GUNBY JORDAN MAY
HUN FOR GOVERNOR
COLUMBUS, GS.. Jan. 27.—G. Gunby
Jordan haa been urged to enter the race
for governor at the netx election.
He wit not discuss the matter. Mr. Jor
dan has large business affairs which de
mand much of his time, and it is not
known whether he would like to be gov

great personal sacrifice, but that he
. would make a great governor there is no
question. . .
Hr. Jordan is now president of the
Eagle and Phenix mills, of the Third Na
tional bank and the Columbia Savings
bank, and Is also connected with other
large Interests, and altogether he really
has little or no time to be governor.

PATTERSON ASKS
10 BE VINDICATED
TENNESSEE GOVERNOR INVITES
ACTION OF IMPEACHMENT TO
ESTABLISH TRUTH OR FALSI
TY OF ACCUSATIONS.
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Jan. 27.—Malcolm
R. Patterson was inaugrated for his sec
ond term as governor of this state at the
capitol at noon today. The oath of office
was administered by Judge W. D. Beard,
chief Justice of the supreme court of
Tennessee, the ceremonies being simple
but impressive.
The ceremonies were held in the nail
of the house of representatives, which
was crowded to its utmost.
In hia Inaugural address Governor
Patterson referred as follows to the
killing of Senator E. W_. Carmack:
“Our state is passing through the
shadows; her people are divided; we
have fallen Into the habit of distrust,
suspicion and accusai lon.
"There Is nothing proper I would not
do to relieve this s.tuatlon; there is
nothing I have done to bring it about,
unless it has been my success and the
honest, open service I have tried to ren
der in return for the confidence of the
people.
Slanders Are Repeated
"But 1 am conscious that throughout
the state men have repeated slanders, i
that some newspapers have circulated
cruel and false charges and have even
gone so far as to connect me with a
tragedy which I deplored far mors than
many who have sought to make out of ,
it a political asset and to use it as a
motive and incentive for unwise, un
democratic and destructive legislation.
"So far as the injustice of all this ro
tates to me as an individual, or the pain
it ruthlessly and mercilessly inflicts, it
is of nd concern to. the public, but, as
governor, the people of Tennessee have
a right to have the effice respeotd and
niy service in official capacity not im
paired by false and repeated accusua
tjons.
"But beyond all else they are entitled
to know,tt»e truth, *
"If, as an official. I have been guilty
of conscious deiifiquency, 4 am un
worthy of public trust and the people
have given me an office which I should
not hold and of which I should be de
prived.
"If. tn any way, directly or remotely,
I have sought to encompass the death
of a fellow-man. I am deserving of
every stigma that gentlemen may place
“upon me, of any indignity and punish
ment which law and society can in
flict. sot I am the governor of the
ktate, clothed with the power to par
don, and the charge, therefore, involves
the basest and blackest turpitude.
Silence Misconstrued
~ ,'My silence under a load of calumny
seems Jo have been misconstrued and
haa been taken by some as an encour
agement to further assaults.
"I believe now that the majority of
the people, be they friend or foe. do not
credit them, but I am unwilling for
accusations which ar* repeated and per
sisted in tu remain undenied and un
challenged.
My course is taken after reflection
and with a firm conviction that I owe
a duty to myself, my family and the 1
state. I make the issue .In the only
way I can. and I new invite any legal
action in tha courts or in the
sitting as a court of impeachment, to
determine the truth or falsity of any
charge that woulfl render me unfit to
cb the governor rs Tennessee.
"If chargee* are not preferred, or If ;
they are, and fail. I bellev ■ I am en- •
titled to ask, fcr the peace and honor ■
or the state and in the name of de
cency, that this reck’esa defamation
shall cease.
"Whether it floes or not, as the gov
ernor of Tennessee, I •frill pursue the
even tenor of my wajr, undismayed by
the froth of passion, undeterred by the
assaults of cowards and calumniators.”
Prohibition Question
Regarding the prohibition question, the
governor said:
"The legislature has seen lit to disregard
one important and essential promise which
guaranteed self-government to those com
munities in Tennessee where liquor is
sold, and to reverse the policy of more
than a hundred years by enacting laws
forbidding the manufacture and sale of
liquor in this state.
