TELLS OF FIGHT ON SHIP| Says He Found Himself in Her Stateroom After Drinking Chan'lplgne. By the Associated Pres: ¥ ATLANTA, Ga., August 17.—Admi- ration of fine horses 'which drew them together at Walter T. Candlgr's pri- vate race track on his estate near Atlanta, where his racerg performed charity or before guests in prepara- tion for the grand: circuit and other tracks, was one of the means of de- veloping the acquaintance between the Candler and Byfield families, it was said today by mutual acquaint- ances in commenting on charges that Mr. Candler had attempted to attack | Mrs. Clyde K. Byfield in her state- iroom aboard the steamship Beren- garia. Mrs. Bayfield's suit for $100,000, filed yesterday against the banker, men- {tioned the gatherings at the Chand- | ler track, and Clyde K. Byfield, in his written statement denying Mr. Cand- ler's charges that he had attempted to “extort” $35.000 from the banker as a result of the affair on the Ber- engaria, also told of having pur- chased & race horse from Mr. Candler and of taking part in the events at the Lullwater track. Visited Candler Home. Prior to the departure of Mrs. Candler for California shortly b fore the European trip, Mr. Byfield's statement said, he and his wife were frequent visitors at the Candler home, and in his business as an automobile dealer he was a customer of the Cen- tral Bank and Trust Corporation, of which Mr. Candler is vice president At a special charity race program in June both the banker and the auto- mobile agent took part in the races and the latter's twenty-one-year-old wife joined with other guests in don- ning ~waitresses' garbs and selling cold drinks to the spectators in or- der to swell the charity fund. Mrs. Byfield, who claimed in her damage Suit that she was so injured in the alleged attick on the night of July 16 in her stateroom that she was forced to undergo an operation last Monday, remained today at the home of her father, B. P. Gillespie, a city detective. Mr. Candler, who, it was indicated, might soon flle an answer to her charges. issued a de- nial that he had touched Mrs. Byfield or that anything of an improper na- ture occured. and also asserted thal “if she suffered any injuries on the trip it was from the terrific beating her husband gave her that night.” Mr. Byfleld had admitted that in his encounter with the bapker he also had struck his wife. Barring a possible counter petition by Mr. Candler. the next step awaited in the case today was the hearing. set for September 2. of Mr. Candler's suit to prevent Mr. Byfield from real- izing on a note exchanged for the $25.000 check given him after the! | affair aboara ship. | ! Woman in Seclusion. The clash between the men, which | Mr. Candler said followed his finding ! himself in Mrs. Byfleld's stateroom after partaking of champagne, took i place while the two families, Mr. Candler and his daughters. ~aged eleven and nine years, and Mr. and Mrs. Byfield were on a voyage to i France. Shortly after Mrs. Candler left the banker, according to Mrs, Byfield's suit. the two men decided upon the trip, and Mrs. Byfleld was { taken along. not only for her pleas- ure, but because Mr. Candler désired her to aid in caring for the two girls. Friends of Mrs. Candler, who fors merly was a stenographer in the Central Bank, refused to say to what place in California she had gone, but it was said she had taken her young son with her. The two children, who made the trip to Europe are daugh- ters of Mr. Candler's first wife. AMERICANS SEE POPE. !

CHICAGO, August 17.—A fish—mac- ropetalichthys by name—which died some 400,000,000 years ago of some unknbwn cause and sank to the bot- tom of the ocean near where Leroy, N. Y., now stands today, has exploded e paleontological theory! said the scientists at the Field Museum. Some 399,999,900 years after its death, in what is popularly called tie nineteenth century, the fossilized re- mains of the macropetaliclithys was dug up by an enterprising geologist. “A splendid specimen of Devonian fish!” admiring scientists exclaimed when the fossil was exhibited at the Chicago world fair in 1893. Last week the fossil was found in the showcase in which it had been rest- ing in stony somnorific content since the fair, by Dr. Erik Stensio, docent in paleontology _at the University of Upsal, near Stockholm, Sweden, who obtained permission to open the fos- sil with @ chisel, with a result that has =tartled the museum authorities as well as the noted Swedish scien- tist. 5 Former Theory Exploded. It was found that the brains, nerve canals and arterial canals as well as the intricate structure of the ear remained intact, preserved in stone, and giving a previously un- thought-of opportunity for studying the internal structure of a fish of the Devonian age. “Recent fossils,” sald Dr. H. W. Nichols of the museum, “often have their interior well preserved—that is, if they are not more than_ 50,000,000 or 100,000,000 years old. But never before, I believe, has a specimen_this old been found so well preserved in- ternally.” Kin to Modern Shark. “Even though I have made only pre- liminary study,” Dr. Stensio declared the ” A STORE FULL OF "=MUST BE ROOM FOR NEW FALL STYLES O DOWN GO PRICES FOR QUICK CLERR- SHOP PROMPTLY !

D200 yesterday, I haye made discoveries which will probably make great changes in our morphological view. This fish, for ‘instance, which was thought to be related to the lyng fishes, is rcally a close relative of’thé modern shark. “It also astonishes me to.learn that this specimen was well equipped with bony structure in the head. Previous- ly it was thought that the fishes of the Devonlan age possess only car- tillage. That, too, changes our ideas about the evolution of the bony struc- ture. The discovery of this specimen will probably give us a great deal of knowledge about other forms of life in the Devonian age.” ‘ Excl:orsion - Philadelphia Chester .
