OOT OF CENTRAL'S IMPROVEMENTS
8UCH A THING 18 PROBABLE, AC
CORDING TO AN OFFICIAL WHO
18 IN A POSITION TO KNOW
SOMETHING OF THE PLANS—
THE PROPOSED LOCATION.
A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce la called for 4 o'clock tomor
row afternoon to urge the mayor ana
council to treat liberally the petition
of the Central of Georgia railway for
certain grants of land In Tybeo, on
which the company wants to erect
additional shops.
An official whose name cannot be
mentioned said on Saturday that the
expenditure of a vast amount of money
by the Central meant more than the
extension of the immense shops.
It meant a new union depot
The official would not give the plana
of the company, but what he said,
and from other sources, It la learned
that the new union depot la practically
agreed upon, even the exact loca
tion. In fact, there are two plans, and
one or the other will be adopted and
carried out before the next Christ
mas.
It is understood that one of these
plans contemplates that the depot
proper, where the trains will run
through and without backing In as
at present, is to be located on that
portion of the old coni pres* between
Plum and Poplar streets. The pres
ent depot la to furnish the entrance.
The difficulty that tho company has
to contend with In th adoption of this
plan Is Fifth street, and this Is said
to be easily overcome.
All the trains over the Central, and
over all the railroad* entering Macon,
will pass through tho depot, or enter
1* and back out. This part of the de
pot will be devoted entirely to tho
trains, the present depot furnishing
the entrance for the traveling public
and the waiting rooms, baggage and
mall rooms, restaurant and general
offices. These rooms and offices will
be placed where tho tracks are now,
and on either side, leaving a wldo
walkway, open to the public, between
them. This walkway will he at least
fifty feet wide, and will be over four
hundred feet long, and paved the
same as a street.
The passenger enters from Fourth
street as la now' done, and he will
have long and commodious waiting
rooms Instead of the small rooms as
at present provided. F.very rnllwny
official, with whom he may have any
business, can be found under tho big
roof, along the sides of the wnfRwny.
Ho will pass through this walkway
and • take his train under th<* train
shed, which will embrace almost, the
entire block now occupied with the
trestles that were used by the old
compress.
It Is said that It Is possible that a
terminal company will bo organized to
build this new depot, but that If such
a company falls of organisation the
Central will itself build It.
It can readily be seen how the trains
of tho Central, the Georgia Southern
and Florida, the Georgia and tho Ma
con and Birmingham can use this
depot with no more than n chnngc of
tho switches, but the problem of how
It Is to be used by the Southern and
tho Macon, Dublin and Savannah Is
up to the engineers, and it Is said
that they have aolved it Thla, being
true, all the trains that enter Macon
will use the new depot.
The Fifth street problem !s to be
overcome by an underpass. It Is lnr
ttmated that the order for the steel
structural pieces for the other urder-
pssses, orders for which must bo
given several months In advance, In
cludes the steel for this. However,
this Is not certain..
As was stated yesterday, the mem
bers of council who went over the re
servo where the land Is nsked for,
were practically unanimous for a fa
vorable report on the Central's peti
tion. which sets out In full what will
be done, without mentioning the new
union depot Then, In the opinion of
the offlc’al quoted, when tho petition
h granted the new union depot Is as
sured. Thst It is a part of the pro.
posed Improvements there seems to
be no doubt.
Talks with citizens of all clashes
fall to find a man who Is not In favor
of granting the petition of tho com
pany.

the general superintendent in turn, and
that the requests In question had noi
been presented to these subordinate off!
“'flis representatives of the engineers
claim thst most of the matters they de
sire to present to the general manager
have already been submitted to the di
vision and gen -- * 1—
"Upon sxan. —
that the committee eliminate from their
petition to the general manager such
requests as have not been aubmttt

they be taken up In regular course with

"As to the remaining requests,
recommend that the general manager

appeal has been pending and promptly
meet with the committee and take up
for settlement those matters thtu. have
In fact and aubatance been passed
by the subordinate officers.
"In the future
commend that a
reasonable time be fixed within which
any appeal to the general manager must

time be fixed within which subordinate
officers ehnll pass upon requests pre

OSCAR REID’S CASE
SOLDIER DISCHARGED ACCOUNT
BROWNSVILLE SHOOT-UP
* 8TILL_FIQHT8,
WASHINGTON, Dec. (1—The bloody
affray at Brownsville, Texaa, which re
HUltefi m the discharge from the army
by President Roosevelt of the negm
troopH alleged to have b«*n Implicated,
will come up for hearing again tomor
row before the United States supreme
court.
At this hearing the members of tho
supreme bench will listen to arguments
In tho case of the former negro sol
dier, Oscar Reid, who was dismissed
from the sorvice without honor
account of his alleged participation In
the Brownsville affair.
Tho suit was Instituted by Reid in
the United States circuit court for
southern New York for pay during the
time of his enlistment. The verdict of
that court was against him and he
brought an appeal to the supreme
court on tho ground that the preside
had exceeded his constitutional pow
In dismissing tho three companlos
without a trial by courtinartlal.
In the case of negro soldiers who
hUve upplled for re-cnllstment In the
army, measures to permit such action
will probably bo considered by con
gress. One. of these applications Is
from Sergeant Mingo Sanders, a mem
ber of the discharged bnttalion of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, who has had
thirty years' service In the army.
It Is understood the president dts 1
approved tho application on the gen
eral ground that tho negro has not
produced satisfactory or sufficient
proof of hls Innocence, and that, hav
Ing failed to do so within three months
of his discharge, the statute governing
such cases restrains the president from
acting. Ho token the ground that
bills now pending before the senato
propose giving him authority to re-
enllst soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
regiment, find some measure pvobabry
will bn enacted at the next session of
congress.

When the controversy was submlttad

THI8 CONDITION, WITH CAPITAL
AWAITING INVESTMENT, ARE
STRONG FEATURE8 OF
SITUATION.
NEW YORK, Deo. I—The stock
market as a medium for the expres
sion of speculative opinions showed the
piny of strong contending force* .dur
ing almost tho whole of last week.
There were days of marked strength
and. days of acute weakneits and othor
days When opposing movements were
going on at the aamv time In great
confusion. The opposing opinions
ranged themselves broadly on the con
servative view of danger from over
•peculation on the one aide and on the
confidence In the security of abundant
money and bonking resources to sus
tain the speculation on the other. The
lattor view was not altored material
ly by the Increased firmness In tho
money market caused by the^bsorp*
tlon of resources In many directions,
the margin of surplus supplies still
remaining being pointed to as ample
ossiirnnc,. of means to retain specula
tive holdings with safety.
New lesuee In Demand.
The principal avenue of absorption
of available resources et present Is
through the Issue of new securities.
The readiness with which these pew
issues have been absorbed and the
large resources of capital awaiting In
vestment thus Indicated have fceen
pointed to as one of the strongest
features of the situation. While thle
Is true there Is the modifying consid
eration that a largo proportion of the
recent new financing Is in the form of
refunding short time obligations whleh
were put out by the great corporations
In the period of financial stress from
which th<* country Is emerging and for
which extravagant rates Interest were
paid. The new financing reveals ma
terial relief from the onerous rates
paid on the earlier temporary obliga
tions. The lower prices offered for
the now securities constitute «n at
traction for capital.
Liquidation of Foreign Holdings.
Another source of pressure Involved
In the sustained high level of prices
for ftecurltles comes from the pereta-
teat liquidation of foreign holdings of
American securities. The outgo of

striking testimony of the congested
condition of the money market In this

fact that the treasury department was
withdrawing funds from tho money

further light on the unusual conditions