"Part of this legislation has been ac
complished over my protest as governor,
and if it is completed, it will be over my
continued objection, for I am not willing
for the state to occupy the questionable
and Humiliating attitude of inviting her
citizens to invest their capital In enter-1
prises whch, when done, are to be de
stroyed by an act of the state.
“It is regrettable that this difference of
opinion and obligation to party pledges
has existed' between the legislature and
the governor, but if the member* have
their own approval for this radical ana
sweeping legislation, I also have mine,
believing that the rule of consent Is bet
ter than the rule of force, and that when
I disapproved of setting aside an ancient
and established principle of government,
1 was acting for the Democratic party
and for the best interests of the people.”
IM MIGRATIONMIOVYN
AN INCREASE HERE
The tide of emigration setting toward
the new world was seriously felt in At
lanta for the first time last year. Oves
three hundred immigrants drifted into At
lanta during then. Most came from
Greece, mahy from Russia, and a number
from Italy. There were one or two Poles,
several Prussians, and a dark-skinned
Turk from the land of the sultan.
The total number of immigrants last
year was over twice the number of the
year before. Application for citizenship
was made by 196 immigrants.- and the
year before but 74 made such application.
Through their desire to become citizens
the desirability of the new-comers can
be very accurately gauged. Practically all
who are real additions to the population
apply for citizenship, and those who fall
to do so are but an incubus.
The records in the clerk's office at the
custom house show that the greater num
ber of applicants were Greeks. Indeed,
Atlanta is rapidly acquiring a stanch,
substantial colony of Greeks. They own
property, take a real interest in their
adopted land, and ar« re spec tors of the
law.
SEVEN BLACKS ARE NOT
IN DANGER OF MOB
JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 26.—Governor
Noel received a long distance telephony
message today from Sheriff R. L. Wels
singer, of Sunflower county, stating that
there is no likelihood of an attempt at
lynching the seven negro prisoners now
in the Indianola jail, charged with the
assassination of B. A. Bradley, a wealthy
planter of that coutny.
The sheriff statefl during his conver
sation with the governor that there is se
rious doubt whether the negroes now in
custody had anything to do with th*
crime.
Tile governor Informed the sheriff that,
if necessary, he would order troops to
Indlanoia to protect the jail. Sheriff Weis
slnger stated that such a precaution
would not be necessary, as he had the
situation well in hand, and had no fear
of mob violence.
THE ATLANTA SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1908.
SPEECH OF WILLETT
ORDERED EXPUNGED
SPECIAL COMMITTEE SAYS IT IS
HOUSE’S DUTY TO PROTECT
PRESIDENT FROM PERSONAL
ABUSE.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 27.—Rec
ommending that the speech delivered in
the house last week by Representative
Willett, of New York, in which the pres
ident was severely criticised, be expunged
from the Congressional Record, the select
committee appointed to consider the
speech submitted its report to the hourfe
today. A letter written to the committee
by Representative Willett, urging that
his speech should remain on record, ac
companied the report.
Defines Orderly Debate
Declaring that "the consideration of the
speech in question involves a considera
tion of what is and what not orderly
debate in the house.” the committee's re
port defines the privileges of members of
the house and the limitations of debate.
It discusses at length the relationship
of the two houses of congress and the
relations which must be maintained be
tween the house of representatives and
the president, In accordance with the con
stitution.
The report declares that it would seem
that the "peculiar constitutional duties
of the house in relation to the power of
impeaching the president do not preclude
a clear line of distinction between that
criticism of acts and conduct necessary
for performance of the constitutional du
ties of the house and a criticism merely
personal and irritating.”
It also claims that it is especially the
duty of the house Itself to protect the
president “from that personal abuse, in
nuendo or ridicule tending to excite dis
order in the house itself and to create a
personal antagonism on the part of the
president toward the house, and which is
not related to the power of the house
under the constitution to examine Into
the acts and conduct of the president.
Remarks Not Justified
“Your committee has carefully consider
ed the remarks of the gentleman from
New York,"- continues the report, “and
find that his remarks concerning the pres
ident are not justified by any considera
tion of the constitutional duties or powers
of the house: that they transcend proper
limits or criticism in debate: that they
are destructive of that courtesy, respect
and dignity which ought to be preserved,
and that they ought not to remain in the
permanent official record of the proceed
ings in the house.”
