CINCINNATI, Nov. 18.—According to government officials, postoffice inspectors in many cities today arrested a number of men suspected of complicity in —a scheme which, it is alleged, has resulted in the. loss of many thousands of dol lars by "investora” Five of these men were indicted by the United States grand jury here last month. The men. it is alleged, oper ated against individuals and corporations that desired to place stocks or bonds on the market. The following members of the alleged ring were indicted by the federal grand jury here; F. D. Minyard, now in Cleveland; J. Gordon Malcolm, who went to Canada before the indictments were returned; Thomas Fishwick, now in Boston; George S. Hannaford, now in Chicago; J. R. Long, now in Buffalo. The men are alleged to have mulcted promoters and infant stock corporations out of thousands- of dollars, secured through fees and commissions for ar ranging the guarantee of the securities of their victims by stock and bond TURK LINE HOLDS: UHSFAIL AT CRUCIAL POINT Amid Scenes of Terrible Car nage, Turkish Army Success fully Defends Forts Outside Constantinople ■ (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Nov. 18.—The first Bul garian attack on the Turkish line of fortification defending Constantinople at Tchatalja has failed. The whole of the Bulgarian army was engaged. Every available man was moved to the front from the Bulgarian forces investing Adrianople, where they were relieved by Servian troops. The Bulgarians, with all their artil lery, began their advance on the Tcha talja fortifications on Saturday and con tinued the bombardment of the works throughout Sunday. They, however, found the Turkish positions so strong that they could make no impression on them and for, the moment at least the ! attempt has been given np, the firing, according to a dispatch from Constanti i nople, having ceased morning. ; Observers who have been to the Turk- I ish front agree that the capture of the 1 Tchatalja lines must prove a task of I tremendous difficulty. The days the Bul- I garian troops were compelled to use for ! the bringing up of guns, ammunition and reinforcements, were utilized by the I Turks to entrench themselves, giving them a distinct advantage over the at tacks. The Turkish solders, too, appear to have been steadied. The Bulgarian troops made their at tack east of Tchatalja. The strong forts, the marshes and the guns of f e Turkish warships evidently had discour aged them from making an -attempt to turn either flank of the Turkish lines. TURK LINE MAY HOLD. The Turks seem to have no hope of rolling back the Bulgarian forces, but if they succeed in holding the lines of i Tchatalja, both the military and diplo matic situation will undergo a marked I change, for a long defense of the front will probably compel the Bulgarians to enter into negotiations without captur ing the Turkish capital. •| In Albania the opposing armies have again come tp grips and another battle is in progress today near Monastir. At Scutari the Montenegrins finally are making some headway. They have ' driven Turkish troops from one of their mountain positions, but the Turkish commander has not given up hope of | making a long defense. 'GRIFFIN FAIR CLOSES ' AFTER FINE MEETING i First Annual County Exposition Draws Great Crowds to • See Exhibits 'Special Dispatch to The Journal.) GRIFFIN, Ga., Nov. first an nual fair to be given by the Griffin and Spalding County Fair association came to a close Saturday night, having run I throughout the entire week. It was in every way one of the most successful [county fair* ever held in the state, and lin the matter of attendance far ex ceeded the recent State fair. The suc cess has so encouraged the officers of the association that they are even now discussing the next fair, which will be held a year hence, and which de clare will be upon a much larger scale than the first There was not the full and hearty support of all Griflinites at the begin ning of the project for holding a fair in this city, as many did not believe it could be made a success, but the show just closed was a surprise and source of pride to all, and now every one is "boosting the one to be held next year. No one thing contributed so much to drawing the crowds as did the horse racing, and lovers of the sport were here from all parts of Georgia and ad joining states. The track, although built very hurriedly and completed only a few days beforp the opening of the gates, is one of the fastest in the state. This was proved by Marie Bradley, who on Thursday made a mile in 2:11, the fastest mile ever made on a half-mile track in Georgia. Another good drawing card was Har old Kantner, the aviator. who made four flights in his French monoplane, which were very successful and were witnessed by many thousand visitors. The success of the fair was due in no small part to the earnest and faithful work of the officers, who are: < A. P. Patterson, president; R. O. Crouch, vice president; E. P. Bridges, secretary; S. B. Fry. treasurer. Those who volunteer ed their time and means to building the race track and accomplished what many believad to be impossible, were Y. S. B. i Gray, J. Eli Brewer, John Bassett and W. T- Jones, and a grateful has been unstinted in its praise of the work i accomplished by these men. - ■ - 1, • ~ v insurance companies controlled by the alleged swindlers.

