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, (zed aa scurrilous and Itbalou*. and 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 by Mr. Pulitzer. A member of congress baa actually Introduced a resolution In reference to these charges. I there fore lay all the facts before you. The story repeated awvarlous times Continued on Page Four.

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.

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.

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. T POSTOFFICE Receipts For Year Are $50,000 Larger Than in 1907.

All of my equipment advertiaed In your want column# was sold. Appreciating your good work. Yours vary truly, O. HOLMAN OARDNER. 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.
