NEWS OF A DAY IN
GEORGIA’S CAPITAL
LOWRY FOR THE CABINET.
ATLANTA BANKER INDORSED Dl
THE CLEARING HOUSE.
Col. Robert J. Lowry In a Repnbll
ran and a Friend ol Rooitevelt.
Bankers ol Atlanta Want Hint
Made Secretary ol the Treasury.
Reported That He Has Been Sum
moned for a Conference With the
President.
Atlanta, Dec. 13.—The Atlanta
Clearing House Association this after
noon unanimously adopted resolutions
indorsing Col. Robert J. Lowry, pres
ident of the Lowry National Bank,
for appointment by President Roose
velt in his cabinet, “Should he desire
such appointment.”
It is thought there is no possible
doubt about Col. Lowry's accepting in
case he should be tendered the posi
tion of Secretary of the Treasury, as
has been suggested. Col. Lowry is now
in the East, having left Atlanta yes
terday. Rumor has it that he will go
to Washington for a conference with
President Roosevelt, having been sum
moned there by the President himself.
What the significance of this confer
ence is, is not definitely known, but
Col. Lowry's name has been promi
nently talked of in this connection for
some time.
Col. Lowry is an earnest Republican
and is a personal friend of the Presi
dent.

The Railroad Commission Nvill hold
its December meeting Thursday, Dec.
15, and at that time will resume hear
ing of the petition of J. S. Cowart of
Arlington, who asks an order compell
ing the railroads to carry what are
known as "Munger bales," to Savan
nah and Brunswick at the same rate
as is charged for regularly compress
ed bales of cotton. Considerable evi
dence was taken at the former hearing
and a postponement was had at the
request of the railroad representa
tives.
There is In this litigation, if it may
be so called, a menace to the big
Vompresses throughout the South.
These Munger presses are cheap, com
pared with the gigantic steel com
presses and if the Munger bale is giv
en the same rate as the regularly
compressed bale It would seem that
the big compresses would have to go
out of business.
