ument. President Roosevelt today ex-
oorlated Joseph Pulitzer, editor of The
New York World, for attacks on the
administration In connection with the
Panama canal purchase.
Mr. Pulitzer’s charges are character,

the president brands him as a vlllfler
of the American people. •
He asserts that the government will
proceed against Mr. Pulitzer for libel.
The message la considered one of the
most merciless denunciations ever ad
ministered by a president of the United
States.
The message la aa follows:
To the Senate and House <>t Repre
sentatives:
In view of the constant reiteration
of tha aaaertfon that then waa some
corrupt action by or on behalf of the
United States government In the ac
quisition to the title of the French com
pany to the Panama canal, and of the
repetition of the story that a syndi
cate of American citizens owned
neither one or both of the Panama
companies, I deem It wlae to submit
to the congress all the Information I
have on the subject. These stories
were first brought to my attention aa
published In a paper In Indianapolis,
railed The News, edited by Mr. Delavan
Smith. The atorlea were scurrilous and
libelous In character and false In every
particular.
Mr. Smith shelters himself behind the
excuse that he merely accepted the
statements which had appeared In a
paper published In New York. The
World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. It
Is Idle to say that the known character
of Mr. Pulitzer and hla newspaper are
such that the statements In that
will be believed by nobody; uni
nately thousands of persons are Ill-
Informed In this respect and believe the
statements they see In print, even tho
they appear In a newapapr published

MONROE. Ga., Dec. 15,—Charles
Studdard. 47 years of age, night watch
man, lost his life during a heroic effort
to check the spread of flame. In the big
seed mill of the Southern Cotton Oil
Company, which was destroyed by fire
here early this morning, entailing
property loss of 160,000.
The lire originated In the huller at 2
o'clock this morning and la supposed
employees to have been due to a
piece of Iron or gravel being fed Into a
machine, the mill being In operation.
When he discovered the fire Studdard
ran from the building, gave the alarm
nnd ran back Into the eeed room, when
lie wan overcome and burned to death.
Hie body was not recovered until• the
lire had coneumed the building. He
will be burled at Rutledge, hla former
home, tomorrow. A wife and three
children survive him.
The lire company, by tireless effort,
tpt the flames from Spreading to other
Hidings, the railroad depot and office
building having been In danger for some
time.
Cotton seed worth tIO.000, stored In
the mill, was destroyed.
The burned building was 100 by 200
feet and two stories high. It was
erected In 1888 bv the Monroe Mill
Company and waa later sold to the
Southern Cotton Oil Company.
Proprietors of the mill who arrived
here at noon from Atlanta announced
that the mill would be rebuilt at once.
It la reported that the Insurance will
cover a large per cent of the loss.
News of the destruction of the milt
was received by wire Tuesday morning j
In the offices of the Southern Cotton |
Oil Company. In the Empire building.
These advices stated that the main j
milt building and machinery' were a I
total loss, and that a lot of the products
had also been destroyed.
According to this Information, Night
Watchman Studdard lost hie life while
lighting the fire In eompany with a I
negro employee. The negro escaped !
unhurt. District Manager L. A. Ran-j
tom stated that hla Information was,
too meager to give in accurate eatl-1
male of the total damage.
C. T. Mobley, local manager of the 1
Monroe mill, was In Atlanta at the time :

