COMMITTEE ASKS COUNCIL TO
REVOKE LICENSE, WHICH RE-
QUEST IS DENIED IMME-
DIATELY.
ROME. Ga., Oct. 2.—A committee of cit
ixens, composed of Hon. Seaborn Wright,
Hon. L. A. Dean, Rev. B. F Frasier, Rev.
R. B. Headden, Rev. Mr. Dodge. Rev. G.
G. Snyder. Mr. W. H. Wilkerson. Mr. J.
A. Rounsavllle and others, appeared be
fore the city council late yesterday after
noon and asked that body to rescind its
former action in granting permission to
the Elks to hold a street'fair here.
Hon. L. A. Dean made the leading argu
ment for the committee, alleging that the
council had no right, under the city’s
charter and code, to grant the use of the
streets to any fa'tr or company. Citlxen
Dean insisted further that a regular li
cense is provided for shows of this char
acter. and the council could not abrogate
these statutes by allowing shows to exhib
it free.
Citlxen Seaborn Wright spoke of the
moral aspect of the carnival and the de
moralising influence it will exert.
Rev. Mr. Dodge, pastor of the Second
Methodist church, stated what had been
told him relative to the moral features of
the company during its exhibition in At
lanta.
Hon. R. A. Denny, grand commander
of the Elks in home, spoke at some length
before the council. Mr. Denny stated that
the Cincinnati Carnival company would
present only clean, moral shows In Rome,
and he extended Invitations to the minis
ters of Rome and their families, the may
or and counc.. to attend the performances
free of eharge.
Commander Denny contended that the
Elks are a charitable organization, and
the proceeds of the fair would go in a’d
of charity. He asserted that the church
held fairs and bazars and was not charg
ed by the council; that patent medicine
venders frequently blocked the streets
with their stands and devices, and that
the Salvation Army held meetings in the
streets.
At the conclusion of argument the coun
cil went into executive session. The body
almost immediately adjourned, without
revoking the former resolution, giving the
Elks and carnival company the use of the
streets next week.
The citizens’ committee intimated that
they would apply for an injunction to pre
vent the fair. A large crowd attended the
meeting of the council and much interest
was shown.

BOUND OVER RY
RECORDER
FRANK HENDRICKS NARROWLY
ESCAPES VIOLENCE AV HANDS
OF WITNESS OF MAL-
TREATMENT OF WIFE.
MACON. Ga.. Oct. 4. —Frank Hendricks
was bound over yesterday from the record
er's court to the city court on the charge
of wife whipping. He was also fined $lO
for being drunk and disorderly conduct.
Hendricks beat his wife in public on
Second street. The crowd who saw it be
came indignant and there would have been
serious Interference had not the officers
arrived in time to prevent It.
Mrs. Hendricks said that she was afraid
of her husband and that he would not
work It appeared from the evidence that
Mrs. Hendricks is employed with the firm
of Winn. Johnson A Company, and that
Hendricks had called there so often to in
terrupt her work that she asked her em
ployer not to allow him to see her. This
caused him to be much incensed, so that he
came down and waited on the sidewalk
outside until closing up hour when his
wife came out. He attempted to drag her
up the street and finally struck her several
blows.
One of the employes struck Hendricks
and others were preparing to do so when
Deupty Sheriff Frank Riley came up and
told the crowd that he could not arrest
Hendricks because he had not seen him
commit any crime but that he would hold
him until a policeman arrived. Hendricks
said afterward that he was certain he
would have been killed If Riley had not
Interfered.

