OF DROWNS IN LAKE; BODY NOT FOUND Port Arthur, Ont., Oct. 25.—While on a duck-shooting expedition In the White Fish country, Mayor Charles A. Sneyder. of Dayton, Ohio, was drowned. A search Is being made for the body today, but up to noon no trace of It had been found. At this point the lake is very deep and It Is feared the body will never be recovered. . A party of men and a complete out' fit of grappling Irons and hooka was taken to the scene of the accident In a special train. Early in the morning yesterday Sneyder and several of his companions went out In a small boat on a lake near cainp to get some ducks. The party returned hurriedly toward evening, re porting that the boat-containing the mayor had been accidentaly overturned. RIGHT TO RAISE RATES DENIED BY COMMISSION BY A quiet, or at least safe, Christmas so far as explosives are concerned, will be Atlanta's lot this year. Friday Mayor 'Woodward wllt lssue an - order forbidding the. sale -of, big, dangerous catmon''crackers and wljl put the fireworks people on notice that they had Just as well, not count on the At lanta trade when placing their orders (or this class of goods. Even the tame fireworks will have to be confined strictly to the home prem ises. Roman candles, skyrockets and even the eat-out-of-your-hand variety of firecrackers will have to be burned up In the back lot. This order of the mayor will be prompted not only by ordinary caution to prevent the injury of Atlantans by the firecrackers, but because he thinks that with the unsettled state of affairs now prevailing Atlanta should have as quiet a holiday season as It Is possible to obtain. GOVERNOR TERRELL IE FROM TRIP Oovernor Terrell was at his desk In the rapitol Thursday, he and Mrs. Ter- tell arriving from Savannah at 7:25 Thursday morning. The governor enjoyed his ten-days' vacation very much, especially the hunt on St. Catherine's Island, where he bagged a fine deer. The party killed four deer and the several days on the Island they lived largely on venison. Major Wilkins' yacht, the Jessie, rode out the Saturday night storm safely, anchored behind-St. Catherine. The governor stated that the wind was very high, and for a while they were a little Anxious. Not until Tuesday did he know of the great anxiety felt for the safety of himself and Mrs. Terrell. A passing vessel asked for the governor, and when asked what was wanted, said ibat there were many people In Georgia anxious about him Just then. fit. Catherine's Island Is owned by a rich German family, and deer are as numerous on It as rabbits. The petition of Charles A. Wicker- sham, president and general manager of the Atlanta and West Point rail- road, to add four miles to Its mileage system because of the use of the Atlan- tn Belt Line, was denied by the railroad commission Thursday ifiorntng. After hearing the protest of the mer chants along the line who would be affected by the proposed addition of the four miles to the haul and the reasons of the officials for asking for the same at the session Wednesday, the commls- Sion took the matter under advisement. . Thursday morning the commission unanimously declined the petition of President Wlckersham. This decision means that no advance In freight rates will be permitted, and the merchants and general shippers along the line will not be called upon to pay from 6 to 15 per cent above the prcient tariff under which the road operates. What Road Wanted. Merchants, bustnesswnd professional men along the line of the Atlanta and West Point railroad have risen In arms to combat an effort of that road to odd four miles to Its mileage table, thus In creasing freight rates from 5 to 15 per cent. The initial hearing on this matter took place Wednesday before the rail road commission, through the petition of President and General Manager Charles A. Wlckersham, seeking the right of the Increased mileage. Clil- sens from LaGrange, Hogansvllle. Grantvllle, Moreland, Kewnan, Palmet to, Falrburn and other stations along the line were present with attorneys, to enter protest against the proposition. The West Point asks for this In creased mileage right on the plea that It Is entitled to It through use of the Atlanta Belt Line from Oakland City to Its Inman Park terminals. This dis tance Is about four miles and would consequently Increase the mileage from Atlanta to all points along the line to West Point Just that much. The protest Is based on the ground that no necessity exists for this Inv crease because the Atlanta and West Point owns trackage rights to Nelson street In the center of the city, and that terminal facilities could be se cured from either the Southern or Central, making the use of the belt en tirely unnecessary. It was brought out that this pro posed mileage would add from 6 to 15 per cent to the freight rates, the gen eral average being 10 per cent. The attorney for the merchants stated that It was only a clever ruse on the part of the Atlanta and West Point to raise Its freight tariff above that put on It by the commission. He demonstrated that the final effect would be to .Increase not only.’the local rates, but.would add 81 to the T:ost of every car load from through points. The Increase to ship pers along the route would mean thou-j sands of dollars In a year. President Wlckersham presented the following tkble of revised mileage and asked’-the sanction .of the commission tb'make It effective: East Point .. 10.61 Terra Cotta .. ..11,47 College Park 12.48 Red Oak .. ...........16.42 Stonewall'.'. ..... .. .. .-.19.82 Falrburn .. ..22.90 Palmetto 30.21 Coweta.. .’... ..

It was also contend ed that road desired revision of Its mileage table to make the charge of 82 for switching cars over the belt line. The protest against this ruse of the road was signed by practically every merchant along the line. <‘MKI00000000O004>00000 000000 o o O MISS FENNELL WAS HELD O BY TWO KIDNAPERS.

Arthur Ragsdale, n negro, went to trial Thursday morning In the criminal division of the superior court on a murderdu-the- tint-degree charge, and ended by being sent to the state firm at Mlltedgevllle for seven years for voluntary manslaughter. This decided change was brought about after the state's witnesses had been eiatu , he created.l on every one In the court room. And when he got up out of his chair and closed his statement with an appeal to the praying for forgiveness. Solicitor Illll had a short conference with the counsel for the defeuse, as a result of which the negro agreed to pleai* — slaughter. In consideration of a recommendation of mercy from the solicitor and the statement that the negro was In bad health.

NEGROES' DEFENSE WILL FIGHT EVERY T IN CASE Thursday had bsen set for ths trial of ths negroes Indicted for complicity In the killing of County Policeman Jim Heard, on September 24, and when the tint .cake, that of Alex Walker, waa called, ao great a cloud—dark cloud— of witnesses packed the gallery that It made that side of the court room look stormy. At a meeting of the twenty-odd law yers representing the forty-odd prison ers Involved In the affair It waa decid ed to try the caaea separately, and If this Is done the trials will take up a week or two of the court'a time. The whole thing has gone over until next Tuesday, on account of the quash-, Ing of the Indictment against the Walker negro on the ground that the meani of killing Mr. Heard and the ex act part which each prisoner took was not definitely enough staled. Judge Roan sustained a demurrer argued by J. D. Kilpatrick In the Walker case, alleging several grounds In which the Indictment was defective, but at Ita meeting tomorrow the grand jury will probably remedy the defects In thla case and also In the fifty-nine others mentioned In the same Indlct- men, ao as to make valid any sentence which a jury may find. From the way the fight has begun. It appears that the handling of these cases wJJI be a long-drawn-out pro ceeding, as many legal points present themselves, behind which the defend ants can hide, and at the conference of legal representativea Thursday It la un derstood that they decided not a waive anything, except possibly the formal arraignment*. 00000000000000300000000000 0 o 0 8UN8HINE PUTS VIGOR O 0 INTO OCTOBER AIR. 0 O 1 0 Fine day today!