ASHBURN, Ga., Nov. 18.—Following closely after the report of Dr. John Funke, the Atlanta chemist, that no poison was found in the stomach of Miss Minnie Marchman, it is reported that the girl’s body will be exhumed and that a minute examination of other organs will be made to determine whether or not the young woman died of -poisoning. Another interesting report received Monday is that yqung Tan Cleghorn, the fiance of the dead girl, was seen in the neighborhood Sunday, and that he can be easily located if a warrant is taken out for his arrest. Plans for the exhuming of Mis Marchman’s body were suggested after the report from Dr. Funke, in which he suggested that this be done. Dr. Funke’s report to Dr. W. J. Dixon follows: “Up until 'the present time I have found nothing in the stomach contents to account for the death of the girl, Miss Marchman. Since the stomach contains practically nothing except mucus, it is very probable that if the death was due to a poison, that sub stance was all absorbed. In order to clear up the mystery, I would like to do a more extended autopsy or ex amination of the body, and procure such organs in which the poison is likely to be found. I would be glad to come down to do the post-mortem examina tion and bring back with me such or gans as found necessary to clear up the mystery. "Your truly, “J. FUNKE.’’ “P. s.—The stomach itself will now be examined if you do not see fit to have a further post-mortem examina tion. J- F.” The Atlanta expert's proposal that Miss Marchman’s body be exhumed and a farther examination made of other organs, has been accepted. He has been asked to come down here within the next few days and superintend the work of determining what drug, if any, caused the death of the young woman whom Cleghorn promised to make his bride. THEMES FOR MINISTERS. The death of Miss Marchman formed the texts of pastors of both Methodist and Baptist pastors Sunday. Rev. W. E. Towson, of the Methodist church, round ly scored newspapers for the prominence given the case. A strong- sermon was delivered by Rev. C. C. Davison, pastor of the Ash burn First Baptist church. He held that the girl’s death was a warning to par ents for safeguarding their girls. Taking as his subject, “Our Rock— The Christ,” he begged that Christian influence be used in homes to com bat the menaces of young womanhood. He said in part: “The deplorable affair that has hap pened in our county cries out to us more forcibly than mere human words can express for the supreme need of this rock in our homes, and in our everyday life. < “Had poor, misguided Minnie March man sought protection of the rock she would have had about her frail being a shield that no man could have pene trated, no matter with what pleasing, sugar-coated influences the evil might have tempted her. "Had Tan Cleghorn been on the rock he would never have allowed tempta tion to cause him to besmirch the puri ty and wreck the life of a young girl and bring a cloud of shame and sorrow on the good name of a family forever. "This awful tragedy should be a warning to others. Nd home is safe from the invasion of the evil one, and fathers and mothers should place their feet squarely on the rock, the Christ, and save their children and their homes.” \ m m TRUST LOSES ■ SUPREME COURT APPEAL government Sustained-Death Blow Dealt to Anti-Trust Law Violators (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.—The su preme court of the United States today delivered a death blow at violations of the Sherman anti-trust law under the cloak of protection of the patent laws, by annulling as invalid “license agree ments" which held manufacturers of sanitary enamelled ironware together in the combination known as the "bathtub trust.” Justice McKenna delivered tha- unan imous opinion of the court. He said that rights conferred by patents were extensive, but did not give a universal license against the positive prohibitions of the Sherman law. The decision ful ly sustained the government in its fight begun over a year ago against the bathtub and enameled ware manufac turers. The fight was begun by the govern ment in the United States district court of Maryland, it being charged that the fifty defendants named had entered into a combination to restrain interstate trade in sanitary enameled ironware and had attempted to monopolize that trade. Sixteen of the defendants were corpora tions. ILLEGAL AGREEMENTS. One of the individual defendants was Edwin L. Wayman, with whom the cor porate defendants and their officials were charged with having entered into illegal agreements, in effect licenses, for the use of a patented enameling tool. Wayman was to refund part of the li cense fee if the manufacturers had not violated any conditions of the agree ments, among these conditions being one that they would not sell to any job ber who did not sign a contract not to buy from any other than the corporate defendants; and another that they would not sell at a lower price or on more at tractive terms than those named in a schedule of prices attached to the agree ment. The lower court held that the agree ments destroyed competition and fixed prices in violation of the Sherman law, and furthermore, that the patent on the tool did not make the agreements law ful. The lower court prohibited the de fendants from attempting further to restrain trade by means of these agree ments, pronounced illegal. Justice McKenna, in announcing the decision of the supreme court, called at tention to the effectiveness of the com bination made possible among the en amel ware manufacturers through Way man’s plan to grant licenses on his im provement for enameling. The decision marked an epoch in anti trust decisions, but it sustained the gov ernment's contention that a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law could not be concealed behind the patent laws of the country. The decision of the lower court was upheld throughout as to the main defendants and the Colwell Lead company, which claimed it was not en gaged in interstate commerce.

C., Nov. 18.—George Newton, seventy yers old, was killed un der a falling casket display case in an undertaking establishment, where he had gone to buy a coffin for his wife, who had died a few hours before in a local hospital.

Seevral exhibtis that were ndt in place Saturday night when the initial presentation of the show was made, were located Monday morning. Some that were incomplete then had been filled out meanwhile.

