ATTACKED WOMAN
AND TOOK POISON
Wiihtagton, Dec. 21—Mr*. Ida Joit, aged
8. who conduct! a dairy, was badly beaten
tod cut ibout the face with milk bottles
and glasses last night while In the kitchen
of her home, by a discharged negro em
ployee, whom the says It named John How
ard. An bonr later Howard, aged 19. was
found unconscious In the bath room of hit
parents* rooms from poison.
That the going out of whisky has
not hurt Atlanta real estate and that
business men are sanguine, was shown
Monday by Joe Gross, the two-dollar
hat man, when he turned down an of
fer tor a lease he has on the big
Peachtree-st. store now occupied by
Hose, the liquor dealer.
Soon after the prohibition bill passed,
Mr. Gross secured a five-year lease on
the Rose building, and intended mov
ing In there after the first of the year.
A few days ago he was approached
by the agent$of a capitalist and nego
tiations were opened for the purchase
of this lease. Mr. Gross was offered
$5,000 for his lease and was given un
til Monday morning to think It over.
Mr. Gross wanted the $5,000, and still
he felt sure his business would
crease In the new store.
He weighed matters over, and on
Monday he had fully concluded that
to* take‘$5,000 and remain where he wus
and not be able to enlarge his busi
ness would be a losing proposition. So,
he turned down the offer.
“A little thing like the going out of
whisky.” said Mr. Gross, “Is not; going
to hurt Atlanta. I expect to make
more than the amount offered for the
lease In the first year, or I wouldn’t
have refused the offer. You can’t keep
Atlanta down.”

MAIL CONTRACTORS
DRIVE POOR HORSES
After striking terror to the hearts of
corporation officials and Individuals
who work crippled animals. E. V. D.
Haskell. Atlanta's strenuous agent of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
elty to Animals, has gone after higher
game.
He has tackled the wagons and
horses that transport United States
mall to and from the railroad depots,
In spite of the fact that “U. S." In big
letters wers painted on these wagons,
and that people hesitate about bother*
fnlt with them. Agent Haskell had
cases made against the people respon
sible for using animals'In no condition
to work. The blow fell on the con
tractor who carries the malls for Uncle
Sam.
Then Agent Haskell consulted with
Postmaster Blodgett and said Uncle
Sam would not do his own animals that
way and that contsactors working for
Uncle Sam could not do that way In
Atlanta. Postmaster Blodgett heartily
agreed with Agent Haskell that the
government would not consent to (
pled animals being worked, and he
heartily co-operate with the humane
man.
"I don't car, who I hit,” says Agent
Haskell; "but cruelty to animals In
Atlanta must stop."
DECATUR-ST.’S NAME

Following the closing of the saloons
on January 1. It Is proposed by the
merchants and business men of Deca-

even the change of the name of the
Council will be requested to help In
this work, and to this end to have the
street paved with asphalt, and have
laws passed that will forbid the use of
the street habitually by street faker*
and the riff-raff of the under-world.

7HDK0UGHNESS-DISCIPUN£-UP-TO-mEKESS'EFFICIENCY.
BERNARD C. ANSTED, President.
Declaring that the evidence falls to
show that the 85-cent rate on boots
and shoe* from the north by rail and
water routes to Atlanta has Injured the
carrier companies, Judge Newman
handed down a decision, Saturday af
ternoon, allowing the temporary Ve
straining order to remain in force in
this well 'known case until the com
plalnants can present the "matter to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
. This cage Is the one In which the M.
C. Kiser Company and the J. K. Orr
Shoe Company applied for, and
cured, a temporary restraining order
against the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line, Atlantic Coast Line, Ocean
Sreamshlp Company, the Merchants
and Miners* Transportation Company
and the Central of Georgia railroad.
''This bill was filed on April 29, 1905.
and sought to prevent the defendants
from raising the rate on boots atfd
shoes by rail and water from New
York from 85 cents a hundred pounds
to $1.06. Prior to February 1, 1905,
tlie rate was $1.14. An order affecting
this was Issuefi by the railroad com
mission, known as circular 301. Later,
the railroads, at a meeting of repre
sentatives in St. Augustine, agreed to
reduce this rate after the commis
sion’s circular had been revoked. The
reduction placed (the rate at 85 cents
in carload lots, and still later, at 85
cents for less than carload lots.
This rate was in effect when, on
April 12, 1905, the railroads and steam
ship lines interested announced in a
Circular that on May 1 following the
rate would be Increased to 93 cents
tor carload lots and $1.06 for less than
this amount.
The complainant! then asked
and received a temporary restraining
order, preventing the railroads from
putting this advance into effect. Sim
liar action was taken before Judge
Speer in Macon, by E. A. Waxelbaum
and others.
The evidence showed It wan useless
for Atlanta Jobbers to try and use car
load lots, so that the advance meant
really from 85 cents to $1.05 a hun
c’.red#
In his decision continuing the re
straining order. Judge Newman says
the evidence falls to show that the
carrying companies have been Injured
by the continuation of the 85-ccnt
rate. He says further that the first
six months of 1906, the last period
available fbr comparison, shewed such
an Increased business that It is rea
sonable to expect that double the bus!
ness would be shown over the same
period In 1904, undet* the $1.14 rate.
Judge Newman concludes by order
ing that the temporary restraining or
der remain In force a reasonable
length of time In order that the com
plainants may present their case to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
in Washington and determine whether
or not the rate proposed by the car-
rlerajs reasonable.
