MO DEPOT
WITHOUTANV
RESULTS
COMMISSION, AFTER HEARING
LETTERS READ, APPOINTS A
COMMITTEE TO SECURE FUR
THER INFORMATION.
According to the sentiment and view of
the state depot commission, which met
Thursday at the governor’s office the
new union depot resolved itself into a
beautiful winged vision which flapped its
pinions and flew far away over the hills
of hope, for the commission said flatly
that It didn’t believe It would ever get
the Southern railway into any agreement,
•nd also alluded sarcastically to President
Samuel Spencer's coquettishness.
In order, however, t-at the burden might
rest upon other shoulders than those of
the committee, it was decided that the
commission should go as far as it could
in corralling President Spencer. On mo
tion. therefore, of Senator J. F. Cann
the governor was asked to Immediately
approach the city council and ascertain
whether the necessary portion of Wail
Street would be given for the proposed
new structure, and also to learn from the
authorities of the Georgia railroad wheth
er free access to the new depot might be
had from the east, over the right of way
and property of that company.
. The committee was In session nearly
three hours. Governor Candler presided,
the others present being Senator John N.
Holder. Senator J. F. Cann. Representa
tive Thomas Egleston. Representative W.
A. Knowles and Special Attorney E. T.
Brown, of the state road. M. T. LaHatte
and J. Frank Beck were also pres
ent. representing the city council, and
City Engineer R. M. Clayton dropped In
before the meeting was concluded.
A letter from President Spencer, dated
June 14th. furnished fcod for by far the
greater part of the day's discussion. Mr.
Spencer began by finding numerous ob
jections to the plans of Architect Brad
ford Gilbert, but said In conclusion that,
while his road would expressly not as
sume the public responsibility for the
erection of the proposed structure, yet
he was willing to jcin the other roads and
become the tenant of the state provided
certain conditions were carried out.
Governor Candler read two letters to
the commission, he having prepared them
as answers to the communication of Mr.
Spencer, and suggested that one or the
other be sent. One letter dealt in detail
with the objections and provisos of the
railroad official, while the other stated
briefly that the commission would lay his
letter before the next session of the gen
eral assembly and at the same time rec
* ommend that the state immediately pro
ceed to erect a union depot on the present
site, leaving it entirety to the railroads
whetner they preferred to be the tenants
of the state or of each other.
After some consideration, however,
neither of the governor s letters was sent,
but the governor was requested to secure
certain ttformation.princlpally with a view
of answering some of President Spencer's
provisions -- t
**l don't think it will do any good." said
the governor, reflectively.
"Nor I.” said Mr. Brown. "I ha« about
loot heart."
as we must be able to say to the gen-
eral assembly that we have dong every-
• thing tn our power,” suggested Mr. Cann.
"Mr. Spencer is coquetting art th us.”
observed the governor.
"First, he wanted only a ground plan.”
•aid Mr. Holder; "now he demands detail
ed plans and specifications, accompanied
by bids. Even if we got these—which we
have no money to secure—how do we know
he will not ask something else then?”
**l am of the opinion that we won't
get the depot,” said the governor, “under
this bin.”
ROBINSON IS V’NDICATED
OF ROBBERY CHARGE
Spencer Robinson, the young man ar
rested on suspicion of being connected
with the robbery of a room tn the Colon
ade hotel, has been released. He showed
he had absolutely nothing to do with'it.
A lady's room was entered and her pock
etbook stolen.
The man who took It was found, but the
matter was settled, the young man's fa

cupied a room just across the hail from
the one robbed, and in some way suspi
cion fell on him. He has been completely
cleared of the charge now. however.

REPUmITITE
COMMITTEE TO
MEETJOON
A COMPLETE STATE TICKET MAY
BE PLACED IN THE FIELD, AL
THOUGH THIS IS NOT
SETTLED.
The Republican state executive commit
tee will not meet later than August. Al
though this much is known, it is not
known what action will be taken by the
party relative to putting out a state ticket.
Prominent Republicans seen Satur
day said they were unable to say what
would be done.
