the Exposition—Tribute to Georgians.
Jamestown Exposition, June 10.—
Surrounded by Georgia soldiers and
many prominent Georgians' and offi
cials, President Theodore Roosevelt was
Introduced to the vast throng of peo-
ple gathered for the Georgia Day ex-
erclses by W. Norwood Mitchell, of
Atlanta, Gs., president of the James
town Exposition commission.
President Mitchell said:
"Virginians and Countrymen: Stand
ing here on the soil of the grand old
commonwealth, the cradle of American
civilisation and true patriotism: In the
midst of this great Southern Interna
tional exposition, on behslt of Georgia,
the brightest etar of the Southern con
stellation, I welcome you all on Geor
gia Day. Upon me has been conferred
the honor and pleasure of Introducing
to you the llluetrlous guest, who. In
fitting words, will herald to the world
the pride he feels In his Southern birth,
a birthright of which he well may be
proud, for In the history of this great
country over which he presides there
are no pages that glow brighter than
those that record the deeds of our be
loved South.
"From that day S00 years ago, when
the little ber.u of Anglo,Saxons steered
their shlpe to the spot on which we are
now standing, bearing at their mast
head not an electric light of our modern
ships, but the bright light of civiliza
tion to the new world, our South, In
every stirring event In our country's
history, has been chosen to shine forth
to an admiring World . In the glorious
acts and character of her people.
"it was a Southern man on Southern
soil Whose Durnlng words sowed the
seed of the American Revolution. Pat
rick Henry, while Jefferson voiced the
words of liberty that Washington made
good, when on Southern soli at York-
,town the banner of ■ St.; Qeorge was
furled: ,
"When the dark clouds of war over
cast our country and brother was ar
rayed against* brother, the opposing
armies were led by Southern Jnen, Lee
and Scott.
"And when In the course of the his
tory of our country. It became neces
sary for the preservation of our Insti
tutions In their Integrity, and for the'
preservation of this glorious republic
to free the slaves. It was a Southern
man who issued the emancipation proc
lamation, the gentle, kindly, lovable
Abraham Lincoln, for he was flesh of
our flesh and bone of our bone.
"Then when the arms were grounded,
the flags furled, the soil stained by the
blood of martyrs, our beloved South,
lying prostrate, crushed, It was one of
her own who with Ills noble heart
bleeding for his people lifted to us by
his teaching and example In honor and
principle the star of hope, our beloved
Leo. !
"Thank God, though, while commer
cialism In Its offensive sense has In a
measure crept Into our South, yet Blie
still clings to tho Ideal that has made
Inn- glorious in tin i n-t. Lifting above
the sordid dollar honor and principle,
regnrdlng Integrity In her men, purity
In her .women and homes above all,
making these the standards against
mere wealth, regardless of how that
wealth may havo been attained.
"It Is from these that comes the Illus
trious guest of today. Held In esteem,
honor and affection by the South, re
gardless of political affiliation, not be
cause of his exalted position, but for
his honesty, because when he sees Ills
duty, like the immortal Lee. he swerves
not from it, holding that duty right and
justice above gain, applauding and ad
miring wealth, whether corporate or
Individual, no matter how great, when
honestly gotten, condemning and de
spising when gained at the expense of a
betrayed trust. From his beloved
Southern mother he Imbibes largely the
Ideals that has placed him before an
admiring country as one who means to
do his dutv bv all.
‘Knowing no North, no South, ■■
East, no West, giving a square deal to
the poor as well as the rich, seeking the
punishment of Ill-gotten wealth as he
would the pauper. In national environ
ment our distinguished guest Is known
over the entire world, known and ad
mired, but today I Introduce him to you
as the most distinguished of Georgia's
distinguished grandsons, the president
of the United States.”
Amid the thunderous cheering of the
thousands of people, President Roose
velt advanced to the front of the re
viewing stand.

