NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA’S CAPITAL
DICTATES COMMITTEEMEN.
FREIGHT BUREAU PUTS OX THE
ME.\ IT WANTS.
lonr of a. Committee of Seven the
Mayor Nanifd Are Put OR to Make
Room for Poor Warned by the
Atlanta Freight Bnrean ThU
Committee la to Confer With
Hail road# Over Rates, Provided
the Railroad# Do Wot Object to
Its Composition.
Atlanta, Nov. X. —After a rather
etormy scene In Council this afternoon
over the naming of a committee to
confer with the railroads over the ad
justment of freight rates to and from
Atlanta, a committee of seven citizens
was finally appointed to undertake this
.vork. This committee is composed of
S. D. Jones, E. M. Hudson, J. K. Orr,
L. Gholstin, W. E. Newell, J. C.
Oglesby and H. S. Johnson.
Four of the members of the commit
tee were named at the Instance of the
Atlanta Freight Bureau, which has
been pushing the fight, the City Coun
cil nermittlng this and thus removing
four members of the committee who
had previously been appointed by May
or Howell. The charge was made that
these four members were “too disinter
ested."
The Freight Bureau insisted on hav
ing its active partisans on the com
mittee and four of them were thus
named, despite the fact that the rail
roads, who said they were willing to
submit the freight rate situation to
conference with a committee named by
the Mayor, declared they would not
treat with a committee from the At
lanta Freight Bureau.
The committee as appointed may be
said to have been appointed by the
mayor, but since the Freight Bureau
has been permitted to dictate four of
the members, it remains to be seen
what attitude the railroads will take.
Efforts will be made to have the con
ference begin within the next few
days, and it is probable there will be
some interesting developments. One of
the railroad commissioners stated to
day, in effect, that the commission
would, still prosecute the fight along
the lines it has mapped out, regardless
of any compromise the city of Atlanta
might arrive at through its conference
committee.
This means that if Atlanta should
secure an acceptable compromise on
the rate question, the litigation now
pending over circulars 301 and 302 will
be pushed to a finish by the state
authorities. Attorney General Hart is
preparing to bring the matter of inter
state rates to the attention of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, which
it is said will be in Atlanta the latter
part of the month, and a hearing may
he secured at that time.
Wedding Bolls Did Sot Iting Ont.
A woman 22 years old tvas arrested
here to-day on a complaint from Chat
tanooga stating she was wanted for
purloining a diamond ring from a man
named Roselle, with whom she is said
to have performed in vaudeville. She
save her name as Myrtle Roselle and
said she had come to Atlanta to marry
.1. M. Hagan, a railroad conductor,
with whom she was found at the time
of her arrest at the Jackson Hotel.
The diamond ring, valued at $l5O,
was found on her person.
The prospective wedding avas thus
rudely interrupted, and she is being
held awaiting an officer from Chatta

THE ROOT OP THE MATTER. ~
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting IXown to
First Principles.
A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent Eastern cities, by too close
attention to business, too little exer
cise and too many club dinners, final
ly began to pay nature’s tak, levied
in the form of chronic stomach trou
ble; the failure of his digestion
brought about a nervous irritability,
making it impossible to apply himself
to his daily business, and finally de
ranging the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: “I con
sulted one physician after another,
and each one seemed to understand
my case, but all the same they each
failed to bring about the return of my
former digestion, appetite and vigor.
For two years I went from pillar to
post, from one sanitarium to another.
I gave up smoking, I quit coffee and
even renounced my daily glass or two
of beer, but without any marked im
provement.
“Friends had often advised _ me to
try a well known proprietary" medi
cine, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and
I Had often perused the newspaper
advertisements of the remedy, but
never took any stock in advertised
medicines nor could believe a 50-cent
patent medicine would touch my case.
“To make a long story short, I
finally bought a couple of packages at
the nearest drug store and took two
or three tablets after each meal, and
occasionally a tablet between meals,
■when 1 felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort.
“I was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general
health, and before the two packages
were gone I was certain that Stuart’s
dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure
completely, and they did not disap
point me. I can eat and sleep and en
joy my coffee and cigar, and no one
would suppose I had ever known
1 .. " orror s of dyspepsia.
* rlen diy curiosity I wrote
to the proprietors of the remedy ask
.s. * or Ififofthhtion as to what the
ik 8 contain ed, and they replied
that the principal ingredients were
nseptic pepsin (government test),
■halt distage and other natural diges
tives, which digest food regardless of
of the stomach.”
The root of the matter is this, the
oigestlve elements contained in
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
tne food, give the overworked stom
acn a chance to recuperative and the
nerves and whole system receive the
nourishment which can only come

