New York, Oct. 24.—Millions were
poured Into the stock market at the
opening today and everything offered
was purchased In the Interest of a
combination of bankers that has un
dertaken to stop the panic.
Liquidation was on a very exten
she scale but the ready market for
securities found excitement somewhat
alloyed and the selling proceeded In a
very orderly ntanner. There was no
demand' whatever on the port of the
public; and dealings were entirely of a
manipulative character.
Th. result of the operations of the
first half hour of trading was to leave
the market practically unchanged
from the closing prices of yesterday.

Chicago, Oct. 24.—The sensation of
the convention of the Civic Federa
tion trust conference here was fur
nished by the reading of a letter from
Auguet Belmont. In declining the In
vitation to attend the meeting, he
placed the blame for the precarious
condition of financial Institutions on
President Roosevelt, and denies that
anybody should be punished for the
accumulation of wealth. ,
He said:
"The president. In his last message
called for the amendment of the Sher
man act and the agitation has wrought
antagonism and an array of the people
against the corporations. The patient
staggers under the supervision of the
doctors." .. ,
Frank B. Kellogg. In reply, said that
the trust evils of today were due to
the "grasping cupidity of certain hu
man beings."
He declared that If the present con
dition continued It was but a short
step to landlordism and the reduction
of the people to a state of serfdom.
One of the most memorable addresses
of the convention was made by Samuel
Gompers. He sold:
Good and Bad Trusts.

Citizens Ask Why
Work Has Been
Stopped.
EXTENSION WAS •
DISCONTINUED
Ask Injunction to Stop Tak
ing Down of Trolley
Wires.
(Continued on page two.)
When a street car company secures s
franchise to operate on certain streets,
must the company operate cars on all
of these streets or can It operate on
Just as many ss It pleases?
This Is the Interacting point that has
been raised by the filing of a suit for
Injunction by a number of the property
holders In Capitol avenue nnd Hay-
good avenue and near tho Intersection
of the two. filed In Judge Ellis' court
several days ago and set for trial next
Saturday.
In addition to the suit* for th- re
straining order preventing the compa
ny from removing Its overhead trolley
wires from Capitol avenue between
Ormond and Bass streets, the rult 1*
for s mandamus to force the company
to complete the Capitol avenue line to
Haygood avenue.
About six weeks ago tho Georgia
Railway and Electric Company secured
from council a permit to extend Its
street car lines on Capitol avenue from
Bass street to Haygood avenue, n dis
tance of a little more than four blocks.
This was on petition of the company.
Tho company began work Immediate
ly ami soon had all the overhead trol
ley wires Installed all the way from
Buss street to Haygood avenue. In ad
dition, the streets lwtil been dug up
preparatory to laying tho tracks.
Stopped Work Suddenly.
For some reason the Company evi
dently changed Its plans, for the flitch
on Capitol nvenue between Ormond
street nnd Haygood avenue, n distance
of 610 feet, was refilled and work hero
was abandoned.
The property holders between Or
mond and Hnygood nnd a little farther
down were Immediately up In arms.
They had anticipated and had been
led to expect a street car line. On*
Atlantan had gone so far. It Is s.ild,
as to build a magnificent home near the
Intersection of Capitol avenue snd
Haygood avenue, on the strength "f
the announcement that Che company
was going to extend Its car line be
yond there.
A number of these property holders
appeared before the street car officials
and cited their grievances, nnd ware
Informed, It Is until, that the company
had abandoned Its plan to construct the
line to Haygood avenue.
Injunction is Asksd.
I Hon. James L. Key was’ employed a s
attorney and he Immediately filed the
petition for Injunction and mandamus
to force the company to build to this
point. It being his contention that where
a company secured a franchise to oper
ate on a certain number of streets and
with a specified route. It had to use ull
these streets or none, and that It hnd to
bear the burdens as well as reap the
benefits of this franchise.
Judge Ellis granted a temporary re
straining order, snd. as a result, the
company ha* been unable to remove Its
overhead trolley wire*. The case la set
for hearing next Saturday, but It la
stated that Judge Elllq will be out of
the city on that day and the hearing
will therefore be postponed.
The following are the names of the
property holders who filed the suit
through Attorney Key: C. E. Pierson,
E. W. Dease. R. C. Clark, W. H. O'Rear,
D. A. Stephens. J. E. Briggs. B. M.
Sevier, J. M. Hall. J. T. Bortrell nnd the
South Side Baptist church.
To Make Protest.
Aldermen Holland and McEschern,
Councilman Huddleston. Mangum and
the other members of the councilmanlc
delegation from ">e Second snd Third
ward* will appear before the street cut
officials to urge the case of these prop
erty holder* Friday.
Councilman Huddleston I* chalrnmn
of the committee on municipal anil
other railways which reported favora
bly on the petition for the franchise
• I do not know about the legal pha«e
of this question.” stated the council
man, "but certainly It appears to me
that the company Is morally bound Ic
build It* line to Haygood avenue. I
would not he surprised If the law doee
not so require, too.”
Attorney Key I* even more positive In
his statements concerning the matter
"As a matter of law," he said. "I be
lieve they must complete the Capitol
avenue line to Haygood avenue. As .<
matter of good faith, I know It should
be done.”
Official’* Statement.
An official of the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company gave an explana

it was stated that the line war helm
