in view of the overwhelming and un

It stopped over at the Georgian of

$2.(0 elx month* subscription for Jack
Hastings, and while here it related
some of tte experiences. .
The Georgian dollar Is about the
only one In Atlanta that talks much. It
talks !( cents louder than any dollar In
town.
Have you seen this dollar? It has a
card attached to tt by a little silver
ring. Many of Atlanta's most promi

It le used to purchase goods at thalr
stores. If you get hold of The Geor

PUBLIC MUST PAY THE LOSSES;
BEEF TRUST PUTS UP PRICES
Chicago, June 22.—The public, having had its fling at the beef trust,
today is called upon to pay the reckoning. An increase of 2 cents a
pound in the prices of beef and mutton, made by the packers to the re
tailers. will be effective to the consumer today. It probably will be
something more than 2 cents when It reaches the consumer.
So the consumer may begin at once to reckon on how much meat he
must eat to pay this loss at an extra post of 2 cents a pound. If he
does not eat enough at that price. It's easy to put on another 2 cents
and keep the process up ad fnfllnltum. «
FATAL PISTOL DUEL
AT A MASK BALL
DESTRUCTIVE EIRE
VISITS CUBAN CITY,
A solution to the problem which haa
caused trouble between the city of At
lanta and the Liouleville nnd Nashville
railroad la embodied In the above plat
drawn by City Engineer Clayton for
The Oeorglan, showing the yards of
the railroad, which face on Hunter
street between Butler and Piedmont
avenue.
For the past two or three months
wagons carrying freight to and from
the yards have crossed the sidewalk
at random, which, It le claimed by the
city authorttes, la a public menace.
Wednesday Mayor Wtwxjward erected
the four fences now standing. The
matter was taken up Thursday by
council and referred to the committee
on streets, electric and other railroads,
the city attorney and city engineer.
At the meeting of the Joint committee
the above plat will be presented.
The Idea of three openings, two on
Hunter and one on Butler street, with
six of the tracks cut off, leaving room
for roadways on the railroad property,
provides that |>edestrlans may see
wagons coming out before they are
actually under the wheels of tho carta.
Cutting off the tracks will take up
room for only three cars and as the
yard accommodates eighty cars tt Is
bellevsd by ths mayor and other city
authorities that the plan will be satis
factory to all concerned.

HERE FOR TWO DAYS
MILES M. DAWSON ON THE
INVESTIGATION.
Expects Jerome to Prosecute Men-
Higher-Up To the Limit
of the Law.
Miles M. Dawsnn, actuary In the
Hughe* life Insuranco Investigation,
and the leading Inaurance expert In
America, arrived In Atlanta Friday
morning to remain two day* on busi
ness for the Southern States Life In
surance Company, of which he le
consulting actuary.
A typical New Yorker, Mr. Dawson
was busy at the Southern State* of
fice In the Candler building two hour*
after he arrived In Atlanta. He took
time from his consultation with Presi
dent Wifmer L. Moore to talk a few
mlnues of the Insurance Investigation,
In which he took ao prominent a part.
"The results of the Investigation are
very apparent, I think. The cost of
business has been materially reduced
und all down the line extravagance of
ever)- nature has beeh eliminated.
Many bad practices were stopped, and
the solvency of the companies was
thoroughly do-ermlned. A policy In ths
companies that have been Investigated
Is worth more today than ever before,
l think." ^
"Do you think any prosecutions will
result from the Indictments brought
against some of the men-hlgher-vp?"
was asked.
"I do. Indeed, for It Is a policy of Mr.
Jerome's never to bring sn Indictment
unless he feels conffdent he can secure
a conviction. Of course It would be
Impossible to tell how those trials will
result. Mr. Jerome Is a fearless prose
cutor and one of the ablest lawyers In
America, and it will be no fault of the
state If those Indicted are not convict-
Ipeaklng of the Investigation re
minds me of what a friend of mine said
to me Jokingly while the Investigation
was at Its height. He Mid as far aa he
could see the only result up to that
time was that those big companies'
presidents who knew but little of Ilf*
Insurance had been removed and three
men who knew a lot less had been put
In their place*.
"I will be In Atlanta but two days,
i I must go to Canada, where I will
take part In an Investigation by the
royal commission.”

Trondhjem, Norway, June 22.—Wil
liam J. Bryan arrived- here yesterday
to attend the coronation.
Mr. Bryan, taking for his text the
statement that he was being described
as conservative, said:
"I am not responsible for the phrase
used In regard to me, but ^am respon
sible for my position on public ques
tions. That position ought to be well-
known. Take the trust question for
Instance, as It seems uppermost Just
now. My position Is that private mo
nopoly Is Indefensible and Intolerable.
That was the Democratic platform In
1900 and the plank was Incosnorated
In 1901, and It is the only tenable posi
tion.
"There Is some talk of controlling
the trusts—you might as welt talk of
controlling burglary. Wo do not say
men shall only steal a little bit, or in
some particular way. but that they
shall not steal at all. It Is so of pri
vate monopolies. It Is not sufficient to
control or regulate them—they must
be absolutely and totally destroyed.
Corporations should be controlled and
regulated, but private monopolies must
be exterminated, root and branch. Now,
you can call that a radical doctrine.
Yet It Is more conservative to apply
this remedy now than to wait until
predatory wealth has by Its lawless
ness brought odium on legitimate ac
cumulations.
"What used to be called radical le
now called conservative, because people
have been investigating. The doctrine
has not changed, but public sentiment
Is making progress.'’