Atlanta Getting Religion.
Since the beginning of the present
series of religious revivals in Atlanta
a few weeks ago there have been 71S
children and young persons convert
ed at the Various churches. The total
number of adults converted is not
known yet, as the cards have not been
consolidated, but the number is es
timated to be at least 2,000. It is also
stated that 3,000 church members have
been rededicated to religious work.
From all outward manifestations, it is
by far the most effective series of meet
ings ever held in Atlanta.
To-morrow has been set apart as a
day of prayer. The city government
has declared a holiday, and nearly 500
business houses and offices have agreed
to close their doors for the afternoon.

NEWARK MEETING.

which we are invited to look with
favor,” Judge Parker continued. “We
are asked to turn from our own
mighty but peaceful triumphs, from
the spectacle of a continent settled by
a homeogeneous people, attached to
liberty, fitted to govern themselves, in
order that we may enter upon the be
ginning of a policy which must In
evitable end in the adoption of the
other methods which I have so briefly
and so imperfectly outlined.
“When we are asked, then, to turn
away from the assured triumphs which
a popular system—familiar as house
hold words—has brought to us, and
to adopt methods which, opposed to all
our traditions, have not even the merit
of success, or of bringing self-govern
ment, happiness and contentment to a
single people thus far subjected to
them, we may well enter our protest
against such a policy. If, under a
government of constitutional restraints
and regard for law, we have been able,
through peace and war, foreign and
internecine, to grow from a population
of 3,000,000 to one of 80,000,000, why may
we not go on until we have doubled
that number? Why should we not con
sent to take even the first step, which
according to its advocates, is certain
to lead us to what they call, ‘empire?’
Alliance# With the Strong.
“It is within the recollection of
great masses of our population, as it
is within the knowledge of all. that
the sympathies of our people formerly
went out to the small countries of the
old world, which were struggling for
recognition or independence.
“But now a different story is told.
We hear strange reports of alliances;
but they are with those governments
in which the strength of their armies
and navies is more in evidence than
their devotion to popular rule. We
hear utterances, or see acts. In which
contempt is shown for small countries.
Instead of treasuring Washington’s
admonition to be friendly to all na
tions. but to form alliances with none,
the idea now uppermost in some of our
diplomacy seems to be that this doc
trine is outworn and obsolete, and
that because we are 80,000,000 instead
of 10,000,000, we should change our po
litical habits and adopt methods and
manners long since rejected.
"But there are other directions in
which we have departed widely from
our early traditions and which now
menace our people Industrially. We all
know that during the last quarter of
a century vast changes have taken
place in our Industrial condition
changes that have tended to do away
with competition and have placed
the leading industries of the country
in the control of a few men. We
have been warned against this ten
dency from time to time by thought
ful and far-seeing men, but the warn
ing has not been heeded. To-day. how
ever. most men are able to appreciate
that It would have been wise to heed
the warning earlier. Now the task
of checking the evil Is greater. Those
who have enjoyed special privileges,
enabled them indirectly to tax the
people, together with those who have
by combinations obtained practically
the control of certain kinds of busi
ness, have grown so strong that they
feel able to control elections, thus
preventing Interference with the pow
er they enjoy. The effect of that
power.as wielded, has been to Increase
the cost of living to all; to add to the
burdens of every one, without corre
sponding benefit or any benefit.
Cost of Living Increased.
“It Is conceded that during the last
three or four years the Increase In the
cost of living has amounted to one
sixth. Secretary Shaw rejoices In It.
And he says the wages of the working
men and the income of our people are
greater in proportion. Now, If that I#
true, the householder# of this country
know It. If not. their wives do. They
know whether the Income of the bread
winner is greater by one-sixth than It
waa four veara ago. There are in
stance# In whjch It I#. But the groat
majority of you will find it la not true.
You will dlarover (hut It require# Just