The committee claimed that it was im
possible to separate the objectionable re
marks from the remainder of the speech,
and that the only way to eliminate thp
remarks considered out of order would be
to strike out the entire speech. It cited
as a precedent for such action by the
house the speech of Robert P. Kertnedy,
of Ohio, attacking the senate, made in
the house on September 3, 1890, which was
excluded from the permanent record.
Willett Sends Letter
In his letter to the committee Mr- Wil
lett claims that he did not transcend the
rules of the house, but that he was en-<
tirely within his rights to make thf
speech under the order of general debate.
“Freedom of speech has always been held
so sacred," he declared, “that the utmost
latitude has been allowed in debate* and
I respectfully submit that tp..strike my
speech from the record in this instance
will establish a precedent extremely flan r
gerous." v ’ ' z
The resolution recommended by the
special committee for adoption by the
house reads:
"Resolved, That the speech of Mr. Wil
lett printed in the daily Congressional
Record of January 18. 1909, contains lan
guage improper and in violation of the
privileges of debate, and that the same be
stricken from the permanent record."
PRISON BOARD
SEEKS FARM SITE
The prison department is getting down
to hard work in the matter of the pur
chase of a prison farm for white con
vict*. Every indication Is that some se
lection will be made within the next three
weeks at the very latest.
A conference with all bidders inter
ested nas been arranged by the prison
commission, to start Thursday morning,
the 28th, at 9 o’clock, and to continue
through Friday and possibly Saturday if
necessary. It is the commission’s hope
that by this method the army of bidders,
numbering probably 200. will be narrowed
down to a few, and then down to two or
I three.
Bids offering all sorts of laud, in all
sorts of sizes and at all sorts of price*
have poured in upon the prison commis
sion during the last few weeks. Not
withstanding that the commission has re
peatedly declared that not less than 4,000
acres will be purchased, some of the of
fers have been for two or three hundred,
or six hundred, or a thousand acres.
Parties having tracts that they think
will meet the requirements of the com
mission are. therefore, invited to call at
the commission’s offices during the time
indicated to explain their offers in de
tail.
GR AND JURY PRO BES
TOWN LOT FRAUDS
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Jan. 25.—With the
sitting of tha federal grand jury today to
Investigate the alleged town lot frauds,
I Muskogee becomes the cynosure of the
eyes of half a nation. That the govern
ment regards the matter of great import
is evidenced by the fact that the jury is
closely watched and guarded by secret
service men.
Rumor has it that there is a man for
every juror. Additional interest is added to
the case by reason of the implication of
the governor, Charles N. Haskell, in the
investigation.
He. in turn, declares the entire matter
is due to the enmity of William R. Hearst.
This ramification of the case is an echo
cf he presidential campaign of last year.
MUSKOGEE. Okla.. Jan. 27.—Additional wit
nesses arrived here today to give their testi
mony before the federal grand jury now in
vestigating the Muskogee town lot frauds.
Others are on the way to Muskogee.
The latest arrivals are John C. Wilkinson,
of St. Lxiuls. former president of the Missouri
Trust company; Judge Z. G. Nile and wife.
H. H. Witcher and R. A. Newland, all of
Bells. Texas.
When the grand iurv resumed its session to
day it seeded apparent that it would take
manv davs to listen to ail the evidence
available.

BE INVESTIGATING ALLEGED
WATER POWER MONOPOLY.
ERUPTION EXPECTED.
• f - . .j ’ ■ Tk-’i-.*’. ■ -?i ■; 1
•-*- ■ . •
By Ralph Smith
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The rumblings
of another ertiption from the White houxe,
based upon operations of the secret ser
vice and Involving at least one and maybe
two United States senators, have become
audible on capitol hill, and the rumored
disclosures are; being awaited with the
keenest interest. Just what form the ex
plosion will taM I* not known, but, judg
ing from past perfermances, H is believer,
likely that it will come In the shape of
additional 'idhyWatlftn from; the white
house t</ the stenate committee, which is
Investigating the secret service operations
under President Roosevelt.
It te stated that since congress locked
horns With ihje president about the in
discriminate use of the secret service, Mr.
Roosevelt has become even more active
than ever, and that govrnment detec
tives have been raking certain parts of
the southwest wtih a fine tooth comb
trying to confirm certain suspicions tht
president Is said to entertain concerning
at least two Senators, and perhaps the
governor of one state. The secret service
agents, it is stated, are Will at work on
the ntattef, arid have not made * com
plete report, but enough ha* leaked out
to convince certain persons that another
sensation 1s promised before Mr. Roose
velt crosses the portals of the white
house for the . last time. The investiga
tions in the southwest have been directed
It is said, at Indian claims in Oklahoma,
and somewhat similar deals in Texas and
Oklahoma, in which the report says cer
tain men now -prominent in congressibnal
and public life have figured extensively.
