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.'" MBS. E. B. SMITH, Chairman. O. L. HARRISON. J. II. ARMSTRONG. Press Committee. 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. CENTRAL’S SUIT TO BE TAKEN UP Petition in Bankruptcy. Fred L.

Milledgevllle, Ga., Sept. 4.—Oscar Whllden. of this place, one of the best known prep school athletes In the state, has accepted a position In the United States marine hospital service in Now Orleans, and leave* for that city today. The hearing before Standing Master Bell, In the federal court, of the freight rate ease of the Central of Georgia road against tho state railroad commission will be continued on Oc tober 10. The railroad commission ap plied to Judge Newman for an expert to be, appointed, but the Central ob. Jerted to this, nnd It was not done. It Is probable that one or two experts from Washington will come to Atlanta on that date nnd act ns expert wit nesses for the state In the hearing. It la claimed by the road that It costs more to handle Intrastate business than It does Interstate business, and consid erable depends on the settlement of this question.

It hna been the policy of the achool to SECRETARY OF NAVY DEFIEDJMIDDIES Youths Recommended For Dismissal Refuse to An swer Questions. 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.

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 lu the Finery Steiner building la now In charge of t'hlef Machinist II. )’.

II* -•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.