to make both ends meet from month
to month. *
“Now, why is it that the prices of
the things we have to have are pushed
up a little from time to time, whether
there be improvement in our incomes
or not? It is in part because the busi
ness of this country to-day is largely
in the control of combinations or
trusts, which are enabled to shut out
competition, and thus control prices ar
bitrarily.
“We had a great coal strike in 1902.
The result of it was to cause some dis
tress and threaten a good deal more.
That contest was expensive to both
sides. It was permanently expensive
to labor. It was but temporarily ex
pensive to the controllers of the coal
properties. Almost immediately after
the mining and distribution of coal had
been resumed, they advanced the price
50 cents per ton. They did this for the
purpose of compelling our people to
pay the expenses of their contest with
their workmen. This is usual, not un
usual. I cite it as an illustration, be
cause it is well known to all who pur
chase coal. You each know that the
price was increased 50 cents per ton al
most immediately after the strike.
Should Punish Trusts.
“When an individual violates the
l'aw, the law punishes him. When a
corporation violates the law, the law
should punish it. A corporation is no
more entitled to immunity from the
consequences of its wrongful acts than
the individual. A combination of in
dividuals tp control the market price
of products of any kind Is void. A com
bination of corporations for a similar
purpose is alike void. We would not
hesitate for a moment to prosecute
the individual violating the law for the
purpose of oppressing the people. Why
should there be any hesitation in en
forcing the law against great corpora
tions for illegal business? Are the
artificial creations of the government
exempt in practice from the operation
of that scared principle of equal and
exact justice ao' all men? It ought not
to be so. And it will not long be so if
we as a people act wisely in both state
and national contests.
“I am obliged to omit more than cal
ling your attention to other issues
which divided the parties. Among those
issues are these:
Other Issues.
“Administrative extravagance must
be checked.
“There must be equal opportunity
for all. and special privileges for none.
“This shall remain a government of
laws, not of men.
“There must be a reform of the tar
iff.
“This nation will no more hold an
other people in perpetual bondage than
It will tolerate the enslaving of indi
viduals bv Us citizens.
“Overwhelming in importance as are
these issues, above them tower the
-questions;
“Shall the partnership between the
Republican leaders and the trusts con
tinue with profit to both, and hurt to
the country?
“Shall the trusts’ contributions of
millions to the campaign fund secure
the right to continue the wrongful tak
ing of many millions a year from the
EXPIATING THE MURDER.
Slayers of Dr. Lnhnree Are Pursued
by Persian Troops.
Washington, Nov. I.—Mr. Pearson,
United States minister to Persia, to
day cabled the State Department that
he has emphatically reiterated his un
equivocal demand for the Just and
proper punishment of those responsi
ble for the murder of Dr. Labaree, the
American missionary.
Mr. Pearson also reported that he
had Just been told by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who received his in
formation from the Crown Prince,
that six of the accessories to the mur
der, whils endeavoring to escape, were
killed yesterday afternoon by Persian
forces and that the remainder of the
gang is being actively pursued by the
military.
By way of retribution for Labaree’s
mutilation the Persian military com
mander had two of the ringleaders de
capitated and their heads exposed on
bayonets.
New Bank for Fort Valley.
Fort Valley, Ga., Nov. I.—The First

