JAILBEEFTRUST MS-WINE Jersey Senator Says People Will Not Stand Another Such Chicago Fiasco. By JAMES E. MARTINE, United States Senator from New Jersey WASHINGTON, June 14. —The power of the Beef Trust, acquired through years of contact, corrupt or otherwise,, with public officials is alone re sponsible for the recent fiasco in Chi cago, where a number of its officials escaped criminal prosecution. The whole affair was a miscarriage of justice. The temper of the American people will not swallow another af fair of this sort. I believe the Beef Trust is the most Iniquitous monopoly this country or any other country has ever seen. It strikes at the very existence of every man, woman and child from Maine to Texas and from Florida to Washing ton. It has acquired for Itself practi cally an absolute monopoly of one of the great food staples of the human race. Would Jail Officials. It works countless and undesirable hardships upon our people by its ex tortionate demands. If I could pro ceed to their prosecution Individually, 1 would have every official and each criminally associated employee behind prison bars. In this thought I express openly the Inner thoughts of thou sands of men in this country, repre senting all classes of the social order. The Steel Trust, the Tobacco Trust, the Standard Oil Company, the Har vester Trust and the Paper Trust are all bad enough—worse than those who molded the destinies of our nation could ever have anticipated. But none of them compare with the Beef Trust. It strikes at man’s existence. Food in this country should be within reach of every man’s pocketbook. The Beef Trust has the American people by the throat, both coming and going. It pays what It chooses to the producer of the meat animal' products. We have to take them at that price or do without. I speak feelingly in these matters. I have had bitter expe riences at both ends of the trust's business enterprise. “Let Each Move Be Aired." I am glad to see that Chairman Clay ton and his house judiciary committee have undertaken an Investigation. The capacity of the chairman and the per sonnel of the committee, in my opin ion. guarantee that this investigation will not prove the fruitless, inconse quential affairs that some other inves tigations have proved in the past.. Let each guilty act of this trust be aired that the people may know to the mjputest detail how they have been robbed. Public sentiment will forever prohibit a repetition of the offense. Let the conclusions be such that a success ful dissolution suit and successful crim inal prosecutions will quickly follow. If the investigation shows that the Sherman Anti-Trust law needs amend ment I shall be among the first to ad vocate enactment of such amendments. D. F. Tidwell. The funeral of D. F. Tidwell, 27 years old, who died late yesterday, was held this afternoon at the residence, 575 Lee street. Interment was in Westview at 2 o'clock.

BUEHL-MEADOR COMPANY 1 52-54 Peachtree Street—Cor. Walton l-_ HEEEZZZZ-- ■’ '=•■■■ n DELUGE IS CAUSE OF GREAT DAMAGE Reports from railroads and telephone companies, slowly coming in today, show last night’s rain deluge was by far the worst in point of damage and delay in the recent history of this part of Georgia. Washouts on the lines of the South ern and the Seaboard Air Line delayed mails from all directions, particularly from the North, and the mails from New York, Washington. Baltimore and intermediate towns were so badly tied up that they had not reached the At lanta postoffice at 10 o’clock. At the postoffice it was said that the New York mail Is not expected to arrive to day. In this city the torrents of rain so cluttered the tracks with mud and water that seven loaded trolley cars were off the track at one time and the schedules on several lines virtually were suspended from 8:30 until 11 p. m. At the company’s offices it was said today that none of the cars was over turned nor were any of the 300 or more passengers injured. All were greatly delayed and many got soaking wet in attempts to leave the stranded cars and reach their destinations afoot. Freight Train Nearly Wrecked. The cars derailed went off the tracks at these points: Corner of Ormond and Martin, Simpson and Vine, West Peachtree at Seventeenth street, De catur near Decatur, Irwin street two miles out. Juniper and North avenue, Juniper and Twelfth streets. Officials of the company declare that the wrecking crews succeeded in get ting the last of the stranded cars back on the tracks and in operation again before midnight. They say the damage done to their rolling stock was slight. At Floyd, Ga., fifteen miles from At lanta, on the route of the Seaboard Air Line to Birmingham, a trestle was washed away. A long freight train was stopped at the brink of the chasm, narrowly escaping plunging into the stream below. Another washout on the Seaboard at STRIKE RIOTERS TRY TO FIRE $10,000,000.00 PLANT; ONE KILLED PERTH AMBOY, N. J„ June 14.