Investigations in Georgia
Investigations are said to be in pro
gress in Georgia also in connection with
water power developments. They do not
involve any members of congress or pub
lic officials, but have for their purpose
the establishment of the president’s alle
gation that tha Westinghouse company ij.
behind all of the water power companies
and aims to control, indirectly, not only
all of the electrical interest, but monop
olize also all of the vAter powers of the
coun ry. The president charges this In
substance In a recent veto message to
congress, disapproving a bill authorizing
the damming of the Missouri river. Since
that time secret serriM agents, repre
senting the bureau of corporations, have
been “smelling” around the south in
search of ■ evidence to bolster up the
president’s charges.
In this connection, it Is interesting to
see that Judge Joseph R. Lamar, of Au
gugsta, representing the Twin City Power
company of Augusta, is in Washington
trying to get the company’s plans for
the damming of the Savannah river ap
proved by the war department. The com
pany has been granted a franchise for
this purpose by congress, but the life of
the franchise will expire on February 22,
and the attitude of the president toward
water power development, it is feared,
seriously hampers the proposed develop
ment of the Savannkh river water power.
Should the f * .nchiSe expire before the
plans have been approved. *> would be
come necessary for congress ,<o pass an
other bill, and President Roosevelt might
veto it just as he vetoed the Missouri
river proposition.
HOUSE MAY REJECT
TAFT TARIFF BOARD
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—There is little
likelihood that the house ways and means
committee will consider another proposi
tion involving a tariff commission, as
suggested by President-elect Taft.
Chairman Payne and other members are
known to be opposed to a commission
which would have the power to make
rates, while some members claim that a
commission for the purpose of gathering
information is unnecessary, in view of the
numerous sources of information through
the various government departments.
It is probable that the new tariff bill
will contain no provision for a commis
sion.
The main argument advanced against a
tariff commission which would have the
right to establish the rates of duty or
even recommend changes to the house
committee, is that the business interests
of the country would be seriously impair
ed by the constant uncertainty on tariff
rates which would result.
Furthermore, it is claimed, capital would
not be Invested so freely in those indus
tries which are affected by foreign trade
and competition. i

SCORE ARE KILLED
IN BLAST IN MINE
PITTSBURG. Jan. 36.—Two men are
dead and twenty others supposed to be
dead, as the result of three gas explosions i
in the Boswell mine of the United Coal ;
company, Somerset county, last night and i
early today. Theh men were members of |
an investigating party that had entered
the mine to make an inspection of aus
picious gas traces before allowing the
miners to go to work.
The dead are:
SUPERINTENDENT G. J. LOGAN.
ANDREW STONCKI.
Among the supposed dead are:
Assistant Superintendent George Morris.
John Cole.
William Hay.
Seventeen other men.
Until early today signals were heard
from the imprisoned men. At daylight,
however, the signals ceased and it 1s be
lieved that all the men came under tlie
influence of the deadly after-damp.
About 4:30 p’clock yesterday afternoon a
small explosion occurred in the mine and
as a result of this and other condition*
that needed attention it was decided to
make a thorough investigation.
This was in charge of Superintendent
Logan. Logan and twenty-one men vol
unteered for the dangerous work. They
entered the mine shortly after 5 o’clock
and while they were in.the mine a second
and third explosion dccurred, about 6
o'clock.
These explosions had the effect of tear
ing down great quantities of coal, slate
and rock in the interior, completely pre
venting the men from reaching the out
side. , m
State Mine Inspector Lowther, of Som
erset, was soon at the scene and the
rescue work began.
TWO HURT IN BLAST
OF GAS IN QUAKER PLANT
BRADFORD, Pa., Jan. 26.—An explosion
of natural gas early today wrecked the
plant of the Tuna Valley Pressed Brick
company, and seriously injured R. C.
Gordon and Philip Derry, employed in the
engine room.
The plant Is located at Lewi* Run, Pa.,
and the dam iye 1* heavy.