She Will Testify in
Trial—Seven Jurors
Selected.
NEW YORK. Dec. 15—Mrs. William
E. Annla waa brought face to face with
T. Jenkins Halns for the first time
since the killing of her husband at the
Bayside Yacht Club, In August, when
the trial of Halns, on the charge of
murder, waa resumed In Flushing be
fore Justice Crane today.
The widow, dressed In heavy mourn
ing and accompanied by her friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burrh-Fleld, wit
nesses to the tragedy, went tc the court
room early and were shown Into Dis
trict Attorney Darrin's office.
Mrs. Annls could see the stairway
and hall up which Halna had to past
on hie way to court. She waa there
watching the passage-when Halns was
brought In handcuffed to Deputy Sher
iff Phillips. Mre. Annie observed him I
closely, but made no comment to her
friends as he marched‘out of her view.
Nine Jurors have been selected, and
It la expected that the other three will
he secured this afternoon. There were
named (oday.
By sales of central real estate and
Blocks, the receivers of the Inman es
tate have raised over $718,000, out of
which the debts of the eatate, amount
ing to $629,000, have been paid, and
there Is enough money and renl estate
nn hand to satisfy the apeclal bequests
of the will, which nmounted to $316,000,
and to leave In addition to thla $26,000
as the residue of the estate.
Of these special bequests $81,000 was
to be paid In money. This sum Is al
ready nn hand. The rest of the special
bequests were to be paid In real prop
erty and stocks, which are on hand for
that purpose. The special bequests are
as follows: Mrs. James B. Duke, $50,-
000; W. P. Inman, Jr.. $76,000; the chil
dren of J. W. Inman. $150,000; Morris
Brandon, $25,000; city of Atlanta for
Grady Hospital. $5,000; Presbyterian
Home Mission Board, $6,000; Prosbyte.
rlan church, $6,000,
Betides the $26,000 residue nf the ee
tats, there will also be other real estate
and personal property whose vetuc can
not now be ascertained. The residue
goee equally to Mrs. Gray and Mrs.
Brandon. Out of this, however, attor
neys' fees mutt bo paid, os well as re
ceivers’ fees^ John L. Hopkins A Sons
and King. Spalding A Little are the
only attorneys who have been allowed
fees so far. They have been awarded
$2,500 on account. Forrest Adair, the
temporary receiver, has refused any
teen.
This work has been practically all
done by Rosser A Brandon, attorneys
for the receivers. ,
With the announcement that the re
ceiver! of tha Inman estate, Mrs. Har
riet F. Brandon and Mre. James R.
Gray, have cleared off the Indebtedness
of the estate by the sale of central real
estate, there Is developed the fact that a
syndicate nr association has been
formed to underwrite the stock It) The
Atlanta Journal, owned by James R.
Gray, together with a sufficient amount
of other stock to place a controlling
Interest of the common stock In the
hands of this syndicate.
The Atlanta Savings Bank, of which
Edward U. Peters Is president, James
W. English vice president, and John K.
Ottley cashier, Is named as the trus
tees for this stock.
It will bo remembered that when re
ceivers for the Inman estate were
named, Jae. R. Gray flled n statement
of Ills assets and liabilities, which I
showed that he had hypothecated $112.-
000 of hie stock to secure a loan of
$100,000 from the Fourth National
Bank, of which James W. English is
president. It was shown that an ad
ditional $126,000 of. this stock wee hy
pothecated by him with u Liverpool
holder.
It hes developed recently that a num
ber of Atlantana have formed a trus
teeship, under an agreement drawn up
by Brown A Randolph, attorneys, as
suming the loan on the stock previously
held ns collateral by the Fourth Na
tional Bank, and such other atock as
could be secured to total more than
$200,000. more than a majority of the
$670,000 shares of common atock Issued
by The Journal Company. The com
m6n atock boa the sole voting power In
the company's affaire.
John K. Ottley, caehler of the At
lanta Savings Bank, refuted to give
out any Information until he had con
sulted James R. Gray. Mr. Gray was
reached by him, and refused to permit
the making public of details of the
agreement.

Decatur, Oa., Dee. 16, 1008.
The Georgians Home As It Is Now
Postofflce receipts, the real gauge nt
a clty’e commerce, show that tho year
1908, now fast coming to a close. Is ttie
most prosperous Atlanta has ever
known. Postmaster E. F. Blodgett's
figures show an Increase of nearly $50,-
000 In receipts for 1908 over 1907, and
the percentage of Increase In Atlanta.
It Is believed, wlll.be larger than the
average percentage of Increase In other
American cities.
The Increase for 1901 Is of even
larger proportions than the actual fig
ures show, for It was made In the fare
of both the general business depression
nnd the new prohibition law, which
took one of the most active lines nf
business, commercially speaking, out nf
the city at the beginning of the yenr.
Could Atlanta have added the liquor
Interests' postoffice business to the fig
ures the postmaster now holds, tho per.
centage of Increase for 1908 would have
ranked with that of the largest cities
In the country.
In making the comparative statement
of the receipts for the years 1907 nnd
1908 Mr. Blodgett, of course, estimated
the receipts for the remaining fifteen
days of this yenr. hut the estimate for
this brief period will not vnry over a
hundred dollars or more from the actual
figures nt the end of the year. The tig.
ures given Include the actual receipts
up to December 15.
1908 Receipts $864,896.
Total postofflce receipts for 1907 were
1823.410.21.
Total receipts for 1908 wero $864,-
896.72.
Increase for 1908, $41,410.21.
The growth of the postofflce business
under Postmaster Blodgett's adminis
tration la clearly shown by comparing
the 1908 business, $864,896, with that of
the year 1901, Just before he took tho
office. In thnt year the total receipts
were, In round numbers, $385,000. show.
Ing a gain of practically half a million
dollars this "ear over 1901.
\ Big Butinese.
The recc.pts at the postofflce, It must
be remembered, are derived from four
sources only. They are tho sale nt
stamps and stamped paper, the pound
rate poetoge, the box rent and the snle
of waste paper. The receipts, there
fore, do not In any way Indicate the
total amount of business transacted nt
the postofflce. The total business han
dled Is better Indicated by the size of
the money order business for the fiscal
year, 1908, which, with money orders
Issued and money orders cashed,
reached a total of $3,939,420.75. of which
$1,582,192.26 was the sum of mnn#v
orders Issued. The payroll at the office
amounts to $176,000 per month. Includ

rural carriers paid off here.

This Ii b picture of Ths Georgian's horns as It appears now. nearly fin
ished. A visit to It now will be a convincing argument as to the valu?
of this beautiful house and lot. which we estimate In all conservatism to
have a present worth of $5,000. A year will add S1.000 to Its value.

l«ay and a home where one can abide In serenity and. comfort apart from
the rush and turmoil of the madding crowd.
