Ida Joit, aged 8. who conduct! a dairy, was badly beaten tod cut ibout the face with milk bottles and glasses last night while In the kitchen of her home, by a discharged negro em ployee, whom the says It named John How ard. An bonr later Howard, aged 19. was found unconscious In the bath room of hit parents* rooms from poison. That the going out of whisky has not hurt Atlanta real estate and that business men are sanguine, was shown Monday by Joe Gross, the two-dollar hat man, when he turned down an of fer tor a lease he has on the big Peachtree-st. store now occupied by Hose, the liquor dealer. Soon after the prohibition bill passed, Mr. Gross secured a five-year lease on the Rose building, and intended mov ing In there after the first of the year. A few days ago he was approached by the agent$of a capitalist and nego tiations were opened for the purchase of this lease. Mr. Gross was offered $5,000 for his lease and was given un til Monday morning to think It over. Mr. Gross wanted the $5,000, and still he felt sure his business would crease In the new store. He weighed matters over, and on Monday he had fully concluded that to* take‘$5,000 and remain where he wus and not be able to enlarge his busi ness would be a losing proposition. So, he turned down the offer. “A little thing like the going out of whisky.” said Mr. Gross, “Is not; going to hurt Atlanta. I expect to make more than the amount offered for the lease In the first year, or I wouldn’t have refused the offer. You can’t keep Atlanta down.” ROADS MUST STICK TO LOWSHOE RATE Judge Newman’s Decision Keeps Injunction in Effect. MAIL CONTRACTORS DRIVE POOR HORSES After striking terror to the hearts of corporation officials and Individuals who work crippled animals. E. V. D. Haskell. Atlanta's strenuous agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cru elty to Animals, has gone after higher game. He has tackled the wagons and horses that transport United States mall to and from the railroad depots, In spite of the fact that “U. S." In big letters wers painted on these wagons, and that people hesitate about bother* fnlt with them. Agent Haskell had cases made against the people respon sible for using animals'In no condition to work. The blow fell on the con tractor who carries the malls for Uncle Sam. Then Agent Haskell consulted with Postmaster Blodgett and said Uncle Sam would not do his own animals that way and that contsactors working for Uncle Sam could not do that way In Atlanta. Postmaster Blodgett heartily agreed with Agent Haskell that the government would not consent to ( pled animals being worked, and he heartily co-operate with the humane man. "I don't car, who I hit,” says Agent Haskell; "but cruelty to animals In Atlanta must stop." DECATUR-ST.’S NAME MAY BE CHANGED Following the closing of the saloons on January 1.

BERNARD C. ANSTED, President. Declaring that the evidence falls to show that the 85-cent rate on boots and shoe* from the north by rail and water routes to Atlanta has Injured the carrier companies, Judge Newman handed down a decision, Saturday af ternoon, allowing the temporary Ve straining order to remain in force in this well 'known case until the com plalnants can present the "matter to the Interstate Commerce Commission. . This cage Is the one In which the M. C. Kiser Company and the J. K. Orr Shoe Company applied for, and cured, a temporary restraining order against the Southern, Seaboard Air Line, Atlantic Coast Line, Ocean Sreamshlp Company, the Merchants and Miners* Transportation Company and the Central of Georgia railroad. ''This bill was filed on April 29, 1905. and sought to prevent the defendants from raising the rate on boots atfd shoes by rail and water from New York from 85 cents a hundred pounds to $1.06. Prior to February 1, 1905, tlie rate was $1.14. An order affecting this was Issuefi by the railroad com mission, known as circular 301. Later, the railroads, at a meeting of repre sentatives in St. Augustine, agreed to reduce this rate after the commis sion’s circular had been revoked. The reduction placed (the rate at 85 cents in carload lots, and still later, at 85 cents for less than carload lots. This rate was in effect when, on April 12, 1905, the railroads and steam ship lines interested announced in a Circular that on May 1 following the rate would be Increased to 93 cents tor carload lots and $1.06 for less than this amount. The complainant! then asked and received a temporary restraining order, preventing the railroads from putting this advance into effect. Sim liar action was taken before Judge Speer in Macon, by E. A. Waxelbaum and others. The evidence showed It wan useless for Atlanta Jobbers to try and use car load lots, so that the advance meant really from 85 cents to $1.05 a hun c’.red# In his decision continuing the re straining order. Judge Newman says the evidence falls to show that the carrying companies have been Injured by the continuation of the 85-ccnt rate. He says further that the first six months of 1906, the last period available fbr comparison, shewed such an Increased business that It is rea sonable to expect that double the bus! ness would be shown over the same period In 1904, undet* the $1.14 rate. Judge Newman concludes by order ing that the temporary restraining or der remain In force a reasonable length of time In order that the com plainants may present their case to the Interstate Commerce Commission, in Washington and determine whether or not the rate proposed by the car- rlerajs reasonable.
