Atlanta Man Backs His Boat Against That of Mil lionaire Miller. New York, Sept. 13.—Even the driv ing of a tandem zebra team down Broadway has now been eclipsed by Russel Hopkins, young Atlanta mil' llonalre, who has an estate at Irving' ton-on-the-Hudson. The latest thing which brings the young Southerner In the limelight la a friendly wager he has Just mado with Major J. S. C. Mil ler, another millionaire who does things other millionaires do not do. In order to see who pays for a little dinner at the St. Regis, the Atlanta man and Major Miller will spend a mere trifle of something like 140,000 or 350,- 000 In a yacht race to Panama and back. Each owns a fast, sea-going yacht, but It necessary, each will buy a new vessel, and-that brings on more talk and the blowing In of another fortune. Panama was decided upon as tho end of the Journey because Mr. Hopkins Is consul fo rthe republic of Panama In his home city of Atlanta. He knows President Aamdor -well and when he gets there he will be President Ama dor’s guest. Major Miller owns the fast yacht Ethelsa. Mr. Hopkins owns another, the Atlanta. The Atlanta can turn off the knots at the rate of 28 per hour and then some. Major Miller saya the Ethelsa Is Just as fast. The two are friends and there has been no little rivalry between them In auto racing and In trials of speed on the waters of the Hudson. But there has never been a real test. "The Atlanta can make tho Ethelsa look like a canal boat," laughingly re marked Mr. Hopkins to Major Miller. "Not In a thousand years,” replied Major Miller. "The Ethelsa can run rings around that ro wboat of your, and then some.” “Not for a dinner at tho St Regis,' came back the Atlanta man, "and you're on for a race that wll bo a race.” Then he made his proposition to race to Panama and back and Major Miller was game. "It's done," he said, and November 1 was agreed upon a, the date of start ing. Since coming to New York Mr. Hop- kins has been almost constantly In the limelight. He owns a magnificent es tate on the Hudson and one of his fads there >is a menagerie of wild animals. SAYS GAS COMPANY REFUSED SERVICE Because a man, meeting adversity, was forced Into bankruptcy, owing the Atlanta Gas Light Company a bill, the company ab solutely declines to furnish him with gns, even through a slot meter, which demands cash in advance for all service glveu, ac cording to this man’s complaint. A few days ago this roan came to tho of fice of the railroad* commission and told his story. His frankness and his evident earn estness made an Impression on Chairman McLendon. The gentleman stated that he was forced to go Into bankruptcy recently through adversities that had overtaken him. One of bis creditors was tho Atlanta Gas Light Company. Though all debts listed by him In the bankruptcy court ore barred bv law, be Is nevertheless paying them as fast ns possible. He asked the gas company to put a slot meter In his house, hut he anvs the company refused on tho ground that ho owed it h debt. He asked the commission to Investigate such discrimination, and It will be tnkeu up at the next formal meeting of tho body. Body of Man Believed To Be Sam White Is Found Near City: Mystery shrouds the cause of the death of a man whose name is supposed to be Bam White, and whose body was found early Friday morning lying beneath an oak tree near the River car line, with a half- empty whisky bottle close by. The coroner's Jnry. after an Inquest at Barclay & Brandon's undertaking establish ment at noon, brought In a verdict of death from au unknown cause. There were no marka of violence, no evldenco of anything like poison, no symptoms of heart disease, and County rhylslclan Hurt stated that the amount of whisky he believed the dead man drank was not sufficient to cause death. ‘ That it was not murder for robbery was evidenced by $11.45 found In the man’s pockets. Charles Prance and L. J. Cash, who reside tn Bellewood avenue, testified that they talked with tbs man at 12 o'clock Thursday and that he was, then a stranger to them. They gathered from his conversa tion that he was a carpenter moving to Atlanta from somewhere near Marietta. He said bis name was Sam White and that his family would come to Atlanta later on. When County Officers Pope and Whitfield arrived oti tho scene Friday morning nt 6 o’clock the body lay beneath the tree In a natural position, as though be were sleep ing. Tbs dead man was about 45 years old and wore a brown felt hat, a bluo shirt, s pair dark striped trousers and no coat. There were no papers or other means of Identlflcstlon on hta person. The first two fingers of bis right hsnd bad apparently been Injured. Bo far no relatives have been found. The body will be held for several days. TO PROVIDE RELIEF Says Louisville and Nash ville Has Declared Embargo. ATLANTA COLLEGE OF PBARM4CY Up tn date. We teach men to be flrst-rlass pharmacists and tlrst-class chemists also. We have a greater demand for our graduates than we can supply. The Pure Food and Drugs act is making the demand greater than ever. Addreas / GEORGE F. PAYNE, Ph 8. Dean, 501-2 Armstrong St, Atlanta, 6a. Declaring that the Louisville and Nashville railroad has placed an em bargo against It on cars, the Georgia Manufacturing and Public Service Com. pany brings complaint to the railroad commission and asks for relief. Unless It Is given, the company declares that It faces bankruptcy. Last December the Public Service Company, of Marietta, which furnlshee the city with Ilghte, power and water. Buffered heavily by fire. Preparations were made at once for rebuilding, and this work waa progressing most satis factorily when the alleged embargo was placed on It. Owing to the peculiar situation ex isting In the work of rebuilding, the public service company had to take cars of material delivered to their tracks not In the order of receipt, .but as certain material was needed. That car might arrive a day or so after another already on the tracks. This often held cars much longer than the free time of 48 hours. The company, however, did not decline pay ment of demurrage chargee for over time. However, the Louisville and Nash ville complained that this system of unloading seriously obstructed busi ness, and Anally declined t’o deliver any r.mro cars until all on the tracks wore unloaded. The public service com pany etates that this practically means bankruptcy to It, unless cars with nec essary material are delivered prompt ly. Rellof through the commission Is sought. The case Is set for a hearing by the commission on next Wednesday, and will be taken up then, unless litiga tion, beginning In courta Monday, pre vents.
