Five Concerns Under Fire of
Clark McKercher at St.
Paul, Minn.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 24.—The fifth
■ult In the country-wide fight to break
up the ao-called lumber trust was be
gun in the United States courts here
today by Clark McKercher, special as
sistant to Attorney General Wicker-
sham.
The suit Is directed against the fol
lowing concerns an<d persons: i
Northwestern Lumberman’s associa
tion ; Lumber Secretaries Bureau of In
formation, an Illinois corporation al
ready under fire In another suit In Colo,
rado: Luke W. Boyce, owner of a pri
vate detective agency, and the Lumber
man Publishing Company, publishers of
a trade journal which, the government
charges, has been the organ of the trust
In this section.
As In similar suits now pending, the
government alleges that the lumber
trade has been unreasonably restrained
by Illegal agreements which prevent the
consumer from buying of whom he will,
which absolutely forbid competition and
which have divided the country Into
non-competitive districts.
All the allegations in the bill, which
la replete with exhibits of letters, lists,
regulations and minutes of meetings,
indicate that the government Is in pos
session of much original evidence.
The government asks Injunctions re
straining all the defendants from con
tinuing the acts of which complaint is
made.
I announce myself a candidate
for council from the Third ward,
subject to the Democratic pri
mary October 26. Your vote
and support will be appreciated.

WOMEN SEE WINNING WIDOW
A c GUESTS OF THE GEORGIAN
the pleasure of its guests was sin
cere. could it heve heard the expres
sions of wonder that greeted e«eh
111
stons of wonder that greeted each
heautlfjil gown worn by Florence May,
the beautiful leading woman, and the
other members of the feminine contin
gent.
It was truly a great night and the 200
Atlanta women who held The Geor
gian’s Invitation, which, when ex
changed at the Lyric box offlce, entitled
them to an orchestra seat. Indeed had
the laugh on their less fortunate sisters
who were forced to pay for the same
amount of fun and amusement.
But even at such a late date there
seem, from a conversation heard In the
lobby after the first act Monday night,
to be some who doubted the sincerity
of The Georgian's oiler.
“Lemma tell you." said a man to a
friend as they enjoyed a cigarette be
tween the nets, “I had the surprlso of
my life this evening. I had been work
ing pretty hard at the offlce all day
and felt that I needed something fall of
music and laughter to brace me up.
Decided the best thing would be a mu
sical show, so. seeing by the papers
that 'The Winning Widow’ was the
only show of that kind In town, want
home with the determination of taking
my wife there tonight.
’’ ’Want to go to the theaterr I asked
my wife as I entered the door. ‘Yes,
I'm going,' ahe answered with a mys-

Representatives of almost 100 plants
of the South engaged In the manufac
ture of yellow pine sash, doors, blinds
and mill work will gather here Friday
morning for the hearing of a case in
which they are intereeted before Spe
cial Examiner Broyles of the Interstate
commerce commission. The special ex
aminer will be sent here to take testi
mony not only In this rase, styled Mas-
seo & Felton Lumber Company et al.
against the Southern Railway Company
et al., but in several other Atlanta and
Southeastern cases. The hearing will
be held st the Federal building.
Wlmblsh A Ellis are attorneys for the
complainants, fourteen lumber manu
facturing companies In Georgia, Ala
Southern, the Atlantl
Seaboard, the Louisville nnd Nashville,
the Queen and Crescent, the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Central
of Georgia, the Norfolk and Western,
ths Chesapeake and Ohio, the Penn
sylvania. the Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and SL Louis, ths Raltlmore
and Ohio, the Ocean Steamship Com
pany and the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company.
Ths complaint Is brought In behalf of
all the manufacturers of doors, sash
and blinds In ths South, In order to
obtain reduced rates on window glass
from Pittsburg to Southern destina
tions. -
Ths principal contention Is that gloss |
can be shipped to Chicago, manufac
tured Into glazed saah and then shipped
to Macon, Meridian, Montgomery and'
other points in Atlanta territory as
cheap and sometimes ehea
lanta can get the unmanul
terlal.
The capital Invested In plants of this
sort in ths South Is tt.000,000, while ths
gross annual output Is 110,000,000, and
the railroads obtain a total revenue of
2150,000 per year from them. If the re
duction sought is obtained, the annual
saving In freight rates will be about
210,000.
Attorney Wlmblsh Tuesday received
notice from Washington that the Inter
vening petition In behalf of the Atlanta
Freight bureau against the recent gen
eral threatened rate raise by all ths
railroads, In which New Orleans, Louis
ville and other centers are intereeted,
will be heard at Louisville on Decem
ber 12, and New Orl.eans on December
27, by C. C. IfcCord. a member of the
Interstate comjneree commission. The
commissioner may come to Atlanta If
uested to do so.

