J, Bryan arrived here at noon to
day. A delegation of prominent
Democrats met him at the,station,
Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, tak
ing the lead in greeting him. A
public reception at Convention
ball followed.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. IS.—"Our Jury
li the nation; our proof the record of
the Republican party; our witness
Theodore Roosevelt; our attorney Mr.
Bryan, of Nebraska.”
In these tvords Colonel Henry Wat-
terson erystallzed the sentiment of the
great gathering ot Kentucky folk who
gathered ut the Armory last night to
give an enthusiastic reception to Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. Twelve thou-
laml people applauded his declaration.
Rscogniztd as Chieftain.
"I recognise as our chieftain In this
approaching conflict the Hon. William
Jennings Brynn, of Nebraska,” said
Colonel Watterson. "We purpose to
reform, not to revolutionize the gov
ernment. We purpose to re-establish
Democratic institutions in th* nation's
capital; returning ti the voters what,
belongs to the voters. We purpose uT
drive from the floor of the senate those
who sit there not as servants of the
people, but os corporation counsel. We
purpose to drive from the floor of the
house the speaker and his rules com
mittee who have made an autocracy of
that body. In a word we purpose to re.
adjust the lost balance between the peo
ple and their lawmakers.”
Mr. Bryan was accorded a welcome
that was as hearty os It was demon-
•tratlve. He took occasion to state
plainly his position regarding owner
ship of rullronds by the government,

chance to understand him, he read n

He declared ho had nothing to take

that regulation Instead of government
ownership would solve Che problem. He
was of the opinion, however, that
regulation would not accomplish the
desired end.
Ovation For Bryan.
There was a great outburst of cheers
when Mr. Bryan oaserted that when
ever he saw a danger threatening the
People lie had spoken out without ask

*'hat the effect might bo on him. He
praised President Roosevelt for bring

HERE ARE BRYAN'S VIEWS
ON OWNERSHIP OF ROADS
”1 have been brought to regard public ownership as the ultimate
remedy by railroad history, which Is as familiar to you as to jne. 1 havo
tif.rn nlmi <lll—<itf Mill nils Iiinltlnn, -TltiOTWstf Hirnifru’ri tin patient
with those wholRJWgftrnd where! stood'for years, urging strict regula
tion and hoping that that would be found feasible. I still advocate strict
Fegulutlon and shall rejoice if experience proves that that regulation
can be made effective.”
”1 expect that those Democrats who oppose government ownership
will accompany their declaration'against It with the assertion that they
will favor government ownership whenever they are convinced that the
country must choose between government ownership of the railroad and
railroad ownership of the government.”
. “I have tried to make it clear that I expressed my own opinion and I
have never sought to compel the acceptance of iny opinion by any one
else Reserving the light to do my own thinking, I respect the right
of every one else to do his thinking."
"If the Democrats believe that the next platform should contain a
plank In favor of government ownership, then that plank ought to he In
cluded. If the Democrats think It ought not to contain such a plank,
then such a plank ought not to be Included. ‘I havo spoken for myself,
and for myself only, and I did not know how the suggestion would be
received. I am now prepared to confess to you that It has been received
more favorably than I expected."
"I have contended always that platforms should be made by the vo
ters. 1 have In my speeches and through my paper Insisted that the
platform should be the expression of the wishes of the voters of the
party and not be the arbitrary production of one man or a few leaders.”
”1 Ihlnk I may also reasonably expect the Democrats who oppose
government ownership will say that If government ownership must
come, they prefer a system whereby the state may be preserved and the
centralizing influence be reduced to a minimum. Such a plan I have

Nine girls and not a single boy. Not
even twins or triplets. Just girls.
Has the stork's assortment become
reduced to girl babies, or has the wise
old bird decided to boycott boys?
Maybe he stayed up late the night be
fore and grabbed nine babies nearest
the door when he started to Atlanta
Tuesday. But he certainly did make
a bad break. Nine girls. Count ’em—
nine.
Just take another look at the birth
list published In The Georgian Wednes
day afternoon and here reproduced. It's
the same old story* ail the way down
the list.
Just stop and think it over. If this
thing keeps up, what will Atlanta look
like In about seventeen years? Oh.
yes, of course It would be mighty fine
i few men. They would feel as
as the one man at the summer
r es’ort. But who will buy Ice cream
soda and theater tickets for those
debutantes of 1821? Will the fathers
have to dig for money or will Atlanta
be forced to Import a few thousand
likely young men, warranted city-
broke, sound and fit for a lady to
drive? and who Is going to earn the
money to support nil those girls? Even
Atlanta couldn't use an unlimited num
ber of hello girls and stenographers.
I* there to be another feminine Inva
sion? '
What shall the nine young ladles be
named? (That’s easy. The Georgian
suggests that they be given the names
of the nine muses of Greek mythology,
the Insplrers of music snd song and
other things. The proud parents may
hold a caucus and divide the names
among themselves. The mythological
editor says the Greek ladles mentioned
were named Clio, Calliope, Polyhymnia,
Euterpe, Terpsichore, Erato, 'Melpo
mene, Thalia, and Urania.
But that stork must have been on a
drunk. There’s no other way to ac
count for It. He hat been furnishing
an annual supply of babies long enough
now to know better. He ought to have
some respect for the law of averages.
But maybe he’s like a bum baseball
umpire and will try to make things
even In the next Inning.
So don't lose hope.
Mrs. Belle Reid, former stewardess
of the Soldiers* h unc, threw a bomb

