William Healy announced this week he\ was ready to start work on his office building in Forsyth street. Joel Hurt announced his long-project ed Edgewood avenue structure a week ago. Betting is even on the finish. In fact, several bunches of. loose money have been placed in the future books for several years, ever since the negro stuck the first pick in the Healy property and the eighteenth reporter published the ninety-seventh story that Joel Hurt was about to put up that building. Always in “a Short Time." For these many years the principal occupation of city editors on dull days was to send the cub reporter to learn from Joel Hurt just when that office building would be started. The cub in > variably came back with the facts, which were these: That the plans were being drawn, the property was about to be cleared and within a “short time” Atlanta’ would have a hew member in ! the skyscraper clhb. Then next year ; about the same time a new cub would go get the same story.* He see ‘ Mr. Hurt, who wasn’t in, but he got the 1 information from “the office.” But Mr. Healy’s building operations were carried on with no more conceal , ment that that offered by a high MSard fence. True, .Mr. Healy was reticent i almost to a fault; true, he preferred to I abide by his works and not by his Words; certainly, he was never guilty of deceiving trusting reporters by fill ing their brains with fantasies. But he i COAST LINE AGREES TO $400,000 TAX INCREASE The.

FUGITIVE HIDES IN SWAMP. MACON, GA Aug 14.—Hiding in the swamp a few miles pelow Macon. Jack Cleveland, a negro, wanted in Houston county for burglary, is defy ing arrest. Tracked to the Ocmulgee swamp by bloodhounds, he was,almost overtaken, and only succeeded in es caping by twice emptying his pistol and firing his gun several times at the offi cers. THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY. AVGUST 14. 1912 assuredly was going to build something, and there was the hole to prove it. It began when the old structures were cleared from the lot and one negro and a mule began delving in the top sur face of tomato cans and paving stones. After a while the_ negro struck soft earth and worked faster. Soon the hole was big enough to bury a dog in. After a while you couldn’t see the mule's back without leaning over the fence. Hole One of City’s Sights. The hole became one of the sights of the city. Visitors came from far countries to look into its yawning depths and place bets on whether the miners would strike coal or oil. The pile of rock which occupied one corner was moved again and again that the earth beneath might be torn out and hauled to the surface. The”city grant ed Mr. Healy an extension of time for laying a sidewalk there, on the plea that a towering structure would soon go up. But instead of going up, the workmen kept going down. Mr. Healy undoubtedly has the finest basement in Atlanta, even if he never builds any thing over it. Mr. Hurt beat Mr. Healy in the first '.ap. for the Hurt theater actually was built. It wasn’t the>ta!l building At lanta expected, but It proved that Mr. Hurt really did plan the rejuvenation of Edgewood avenue. Mr. Hurt has always felt a deep interest in this sec tion and its upbuilding, even discarding the sordid reason that he owns most of it. He has labored to bring business that way, even as Asa G. Candler has striven for the upbuilding of the north side. And he is going to have a big building there if he has to build it him self. SUES RAILWAY WHICH DIDN’T RECOMMEND HIM W. M. Savage, formerly a brakeman of the Seaboard Air Line, says the company is indebted to him in the sum of SIO,OOO for refusing him a letter of recommendation when he quit its serv ice. Savage asserts, in a suit filed in the city court today, that he was later em ployed by the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic Company for a few days, then discharged because he had no letter frpm bis former employers. He charges that failure to obtain the letter caused him .to he blacklisted in railroad cir cles. VETERAN RAILROADER DI t>. LOUISVILLE. KY. Aug. 14.—Josefil M. Ryan.

TRUST RIME MO CURIOUS MISHAPS Crowbars in Wheels and Mo lasses in Boilers Hindered Independent Refiner. DENVER. COLO., Aug 14. Leiters and telegrams indicating that H. O. Havemeyer, head of the American Su gar Refining Company, had been tin controlling factor in the beet sugar in dustry in Colorado, were introduced to day 1n the government's inquiry to dis solve the Sugar trust. To relieve the monotony of the documentary evidence C. H. Keyes, of Denver, who operated a small Independent factory, told of the strange mishaps that had befallen his machinery during the time the trust was seeking control in the Western states. Molasses, ire said, had been poured into his boilers, and crowbars had been placed in the machinery. 'I he first of tfte telegrams was one from Havemeyer, addressed to Chester S. Morey, head of the Great Western Sugar Company, which said: “Can not pay more than $4,511 for beets.” It was dated February 16. 1903. An answer in a letter written by Mo- | rey assured Havemeyer that he agreed : heartily regarding this price limit In other letter, written in 1903 by Morey, says: “You will never get the interests of I northern Colorad" in proper shape to handle acreage and l:il»<>r until all hands are in one company.” Another letter told Havemeyer that if he wished to suggest any new names for the directo rate of the Great Western Sugar Com pany certain directors would willingly step aside to allow the Havemeyer can didates to be elect, d. It had been tes tified In New York that Havemeyer had nothing to do with the Great Western! concern. STRENUOUS EXERCISE CAUSES SUDDEN DEATH ROME. GA..

Wright, a former depart ment employee, are criticised in a report of the Moss committee which investigated the Florida Everglades and other affairs The report just made public hints that impeachment proceedings were narrowly escaped.