—One man was killed and two others wounded in a battle between strikers and deputy sheriffs at the plant of the American Smelting and Refining Company today. The dead man was a striker and the two wounded were also strikers. They were shot by the deputies, who fired to prevent the men from setting fire to the $10,000,000 plant of the smelting company. One hundred shots were exchanged early today in a strike riot at the works of the Barber Asphalt Company and the American Smelting and Refining Com pany, when a mob of 200 strike sympa thizers attacked the plants. Local officials are in constant communi cation with Governor Wilson, and a call for the militia is momentarily expected. FIRST EDITION WILCOX NEGRO LYNCHED FOR SHOOTING A FARMER ROCHELLE, GA., June 14. —Because he had shot and seriously wounded E. C. Ritchie, a prominent Wilcox county farmer, near here, a negro tenant was lynched by enraged neighbors of Ritchie's, after having been identified by the wounded man as his assailant. He was hanged to a tree and his body riddled with bullets. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, JUNE 14. 1912. Lilburn. 24 miles from Atlanta, held up trains for hours. Southern railroad officials said there had been no washout on their lines in Georgia, but they admitted that the route was pretty badly tied up by freshets that had inundated the tracks in North Carolina. They held these floods responsible for the delay of the Northern mail, and said they could not tell when the tracks would be cleared, and the schedule of trains resumed. Out on the Marietta road four miles from Atlanta the deluge especially was destructive. Dahl’s floral nursery there is one of the worst sufferers. Water flowed among the flowers in torrents and the flood grew so deep that nearly the whole nursery still was inundated this morning It is said that thousands of dollars in damage was done there alone. Dispatches from Marietta Indicate even a heavier rainfall there. For eight hours, without a lull, the water came down as from a cloudburst. Fences were washed away and great damage was done to the growing crops through out that district. Heavy Rainfall at Marietta. Both the Bell and Atlanta Telephone Companies report considerable damage. Many wires are down, and though at the Bell office it was said no estimate had yet been made of the broken phone connections, it was admitted that there are many useless phones in this district today. The Atlanta Com pany also admitted considerable trou ble. Both companies have their en tire force of repair men doing double duty today. The high wind which came with the cloudburst did considerable damage, to store and residence property in At lanta. Swift gusts of wind wrecked a S4OO plate glass window in the Guth man Company’s building on Peachtree street, near Houston. At about the same time the Pryor street entrance window In the Candler building crashed in, causing a loss of SIOO. Several other big window’s were blown in. and many signs went down.

SCHOOL REPAIRS TO COST 15,008 Inspector Hayes Finishes In vestigation and Will Report on His Findings Monday. Building Inspector Hayes told a Geor gian reporter today that, as a result of his Inspection, he would report that the twelve city bond issue schools were constructed as cheaply as possible, and that in addition to the repairs which could be required of the contractors, the city would be obliged to spend at least $5,000 to make them fit for use. He will report to the board of educa tion and the bond commission Monday. These bodies will call upon the con tractors to make repairs. The principal faults Mr. Hayes will report are: The water seeps through and under the walls, making the basements mus ty and unhealthy. Walls Ar* Leaky, The walls of most of the schools were built without furring, and the water leaks through the plastering, discolor ing it. Janitors have been using hose in washing floors, and the water has poured through into the rooms below.- There are no marquees over the doors, and water beats in during hard rains and then leaks thzough Into the basement. Most of the plastering is eracking on account of the shrinkage of the timbers, as well as on account of leaks. The plastering in the Walker Street school was improperly mixed.
