THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19,

If Gov. Smith Declines Sec
ond Term Candler Is
Likely Successor.
Out of all the discussion of men and
measures In Georgia today looms a
strong figure.
Within the past few years no man
In public life in the state has grown
so on the people, has become such a
strong and dominating element In the
broader questions of the day. as Mur
phy Candler, of DeKnlb.
. His service for two years In the
senate and his wise Judgment and
splendid diplomacy in the lower house
this year has brought to the fore. , . . . . .
among observant men his wisdom and punishment does C htef Turner base hts
his strength. assertion that the stock In the proposed

Machine Would Be

Election.
Chief A. Q. Turner, of the county po
lice, has given some of his many friends
the tip to go In on the ground floor und
purchase stock In the “Amalgamated
Consolidated Automatic Self-Kicking
Trust," which may or may not be form-
1th a great capital to cater to the
wants of that large proportion of man
kind which so often Is affected with the
desire to "go out and kick Itself."
Upon a knowledge of human nature
and the various experiences of tho av-
ulwr age man’s life w*hlch often result In
fore I an overwhelming desire to Inflict self-
And the belief among people who know
him well and understand his capacity
and his serene strength are talking
more and more of higher things for him
In the public life of Georgia.
It is conceded that If Governor
Smith elects to stand for another term
In the governorship he will go back
unopposed. Custom has practically
fixed In Georgia the right of a man to
an unopposed second term, If he de
sires It. And there Is no doubt that
Governor Smith could have his second
term without a fight If he runs again.
Governor for 8onsto?
But the belief Is growing stronger
every day that the governor will seek
the United States senatorshlp next
year. He has confessed frankly It Is
the public service most agreeable to
Mm. and the forum In which his tastes
and capacity would find the most con
genial atmosphere.
That Governor Smith Is Imbued with
a sincere desire to perform for the
people of his state a great sendee ns
chief executive has been demonstrated
beyond cavil. If he thought his guiding
hand at the helm was needed for an
other term he would not hesitate to
sacrifice strong personal ambition. But
the larger part of the reforms advo
cated by Governor Smith have been
accomplished. That the others advo
cated win be accomplished next sum
mer Is conceded.
ft appears, therefore, that no com
pelling reasons stand In hie way for
stepping up.
And with Governor Smith In the
United States senate nn Impression Is
growing In Georgia that a man of the
breadth and wise conservatism of Mur
phy Candler should be In the govern
or's chair.
Would he make the race? Well, he Is
young, has ambition and a liking for
politics In the bigger sense, and It Is
no small honor to be chief executive
of Georgia. That he would not op
pose Governor Smith is practically
certain.
Candlsr Has Strength.
That he would enter the lists with
.Governor Smith out of the running,
his strongest friends believe. That he
would bring about him a solid follow
ing of many of the etrongeat men In
all parts of the state. Is conceded.
Mr. Candler is a reformer, but a
conservative, well-bn I a need one. He
Is not a fanatic on any subject. He
recognizes that every Individual has
Inherent rights that must be respected.
And. above nil, he would be a governor
over whose head no man or set of men
could pop the whip.
If Georgia should select Murphy
Candler to guide the ship of state,
Murphy Candler would attend to the
Job without direction or dictation from
any one.
Keep your eye on the man from De-
:he nickel’s worth.
"The best arrangement." said Chief
Turner. In speaking of the nrospcctlve
company, "will be to set the automatic
machines up In a booth on each corner.
If they were hard to get at the divi
dends wouldn't bo so large, as many
men would cool off n bit and change
their minds before they took the treat
ment.
"Putting them on the street comers
would, of course, necessitate a fran
chise from the city, and that would
make the company a hard-hearted cor
poration, but we wouldn’t mind nor
W'ould anyone else In such a position
when they thought of the great benefit
to humanity.
"The price, of course, had better be
regulated by the cost of maintenance,
the demand and other things, but I
believe In giving the poor man a show
and 5 cents would be reasonable, with
extra charges for # particularly severe
treatment.
"Many's the time when I would have
paid a dollar for a good sound kicking.
Of course 1 would get mad If anyone
else did It, and that Is Just the point—
nobody but a machine administers the
kicks.
The machine would get pretty good
patronage down here In the court house
and at the police station."

