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.

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.

ATLANTA MIN'CHOSEN 2ND, VICE-PRESIDENT NATIONAL ECLECTIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ELECT8 IT8 OFFICERS. Special Cable. 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.'’ THIS FAMOUSSURGEON GOES UNDER THEKNIEE DR. J. WM.