Her testimony regarding the conduct

Havana, Sept. 12.—That the arrival
here of the United State's cruiser Den
ver, and the fact that other American
warships are on the way, either to
Cuba or within hailing distance of the
Island, Is taken here to mean that the
United States Is preparing to Intervene
and restore order In Cuba. The foreign
clement, especially those Interested In
augar and tobacco growing, earnestly
hope that this Is true, while a ma
jority of Cubans fear It.
The late developments make It ap
parent that nothing short of the sur
render of Palma and his government
or American Intervention will restore
order, and It Is doubtful If either will
for a time at all events. Should Palma
abdicate there would be certain to be
n light sooner or later among the lead
ers of the present movement as to who
should have power.
Exciting rumors are that the rebels
of Santa Clara and Plnar del Rio prov
inces are marching upon Havana and
will concentrate their forces and attack
the city. The wooden railroad bridge
at Taotaco, near Consolaclon, was
burned by the rebels yesterday. Pino
Guerra expects now to burn the rail
way stations and to blow up the
bridges and suspend traffle.
Loyalists Are Beaten.
News reaches here today that the
rebels have looted the city ot Guinea,
which la In the wealthiest agricultural
district of the province. It Is reported
that there was a desperate light before
the loyalists retreated, but that they
were overwhelmed.
News of the same kind comas from
Guyamaja, an Important town on the
borders of Plnar del Rio. Three trains
have returned to Havana this morning
having found It Impossible to cross the
Clabazar bridge, which tz burning. All
the telegraph lines belonging to the
company have been cut. The govern
ment lines have alee been cut.
The manager of the Western railroad
called on Secretary Montalvo this
morning and asked military protection.
Montalvo told him It could not be giv

were needed In Hnvana. The manager
Is urging the British minister to take
action.
A bill will be Introduced In congress
tomorrow by Speaker Andreade,
It will surely pass, authorising
government to suspend the newspapers,

thority for employing foreigners In
the army and to expel from the Island
all. foreigners who may be considered
obnoxious.
U. 8. TRDOPS READY
TO PROTECT PALMA
Washington, Sept. 12.—President
Roosevelt’s course does not contem
plate Intervention at this time. It Is
positively stated here today. Should
Intervention become necessary In order
to preserve Cuba from anarchy, he
will have the means at hand. Other
vessels now In Santo Domingan waters
or at Hampton Roads will probably fol
low those already on the scene.
The cruiser Denver Is now anchored
In Havana harbor, almost within
stone's throw of Palma's palace. In
case the personal safety of President
Palma should be threatened, he could
be taken aboard the vessel within a few
minutes' time. Commander Colwell, In
charge of the Denver, has been In'
strueted to place his vessel Immediately
at the disposal of President Palma,
should the latter request It.
He will, of course, also afford alt
possible protection to American citizens
In the city ot Havana. In an emer
gency ha will be permitted to land blue
Jacketa for tbla purpoae without wait
ing to communicate with Washington.
Similar course will be pursued by the
Marietta at Cienfugos, where she Is
expected to arrive today, and by the
Columbia and Dixie at Guantanamo.

