10,400 mile*. According to the report.

co»t the report say*:
"The committee under whose direc

made, and of which A. J. Cassatt was
chairman, approximated the coat at
about 232.000 a mile; but, allowing the
large estimate for railway construc

WIFE SENDS BOY FOR HUBB Y
WHO IS OUT WITH TWO GIRLS
By Private Letted Wire.
Washington, Aug. 8.—Although no of
ficial confirmation was forthcoming
from President Samuel Gompera or
other officers of the American Fader
atlon of Labor, It was generally un
derstood today that Representative
Nicholas Long worth, the president’s
son-in-law. Is another legislator who
has come under the ban of organized
labor. Like Speaker Cannon and Hep.
reaentatlve Littlefield. It la understood,
his re-election Is to be opposed by the
followers of President Gompera on the
ground that he was more or less antag
onistic In the recent congress to the
projects of organized labor.
A lively denouement to it little trip
to Ponce DeLeon‘park Tuesday night
was recorded Wednesday morning,
when cases were entered by the
police against Miss Alma Htr*
din, of 20 Bradley street, and Miss Em
ma Brockman, residing In Ezxard
street, two pretty Ifl-year-old • girls,
complaint having been made ngnlnst
them by Mrs. William Shepard, of 1*
Bradley street.
The cases grew out of the fact that
Shepard, husband of Mrs. Shepard, Is
accused of accompanying the girls to
Ponce DeLeon, In company with his
single brother, Henry* Shepard, who Is
visiting him from South Carolina,
v’hen the young wife learned that her
. *sba id was In the company of the
t. o gins, complications arose and de
veloped some lively Incidents.
The matter came to a climax Wed
nesday morning when the girls are
said to have vlstted the Shepard home
and abused Mrs. 8hepard, after which
she had cases entered against them.
According to Information furnished
the police, Mrs. Shepard made «r-
rangementa for her brother-in-law,
Henry Shepanl, to take Miss Hardin to
Ponce DeLeon. Tuesday night. After
the voung couple left, they were Joined
by Miss Brockman. William Shepard
Is also said to have later boarded the
same cor.
It seems that some one Informed
Mrs. Shepard of this fact, which ap
pears to have displeased her very
much. Mrs. Shepard Is said to have
then visited the home of Mrs. Hardin,
which Is only a short distance away,
and made complaint In regard to the
quartet. This resulted In Mrs. Hardin’s
dispatching her son to Ponce DeLeon
nnd he Is said to have brought the girls
back home, Mrs. Hardin Informing her
daughter of the complaint of Mrs.
Shepard.
This Incident closed the little drama
for Tuesday night. It opened afresh
Wednesday morning, however, when
Miss Hardin nnd Miss Brockman are
aald to have got together olid visited
the home of Mrs. Shepard. They are
accused of upbraiding her for her con
duct, nt which Mrs. Shepard notified
the police station. Fall Officers
Chandler and Luck responded nnd
served both glrle with copies of charges
citing them to appear in police court
Thursday morning.

Automobiles Collide.
While en route to Atlanta from an
automobile riue and about two miles
beyond Brookwood, an automobile con
taining Mrs. R. P. Becht, a lady friend,
and Chauffeur P. B. Carter collided
Tuesday afternoon with a machine
driven by a negro and containing Mrs.
J. R. Gray and two latfies. The negro
appeared to be at fault, striking both
the other machine nnd a team which
was passing at the time. All parties
concerned In the mlx-up had narrow*
escapes, but beyond the fright nnd
•hock no injuries were sustained. Both
fnachlnes were badly damaged.
Arranging for Convention Crowds.
Secretary Houstoun Harper, of the
Atlanta Hotel Men’s Association, has
written a circular letter to all pros
pective delegates to the annual con
vention of the carriage men ot the
( United States, which will be held In
Atlanta on October 23 to 25, assuring
them that there will be suitable ac
commodations for all who are In the
city on those days. Arrangements
have been made to have carriages at
the hotels to convey all who are un
able to secure rooms at the hotels to
the several pleasant quarters that have
been reserved In private residences for
tha convention party.
After having been attacked and
roughly handled by negroes late Tues
day afternoon, John Garner, manager
of a local Instalment furniture house,
was rescued by Policeman Dan Cook
from a crowd of fully 600 blacks at
Gilmer and Fort street*.
The affair created a scene of Intense
excitement, and it looked (or a time as
though a riot would result.
At the time ot his rescue. Garner was
being severely beaten by a negro wo
man, while the great crowd nt negroes
made Incendiary remarks and offered
J assistance to the white map.
One arrest was made. Minerva Duf
fy. who is said to have been the woman
beating Garner, w*as locked up In the
police station on the charge of dis
orderly conduct.
Garner had gone to the home of a
negro woman in Bell street to collect
on a picture purchased from his firm,
his collector having already failed to
get the money. Instead of paying Gar
ner, the woman cursed him. Garner
then took the picture and started from
the house. As he did so. the woman
nnd several children ran after him. It
was then but the space of a few sec
onds until a big crowd of negroes was
chasing Garner and rocking him.
Hard pressed by the pursuing ne
groes and fearing the picture would be
taken from him. Garner threw* it to
the ground and stamped It to pieces
rather than allow’ it to fall into the
hands of the blacks.
At Gilmer and Fort streets, a block
away, Garner wns attacked by a wo
man, said to be M«;;erva Duffy, and
was struck several blows. About this
time. Officer Cook, who had learned of
the trouble, rushed to the sceno and
rescued the lone white man. The ne
groes were then dispersed.
The Duffy woman will be tried Wed
nesday afternoon In police court.