' "elcomw Thw.Georgian intw their
terioue twinkle in her eye. 'I'm going
to the Lyric,’ she continued, and shoved
a bit of cardboard In my hand which
told that when presented at the box
offlce It would be good for a reserved
seat. 'Ah, I've seen these things be-,
fore,' I told her. ‘Add 26 or 50 cents to
It and the seat Is yours.’
“But I thought I'd take a chance, to,
bringing the coupon with ms, I pushed
It Into the box offlce and asked whether
it was worth anything. 'Worth one
orchestra chair,' the fellow In the cage
answered. You could have knocked
me over when, after I had paid for my
own seat, I was given two of tho best
orchestra teats. And my wife, she’s
sitting In there as proud and inde
pendent, she's almost as funny as the
show."
Just then the bell rang for the rise of
the. curtain and the men disappeared
Into the theater.
The Georgian hae Invited Its lady
readers to attend "The Winning Wid

receiving an Invitation as Its personal
guest. Each morlng this week eight
agents of The Georgian start out in dif
ferent parts of the city distributing ths
Invitations to each lady at whose house
one of them calls, and who can produce
a copy of The Georgian for the current
day or the day preceding.
Those who saw “The Winning Wid

The Great October Sale of
Fine Brass Beds
Guaranteed for Five Years
We have received a solid car load of fine grade brass beds.
We secured them at a marked concession in price, from one of the
greatest manufacturers of brass beds in the land. His product is-
recognized, wherever brass beds are known, as the finest that are
produced. The great lot which we bought from him represented
almost his entire surplus stock as well as his.line of sample beds.
' ' It’s a splendid collection of beds—seldom over two or three
of a kind—and ranging from the least expensive brass-lacquered
bed to the most luxurious ones of solid brass. It’s a stock of brass
beds such as we have never before owned—even the cheapest
possessing that symmetry of line and appearance of solidity that
one expects to find in only the more expensive grades.
We think you’ll find the prices lower than you’ve ever seen
before for beds of such goodness.
And remember,* pi ease, that ALL of these beds ARE GUAR
ANTEED—even the least expensive. We feel no hesitation in
asseting that many of them will be in almost
THE rinniMTcn perfect condition twenty years from
THE GUARANTEE now. BUT EVEN THE CHEAPEST
IS GUARANTEED FOR FIVE
YEARS. We know of no other Atlanta
house that thus guarantees ALL their
brass bed.
We guarantee any brass bed
purchased from us—no matter
how small the cost—to give per
fect satisfaction for five years
from date of purchase. If it
does not, we will replace it.
PRICES RANGE FROM $12.50
TO $80.

JUDGE HOLDEN HAS EYE
Believed He Will Make Race in
Tenth District After Leav
ing Supreme Bench.
Whan Judge Horace N. Holden re
Gres from the supreme court bench
next Monday he will go to Augusta,
where he Intends to make hla home and
to practice law. Heretofore he has re
aided at Crawfordvllle, Taliaferro
county. Mrs. Holden and children will
probably remain In Atlanta until ths
schools clots for the Christmas holi
days. when they will remove to Augus
ta. so that the children can enter acnool
with the beginning of the new term.
Judge Holden's removal to Augusta Is
significant. It means that he la likely
to become a candidate for congreas In
the Tenth dlatrict next year. Of course.
Taliaferro county Is in that district,
but Richmond is ths real big county of
the district and the one about which
congressional politics center*.
On Tuesday Judge Holden was asked
If he Intended to run for congreas In
the Tenth next year. Ills reply, while
non-committal, was made In such a
manner os to Impress ths idea that he
is seriously considering it. If not next
year three years hence. But as next
year Is a presidential year, hla an
nouncement for Congressman Hard
wick's seat would not be surprising.
It Is freely talked In political circles
that Judge Holden had an eye on the
Tenth district teat when he was ap
pointed to the supreme Jbench four
years ago. Saturday, October 24, by
the way, closed an even four yean for
Judge Holden on the bench. He was
appointed by Governor Hoke Smith
early In bla former administration.