It Is said, however, by those who are In
a position to know that unless there is
considerable dissatisfaction over the party
nominees of the Democrats the Republi
cans will not take a hand in state politics
this year.
Two candidates are spoken of as con
gressional possibilities. They are J. C.
Jenkins, who may oppose Colonel Leoni
das Livingston In this district, and Colo
nel J. M. Wilkinson, of Valdosta, who
may again enter the race against Con
gressman W. O. Brantley tn the eleventh
district. Colonel Wilkinson made the race
‘ against Congressman Brantley In 1898. and
was badly defeated, but it is claimed by
hta friends that If he makes the race this
year he will receive the support of Dem
ocrats who favor protection and expan
• aton, which will give him additional
strength. Colonel Wilkinson was formerly
a Democrat, and joined the Republican
forces in 1866. He is now a prominent law
yer In Valdosta. *
The district committee of the fifth dis
trict has not yet been called, and it is
got yet known when it will be held.
BARRIERS TO CANAL
WILL BE WIPED AWAY
WASHINGTON. July 4.—The negotia
tions for the treaty between the United
States and Colombia which will acquire
the right to build the Panama canal, will
begin In about one week.
Minister Concha, of Colombia, conferred
with Secretary Hay on the preliminary
of the agreement. Mr. Hay will be out
of the city for the next few days and on
his return the negotiations will begin.
Minister Concha has been fully clothed
with authority to proceed with the treaty.
The main features of the treaty are pretty
well settled, as the protocol signed some
time ago was quite full in setting forth
the prospective arrangement In case con
gress acted favorably on the Panama
route.
The amount to be paid Colombia for a
relinquishment of exclusive rights in the
United States will be 17.000,000* in gold,
payable on the exchange of ratmcatlons
of the treaty and in adltion Colombia is
to receive an annuity at the end of .four
teen years to be determined by mutual
agreement at that time. This anuity is
expected to be $600,000 a year, as the im
mediate payment of $7,000,000 covering the
period of the next fourteen years is con
sidered a basis for fixing the annual ren
tal at $600,000. _ . _
In transferring the rights of Colombia
to the United States the language used by
the act of congress will be followed to a
considerable extent in the transfer of
such a jurisdiction over the six miles
zone as will permit the exercise of Amer
ican authority with American courts, san
itary offices, police, etc. The question of
transferring complete political sovereign
ty Is about the only point which could
raise obstacles to the negotiations but It
is expected that this point will be avoided
as the act o. congress appears to contem
plate a transfer of jurisdiction and not a
transfer of political sovereignty.
The Colombian officials in Washington
look forward to a successful consumma
tion of the negotiations. They say. how
ever. that there is far less popular de
mand in Colombia for the Panama canal
than there Is in Nicaragua route and this
apathy may delay the conclusion of nego
tiations. Treaty will have to be ratified
by the United States senate and the Co
lombian congress before It becomes ef
fective.
PLIOIED ON
FOR U NVEILING
MONOMENT
AT MEETING OF ASSOCIATION ALL
DETAILS ARE ARRANGED—FAM
ILY OF GEN. WALKER WILL
ATTEND EXERCISES.
The W. H. T. Walker monument asso
ciation met on Friday afternoon at five
o'clock in the Brown building, and every
plan for the unveiling and dedication of
the monument to General Walker was
perfected.
At thia meeting a sketch of the monu
ment. as was recently printed in The
Journal, was exhibited. The monument
• will consist of a large 32-pounder, mount
ed on Immense granite blocks. The mon
ument will be surrounded by an Iron
fence, the corner posts of which will be
small cannon. All of these cannon were
presented by the United States govern
ment. through Congressman L. F. Liv
ingston. The city of Atlanta has presen
ted a paved walk to surround the monu
ment. The four small cannon have ar
rived in the city from the Augusta arse
nal. but the 32-pounder has not yet been
received.
At the unveiling of the monument to
the dead general, Hon. Julius L. Brown,
president of the monument association,
who has done much for the erection of
the monument, will make the presenta
tion speech, and Hon. J. B. Cummings
will receive the monument on behalf of
the association. The eight-year-old
granddaughter of General Walker will un
veil the shaft. After the exercises at the
monument are over, the invited guests
will be taken to Mr. Brown’s beautiful
country place, at "Brownwood.” where a
barbecue will be served «.o them.
