great railroad power through a legal
coup of Stuyvesant Fish, reached Chi

A Democratic Show.
It Is the purpose of the manage
ment of the. association to make the
horse show a .very democratic affair,
and to eliminate any feature that
•macks of the exclusiveness of “high
society.” Those Interested in the show
have been of one mind, and that was to
make the show a horse show and not a
clothes show. >
"The men who are behind the show
are Interested In horses, not clothes.
Just at this time,” said a prominent
director of ' the association Tuesday,
'and although a man may wear a
dress suit—it Jio has one—he may feel
at liberty to go. without one If be so
deelras.”
The ring In which the riding will
take place has been put In condition
for the first night's performance, and
was closed Tuesday morning until the
show opens at I o'clock Tuesday night.
Manager Ryley was at the Coliseum
Tuesday completing the final arrange
ments, and a number of those who
have entries In the show spent a por
tion of the day exercising their mounts
and taking the final lessons In han
dling them.
During the first performance Tues
day night nearly one hundred and fifty
horses will be seen In the ring, con
sisting of harness horses, saddle horses,
rohdstera and ponies In harness.
While a number of the entries :e»ve
been brought from other stales, the
vast majority of the 369 that will be
seen are local, and the people of Allan,
la will have opportunity to realise
something many of them have never
realised before—that Atlanta can boast
of beautiful horaes of finest breed, ths
peer of any In the land.

NEGRO BISHOPS OPPOSED

The committee's majority report bearing on negro bishops In the
Episcopal convention was as follows: .....
"The Angle-Saxon race has earned the right, through years of toll, to
be leaders of the church. We don't want dioceses run on rectal lines. We
recommend auxiliary Episcopal ministration and that the constitution be
amended so suffragan bishops can be sleeted In dioceses without rights of
succession but with a seat, though not a vote, In the house of bishops."

Judge Hicks, of Arkansas, said: “In

OPERATORS STfOK;
SITUATION SAME
The local situation among the strik
ing telegraph operators In Atlanta Is
practically unohanged. An enthusiastic
meeting, which was well attended, was
held Monday night at their hall on the
viaduct, at- which feeling and warm
speeches were made by many of the
members of their organization.
Secretary Pinson said:
"The situation both here and else
where shows material Inorease In the
number of men that are out on strike.
It is true that a scattered few have
gone back, but this Is mure than made
up by those who have become disgust
ed and come out. The operators have
made up their minds to remain away
Indefinitely unless their grievances are
recognised and a Just and honorable
settlement made.
"The major company yesterday seem,
ed Jubilant In malting public the an
nouncement that It had a printing tele
graph machine which would ‘cover a
multitude of sine'—that Is, the lack of
several operators. The fact Is that this
machine has been In use for several
years and has proven a failure. Almost
from the time of the Invention of the
telegraph automatic telegraph ma
chines have been Invented and experi
mented with, but a practical one has
Rowland machine," Secretary
Pinson continued, "Is even less prac
tical than the Barclay machine.”
In conclusion the secretary said If
the machine had been practical, they
would have been put Into general use
long ago.
"Advlcea from everywhere tndleate
that the men have voted unanimously
to continue the strike until an honor
able adjustment Is reached," he said.
The following telegram was received
Monday morning from Percy Thomaa,
acting president, at New York:
“New York decided enthusiastically
never to surrender. Locale all voted
enthusiastically to stick until victory
Is achieved.”
On* Striker Returns.
“One striker has already gone back
to work and we have applications from
several more," said General Superin
tendent J. Levin, of the Western Union.
"Those who are of good character
and competent and who wish to return
will have their applications respectfully
considered," continued Mr. Levin. "It
w* have places for them they will get
good treatment and nothing wtll be held
against them. I would not do thnt, and
I will not permit any afllclal under me
to treat them otherwise.
“But not a single operator who hoe
stood by us In this affair will be dis
charged to make room for a striker.
They have stood by us and we will
stand by them. The strikers who wish
lo return will have to wait their turn
and be considered as Individuals.”
Postal's Attitude.
“The Postal will take beck euch
strikers of ability and good character as
there are places for. or as vacancies
occur, but they will have to wait their
turn."
This Is the attitude of the Postal as
summed up by Genei-al Superintendent
G. E. Paine, of the Southern division.
And, according to Manager Alfred M.
Beatty, of the Atlanta office, there are
no vacancies at present.
