Noisy Plunk Stopped Long Enough at The
Georgian Office Thursday
to Say Hello.
That Georgian dollar! What a time
It hat had these last few days!
It stopped over at the Georgian of
fice Thursday long enough to buy a
12.60 six months subscription for Jack
Hnstlnga, and while here it related
come of Ite experiences.
The Georgian dollar Is about the
only one In Atlanta that talks much. It
talks 26 cents louder than any dollar In
town.
Have you seen this dollar? It has a
card attached to It by a little silver
ring. Many of Atlanta's most promt
nent merchants give premiums when
It Is ueed to purchase goods at their
•tores. If you get hold of The Geor-
alan dollar you'll be lucky. Ask your
friends 'about It and get In the hunt
for It, fpr there’s considerable doing.
It bought fl.25 worth of lunch for
sonfe Georgian men Thujsday.
PROPOSED PLAN TO SOLVE
THE FREIGHT YARD FIGHT
A solution to the problem which has
caused trouble between the city of At
lanta and the Louisville and Nashville
railroad la embodied In tho above plat
drawn by City Engineer Clayton, for
The Georgian, showing the yards of
the railroad, which face on Hunter
street between Butler and Piedmont
avenue.
For tho past two or three months
wagons carrying freight to and from
the yards have crossed the sidewalk
at random, which, It Is claimed by the
city authorltes, Is a public menare.
Wednesday Mayor Woodward erected
the four fencee now standing. The
matter was taken up Thursday by
council and referred to the committee
on atreeta, electric and other railroads,
the city attorney and city engineer.
At the meeting nf the Joint committee
the above plat will be presented.
The Idea nf 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 pedestrians may see
wagons coming out before they are
actually under the wheels of the carts.
Cutting off the tracks will take up
room for only three cars and as the
yard accommodates eighty cars It Is
believed by the mayor and other city
authorities that tho plan will be satis
factory to alt concerned.

EXPERT
HERE FORTWO DAYS
MILES M. DAWSON ON THE
. INVESTIGATION.
Expeots Jerome to Prosecute Men-
Higher-Up To the Limit
of the Law.
Miles M. Dawson, actuary In the
Hughes life Insurance Investigation,
and the leading Insurance expert In
America, arrived In Atlanta Friday
momlng to remain two daya on busi
ness for the Southern States Life In
surance Company, of which he le
consulting actuary.
A typical New Yorker, Mr. Dawson
waa busy at the Southern States of
fice in the Candler building two hours
after he arrived In Atlanta. He took
time from hie consultation with Presi
dent Wllmer L. Moore to talk a few
mlnues of the Insurance Investigation,
In which he took eo prominent a part.
•Tha results of the Investigation are
very apparent, I think. The cost of
buelneee has been materially reduced
and all down the line extravagance of
every nature has been eliminated.
Many bad practices were stopped, and
the solvency of the companies waa
thoroughly de.ermlned. A policy In the
companies that have been Investigated
la worth more today than ever before,
I think."
"Do you think any prosecutions will
result from the Indictments brought
against some of the men-hlgher-tp?”
was asked.
"I do. Indeed, for It la a policy of Mr.
Jerome's never to bring an indictment
unless he feels confident 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
Hate If those Indicted are not convict
ed.
"Speaking nf the Investigation re
minds me of what a friend of mine said
to me Jokingly while the Investigation
was at tta height. He said aa far as he
could see the only result up to that
time was that those big companies'
president* who knew but little of life
Insurance had been removed and three
men who knew a lot leu had been put
in their places.
"I will be In Atlanta but two days,
as l must go lo Canada, where 1 will
take part In an Investigation by the
royal commission."
The ruse of stshblng sgslnst “Han''
llrotherton nnd an economies! Judge com
blned, caused the adjournment of the spe
cial term of the criminal branch of the
superior court which Judge Roan had set
for the past week.
The llrotherton case was set for Monday,
hut was continued until Friday on account
of tho Illness of one of tho witnesses for
the defense. When It was announced
Thursday that the witness was still slek,
Judge ltoan sent s deputy nut to nee If the
witness was unable to attend court. Tbo
deputy reported that be hod found the wit
ness III shed, and to save the county the
rest of the Jury, Judge Ilosn adjourned
the court Thursday sfternooo for the term.
The Orothertou case will be taken bp at

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 - • • • r 11v when It reaches the consumer.
So th*- consumer may begin at ome to reckon <>n how much meat he
must eat to pay this 1«>ks at an extra cost 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 lnfllnltum.

BRYAN SAYS CAN'T
CONTROL TRUSTS
“EXTERMINATE THEM ROOT

Not Responsible for Phrases Used
Regarding Him—He Is
Unchanged.
Special Cable.
Trondhjem, Norway, June 22.—Wil
liam J. Bryan arrived here yesterday
to attend the coronation.
Sir. Bryan, taking for his text* the
statement that he, was being described
as conservative, said;
“I am not responsible for tbe phrase
used In regard to me, but I am respon
slble 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 Incorporated
In 1904, and It Is the only tenable post
tlon.
"There Is some talk of controlling
the trusts—you might as well talk of
controlling burglary. We do not say
men shall only steal a little bit, or In
some particular way, hut 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
listed, but private monopolies must
xtermlnnted, root and branch. Now.
you can call that a radical doctrine.
Yet It Is more conservative to apply
this remedy now than to watt until
predatory wealth has by Iti lawless
ness brought odium on legitimate ac
cumulations.
“What used to be called radical It
now called conservative, because people
have been'Investigating. The doctrine
hi\s not changed, but public sentiment
Is making progress."

MAN-HATING HORSE.
From The New York American.
•'Blggsy'' Js In the civil service, at
tached to the Riverside Hospital, os
North Brother Island. He could not
be removed summarily, and so the
health board designed a new and un
usual punishment for a* city employee.
He has been sentenced to the health
department laboratories for use by the
doctors In the manufacture of diphthe
ria anti-toxin. It Is not expected that
he will be able to live under the ordeal
for more thnn two years.
Blggsy's trouble with the health
board waa the result of an altercation
he hod with hi* driver, David Miller,
about two weeks ago: Miller was
scraping mud off Blggsy’s flank, and
Blggsy thought ht waa unnecessarily
rough about tt and kicked Miller In the
groin. Blggsy Is to large and strong
that he did not appreciate how hard he
atruck the driver, but the latter had to
go to the hospital, and. ns soon a* h«
was able, he filed chargee agaln»t
Blggsy, and the city recorder yesterday
announced the official Verdict.
Dr. William H. Park, director of tht
icteriologlcal laboratory, explained to
an American reporter Just what Bl **‘
ay would hav* to undergo a* a pun
ishment.
We have eome diphtheria germ*
owing In (one bouillon here at the
aboretory," said Dr. Park. These
bacteria have a way of committing sui
cide by secreting an add that kib*
them. It Is this acid which •• Injected
with a hypodermic syringe Into tn
blood of a horee. When the apin'*' 1 *
thoroughly Impregnated with It,
blood U taken from hla Jugular vein,
and that blood I* the essential element
of anti-toxin." .. . „
This Injection, according to the pny
tic Ian. will have to be made •* ,ou, t **
ery 25 day*, otherwise the BjnJ'lg*
anti-toxin become* too week to MU tne
diphtheria bacilli when Injected Inm
the human system. A horee subject*"
to this treatment Buffers the most ex-
