STEEL /RUSi IS CHARGED
. WITH MANY R. R. WRECKS
Xe« York, May 23.—That the Steel
trust ts deliberately making rails of
Inferior quality and Is thereby reapon-
,|ble for the Increase In railroad acci
dents Is the charge brought by the
Scientific American Ind other technical
publications. The Scientific American
explains the trust has been using a
lower grade of ores high In phosphorus
and making steel too brittle..
The railway Gasette eums up and
says the trust “knowingly makes rails
which break and kill people.".
The Iron Age, In speaking for the
manufacturers, claim the breaks are
caused by higher speed ami greater
weights, but figures upsetting this
claim are published showing that 80-
pound rails, made five or ten years ago,
are giving better service now than new
100-pound rails.

Schwab, when Invthe city last Monday,

President Alva C. Dinkey, of the Car
negie Steel Company, Mr. Dinkey said
tmphntlcnlly: "1 do not think there
will be any new president of the steel

"GOLDIE” NEIL.
This Is a picture of the pretty
artist's model Who pleaded guilty
In Connecticut to killing her hus
band by stabbing him In the eye
with a nail file. She, was sentenced
to the penitentiary.
New York. May 33.—"Goldie" Nell,
the pretty New York artiste' model and
actress, self-confessed slayer of her
husband, Joseph Nell, was taken from
the county jail at Bridgeport to the
Connecticut state prison, Wethersfield,
today to begin her Indeterminate sen
tence of from five Jo nine year* Im
prlsonment.
A plea of guilty of manslaughter
brought her trial before Justice Wheel
er In the superior court at Bridgeport
to an abrupt end and possibly saved
the young woman from more severe
punishment, as she was under Indict
ment for murder In the first degree.
The state's attorney announced hie
willingness to accept a plea of guilty
In the minor degree of homicide, and
the woman's lawyer quickly took ad
vantage of the opportunity to save her.
Goldie Nell's lips trembled and her
voice was scarcely audible as she stood
up before Justice Wheeler and con
fessed her guilt. Hardly had the words
passed her lips when her quivering
limbs failed her and she sank uncon
scious to the floor of the court room.
The state's attorney accepted the
statement of the defense as to the man
ner In which “Goldie” Nell killed her
husband.
‘Ooldle" Nell told how she had
tried to push her husband away from
her with an umbrella, and In defend
ing herself, and the point entered his
brain.
Justice Wheeler evidently did not be-
lieve this version of the story, although
the prosecution accepted It as true and
agreed to a plea of guilty of man
slaughter.
In passing sentence. Justice Wheeler

PRESBYTERIANS INDORSE
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
By REV. GEORGE MACK.
Columbus, Ohio, May 23.—After one
of the most spirited of debates, lasting
over two hours, the Presbyterian as
sembly came to a decision on the tem
perance question.
The last assembly declined to offi
cially recognise the Anti-Saloon
I>ague, on the ground that as It .went
Into polities the church should not
commit Itself to political action. The
assembly's permanent committee on
temperance had, during the year, led In
organising the Interchurch Temper
ance Council and In Pennsylvania this
had opposed the Anti-Saloon League.
The league has too many friends In
the Presbyterian church, and Its effi
ciency Is too. great, to be thus dealt
with. It was evident that this assem
bly must untie the knot.
Since saloon men charged that the
Presbyterian church had rejected the
Anti-Saloon League and Its work, the
assembly yesterday gave It a vote of
confidence. It did not commit Itself to
the league, but promised co-operation
“consistent with Its constitution." That
means that as a church It can r.ot co.
operate In political movements, but
that as Individuals the league has the
support of all Presbyterians.
On the other hand, the assembly In
structed Its permanent committee not
to Interfere, either directly or through
the Interchurch Council In political
movements, as In Pennsylvania. Its
work must be educational.
A most enthusiastic report on home
missions was read by Dr. Elmore, of
Chattanooga, and adopted. It calls for
$1,160,000 for this year. Its epeclal
feature* are work In the Southwest.
Cuba, Alaska, among Immigrants; In
svangellstlc work and In the bureau
of labor and the church.
The committee on help for the San
Francisco churches were empowered to
raise $135,000 more tor the work In that
stricken city.
PRETTY HOUSE MAID’S"RAT’
HELD $2,545 STOLEN GEMS
New York. May 23.—When Annie
Coopersteln, a maid employed In the
home of Theodore Simon, a manufac
turer, was arrested last night on sus
picion of having stolen $2,545 worth of
Jeweliy, she looked the personification
of Innocence. The matron at the police
station noticed, however, that there
was an unusual bulge to, the girl's
front hair, and decided to Investigate.
Cleverly concealed In the "rat" under
pretty Annie's blond locks was found
tile missing property. The matron
pulled out, one after the other, a dia
mond sunburst worth $1,000, a diamond
neck chain, three diamond rinse, a
band ring and a lady's gold watch.
FORTUNE OF$350,000,000
FOR 400 AMERICAN HEIRS
Oil City, Pa., May 2$.—Mr». James
H. Downing and her two brothers. Her
mann and Charles Hyde, have been
legally notified they are Joint helra to
an estate of $350,000,000, held In the
chancery court of England. The for
tune has been held by England for 340
rears, and an Investigation of the va
lidity of the claims hae been going on
for fifteen years. There ere 400 heir*
In America. William Hyde, founder of
the fortune, was compelled to flee from
England for political reasons, and tha
estate was taken In charge by the
chancery court.
"OPEN SHOPS" INDORSED
BY NATL MANUFACTURERS
New York, May 3$.—The National
Association of Manufacturers of the
United States voted yesterday In fa
vor of a revision of the tariff at the
earliest opportunity, and tha negotia
tion of more reciprocal treaties.
A lively debate preceded the vote,
upon the acceptance of' the report of
the committee on tariff and reciprocity.
The committee based Its raoommenda-
tlons on a poll of the 3,000 members of
the association. Of the total number
replying, 65 per cent declared for Im
mediate revision, while 20 per cent ex
pressed a “Hands oft" sentiment. Eight
per cent believed that the time for re
vision had not arrived and the other
17 per cent expressed Indifference or
made non-committal answer*.
The effort to table the report was de
feated and It was adopted a* reported.
The mass of resolutions adopted by
the association on this, the closing day
of Its convention, Included Indorsement
of the open shop and Industrial educa
tion.
The association re-elected James W.
Van Cleave, of St. Louis, president, and
K. H. Stillman, of New York, treasurer.
S he convention closed last night with a
inquet.
Charles W. Prouty, member of the
Interstate commerce commission, ad
dressing the association, said the gov
ernment should exercise some direct
control over the capital accounts of the
railroads, and that It Is probable Inter
state railways should be valued by the
government.
He nald:
"Government regulation Is Itself on
trial. Regulation must be sufficiently
strong to choke the cry for national
operation. I am not asking Wist addi
tional powers be conferred upon the In
terstate commerce commission. We
must create a department of railways,
which ehoutd be charged with that part
of the railway regulation which I
properly administrative and executive.

