PUMLMIISES
TO PASSTHIS SESSION
Advocates Will Urge Civic
Center Plan and Expect
to Put It Thru.
Systematic endeavor to secure the
necessary legislative authority for the
Atlanta civic center plaza project has
been undertaken by the Joint committee
If the Chamber of Commerce and city
council. The matter has been brought
to the personal attention of every
member of the general assembly In ad
vanee of the session that opens next
Wednesday. Advocates of tho proposl
tlon are confident of success this sum
mcr In securing the state's permission
to bridge the railroad yards thru the
renter of the city. Last year the prop,
nnltlon was presented late In the session
and never reached a vote, tho the
Western and Atlantic railroad commit
tee unanlmoualy reported It favorably
With that atart, the frlenda of the
measure, who are the united business
Interests of, Atlanta, feel that It will be
pushed to an early and favorable con
sideration.
The entire Fulton county delegation,
It Is said, will Introduce the measure
land fight for Its adoption. The Joint
committee has sent to each legislator a
circular letter, fully explaining what the
proposition Is, what the citizens of At
lanta propose to do to carry It out,
how It will beautify and enhance the
value of the state's railroad property
and be of real financial benefit to the
atate. It Is stated that the Improve
ment will produce a revenue fob th
state of $270,000 per annum, thru th
erection of the proposed terminal eta
tlon and ofllco building.
Accompanying the letter that has
been sent out are two Illustrations, one
a pictorial Idea of how the plaza will
look when completed and the other a
map of the heart of the city, showing
the plaza location and Its relation to
public buildings and Institutions.
Governor-elect Hoke Bmlth has made
suggestion that the plan be changed
to the extent of locating the proposed
terminal and office building In the fan-
fhaped area west of the Forsyth-st.
bridge. Instead of on the site of the
present union depot, between Pryor-st.
and Central-ave. No action, however,
has as yet been taken on that sugges
tion. This would make the approach
to the station from Forsyth-st.

Washington, June 21.—Trusts were
held up as a panacea for business, trou.
bles of the country today before the
house committee Investigating the al
leged sugar trust. Taking up his testi
mony where he left off yesterday, Hor
ace Havemeyer, aon of the late sugar
king, maintained that “trusts are a good
thing for the public.” It Is much bet
ter for large concerns to absorb small
er business than for the latter fo be
come bankrupt." waa on* of the In
teresting declarations of the witness
which he made to bring out fully hla
championship of trade combinations.
“Do you mean to say,” asked Repr
sentatlve Raker, “that monopoly la
great thing for the public?"
Monopoly a Good Thing.
“I think reasonable monopoly Is good
for both the Investors and the cus
tomers,” answered young Havemeyer.
"I think that combination Is better
than competition between a large re
finery and a number of small refineries,
with limited capital and limited tech
nical knowledge of the business. It la
better to take In the small fellows than
to see them go bankrupt."
"In other words," suggested Repre
sentatlve Raker, "It 1s all right for a
big concern to gobble up these little
fellows scattered here and there over
the country?"
"Yes, I think so,” answered Have
meyer.
"That would be preferable to run
ning these smaller concern* out of
business by competition."
"Take the formation of the National,”
suggested Mr. Baker. “It was a 120,-
000,000 corporation with about half Its
stock watered. Did you not sell sugar
ao as to bring dividends on this stock?”
presume so.” answered Have
meyer.
Raker Can’t See It.
"Then I fall to see how such plansi
could benefit the public,” said the Cal
ifornia representative.
Mr. Raker wanted to know what
Henry Havemeyer had paid for the
810,000,000 common stock In tho Na
tional, which President Post haa testi
fied was "watered.”
This stock Is now the subject of lit
igation In that It stands In Post’s name,
but was turned over to Havemeyer.
Th* witness said his father's name
waa worth millions at the time of the
combine.
"Beyond the value of your father’s
name no cash equivalent was paid for
the stock,” suggested Representative
Raker.
Young Havemeyer knew of no cash
exchanged for the 110,000,000 In com
mon stock. He testified that If he ob
tains possession of the stock as a re
sult of litigation, he will make the Na
tional a competitor of the American
Sugar Refining Company.

