnight Tuesday morning. j
The ceremony took place in the royal ,
suite at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth are- j
nue and Fifty-5fth street, in the pres- !
ence cf a small party of friends of the
contracting couple. j
There was 110 music during the even- j
ing, and there were 110 bridesmaids,
Miss Gilman being attended only by
Miss Frances Erskine Shaw of London.
Mr. Corey was unattended. ~ j
After the nuptials the pair took an
automobile and were whirled away to
Hobojien, where they boarded the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, which
sailed at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday morning.
i
Mr. and Mrs. Corey will proceed to
Paris and will then go to the Chateau
Genis, 25 miles from Paris,where
the honeymoon wiil be passed. They
expect to remain there until they reiuitn
to America, about the middle of
J 91 y. j
The wedding of W. E. Corey and
Mabelle Gilman is the culmination of
a scandal <hat has filled the newspapers
for many months. In order to
prepare to marry the actress Corey
deserted his wife and forced her to
get divorce from him. . 1
Corey married his first wife when
he was a struggling day laborer in
the steel mills at Pittsburg. She bore
him children and they^ iived happily !
. rfnrins Corey's rise to wealth and
power until he saw Mabelle Oilman on
the stage. |
Then Corey discovered that the wife
of his youth was not suited to him I
and began that ardent pursuit of the
shapely actress which resulted in the ,
\ divorce of his wife and his wedding
/ Miss Oilman.
Corey's conduct was bitterly denounced
by bis mother, father sisters
and uncles. Two days ago the j
uncle for whom Corey is named said j
that the wedding of Corey and Ma- ,
belle Gilman would bring its own punishment.
It is estimated that Corey has spent
$4,000,000 in acquiring Mabelle Gilman.
About $3,000,000 of this sum
went to his wife an;! children. He
has recently settled'a fine estate on
I his aged parents in the hope that it
would lessen their opposition to his
i ;
.'wedding the actress.
Although Mabelle Gilman has de
clared tnat u. n. unman, nviug m |
San Francisco, is not her father, he :
sent the following telegram to her: !
"Accept a father's blessing for hap- '
piness and a long married life. Live
up to Christian Science." i
The message was addressed to W.
E. Corey and Mabelle Gilman, Hotel
. Gotham, N#w York.

GEORGIA WINS VICTORY.
Big Copper Plants at Ducktown, Tenn., I
j Ceclared to Be Nuisances in De- j
cision by U. S. Supreme Court.
i
j Georgia has won iis case against
; the Tennessee Copper company and j
i
j the Ducktown Sulphur, Copper and j
j Iron company in the Tnited States
j supreme court.
I Dispatches from Washington :\Icnj
day morning announced a decision in
i the famous litigation, which lias been
! rliti rmirts sineir 1902.
J The opinion was handed down by J
Justice Beckham, who declared thai
it Georgia pressed the case against I
, the copper manutacturers an injunei
tion would be issued against the dej
fendant. For over three years Attorney
General John C. Mart, assisted
by Attorney Ligon Johnson, who has
i been associated with him in all the
Intricate litigation, has rought the
case for the state of Georgia,
i The big copper roasting plants are j
at Isabella and Ducktown, Tenn.Just
across the line front Georgia. They
began smelting in 1901 and by 1902
local evidences of destruction to vegetation
from the sulphur fumes appeared.
In 1903 the area of damage had ;
spread across the Tennessee line and
had appeared in the upper tier oi
Georgia counties. Complaints began
coming to the stale authorities, and
the legislature of that year was pe
titioned to afford relief. )
A legislative committee was ap- j
pointed to investigate, and if dam- I
ages were found as sot forth tne gov- j
ernor was authorized to institute pro- j
ceedings to abate a nuisance. The re- !
port of the committee more than sustained
the allegations in the petition,
and an appeal was made to the Ten- j
ncssee governor to estop the nuisance.
On refusal, legal proceedings were
instituted. At that-time the ore was
roasted in the open and on the
promise to abandan this method, legai
action was dismissed.
The abatement of the trouble was
not permanent, however, and further
complaints came from a wider area of
destruction. Since then the case has
been fought in the courts until now
Georgia wins finally, being given power
to completely suppress the nuisance.
s * '
Nearly 100 miles of northern Georgia
has been almost completely denuded
of vegetation, and many farmers
have had to practically abandon
farming. This decision is expected to
have far-reaching effect as a precedent,
as other cases have awaited the j
outcome of the Georgia litigation.
Coniiug to the proof in the case,
Justice Holmes said:
"Without any attempt to go into
details, immaterial to the suit, it is
proper to add that we are satisfied
by a preponderance of evidence that
the sulphurous fumes caused and
threatened * damage on so considerable
a scale, to the forest and vegetable
life, if not to humau health. .
within the plaintiff's state as to make
a case within the requirement of the
case of Missouri vs. Illinois. If the
state adheres to its determination,
there is no alternative to issuing an
injunction after allowing a reasonable
time to the defendant to complete
the structures that they are now building,
and the efforts that they are making
to stop the fumes. The plaintiff
may submit a form of decree on the
convening of this court in October,
next."

