Widespread Plot Found. Premier Stolypln Is In strict retire ment for the present, but he Is said to have urged the cssr to resist the demand of the 'reactionaries, headed by the grand dukes, for a military dicta torship. It Is urged that the former program be put Into effect as the only alternative for civil war and worse outrages. His two children who were wounded are >,regressing favorably. The young woman who Milled General Min de clares she killed hhn for hts many bru tal acts towards the people. It Is stated today that the police have discovered In the papers of the perpetrators of the Stolypln massaerr evidences of a widespread plot.

Several of the slaughter house men of Atlanta will unite their forces and fight the new meat Inspection ordi nance which will come up before coun cil next Monday for passage. The fight will be commenced at the meeting of the special Investigating committee which holds Joint session w'lth the board of health Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. Up until the present time there has been but little opposition to the ordi nance. The retail butchers of Atlanta asked that several portions of the or dinance be changed. These requests, made In writing, wero submitted.to thr committee, and were followed so far ns prnctlcahle. The rensun for the fight against the ordinance Is believed to be that the slaughter house men thlpk a central abattoir, such as will bs bunt It the ordinance Is passed, will In jure the business of the abattoirs now In existence. However, It Is the general opinion that a central abattoir will be the best possible thing for the cat tle Industry, not only In Georgia, but throughout the South and will make Atlanta the Chicago as well as the New York of the South. Wide public Interest that has bean aroused by the Investigation brought about by The Georgian, and the de termination, as a consequence of the findings of the special committee, Wal ter A. Taylor, ‘chairman, to have pure wholesome meats In the future, will. It Is bslleved, sweep before It any oppo sition which might be thrown In the The central abattoir Is proposed to be not only be the most complets plant of the kind In the South, so far as In terior arrangements are concerned, but will have a stock yard large enough to accommodate any number of ani mals. The enterprise Is backed by W. H. White, Jr., formerly Southern man ager for the Swift Company; J. J. Mc Lendon, also at one time a manager for the same company? R. L. Walker and the 8. C. Wllkerson Sc Bros. Gro cery Company, as well as a number of Atlanta capitalists. The matter of selecting a proper site for the abattoir and stock yards Is still In the embryo. Several places near the river have been gone over and are under consideration. The final de cision will be made soon after the pass age of the ordinance. 1 |.

It Intends to do, Mr. White stated that the nominal sum charged for the slaughter of animals and the small re frigerating fee, also to be regulated by the city council, will encourage the farmers around this section of the country to raise cattle and will bring cattle from all portions of the 8oath to Atlanta, which will be used as a dis tributing point. It Is Mr. White's be lief that' the superior railroad facilities will also greatly aid In building up the cattle'business In the South and that the abattoir will be another feather In Atlanta’s cap. Not Evan 8trlet Enough. If anything," said Mr. White, "the ordinance Is not strict enough. The stricter the better It will suit us, for without the moot rigid regulations' we can not' hope to get the confidence of the people and cope successfully with the Western- meats." Chairman Taylor, of the special com mittee which has carried on the work of Investigating and of drafting the ordinance, Is receiving letters dally from prominent cltluna asking that the work be pushed to a successful,con clusion. Some of these communica tions follow: • FROM RANDOLPH ROSE. Dr. Walter T.

Van Winkle, the young Atlantan who . recently went to Baku, Russia, for the purpose of installing elaborate machinery In oil wells and oil refineries there, was deported from the country In a mysterious manner about two weeks ago. He was served with papers, through the British ambassador,,which ordered him to leave the country Immediately. The orders came from the Russian government. - They said the govern ment would not be responsible for his life at the end of 53 hours. No explanation as to the action was afforded. Such Inquiries as Mr. Van Winkle desired to make were cut short by Russian taciturnity and red tape. It Is supposed that the orders came from the bureaucracy. m Mr. Van Winkle, got together his things, left his' business in the best shape possible and departed for Parts.

There are several homicide cases In addition to the remaining three negroes ac cused of the murder of the Lyerly family, and the lynchers now under Iff dlctment. When the trial of these peo- plo began, six negroes were charged with the crime. The mob hanged three of these and the officers took the others to Charlotte for safe keep ing. Judge Long, on'the day of the lynching, said If there was any attempt violence, he would stop the proceed' Ings against the murderers and fight out with the lynchers If It takes all the summer. Six were arrested. The grand Jury Ignored the bills against three and one was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary Wednesday, and put on trial for his life. He Is supposed to have taken actual part In the hanging of the negroes. Other Indictments In minor degrees will follow. The trial of the murderers will fol low that of the lynchers. If there has been any more to arrest the processes of the court In the lynching matter, nothing has developed of It. It la generally understood, however, that the mob is opposed to trial of Gentle and something Is liable to develop at any time. The condition of Delia Dillingham, the wife of the murdered Jack Dilling ham, who was the especial hatred of the mob, Is such as makes her trial doubtful. It Is the heaviest docket In years despite the fact that since the regular term In May there have been two special sessions.