Daylight made no difference, when the show’s doors were opened at 10 o’clock Monday morning for the day. All of the windows of the big structure had been darkened, so that the brilliant lighting of the interior was undimmed by the bright fall sun shining out side, and the decorative effects were not altered.

The concerts by the Fifth infantry band, twice a day, will be rendered from i 2:30 to 5 o’clock each afternon and; from 8 to 10:30 o'clock each night. MANY JOIN JOURNAL URGING CITIZENS TO SEE INAUGURATION Governor Brown, State, ty and City Officials, Bank 4 ers and Business Men Sayj Thousands Should Attend State, county and city officials, bank ers, lawyers, merchants and othef bust! ness men are unanimous Monday ia| their indorsement of The Journal’s sug-4 gestion that Georgia should send M mammoth delegation to Washington onl March 4 to the inauguration of Wood 4 row Wilson to the presidency. An immediate response was forthcons4 from Atlanta’s city fathers. They are already planning for the mayor and members of general council to charts! a Pullman car. or cars, and attend the inauguration in a body to officially repj resent the city where Woodrow Wilsoni was admitted to the practice of law. | The Journal’s editorial, "Let Georgial Be There,” has been re&d and noted byi practically every man in Atlanta, and comment upon it is heard everywhere! Many prominent citizens have come for-] ward with expressions indorsing Ths Journal’s idea and joining with thw paper in urging every Georgian whs can to make arrangements to go to the) history-making event. GOVERNOR BROWN. | | Governor Brown, who expects to be 14 Washington for the occasion if his oflH clal duties will permit, stated Monda4 morning that Georgia had a greater senJ timental interest in the inaugurating than any other state, and that it 14 peculiarly fitting that this state should be represented in the festivities byes large delegation. He pointed out the presidentet-elect is a former Geor4 gian, having spent his boyhood an<i young manhood here; that his wife wa4 a native Georgia girl and that two of) his daughters were born in this statsj The governor said that every GeorgiaN who could do so should attend the in-« * auguration. He was very muen pleased with the suggestion that Georgians ge) to Washington in an organized bodyj with bands and banners anti that they} take a conspicuous part in ths cere4 ’ monies. JUDGE GEORGE HILLYER. Judge George Hillyer, senior membell of the state railroad commission, and the judge who in the spring of 1883 admitted the president-elect, then a resty dent of Atlanta, to the legal said: I think The Journal is to be conH mended for its strong efforts promoting an emphatic demonstration by our state at Washington on ths 4tM of March next, when Woodrow Wilsoal is inaugurated president I am nat4 urally full of the subject because I can! recollect v when a lad standing on my| father’s gate post and hurrahing for "Polk, Dallas and Texas,” away back lai the ’4o’s. This was the Democratic! slogan of the day, and it triumphed. V have been a Democrat ever since them James K. Polk, of Tennessee, the the 4 I Democratic candidate for president, wad elected and inaugurated the next 4th of March, 1845. There has neved been a southern man occupying the pres idential office after President Polk’d term expired, until the coming inaugj uration of Woodrow Wilson. The elee! tion of Woodrow Wilson is a great even(| for the nation and for the south. A new era has begun for both, under which! justice, equality and represenatlve gov-j ernm nt has in the truest sense come td its own again. Georgia is more idenJ titled with Woodrow Wilson than and other state and I think she should bd the i.iost emphatic and. If possible, thd most conspicuous in the great cere-i monies of thal auspicious occasion. Th<| Journal has spoken out well and strong, on the subject and I trust will con-| tlnue to do so." Asa G. Candler, one of Atlanta’s most! prominent and one of thd south's largest manufacturers, when| seen by a Journal reporter, said: "I am going to be in Washington to see a southern Democrat take the oath! as president of the United StatesJ Every Georgian should go, even if they! have to lock up the house and take al week’s rations with them. We are get-l ting back home, back to the Whitd House, and we should let the peopld know it. “It is our privilege as well as oufl duty to be in Washington on that oc-1 casion, when a new turn in the history! of our country will commence. “The state’s military should be there! to a man. Not a single member of thd I national guard of Georgia should be! missing from the ranks when the greatj • parade passes the streets of thd nation’s capital ctty. The whole state" of Georgia should be represented by< thousands of its citizens to see thd | greatest man in present history become) president.” , . WALTER P. ANDREWS. Walter P. Andrews, former exalted ruler of the Atlanta Elks and one ofl the Wilson leaders ip Georgia during both the primary and general - • campaigns, was strong in his ment of the idea and believes that it id ’ the state’s opportunity to make itself! better known in the eyes of the nationJ “Georgia should run several special trains to Washington to the inauguraj tion of one of its former citizens,” aakfl j Colonel Andrews to a Journal reporter! “I will be one of the number aboanSS one of the special trains, and I hope than there are more than 5,000 besides my-| self who will be there on March 4. , !
