The striking commercial telegraphers
will hold an open meeting In Teleg
raphers' hall, Wednesday night, at
which the chief feature will be an ad
dress by Jerome Jones.. The strikers
continue to hold dally meetings and
are still optimistic as to the situation.
They deny moat emphatically that any
of their number are returning to work
and say they are receiving the most
encouraging reports from all over the
country.
The following signed statement was
given out "for publication, Wednesday,
by the press committee of the strikers:
"We are In receipt of Information to
the effect that the telegraph companies
and the Associated Press,will make
extraordinary efforts, beginning this
week, to break our ranks by every
means known to the profession, strike
breaking agencies, bribery, Intimida
tion, cajolery, threats, etc. We are
especially warned ugalnst company
agents working to create dissatisfac
tion, attempta at stampede, etc. Their
efforts In this direction will cause no
'consternation' In our ranks. It is a
clumsy ruse Intended »o cause a break
In our solid ranks, nnd It Is given
widespread publication for that pur
pose. We fought hard to prevent a
strike, covering a period of months, all
efforts falling: we struck as a last re
sort, and now rumors have no effect
upon us, nnd nothing now can shake
our determination.
"Our united front has challenged the
admiration of the entire Inbor move
ment, and created 'consternation'
the camp of our employers. They are
beginning to worry about their storks
and bonds, and they are asking them
selves:
" 'How long nre these operators going
to stick? Our storks and bonds can
not work. We must get these operators
book.'"

The press committee also announces
that several prominent speakers have
been bonked for the week to make
speeches at the dally meetings.
KEEPS BROTHER
IN COLD STORAGE
Wanted to Share Fate
of Joan of
Arc.
Ottawa, Opt.. Sept. 4.—Imagining
that the Lord had commanded her to
share the fate of Joan of Are, Mrs.
Joseph la Londe, of St. Lazare,
small French Canadian village near
Vaudreull, burned herself to death,
Sunday, on a funeral pyre of her own
making.
While her relatives were at mass she
built n pyre from fence logs and tree
branches, undressed herself entirely,
and climbed on the pile, to which she
set fire.
People coming out of the church sow
the smoke nnd the woman's clothes
hanging on the branches of a nedrby
tree. Her body, partly consumed, had
fallen from the pyre. Sho left letters
explained why she committed the ter.
rlble deed.
"You're charged with being drunk
on the street," said Dr. Baskin, acting
recorder, to J. J. Venable, Wednesday
morning.
“I reckon that's right, your honor;'
said the defendant.
"I know It's right, Judge,” said an
other man, stepping up. "He's my
brother, and I want you to keep him
locked up for me for a couple of days.
I've got a big painting contract
hand and here he goes off and gets
drunk when I need him. Put him back
In a cell, nnd I'll call around and get
him In a few days."
"Well. I think that would be a good
plan,” said the councilman, and the de.
fondant .was given a station house sen
tence of five days.

Washington, Sept. 4.—Although It
has Deen nearly two weeks since Cap
tain C. W. Barger, superintendent of
the naval academy nt Annapolis, rec
ommended to the navy department the
dismissal of four midshipmen from th*
academy on charge of "frenchlng”
(absence without leave), no action ha*
yet been taken. Each of the four ha*
been called upon by Acting Secretary
Newberry to make out a written answer
to the charges of the superintendent,
which will be submitted to the secreta
ry of the navy. None has yet com
plied with this requirement.
The four midshipmen are Joseph El
iot Austin, of New York, first class;
George Frederick Humbert, of Penn
sylvania, third class; Oscar C. Salb, of
Indiana, and C. C. Rlner, of Wyoming,
fourth clnhs men.
Humbert. It Is claimed, arranged for
a substitute to answer at roll call for
him while he remained ashore over
night. While the exact nature of Aus
tin's offense Is not known. It pertains
to his remaining stray from ship over
night.
It Is alleged that Salb and Biner had
become so greatly Interested In chorus
girls In Annnpoll* that they not only
overstayed their leave on one occa
sion, but took French leave one night,
falling to show up until late In tho
morning.