Col. L. P. Thomas has been made mar
shal of the day, and will select hts aides
later. A large number of carriages will
be used to carry the invited guests to and
from the grounds. Among the Invited
guests are all of General Walker's fam
ily, Gen. O. O. Howard, the federal gen
eral commanding the troops which killed
General Walker, the Grand Army of the
Republic posts, the Confederate veterans
in this city, in Augusta and In Chatta
nooga. Congressman L. F. Livingston and
many others. _
The Kimball house has offered to enter
tain twelve guests of the association on
the occasion of the unveiling of the mon
ument. and it is expected that several of
the other hotels will agree to do the same
thing. The family of General Walker will
be entertained at the Kimball.
A large number of visitors are expected
in Atlanta on the occasion of the unveil
ing of tne monument. The ceremonies
will occur on July 22d, the anniversary of
the day on which General Walker met
his death in DeKalb county, near Grant
Park. The veterans are taking great in
terest in the unveiling of the monument,
and *t is thought that the railroads will
offer low rates for the occasion.
ONLY BY HER SKIRTS
WAS THIS GIRL SAVED
DENVER. Col.. July 3.—MUs Eva Hark
ins, of Charleston. 8. C.. almost took a
tumble off the capitol dome this after
noon. She fainted while sitting on the ob
servatory rail and keeled over. Miss
Harkins is here attending the Sunday
school convention. With a party of dele
gates she ascended the dome to the ob
servatory station. Miss Harkins mount
ed the stone railing, about three feet from
the floor and wide and flat enough at the
top to make a comfortable scat. Here
she was surveying the scenery with the
aid of a pair of opera glasses. Suddenly
her companion uttered a cry of horror.
The young woman's face became pale,
her eyes closed, and her body swayed.
Two of the women in the party rushed to
her side, grabbed her skirts and held to
her. and Anally lifted Miss Harkins from
her perilous position. A light woven wool
skirt to which her companions clung until
assistance came was what saved Miss
Harkins from oeing dashed to* death. If
the skirt had torn she would have fallen
a distance of 240 feet.
RIV *L OF DUMONT
FALLS FROM CLOUDS
LOUISVILLE. Ky., July 4,-The Post
yesterday said:
The young aeronaut who was probably
fatally injured today in an attempt to
descend in a parachute from a bomb flred
into the air nt a prominence in the com
mons opposite Churchill Downs last
night, is said to be Leo Stevens, of‘New
York, an inventor who entered in the St.
Louis exposition airship tests in competi
tlon with Santos-Dumont.
He is said to have a ship on Long Is
land where he has been experimenting
with aerial navigation and has so far
succeeded that he had secured a patent
on an airship and was going to do battle
with Santos-Dumont. When he was car
ried to the city hospital the aeronaut gave
his name as Dull, though his employers
stated that they did not know his real
name.
The attending physicians say that the
chances arc against his recovery.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JULY 7,
BITTER OCR
MADE ON
BAILEY
I
SOLICITOR PENFIELD SAYS
BAILEY MADE STATEMENTS
WHICH HE KNEW AT THE
TIME WERE UNTRUE.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July S.—Solid
tor Penfield, of the state department, the
official who figured in the colloquy be
tween Senators Bailey and Beveridge on
Monday, which colloquy later resulted In
a personal encounter, has taken a step
which <nay have the effect of producing
some very unpleasant developments and
which event will go a long way toward
preventing a possible reconciliation be
tween the senators from Texas and In
diana.
Penfield was appointed to his present
position at the Instance of Senators Bev
eridge and Fairbanks, and is a warm
personal friend of the former, which fact
was responsible for Beveridge’s action
in characterizing Bailey's criticism .of
Penfield as an "unwarranted attack.”