Southerners in Congress Will
Direct Their Energies
Against Bill.
Washington, June 21.—With pros
pects that the Democratic majority
will not agree to the Bristow amend
ment, the house today began debate on
the bill, as amended by the senate, pro
viding for the direct election of sena
tors by vote of the people.
The bill as originally drawn passed
the house by a large majority. In the
senate It was amended, on a tie vote
decided by the vice president, so that
the Federal government reserves Juris-
diction over the time, manner and place
of holding senatorial elections. When
the bill waa called up In the house to
day by Representative Rucker, chair
man of the house committee on elec
tions, It was Immediately manifest that
the Democrats, especially those from
the Southern atatea which have negro
disfranchisement laws, will make a vig
orous light to keep the bill In the ehape
that It left the lower body.
The house decided to debate the
measure for three and a half hours, In
asmuch as there were a number of
Democrats who wanted to attack the
Bristow amendment and some Repub
licans proposed to defend it.
Representative Olmstead. of Pennsyl
vania, opened with a speech Iq favor of

7. VIADUCT
TO BE PUSHED THRU
McElreath to Introduce
For Authority to Build
Two Bridges.
Bill
Bills providing the neceesary legis
lative authority for bridging the rail
road tracks at Pryor-st. and Central-
ave. have been drawn, and will be
introduced soon after the general as-
sembly convenes. Representative Wal
ter McElreath will present these bill*
In the house. They are to provide' for
a bridge at either Pryor-*t. or Central-
ave., or both, and either for elevated
structures to conform with the grades
of the Whitehall-*!., Broad-st.. and :
Forsyth-st. bridges or for the depres
sion Of the railroad tracks sufficiently ■
to maintain the present grades In Pry- j
or-st. and Centra I-a v^. The elevated
structures, however, are considered
more probable, since they will (It Into
the proposed Bleckley plaxa project.
Plans, prepared by Solomon-Norcros*
Company, engineers, engaged by those
behind the movement, will be submitted
with these bills, tq clearly show Just
what Is proposed. The engineers havn
estimated that the two bridges can be
constructed and the grades of Alabama
and Wall-sts. raised to the bridge lev
els, practically carrying them to present
second-story levels, for 8338,060. This
Is distributed as follows: Pryor-st.
viaduct, 1104,490; Central-ave. viaduct,
8103.000; Wall-st. elevation, 889,910;
Alabama-at. elevation, 340,850.
The question of securing the money
for these Improvements has not yet
been taken up, tho the city council
has shown Its Interest hy adopting a
resolution Indorsing the desired legis
lation, The matter has been Informal,
ly discussed with President P. S. Ark
wright, of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company, and he Is quoted
as being heartily In favor of It. It Is
said this company would contribute
826,000 to 850,000 toward the cost of a
viaduct at Pryor-at., for permission to
operate cars over It, and thereby re
lieve the Whltehall-st. and Broad-st.
brides of one-third of their street car
traffic. For Instance, the West Peach
tree and South Pryor car* and the
Forrest-ave.-CapItol-ave. cars now us
ing the Whitehall viaduct would be
routed over Pryor-st. Watchmen at
the Pryor-st. and Central-ave. cross
ings now cost the railroads 82,600 or
more a'year, or 5 per cent Interest, on
850,000, to say nothing of the dangers
from personal Injury damage suits and
the delays In handling trains Jn and out
of the union depot, because of the
grade crossings. It Is therefore be
lieved these roads would contribute :
largely to the Improvements. Tho:
county could be expected to help to J
some extent, since the courthouse prop- .
erty would be enhanced and made more
accessible. The enhancement of prop
erty values would net the city addi
tional tax returns to Justify a large ap
propriation from the city. From the
standpoint of the state. It would make ,
the capltoi more accessible from down,
town business centers, hotels, etc.
Promoters of the viaduct proposition
are confident they will secure the nec
essary legislative right to bridge tb*
state's tracks.
