Atlanta, Ga.
In response to the call issued by R.
F. Shedden nearly one hundred auto
mobile owners of Atlanta have agreed
tc place their machines at his disposal
Thursday afternoon, when the orphans
of this city will be given an outing,
the like of which they probably never
experienced before.
Mr* fihedden’a plan to take the
orphans for an auto ride has'succeeded
wonderfully well and has met with the
favor of practically every automobile
owner In the city. Atlanta’s number
of orphans Is unusually large and It Is
exfiected that at lenst one. hundred
machines will be needed. For this rea
son Mr. Shedden urges that those who
have not already promised to send their
machines will be on hand anyhow
case of an emergency.
The cars will leave Trinity church,
In Whitehall street, at 2: SO o’clock
Thursday afternoon, and the-children
will be carried for a long ride out
Peachtree road and other places of In
tervst. On their Return to the city Ujey
will be taken to Ponce DeLeon, where
they will be admitted to the amuse
ments free of charge, returning to the
city on the street cars .late In the aft
ernoon.
Comptroller General William A:
Wright has his first arbitrations of
1907 on hand—the* street railway and
lighting systems of Columbus, Macon,
Savannafi and Augusta.
new policy has been adopted by.
the comptroller for arbitrations this
year. Instead of naming different rail,
road cotnmlBMloneni for the state. Com
missioner O. B. Stevens will serve In
that capacity on all the arbitration
boards.
Commissioner Stevens will dq, his
first service for the state in connec
tion with the street railway arbitra
tions. Attorney vVilllam S. Osborn, of
Savannun, wnu represents the Savan
nah, Columbus and Macon companies,
was’at the capltot Wednesday and no-
titled the comptroller that tne assess-
tnents could not be accepteu without
arbitration.
The returns and arbitrations In each
case were as follows: Columbus Rail
way Company, returned at 1243,933 and
assessed at <659,umi; Macon Railway
ana lAght Company, returned at 9539,-
619 and assessed ut 9884,uuu; tiuvun-
nali Kiectric Company, returned at 91,-
17O.O0U, and assessed at 92,120,000; Au
gusta Railway and Electric Company,
returned at 999/,189, and assessed at
91,472,000.
Within thjrty days the corporations
Interested must name their men for
the arbitration. If these two cannot
agree the governor will name the third
tuan. In ihat event Governor Smith
will have tne appointing power, as he
will have assumed the reins of ofllce.
Inasmuch as the comptroller has In
dicated his purpose to Increase heavily
the returns of the railroads, it is ex
pected there will be many arbitrations
this year. The comptroller hud hoped
to get the returns up to something like
Just figures this year, In which event
such figures would probably have stood
for a long while.
The comptroller Is waiting to hear

GETS A NEW SPRING SUIT
IN EXCHANGE LOR RAGS
200 DELEGATES
AT THE MEETING
An unknown burglar with a penchant
for style, but minus the necessary coin,
did a stunt Tuesday night that has
brought grief and Indignation to A.
Morrison, of 220 Form wait street,
well-known attache of the Ueck &
Gregg Hardware Company.
The burglnr got the style all right,
and as a result Mr. Aforrleon. Is the
loser of a handsome spring suit and
hat. The marauder was not totally In
considerate, however, as he changed
clothes In the Morrison home and left
Mr. Morrison an ofd dilapidated, fraz
zled, worn-out suit of winter plothes
of the vintage of *96. He also left Ills
old hat, which, with the discarded
clothes, looks as though It had ridden
the rods for many a mile.
The fact that the burglar possesses n
larger foot than Mr. Morrison alone
saved the latter's new spring shoes.
The burglar tried his best to squeeze
his feet Into the shoes, but without suc
cess. and he pitched these out Into the
yard, where they were found Wednes
day morning.*.
In addition to swapping clothes, the
Intruder put on another little act that
was equally as audacious. Strolling
Into the dining room, he discovered
luscious cantaloupe. With his mouth
watering for the delicious melon. Mr.
Burglar promptly . obtained a knife,
sliced It, and proceeded to enjoy him
self. He ate the whole of the melon
and then threw’ the rinds on the floor.
With this performance concluded, he
made his exit, a changed man—In per
sonal attire.
The burglars* occurred about *10
o'clock Tuesday night while Mr. Morri
son, ills family and several callers were
seated on the front porch laughing and
talking. The burglar entered the house
through a rear window, and coolly
changed clpthes In Mr. Morrison's bed
room, to the tune of merry peals of
laughter that came floating through the
house from the gay party on the porch.
The burglary was discovered when
the family entered the house to retire,
Mr. Morrison finding the strange hat
and old clothes lying on the floor of his
room. Bicycle Policeman John Peyton
made an Investigation, but failed to