Beveridge was entirely v. tiling to let
the whole matter drop after he had been
chastised by the Texas seriator, but Pen
field is still bellicose as is shown by the
fact that he has issued and had published
a statement which is calculated to cause
further trouble. In this statement Pen
field says that Bailey’s charge that Pen
field refused to furnish him with an of
fice copy of a contract inclosed In one of
Ambassador Clayton’s dispatches to the
state department. Is untrue "In its sub
stance and spirit,” and that he (Bailey)
"knew Lt perfectly well wh'en he made the
charge in the senate.”
Further along in this statement Pen
field says:
"The truth of the matter is that Sena
tor Bailey set out some months ago to
remove General Clayton from his office
because General Clayton would not take
Instructions from him instead of the sec
retary of state. If I had joined with Sen-,
ator Bailey In his condemnation of Am
bassador Clayton, whose record beford the
department for fidelity, discretion arid ef
ficiency is most excellent, he would have
omitted his assault upon me in the sen
ate.”
The most remarkable part of the state
ment, however, is as follows:
"Senator Bailey is one of those men who
go hunting for trouble and this is simply
one of the spasmodic displays of asslnnl
ty in which he indulges at regular pe
riods.”
It is understood this morning that the
president has taken cognizance of the
matter and that Penfield may be severely
reprimanded or, perhaps, dismissed.
Senator Bailey has been out of the city
for the past two days, but he is expected
to return this afternoon. Penfield is an
old man and on that account the prospects
of a personal encounter between him and
the Texas senator seem rather remote.
The affair has created a tremendous
amount of interest, however, and develop
ments are being eagerly looked for.
SENATOR BAILEY WON’T
TALK ABOUT PENFIELD
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Senator Bailey
was here a few hours today coming over
from New York on a morning train and
leaving during the afternoon for his home
in Texas. His presence in the city lent in
terest to the situation which resulted from
the statement issued and published by
Judge Penfield, solicitor of the stpte de
partment on yesterday, in which some
very hard things were said of the Texan.
Mr. Bailey sa|d this afternoon that he
had hot read the statement and that he
would not do so immediately. He would go
over It when his attention was less occu
pied, he said, after which he would con
sult with his friends and decide on his
course of action. He would not, he said,
tell members of the press his opinion of
Penfield or Penfield's statement until he
had told it to Penfield in person.
Iriastnuch as General Funston was cen
sured not long ago for referring to Senator
Hoar's “Overheated there is
much curiosity as to whether or not offi
cial cognizance will be taken of Penfield's
statement, which contains things Infinitely
worse than that said by Funston.
The state department holds that Pen
field was acting merely in his capacity as
a private citizen when he made the state
ment and the matter is, therefore, up to
the president, who was too busy today to
give it attention.

BRAND NEW ENGINE
IN TWO COLLISIONS
MACON, July 3.—A new engine was being
tried on the Georgia Southern and Florida
tracks yesterdav afternoon, when a freight
train came around a curve. It was impossible
to avoid a collision, so both engineers opened
their whistles, reversed the levers and applied
the brakes and jumped. The engines came
together and the freight engine and tender
and a cnrload of watermelons were knocked
Into a lake near by.
The lar released the brakes on the new en-.
gine. and It rtoed for a moment and then be
gan to move backwards toward the round
house, a half mile away. As it went back
ward Its speed increased and its whistle
shrieked. A switch engine was starting out
of the roundhouse on the same track.' The
engineer and fireman jumped, and the two
engines went together with terrible force.
They butted each other again and again, as
If unable to determine which was the mightier.
They finally fell sprawling sidewife, and tore
up the track for a considerable distance.
The wreckage was cleared before midnight

LEADERS OF HEBREWS
PLAN TO AID THE RACE
NEW YORK, July 3.—Under the su
spicion of the orders of the B'Nal B’Rlth.
a meeting has been held in this city at
which several hundred Hebrews gathered
to take part In beginning a great "Get
Together” movement among the race in
the United States. The new effort is a
part of the plans for the general ad
vancement of American Hebrews, which
led recently to the election of Dr. Solomon
Schechter to the presidency of the Jewish
seminary.
