TRUST BUSTERS' READY TD MOVE ON, OIL OCTOPUS Attorney General to Decide on Date of the Hostili ties. ATLANTA IS VERY DRY; IT MAY BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE SALOONS OPEN WILL MAKE FIGHT FOR PROHIBITION "A great mas* meeting of the cltlxens of Atlanta I* called for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Wealoyan Memorial Tabernacle. Mat ters of tha gravest Importance will be discussed at the meeting. Our city's moral standard needs to he lifted higher. "Let every loving, loyal, patriotic cltlsen be present at that meeting tomorrow (Friday) morning at 10 o'clock. Place, Wesleyan Memorial Tabernacle.” The foregoing announcement la mad* by the officers of the Anti- Saloon League of Georgia It Is the beginning of a new campaign against saloons In Atlanta. The Rev. J. C. Solomon, slate secretary of the League, In answer to a question as tn whether a direct prohibition campaign would be Inaugurat ed at the meeting, replied that It would not. "A committee will be appointed, however," he said, "to go before the mayor and council and ask that none of the saloon licenses repealed Wednesday be reissued." Council Revokes All municipal ownership WJUllUi i\evtmcs nil INTEREST IS UNABATED Licenses for Selling Liquor. Atlanta Is as dry aa the Sahara des ert. Not even an oasis In the way of same kindly restaurant where, “after hours" the parched throat waa wont to be wet In the ahade of the sheltering palms, may dlepense a spirituous beverage. The only hope held out to the burning eye of those accustomed to seek solace In the cup la the mlrage-llke promise of a renewal of licenses—and that Is five days', travel. At the adjournt d reeel on of the city fathers Wednesday aftfrnoon every liquor dealer'* license in the city waa revoked by a unanimous vote. As ap peered exclusively in the evenlrg edi tion of The Georgian. The vote on the report of the police committee, which suggested that the licenses be revoked, was taken after a battle lasting two and a half hours. Every seat In the council chamber waa taken when the gavel rapped the eeeslon to order and before the report of the police committee came up not even standing room wa* available. Overflow Meeting. An overflow meeting was hrld In the office of the building Inspector adjoin ing the council room, and there saloon keepers and restaurant men awaited with emllee and tears the decision of the council. Smiles, first, because of the strong speeches against the adop tion of the report. Then tears as the avalanche of public opinion swept the city council and tii# report wa* carried In a landslide manner. What will be the outcome, I* a mat ter of mere surmise. The enthusiastic anti-saloon men declare that It Is the first step toward again making Atlanta a prohibition city. The saloon men are confident of getting thelt licenses back on October 2, when they will appenr at an open meeting of the special Commit tee appointed to linen to the argu ments for and against the granting of licenses.

Palma’s resignation will go to congress tomorrow, but It will not be acted on for the preaent at leaat, and there will be a chance for further nominations. A committee has been appointed by the moderates to carry on these negotia tions and have communicated their Ideas to Secretary Taft. It 1* understood that they are willing to meet with a committee of liberals and come ns near to an agreement as possible, and then submit the disputed points to the Americans. They have receded from their demands that the rebels disarm before the beginning of negotiations. Taft on Situation. Mr. Taft made the situation pretty clear to both sides. He said: "The moderate* determined to force American Intervention, leaving affaire In our hands. President Palma chose to regard our suggestions ae a demand and he rejected them emphatically. To. day we acquainted Alfredo Zayas, the liberal,leader, with the situation and he undertook to Induce his associates to consent to the original proposition of the moderates, namely, that the Insur gents lay down their arms and submit the entire controversy to the Ameri can commission. But the rebel com mander* and men In the field suspected Insincerity upon the part of the gov ernment and declined. •The negro Insurgents especially In sisted on retaining their arms until peace was assured. Zayas' report Is Indicative of future trouble with the lawless element of the rebels. I feel certain that a settlement of the trouble Is possible only along the lines sug gested by u»” No Foolishness Allowed. He aleo made It plain that when United States troops were landed It would mean bualnees and no foolish ness would be tolerated. Whatever the outcome of the negotiations which will begin today, there I* fear that the rebel republic Is In for a period of brigand age, with which the government will be powerless to deal. A goodly proportion of the rebel rank and file can not be controlled by their leaders. They will break Into bands nnd engage In a career of outlawry: This la espe cially true of the negroes, who will be during every moment of hla absence and If necessary can Issue'orders with the same accuracy and facility that he could If he were In the white house.

What Rtbels Declare. "The situation," said Pino Guerra, the rebel leader, "Is nearer to us than hitherto, and my opinion Is that Cuba will never have another revolution. The ending of this one will prove to the world that the Cubans can preserve and defend the liberties guaranteed to them by their constitution and the acts of congress, and can preserve the peace vouchsafed to them by the American people. This revolution Is an evidence of our sincerity with the Ameriacn people, and the result should be con sidered by them to be a triumph for liberty.
