STATE CHAMBER PLANS NEW ERA FOR GEORGIA Next Important Step Is Name Secretary, Only Salaried Office to (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MACON, Ga., Sept. 18.—Now that the Georgia chamber of commerce has been formally launched, officers chosen, the next place of meeting decided upon and a sufficient sum of money raised to begin work, all eyes are turned upon the executive committee, eager to hear its choice for secretary, the oniy salaried office in the organization. While the president and vice presi dents were elected by the delegates the matter of naming a secretary was left entirely at the discretion of this com mittee. For the opening convention, M. B. Powell, of Columbus, was selected to fill the place for that one session. Charles J. Haden, of Atlanta, who was unanimously elected to head the state chamber, was enthusiastic over the great success of the convention and sees ahead a bright future for the organiza tion and a new era in Georgia. Abso lute harmony characterized the gather- lug. T(ie delegates, over 350 in number, l nr |o-p Qnpor Dope Mn+ all representative men, practically all JUU5C ufJCCI UUCo l\Ul strangers to each other up to the call ing of the convention to order, were strangers no longer, but rather were they a cohesive body of Georgians, with no selfish interests for their own sec tions, but there for a common purpose —to make the state chamber of com- raerme a lasting organization for the advancement of every interest. Probably never before in the history of Georgia has there ever been gathered under one roof as representative a gath ering of men as those who composed the first convention of the organiza tion. And they were men who were willing to back up their convictions with real money. When the call for the $2,000 necessary just at this time was made, there was a veritable stampede in the conventnon to get on the roll of honor. Five thousand dollars could have been raised just as easily and in very little longer time. Eugene E. Stetson, presi dent of the Macon chamber, started the ball rolling with a subscription of $200, and was followed with a like amount Subscribed by Wilmer L. Moore, of the Atlanta chamber. Americus followed with $100 and from then on, so fast did the pledges come in that the secre tary could not keep up with them, and asked that they come in slower. Aside from money given by the vari ous trade organizations represented, many of the delegates pledged them selves to personally subscribe and a large part of. the first subscription was secured from this source. The pledges were received amid the wildest enthu siasm. Each subscription was the signal for a renewed outburst of ap plause. In entertaining the visitors Macon did herself proud. Nothing was left un- dne for their comfort. Her welcome was most cordial and most cordially re ceived. Between the morning and aft ernoon sessions a delightful luncheon was served in the Hotel Dempsey ball room. Before adjournment, the convention voted to meet here again in January for the purpose of getting down to ac tive business and plan for the future activities of the state chamber. i ULSTER RAISES ARMY TO HELP HOME RULE Unionist Leader Inspects 100,- 000 Men Who Form Ire- Jand’s Standing Army (By Associated Press.)

GENERAL OTIS OBJECT Californian Saved From In- fernal Machine by Watchful Jap Servant (By Associated Press.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 18.—Gen eral Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times, received an infernal machine by mail yesterday. It was the second time within three years that Gen eral Otis’ life had been attempted by a bomo. Any chance of his being killed or in jured by the bomb was foiled by the watchfulness of General Otis’ Japanese servant, who became suspicious of the package and called his employer’s at tention to it. The first infernal machine sent to General Otis was found at his residence a few hours after his newspaper plant had been destroyed through the efforts of the McNamara conspirators. MEXICAN ISSUE CAUSE. The attempt on his life today was at tributed by the general to agencies friendly to those whose conspiracy end ed in the destruction of the Times building and the killing of twenty-one men three years ago. The police and postal authorities, however, believed that the Mexican question probably had a part in it. General Oitis is largely interested in lands in the Mexican territory of Lower California where, two years ago, Indus trial Workers of the World joined the “direct action” element of Mexicans in an effort to establish a socialistic com monwealth. A few weeks ago there was An out break, caused, according to reports, by the employment of Chinese in the place of Mexican laborers by ranchers in Low er California. General Otis asserted at the time that none were employed by him. The bomb reached the “Bivouac,” Gen eral Otis’ home, at 11 o’clock yesterday morning. It was contained in a small package five inches long, three inches wide and two inches deep, wrapped in brown paper. With other mail, it was given by the postman to the Japanese servant. He removed the wrapping paper before taking it to General Otis and told the general that he thought there was something suspilious about the pack age. “I- pooh-poohed the boy’s belief at first.” said General Otis, “but examined the box carefully. I could see parts of matches and black powder. I had the boy remove the thing and asked the police department to send a man to my home.” Captain F. B. Feltz, a powder expert in the police department, took the ma chine to a field near the Los Angeles river and there pried open the box. He found the matches fixed to the inside of the cover' in such 7 a way that if it were opened they would have. rubbed against pieces of sandpaper and ig nited some loose black powder which would have fired a scrap of fuse set in detonating steps fixed in two sticks of 85 per cent dynamite. The apparatus was ingenious and deadly. The dyna mite, when tested, exploded, tearing a great hole in the earth. General Otis had a “surmise only” concerning the bomb. “That surmise,” said he, “is that it was sent to me by the devils, who wanted to blow up The Times and me. They may be the same old gang or agents of the same old gang with the same old animosity.” Chief of Police Sebastian inclined to the theory that the bomb had been sent by some person violently opposed to General Otis’ newspaper policy with regard to the Huerta administration in Mexico. Mexican residents of Los An geles celebrated today the one hun dred and third anniversary of Mexican independence. Partisanship ran high, according to Sebastian. “It is possible,” he said, “that some of the disgruntled Mexicans sought to kill the newspaper man whom they be lieved to be supporting Huerta.” General Otis, who was a close friend of former President Porfirio Diaz, of Mexico, owns much land in the south ern republic. He is largely interested in the California and Mexico ranch and cattle company, which owns great tracts in lower California and Sonora. Reports from Yuma, Ariz., today were to the effect that insurrectors recently had declared their intention to “clean up” all the California and Mexico Ranch and Cattle company holdings. Inspectors Probe Attempt On General Otis’ Life WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—A rigid in vestigation of the latest attempt upon the life of General Harrison Gray Otis at Los Angeles is being made by post- office inspectors. No official report had been received today at the postoffice department, but one is expected from the Los Angeles office. Chief Inspector Johnson is giving the case his per sonal attention. ALABAMA FARMER IS HUNTING LOST BOY (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ROME, Ga., Sept. 18.—Friends and relatives of Wiley Gossett, a son of R. D. Gossett, a farmer living across the Alabama line, on R. F. D. No. 2, Jack sonville, are alarmed at the boy’s mys terious disappearance and fear that he has met foul play. He disappeared on September 9, and has not been seen or heard of since. When he left home he was wearing blue overalls, dark striped coat and pants, and black hat. He is of fair com plexion, with blue eyes and dark hair. RUN DOWN BY TEAM HE TRIED TO QUIET DALTON, Ga., Sept. 18.—In attempt- ng to quiet his team when it became frightened yesterday, Sam Thompson, a local merchant, was struck down by the plunging horses and severely, but not fatally injured. He was unconscious for -;ome time, and an examination showed three ribs had been fracture^ and he 'had sustained ! severe bruises. Two Aged Vets of North and South to Run Foot Race (By Associated Press.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 18.— The challenge for a foot race recently issued by Colonel J. L. Smith, aged sixty-nine, of Detroit, Mich., . a Union veteran, has J>een accepted by Private M. Wolf, aged eighty, a local Confed erate veteran. The trial of speed will take place at Chamberlain field Thurs day afternoon, according to announce- ment made today. One hundred yards is tne distance selected by the contestants.