FIND NO TRACE
OF P. O. ROBBERS
Special to The Georgian.
Chattanooga. Tenn., May 23.—Post-
office Inspectors seem powerless to cope
with the postoffice robbers who have
been operating all around Chattanooga
during the last six months. Although
eight pdstofflees have been robbed In
the boldest manner, neither the govern
ment nor county officers have been able
to get on the trail of the robber*. Tbst
the robberies have been committed by
one gang Is practically certain as the
same methods are used every time. The
latest work of the gang was done Tues
day night when ttv postofflee at South
Pittsburg was robbed of money and
Stamp* to the value of several hundred
dollars.

WHITE ORGANIZER
CHARGED $25 PER
HEAD F| SOCIETY
Cut Down His Prices, But
Failed to Catch Pitts
burg Negroes.
A new departure In tha "fleecing”
game came to light Thursday morning
whan Chief Turner, of th* county po
lice, received Information that a white
man, whose name and whereabouts are
yet unknown. Is circulating among the
lass aducatad negroes of Atlanta seek
ing to organise them Into a "society”
for the purpose of "battering their con
dition.”
The only requisite to membership in
this organisation la the payment of tha
paltry sum of $36.
It te sold.that th* stranger has been
visiting many negroes In Atlanta and
has sought to Induce them to become
members of his "society" by telling
them that when they organize they will
then be In position to strike for high
er wages and can command their own
price for labor.
It Is also said that this Mooes who
has com* out of th* whit* race'to the
"assistance" of th* negroes has sought
to Incite them to rioting, and haa at
tempted to secure from them the mem
bership fee more readily by bolding out
promisee of revolt against the whit*
nee, which "can be don* more suc
cessfully when they are organised."
Had the benevolent Individual begun
his operations on a smaller scats and
charged a more moderate fee for Initia
tion Into hla "order" he might have
been able to fleece a few of tbs unsus
pecting negroes of a few hundred do|-
are and then made his exit But In this
way he unsuspectingly laid the trap for
hi* own undoing.
The stranger held a meeting In Pitts
burg last Sunday at which time he un
folded hla plans and made known hi*
’price."
The fee of $25 staggered and appalled
th* comprehension of the negroes who
were approached, and consequently
there was nothing doing.
Finding that hla plana were about to
fail, the stranger began to scale down
the price until he had reached the limit
of a quarter. At this point the humor
of the situation appealed to one of the
negroes present at the meeting and he
laughed.
The would-be lead#r became enraged
when he found that he wes being
mocked by the perils for whom he was
laboring and the meeting wee broken
up by the attempt of tha leader to
break the head of the negro who
laughed. \
It Is said the stranger wear* a leath
er collar and Is tall and slim. Tha
county police are moat anxious to mak*
his acquaintance and are going out of
their way to bring about a meeting.
