ATLANTA IS
FOR G, A, R,
A mad dog, a small flee, kept an
entire family behind locked doors for
four or five hours Wednesday after
noon. A call was received at the police
headquarters asking that an officer be
sent to 410 Simpson street, where the
small dog, made vicious by the rabbles,
was running at large In the yard. Of
ficer Hood mounted a wheel and rode
hastily to 410 Simpson street, the resi
dence of J. B. Stamps.
When he arrived on the scene he
walked up on the porch, pistol In hand.
He rang the bell and a voice from In
side Inquired If that was the police
man who had come to kill a mad dog.
Officer Hood replied that It was. The
door was unlocked and the officer told
where he might find the animal.
The officer stated this morning that
when he came upon the beast It was
running around the different yards on
Simpson street gnawing the turf, bit
ing the trees and rolling over in somer
sault fashion. The dog was killed and
the doors of 410 Simpson street were
unlocked.

Bristol, Tenn., Aug. 16.—The Demo
cratic congressional convention of the
Ninth Virginia district is being held
in Bristol today. There is a large and
enthusiastic attendance. It 1ms been
practically decided among the delegates
that Former State Senator Robert P.
Bruce, of Wise county, Is to be nom
inated.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16.—This
morning the delegate body of the for
tieth national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic was called
to order by Corhmander-ln-Chlef Tan
ner.
The morning session was largely
taken up with work of the committee
on credentials and the annual report of
the commander-in-chlef will come late
In the morning session or early in the
afternoor,.
The canteen question for the Sol
diers’ Home Is almost certain to be
brought up and the question of taking
some action about the monument to
Wlrz will also be a subject that will
enuse excitement If It Is allowed to
come before the encampment.
It Is hardly expected that the election
of officers will be reached today.
Should business at the afternoon ses
sion bo light, the first bullot for c
mander-ln-chlef may bo taken, but It
Is more likely that all voting will be
postponed until tomorrow.
It looks like R. D. Brown, of Zanes
ville, Ohio, will be the next comman-
der-ln-chlef. Atlanta, On., ij) the latest
bidder for the next encampment, but
Saratoga will probably land It.

AS TO STANDINGS.
* Through a slight hut unfortunate error
The Atlunta GcorgfTm's standing of the
Southern longue teams wont one game
astray Wednesday. Little Hock was not
credited with one game which the Trav
elers had won, which was rather a shame,
since the Llttlo Itock crowd has won so
few.
In an attempt to catch the error, the
writer browsed through a hunch of South
ern League* papers. He found the follow
ing had Incorrect standings for that day:
The Atlanta Constitution, The Atinuta
Journal, The Atlanta News, The Arkansas
Gazette, The Birmingham Age-Herald, The
Montgomery Advertiser, The Montgomery
Journal and The Birmingham News.- How
ninny others were wrong, the writer floes
not know. Ho rang off at that, found
the mistake In The Georgian's standing,
anti corrected It. The Ge<frglnn‘s Southern
League standing will ho found correct,
as usually happens.

Sporting Editor The Atlantn Georgian:
We notice In today's Georgian the fol
lowing report of Saturday's game here be
tween Canton and Nelson:
“Nelson. Ga., Aug. 14.—Nelson defeated
Canton on Canton's grounds Saturday by
the score of 2 to 0. Batteries: Canton,
Phllllpps and McClain; Nelson, Craig Day
and Pen ley. Summary: Struck out by
Day 20, by McClain 3; hits off Day 2, off
McClain 18."
This report Is false, and we Iwg to give
you the correct summary of the game,
taken from the official score, which was
as follows:
Batteries: Canton. I'hllllpps and McClain;
Nelson, Craig Day and pen Icy. Summary:
Struck out by Day 10, by McClain 11; bits
off Day 6, off McClain 2. Score, Nelson 2,
Canton o.
The game was lost by Canton by wild
brows while men were on base.
The features were five double plays, three
if which were made by Canton, and the
ireexe fanning of the old “Tech stnr,"
’rnJg Day, as he went down twice before
he benders of McClain.

