That the Southern Bell Telephone
Company and the Cumberland Tele
phone Company, both under the control
f the parent organization, the Amerl-
m Bell Company, are to be merged
..nil the combined business directed
(rom Atlanta, Is the report which has
been circulated In tlnanctal circles (or
the past two weeks and which persist
ently Is repeated.
Neither a confirmation nor a denial of
the rumor could bo obtained from local
fflrlals Of the Southern Bell. They
ould only say they knew nothing of the
matter and that If such a change were
made It would first bo announced from
the New York offices of the American
Heii Company.
The Cumberland Telephone Company,
f which James T. Caldwell Is president
ml I.eland Hume general manager. Is
bout equal In extent and Importance to
hr Southern Bell Company, and Is con
sidered one of the finest of the proper-
les connected with the American Bell
ystem. Its lines extend thru Tennes-
ee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi,' a
>a rt of Kentucky and lower Illinois and
nto several other states.
It was reported a short time ago that
’resident-Caldwell had disposed of his
took and that of associates, making a
ontrolllng Interest, to the American
tell Company, and that a call has been
ent out, to the remaining stockholders
o turn In, their holdings and receive
itork in exchange In the contemplated
Berger.
If the change Is made, as contem-
lated, It would probably have slight
fleet on the Atlanta oflises, except to
irlng to this city several Important ofil-
lals now at the Nashville headquar-
K ers. It Is believed that President \V. T.
lentry, who Is looked upon as ono of
he most valuable men In the Bell
orces, would be retained at the head
if thn larger corporation.
That formal announcement of the

mfldent expectation of men In touch

STEPHENS WILL ASSIST
London, Dec. 22.—Persia has granted
Russia’s demands and will depose W.
Morgan Shuster, the American treas
urer-general. according to an announce
ment made by the Persian legation here
at noori today.
hater In the afternoon the British
foreign office received confirmation
from Teheran that Persia had ylolded
to the Russian ultimatum In order to
prevent the occupation of the capital by
Russian troops.
The Russian ultimatum sent to the
Persian government on November 29
Included a demand for indemnity for
transportation of Russian eossacks Into
Persia as well as the dismissal of Mr.
Shuster.
Official dispatches bringing details of
the fighting between Persians and Rus
sians near Tabriz, Persia, were received
hers today. These dispatches stated
that the fighting broke out when the
Russians attempted to sglze the Persian
government buildings In Tabriz.
Persian soldiers, reinforced by cltl-
jaens who had armed themselves against
l the Russians, attacked the Invaders.
The Persian officials refused to leave
their offices, barricading the doors and
windows. ’
The Russians fired upon the build
ings, killing several of the officials. Tho
Persians were finally driven from the
postofflee building. This was prompt
ly seized by the Russians, who sta
tioned eossacks before it with loaded
rifles to prevent any attempt at Us re
capture. In the meantime the citizens
and Persians troops had thrown up
barricades across the street and were
firing from windows upon the Russians.
The general In command of the Russian
detachment gave orders to clear the
streets. The Invading eossacks charged
upon the Persians, shooting some and
cutting down others and finally putting
all the defenders to flight.

Hugh it- Dorsey, solicitor general of
Fulton county, announces that on Jan

to be assistant solicitor general, suc
ceeding Eb T. Williams, who retires
to devote himself to the practice of
law.. Colonel Williams has been 111 for
several months, and finds ■ the vCork In

During the Illness of Colonel \\ II*
liams, Mr. Stephens has assisted So-
lloltor General Dorsey and acquitted
himself with great credit. His grasp
of tha. details of the office, with Its
heavy volume of work, has been grat
ifying to the solicitor general, who
himself has had to devote all. his ener

county has to face.
It has been a year of hard work with
Solicitor Dorsey, and In that time the

as for the year before he assumed the
office.
Solicitor General Dorsey expects to
make other marked Improvements In
the conduct of the prosecutor’s office,
and by spring will have secured a first-
class detective to be attached to the
office. This will be In line with the
precedent established by district at
torneys In the metropolitan dries North
and Enst. In Memphis, a smaller city
than Atlanta, the attorney general has
his office detective. The detectives
duties will be to hurry to the scene of

so that prosecutions will be more suc
cessful and these convictions will have
a tendency to reduce .the number of
crimes.

