A solution to the prbblem which haa
caused trouble between the city of At
lanta and the Louisville and Nashville
railroad la embodied In the above plat
drawn by City Engineer Clayton for
Tha Georgian, 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 Is claimed by the
City authnrlles, le a public menace.
Wednesday Mayor Woodward erected
the four fences nojv 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 or throe openings, two on
Hunter and on* on Butler street, with
six of the tracks cut off, leaving room
for roadways on the railroad property,
provides that pedestrians may see

actually under the wheels of the carta.
Cutting off the -track* will take up
room for only three cars arid as the
yard accommodates eighty cars It is
believed by the mayor and other city
authorities that the plan will be satis

INSURANCE EXPERT
HERE FORTWO DAYS
MILES M. DAWSON ON THE
INVESTIGATION. *
Expects Jerome to Prosecute Men-
Higher-Up To the Limit
of the Law.
Miles M. Dawson, actuary' lit ‘ the
Hushes life Insurance Investigation,
and the leading. Insurance expert In
America, arrived* In Atlanta Friday
morning to remain two days on busi
ness for the Southern Stales Life In
surance Company, of which ha la
consulting actuary.
A typical New Yorker, Mr. Dawson
was busy at the Southern State* of
fice In the Candler building two hours
after he arrived In Atlanta. He took
time from his conaultattpn with Presi
dent Wllmer L. Moore to talk a few
minus* of the Insurance Investigation,
In which he took so prominent a part.
‘The results of the Investigation are
very apparent, I think. The cost of
business has been materially reduced
and all down the line extravagance of
evs.-y nature has . bean eliminated.
Many bad practice, were stopped, and
the solvency of the companies was
thoroughly determined. A policy In the
companies that have been Investigated
Is worth more today than ever before,
I think."
"Do you think any prosecutions will
mult from the Indictments brought
again*! some of the men-hlgher-rpT*
was asked.
"I do, Indeed, for It Is a polity of Mr.
Jerome's never to bring an Indictment
unless he feel* confident he can secure
a conviction. Of course It would be
Impossible to tell how those trial* 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
ed.
"Speaking of the Investigation re
minds me of what a friend of mine said
to me iokingly while the Investigation
was at Us height. He said ns far as he
could see the only mult 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,
as I must go to Canada, where I will
take part In an Investigation by' the
royal commission."

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 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 Infllnltura.

onel W. B. Spears, one of the attorn
ey* for th* Tennessee Coal, Iron and

agent to attempt to back assess the
property of the company, on property

about $1,000,000 Interest, because much
of this property Is located outside ih*

MAN-HATING HORSE.
From The New York American.
"Rlggsy" Is In the civil .service, at
tached to the Riverside Hospital, on
North Brother Island. He conbl not
be removed summarily, and. so tha
health board designed a new and un
usual punishment for a city employes
He has been sentenced to the health
department laboratories for use by th*
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 than two years.
Blggey’s trouble with the health
board was the result of nn altercation
he had with his driver. David Miller,
about two weeks ago. Miller was
scraping mud off Blggay's dank, end
Blggsy thought he was unnecessarily
rough about It and kicked Miller In th*
groin. Blggsy Is so large and strong
that he did not appreciate how hard he,
struck the driver, but the latter had tn
go to the hospital, and. as soon ss h#
waa able, he filed charges against
Blggsy, and the city recorder yesterday
announced the official verdict.
Dr. William H. Park, director of the
bacteriological laboratory, explained to
•n American reporter Just whst BJgg-
sy would hav# to undergo as s pun
ishment.
"We have some diphtheria germ*
growing In some bouillon here *t the
laboratory," said Dr. Park. “Thes*
bacteria have a way of committing sui
cide by secreting an acid that kilts
them. It Is this acid which Is Injected
with a hypodermic syringe Into th*
blood of a hnrae. When the animal le
thoroughly Impregnated with It. some
blood Is taken from hi* Jugular vetiw
and that blood Is the essential element
of anti-toxin"
This Injection, according to the phy
sician. will have to be made about ev
ery* $5 days, otherwise the resulting
nnfl-loxln becomes too weak to kill the
diphtheria bacilli when Injected Int*
the human system. A horse subjected
to this treatment suffers the most ex
cruciating [>nln, but a big animal I-k*
Blggsy will stand It for two years.