One of the most dnrlng daylight rob
borles ever known In Atlanta was com
mlttert Tuesday afternoon In a Greek
store at 99 Peters street, when an un
known negro seised a small Greek boy,
dragged him to the rear of the atore,
fastened him In a closet, and then
robbed the cash register of n sack
money amounting to about $8.
The police are at work on the rase,
but so far have failed to find the rob
her.
The little boy, who wae alone In the
store at the time, was roughly handled.
Th« negro entered the store, on seeing
the boy was alone, and engaged him In
conversation, pretending he wanted to
make a purchase.
Suddenly he seised the boy, closed
his hands tightly about his throat, to
prevent an outcry, and dragged him
back to a closet. Throwing the boy
Into the smalt room, the negro locked
the door, and proceeded to rifle the
cash register, which he forced open.
The frightened scream* and cries for
help from the Imprisoned boy soon
brought assistance nnd he was released.
By this time, however, the robber had
made good his escape.
LOAN SHARKS HIT
BY PROPOSED LAW
Atlauis Would Fine All Who
Charge More Than 5 Per.
Cent a Mouth.
Representative J,. Pratt Adams,
Savannah, believes something should
done to curb the rapacity of the
loan.aback*,.and with thla Idea In view
he wilt Introduce a measure at the
coming session of the legislature.
Representative Adams' bill will make
a criminal offense- to charge more
than- 6 per cent per month on borrowed
money. It will be a general law, nnd
not applicable to Chatham county only.
He says his bill will be broad enough
to cover the various subterfuges re
sorted to by the loan sharks to legal
Iso their extortion.
It Is Representative Adams' opinion
that the business of robbing the poor
and unfortunate will continue so long
ns ths law visit* as the only punish
ment the forfeiture of the exorbitant
Interest. According to hts Idea a law
making It a criminal offense to charge
over 6 per cent per month would stop
the practice.

Nobles of Great Order to
Turn Out in Force Next
Saturday.
The most enjoyable event of the sea
son Is promised In the Shrine barbecue,
which will be held at the Cold Springs
'cue grounds, at East Point, on next
Saturday, from 12 until 8 o'clock.
Everything possible Is being done by
the different committees to make this
occasion one that will eclipse anything
of the kind that has aver before been
known In the history of the order, and
when It Is remembered that the Mystic
Shrlners never do anything by halves,
those who will have the privilege of at
tending this 'cue may well consider
themselves fortunate.
Besides a large quantity of barbecued
tomb and pig, the preparation of which
will be superintended at usual by the
expert In this line. Colonel Tom Ware,
there will be numerous appetising en
tree which will appeal to the most
fastidious appetites. The usual re
freshing xem-zem water and camel's
milk, peculiar to the Shrine feasts, wilt
be served In abundance. In facL noth
ing will be lacking that can add to the
comfort and pleasure of the crowd.
There will be dancing In the pavilion,
with music furnished by Wurm's or
chestra. ,
It Is especially stated In the Invita
tions that Shrlners are urged to bring
alt the lady friends they can persuade
to accompany them, but that no boys or
gentlemen not members of the order
will be admitted. For this reason nil
Shrlners are requested to bring 'tholr
white cards, rs the guards at the gates
will have positive Instructions to admit
no noble who falls to produce this card,
and If any of the members should not
be already supplied, they are requested
to apply to Noble George E. Argprd,
recorder, who will see that all auch ap
plications have prompt attention.
Extra cars for East Point to accom
modate the large crowd will be fur^
nlshed add will leave the city from *he
corner of Broad and Alabama streets at
close Intervals.
An enthusiastic meeting of the exed*
utlve committee of the Fulton County
Hoke Smith Club was held In the Pied
mont Tuesday afternoon. With favor
able weather conditions, one of the
greatest crowds ever seen In Atlanta
Is expected for the Inauguration.
It Is believed now that fully 166
Hoke Smith clubs will be In the lint
of parade. The low fare granted by
the railroads will Induce thousands to
come here.
Houston Harper, on behalf of the
hotel management, tendered the com
mittee a room on the second floor of
ths hotel for headquarters. No rent
will be charged, and tha offer was
gratefully received.. It will be very
convenient for out-of-town visitors.
There was considerable discussion
relative to the parade. Ideas differing
as to whether It should be wholly clvlo
or partly civic and partly military. Ths
matter was finally referred to the In
vitation committee, of which Major R.
J. Guinn la chairman.
William Dnvlg Harwell will be In
charge of headquartera In the Pied

pecting to come here are requested to
communicate with him. Out-of-town
clubs will bring their own banners and
bands If th-y desire.
Th4 parade will form In front of Gov.