LOVE WRONG SIDED

Engaged to Marry His Business
Partner.
Charged with sending a bomb to
.Miss McCarthy, at 447 East Georgia
avenue, to murder the young lady, hecause
she was about to wed Charlie
Dolittle, with whom he was infatuated,
the bomb nearly hilling the girl's
mother, Fred Bush was arraigned in
the recorder's court at Atlanta Friday
afternoon, and held in a $10,000 bond
for assault with intent to murder.
Chariie Doolittle was also arraigned,
but the case against him was dismissed.
%
The,case was one of the most sensationai
that has ever been heard in
any court in the city. The man who
was held under such a heavy bond
stood charged with attempting to annihilate
a whole family and especially
a young woman, because a
young man visited the house for
? * * 1 7 J ~
wnoni ne naa ior many years ueiu a
deep, and what was believed to be
an unnatural affection.
It was brought out at the trial that
act of Bush was that of a jilteu lover,
but. the evidence in the case, which
was investigated by the recorder
brought out the fact that Fred Bush
was so deeply attached to Charlie
Doolittie that he tried to wreck a
home and murder a household, rather''than
become separated from a
youth, who was his partner in business
and for whom his affection was
almost a mania.
In one part of the investigation
the city attorney asked Doolittie if'
Bush ever hugged and kissed him,
and Doolittie laughed slightly and replied
that he did several years ago.
Charlie Doolittie stood near Bush
during the trial, and it was noted by
more than one in the court room that
Bush never took his eyes from the
pale-faced youth by his side.
Doolittie told nothing criminating
against his business partner and warm
l'riend. As the recorder remarked, he
did all he could to shield Bush from
the arm of the law.
Itw as brought out at the trial that
Doolittie is now, or was when the
murder was attempted, Miss McCarthy's
sweetheart. They were engaged
to be married.
Mrs. Julia McCarthy, the mother of
the girl for whom*the infernal machine
was indeed intended, and who
was seriousjv injured, was not-' able
to appear in court.
The negro messenger boy, the only
person who saw the man who^Sent idle
box to*the McCarthy home, pointed
Bush 'out in court as the man whom
he had met on the night of the explosion.
Miss McCarthy was on the stand
and told about her love affairs with
Doolittle and about how queerly he
acted at times.
Bush made a statement. His manner
was cool, collected and suave.
His reasons for everything was "business."
It was business that made him
object to Charlie Doolittle visiting
young ladies; it was business that
made him bring Charlie back to Atlanta
from Florida; it was business
that made him go to see Mrs. McCarthy;
it was business that made
him take such a deep interest in
Charlie's affairs and act as his guardian
and master.