Tabriz, Persia, vis St. Petsrsburg,
Dec. 22.—Fighting between Persians
and Russians Is still going on near here,
and sa a result the war spirit Is sweep
ing like wildfire over the northern prov
inces of Persia.
A detachment of Russian soldiers
who were repairing a telephone line
near here were attacked by Persian,
constitutionalists today. The Russians,
who were strongly armed, fired several
volleys into the Persians, killing two
and wounding several others. The bal
ance of the Persian fores retreated.
Russian eossacks have seized the tel.
egraphs In a number of towns through
out northern Persia. The main body of
the Russian army of 4.000 was reported
still to be at Kashin today, altho the
soldiers were under marching orders
and were ready to Droceed south upon

8t. Petersburg, Dec. 22.—Russia's In
tention to retaliate against the United
States for the abrogation of the Rus-
slan-Amerlcan treaty with a tariff war
shown today by the introduction
In the dura's of a proposal to regulate
the schedules covering commerce be
tween this country and America, by M.
Gulchkoff, ex-preSldent of that body.
The octobrists and nationalists, who
hold the majority of votes, favor tho
measure. The bill proposes to raise ex
isting duties 100 per cent, and also Im
pose a duty of 100 per cent upon arti
cles which are now admitted free un
der the present Russian turilt,
The “most favored nation” clnuse on
United States goods will be abrogated.
Altho It Is said that the tariff increases
are leveled at countries which don't
grant Russia tho “most favored na
tion” treatment, nevertheless It Is di
rected specifically at the United States.
It ts also proposed lo levy double the
gross weight tax on all. merchandise.
Should the present American tonnag”
tax be raised to the disadvantage of
Russian vessels, the Russian tonnage
tax Will be correspondingly Increased
The proposals, which urn signed by
M. Lolkhe and M. Karvakfn, members
of the octobrist party, as well as by
M. Guchkoff, will bediubmlttcd to a spe
cial committee to be appointed by the
duma and the recommendations of,’this
commission will likely be enacted.
In explanation of the proposed tariff
Increases, the sponsors of the proposals
stated that the regular American tariff
schedules, which will be applicable to
Russian goods at the expiration of the
1832 treaty, as high as to be virtually
prohibitive and that they greatly .ex
ceed the normal Russian tariffs.
Accompanying the measure Is a com
munication which deals extensively
with the Russo-American situation, dis
cussing In full the steps have been
taken by President Taft and the Amer
ican congress. The submission of this
document was the first formal recogni
tion taken by tho duma of the situation
which has arisen between the two
countries over the passport question.
While foreign affairs lie outside the
authority of the duma and treaties are
not subject to Its approval, neverthe
less the duma constitutes a wide sphere
of Influence on the relations of Russia
with other countries.
The fund passed the $500 mark
in a hurry Friday morning. Up
to noon the total* of contributions
was $533.07—a record for the
Empty. Stocking fund.
A piece of'a day is left and
if the friends or the unfortunate
keep up their work the total will
reach $G00 this year.
The fund must be distributed
by noon Saturday in order that
1he greatest amount of good bo
accomplished. j

That liquor sellers are paid a regular
and alluring salary by wholesale "blind
tigers” for the time the agents servo
In the city prison, is the Information
now In the hands of Chief Newport
I.anford of the detective department
It came to light Friday morning fol
lowing the exclusive publication In Th*
Georgian Thursday afternoon of Re
corder Broyles’ guarantee to break up
the blind tiger business If he Is given
authority to sentence liquor sellers to
twelve months Instead of 80 days. Chief
Lanford, In heartily approving . the
proposition of Judge Broyles, urges this
asa' splendid argument In favor of the
longer term.
’To give the recorder the authority
to sentence “blind tigers” to the stock
ade for twelve months,'a resolution will
be Introduced at a special' meeting of
council Friday afternoon by Council
men Chambers and Miner.
Needs Chsrtsr Amendment,
However,' before *h!s authority can
be confet-red upon the recorder the teg.
(stature must grant a charter amend
ment extending his power'of sentence
from .30 days. It may be that general
matters will be prohibited-at the meet
ing Friday afternoon. If they.are not,
the resolution extending the recorder’s
authority will be presented at-the first
meeting of council 'In the new year.
Alderman F. J. Spratllng says he
wishes to Join In presenting such a
resolution. Mayor.Winn says If coun
cil passes it’he will approve It with
pleasure. There seems to be no doubt
that If council-passes the resolution re
questing the legislature for such’a char
ter amendment the legislature will
grant It.
Then. Recorder Broyles will be given
an opportunity to make good his prom
ise of stamping out practically all
‘blind tigers” within a short time.
Some members of council say they
consider It most too much authority
to confer upon a recorder; But they
do not wish to be quoted, and when
the matter come* to a “showdown” It
Is believed that the resolution will be
almost unanimously adopted.
Chiefs Want Long Term.
Chief J. L. Beavers of the police de
partment also expresses himself In fa
vor of-a longer term for tigers, declar
ing that the 30-day term has proven
absolutely Ineffective.
Most of the liquor sellers caught by
police and detectives and arraigned In
police court are said ’ to be merely
agents-for a wholesale dealer. When
ever one of these agents falls Into the
tolls, according to the Information ob
tained by Chief Lanford, the employer
pays the fine. If a fine Is Imposed, and
In the evqnt a term of 30 days straight,
without a fine. Is Imposed, pays the
convicted agent a stated salary for
every one of the 30 days he works for
the city. This loyaltv prevents the
agent from squealing on “the man high
er up.” It also has the effect of Imbu
ing him with that “don’t care” spirit
that makes him bolder in the sale of his
liquid wares. As a result, he sells more
liquor, even tho he may finally be
caught.
Wholesaler Pays the Bills.
And then If he Is convicted and re
ceive* the customary 30-day term, his
case 1* appealed thru the higher courts
end he Is let out on bond. This all