Albany Cotton Ex
porter Roasts the
Exchanges.
Washington, Sept. 12.—The Inter
state commerce commission continued
the hearing on the application of
Southern roads for suspension of the
20 days' notice requirement In the mat
ter of changing rates on export cotton.
Captain A. R. Churchill, of Savan
nah, head of the Churchill line of
steamships, was before the commission
much of the time. He manifested any
thing but sympathy for the rnilronrls
and their domination of tho cotton rata
situation, but was with them In tho de
sire that the thirty days' notice regula
tion should not be enforced. He was
closely questioned by the commission
ers and the railroad men.
Sam Brown, of Albany, Ga., a cotton
exporter, during the course of a state
ment, was asked about his relations
to the New York cotton exchange.
"They're Just as small as possible,”
he replied.
"Why Is that?"
"Because the business of the cotton
exchange la to skin everybody."
"Skin who—raiser or buyer?"
"Either, both—anybody," replied
Brown; "the grower, the merchant, tho
manufacturer, the apeculator. But then
anybody that loses on the game de
serves It."
J. D. Moss, of Athens, Ga., another
export merchant, opposed the thirty-
day notice requirement.
Judge Edward Baxter, representing
roads In the cotton territory, declared
all his roads were ready to give any
notice required—20, 60 or 90 days. It
was brought out that about 12 per cent
of the export cotton goes to sea hy th«
torts of Baltimore, New York and
loston and Philadelphia, tho railroads
to those ports, far distant from the
cotton growing section, making rates
that take this large share of the crop
to them.
T, P, A. TARES UP
ID INVESTIGATES
DEATH OF GliFFIN
WRECK RESPONSIBILITY
NOT OFFICIALLY FIXED
BY W. & A. RAILROAD
Regular schedules have been re
sumed over the Western and Atlantic
railroad after the wreck at Ringgold
Wednesday, the most disastrous In the
history of the road, when seven ^train
men were killed and one was Injured.
The tracks were cleared Wednesday
afternoon, and since that time all trains
have been coming In on time.
Even during the hours while the
tracks were blocked passenger trains
were not materially delayed. They
were detoured over the tracks of the
Southern from Chattanooga to Dal
ton, and none came Into Atlanta as
much as an hour late.
The bodies of all those killed In the
smash have been tent to their respec
tive homes. Only one body, that of
Engineer C. W. Fleher, was brought to
Atlanta. The bodies of the others have
been sent to their former homes, as
follows: Engineer C. H. Clements, to
Tunnel Hill; Conductor T. J. White-
held, to Kingston; Fireman J. W. Kln-
namon. to TIMen; Fireman W. M.
Slaughter, to Ellerslle; Brakeman W.
B. Skelton, to Kenneeaw; Apprentice
Fireman Walter Smith, to Winchester,
Tenn. _ _ . • .
Brakeman Homer R. Robertson, who
as pretty badly bruised up. but saved
hts life by Jumping from train No. g,
was not seriously Injured, and was able
gf to his home at Kenneeaw.
Conductor W. D. Adams, of train No.
I, was fortunate enough to be on the
rear of hlk train and was the only one
to escape Injury.
Both the engines were badly broken
up In the collision and about five cars
ot each freight train were more or less
badly damaged.
The officials have not thua far been
able to place exactly the responsibility,
but It seems that the smash-up was
caused by Engineer Clements, who had
only been In charge of an engine thir
teen days, forgetting his orders and
running past Ringgold, which had been
designated as the point for meeting
train No. 12. It Is thought that Brake-
man Robertson had been sent forward
by Conductor Adams to remind him of
his error when the smash came. Rob
ertson had Just made his way, through
the dark, to the engine when he caught
sight of No. II ahead and Jumped.
A report Is expected from Conductor
Adams Thursday afternoon.
Funeral of Engineer Fisher,
Engineer C. W. Fisher, of this city,
who was killed Wednesday In the
Western and Atlantic wreck at Ring-
gold, wilt be buried Friday morning at
10 o'clock at Oakland cemetery. Fu
neral will be held at the Baptist Tab
ernacle, from which his body will be
carried to the cemetery accompanied
by the Central Lodge of Odd Fellows
and Brotherhood of Locomotive Engln
eers.

Hperlsl to The Georgian.
Augusta. Oa., Sept. 12.—Captain Jeff
, Thomas returned to the city yes
terday from New York, where he has
been for the past three weeks spending
his summeV vacation, and he reports
having a very pleasant time with his
brother, Dr. Julian P. Thomas, when
they were 10,000 fee: above the earth
In the large balloon with which his
brother has been making such wonder
ful flights.
He declares that after the night trip
he could hardly wait for the trip

he and his brother were 10,000 feet
above the earth. Dr. Thomas took
charge of the balloon. He declares that
It Is the "king of sports."
While they were up In the air sev
eral thousand feet, Mr. Thomas says
that he was surprised to note the
noises of the chickens, birds, dogs and
cows. He said that these noises were
about all he could hear, and when they
reached the altitude of 10,000 feet he
could not hear them, but at one time,
when at that height, he heard the puffs
of an engine several miles away.
Dr. Julian P. Thomas has accepted
an Invitation to be at the Cronria-
Caroltna fair which will be held here
from October 29 to November 2, and
he trill make an ascension In his large