BIRMINGHAM
MINERS ON
STRIKE
FAILURE OF MINE OWNERS TO
COLLECT STRIKE ASSESS
MENT CAUSED NATIONAL
BOARD TO ACT.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 2-Twenty
five hundred miners In the employ of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com
pany suspended work today.
This action is in obedience to the order
of ,ne executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America, district of Alabama.
The board determined that where the op
erators refused to collect for the Union
the one dollar per week assessment, made
on all union miners for the benefit of the
anthracite strikers in Pensylvanla, a sus
pension of work would be ordered.
The suspension has not yet extended to
the Blue creek and Blocton mines of the
Tennessee company, but it is thought that
all that company’s mines will be involved,
if an adjustment is not soon reached.
About two weeks ago the Teneasee com
pany declined to withhold the assessment
money from certain miners at West
Pratt, who objected to Its payment, and
five hundred men at that mine were or
dered out. Today's suspension makes the
total number now out 3.000. The mines
of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com
pany are holding a mass meeting at Car
diff today to determine what course they
will pursure.
TRACY CITY COAL STRIKE
IS REPORTED VERY SERIOUS
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn.,Oct. 2.—A News
special from Tracy City, Tenn., says:
The strike situation here seems to be
growing worse. All the private mine ope
rators have been asked to stop shipping
coal, and as some failed to do so, their
mines were wrecked and rendered useless.
The miners at Clause Hill are out and no
coal is being shipped over the Tracy City
branch road.
BIRMINGHAM STRIKE
HITS IRON BUSINESS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 3.—ls the
suspension of work at the coal mines is
anyway long-lived. It will have considera
ble effect on the iron market In this sec
tion. There is not a big supply of coal
and coke on hand, and if the mines are
shut down for any length of time it is
likely to have considerable effect.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company has a number of orders for Iron
on hand and are pushing their furnaces
for the fullest output. All the coal that
can be gotten out Is finding a ready de
mand, either in the open market or at the
furnaces.
Now, with a number of their mines shut
down, it will be felt in a very short
while. The people in the Birmingham dis
trict do not believe the suspension of
work is going to last long. The prosperous
conditions of the district do not permit of
a gloomy view being taken of the situa
tion.
CRISIS IN BIRMINGHAM
IS CLOSE APPROACHING
BIRMINGHAM. Ala-, Oct. 3.-Presldent
Edward Flynn, of the United Mine Work
ers of America, district of Alabama, stat
ed this morning that he had Issued orders
for all the miners of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railway company, at the Blue
Creek and Blockton mines to suspend
work on Monday next.
About sixteen hundred men will be in
volved, which, added to the men already
out in the Pratt mines division, will make
the total number of strikers over 4,000.
The strike grows out of the refusal of
the company to withhold assessments
made by the Miners’ union for the an
thracite coal strikers from the wages of
those miners who object to paying it.
President Flynn says *hat all miners
who object to paying the assessment will
be expelled, and when the miners return
will not be allowed to work with them.
Officials of the Miners’ union are now
making a canvass among the miners of
the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company
to ascertain how many of them favor the
payment of the assessment. Meanwhile the
b.oss mines are all In operation, with no
prospect of Immediate trouble. .
DR. CURRY PAYS TRIBUTE
TO WORK OF DR. GLENN
In his annual report to the Peabody
board, which is now in sessidn in New
York, Dr. J. L. M. Curry, special agent
of the Peabody and Biater Educational
funds, pays a high compliment to State
School Commissioner G. R. Glenn, of
Georgia. The report was read at a meet
ing of the board several days ago, and
regarding Commissioner Glenn says:
"The retirement of Dr. Glenn from the
headship of the school system is a ca
lamity. For eight years he has given
heart and mind laboriously and unselfish
ly to his work. The report of progress
during that titne as given by him is a
wonderful report. His life has been a
beneficence to the children. During his
official career he has been to me an In
valuable assistant, approving and making
successful what has been practical and
progressive and for the improvement of
the schools. The National Education as
sociation and the Southern Educational
association have honored him with posi
tions of distinction and responsibility in
just recognition of his ability and ex
perience as an educator, and his knowl
edge of educational affairs in the United
States.”