Central of Georgia
Committee Meets
on Thursday.
New York, Sept. 4.—The Central of
Georgia bondholders were not surprised
at the annual report of the officers of
the road, Just Issued, which, on Its
face, upholds the-action of the direc
tors In passing the dividend entirely on
the third-class of Income bonds and
paying only a part of It on the second-
c|pss.
The Income account shows a surplus
of only 838 after' the payment of In
terest. The bondholder* will not be de
terred by the report from taking ac
tion to compel the payment of the 5
per cent Interest on all divers classes
of the Income bonds. The committee
of bondholders meets tomorrow to per.
feet plans to bring about this result.
They say the poor financial showing
of the road Is due to bookkeeping
rather than lack of earnings.
President Hanson- in his report says: !
"The financial results from the oper- i
atlon of the property have not been as
large as in recent years. This Is due i
to a large Increase In wages and the
advancement In price of every material
necessary to the operation of the prop- |
erty. In addition to this, because of
Inferior coal and Inadequate motive 1
power, there was congestion at all Im- i
pnrtnnt points on the system, which 1
mode the cost of operation consider*- .
bly higher."

ATLANTANS ENLIST
FOR NAVY SERVICE
Uncle Sam's ngry recruiting office here

and th* work of getting recruits to uinu the

Is enthusiastic In bis talk about the navy

-•vs there Is every opportunity In the navy
for ndraueement nml Hint men of ability
are rewarded.
81m— the office has been established there
hna lieen an average of alarnt fifteen men n
week, according to offieals of the Seaboard
Air Line, sent over that road from Atlanta
to the Norfolk navy yard, i
According to a report of the presid
ing officer of the Letter Carriers' As
sociation, In session at Canton, Ohio,
the gain In membership of the organi
sation In ths past two yeara ha* been
4,231.
That ths nrbltrated valuation of the
Atlantic Coaat Line, fixed by the um
pire, Judge A. L. Miller, and agreed to
by the arbitrator of the road, Judge
S. B. Adams, of Savannah, will form a
basis for the state to contend for the
reasonableness of the new passenger
rate of 2 1-4 cents, seems assured.
Since other arbitrations of Important
lines affected by this passenger re
duction arc yet to be made. It seems
more than probable that such arbitra
tions will form the ground work for
the fight to be made by the state to
maintain the new rates.
In the arbitration of the Atlantia
Coaat Line, Judge Miller made a re
port of 316,571,000, which was agreed
to by Judge Adorns os the representa
tive of the rood. This valuation cannot
be disputed In court, as It U the sworn
return now 'of the rood. If It can be
shown that the Coast Line can earn a
reasonable dividend upo» this valua
tion under the reduced passenger
rates, then the state will have no
ouble supporting Its cdntentlou.
Under the Alexander law the repre- .
sentatlve* of railroad* awear to the ,
value of property before a board of ar
bitration, and there can be no dlsput- |
Ing thlsv’appralsement. It Is belleveH,
that this will aid the state materially'
In establishing contentions for reduood i
rates In the courts.
HOW ABOUT THIS,
YE NATURE FAKERS?,
Detroit, Mich., Bept. 4.—A cat saved
It* life by calling for help with a tele-!
graph key from a branch office of the
Western Union Company her*. Th* i
cat was the pet of the crew of a branch
office and when the itrlke waa called
the office wo* closed and locked up,
tabby being forgotten. Last night dur
ing a temporary lull, the chief operator
at the main office noticed an erratlo
call from that branch over the wire
which he supposed was "dead.”
The dots and dashes were unintelli
gible, but he knew the office had been,
locked up and supposed a thief had
broken In and was meddling with the
keys, wo he notified the police. When a
policemen got Inside he found the of
fice cat upon the table starved to a
skeleton, working one of the keys with