ORGANIC DISEASES
CURED BY SUGGESTION
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Dr. Sheldon Leav
itt is now in active charge of Rev. John
ston Myers’ mind healing class. In hi*
initial lecture the doctor cited qases of
organic diseases he has cured in hte
practice through the use of psycho-ther
apeutics.
Dr. Leavitt maintained that there te no
more limit to the practice of psycho
therapeutics than there is to the prac
tice of medicine. He declared that he had
cured cases of locomotor ataxia, intestinal
tuberculosis, and typhoid fever by the
method of healing he advocated.
“We have not made the claim that we
can cure a great many cases of cancer,
Bright's disease, valvular heart disease or
consumption." said Dr. Leavitt. “Neither
can the medical practitioner* do so. We
do not say there Is nothing In medicine
and but little in surgery. We believe in
medicine and surgery and mind healing.”
“CHILDREN ARE LIARS,”

CHICAGO. Jan. It.—"Afi children are horn

university, in Chicaxo to deliver an educa
tional address.
In an exulanation of his assertion he d«-
olared that he has four children and that
they are "a* big liars" as any in the sense
he describes.
•’lt is a child’s nature,” he said, “to color
things whin he explains, and this should be
taken into consideration by parents.”
OVERFATNESS CONDEMNED.
Fat, or even fattish. women readers who
want to be in the mode this year must
understand that the demand is for lines,
not curves, and govern themselves accord
ingly.
That means OFF with the fat. It has
become a duty. Many are trying exercise
or dieting; but it is certain they will find
these methods too slow and unreliable.
The cheapest and safest way to get in
form for the Directoire mode is by means
of Marmola Prescription Tablets. Any
druggist (or the Marmola Company,
Dept. 164, Detroit. Mich.) will give you a
large-sized case of these elegant little
fat reducers, containing a good, generous
supply, for seventy-five cents, and even
this quantity should be enough to make
a decided impression on your excess fat.
Many have lost as much as a pound a
day.
These Marmola Prescription Tablets
may be used with impunity and likewise
perfect confidence, for, being made strict
ly In accordance with the famous Marmo
la Prescription, they are, of course, quite
harmless. They are rather beneficial
than otherwise, in fact, never disturbing
tne stomach or causing a wrinkling of
the flesh.

NO ROAD CAN GIVE GOOD SER-
VICE WITHOUT THIS CO-OPE-
RATION, SAID MAGNATE IN A
TALK AT PIEDMONT.
"If you should fall, Mr. Harriman,
there wouldn't be a grease spot left of
you when you hit the ground.”
So said Asa G. Candler to the greatest
railroad magnate in America as they
leaned against the parapet of Atlanta's
tallest building Tuesday and looked down
upon the city that shone and bustled |
under the noonday’ sun. A party of I
twenty-flVe or thirty business men were >
with them. It was the final liour of the j
unpretentious yet cordial hospitality they
had been showing the visitor since 9
o'clock tn the morning.
"Ddn’t worry,” somebody replied, "Mr.
Harriman's feet will stick; they always
stick.”
The conversation was typical of the
welcome Atlant# gave the railroad king.
He was entertained in a manner befitting
his own simple, unconventional personal
ity. It would be difficult to carry out any
other sort of entertainment for E. H.
Harriman. Unless you strip the word
king of all its outward show and Idfti- '
nes* and reduce It to its element*! mean
ing of power. It is a silly misnomer in,
his case. People generally wonder at
Harriman's capacity for doing complex
things. But hd Is more remarkable 1h
his capacity for being a simple man. Per- j
haps it Is because he haft done so much
that he is so simple' in hl* speech and
manner and dress. He could not be more
so if he were an apprentice switchmen
on the smallest line of hi* muTritudlhous
systems. He would probably not be as
much *o. ' ’ > • '
But here is the story of hoW he spent
the time In Atlanta Tuesday from 9,
o'clock until 1.30. ' • r ='
. j ,* Starts His Tour „ ” ~
At the former hour he started from the
Terminal station for an automobile ride
over the city, accompanied by a commit
tee of twenty-fqur men from the chamber
of commerce. Major* J.-F. Hanson’s -big
red car headed the line of si* - automo
biles. - In it ware Mr. Harriman, Asa O.
Candler, president of the chamber jtff
commerce; John D. Little' And ■■ Major
Hanson. The route -was down WbUEhall
street to Peachtree, efreet. . Then the ma
chines took a sprint, out past AUriey park
to Brookwood, The. air ws4 - brisk, the
sky blue; every tree and house along the
way seemed to have just been washed, tn
sunshine.
