Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 10.—Mrs, Onez- ima De Bouchel, of New Orleans, whose engagement to marry Asa G. Candler, Sr.,, Atlanta capitalist, was announced some weeks ago, made public here today a statement as- serting that Dr. Candler broke the engagement because of a report brought to him reflecting upon her character. Mrs. De Bouchel sald Mr. Candler had refused and. still was refusing to furnish the names of the persons he said accused her. She {ssued her statement after a final conference be- tween her and Mr. Candler today. Mrs. De Bauchel came to Atlanta last night after calling Mr. Candler over the long distance telephone. On reaching Atlanta she sald she notified Mr. Candler and he and his son, Asa G. Candler, Jr, came to her hotel and the three were in conferenc nearly two hours. Protested His Love, “Mr. Candler was very much broken up,” Mrs. De Bouchel said. *“I felt sorry for him. He told me he still loved me and wanted to marry me and that he did not belleve this hideous slander which has been taken to him and yet he refused to give me the name of the man or men who accused me. “I cannot understand his attitude. He told me he was weeping and un- happy and did not care whether he lived or died. He said he would pre- fer for me to go home and wait a while and announce the breaking of the engagement and give as my rea- son anything detrimental to his char- acter that 1 might see fit. ““His Character O. K. “Ot ¢ourse I would riot do such’a thing, for I know nothing against his character although I insist he owes it to me to give me the names of those who accuse me."” Mrs. De Bouchel said she had sum- moned a lawyer from New Orleans. The charges against her, Mrs. De Bouchel said, had to do with alleged conversations she had with two men during a Confederate reunion in At- lanta three or four years ago. All Ready to Wed. “Mr. Candler and I were to have been married on September 20,” her statement said. ‘“All arrangements were made—clergyman engaged and cards of announcement printed. “On September 15 he wrote me that it would not be fair to marry me and bring me here where I would be slighted on account of reports circu- lated here against me. “These reports, according to him, were that during a Confederate re- union in Atlanta three or four years ago when I had the supreme honor of being chaperon general and when 1 was attended every moment, I had solicited two men to visit me at the hotel at night. “These reports had been brought to him, he said, from ‘sources he was bound to belleve’ just before he was to take the train for our wedding. They would, he said, follow me wher- ever I might go. I would never be able to hold my head up again. “This hideous slander and Mr. Candler's reception of it and his say- ing my future is ruined have broken my heart, but my will is not broken (Continued on Thirteenth Page) ROSSBERG WON'T RUN, MRS.

Hartford, Oct. 10.—Except for the cities of New Haven, Rockville and Danbury and a few small towns the state fuel administration has com- pleted its appointments of local ad- ministrators to assume charge of an- thracite distribution and control. Local Men to Act. The state administration will imme- diately put its policy of decentraliza- tion of control into effect, delegating authority to the local fuel heads to fix prices for their respective com- munities with the approval of the state administrator, and to Impose whatever restrictions seem advisable for fair and adequate distribution of anthracite. The local administrators may also use their judgment whether the present restrictions imposed by the state authorities upon distribution seem necessary and may ask State Administrator Russell that they be abrogated in that particular com- munity. Price Fairly Stable. Mr. Russell, however, believes that for the present prices will remain at the price he set a week ago, $16 per ton, over the price asked a year ago —and also that the restrictions upon the deliveries of anthracite to con- sumers are still necessary in order that the supply of coal distributing into the state may be spread as thin- ly as possible.

In the fighting which followed within the Jall walls two of the participants were killed, one a guard and the other a prisoner, while five guards and a number of prisoners were wounded. The outbreak was subdued after a quarter hour's struggle. Revolt Is Surprise The military guard in the prison was taken by surprise. The trouble began near the mess room at break- fast time, when a prisoner shot one of the guards dead. Other prisoners occupying sheltered positions blazed away with suddenly produced wea- pons at the jail guardians. Sorge of the guards were ordered to leave the jail and prevent any at- tack that might be attempted from the outside while the others engaged the mutineers, and aftr an encounter during which the guards outside fired into the prison the jail forces control- led the situation. Some May Not Live Some of the wounded are not ex- pected to recover. The attack apparently was planned from the outside. Arms @nd am- munition were smuggled into the pris- on and the telephone wires were cut. An attack on three military tend- ers outside the jall closely followed | the fighting inside the prison.
