MISTAKE POLICE FORBURGLAHS Patrol Twice Called by Excited Citizens Only to Find Fel- low Officers. Policemen came near being arrested as burglars in two different instances with in The past two nights, as the result of calls to the police station by excited citi zens, who mistook the officers for prowl , Ing marauders. H hen two plain clothes officers at an e«iT l \ hour today tried the door of a store at Pine and Hunt streets, a drowsy neighbor near by peered out of his win dow, saw the two suspicious looking men, and quickly telephoned the police station. Call Officers Anderson and McWilliams were on the scene in a jiffy, finding their fellow officers standing in front of the. store. I guess you’re on the Job, all right, so we won’t take you down this time,” said Mc\\ illiams as he and Anderson rode away. The morning previous Cycle Policemen Garner and Jeff ares found a mule among a lot of boxes next to a store at Grant street and Milledge avenue and were driving it out when some one near by was aroused by the noise, and called the sta tion, announcing that burglars were try ing to get in the store. Anderson and McWilliams sped to the store on motorcycles, were confronted by -the two supposed burglars, aided them in getting the, mule out of the lot and returned to the station.

VZ Fourth Notional Banl Building C \VW / n STEAMSHIP COMPANY Hurt and Healy Off to Good Start SKYSCRAPER RACE IS ON They’re off in the skyscraper steeple chase. 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 first 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 new member in the skyscraper club. Then next year about the same time a new cub would go get the same story. He didn’t see Mr. Hurt, who wasn't in, but he got the information from "the office.” But Mr. Healy’s building operations were carried on with no more conceal ment that that offered by a high board fence. True, Mr. Healy was reticent almost to a fault; true, he preferred to abide by his works and not by his words; certafnly, he was never guilty of deceiving trusting reporters by fill ing their brains with fantasies. But he COAST LINE AGREES TO $400,000 TAX INCREASE The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, the last of Georgia’s service corporations to report satisfactory tax returns for 1912, has informed the comptroller general that it would ac cede to $409,000 increase fixed by the state. The increase is on the $14,257,221 re turns of 1911, bringing the railroad's taxable valuations for 1912 up to $14.- 657.221. The returns originally reported by the railroad were $13,562,200. FUGITIVE HIDES IN SWAMP. MACON, GA Aug 14.—Hiding in the swamp a few miles below Macon, Jackj 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. 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 Aty 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 lap, for the Hurt theater actually was %uilt. It wasn't the tall 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 irf 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 tn the sum of SIO,OOO for refusing hint 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 fpr a few dayc, then discharged because he had no letter from his former employers. He charges that failure tn obtain the tetter caused him to be blacklisted in railroad cir cles. VETERAN RAILROADER DI d. LOUISVILLE. KY, Aug. 14—Joseph M.

TROST RIME HAD CURIOUS MISHAPS Crowbars in Wheels and Mo lasses in Boilers Hindered Independent Refiner. DENVER. COLO., Aug. 14.—Letters and telegrams indicating that H. O. Havemeyer. head of the American Su gar Refining Company, had been the controlling factor in the beet sugar in dustry in Colorado, were introduced to day in 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, he said, had been poured into his boilers, and crowbars had been placed in the machinery. The first of the telegrams was one from Havemeyer, addressed to Chester S. Morey, head of the Great Western Sugar Company, which said: “Can not pay more than $4.50 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. An other letter, written in 1903 by Morey, says: “You will never get the interests of northern Colorado in proper shape to handle acreage and labor 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 elected. 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., Aug 14.—Shortly after he had pushed a wheelbarrow filled with sand around his back yard, Captain W. P. Simpson, president of the Exchange bank and Simpson (Grocery company, died at hfs home here from a bursted blood ves sel near his heart.

EVERGLADE PROBERS ABSOLVE WILSON, BUT RAP ASSISTANT HAYS WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The opera tions of Assistant Secretary Hays, of the department of agriculture, in North Caro lina, with J. O. 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. * Secretary Wilson is not condemned for the Florida Everglades affair, in which it was charged that land agents had used their influence at the department to pre vent publication of official reports unfa vorable to the land projeqf. Loose management is charged against the department, however, in that connec tion. Elliott and two employees of the department who were discharged on technical grounds after publication of the Everglades charges and who have since been indicted, are left to the courts. Representative Sloan Is preparing a supplemental report in which he expects to defend the administration of the de partment. Both reports will be submitted to the house this week.
