■ STANLEY ASSAILS i
T.R.WEMS
Chairman of Steel Probers Tells
How Aid Was Given This
Trust.
I
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Theodore!
Roosevelt, George W. Perkins of Har
vester trust Jame and the Federal bu
reau of corporations were jointly as
sailed by Chairman Stanley, of the
steel investigating committee, in
the house for aiding in the protection
of the United States Steel Corporation
and accepting any means to prevent
the power of this monopoly from being
lessened
"The government by commissions as
conducted by the bureau of corpora
tions,” said Mr. Stanley, "Is more than
pleasing to the interests and they are
today more enthusiastic than ever in
their advocacy of an extension of the
same. For several years the chief in
termediary between big business and
those intrusted by the government with
the duty of investigating has been a
gentleman by the name of George W.
Perkins. To pry into the secrets of the
bureau and to keep the Interests most
concerned advised as to the progress of
the assumably secret inspection, was
the task for which Mr. Perkins Showed
r his peculiar fitness.”
Describing the manner in which a
$50,000 donation was given Mr. Roose
velt by George W. Perkins, Mr. Stanley
said:
‘‘Pocketed Insurance Money.”
“Mr. Perkins gave his personal check
to Mr. Bliss and was reimbursed by a
check of the New York Life Insurance
Company, payable to .1. P. Morgan &
Co. The proceeds of this check were
traced to the pocketbook of Mr. Per
kins and for this eminent service he
was arrested under a warrant charg
ing him with grand larceny. As Chief
Justice Cullen, who tried the case,
says, Perkins knew' that this money
was drawn from a life insurance policy
without the policy holder’s consent.
“This man (Perkins) escaped the
prison cell by the skin of his teeth for
having picked the pocket of a shroud
for the use and benefit of the Republi
can party.”
Referring to the assimilation of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company dur
ing Roosevelt’s administration, the
speaker continued:
"The severest critic of Roosevelt can
scarcely conceive that he would in
twenty minutes have commissioned the
Steel Corporation to squash its last
competitor. Had he possessed one
tenth of the information which the
commissioner of corporations after
ward admitted having, he probably
never would been guilty of this act.”
AT THE THEATERS
FORSYTH BILL PLEASES
BIG AUDIENCES DAILY
Vaudeville at the Forsyth this week
is up to the standard. That means that
the bill is of that quality that attracts
and the result is plain, for the theater
has been crowded to its limit of ca
pacity at six performances, and the box
office men have been constantly busy
serving patrons who are making ad
vance reservations for the six remain
ing performances.
The seven acts represent the best
class of vaudeville that is possible right
now to secure. There are acts that
command the highest salaries paid to
theatrical people, and that blend per
fectly. making an entertainment that is
worth time and money.
I Gertrude Vanderbilt, with the help of
George Moore, has scored the biggest
hit any headline feature has ever reg
istered at the busy theater. The pretty
singing and dancing comedienne has
’ eclipsed all the success that has been
registered by comediennes at the For
syth. and is about the most popular lit
tle entertainer now known to Atlanta
theatergoers.
Sydnly Drew and Company, present
ing Jack Futrelle’s playlet, "The Model
Young Man,” also score well and win
curtain calls, and the Three Lyres,
clever musicians and comedians, win
hearty favor.
Willie Weston, the entertainer direct
from the New’ York Winter Garden,
and other splendid acts make the bill
all that the advance notices and critics
claim for it.
Popular vaudeville is to be Introduced
at the Forsyth next week. There will
be five Keith acts at every perform
ance, helped along with a selection of
splendid motion pictures. There will be
daily matinees and two performances
each night. This policy has been in
dorsed by the best class of people in
, Richmond. Norfolk, Nashville, Savan
nah and Birmingham, and Atlanta will
have the same service, commencing
Monday.
ATLANTA'S MAIL SYSTEM
GOOD AS 4NY. SAYS HART
Irwin G. Hart, superintendent of
mails, is back from his vacation. He
spent part of the time looking through
the systems used in the large postofllces
of the North and East, gathering ideas
for local use.
"Atlanta, however, is just about equal
to any of them,” he said. ’T'm not
ashamed to compare this city’s meth
ods and speed in handling mail with
any I saw in the North."

FIERCE FIGHTON OLYMPIC
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—1 t was an ex
cited and garrulous throng of passen
gers that poured down the gang plank
when the White Star liner Olympic ar
rived here today one day late. They
were still discussing an exciting battle
over a varfi game that occurred when
three days out of Queenstowm. It arose
out of charges that one of the first
cabin passengers was a professional
gambler. H. C. Alder, an American
now residing in Paris, had been invited
to take a hand at poker with T. L. Cur
tis. an Oregon lumber dealer, and sev
eral of Curtis’ friends. Alder lost con
siderable money and later he was re
ported to have said that Curtis, who
had been the heaviest winner, was “not
on the square" as a poker player.
Knocked Accuser Down.
This report reached Curtis and he
started In search of Alder, whom he
found in the saloon.
”1 don’t like what you’ve been saying
about me,” he said. Then he knocked
Alder down.
Alder struggled to his feet, swung
wildly at his assailant and the two
men clinched, each striving without

markets of Rome are receiving and
selling beef refused by Atlanta and
Chattanooga is the charge of W. H.

The screams of women passengers
brought what is known on the Olympic
as the “strong arm squad" of stewards,
whose duty it is to interfere in such
impromptu encounters.
Alder and Curtis both seemed to re
sent the interference of the stewards
and ceasing their efforts to maul each
ether, made common cause against the
peacemakers. Before they were over

“There is one thousand dollars in

one took the bet. Alder afterward ad
mitted that he had no proof of his
charge that Curtis had cheated.
Marc Klaw, who returned on the
Olympic, said the fight between Alder
and Curtis was a hot one "from a dra

REBELS MCE
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Zapatists Defeat the Federal
Troops—Terrible Tales of
Tprture Are Told.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 15.—Mexican
rebels today are menacing Mexico City
itself. Reports reaching the capital
state that federal* stationed at half a
dozen different plants ih states a.<l
joining this have been defeated by in
surrectos in the past 48 hours.
Tenancingo, which contained the
largest federal garrison in the state of
Mexico outside of this city, has fallen
before a Zapatist attack.
A rebel force of 6,000 to 7,000 men is
operating about Toluca, 36 miles from
this city, and Tenancingo, which i; 15
miles from Toluca. They are inflicting
horrible barbarities upon all who re
fuse to join them. Insurrecto leaders
have offered rewards to their followers
in ordet to devise new forms of tor
ture. Lashing, burning and mutilation
have ceased to satisfy the brutal sol
diers in their thirst for vengeance upon
all who will not enlist under the Zap
atist flag.
Terrible Tortures Reported.
At Ixtapan five men had their tongues
cut out because they refused to take
arms. These tortures are being in-,
dieted by troops which are operating
from 50 to 100 miles from this city.
Inspired by fear, hundreds of farmers
and ranch employees are Hoi king to the
rebel ranks.
The garrison has been drained of
every available soldier. In consequence
but a few troops have been left to de
fend the city and it is feared that if a
surprise attack should be made by a
big insurgent force supported by artil
lery Mexico City would fall into, the
hands of the rebels.
