GENERAL TAX BILL
STILL DISCUSSED
Alexander, of DeKalb, In
troduces Amendment
to Tax Railroads.
By a vote of 98 to 68 the house of
representatives Friday morning adopt'
ed the amendment to the general tax
act, introduced by Mr. Alexander, of
DeKalb, placing an occupation tax
of 1 per cent on all railroads and elec
trie railway companies doing business
In this state.
The amendment of Mr. Alexander
differed from that of Mr. Candler, of
DeKalb* which was defeated Thurs
day afternoon. In that It applies the
occupation tax to railway companies
only Instead of all public corporations/
Since the gross receipts of the rail
way companies In Georgia last year
amounted approximately to $37,000,000,
the levying of the occupation tax means
the addition of about $370,000 to the
treasury of the state. According to
the terms of the amendment the tax
Is to be paid monthly before the 10th
of each month.
By unanimous consent the house
sgreed that the business of Saturday
should be the same as any other legls,
latlve day, In order that the fertiliser
blir, the general appropriation act and
other Important measures may be tok
en up for consideration.
The general tax act will probably bo
completed Friday afternoon and It will
be followed by the bill of Mr. Mar
tin, of Elbert, raising the fee of fer
tiliser Inspection from 10 cents to 35
cents per ton, the money to be ap
plied to the agricultural schools of the
various congressional districts.
Without a dissenting voice the house
adopted an amendment to the general
tax act, Introduced by Mr. Wright, of
Floyd, Friday morning, placing a tax
of $300 upon all clubs keeping Intoxi
cants In lockers or upon their premises
for the use of members.
In explanation, Mr. Wright stated
that It was the ususl tax placed on
■uch organisations and had been left
out of the tax act under the Impres
sion that the prohibition bill recently
passed prevented them from keeping
whisky upon their premises.
When the house was called to order
by Speaker Slaton at 9 o’clock Friday
morning there were a number of va
cant seats, and when a request was
made to suspend with the reading of
the journal there was objection In
order to allow more time for the mem
bers to assemble.
At 0:30 o’clock the consideration of
the general tax act was resumed, and
section 10, Involving an occupation tax
on public corporations, was again tak
en up.
The first question was upon the
amendment offered by Mr. Perry, of
Hall, which placed an occupation tax
of 2 per cent upon all public corpora
tions. It was unanimously defeated.
It bslng the Intention of those who fa
vored an ‘occupation tax to move a
reconsideration of the action of the
house In voting down the amendment
to nx the tax at 1 per cent on the gross
receipts.
The committee amendment striking
out the 2 1-2 per cent occupation tax.
out the 2 1-2 per cent occupation tax.
In the original bill, was adopted, and
section 10 was adopted aa follows:
Section 10. Be It further enacted
by the authority aforesaid, that all
railroad companies, street and subur
ban railroads, or sleeping car com
panies, companies or persons, or com
panies operating railroads or street
railroads or suburban railroads, or

D. W. Kennedy, Own
er of Isle of Cham
pagne,Tries Suicide.
D. W. Kennedy, proprietor of the
Isle of Champagne saloon, attempted
suicide Friday morning at 11:30
o'clock at the Aragon hotel, where he
had spent the night. He Is not ex
pected to .recover from a knife wound
In his body close to the heart, and
deep cut In the throat.
Kennedy Is married and his wife
said to be In Macon. He had been on
a spree. It Is reported, and Dr. Monroe
Smith was attending him. Friday morn
Ing the physician went to Kennedy's
room and Kennody refused to admit him
The physician went down stairs and
returned with Manager J. Lee Barnes.
When they entered the room, Kennedy
had''locked himself In the bath room,
As Manager Barnes looked over the
transom, Kennedy plunged a pen knife
Into body, ever the heart, and then
slashed at his throat.
Officers were called and the door was
broken down. As the officers entered,
Kennedy sprang to his feet and at
tacked them, chasing them down the
hall. In the mlx-up. House Officer Os
born and W. H. Pitman, house carpen
ter, were cut slightly. Kennedy was
chased Into a room, where he was over
come, , having been weakened by loss
of blood. It Is not believed he will
recover.
Kennedy's saloon, the Isle of Cham
pagne, Is In the Orand theater build
ing, and Kennedy Is well-known. No
cause other than excessive drinking Is
assigned for his action*.
Early this week, however, friends
persuaded him to brace up, and he
did so. Dr. Smith saw him Thursday
night, and Kennedy, apparently cheer
ful, told him he Intended to spend the
night at'“the Aragon, and asked him
to call on him there Friday morning.
Kennedy was In ito financial trouble,
his friends say. He was worried over
what he was to do alter the first of
the year. He had discussed going to
Colorado, where he owns considerable
property, with J. Reginald MacEach
ron, but he said he hated to leave his
native state.
Dr. W. C. Kennedy, of Belmont. Ga.
as notified of his brother’s condition
Immediately after Dr. Smith examined
Kennedy.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Kennedy was
removed to a private sanitarium.
His condition at that time was ex
treniely critical, but the physicians
said there would be a better chance to
save his life there.
At 2:30 o’clock Friday afternoon the
operation to stop internal bleeding ot
E. W. Kennedy was completed, and
the physicians at the Elklns-Goldsmltli
sanitarium stated that It was success
ful.
Kennedy's condition Is still very crit
ical, as he lost a great deal of blood. It
a question whether or not he will re
cover.