history.
TOM WATSON HEARD BY
AN AUDIENCE AT THOMASVILLE
Followed the Trend of Speeches Made Elsewhere
During His Campaign.
Thomasville, Ga.. Nov. I.—Thomas
E. Watson, candidate of the People’s
party for President, arrived in Thom
asville from Statesboro this morning,
and spoke at the Thomas County
Court House for an hour and a half
to an audience of 500. the majority of
whom were Democrats.
He was introduced by Col. S. G. Mc-
Lendon, a life-long Democrat, who Is

but he was suffering from sore throat
and could not speak out of doors. His
talk was delivered in conversational
style and only occasionaly did he grow’
vehement, though his wit caused en
thusiastic shouts from his supporters.
His speech reiterated the arguments
and assertions made all over tlie
South. He condemned the Republi
cans for class legislation and their
theory of federal taxation. He said
that the 5,000 national banks were 5,-
000 monsters that ought to be swept
off the earth.
He paid a high tribute to President
Roosevelt’s personality. He declared
that the Democrats did not differ
HORSES BURNED
BY FIRE FIENDS
SECOND ATTEMPT TO BURN.
TWO VALUABLE TROTTERS BE
LONGING TO H. F. KUCK INCIN
ERATED.
When Alarm Was Turned 111 tlic
Building Was In Flames nml the
Screams of the Burning Animals
Aroused the Residents—Fire Was
Undoubtedly of Incendiary Origin,
One Having Occurred There in the
Same Manner Some Weeks Ago.
The almost human screams of two
horses in the burning stable of Mr.
Herman F. Kuck, 126 Anderson street,
east, at 2 o’clock this morning, aroused
many residents in that section to dis
cover the stable in the rear of Mr.
Kuck’s residence in flames.
The alarm was quickly turned in,
but the entire building was in flames
before the apparatus arrived, and the
two valuable animals owned by Mr.
Kuck were incinerated.
The fire was undoubtedly of incen
diary origin, as it occurred in the
same manner as a fire on the same
premises several weeks ago. At that
time it was believed the fire, which
was extinguished before it gained
much headway, was the work of an
incendiary.
The stable in which Mr. Kuck
housed two of the finest trotting horses
in Savannah, Pointer Hal and Pauline,
both with splendid records, is a wood
en building, with stalls in the bottom
story and a fodder and grain loft in
the second story. When once on fire
the building burned rapidly, and the
horses were burned before they could
be liberated.
Mr. Kuck prized both animals very
highly, having paid SI,OOO for Pointer
Hal a short time ago.
But for the good work of the fire
department the adjoining buildings
would have been destroyed. The
flames had reached to one of the out
buildings, but this was quickly extin
guished on the arrival of the depart
ment. A careful examination proved
that the fire had been started by some
one fahilliar with the premises.
CALLS FOR*THE LAND.
Pity Says the M. D. A S. Did Not
Carry Ont Its Contract.
Macon, Nov. I.—At a meeting of the
City Council of Macon to-night, a res
olution was introduced to enforce the
city’s contract with the Macon, Dublin
and Savannah Railroad. This con
tract provides that in case that,road
did not complete the extension of the
line to Savannah within twelve months’
time from the date of the contract in
1901, certain land and property granted
by the city to the company would re
vert to the city.
The company did not complete the
extension. The land and property is
now valued at about $50,000, and the
city will at once Institute proceedings
in the matter.
FAIRBANKS VERY BUSY.