FORT WOR.H .Texas, Oct. 4.—A cold

MAY ASK MINERS TO RETURN
AND INVESTIGATE LATER
Continued From Page One.
dents of the coal roads yesterday, there is
little hope of securing any adjustment
with the operators by which the people
of the country may be supplied with coal.
It is thought President Mitchell will con
fer with his associates and if they can
determine that the mln» workers may
be fully as much benefited by the course
suggested as by continuing the strike,
and causing the widespread suffering
which is sure to follow a deadlock, it Is
expected that negotiations will be opened
with a view to carrying out the new prop
osition. Much will depend on what may
be the miners’ view of the proposition and
whether they think it will cause a loss
of prestige to the union from which it
cannot recover.
» Will Not Attack Rates.
It is not believed here that a resort to
proceedings against the coal carrying
roads on the charge of imposing unlawful
rates, as has been suggested, is prob
able, on account of Its impracticability
to accomplish speedy results in the pres
ent case. Should such proceedings be in
stituted the roads could protract the
litigation for two or three years In car
rying the case finally to the United States
supreme court.
THOUSANDS PLEAD
FOR EXTRA CONGRESS
CHICAGO. Oct. 4.-SIX thousand Illinois
citizens during the last 24 hours have sign
ed a petition asking President Roosevelt
to call an extra session of congress to
enact some measure for the prevention of
a coal famine. ' f
One method suggested in the petition is
provision for the appointment of a tem
porary receiver to operate the Pennsyl
vania mines which are closed on account
of the strike. The petition is being cir
culated all over the city of Chicago and
throughout the state of Illinois, under
the direction of U. S. Senator William
E. Mason.
"There are numerous Instances where
temporary receivers have been appointed
for the iri&nagement of public utilities,"
said Senator Mason, "and which afford
ample precedent for such an action in
the present emergency. Railroads have
been thus treated by the courts upon the
petition of the people. I have in mind,
too, a case where a dispute between a
municipal government and a waterworks
company which threatened to deprive the
people of a water supply,'resulted In the
appointment of a receiver until the trouble
was settled."
ATTITUDE OF OPERATORS
DEPLORED BY OHIOANS
TOLEDO, O„ Oct. 4.—At a largely at
tended mass meeting here tonight resolu
tions were adopted deploring the attitude
of the mine owners toward the appeal of
the president, commending the arbitra
tion offer of John Mitchell and repeating
the appeal of President Roosevelt. Mayor
Jones and other prominent citizens spoke.
REPORT MORGAN IS TO GIVE
FIRES FOR THE POOR
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—A statement Is
sued by J. P. Morgan & Company to
night and given out by Mr. Steele, a mem
ber of that firm, says Mr. Morgan will
purchase 50,000 tons of English coal and
give to the poor of New York. The text
of the statement is as follows:
“It is learned today that the Internation
al Mercantile Marine company has ar
ranged to purchase in England 50,000 tons
of the best domestic fuel coal for im
mediate transporation to this country. The
shipments will begin at once, and be hur
ried forward as rapidly as possible, even
at the sacrifice of the company’s regu
lar business If it should be found neces
sary.
"This coal, as well as more, if required,
will be used to relieve any suffering or
scarcity that may exist among the poor
or in public ffistltutions."
The truth of this report was officially
confirmed by the officials of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company.
The motive prompting such munificence
at the hands of Mr. Morgan, it is hinted,
is a direct slap at the coal barons for fail
ing to settle the strike at the recent Wash
ington conference. Those who believe this
motive back of the gift assert that Mr.
Morgan sent for President Truesdale last
week and told him the strike must be
brought to an end immediately.
President Truesdale is reported to have
said that Mr. Morgan mixed in the strike
two years ago and made possible the situa
tion as It exists today.
The starving out of the miners Is also
hinted at. Mr. Morgan is not only the
head of the shipping combine, who will
convey this English coal to NeW York, but
is also the master spirit of the coal situa
tion. It Is known that he Is in constant
communication with President Baer and
his associates and consulted with them at
Washington over the long distance ’phone
before they presented their side of the sit
uation to President Roosevelt. With a
ship load of coal a day, which would not
tax the resources of the shipping combine,
he can avert a fuel famine and at the
same time starve out the striking miners.

CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER
CONFIDENT OF ELECTION
Politicians from various sections of the
state were in Atlanta Saturday attend
ing a conference called by Fondren Mitch
ell. of Thomas, who is a candidate for
speaker of the house. The conference was
held at the Kimball house and was very
satisfactory, so those who attended it
say.

born, of Chatham; W. E. Thomas. of
Lowndes; James P. Knight, of Berrien;

w’ho is one of the best known politicians
in the state also said Mitchell would be

"From the reports which I received at
the meeting today I am confident that 1

Journal reporter last night. "Everything
seems to favor my election and I believe 1

Just what transpired at the meeting
will not be made known by the members
of the conference, but it is understood
committees were appointed to work on
certain representatives and secure their
votes if possible.
Friends of Newton Morris were also
present Saturday, though of course they
did not participate in the Mitchell con
ference. Among the Morris supporters
who were here were William A. Knowles,
of Floyd; Julian McCurry, of Hart; Frank
Mitchell, of Emanuel and others. Newton
Morris was also here and spoke very en
thusiastically about h|s race.
as did Julian McCurry, of Hart.
Emerson George, of Morgan, who is also
a candidate, was at the Kimball Friday
night. He stated that he, too. was sure
of election, and though he did not expect
to win out on the first ballot he was con
fident of being elected.

MALARIA S
An Invisible Enemy to Health. feWY
Malaria is an invisible atmospheric poison. The air becomes infec- 1 .yx
ted with the gases and microbes arising from the marshes and low lands,
damp cellars, sewer pipes, badly ventilated houses and decaying vegeta- 4
ble matter, and we unconsciously inhale them into the lungs, when T
they are taken up by the blood and circulated throughout the system. >
Malaria gives no warning of its coming; no immediate effects are J
seen, and no violent symptoms appear until the unfortunate sufferer is
completely at the mercy of this hidden foe. This invisible enemy may
be following us night and day, but often the first intimation we have of
its presence is a chilly, creepy sensation running over the body, f
sometimes followed by a slight fever, and an always tired, drowsy and
depressed feeling. The blood soon becomes deeply poisoned, thinned W
and weakened by the teeming millions of microbes and germs, and an ||
irregular, slow circulation is the result. This condition of the • B
blood gives rise to innumerable and serious troubles: torpid liver, 1
enlargement of the spleen, loss of appetite and feeble digestion, a ''
pallid or yellow skin, boils, carbuncles, abscesses, indolent ulcers, ‘|
and pustular and '