1510 Western Union
OperatorsWalk Out
on Strike.
Chicago, Aug. 9.—Fifteen hundred
and ten Western Union Telegraph
operators walked out In this city this
morning, practically tying up the serv.
Ice of that company. Into and out of
this city, as the company has but few
men remaining at work.
At 3 o’clock this afternoon the Postal
Telegraph Company operators will be
called out If the demands of the teleg
raphers to be frq-med and presented to
the company are not met. The execu
tive committee of the local union meets
at 1 p. m. to draw up these demands.
The strike Is no longer a matter of
mere sympathy with the strikers at
Los Angeles. A big mass meeting of
the Chicago employees was held at f
o'clock this morning at which resolu
tions were adopted widening the scope
of the strike.
Here are some additional grievances
which will be presented to the com
pany:
- ”Wo work more than eight hours
day; the company does not fairly
recognize our union; we did not get
a square deal In the last settlement;
we want more wages—at least 15 per
cent Increase.”
The strike already is causing great
annoyance to all commercial houses,
excepting those firms which have
special leased wires—these being 'ex
empted because all their employees are
members of the union.
There Is something more than
probability that the Postal operators
may strike soon, as threats Jiave been
made by-men that they will not handle
non-union messages and they fear that
much of the Western Union's business
may be turned over to their company
for transmission.
Fifty policemen from the central sta
tion were detailed about the Western
Union building and the board of trade
early to provent clashes between the
pickets and such operators as might
endeavor to -go to work for the com
pany.
The board of trade opened today for
the first time In Its history under the
protection of tho police. The effect ot
the strike on the country is being
plainly shown today. The Western
live stbek markets for years have done
little business each day until they re
ceived quotations from Chicago. To
day no quotations were sent out of
Chicago over the Western Union lines,
this company having controlled tbs
quotation service for years.
In the board of trade, to long as the
Postal service Is maintained unham
pered, the brokers can get along with
a certain amount of delay, but should
th'oso men stop work the service would
be cut down strictly to those large
houses which maintain teased wires—
these being kept In service by the few
chiefs remaining at work.
Three o’clock is the hour for the Pos.
tal telegraphers to walk out If thslr
demands drawn up. are not granted.
The executive committee of the union
met 'at 1 o'clock and framed the de
mands.

PRESIDENT CLOWRY
HAS ISSUED STATEMENT
New York. Aug. 9.—The following
statement has been lesued by President
dowry..of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, In regard to the strike
of telegraphers:
"On July 23 an operator at Los An
geles was charged with maliciously de-
aylng traffic. As a careful Inveetl-
g tlon showed that he was guilty of
deliberately obstructing traffic on Im
portant circuits, he was discharged.
Last night the operators In the Chicago
office, employed on the Weatern Union
circuits, refused to work with the non
union men at Los Angeles and when
this was Insisted upon they quit work
In a body."
General Superintendent Brooks Is In
clined to think that a general strike Is
trending.
The Operators’ Side.
Local members of the Commercial
Telegraphers Union today declared that
President Clowry, of the Western
Union, had not kept his agreement
with the operators and that the dis
charge of telegraphers tn Los Angeles
for refusing to handle "unfair" mes
sages was unjust.

' Senator Felder arose In the senate
Friday to a point of personal privilege
relative to an editorial appearing In an
afternoon paper relative to the senate
action In amending tho Wright nntl-
lobbylng bill. He'said:
"I want to say I am In thorough
sympathy with the administration and
the demands of the platform. While I
expect to support the so-called admin
istration measures, I also expect to
qasert my own Intelligence and follow
my own views and Interpretations of
measures.
“I do not know that the governor ever
saw this antl-lobbylng bill. It has come
to be a habit here for some people ts
Introduce bills and label them admin
istration bills.
‘I assert that we have passed here
the bill demanded by the people. No
newspaper or Individual has the right
to assert that this senate has passed a
bill Inimical to the administration.
"I make this statement In order to
show that -I am In sympathy with the
administration In all measures demand
ed by the people." .
Senator Camp said he was one of. the
twenty-eight referred to In tho editorial
who voted to amend tho measure.
"I would do nothing to detract from
or deter the administration In any of
Its reforms, and I am In sympathy with
all that Is advocated. But I clfilm the
right to do my own thinking and to
put my own interpretation on reform
measures.
“I have been a friend of the gov
ernor for many years. I believe him
to be a good and a strong man. I voted
for the amendments to the antl-lob-
bying bill because it met. every demand
of the Macon platform."
"I want to know If the senator from
the Thirty-first arose to a point of per
sonal privilege because his Aame was
or was not mentioned In the paper?"
asked Senator Wilkes.
"I am one of the twenty-eight,"
shouted Senator Camp. "I do nqt seek
that form of advertising If the senator
from the Seventh does."
This ended the discussion.
