Stanley Comes Back at Roosevelt HENDERSON KY . Sept. 2. Cono nel Roosevelt is spending much of his time denouncing the recommenda tion of a committee which he charac terizes as 'mere sound and fury. said Congressman A. O. Stanley, chairman of the committee investigating the t’nited States Steel 'Corporation here, In answer to the strictures of Colonel Roosevelt in his recent speech at St. Johnsbury. Vt. Congressman Stan ley's statement continues "Ordinarily a candidate for presi dent and a former president could be expected to find some subject of 'pith and moment' to occupy his valuable time and that of his auditors. But the colonel is unique, as he knows the great value of sound and fury.' They have been ills principal assets during more than a decade of public service and ‘sound and fury'—more fury and leas sound, and his voice grows hoarser and chances slimmer have character ized his last furious political fiasco, stampede of the stall-fed bull moosq. lately the property of the steel trust, now exhibited by his devoted manager and munificent provider, one George W. Perkins, of New York. What a Pity! Saya Stanley, "Says Colonel Roosevelt, 'the anti trust law by Itself can tp-ver in any shape or way solve the problem of dealing with the trusts ' •|f the Sherman anti-trust law had been a complete and all-sufficient rem edy. the Stanley committee would nev er have proposed to amend it. What a pity the colonel did not discover there wus no value tn the Sherman act when he was president and when his attorneys general brought repealed suits under it to dissolve the trusts and his allies with 'much sound and fury' proclaimed to the country that by this means they were going to punch all the ma efnetors of great wealth who were not 'friendly' or sufficiently lib eral. "During his entire incumbency in of five Roosevelt never advocated but one amendment to the Sherman act. the no torious Hepburn bill, and this bill was actually written, every word and every line of it. by E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United Stales St, el Corporation and by Victot Morawet- tfnd Francis Lynde Stetson, its attorneys. Will Keep Trust Heeds Busy.

Council's special committee on the t reorganization of the chief of construc , tion department completed its report al a meeting today. It will recommend a new system for the department at the meeting of council tomorrow afternoon. 1 A subcommittee composed of C. C. 1 Mason, S. A. Wardlaw and Harvey i Hatcher called on Chief of Construc tion R. M; Clayton and asked him if he would accept a position as city consult ing engineer. Captain Clayton said he would wait to see what sort of consult ing engineer’s place council created and what changes were made in the chief of construction department, lie said he would then decide whether to run for chief of construction or accept Hie place of consulting engineer. In view of that reply, the committee decided not to recommend that a per manent position of consulting engineer be created. Dr. Rudolph Hering is now consulting engineer to advise as to the bond issue Improvements. But mem bers of council have announced that : this office will be discontinued on Oc -1 tober 1. ’ Urge Hancock's Candidacy. > Since the committee decided at its 1 last meeting to recommend the elimi nation of the qualification that a man shall have had ten years' experience as i engineer before being eligible as a can didate before the people for chief of construction, it was reported today a 1 movement had been begun by a number of citizens to get W A. Hancock, for ' nter alderman from the Seventh ward. 1 to run for chief of construction. Mr. ' Hancock is manager of the South River Brick Company. The committee decided the chief of construction should have an assistant in charge of the details of the office, an engineer in charge of streets and an engineer in charge of sewers, and that the appointment of these assist ants should be approved by council and that council should have the authority to remove them at any time. The chief of construction now has four assistants, one in charge of streets, , | one in charge of sewers. one in charge of sidewalks and one in charge of street ■ repairs. The chief of construction has general supervision over them all and h< has absoltfte authority as to appoint ments and removals.

Councilman Wardlayv made a sugges tion that there should be some one in the chief of construction's office during all office hours who could give general information to the public. He said un less Captain Clayton was in the office Ihe couldn't get any information about things. The other members of the com mittee agreed with him, say ing that the new assistant to the chief of construc tion would be the man to meet the pub lic in the construction office. Councilman Hatcher, chairman of the council streets committee and who has protested thut there was no general complaint against Atlanta's streets, in sisted that no changes were needed in ilte chief of construction department. He said that all the members of the committee knew Captain Clayton would j b- n elected. ODD EDIES THIEF IN NIKE'S ROM ■ Tobacco King Awakes When He Hears Bark and Finds Burglar at Work. NEW YORK.
