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. On Rales on Cotton Bnlen. 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. Car Inspector Hied of Injuries. Thomas J. Parr, a c*ar Inspector for the Central of Georgia Railway Com pany. had both legs crushed in an ac cident at Knott's crossing this morn ing and died soon afterward at the Grady Hospital.
