FRIDAY. SKPTF.MBEIt 7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TENNESSEE CAMPAIGN OPENSJEXT WEEK Malcolm Pattfersou Seeks to Defeat H. Clay Evans For Governor. Washington, Sept. 7— Representative Malcolm R Patterson, of the Memphis, Tenn., district, Democrat, a candidate for governor of the atate, who haa been at the Higgs for two weeks, left last I night for Nashville. The campaign will be opened ne*t week In a speech ■Mr. Patterson will deliver at Nashville, anil from that time on the Democrats will be busy engineering a campaign that has for Its purpose the defeat of I II. Clay Evans, the Republican guber-| natoiial nominee. PROPERTY HOLDERS 1 BE Work on the New Postoffice Will Be Started October 15. The property owners who sold the site of the new poatofllce to the govern ment will next week tie notified to vacate, and on October IS the repre sentatives of the supervising architect's office wilt take charge of the lot. This will lie the first step looking to the end of Atlanta's long nnd strenuous fight for adequate postal facilities, and will be a welcome move to bot h the of- »l lals of the local poetotflce and to the business men of Atlanta. As outlined by Supervising Architect J. Knox Taylor during his recent visit to Atlanta, :he building will lie Iso feet square, and will be four rtorles In height, the entire first tloor being oc cupied by the postofflee, thus giving almost twice the present accommoda tions. In the main work room there will be 20,000 square feet of available working spare. The most surprising statement which Mr. Taylor made during his recent visit was that at the present rate of Increase of postal receipts of Attantu It would probably be necessary to abandon this building, so far as the postofflee depart ment is concerned, within the next live or six years, and erect anothci and more commodious structure, covering at least an entire block Hnd situated somewhere near the Terminal (Ration. The policy has been adopted by the government that In the future one- story pOetofflces will be built, which shall be plain but utilitarian structures of brlek and steel, and the building soon to be put up In Atlanta will prob- nbly be the last postofflee of classical design to be constructed by the govern ment. As soon aa the supervising architect can get all the working plans In readi ness he will call for bids for the entire structure and the local officials are hopeful of seeing the contractors take charge hot later than January 1, In which case they hope to be In their new quarters by the spring of 1909. That looks like a long way off, but the relief wll, be nonetheless welcome when It comes. ‘IRC/NASA DEM0CRAT,’ SA YS T. C. CRENSHA W Candidate For Railroad Commission Says Convention Had No Right to De clare the Nominee. The following card haa been received from Hon. T. C. Crenshaw, candidate for railroad commissioner: To the Editor of The Georgian: In the Issue of The Journal of the 6th Inst, that paper says: "Thomas <:. Crenshaw, of Cherokee county, a form er railroad commissioner, has Inde pendently announced his candidacy against X. o. McLendon, the nominee of the state Democratic party." All I ask of the press of the state Is fair treatment. It la unfair to say I mu an Independent candidate for rail road commissioner. 1 am ready and willing at any time to make an oath that 1 never In my whole life voted against the nominees of the Democratic party, und that I never dodged a vote. My party has several times put me In position where I had to vote against my convictions, hut I took my medicine, inarched to the polls and voted for the Democratic nominee without making a face. I now beg to ask the question: 'an all of thosa who are throwing stones at me, and branding me an In dependent candidate for railroad com missioner. hold up their right hand and take the same oath? Please do me.the justice to read my announcement, over my own signa ture, and see If I did not say I was a Democratic candidate for railroad com missioner. I have nowhere said I was an Independent candidate, and axlstlng conditions do not Justify my being branded aa such. I have served as alderman and as mayor of LaOrange, (Ja, two terms aa member of the legislature from Troup county, collector of Internal rev enue for the district of Georgia, general agent of the Central railroad and rail road commissioner. My records In each of these positions are legitimate subjects of criticism, and I am ready to face them when the lime light Is turned on me. 1 ash, however, to lie treated fairly and not misrepre sented. I hold—and the facta will sus tain me—that the Macon convention exceeded Its authority when It under took to nominate a candidate for rail road commissioner. The state Democratic executive com mlttec met and provided for the noml nation of candidates for United States senator, governor, secretary of state, treasurer, comptroller general, commls. sloner of agriculture, Commissioner of education, prison commissioner. Jus tires of the supreme court. Judges of the superior court and solicitor general In the circuits where there were vacan clea, by prlmury election, to be held on August 22, 1906. Although the law-, at the time of the primary election, on August 22, required a railroad commissioner to be elected ut the general election In October thereafter, no provision was made for the people to express their choice for a railroad commissioner, and they did not so express themselves. Every per. son. therefore, can vote aa he pleases In the October election In the selection railroad commissioner. All that the Macon convention could have done within the powers delegated to It by the people was to recommend the elec tlon of Mr. Mcl^endon, which they did not do, but nominated him straight out as a candidate for railroad com mlsaloner. I contend that those voting In the primary election on August 22, 1906, are not bound by the action of the Macon convention, when It usurped the (lower It did by nominating a can dldate for railroad commissioner, when the selection of a candidate for rail road commissioner was not an Issue In the primary election, at the time the delegates were selected. It appears that a candidate for railroad commis sioner was agreed on In Atlanta, advance of the meeting of the Macon convention and afterwards nominated by the Macon convention. I believe the people of Georgia will, at the ballot box In October next, sustain me In my contention, which la that the delegates to the Macon convention only had the authority to recommend the election of a candidate for railroad commls sloner, but hnd no authority to nomi nate one, and thereby bind the Demo cratic party by such nomination. Very respectfully, T. C. CRENSHAW. Atlanta, On., Sepl. 7. KING OF HOTEL DEAD BE A TS SA YS THA T HE IS A SUICIDE New York, Sept. 7.