Three other Union veterans have an nounced that they will contest for championship honors with Colonel Smith in a three-mile race. This race also will be run Thursday afternoon and the veterans have agreed to par ticipate in the 100-yard race, so that the chances in the three-mile race will be equal. These veterans are George W. Howe, aged seventy, of Port Huron, Mich.; Colonel S. G. Barnes, aged sixty- eight, of Pittsburgh, and William A. Heinshon, sixty-nine, of Cleveland.

DIXIE FLYER SAVED FROM DEATH TRAP BY VIGILAJTENGINEER Ragsdale Closes Throttle in Time to Prevent Train Hurt ling Into Switch Broken by Fiendish Plotters Engineer T. B. Ragsdale frustrated an attempt to wreck the Dixie Flyer, “Pride of the Central of Georgia,” at Hampton, Ga., Tuesday night at 9:20 o’clock. But for the vigilance and presence of mind the train, laden with scores of passengers just retiring to their berths, would have dashed into a trap at a fifty-mile-an-hour gait and been precipitated into the ditch, a mass of twisted wreckage. Railroad detectives and special a are endeavoring Wednesday to fin man or men who, plotting the destruc tion of the fast train, broke open the lock of a switch stand controlling the approach of a siding, cunningly set the switch point in a neutral position be tween the rails of the main line and those of the side track, and then placed blocks of steel in the opening so the lo comotive would be thrown from the track. Bloodhounds brought to the scene from the Monroe county convict camp failed to pick up the trail of the men, owing to recent rains. NO MOTIVE KNOWN. The motive for the attempted wreck ia known. Robbery is scoffed at by railroad officials. The crime has the earmarks of the work of a fiend who planned the disaster for revenge or simply to gratify an abnormal de-ire to wreak destruction. The Dixie Flyer leaves Atlanta night ly at 8:30 o’clock over the Central of Georgia traces. Its ultimate destination is Jacksonville, Fla. Engineer Rags dale pulls it from Atlanta to Macon. He was fifteen minutes late at Hamp ton Wednesday night and was getting the value of every pound of steam in an effort to regain the lost time. The train was going nearly fifty miles an hour when he rounded the curve leading to the Hampton yards. As the powerful headlight disclosed the track ahead, the engineer saw the switch stand lamp missing. He immediately applied the emergency brakes and brought the train to a full stop in seventy-five yards. He was too late to avoid running into the open switch, but owing to the decreas ed speed of the train the* locomotive bounded over the obstruction without leaving the rails. The missing lamp was found a few rods away in a corn field. It was still burning. No one was in sight. ENGINEER AROUSED FROM SLEEP. None of the passengers on the train were aroused and after the crew made a ten-minute investigation they proceeded to Macon. Engineer Ragsdale returned to Atlanta Wednesday morning bringing another train. He immediately went to bed in his room at 101 1-2 Whitehall street. Aroused from sleep a few hours later by a reporter and asked how he came to notice the missing lamp, he said: “Well, you know we’re paid to look out for things like that." “It was Mr. Westinghouse that pre vented the wreck anyhow,” he said: “You’ve got to take off your hat to him. He made the brakes that keep the trains from going into the ditch nowa days.” ffi”'-®.: )H i i|i" ;n ; )8 |, > ! »8,j|i ’ i '18, is wtammm ftl< I MASKED ROBBERS KIEL GUARD AND LOQT SAFE Force Way Into Station, Kill One Man,.