HAYWOOD ON TRIAL 1
First of Trio of Alleged Murderers of j
Governor Steunenberg Arraigned
in Court at Boise, Ida.
i
i i
| William D. Haywood, first of tha i
alleged narticinants in the conspira- i
cv by which it is averred the assas- j
sination of Frank Steunenberg was !
plotted and executed, was placed upon i
trial for his life at Boise, Idaho, j
Thursday morning.
Counsel for the state and the pris- j
oner entered at once in a business- ;
like way upon the examination of j
prospective jurors and kept steadily
at the task for five hours. Xo juror ;
was finally accepted, but substantial j
progress was made. The opening of !
the trial went through to its conclu- j
sion in quiet harmony unmarked by j
unusual incidents. Its striking fea- j
ture was the entire absence of crowds !
or demonstration in any form. At
no time, morning or afternoon, was
the court room more than half filled, !
and the streets forming the court [
house square contained not a single J
.loiterer.
The case was halted shortly be- j
lore 5 o'clock by the exhaustion of
' ' * 1 tt'OO I
tQO JUry pautJl Iiuu aujuuiumcm, hum |
taken until Monday. The eleven men j
under examination, but not finally ac- j
cepted or rejected, were locked up j
and and will be closely guarded.
Haywood was brought to the court !
room at 10 in the morning. He found j
his invalid wife and liis two daugii- j
ters in a line of chairs to the right of
his seat, and in l'ront were all of his !
counsel. He took practically no part j
in the selection of jurors and seems
content to leave the matter entirely
in the hands of his lawyers.
Haywood gave no sign of any feeling
or emotion, but sat quietly
throughout tKe day. Mrs. Haywood
and the older daughter stood the or- \
deal apparently well, but the younger
child cried after the examination or |
talesmen began. Mrs. Haywood and \
her childreii did not attend the afternoon
session.
The questioning of the defense i
took a much wider range than that j
of the state and its most striking fea- [
ture - dealt with the possible effect i
upon the minds and attitudes of jur- i
ors by the letter of President Roose- j
velt in calling Haywood and his as- j
sociates "undesirable citizens, tue j
speeches in Idaho of Secretary Taft,!
the message or uovernor uooumg iu
the legislature ' of Idaho, the speech
iu l^isc of Senator Heyburn and the
action of the Idaho legislature in pass->
ing a resolution appropriating money \
for -the prosecution of the three J
prisoners.
Attorney Richardson, who conducted
the examination of the talesmen, !
was also particular to ascertain their j
attitude toward socialists and mem- j
bers of labor organizations and whether
they could give them a fair trial.
He was also anxious to know if they
had professional, personal, fraternal,
religious or political affiliations, with
any of the counsel for the state, any
connection with detective agencies,
and experience in the pursuit or prosecution
of criminals, or were mem- i
bers of the Mine Owners' Association.
Richardson also asked if they had
contributed to any fund for.the prosecution
of the prisoners, if they were ;
members of the citizens' alliance, if
they remembered the old labor troubles
in Idaho and if they had taken
sides in the labor troubles at any
time.
A remarkable feature of this exam
ination was that all of the talesmen
questioned by the defense swore that
they had not been influenced by the
letter of President Roosevelt, the
speeches of other officials of the national
or state governments, and a
majority said they were Republicans.
The chief concern of the counsel for
the state in the examination of talesmen
as indicated by their questions
was their attitude toward circumstantial
evidence.

With all the impressive ritual of the j
Masonic ceremonies, the cornerstone J
oi' the handsome $20o,ouu ' Masonic J
temple, which is being built at the
corner of Peachtree and Cain streets,
Atlanta, was laid Wednesday" afternoon
at 4 o'clock, attended by hun- i
dreds of Blue Lodge Masons and
Knights Templar from all over Georgia
and the south.
Notwithstanding the threatening
aspect of the hovering clouds several
thousand men and women gathered
upon and about the raised platform to
witness the dedicatory exercises.
The scene was an impressive and inspiring
one. Grand Master Max Meyerhardt,
of the grand lodge of Georgia,
assisted Jay several other prominent
members of the order in the
state, conducted the dedication exercises,
the regular Masonic ritual for
such occasions being employed.
The stone was tested with the
compass and the square, and piaster

Atlanta's new Masonic temple will .
have, two cornerstones, a distinction j
enjoyed by very few such edifices

charter- granted the young j
colony in 1763 bore the signature of j

a high dignitary under the^ British j
crown in that period of England's his- j

These features of the Icwa past

with a' great degree of pleasure and j

CROOKED DEAL IN COAL

Because of certain reports connect- :
ing the name of Commissioner Thorn- |
as F. Stocks, who is also a coal i
dealer, with being interested in a pe- j

coal by the city, the Atlanta water !
board, it is said, has started an investigation

A little, grimy urchin with a soli- ,.3|

loudly that he had all the latest

CHANGE IN FOOD ' J
Works Wonders in Health.
It is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem .J8
it my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me of in- -*a|
digestion. - .
"I had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
ommended Grape-Nuts food to be
used every morning. I followed in- |
structions and now I am entirely welL :!|S

we use four packages a week. |3

The reason this lady was helped
by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that
it is predigested by natural processes iVv3
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using;
it also contains tflie elements required > Ja
for building up the nervous system.
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be /-$
no dyspepsia, for nervous energy rep- '-js
resents the steam that drives the engine.
When the nervous*system is run
down, the machinery of the body y.
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can ;3j
be used by small children as well as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and ;;
ready for instant use.
