Atlantans are familiar with the gold coinage of their country, to judge from the flood of answers which piled in within an hour after the Krazy Kat Kwestion in yesterday's first edition of The Georgian leached readers in the street. There were many who puzzled over the problem of the soda clerk and said it "couldn’t be done.” but a lot of them got the answer after a few mo ments’ hard thinking. The question was: How could the soda jerker who had sold a live-cent diink make change for a five-dollar bill when he couldn’t make change for a one? Why, he took the five, gave the; customer a $2.50 gold piece, a two-dol lar bill and 45 cents in silver. Here are some of the first to answer the problem correctly: Editor of The Atlanta Journal.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—That the "dissolution" of the Standard Oil Com pany, was a farce and will be proved such was the declaration made today by Samuel I'ntermeyer, counsel for the Waters-Pierce Oil Company defend ant in a suit brought to force it to recognize as directors three men elect ed last February and rejected from the board on the claim that they were rep resentatives of the old Standard Oil Company, who sought by such a meth od to regain control of the company. "We have subpenaed over thirty wit nesses and before we have finished with them we expect to show that the so called dissolution of the Standard Oil Company as ordered by the courts was a dissolution in name only.” asserted Mr. Untermeydr. About tin witnesses had testified when the hearirig was resumed today. All of them arc, or were, former em ployees of the Standard Oil or its sub sidia lies. In nearly every case they have shown a detian< <» to the Instructions of Com missioner Jacobs when told to answer questions, the correct replies to which, the attorney said, would go a long way to prove that the dissolution was a farce. Change Only in Directors. tine of the acts brought out at the hearing so far is that when the order for dissolution came the only real change was the resignation of three or four of the old directors from each of the subsidiaries and the filling of their plates with minor employees of the company, recruit* tl from tin shops, tlx sal* - * departments or the general office.

WILSON joim/s ANANIAS GLOB Not a Particle of Truth in Op ponent's Statements on the Trusts, Says Colonel. DENIES GARY AND PERKINS MOOSE PROGRAM AUTHORS “If Candidate Really Knew Whereof He Spoke Words Would Be Inexcusable.” TRINIDAD, COLO., Sept. 19.—1 n a sizzling speech hera today Colonel Roosevelt hammered back at Governor Woodrow Wilson for his attack on tilt Progressive platform at Sioux Falls, in which the governor charged that it played into the hands of the steel and harvester trusts. The ex-president angrily asserted that the two trusts are supporting Mr. Wilson and that the Democratic and Republican platforms rather than that of the Progressives cater to the crooked corporations. “Mr. Wilson should be above rpis stating facts in order to bolster up his arguments. Mr. Wilson has an entire right to defend his own platform if he feels bold enough to do so, and an en tile right to assail the Progressive platform, but he should confine himself to telling the facts as they are,” said Roosevelt. "In his speech yesterday he stated that the method now proposed by the. Progressives to regulate the trusts was suggested by Messrs. Gary and Perkins before the committee of the house of representatives to look into the steel trust. And he suggested that it was done to save the United States Steel ('otporation from the necessity of do ing its business better than its com petitors. “Not a Particle of Truth in Statement.’’ "Ni ither of these statements is in accordance with the facts and five min utes’ inquiry on Mr. Wilson's part would have taught him that there was not one particle of foundation for the truth of what he was saying. “Not once only, but again and again, in messages to congress and in speech after speech, when I was president. 1 advocated the methods advocated by the Prog:esslves for handling the trust question, which is practically to apply the principle applied in the Interstate commerce act. "I wish to call attention at this time to the fact that as far as I know the overwhelming majority of the men who controlled both the Steel Corporation and the Harvester trust are supporting either Mr. Wilson himself or Mr. Taft They are certainly opposing, me. "Indeed, as far as I know, the only man connected with either organiza tion who is supporting me Is Mr. Pf kin- himself. Everywhere I went in Minnesota and North Dakota I was informed that the Harvester trust was supporting Mr. Wilson, and the Steel Corporation, so far as the marly unani mous majority of its people are con cerned. is supporting eithet Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson. Taft and Wilson Alike on Trusts. “I haven't the slightest criticism to make of either the Harvester trust or the Steel question that they are sincere in sup porting Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson, but I also wish to point out that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Taft occupy substantially the same attitude toward the trusts and this attitude is of such proved harm lessness that I am not In the least sur prised that any trust which objects to honest and effective regulation should support either or both of them indiffer ently as against me. "The only result that could possibly follow from any action of the kind heretofore advocated by Mr. Wilson as regards either the Steel trust corpora tion or the Harvester trust would be to put them just where the Standard Oil trust and the tobacco trust have al ready been put by following out the very policy he indicates. "Such being the ease, I do not won der that all four trusts confine their opposition to the Progressive party and to me and are seemingly entirely will ing to have either Mr. Wilson or Mr Taft come Into power.” “If Wilson Really Knew He Would Be Inexcusable.” Continuing. Mr. Roosevelt said: ".Mr Wilson further said that umle. the Progressive plan the corporation* would control the market for labor an l stat< s that the only chance for lubot Is In competition. If Mr Wilson wen a man with .< petsvnal and wui'king