LaPorte, Ind., Nov. I.—Nearly twen
ty speeches were made to-day by Sen
ator Charles W. Fairbanks, the Re
publican candidate for Vice President.
With one exception, that of Sturgis,
Mich., the Senator's addresses were
delivered to the citizens of his own
state. At ail points he was enthus
iastically welcomed and his speeches
were repeatedly punctuated with ’ap
plause.
During the day he dwelt mainly up
on the prevalence of prosperity
throughout the country, claiming that
this waa due to Republican adminis
tration of the government and that
its continuance was dependent upon
Republican success. At severtd points
he replied to portions of Judge Parker's
speech in New York referring to the
opening of foreign markets to Ameri
can products. Mr. Fairbanks main
tained that our foreign trade waa rap

policy.

criticism of Judge Parker.
He denied that the negro question
was an issue, and said that the only
reason the negro was not disfranchised
in Georgia was because they are used
by Democrats in elections.
“Give me a fair white vote and I
can beat the Hump McWhorter gang
out of their boots,” he said.
He touched on Georgia affairs again
when he said that “the Central of
Georgia Railroad was honestly capi
talized at $7,000,000: was watered by
Pat Calhoun and his gang to $16,000.-
000, and by Pierpont Morgan and Au
gust Belmont to $50,000,000.” Mr. Wat
son closed with an eloquent perora
tion, asking votes now and influence in
building up the new' party of Jeffer
sonian Demoeaoy in 1908.
In an interview with a Savannah
News representative, he stated that
ho supposed that this "Jeffersonian"
movement would more probably be
along parallel lines than under one
banner with himself, Hcaret and Bry
an as standard bearers. He stated
that his campaign was not one to get
votes, but to educate for 1908. He
does not expect to carry any states or
electoral votes.

CALLS A WITNESS.

had been knocked senseless and that
bis wife was hurt.
The witness said he had closed all
the back doors. Mrs. MeCue, he said,
was n her room when he first heard
the screaming.
The witness was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by Capt. Woods for
common wealth. He would not ad
mit having made any statement con
trary to lis evidence to-day. He de
nied having said that he heard Mrs.
McOue say, "oh, Sam, don’t kill me;
I am going to die anyhow.” He de
nied having told Willie MeCue the day
after the tragedy that he was afraid to
tell what he knew, or that he heard a
slap first and then heard Mrs. MeCue
say, “Sam, you ought not to treat me
j| ke tbi.” He said he did not see Wil
lie MeCue write down anything he had
said. He denied telling W. G. Bald
win, a detective, that he heard two
licks struck and heard Mrs. MeCue
say: “Sam, why do you treat me so?”
Had Made Different .Statements.
The calling of John Perry to the
stand by the Jury came as an elev
enth hour climax. It furnished a sur
prise to both (he commonwealth and
defense, as he had been summoned
and not called to the stand by either
side, although he was in the house at
the time of the tragedy. A crowded
court room heard the testimony.
W. G. Baldwin, a detective, followed
Perry and testified that Perry had
stated to him, among other things,
that he heard a voice saying, "Sam,
why are you treating me so?” that he
(Perry) heard a noise like choking,
then a shot and that Mr. MeCue then
came to his door.
Albert Baldwin testified to the same
effect.
Susan Austin and Carrie E. Perry,
negro women, said Perry told them he
heard a scream and then, the cry, “Oh
Sam, you are killing me.”
The court admitted all testimony as
to alleged statements by Perry for the
purpose of discrediting him, and not
as evidence against the accused. The
statement which Willie MeCue said he
had written and which made Perry
say what Perry denied in his testi
mony, was received and admitted.
James Lewis, who was dulled as a
court witness at the instance of the
jury, said he was in the rear of a
residence near the MeCue home on the
night of the tragedy. He heard a shot,
but from where he was it sounded, he
said, like it Wtis far away.
Both sides announced with the clos
ing of the morning session that their
evidence was all in, except one wit
ness for the defense, who had not ar
rived, and whose testimony is to be
taken later. Instructions will be
agreed upon later to-day and argu
ments will begin in the morning.
Will Be Many Speeches,
A short session of court wag held
this afternoon to hear the testimony
of W. 8. Deckert of Harrisonburg. He
testified that he had heard Mr. Burke,
a previous witness in the case, say that
he had heard Ernest Crawford, a
brother of Mrs. MeCue, speak of what
a fine man Mr. MeCue was, and that
he and Mr. Burke and Mr. Crawford
had had a conversation in tthich Mr.
Crawford had said he did not in his
talks with Mr. Burke refer to the do
mestic relations of the accused.
It was decided by the defense not
to place the accused on the Htand.
The time to which the arguments
will be limited has not been fixed.
All three of the attorneys for the
(commonwtelalth are expected to ad
dress the Jury, but Just how many of
the defendant's lawyers will talk Is
not stated to-night. It is conceded
that at least two days will be taken
up in argument.
A large number of women occupied
scats in the gallery to-day. Relatives
of the accused occupied seats within
the bar and near him to-day, as they
have throughout the trial.
Instruction* for the Jury.
After a conference between counsel
for both sides. Judge Morris being pres
ent, the court late to-night granted
the instructions offered by the counsel,
which will be read to the Jury to-mor
row. The more important are:
That all statements which they may
believe from the evidence were made
by William MeCue, the son, and John
Perry not in the presence of the ac
cused. can only be considered by the
Jury for purposes of discrediting and
not as evidence against the accused.
That the failure of the defendant to
testify creates no presumption against
h'm, and his failure to testify is not a
circumstance to be considered by the
Juty.
That the failure of evidence to dis
close anv other criminal agent than
the accused is not a circumstance
which may be considered In determin
ing whether or not he was guilty of
the crime charged, nor is he called
upon to vindicate his own innocence by 1
naming the guilty parties.
This disposition of the instructions
to-night will permit of argument be
ginning early to-morrow.

