mittee and the board of health Tues
day afternoon ,by the statements of
W. H. White, Jr., and J.' J. McLen
don. who head the enterprise.
The meat ordinance, which Is both
long and drastic, was gone over sec
tion by section and adopted, with only
a few minor changes. It Will be pre
sented to council Monday next and
there lx no doubt It will be adopted,
thus assuring Atlanta meats absolute
ly free of all dlse^ge and dirt, meats
not only pure and wholesome, but of
good quality for all times—providing
Us terms are enforced.
Before the meeting was called to
order' Messrs. White and McLendon
were heard from.
Mr. White explained that he came
before the committee to assure Its
members that no outside corporation
waa Interested In the new enterprise
In any way, shape or manner. "Mr.
McLendon and I have been connected
with Swift A Co,” said Mr. White,
"but ojth of us resigned our positions
to engage In business for ourselves.
Atlanta presents a line opening, and
we have decided to start that business
In this city, where both of us have
worked—that 1s, If the city will give us
proper protection."
When asked what he meant by prop
er protection, Mr. White said:
"We do pot ask for any special fa

connected with the city government of
Atlanta, died at the residence, 114
North Jackson street, Wednesday
'‘ tnomlng at 6:50 o'clock after an Illness
of two weeks. The cause of death was
a complication of paralysis and general
nervous breakdown, brought on. It Is
believed, by the severe studies Mr.

to taking examination for a lieutenan

Mr. MrLendnn was than heard from.
"Our Intention Is to maka the local
meat, that for which the people will
clamor Instead of for the Western
meats. The only way we can do this
Is to have strict regulations. We must
have the support and confidence of the
Atlanta people to make a success of
this business." ,
Councilman Oldknow naked If It was
the purpose of the company to create
a monopoly.
Mr. McLendon said It was not. that
they did not ask for any privileges
that would not be given to competitors
and that the new company was not to
be a trust. "It Is to be run on the
co-operative plan. We hope to get
every local meat dealer Interested In
the company, so that he will participate
In the benefits and help along the

LIFE OF DR. H. P. COOPER
WOULD HAVE BEEN 8PARED.
Chairman Walter A. Taylor then
called the meeting to order. Before
the reading of the ordinance Dr. Taylor
said It was his belief that Dr. Hunter
P. Cooper would stilt be alive had the
proposed ordinance been a law six
months ago. "The ptomaine poison
which Dr. Cooper got from eating
chops was the Indirect cause of his
death.” said Dr. Taylor. “We can not

Dr. Taylor than read a communica

the little dealer would be put out of

that they have no contagious nr In
fectlous disease.
The workers must wear sanitary

There must be steam for cleansing
As a result of what Is believed
have been a deliberate plan to kUI bis
keeper, Ed Richmond, convicted of train
robbery, was shot to death Tuesday
afternoon by Guard Pet Fry at the
Federal prison.
Richmond was believed to be one of
the worst prisoners the authorities at
the prison had to handle and, It Is said,
has several times since his Incarcera
tlon, given the guards a great deal of
trouble. ,
He wqs sent to Atlanta In February,
1902, from the Indian Territory, charg.
ed with train robbery. He was to
have served ten years. In the early
part of 1902 ho was the leader of
mutiny In the chapel and on various
occasions before and since hks given
the guards trouble In one way or an
other.
Tuesday he was at work In the shed
where for two years he has been cut
ting stone for use In the finishing of
the prison. He "hod It In" for Guard
Fry and began In the afternoon to wor.
ry him continuously. Finally he went
to one end of the shed so often that
the guard followed him there to find
what was the matter.
Went Into the Box.
The place to which he had gone was
under the gunrd box at that end of
the shed and the only other guard who
was supposed to hare been armed was
In a similar box at the other end of the
building three hundred feet away. Fry,
who was on the floor with the prison
era all the time, was not supposed to
be armed and the prisoner had drawn
him to a point where the rifle of one
of the armed guards would be useless.
But Fry had a pistol.
When Fry ordered him bark to work
the prisoner cursed him nnd told him
he had him Just where he wanted him.
H« advanced on Fry, who attempted
to push him back with the cun ed end
of bis heavy cane. Richmond grabbed
this weapon nnd Jerked It from the
guard's hands.
Tried to Brain Fry,
He then attempted to brain Fry.
striking several blows at him.
Fry tried to avoid killing him and hs
gave him a fleshwound In the right
arm pit. Like a wild animal, with
only a few of the hunter’s bullets In
him, the prisoner only tried the harder
to kill the guard. Finally Fry, when
he was In Immediate danger of being
killed hlmseir, put u third bullet right
above his assailant's heart, killing him
almost Instantly.
Fry had been threatened several
times by Richmond, who told him that
If It was not for the other guards hs
would have been killed long before, nnd
for this reason carried a revolver with
out the knowledge of the men among
whom he worked.
Guard Fry was considered by War
den W. H. Moyer to be one of his best
man. He has had years of service as •
prison guard and was very cool and
self-possessed In dealing with danger
ous prisoners. He cams to Atlanta two
years ago from Nashville, Tenn, where
he had for seven years been connected
with the Tennessee state penitentiary.
If neither the guard nor the prisoner
had been armed the odds would proh.
nbly been In favor of the latter. Hi
had been at work In the stone shed for
two years and this had made him a
powerful man. After he had taken
Fry's cane from him he could have
killed the guard had not Fry been
armed with a pistol.
Warden Moyer has wired to the In
dian Territory to And If Richmond's
relatives wish his body sent there. If
he receives no reply It will be burled
at the grave yard at the prison.

