PRICE: Milk Dealers Will Crowd Out Middle- DECLARES JURY FREEOM JAIL Mrs. Holder and Her Father Released From Tower. GENERAL’S DAUGHTER SHARES HIS HONORS men. OLD MILK DEPOTS WON’T PAY PRICE But No Relief for Consumer Is Yet In Sight. Now that the dairymen have organ lreil Into a union, they propone to un Ionize the whole milk bua|neaa. At the meeting of the union Saturday night It nan decided to open up union depots for the aale of milk, and mem hers of the union will not be allowed to sell milk to any but theae. This action wa* precipitated "by the refusal of tha, proprletora of many of the milk depots in Atlanta to pay the increased wholesale price of the dairy men. It I" also stated that several of those who have refused to pay the In creased price to the producers have nevertheless rajsed their prices to con sumers. There are only a few who are now charging the same retail price as be fore the pure milk ordinance went into effect. The union now comprises about three-fifths df the dairymen of Fulton county, and If they agree not to furnish any milk to the depots who will not pay the Increased price. It Is more than likely they will win their point. Thousands Subscribed. Several thousand dollars were volun tarily subscribed Saturday night for the establishment of the first union milk depot In Atlanta, and others will be established, It is stated, as the ne cessity arises. These depots will be operated by the union. "The union has progressed nicely so far." stated President Kcl L. Wight •Monday morning, "and this attitude of some of the milk depot men Is the only obstacle that has come in our path. MaNWrimNtsico of production luur been great!/ Increased by the many pro- —visions, restrictions and regulations re. -lulrod by the new pure milk law. Wo had to make a smalt raise to overcome this, and as far os I know, the people understood tbs situation and raised no objection. "Hut If the milk depot men refuse to pay us an Increased price and yet charge more to consumers, the public loses and the dairymen lose also. It Is manifestly unfair, and the union has no way to combat with the situation but to establish her own milk depots and refuae to sell to the others. "We will have depots In all sections of the city and we will keep them go ing nfter their establishment.” Fifteen members were elected to the union Saturday night, one man coming all the way from Duluth to Join.

The trial Monday consumed the en tire morning. Mr. Holder employed At. torney H. W.

These claims are from members of the organization for benefits and they Involve a sum amounting to (250,000. The committee acts somewhat In the nature of a court of review and passes upon the validity of the claims made against the organization. The opening of the convention, which Is held every two years, will mean the expenditure of a large amount of money In Atlanta. There will be about 800 delegates present and many of these delegates bring their families. In ad dltlon to the money they spend for their expenses jnrhlle here, It was pointed out by one member of the claims committee Monday that nearly all come with well tilled purses, and he estimates that during the eleven days In which the convention will be In session 8175,000 will be spent here.

Washington, April 22,—Clerks who are showing uneasiness at the pros pects of having a negro official over them are asking for transfers from ths department over which he Is to pre side. These transfer* of dissatisfied clerks will not be made. Colonel Brown, now at the heed of the department, stated that of the clerk* In his "department about one- rhe"boy" hrid on "suspicion of being fourth of them are from the South, and M„rvm Jr. . most of them arc women. Atlanta Is on a building boom. The proof of It lies In the unprece dented activity In real estate circles during the past few months. Never In the history of Atlanta's marvelously rapid growth have more lots been bought and sold and more building of homes witnessed than has been the case during the past few weeks. Tho real estate offices are working overtime to supply the demand, and It appears that the notion of buying a home has struck every citizen of Atlanta who Is with out one In the same way and at the same time. The greater part of the Improvement Is being made In the suburbs. Lots are being bought and Improved and hand some and 'comfortable residences are being erected In almost every uvailnble section of the city's suburbs. Wood lands and vacant Helds are being trans formed Into desirable resident sections and tumble-down and unsightly shacks are being replaced by cottages and more pretentious dwellings. The phenonienal growth is not con fined to ivhat are, at present, known as the suburbs of the city, but new fields are being explored and the sound of the hammer and saw Is being heard In sec tions outside of the city, where the lone call of the whip-poor-will and the oc casional whirr of a partridge wing alone disturbed the silence. The unusual rush or business Is at tributed by the real estate men to the fact that lots are now being sold at a figure and upon such 'terms that a home is not a luxury for the rich man nlone. But the opportunity Is being given the laboring man, the man of small means, to Invest his savings In a house and lot and enjoy the privilege of living in It while he pays for it accord ing to his means. This fact. It is said. Is responsible for the distinction which Atlanta has won—the distinction ,of leading every city In the South In the amount of building permits Issued and In the amount of money expended by her citlxen* in the purchase and build ing of homes. The building boom Is not confined to any special section of the city or Its suburbs. It Is general. Ansley Park, Highland Park, College Park, Buckhcad and West End—In fact, from every point of the compass Atlanta and the surrounding territory Is building up and becoming thickly settled, until tho prophecy seems not amiss that In the space of a few years Fulton county Itself will have become incorporated into the city ot Atlanta.

LIVELY. During the three months from January 1 to April 1 of this year the totel amount of bond lesuee decided upon or sold In tho Southern state*, says the Manufecturers' Record, was (15,631,918. This Included some 85,000,000 of refunding bonds, so that about 810,500,000 of bonds nrc to be devoted to public Improvements, or (2.000.000 more than -luring the corresponding quarter of last year. Including Missouri, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, the total amount reported was (21,787,(57, but this addi tion Included only a small amount of refunding bonds, not enough to much affect the total of such securities, so that the entire amount to be expended In the whole section Is well up toward 817,000,000. As com pared with last year, the amount of refunding bonds among the Issu. * of new securities Is moderate, so that the proceeds of most of tho bond* will he expended for various public works, such as waterworks, seu - ers. electric lights, street paving, good roads, schools, court houses, city halls. Jails, drainage ditches, levees, etc., thus distributing large amounts of money, the circulation of which will be of extended advan tage to the various communities In which these improvements aro made. During the first quarter of the year there were also reported through the columns of this paper a number of proposed bond Issues and announce ments that elections will be tjpld for others, but In these calculation* no account has been taken of any securities which have not been fully de cided upon. Of the proposed Issues it Is practically asserted that nearly all of them will be approved by the people, and that the second quarter nf the year will see a large addition to the bonded Indebtedness of various Southern cities, counties and states for the public benefit. These Im provements are an assurance that there will be a large demand for both labor and material throughout this section.