Some startling statements are made
In the history of railroad traffic In
Georgia, both freight and passenger,
embraced In the motion of Commission,
er Joseph M. Brown for the “zone” sys
tem In the passenger reduction case.
Commissioner ,Brown shows that It
was mainly through the efforts of the

rates from the Fast and West to all
points In Georgia, except coast towns,
were secured In 1905. -

Street railway and lighting compa
nies In Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Co
lumbus and Athens were assessed by
Comptroller General Wright Monday,
the aggregate increases over returns
made amounting to $2,690,299.
Following the heavy increase secured
from the Georgia Railway and Electric
Company, the comptroller at once took
up the returns of the other corporations
engaged in similar lines, making the
Atlanta concern the basis for his as
sessments.
It, la understood that the outside con
cerns had awaited the final outcome In
the case of the Atlanta company, and
expected that their own returns would
be Increased proportionately. . After go
ing carefully over all the figures In the
returns, # the comptroller made the as
sessments as follows:
Savannah's Increase.
The Savannah Electric Company re
turned Its property at $1,170,060 and the
comptroller assessed It at $2,120,000.. an
Increase of $949,940. The francnl:
was returned at $496,409, nnd the In
crease on this Is proportionate to the
physical values, as is the case In all of
the assessments.
The Macon Railway and Light Com
pany returned its property at $533,619,
and It was assessed af $984,000, an In
crease of $450,381. The franchise was
returned at $248,928.
The Augusta Railway and Electric
Company was returned at $697,181, and
It was assessed at $1,472,000, an In
crease of $774,811, or more than double.
The franchise was returned at $208,286.
The Columbus Railroad Company,
which Is really two corporations re
turned in one, made returns of $243,-
633, and was assessed at $656,000, an
Increase of $412,367, or more than dou
ble. The franchise was returned at
$60,000.
The Athens Electric Hallway Com
pany came nearer making a proper re
turn than any of this class. It was re
turned at $216 400 and was assessed‘at
$319,200. an Increase of $102,800. Its
franchise was returned at $57,600.
Comptroller Wright will now begin
work on the railroad returns, nnd will
devote his attention to the big trunk
lines first. That there will be some
Too much limelight caused a number
of Baptist ministers Monday piornlng
to urge that In thb future all newspa
per* reporters "be* excluded • froth the
weekly sessions of the Atlanta Baptist
Ministers' Conference.
Each minister In turn delivered his
opinion of reporters, headline writers,
city editors and the newspaper frater
nity In general, some praising. Home
condemning, until Anally the motion to
exclude the reporters was side-trucked
and a substitute providing for a com
mittee to Investigate the matter was
adopted.
"Let the cdnunlttee report to the con
ference in executive session,” said Dr.
W. W. Landrum, "for the fatal error
thus far has been In discussing this
before tho reporters."
Dr. J. \V. Millard, pastor of the Ponce
DeLeon Baptist church, introduced the
resolution. The motion was to exclude
all reporters, but in the discussion only
The Journal's reports were mentioned.
Following ore the opinions of some of
the ministers as expressed on Monday
morning:
“Just Want Sensation."
Dr. Millard—"All the newspapers
want Is sensations. The regular bust
ness and purposes of the conference are
not hundied, but let 'something out of
the ordinary happen ojrfet some minis
ter make un unusua\ or heated state
meat nnjl the newspapers grab at It and
make asses of us. The reporters an
good fellows, but they don’t .under
stand."
Dr. J. L. D. Hlllycr—"After the rldlc
ulous, false position I was placed In by
The Journal report of my discussion of
total depravity, I am in favor of any
thing that will keep such stuff out* of
the papers. In that report I was mis
represented and lied about."
Rev. John D. Jordan—“The treatment
of I)r. Hillyer was Just an Illustration
•of total depravity. I am In favor of
letting the reporters stay ,ln."
Dr. R. L. Motley—"My complaint Is
with the headline writers chiefly. When
Brother ' Parrish-spoke of his change
from a Methodist to a Baptist minister,
The Journal headlines were mislead
ing. It was'a positive Imposition. The
Journal account of the trouble between
Barnwell and London In Kdgewood, I
am Informed, was nothing but a bundle
of falsehoods."
"Find Out Anyway."
Rev. A. C. Ward—“We tried to do
this before and the reporters found out
everything we did anyway. It Is itn
possible to keep anything from the
newspapers. Better lot tho reporters in
or tho newspaper accounts will be ten
times as wild.”