THOUSANDS OF MEN
AND WOMEN FIGHT
TO RESCUE SA VINGS
Failure of Big Trust Conceit* Causes Sen
sation—One Man Owes Co. $5,000,-
000—Was President Hypnotized ?
By Trivet. Leased Wire.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 29.—Tre'
mendous excitement was caused when
It became known that the Resa Estate
Trust Company had failed for 17,000,-
000 and thousands of men and women
rushed to the bank and fought to get
at the paying teller's window.
So
ill were railed to preserve order.
Depositors Throng Street.
The street In front of the Trust
building at Broad and Chestnut streets
was blocked early today by a surging
mob of depositors and others who had
gathered expecting to see trouble. Po
lice reserves were powerless to keep
traffic moving.
The rumor that Frank H. Hippie,
president of the company, who had
died last Friday had committed sui
cide, wits verified today. He took
laudnaum and while still conscious
Ailed his bath tub with water and waa
found apparently drowned.
Speculation Csusss Crash.
The crash was brought about by the
speculations entered Into by President
Hippie with Adolph Segal, promoter ot
various enterprises which have not
been financial successes.
Segal alone owes the trust company
36.300,000.
The company's liabilities are approx
imately 310.000,000, with quick assets
of about 33,500,000 and doubtful collat
eral of about 38,000,000.
Trustee For *86,151,082.
In addition, It had about <26,167,682
of trust funds Invested and was a hold-
corporation securities, under
mortgsges, and as depository and
trustee for the Issues of collateral
trust bonds to the amount of 360,483,-
400, a total trusteeship of 396,151,083.
The securities are supposed to be
safe. Nothing Is known of the trust
funds. A striking feature of the fail
ure Is the tremendous losses that relig
ious and charitable Institutions will
suffer. Hippie was a prominent church
man and as such was treasurer of
numerous Institutions.
Churches May Loss.
It Is estimated that the Presbyterian
church and allied societies hsd 31,000,-
000 In the wrecked bank. The city of
Philadelphia had 1800,000 on deposit
there and the state of Pennsylvania,
9176,000.
assembly's
of the trust company's directors ana
officers being prominent In the church,
the corporation had become the finan
cial center of the Presbyterian denomi
nation In Philadelphia, and was to
have received shortly the entire funds
of the general assembly, amounting to
more than 818,000,000.
Was Hippie Hypnotized?
It Is asserted today by the friends of
the dead president that Adolph Segal
exerted a hypnotic Influence over Hip
pie In order to hide the real condition
of the company and save himself. Hip
pie Is said to have resorted to the
falsification of his accounts which were
accepted as true by the directors. Ha
made what Is termed a “double sys
tem" of making reports.
When the state bank examiner culled
Hippie presented to him good securi
ties to offset the loans made and when
the president made his reports to the
directors he would show them a bundle
of securities and other papers, and
along with these he would exhibit the
certificate of the bank examiner, which
show ed that the account* the examiner
had Investigated were correct. The di
rectors supposing the securities shown
them were the same, approved the
reports.
Receiver Earle says he has hopes of
re-opsnlng the-Institution.
Arrests Expected.
George H. Earle, Jr., temporary re
ceiver of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany, which closed Its doors yestorday,
this morning went before Judge Auden-
reld and qualified for the position. It
Is Mr. Earle's opinion that the con
cern will soon resume In some shape
or other, as the directors have con
cluded to meet all claim* of the de
positors.
Investigation Into the methods of
the late president of the concern by
the receiver brought out a number of
ugly facts today and It was declared
there woull be at least one. If not more,
