THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
SATl'RDAV, AUnVHT 3. 130a,
M^SEHQftLETO RUN
FOR BUM'S JOB
New Richmond in Field for
Court of Ap
peals.
Hon. T. K. Maseengale, of Warren
county, wrote a friend at the state
capita! Saturday that he was Jn the
race for railroad commissioner and was
aure to win. Mr. Mnssengale was one
of the most earnest supporters of Hon.
Hoke Smith In the recent contest. Hon.
Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, Is also
spoken of In this connection. Hon.
Pope Brmvn, It Is said, does not again
aspire to the position.
For appellate court Judgeships, the
names of Judge James K. Hines, of
Fulton; Hon. Kmeraon George, of Mor
gan; Hon. W. A. Covington, of Col
quitt, and Hon. Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb, ore being variously discussed.
These were aJJ ardent supporters of
the -overner-to-be, and many think the
convention will make Its selections of
three from this list. The convention
will alK> very likely nominate a can
didate for railroad commissioner.
If these contests go Into the con
vention, which is very probable, there
will be more interest In the conven
tion than was at first thought after
the landslide occurred.
The state chairmanship Is also an
other interesting proposition for the
convention to settle. It was hinted nt
the capitol today that a contest from
McDuffie was on the tapis.

By Prfvste lotted Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 25.'—Despite the
watchfulness of the administration,, a
"Joker" appears to have crept Into
the new Interetate commerce law In the
shape of a provision that makes It
legal for any: railroad to give free
transportation to the officer, agents and
employees of the Standard Oil Compa
ny. and to the members of their fam
ilies.
The new law makes any person, per-
sons or corporation engaged In the
transportation of oil by pipe lines, a
common carrier, and In another aectlon
allows a common carrier to give free
transportation to the ofllcera, agents
or employees of another common car
rier. or to their families.
The Standard oil “
operates pipe lines,
visions of the new law Is a common
carrier. By being classed as a com
mon carrier. It Is declared, the ofllcera,
agents and employees of the compan:
together with their families, are entl
tied to free transportation from- an
other common carrier, Just as one rail
road Is entitled to exchange passes with
another railroad,
PRESIDENT CALLS FOR FUNDS
TO AID EARTHQUAKE SUFFERERS
By Private Leased Wire.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 25.—President Roosevelt this afternoon Issued a
proclamation calling upon the people of the United States for relief funds
to aid the earthquake victims of Valparaiso. The proclamation Is as fol
lows:
"A dreadful calamity has befallen our sister republic of Chile In the
destruction by earthquake of Valparaiso and other localities.
"We, of this nation, nt this moment see the city of San Francisco
struggling upward from the ruins In which a like catastrophe over
whelmed her last spring.
“We keep keenly in mind the thankful appreciation we then felt for
the way In which the people of Europe and both Americas came forward
with generous assistance. Jn the time of woe of our sister republic I
ask that our people, out of their abundance, now try to do to another as
others last spring did to us.
"The National Red Cross Association has already taken measures to
collect nny subscription that may be offered for the purpose, and I'trust
that there will be a generous response.

Secretary of State Phil Cook and his
chief clerk, Goode Price, are very much
worried over the fact that they cannot
get all the names of the successful!
candidates In the recent primary to
have them printed In the election
blanks to be sent out to the various
counties In the state.
The law is mandatory on this sub
ject and requires that these blanks be
In the hands ot the various ordinaries
at least thirty days before the general
election the first Wednesday in Octo
ber.
■ In order to do this, the copy will
have to be given to the printer on next
Monday, as It will take them four or
five days to get them out. They will
then have to be assorted, put In separ
ate packages, securely wrapiicd and
tied and expressed to the ordinaries.
On account ot the late primaries, the
tlmfi la very short, as they cannot get.
all the names of the successful nomi
nees. They have all the names, except
the varloua Judges and solicitors, hut
only a few of the I after.
Them primary and convention being
put late this year, they cannot get
the names from the secretary of the
state Democratic executive committee,
as they have not all reached him yet.
All names, therefore, that do not
reach Secretary Cook by Monday, wilt
have to be written In after the blanf s
reach the various counties.
Secretary Cook Is being congratulat
ed on leading the ticket so far, having
led In every county officially reported,
except Floyd, where he was a few
votes behind.

Governor Terrell Saturday commuted
the sentence of two Chinamen In Sa
vannah and a negro man In Atlanta.
The two Chinamen were Charlie Sing
and Henry Ling, convicted at the 1906
spring term of Chatham superior court
of running a "hop*’ Joint. They were
ench sentenced to $600 fine and six
months In Jail or twelve months on
the chalngang. The court officials rec
ommended clemency because they were
aliens and Ignorant of the law of this
country, besides being In bad physical
condition and poverty stricken.
Of one, a Savannah physician wrote
that if he was sent to the chalngang
he would not survive the hard work
for fifteen days, because of his bad
physical condition. The 1 sentence was
reduced to $600 fine or the alternative
ot the chalngang service.
The other commutation was that of
the negro Madison Davis, convicted at
th* September, 1905, and the March,
190$, terms of the city criminal court
ot Atlanta, two cases of larceny, ten
months each. These sentences were
commuted to present service.