were base and slanderous. He said:
“Theodore Roosevelt will go into the
presidency again on the Fourth of
March, as he entered upon his present
term, without an obligation of any
kind or a promise of any sort to any
man or any corporation for services
rendered or money contributed to this
campaign. No such pledges and no
such promises could bind him, and no
such promises and no such pledges
have ever been made by Mr. Cortel
you. No cleaner man exists and no
more straightforward campaign has
ever been carried on in tills country
than that carried on under the leader
ship of Mr. Cortelyou.”

GOVERNOR THE GUEST 7 AT
WAYCROSS FAIR OPENING.
Waycross, Ga., Nov. I.—The opening
day of the South Georgia Fair was
noticeable for the entire lack of the
confusion which is usually incident to
the first days of all fairs. When the
gates were thrown open to the public
at 9 o’clock this morning every exhibit
was in place and the several amuse
ment attractions were ready for the
ruch which came later in the day. The
attendance has been larger than at
any previous fair here on the first
day.
Gov. Terrell arrived here from Sa
vannah at noon, and went to the home
of Hon. John W. Bennett for luncheon.
At 2 o’clock the Governor was met at
the Phoenix Hotel by a committee
composed of officers and directors of
the Waycross Fair Association, the
Mayor and alderrr.en of the city of
Waycross and members of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Carriages were at
hand, and the entire party were driven
to the fair grounds. The Governor
made a short address in the grand
stand, and later was escorted through
the building and over the midway. He
will return to Atlanta to-night.
There were no races at the fair to
day, but they will start to-morrow
afternoon. The purses offered for
races amount to $1,200, and about
forty horses have been entered. The
fair olfleiuls expect a large crowd from
the neighboring towns, but Thursday
and Friday will probably be the best
days.
Back to New York.
Another ovation was given the can
didate when he concluded his speech.
It continued several minutes, in fact,
until Judge Parker left the meeting
to take a special trolley car to Jersey
City, where he also made a speech be
fore returning to New York to-night.
The demonstration outside the arm
ory as the party was escorted to the
special car was even greater than
that which greeted bis entrance to the
armory. It is estimated by Demo
cratic leaders that fully as many per
sons were unable to get into Essex
Troop Armory as the full number in
the audience.