Among the speakers was Leo N. LfeVi,
of Galveston. Tex., chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of the order of B’Nal
B’Rith. In the course of a lengthy speech
he referred to the exodus of the Hebrews
from European countries and declared
that the Jewish race is now passing
through events which surpass in import
ance the exodus from Egypt and the ex
pulsion from Spain.
"In all the history of the Jews,” he
said, “there has been no effort to unite
their forces in behalf of themselves. They
have always rested In the hope that some
body would work out their salvation for
them. Perhaps this has- been due to the
differences that have- always existed
The fact that we have always been stiff
necked, slow to learn government. The
policy has always been one of drift, fall
ing to recognize our surest refuge—our
selves.” - . t

BY A TAR HEEL
BEHM ’
EXPOSES WHAT HE SAYS IS THE
REPUBLICAN SCHEME TO CAP-
TURE N. CAROLINA IN COM- .
ING ELECTION.
CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 33.—United
States Senator F. M. Simmons, chairman
of the Democratic executive committee of
North Carolina, gives out an interview
in which he expresses what he claims is
the scheme of the Republican party for
capturing North Carolina and returning
Senator Pritchard to ths Senate, despite
the fact that the negj-o vote has been to
great extent eliminated by the adoption
of the constitutional amendment. Senator
Simmons says:
“For some time past prominent North
Carolina • Republicans *in . Washington
have been that their party
would control the next North Carolina
legislature and that . Senator Pritchard
would be returned ttet the senate. Demo
crats have been unable -to understand
the grounds of this hope in the face as
the fact that that party lost the state
In the Auguet election in 1900 by about
60,C00 majority, and since that time has
lost by , the educational provision of
the amendment, between 70,000 and 80,-
000 of its former voters.
“The persistency ’with which thia
claim was made aroused in" my' mind a
suspicion that ft was based upon some
secret scheme and led me to an Investi
gation with the vl±w of ascertaining
what it all meant. ’As a result of this
Investigation I have discovered a
shrewdly devised and well-developed con
spiracy. * •
“The scheme, briefly stated, is to stir
up and promote dissensions and inde
pendentism and, by raising the dry that
the amendment has eliminated the ne
gro and freed the whit# man, to bring
about during the eirly stages of the
campaign a hopeless division among
Democrats, and then on the eve of the
election have the federal bburt set aside
the amendment. In tills enterprise and
in organizing the opposition forces, the
conspirators are to have unlimited money
furnished them by the national Republi
can executive committee upon the promise
of two, if not three, Republican con
gressmen from the state and the retention
of the present Republican senator.
“In or<jer to divide the Democrats, every
local dissatisfaction, every local quarrel,
every fancied complaint and grievance
against the party and state administra
tion, every dlappolntraent growing out of
the Domination or defat of candidates,
Js to be assiduously nursed and fanned.
The Democratic party is to be charged
with hostility to certain interests and
with nominating men to office known to
be prejudiced against these interests, and
conservative voters are to be appealed
to to resent this alleged assault and to
cast their votes against these objection
able candidates. It is expected that the
opposition by Judge Clark’s nomination
will start the bolt and that, on account
of the unusual number of Democratic
candidates this year, defeated candidates
all over the state will be found who will
be ready to hazard their chances by al
lowing the use of their name.
"On these lines our adversaries pro
pose to open and for a time conduct their
campaign. When the lines of battle have
been drawn and tightened, when passion
has been stirred to white heat by the
friction of conflict, when alignments have
been made, and when it is believed that
the bolters have gone so far that pas
sion and pride will not permit them to
return to their old associations, as the
day of election draws near at hand the
courts will be asked to declare the
amendment unconstitutional and void.
Every detail jo this end has been care
fully arranged and the conspirators are
confident there will be no hitch or failure
or delay in carrying out the program at
any point. Between the Ist and 15th of
October a white man, who has been re
fused registration because he has failed
to pay his .poll tax. will apply to a Re
publican federal judge, who has already
been selected, for a mandamus to com
pel the registrar to admit him to regis
tration. This judge will hold that It Is
within the authority of the state to make
the payment of poll tax a condition
precedent to the right to vote, but he will
also hold that the grandfather clause
Is unconstitutional; and, as the amend
ment provides that the whole shall stand
or fall together, every part of the amend
ment is affected by this Infirmity. The
attack will be made upon the poll tax
Instead of the educational clause, to avoid
going Into court with a negroes com
plainant.