Norfolk. Va„ June 10.—The Princess
Anne Hotel, at Virginia Beach, famous
as u summer resort hostelry, first built
In the early eighties and frequently
remodeled and added to until It had
been made one of the handsomest ho
tels along the Atlantic coast, .was de
stroyed by Are which originated I
the kitchen at 4 o'clock this morning.
In two hours the building, with con
siderable adjacent property, had been
wiped out. There was no Are depart
ments and the only way that other
nearby property was saved was through
the efforts of bucket brigades, one of
which was formed by women win
worked like Trojans.
Two persons were burned alive Em
ma Clark, a negro chambermaid, and
John Eaton, a white steward.
There was such great excitement that
It was believed some of the guests had
also been burned, but all escaped, many
barely huvlng tlmo to get out. clad only
In their night clothes. The majority of
the guests lost practically all their ef
fects.
That many lives were not lost Is at
tributed directly to tho heroism of Carl
Boeschcn. of Richmond, Va., a young
sergeant In the Richmond light artil
lery of Blues, He was stopping In tile
Fltsgerakl collage and discovered the
lire In the hotel kitchen. Rushing In,
he found the night bell boy asleep.
After some trouble the boy was
awakened und Sergeant Boeschen with
this boy and another ran through the
building from floor to floor awakening
guests and warning them of the Im
pending danger.
Men and women rushed from the'
httlldlng like mad men. One woman,
with an III child, enme out In her night
dress with her child In one hand nnd a
hair brush In the other.
Boise, Idaho, June 10.—Steve Adams
arrived today. He la emphatic In his
declarations that Harry Orchard Is a.
“monumental liar.”
"Steve” Adams, who was Impli
cated by Orchard In most of the al
leged crimes, denounces Orchard.
Adams declares that every statement
so far made by Orchard implicating
him Is false. John Wourns, Adams'
attorney, declares that Adams' testi
mony will hurt the state's side more
than it will help.
Orchard resumed tho tale of his crim
inal career today at the opening of the
Uayvacd. trial.
Two years of Orchard’s life Interven
ing between the cloalng of hla story
Saturday morning where he will tell of
entering the penitentiary remain to
be' reviewed.
Harry Orchard, with his stick nnd
well dressed, was brought In by his
coterie of gunmen and the trial was
resumed.
"Bring In thie witness,” Judge Wood
commam'rd, and Orchard was brought
In.
"Were you aver In Tuscarorn, Ne
vada?” asked Richardson.
"Excuse me, Mr. Richardson. I want
to correct my statements of the other
day—"
“Answerjny question first.”
"Not that I remember.”
Orchard Makes Corrections,
Ot chard then said he wanted to cor
rect some of hla answers, saying he
had confused Easterly with Alkman on
one occasion, and that tha holsters In
which he nnd Adams carried their
sawed-off shotguns were obtained after
they had got the guns.
Richardson spent some time probing
with Orchard Into tha conferences he
holds with McPartland each recaas. Or.
chard denied knowing "Kid Watera,”
James Warford. Harry Dighton, Jack
Bowmnn and Tom Brown, mine own
ers, and "gunmen nt Cripple Creek."
He did know Nelson Franklin and
asked him to cash a check once. He
knew A. R. Carleton, and he had talked
with both of them about a certificate
of deposit for 136 on a Victor bank that
failed.
Richardson named many other
Cripple Creek men and asked Orchard ,
If he knew them, and If he directly or J
Indirectly Informed any one that some- i
thing was to be pulled off on the night
of June 8, when the Independence depot .
was blown up.

Growth and Progress of the New South
Tbs Georgian records here each tlsj sons
BY
J08EPH B. LIVELY.
Indicative of the steady advance In Southern coal mining, says The
Manufacturers’ Record. Is the fact that last year West Virginia supplanted
Illinois as the second coal-producing state In this country'. Its output
having been 43,276,433 short tons, us against 41.497,435 tons In Illinois.
To be sure, suspension of mining In Illinois In the early spring of 1906
contributed to tills reversal of rank, although In 1905 Illinois was less
than 1,000,004 tons ahead of West Virginia In production. More significant
of prevailing tendencies Is the advance made by the South In the past
five years In comparison with that In the rest of the country shown In the
