The North Georgia Electric Company was represented In all of these suits and In all of the hearings by Attorney H. H.

It Is the purpose of the manage ment of the. association to make the horse show a .very democratic affair, and to eliminate any feature that •macks of the exclusiveness of “high society.” Those Interested in the show have been of one mind, and that was to make the show a horse show and not a clothes show. > "The men who are behind the show are Interested In horses, not clothes. Just at this time,” said a prominent director of ' the association Tuesday, 'and although a man may wear a dress suit—it Jio has one—he may feel at liberty to go. without one If be so deelras.” The ring In which the riding will take place has been put In condition for the first night's performance, and was closed Tuesday morning until the show opens at I o'clock Tuesday night. Manager Ryley was at the Coliseum Tuesday completing the final arrange ments, and a number of those who have entries In the show spent a por tion of the day exercising their mounts and taking the final lessons In han dling them. During the first performance Tues day night nearly one hundred and fifty horses will be seen In the ring, con sisting of harness horses, saddle horses, rohdstera and ponies In harness. While a number of the entries :e»ve been brought from other stales, the vast majority of the 369 that will be seen are local, and the people of Allan, la will have opportunity to realise something many of them have never realised before—that Atlanta can boast of beautiful horaes of finest breed, ths peer of any In the land.

NEGRO BISHOPS OPPOSED IN THE MAJOR1I \ RE PORI The committee's majority report bearing on negro bishops In the Episcopal convention was as follows: ..... "The Angle-Saxon race has earned the right, through years of toll, to be leaders of the church. We don't want dioceses run on rectal lines. We recommend auxiliary Episcopal ministration and that the constitution be amended so suffragan bishops can be sleeted In dioceses without rights of succession but with a seat, though not a vote, In the house of bishops."

Race Question Up. Vividly the report pictured the dis astrous result* of schlem and nodal problems that might ensue from euch an experiment In organlxatlon. "The Anglo-Saxon race haa earned the right through years of toll to be leaders of the Church,” said the report "We don't want diocese* run on racial line* We recommend auxiliary Epl*- copal ministration and that th* consti tution be amended *o euffragan bishop# can be elected In dioceses without flghti of succeMloif, but with & seat which call* for a segregation of the negro church. This 1* regarded a* on extreme remedy, and It provoked tre mendous opposition. “We are leglnlat Ing for‘the white inan as well as the negro," said Mr. Buckner. 'The mis sionary plan doe* not meet the need* of the colored people.” Judge Hicks, of Arkansas, said: “In the year* to come we must recognise racial differences an they exist In the North, as well ns In the South. We have forgotten that there ever was a sectlonV line. Northerners have less patience with negroes than we of the South have. We know little la to be expected from the negro and forgive him his shortcoming*. I am not ar rogating too much when I say we are better able to eettle the question in the South than the diocese* of the North. 1 deplore the fact that any can contem plate the mingling of whites and ne groes even In a religious congregation.

The principal event of the day was Walter Christie’s race against time. In which he lowered the Southern mile record on a half-mile track. Th* race between the Ford and Pope-Hartford automobiles was also an Interesting feature of the day. The Ford proved the winner. While the races were being held the paddock was crowded with automobiles of every description, and It was a gay scene they presented. The grand stand was well filled and the race course for half the distance around was lined with spectators. Although th* automobile race* were the main events of the day, there was great Interest In the horse races and excitement was keen while they were being held. Close finishes marked three of the four race*, but It was easy money for Sam Clay In the third, when he took the lead at the beginning of the seven furlong dash and held It to the finish, passing under the wire far In advance of his closoet competitor.

OPERATORS STfOK; SITUATION SAME The local situation among the strik ing telegraph operators In Atlanta Is practically unohanged. An enthusiastic meeting, which was well attended, was held Monday night at their hall on the viaduct, at- which feeling and warm speeches were made by many of the members of their organization. Secretary Pinson said: "The situation both here and else where shows material Inorease In the number of men that are out on strike. It is true that a scattered few have gone back, but this Is mure than made up by those who have become disgust ed and come out. The operators have made up their minds to remain away Indefinitely unless their grievances are recognised and a Just and honorable settlement made. "The major company yesterday seem, ed Jubilant In malting public the an nouncement that It had a printing tele graph machine which would ‘cover a multitude of sine'—that Is, the lack of several operators. The fact Is that this machine has been In use for several years and has proven a failure. Almost from the time of the Invention of the telegraph automatic telegraph ma chines have been Invented and experi mented with, but a practical one has Rowland machine," Secretary Pinson continued, "Is even less prac tical than the Barclay machine.” In conclusion the secretary said If the machine had been practical, they would have been put Into general use long ago. "Advlcea from everywhere tndleate that the men have voted unanimously to continue the strike until an honor able adjustment Is reached," he said. The following telegram was received Monday morning from Percy Thomaa, acting president, at New York: “New York decided enthusiastically never to surrender. Locale all voted enthusiastically to stick until victory Is achieved.” On* Striker Returns. “One striker has already gone back to work and we have applications from several more," said General Superin tendent J. Levin, of the Western Union. "Those who are of good character and competent and who wish to return will have their applications respectfully considered," continued Mr. Levin. "It w* have places for them they will get good treatment and nothing wtll be held against them. I would not do thnt, and I will not permit any afllclal under me to treat them otherwise. “But not a single operator who hoe stood by us In this affair will be dis charged to make room for a striker. They have stood by us and we will stand by them. The strikers who wish lo return will have to wait their turn and be considered as Individuals.” Postal's Attitude. “The Postal will take beck euch strikers of ability and good character as there are places for. or as vacancies occur, but they will have to wait their turn." This Is the attitude of the Postal as summed up by Genei-al Superintendent G. E. Paine, of the Southern division. And, according to Manager Alfred M. Beatty, of the Atlanta office, there are no vacancies at present. WM. G. ROCKEFELLER DIDN’T SHOW UP; MAY COME LATER New York, Oct. 15.—The failure of William G.