“This feel* gopd.” said Mr. Harriman,'
unbuttoning the collar ,of his gray -Over
coat. ... ■ ... ’
Then the party detoured; an* sped out
Ponce de Leon avenue to Draffi Hills;
thence back to the city through Inman
park. They crossed the long viaduct, to
Washington street and shortly after 11
o’clock were at the Piedmont hotel.
Here a public reception was held until
shortly before noofi. Ofi first bßictilng the
hotel Mr. Harriman was taken to a suite
of rooms on ths second floor, the same
rooms, by the way. that President-elect
Taft slept in on his late visit to Atlanta.
So far a* apy one knows, there were no
telepathic misgivings or jars when the
railroad king went in and sat down in
the same Morris chair that Theodore
Roosevelt’s big apostle had lounged in.
Mr. Harrimaq was liberally applauded.
Then, after shaking hands with others
who had come tp meet him, he walked
over to the Candler building, accompanied
by the committee of 24. The final featqre
of his entertainment was a luncheon con
sisting of souo and quail op toast In the
grill room of the Mechanical and ifgnu
facturers’ club on the top floor of the
Candler building. ~ u
Bird’s-Eye View of City
Before going into the luncheon, however,
he was taken to the root of the building
and given « bird's-eye of-Atlanta. It was
here that Mr. Candler made hi* frank ob
servation relative to the grease spot. He
and Joel Hurt and Mayor Maddox and
Secretary Cooper, of the chamber of cqpi
merce, sauntered around the roof of the
skyscraper with Mr. Harriman in their
midst and the remainder of the committee
close around.
“Over there," said Mr. Candler, pointing
eastward, “is Stone Mountain, Mr. Harri
man. and I want to say that there's
enough granite and gravel among those
hills to build all the railroads you'H ever
want to."
This remark had plainly been brewing
since Mr. Harriman’s reference to road
bed material in hi*:-talk at the hotel.
Everyone laughed and tha magnate, too,
laughed in hi* way. .He was reticent,
however, for the most part, as he trolled
from one corner of the roof to the other,
and had the sites of famous battlefields,
and railroad shops and public buildings
pointed out to him. Once he Inquired with
interest of the A., B. & A. railroad;
“I understand a good deal of' Atl**ftb
capital is behind it,” he tentarked.
Then fie asked what it wks that’made
Atlanta from the outset the railroad cen
ter it has become.
"Two thing*,” answered Joel Hurt, lo
cation and elevation."
Then he and Mr. Hurt talked quietly
for five minutea, Mr. Harriman appearing
to be much Interested. In the course of
the ramble about the roof John Little tott
an amusing story or two. It is notable
fact that Mr. Harriman would never
laugh until he had grasped the Precise
point of the story- Then he would chuckle
merrily enough.
Shakes Many Hands
Down stair* a crowd of some two ir
tthree hundred marchants, bank presi
dents and members at large from _the
chahber of commerce had gathered. Di-*,
rectly Mr. Harrimgn came in.- He at
tracted no* particular attention as he
walked through .the hotel lobby to tbe
parlor. He Is not what photographer*
consider a good pose. Stationing him sell
near the southern end of the room he
shook hand* one after another with the
men as they filed past him and were In
troduced by Mr. Candler and Mayor Mad-
Tliis continued for about 15 or 20 min
utes. Then Mr. Harriman consented tc
say a few things to those who had come
to greet him. It was not a speech; sim
ply a kind of conversation with him do
ing the talking. $
Mr. Harriman Talks
“It is Interesting," he began, “to be .In
a city whose people have such faith in ite
possibilities. On the automobile trip we
had this morning I noticed that you are
looking out for the comfort and the beau
ty of your city. Thit is good. All cities
should be built with such a purpose, i j

as It can be built. The materials neces
sary to do this are not close to you. I
mean such things as the stone and grav
el, for Instance, used In making road
beds.” - <
At this remark, Mr. Candler’s fact
showed that he was making a mental
calculation and later In the morning Mr.
Harriman learned Just what that calcu
lation was. • -
“I am glad to be in a city,” he contin
ued, “where the people seem interested in
railroads. This is gratifying to a rail
road man. We like to feel that there
are some who do not always regard our
