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.

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!

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.

The Orothertou case will be taken bp at the. next term. In ATLANTA MAN CHOSEN 2ND, VICE_PRESIDENT NATIONAL ECLECTIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ELECTS IT8 OFFICER6. But In-nay. O..

NEW ENGLAND MILLS GRANT WAGE INCREASE 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. FATAL PISTOL DUEL AT.A MASK BALL BRYAN SAYS CAN'T CONTROL TRUSTS “EXTERMINATE THEM ROOT . AND BRANCH.” 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." GOES UNDER THE KNIFE DR. J. WM. WHITE OPERATED ON FOR CANCER OF IN- . TESTINE8. By Private Lesaed Wire. fit. Paul. Mina..
