courts system Grand Jury Foreman Declares Many Criminals Escape Trial by Various Loopholes. That the county court system In At lanta is so cumbrous, so full of loop holes for delay, that a criminal may escape trial for years, was charged by Joseph A. McCord in his remarks be fore the city clve commission. Mr. Mc- Cord is foreman of the present grand jury, and has served on perhaps more grand juries in the past ten years than any other Atlantan. He was caustic in his attack on the system. "Men have told me that if they saw a negro stealing a horse and wagon they’d turn around and run rather than report him, and be dragged to court as a witness again and again,” declar ed Chairman McCord. "And I don't blame them Men and women are sum moned as witnesses: a lawyer is re ported ill, the defendant, out on bond, of course is unable to appear, or some one of a thousand reasons for delay is given and accepted. Witnesses lose day after day in these needless delays. "It is possible for an offender to ob tain delays for year after year, until finally the ease Is forgotten and drop ped. It is not the fault of Judge Calhoun. I am not censuring him. It Is the fault of the machinery of the courts—the system." Chairman McCord is working hard to get an amendment to the charter giv ing the city recorder the right to try “trifling" cases before a jury of five men, without the necessity of recourse to the state courts. The city will doubt less ask for a law covering the sub ject. City Attorney James L, Mayson believes it will be necessary to obtain the passage of a general law, appli cable to all cities of more than 50,000 or 100,000 population.

One learned man compiled a five foot library’ which has been much advertised and is deserving of praise in the field which it attempts to cover, but other learned men. aided by all the ingenuity which has revolutionized modern business methods under the di rection of system and efficiency engi neers, are generally believed to have eclipsed all other efforts in book con solidation by covering the field with a smaller work.

Dispatches from Brazil today an nounce that tremendous preparations! ire In progress for the formal opening, on July 4, of the wonderful new Ma rieria-Mamoera railroad, which, aftet having boon abandoned nearly 50 years, has been penetrated successfully through 250 miles of the densest jun gle land in the world by an Atlantan, trthur Burt Jekyll. The president of the republic, many ■fficials and several regiments of the army will be present to pay tribute t<* the triumph of Mr. Jekyll, and Mrs. Jekyll, his bride, will pull the throttle that starts the first train hound sea ward with an unprecedented shipment of rubber to American ports. A Soldier of Fortune. If ever there was a real, live, moving soldier of fortune Burt Jekyll is that soldier. He’s a member of the big contracting firm of May, Jekyll A- Ran dolph, of New York, and that firm has been doing nothing but digging holes in South America, building railroads and canals where there wasn't anything but jungle ’and swamps and snakes be fore for the past 20 years. Jekyll had just come home to see his sister at No. 674 Washington street five years ago, when he got a telegram from one of his partners about the Bra zilian government being about to make one last desperate attempt to put through the Madeira road and wanting to pay some tremendous price to any American engineer that thought the great task might, be possible. Jekyll knew that the Madeira route was designed to pass righi through the heart of the thickest South American jungle, so as to open up a stretch of pathless land to the immense rubber trade of Bolivia. He knew that 50 years ago, even before old Dom Pedro’s time, the American contracting firm of Collins Brothers, of Philadelphia, had tried to build that same road and had lost some couple of hundred men with fever and snakebite and had sunk a million dollars In that swamp with nothing to show for it but an aban doned five miles of weed grown track. A War on Mosquitoes. Jekyll’s partners told him that there wasn't a ghost of a chance in a million of building the remaining 250 miles of the line, but he said he'd take a look’ at it anyway and he went down to godforsaken land from Atlanta, look ed over the jungle and got deeper into its fastnesses than any man had ever gone before. Then he had a talk with Percival Farquhar, who was resident director of the $2(10,000 in English cap ital that had been subscribed to help the government put through the road. That talk resulted in a contract. Three months later Jekyll was again The Indian Players in HIAWATHA at Inman Park Daily at 4:00 and 8:30 o. m. (Sunday excepted).

II /w " flmßßsSMy Here are the latest pictures of Burt Jekyll, the Atlanta South American contractor, and Mrs. Jekyll, his bride of a year. upon the spot with 5.000 huskj- Amer ican railroad builders. He didn’t tackle the jungle right away, but he put his men to work killing off the mosquito descendants of the deadly brood that had slain the hundreds of Collins men, and he had built high-stilted, screened quarters and made the company head quarters as sanitary as his government confreres up in Panama. Then the ma. chinery came, and with saws and axes, snake guns and steam shovels that American band started again to cut away 250 Tniles of the toughest tangled jungle South America ever grew. Her Idea of a Honeymoon. Once, meanwhile he had gone to New York for some more machinery and while he was there on his hurried trip he met Miss Grace Bush, of Brooklyn, and asked her to marry him, and she said she would. ■ Well." said Jekyll, “I'd like awfully well to take you back with me to the Madeira country to see that railroad of ours finished up.” Miss Bu=h said that that was her idea of a honeymoon. And so the sol dier of fortune and the Brooklyn soci ety belle were married without more adieu and took a fruit steamer to Rio and then sailed up the 1.000 miles of Amazon, and rode on mules’ backs through Jekyll's rended jungle until they got to the terminal near the Bo livian frontier. A month after they arrived there the last rail was laid, one day last month, and byway of crown ing the honeymoon Jekyll called in all the Brazilian government men and the English capitalists and strung his 5.000 American workmen along the tracks and festooned the trains with Ameri can flags. A band played riotously and Mrs. Jekyl came forth all tn white and crowned her honeymoon by driving the last golden spike with a silver ham mer given by the President of Brazil. On July 4 Jekyll and his wife are going to be hero and heroine to the formal opening of the wonderful line. And all the gold lace of South America will bo around and the American's tri umph will be made complete when a train loaded with Bolivian rubber will start out amid much cheers and whis tling and gun cracks for the Brazilian ship that will be waiting on the Ama zon 250 miles away to bear the load across seas to the American market that Jekyll and his men have made possible. After that Mr. and Mrs. Jekyll are going to spend some more of their hon eymoon at the handsome residence of the sister of the soldier of fortune at 674 Washington street, Atlanta, STUDENTSUNDER Mil CHARGES Alabama Board Asks Arrest of Men Expelled From Atlanta College of Pharmacy.