DEAD IN HIS CHAIR
MACON, G*.. Oct. 4.—Captain J. W. Wileox
was startled yesterday by a negro who ran
suddenly into his office at the city hall having
eveiy appearance of one crazy. He began at
once to undres?, all the while muttering some
thing which no one could understand.
Captain Wilcox summoned a policeman and
the negro was taken to the police station, but
was still unable to give any intelligent account
of himself, not being able to tell his name.
Deputy V. A. Maynard left the hall to take
out a writ of lunacy and the negro was locked
up in the barracks. By the time that the jury
was summoned and the door was opened to
bring out the negro he was found sitting up
against the wall dead. He was an employe of
the Central railroad and had a month’s pay to
hls credit. No explanation was made of the
affair except that it was a case of heart dis
ease superinduced by mental distress.

patriotism, humor and eloquence.
Georgia was his text. Among other
things he said if every citizen in the state
would be as enthusiastic for Georgias
progress and advancement as the citi
zens of Atlanta are for their city, it
would not be long before Georgia would
be not the Empire State of the South,
but of the Union.
At the conclusion of Mr. Terrell’s speech
Hon. Dudley M. Hughes, president of the
Agricultural society, was introduced, and
his speech was greatly applauded. He
urged the people to send the exhibit to the
state fair at Valdosta, and said that the
Valdosta people had the Atlanta, spirit.
One unique feature was the graceful
horseback riding by the following young
women: Misses Jessie Stewart, Lola
Bragg, Annie Mildred Bragg, Mattie Mul
ligan and Kate Green.

MUST TAKE A GOOD REST
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Secretary Cor
telyou this evening upon being asked as
to the condition of the president, said:
“The conference held yesterday was a
sever strain upon the president. While in
the judgment of his physician his progress
toward recovery has been satisfactory and
continues so, they feel to avoid the
risk of a set back he should be relieved
of any undue tax upon hls strength.
Therefore for the next week or ten days
only such matters will be brought to his
attention as may be imperatively necessa
ry for him to consider.

JUDGE MAY TUHN
MOTORS ON
' THE CARS
-NEW ORLEANS TROLLEY STRIKE
IS NOW IN THE COURTS ON
APPLICATION FOR RE-
CEIVER FOR CO.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 4.—The failure of j
the Canal street merchants to effect any I
modus vivendl on which the street car
men could return to work was disappoint
ing to the people, who have new had seven;
days of walking and riding in uncemfor-'
table vehicles. ;
Tonight Mayor Capdevlelle has again
taken the situation in hand and is endeav
oring to arrange a settlement on a basis j
of ten hours and 12 per day. Conferences;
and exchanges of notes are now in prog
ress and will likely continue until 8 o’clock
as has been the case every night since the
strike began. *:
In the meantime the railway company i«'
making every preparation in a systematic
way for the operation of their cars. The
barns have been fitted up with cots and
ranges and stores of groceries and sup-;
plies have been put by. The barns are all
well policed and no one is admitted to any
of them.
Receiver Is Wanted.
The most Important development today
was the filing of a petition irt the civil dis- 1
trlct court for the appointment of a re
ceiver for the railway company on the
grounds of gross mismanagement by the;
officers.
Charles A. Favrot and L. A. Livaudais
are the stockholders and bondholders who
filed the application.
They allege that the officers have neg-,
lected and made no effort to run cars,’
causing a loss to the company Os many
thousands of dollars a day. and thus jeo
pardising the payment of interest on
bonds. , ,
Judge St. Paul fixed the hearing for
next Tuesday.
The railway officials state that the fil
ing of this petition will prove beneficial
to their interests, inasmuch as it will
bring the present controversy to a head.)
It was announced by the railway offi-i
cials that the filing of the application sor 1
a receivership would prevent tnem under
the advice of their attorneys from partic
ipating in any more conferences looking,
to a settlement.
Nevertheless several communications 1
have passed between the attorney of the 1
company and the mayor during the course
of the evening and the company’s lawyer
was in consultation with the mayor for,
an hour.
Nothing but mall cars were run today.
The wires were again cut on Carrollton
avenue at Ursuline and Broad streets. The
trolley wire was cut, a baker's mule walk-5
ed on it and was killed.
At Esplanade and Broad a cut or brokei
telephone wire hanging over a live trol
ley wire touched a horse belonging to the
Armour Packing company and killed it.
The Canal street merchants have
doned their plan of calling a mass meet
ing of citizens tomorrow. Tonight they
met at the St. Charles Hotel and appoint
ed a committee of two to wait on the
mayor and ascertain if they could be of
any more service. They still maintain that j
they will have to close their establish-]
ments unless a settlement is reached soon.
As the railway company has not yet:
notified the mayor when it intends to OP- (
erate passenger cars it is evident no
tempt will be made Sunday.
