Six Months in Dungeon.
With ten years In the North Carolina
penitentiary as hla probable future

safes, bank burglaries and years spent
In prison. James Lang, alias "Black
Billy." one of the most dangerous and
moat notorious yeggmen In the United
States, will be released from the Fed
eral prison on November IB.
And with his release the last of a
gong of eleven, all expert In the use of
"puff" on bank vaults, will be gone
from Atlanta. He Is the lost of the
bunch nnd his ten pals who flourished
with him five years ago In several
states of the South In a carnival of
crime unchecked, went some time ago
to the fate he expects.
His pals have done their "bit" In tha
Federal prison and aro now serving
sentences of from five to ten years In
North and South Carolina state prisons
for Jobs pulled off In violation of state
statutes. But even after five years of
confinement In the best of Uncle Sam's

ATLANTA'S
POSTOmCE
Not Sufficient Money
to Build It of
Marble.
Continued on Pago Three.
Waahlngton. D. C., Nov. 8.—The At
lanta postofflce wilt not be built of
marble. That much la certain. Under
the bids sumbltted and the money
available. It Is Impossible to construct
It of marble.
Neither will It be built of limestone
or sandstone.
The supervising architect of the
treasury. J. Knox Taylor, now says that
the building will be very probably con
structed of granite. This will make
• nil* . hanv In ill-* an hit»-. tni.il plan-*
oh first made, for gianlte building re
quires different treatment from a mar
ble structure. In order to preserve
beauty of outline and construction.
While It will be built of granite, the
Interior will be marble and a great deal
of that stone will be used.
The contract will be awarded to one
of the six original bidders, but It may
be weeks before this fs done. The su
pervising architect's office Is busily en
gaged now In revising the bids so as
t6 make them suitable for a granite
construction.
It, Is believed in Atlanta by those
who have been keeping posted on the
new postoffleo situation that there Is
now little. If any, chance of the building
being constructed of mnrble, but that
jOD the contrary Its exterior will be of
Georgia granite.
This means that Venable Bros, will
furnish the granite, for their bid for
this material was the lowest, and $31,-
000 cheaper than the lowest bid for the
Georgia marble. In speaking of the
dispatch from Washington, Mr. Venable
said the probable decision of Mr. Knox
was caused by the telegrams sent by
Congressman Livingston and the Cham,
ber of Commerce, and he K Inclined to
believe granite will be selected.
But even at this there will still be
Georgia marble used on the Interior,
although the contract will not be such
u largo one ax If the exterior bud been
of this material.

ol District Attorney Jerome at noon
today and announced that he desired to

ness.
"I am In the hands of my lawyers,”
was all he would say. From the Green

will have to ask my lawyer."
"Mr. Hitchcock haa come bock to be
vindicated," said Mr. Goldsmith. "That
Is all tbero Is to say."
That the physical condition of th#
Georgia railroad Is far from being what
It should. Is said to be the testimony
now before the railroad commission,
which testimony was submitted by an
expert, who spent several weeks In
specting the physical condition of ths
I.
The fact that the Georgia road has
hen Inspected iignln. under direction ot
the commission. Is known to only a
few people. In fact, the matter has
been kept very quiet, and the report
woe made and placed In the hands of
the commission before any Inkling of
It lenked out.
That this Inspection will show that
there are many Imperfections In the
main line between Atlanta and Au
gusta Is believed. It Is said that th*
report testifies that at one point, prob-

At other points flail-plate*. that tl*

said tliut this expert, who la so old

that he Inspected every foot of track,

imperfection.
In the light of the report made sov-
eral months ago by Expert Jackson, of
the Ohio railroad commission, who tes
tified that the Georgia railroad was In
excellent condition, this report of an
other expert showing opposite condi
tions I* likely to create a sensation.
Not Yet Made Publie.
When the report will he made publie

The name of the expert who mad*
