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.

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.

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 the Bristow plan. GOV. COMER’S APPOINTEE WINS IN CIRCUIT COURT Montgomery, Ala., June 21.—Judge W. W.

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.