Congressman Says He Is
Undecided, But He
Keeps Mighty Busy.
A caucus was held In the Kimball
House Wednesday evening between
Congressman L. V. Livingston and some
of his supporters here. Nothing haa
come to light relative to Colonel Liv
ingston’s campaign for congress, and
the organization of his forces In Ful
ton, which were probably discussed
fully In the Kimball House conference.
While Colonel Livingston declined to
atate In an interview whether or not he
would be a candidate, no one doubts
for a minute that he will be actively
engaged In canvassing the district.
He spent Wednesday In Atlanta con
ferring with his friends, and Thursday
morning went down .to College Park to
"look around." He stated Wednesday
that he had not formally announced Ills
candidacy, but was feeling the pulse
of his constituency us to whether or
not they wanted him to make the race
^Colonel Livingston declared that he
had been In five counties so far, and
had found the sentiment almost unani
mous for him to run again. That he Is
now In the race and hard at work no
one seriously doubts.
Senator A. S. Clay was in Atlanta
also Wednesday, but declined to dis
cuss his probable candidacy for the
senatorial succession. But for some
weeks he has been busy visiting va
rious counties and shaking hands with
the folks. At several points he has
made speeches. Within the past forty-
one days Senator Clay has visited thir
ty-one counties, which pretty well Indi
cates that he U letting no grass grow

something to say to the public shortly.

SCIENTISTS MOST
New By-Law Is Issued by
the Head Church in
Boston.
New York, Sept. 19.—The World this
morning says:
As a result of rerent prosecutions
against members of the Christian 8cl-
ence church In cases where members
have died without regular physicians
having been called, the board of direc
tors of the mother church In Boston, In.
spired directly by Mrs. Eddy, have Is-
sued a new by-law.
The by-law la mandatory In charac
ter anil Is to bo binding on all adher
ents of the Christian Science church
throughout the world. It Is unnounced
In the following Isngunge:
'Article XX, Seetlon 8. Sudden Dis
ease: If a member of tho mother
church shall decease suddenly without
previous Injury or Illness and the cause
thereof be unknown, an autopsy shall
be made by qualified experts.”
Inquiry yesterday at the propaganda
of the Christian Science cult In this
city brought out that the new by-law
shall be read by the faithful with "In
telligence."
or Instance, while every devout
scientist understands perfectly that In
jury and Illness, as understood by the
world at large, are not Injuries or Ill
nesses at all, but "errors" and that no
scientist ever dies, but rather passes
on, and wholly through his Insistence

BIG OIL TRUST GOT
PLENTY OF DIVIDEND^
Continued from Page One,
For the loss of nn eye caused by tho
explosion of a little glass gauge on one
of the Southern railway’s big engines
J. O. Dodd, a hostler, has brought suit
for 120.000 In the superior court through
his attorneys, Berner, Smith & Hast
ings.
The accident was one of the most pe
culiar known to railroad men. The
gauge, which was for the purpose of
telling how much oil, there was In th*
tank, was nxed among the other
gauges In the engine cab. On May 10,
1907, Dodd states, he was running Ills
engine when from some unknown cause
the gauge exploded, throwing a quanti
ty of hot oil Into his left eye. Ho re
ceived medical treatment, but lost th.
sight of his eye completely.

NARROW ESCAPE
IN MOTOR BOAT
Itperlal to The Georgian.
Brunswick, Oa., Sept. 19.—J. M. Arm
strong and M. D. McKinnon, well
known young men of this city, came
near being swamped In a motor boat
while crossing St. Andrews sound.
With a heaving tea rolling, the en

HIGH OFFICIALS
TO BE ARRESTED
Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 19.—"Until
the present cases are disposed of, there
will be no proceedings against any
other men charged with complicity In
the capitol graft, but there will be nu
merous other arrests later.”
In these words Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Cunningham sums up the situation
in the campaign on the looters of the
state treasury.
Wednesday’s arrests were hastened
by necessity for action before prose
cution Was barred by the statute of
limitations.
It Is Intimated that a number of per.
sons high In the political world have
considerable to explan.
Attorney General Todd is still In

nected with the prosecutions.