During the absence* of B. R. Lowry
and his family from' their home, 200
Ashby street, a burglar of unknown
identity entered the house at 4 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon nnd going up
stairs took a pocketbook containing
$4.50 out of a dresser drawer. This Is
the third burglary that has occurred
In that Immediate neighborhood, Ihe
lost being the boldest of them all*
Accused of stealing a watch out of
a house occupied by three negro worn
en, J. T. Haynes, a young maq
red hair nnd mustache, who asserts that
he Is from Columbus, Ga., was bound
over to the city criminal court Thurs
day morning under a $506 bond.
J. Jacobs, a pawnbroker at 100 De
catur street, swore that Haynes
the man who brought him the watch
and that he gave Haynes ten one
dollar bills for the pledge. The pawn
broker says he questioned the man
when he brought the watch, and that
Haynes declared that a girl at 98 Ellis
street had given him the article to
pawn; 9.8 Ellis is the address of the
three women.
When he was brought up for trial
Haynes acted as attorney for himself
and questioned Jacobs, the pawnbroker.
The llrst query fired by Hayiies was:
“How old are you, Mr. Jacobs?” but
the court objected.
"How long have you been In tho
brokerage business?” came next.
"Three years," was the reply.
"How many people u day come In
your shop?”
"About one hundred,” replied the
pawnbroker, "but before you question
me further I wish to say that only
one red-headed man In 500 comes to
my shop, and it's easy to Identify
them."
The case was made by Officers
Evans nnd Eddleton, and the watch
was found by Detective Spradlin, and
In the watch was the name M one of
the women, Laura Weston.
ARE AGREED UPON
The Total Corporation In
crease for the Year Is
$6,192,140.
Comptroller General Wright nnd W.
L. Stanley, of Portsmouth, Va., tax
attorney for the, Seaboard Air Line,
at a conference Thursday morning am
icably settled the question of returns
for that road for 1906.
They agreed on an assessment of
$12,040 per mile for the 66 miles of the
new Atlantic and Birmingham. When
the original returns were submitted the
company gave this property in at $5,-
000 per mile. A a this road-bed is mag
nificently ballasted, and generally con
sidered tho best in the South, the
comptroller declined to accept the fig
ures, raising them to $12,500 per mile.
The compromise was on $12,040 per
mile.
They also agreed to restore the $125,-
000 decrease allowed In the arbitration
of last year on the Georgia and Birm
ingham Terminal Company. With
these adjustments agreed upon the to
tal Increase of the Seaboard over lost

turns on $94,960,526 for 1906 for taxa
tion.

GOTHAM BUCKET SHOPS
ARE TO BE SMASHED
By Private Leaned Wire.
New York, Aug. 16.—Throngs of men
and women Interested In the crusade
against bucket shops, gathered in the
police court of the Tombs today when
the prisoners taken In the recent raids
were Arraigned. This Is the first big
sweeping attack against the bucket
shops of New' York.
In a raid ordered by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvun and made per
sonally by Detective Sergeant ConvlIIe,
four men have been taken Into custody
as being directors 'of the John A.
Boardrmin Company of Philadelphia,
with branc h offices In New York.
Say Al. Adams la Backar.
Of the four prisoners, Frederick
Bloomfield, James Stockwell, George
J. Turner and William H. Lillis, the
district attorney’s office points out that
Turner and Lillis are the original mem
bers of the notorious Haight &
Freeze Company.
Hard upon this comes the news that
the police are making a clvse investi
gation of "M. J. Huge & Company," a
firm of "hankers and brokers” In this
Ity, who a writer In u magazine has
flatly accused not only of running a
bucket shop, hut of being In name
merely a covering for the operations
>f the notorious former policy king, Al.
Adams.
Is Sophia Beck in Game?
It is declared that Adams' wealth
backs the enterprise, and that a term
In state's prison has had no salutary
effect upon the man whom the judge
who sentenced him declared him to be
the meanest man In New York."
The police believe Sophia Beck, the
"Queen of the Confidence Men," smart,
unscrupulous, wonderful Sophia Beck
—who has revelled In wealth, been re
duced to poverty and then been In
swindling schemes and forced her way
back to wealth again, time and again,
In her life. Is mixed up with the game.