“By reason of the shortness of the
time, it will be impossible to get the
case heard on appeal before the elec
tion, and, as the judgment will be ef
fective until overruled on appeal. It Is
the expectation of the conspirators that
the election will be held under the law
as thus declared. If registrars refuse
to recognize and act upon this decis
ion, mandamuses will be Issued by the
thousands, to be followed, If necessary
to carry out the conspiracy, by federal
court bench warrants.

PITTSBURG,JuIy 4.—Half a million per
sons greeted President Roosevelt in Pitts
burg today.
’ They came, not only from Pittsburg and
Allegheny, but from the scores of in
dustrial towns within a Jiundred miles of
the city. It was the distinguished guest's
first visit to Pittsburg as president and
his welcome was most enthusiastic. From
the union station to the speaker’s stand
in Schenley park, nearly four miles away,
ft was one continuous cheer.
President Roosevelt reached the Wil
kinsburg station of the Pennsylvania road
at 8:05 o'clock this morning. At that
point, which is within the city limits,
a local reception committee, headed by
George T. Oliver, bohrded the train. As.
the train passed Shady Side station, a
railroad signal communicated the fact
to Hampton battery before the Pennsyl
vania National guards armory at Bed
ford avenue Basin overlooking the sta
tion. The guns of the batery immediately
commenced to boom for the president a
salute of twenty-one guns. The Hit gun
of the salute was flred as the president
stepped from his caf at union station.
' The president was then escorted to
his carriage. Those who occupied the
carriage with President Roosevelt were
Major O. 0. Brown, Attorney General
P. C. Knox and Gborge Cortelyou, sec
retary to the president. The other car
riages in waiting were promptly: AHed
by the reception committee. Tne butler’
of Sheridan troop sounded the assem-'
blage call which was a signal for Brfga
dler General John A. Wylie, commander
of the military escort, to lead the col
umn. The marchers numbered 3.000. rep
resenting the Eighteenth regiment, the
Fourteenth regiment, the Tenth
who saw Philippine service, Sheridan cav- ;
airy troop of Tyrone. ’
' Among the prominent guests who-rode
In carriages were Governor W .A. Stone,
Congressman Dalzell. Acheson, < Jack and,
Graham. Interest centered in.the unique
feature of the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates for governor. Judge
Samuel W. Pennyracker and Herbert E.
Pattison, both of Philadelphia, riding to-,
gether In one carriage. They were ac-r
companied by George T. Oliver and Al
bert J. Barr, editors of the Republican
and Democratic -papers, respectively of
th lHags ? and bunting buttered everywhere
along the course of the parade. People
crowded the windows of the tall buildings. ,
yelling themselves hoarse in greeting the
nation’s chief executive. The greatest
ovation came as the line P as ca"'
yon-like Fifth avenue to Grant’s hill. Tall
buildings on either side of the street of
fered fine vantage points for spectators.
When the head of the military escort
reached this position—the speaker’s stand
—it was halted and stood tn company
front with arrangements which had been
mafe for the president and those in the
carriages to pass In review, the band
struck up the stirring strains of "Hail to
the Chief.” The music was fairly drown
ed by the cheering of the multitude of two
hundred thousand persons In the stand
and occupying vantage points on the am
phitheatre-like hillside which rose in
front.' . :
Following the band came th,e United
German societies of Alleghany stationed
at one side of the stand and made up of
six hundred voices broke Into singing
“The Star Spangled Banner.”
At the close, of the song the invocation
was progounced by the Rev. John < H.
Prugh. The Declaration of Independence
was read by Brigadier General Willis J.
Hpllngs, and then‘followed the oration or
the day by the president of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt.
After tne address the German singing
societies sang "America,” the vast audi
ence joining in the words of the final
verse. Following this "The Lord’s Day”