uals have gone home, and nothing more

meets next week.
a portion of that year?"
Witness said he could not say, but
would be glad to look It up.
Then Mr, Kellogg took up the ques
tlon of the original trust agreement
placed on the record last night. The
Chess-Carley Company was what Mr.
Kellogg wanted first to know about. Mr.
Tilford said that concern was a party
to the original trust agreement.
The Standard owned 60 per cent and
F. D. Carley the remainder.
The Standard's stock, he thought,
stood In the name of some of the Indf
vldual stockholders.
Kept Up Orgsnizstlon.
Mr. Tilford then told of his connec
tlon with the oil business, which com
menced with the firm of Bostick & Til
ford In 1869. He later became connect
ed with the Standard CHI Company of
Ohio. He was the counsel to the ltqul
dating trustees.
Mr. Tilford admitted that the trustees
kept up their organisation from 1892
until 1899 because It held quite a num
her of unliquidated certificates and re
celved the dividends from tho twenty
corporations controlled by the original
trust. These were collected and In turn
paid to the shareholders. The Ohio
Standard Oil Company, however, at
that time, paying no dividends, witness
said, owing to legislation and litigation,
but of the organisation Mr. Tilford
could not remember much.
Mr. Kellogg asked about the w-ay the
officers and directors of the subsidiary
companies were elected during the
truatshlp.
They Voted 8toek.
Mr. Tilford said he thought the trus.
tees voted the stock until the liquids
tlon had commenced. After that he
was certain the Individual stockhold
era themselves elected them. He was
likewise very sure the trustees did not
vote any of the unliquidated stock still
held In their possession. Just how
the original transfer of stock was made
was what Mr. Kellogg next started
to find out about.
'Now, the trustees made the assign
ments 7”
"Yes."
Mr. Hllbum here interposed his In.
slstence that tils objection of last night
be noted on the record.
“Have you any record of that stock
as It was liquidated,” Mr. Kellogg
asked.
"I have not." replied Mr. Tilford
"Before the dissolution of the truV
which occurred In 1892, had the trus
tees turned over the stock of these
twenty companies?"
"I don't know about that."
John D. Got Shares.
John D. Rockefeller was assigned
2(8,864 shares out of a total of 972,-
600 trust certificates by a resolution
adopted by the trustees of the Stand
ard Oil trust In 1892; with the begin
ning of the liquidation proceedings, ac
cording to Treasurer Tilford.
The "blanket” arrangement of
signing the stock In the reorganised
company, the present Standard Oil
Company, of New Jersey, gave the
holder of each certificate a propor
tionate control In all the sub-compa
nies.
"And that stock could not be con
verted except on your order as the at
torney In fact?"
"That Is correct."
"Did any holder of stock ever sell
his shares In one company without
disposing of his Interests In the sub-
companies?"
’’Not that I know of."
•Can you give me the atfiount of
stock owned by Mr. John D. Rocke
feller at the time of the dissolution?".
"I don’t think so. I will look and see
If there Is any record In my olfice.”
Agreed to Get Record.
At the request of Attorney Kellogg,
the witness agreed to search the rec
ords for the amount of stock held by
Henry H. Rogers, William Rockefeller,
H. M. Flagler, Oliver H. Payne, Charles
M. Pratt, Stephen B. Harkness and
John D. Archbold In 1892. when, the
liquidation proceedings were begun,
and also (or the number of shares as
signed to them In the reorganized
Standard Oil Company, of New Jer
sey, In 1899.
“Who got up the scheme of that re
organization?”
"I don't know. It might have been
an nttorney. but I don’t know.”
"You were a trustee, an officer’ of
the company and prominent In the
company at that time?" added Kellogg,
Inquiringly.
"Oh. 1 wouldn’t say I was promi
nent.” ventured Treasurer Tilford,
modestly.
”1 ask you again, who got up thq
scheme of reorganisation?”
"I don’t know. Mr. Kellogg. All I
know Is that it worked out.”
"Is It not a fact that the Idea was to
give the trustees control of the sub-