—Although a man frequently signing himself John T. Hardin, and known as the "King of Orafl," otherwise the "prince of hotel beats," announced hln suicide, hotel keeper* In thl* city who were victim ised by him, today do not believe that he Is dead. Despite the doubt, how ever, three hotels have written In red Ink across hla accounts, "Committed suicide." The National Hotel Keepers' Asso ciation haa received from him a vale dictory address, dated Detroit, and written on the letter paper of the Wayne hotel, of that city. It glvea the list of his victims, and according to hi* record he defrauded thirty-two Innkeepers and private citizens In all parts of the United States during the month of August. He asked that hla real name be kept secret to save hla wife and mother embarrassment. HE KNE W CASS IE CHADWICK TO THE TUNE OF $800,000 NEGRO LIFTED PURSE AND THEN 'FESSED UP Mrs. A. 8. Elder, of 278 North Houle ▼art), was moving Thursday afternoon and employed several negroes to assist her. One of them let the others do the heavy lifting while he moved pocketbook containing 141 from a bed room to the back yard. The pocketbook was missed In a tew minutes and Jesse Matthewe, the only negro who had left the houee, was sus pected. He denied his guilt to officer Hollingsworth, who was called In, hut after being placed tinder arrest, decid ed to tell a straight story. The pocket- nook, stripped of Its contents, was re covered from the weeds, where Mat thews had thrown It. and the missing currency was dug front beneath a pile of dirt near a negro cabin close by. Matthews was sent to Jail Saturday morning to await the action of the city court. QUARANTINE RAISED! NO YELLOW FEVER Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 7.'—Ur. O. II Irion, state health officer of Louisiana, haa wired Stnte Health Officer Sanders, of Alabama, as follows: "Twenty-third day and no new cases, quarantine raised; fumigation com pleted." So far there haa been only two cases of yellow fever In the South, and It boa not spread. No rase has been re ported In New Orleans, and the Ala bama health authorlllea are confident yellow fever will not visit this state this year. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 7.—James \V. Friend, the Pittsburg millionaire bank er, who Is being sued by the widow of \\\ Jutte for. the recovery of 15,000.000 worth of the Jutte estate, out of which, she claims, Friend and hla aide partner, Frank N. Hoffstott, have defrauded her, was on the stand In his own defense yesterday. Mr. Friend admitted having had earn est conversation and business dealings with the "Queen of Finance," Cassl^ Chadwick, who Is now In the Colum bus, Ohio, penitentiary. At one time In the examination Judge Shafer so far forgot his official dignity as to give vent to something like a snicker. "You knew Mrs. Chadwick?" began Attorney Wlel, In a cooing tone. "I tlld," snapped the millionaire banker with a grimace, probably remembering his (800,000, and It was here that Judge Shafer nlmoat forgot hla dignity by laughing. INTER-URBAN LINE MA Y HELP TO BRING TWO CENT FARES The new Inter-urban line from At-to remove any commissioner tor re- lanta to Macon may solve the two-cent passenger fare problem. Until then, however, the two-cent passenger fares will still be In vogue and distant future according to the line-up of the presert commission.’ Railroad <'.on miss loner Brown has several months yet to serve. Com missioner Mct-endon, when he goes Into office, If he defeats Crenshaw, will Imve lo play a lone hand on this score. The present commission has already gone uu record as opposed to this hang*, and the question arises, can the Incoming governor find authority fusing tu put In effect the two-cent fares. A two-cent rate la In effect now between Marietta and Atlanta, the home -f one of the commissioners, and Its efficient secretary. Colonel George Montgomery. This la due to the trolley line from Atlanta to Marietta. The dlHtance la seventeen and a half miles and the fare on both the electric line and the Western and Atlantic railroad la 35 cents, or even two cents a mile. The new Inter-urban line from At lanta lo Macon may help solve this problem. The 20-mlle electric line from Augusta to Aiken has a 25-rent fare, or a cent and a quarter per mile. REBELS IN CUBA INSIST ON PALMMTTING He Fears That Resignation Would Bring Reign of Anarehv. CHICAGO SOCIETY WOMAN HIDES IN NIGHT CLOTHES TO SA VE LIVES AT A FIRE By MANUEL CALVO. H|>eelal Untile—Copyright. Havana, Cuba, Bept. 7.—Word confidently expected from Pino Guerra today that he haa Joined Aabert In Ha vana and Guzman In Santa Clara In agreeing to permit General Menocol an opportunity to bring about peace, by agreeing to ari armistice. General 5tenocol today expressed the utmost confidence that hla efforts would be crowned with success. Others, how ever, are not so hopeful. It Is feared the rebels will Insist upon the retlremen of President Palma, and I have high authority for stating that Palma will under no circumstances consent even to give such a proposi tion consideration; not that Palma would not be perfectly willing to re tire, If hla retirement meant permanent !>eace for the country, but he thinks t not only would not mean peace, but It would mean anarchy, and ultimate annexation by the United States.