The Fulton county divorce court hex
ceased to bear tho dignity of the name.
It has become a mill, and the Judges
assiduous millers, ono and all. In splto
of themselves and their protests.
During the year that Is passing—old
1911—Just 392 divorce petitions were
filed In the Fulton county si|pevlnr
court—more than one for every day.
These were petitions f-,r total divorce,
not suits of separation, for alimony or
hang-overs for the removal of disabili
ties.
About once a month throughout the
year tho Judge of the third division of
superior court, which ts .known os the
"motion bench,” takes a hack at di
vorces, anil during 1911 485 first and
second verdicts and 238 decrees were
granted.
238 Divorces Granted.
The last are the real figures. They
might be pasted in tho hats of the
prenchers that.inveigh against divorce.
During the year 238- divorces were
granted In Fulton county.
Alimony suits were many, and dis
ability removal petitions were numer
ous, but tho plain, unvarnished tale of
divorce, as told by tho evidence of Ful
ton county 1 records. Is worth perusal.
Of course many of tho second ver
dicts granted were from suits that
lapsed over from 1910. and that Is why
thero are more verdicts, both first and
secrind combined, than petitions filed;
In fact, some of the petitions nro dis
missed end now and then tho warring
pairs get' together, kiss and make up.
and tho suit Is withdrawn. Most of tin-
petitions, however, went to the grim
and disgusted Judges.
'is Monthly Calendar.
The
By months tho divorce petitions were
filed In the following manner; Jan
uary 31, February 47, March 34. April
45, May 23. June 34, July 35, August
32, September 26, • October 43, Novem
ber 21, and December (up until De
cember 20) 19, making a total of 392.
May, which Is a marriage month—
31 days of brides and roses and things
—Is tho lightest of the year, for De
cember, when completed, will top tho
May figures.
Divorces were granted In tho follow
ing manner during the court terms:
January 31, March 47, May 30, July 41,
September 42 and November 39. Tli<>
May term was the lightest, showing
that the glamour of matrimony even af
fects tho courts. Tho above figures
are second verdict* or decrees.
The Undafendad Divorce.
The majority of the decrees are
granted aa a result of a clever littlo
institution known to the legal world as
tho "Undefended divorce." nnd- It la
against this law which the Judges of
the superior court have set their hand.
Because of the "undefended divorce-
the motion court on tho days these
things are up becomes a romping match
In which tho Jury earns its money In
leg-work alone from tho box to th-
consultation room and back to repeat
the performance. In the- "undefended
divorce.”, service on tho petition may
be made by publication, and a woman
living In Atlanta may suo her husband
living In Richmond, and get a dtvon »
before the husband knows he Is sued,
unless he, reads the Atlanta news
papers and happens to discover a l,ittle
printed notice tucked away in some
out-of-the-way corner.
Judge W. D. Ellis, of the Fulton su
perior bench, Is especially bitter against
this practice, and even went as far as
to urge a change In the la,w at the last
session of the legislature.
A bill was Introduced, but foiled of
passage.
Mayor Suggests That-the New
Boys Building Be Erected

The proposition to move the Bins
High school to Piedmont park will be
brought up at the special meeting of

will be to have council set aside ten

plan will be worked out later. But. led
