As a rule "waterproof” and "leather-

But Boyden never produced anything
that lacked style.
This "Boston” has proven one of the pop

The double waterproof sole and kid lin

Liberty was short Tuesday for James
Lang, alias "Black Billy.” claimed by
the Pinkertons to be one of the moet

lie wan released from the custody of
the United States, after doing a
of four and one-half years In the Fed
eral pen, but. as ho stepped from' the
office of Clerk Fuller In the Federal
building, he was arrested on a war
rant Issued la North Carolina. Now
he 1* jdurneylng back to that state on
the Southern railway In charge of
Sheriff J. L. Shock of Davie county.
Lang's term expired Tuesday and he
wua released from iho United Statee
prison. He was brought to the post'
©nice building by Deputy Marshal Mark
Scott and before Clerk Fuller he took
an oath that he was unable to pay a
fine of 3500 assessed against him.
You’re discharged." said Clerk Ful
ler. and Sheriff Sheek. from Mocks-
vlllo. Davie county. North Carolina, gpt
ready. Accompanying him were Dep
uty Sheriffs Shropshire and Chastain,
of Atlanta, and the former was armed
Ith extradition papers Issued by Gov.
ernor Smith.
A Desperate Charaeter.
‘Black Billy” has been given a dea
ls rate charaeter by the Pinkertons, and
Is down In the records as a dangerous
man. For tills reason Sheriff Sheek, of
North Carolina, was taking no chances.
Hut there was no cause for any ap
prehension. "Black Billy” knew when
H- was released from prison that bis
liberty would be short. He had learned
that hlx pals had gone back to North
Carolina before him. and be knew that
an offleer from that state would be
walling for him.
After Clerk Fuller bail discharged
him he opened a package or letters that
had been turned over to him by the
prison authorities and calmly proceed,
cd to read them and converse with At
torney F. H. Berbertch. Mr. Berberlch
met Lang as he entered the Federal
building and looked after Ilia Interests.
I-ang opened the letters and the hand.:
that held them never trembled In the
slightest. In tones calm and quiet he
conversed with Mr. Berbertch a few
minutes In Clerk Fuller's office.
Then he wa|ked to the door leading
the corridor and said:
"Gentlemen, I ain ready to go with
ou.”
Again handcuffs were placed on his
wrists and he left the building a pris
oner. At the Terminal Btatlon he
asked to see the extradition papers and
the charge against him. He told Mr.
Berberlch to examine the papers.
Didn't Need Papers.
•If they suit you,” he said, “they are
satisfactory to me., extradition pa
pers were unnecessary, however. 1
City Employees Must Not
Be Indebted to Street
Car Company.
Upon the form of the agreement en
tered Into between the city of Atlanta
and the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company will depend altogether any
approval of the* railroad commission of
the plan of allowing city employees to
ride free.
In other words, the obligation of
carrying the individuals—Inspectors,
firemen or policemen—mutt be on the
city nnd not the street car company.
Employees receiving such privileges
must feel that It comes from the city
and not the street railway.
Tuesday morning Park Woodward,
general manager of the waterworks,
and Frank Rice, president of the water
board, appeared before the commission
ae a committee from that department
of the city government, to see If the
order regarding free passes would not
be moderated sufficiently to allow Its
spectora to ride on the cars free.
They' were told frankly that It would
depend altogether on the agreement
framed between the city of Atlanta and
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. They jvere asked to reduce on
agreement to writing, submit It to the
commission, when It would be paeaed
upon.

The contract for the construction of
the Atlanta-Auguata Interurbon elec
tric line has been awarded to the Cook
Laurie Co., of Montgomery, Ala,
and orders for the equipment for the
portion of the line to Atlanta will be
placed Immediately.
. Work'will begin on the tracks In the
city within a few months, certainly I
before March I, 1908, the date of the
expiration of the franchise granted by
the city, and when once started the
other. section will be constructed ua
rapidly ns possible.
A director of the company stated
Tuesday morning that the financial ar
rangements had been made with a
London firm to the satisfaction of those
Interested In the electric railway, and
that, although there are still many
things to be done, the project is pro
gressing finely.
The Idea of running electric cars
without a trolley by use of a recent
Invention will probably not be carried
out. This plan works well. It Is said,
for passenger service, but would give
little satisfaction In handling the great
amount of freight which the Atlanta-
Augusta line will have to.carry.
As yet, it is stated, the entire right
of way has not been secured by the
company, which makes the construction
of certain portions of the line some
what uncertain. However, It Is not ex-
Iiected that the property owners will
cause trouble. In view of the value op
the line to the country through which
It runs.
J. II. Cook, president of the Cook &
Laurie Company, which Is to do the
work, was In Atlanta Tuesday, stop
ping at the Ptedmont. He declined to
discuss the Itffalrs of the company be
yond admitting, when asked, that the
contract Had been awarded to his firm.
The proposed line will he 200 miles
long, running from Atlanta to Augus
ta. through l.lthonln. Conyers. Monroe,
Athens, Lexington und Washington. It
will furnish both freight and passenger
for the sections througb which
It goes. A t*n-m!nnti> ndhedlfle will
l>e run upon the portion of -the line
In Atlanta. *
The placing of the orders-for the
equipment of the Atlanta end of the
line real!y marks the beginning of the
construction of the railway. As eoon
us the material is on hand, it Is stated,
the actual building will commence.
