SIB GEDHGIA RAILROAD STRIKEONIHISEVENING SIG IIE-Bf IS 111 SHI Order Is Issued by O. R. C. and B. R. T. Heads for 300 Conductors and Trainman to Walk Out at That Hour.| As Gl STA, GA.. Oct. I.—At 6:30 o clock. Eastern time, tonight., 3(H) conductors and trainmen, including baggageniasters. flagmen i imd yard crews, of the Georgia railroad will go on strike. The strike' order was issued shortly before noon today by Vice President T. A. I Gregg. of the Order of Railway Conductors, and Vice President -lames i Murdock, of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who arc in j charge of the situation on the Georgia road for their respective or- | ganizations. They are working in concert. Efforts to bring about an adjustment of differences failed early) today. Superintendent W. S. Brand, ot the Georgia road, this afternoon I admitted that the strike may tie up the entire Georgia system. The strike is directly the result of the dismissal of Conductor J. T. Paschal, of Atlanta, for viola tion of the sixteen-hour continu ous service law. When officials of the road had refused Io reinstate him. a strike ballot was ordered and the employees voted by an overwhelming majority to walk out. Since the counting of the strike bal -t -as ended yesterday and the result made known to General Manager Scott by officials of the union, efforts ad been made to bring about peace. ' onference, ''ailed yesterday after noon between officials of the road and tbn unions, ended at 1 o'clock this morning without accomplishing any ■! tig.

BRUCE BROWN. RICH AUTO RACER. DYING; WRECKED SPEEDING) MII.WAPKEE, WIS. Oct; 1. David Rcuee-Brown, the millionaire automo bile driver, was fatally hurt in a trial -ace over the Wauwatosa Vanderbilt eup course this afternoon. Brut e-Bro wti’s mechanician, Tony Scudelari. was also fatally injured. While tearing around the dangerous country roads that form the course at a speed of .82 miles an bout , Bruce- Broivn and his mechanician were thrown many feet into an adjoining field. Both were unconscious when assist ance reached them and both were in jured about the bead and internally. They were hurried to Trinity hos pital in Milwaukee in an ambulance. Sensations and thrills marked the first real try-outs of the course over which the Vanderbilt, Grand Prix and other automobile classics are to be run tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday. Tetzlaff in a Fiat car covered the course, which is 8.215 miles, in six min utes and sixteen seconds, a little better than 80 miles an hour. The spectators were given a thrill when Caleb Bragg in his big Grand Prix shot down the stretch at a clip somewhere around 90 miles an hour and threw off about two ya:ds of tire, which shot 1,000 feet Into the air. George Clark had a narrow escape from death when he skidded on the back stretch. POLITICAL PRINCIPLES WRITTEN IN SECRET BY A WOMAN JUSTICE EVANSTON, ILL., Oct. I,—Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, suffrage leader and justice of the peace, wrote a declaration of her political principles as a member of the Progressive party on the fly leaf of her Bible while in her class at the First Congregational church Sunday school. Here is her code: No party owns me. I need not choos>; between evils. I will vole for the best man. Personal profit or personal re sentment shall not control my vote. I have only one vote, and I should use it as though my one vote de cided each question. At the last judgment I must stand alone, and I can, if I must, stand alone on election day.

FORECASTS UTE ANO MILD WINTER _ --r Killing Frost Not Due Until Late in November- Good News ♦ for Planters. A late and moderately mild winter — that is the prediction ot Weather Man Von Herrmann, and if bis prediction comes true the farmers <*f Georgia will be more than $1,000,000 better off. for on a late winter depends the salvation of a great part of the cotton crop of the state. The weather man bases his predic tion on the fact that the earth in the South is unusually warm just now, be cause of the abnormal warm spell ex perienced during the early days ot September, and this condition, he said, will stave off incipient frosts and much cold weather until the earth is all co* tied. "Winter will be at leaat three week? later than usual." said he this after noon, “an<l even then I do not think that it will be severe. We have had an unusually* long period of severe win ters. and, according to the laws of av erage this \ill be moderate. Last win ter was 12 degrees below the average in temperature, while the winter before was 5 degrees, and that Just preced ing 4 degrees below. It usually evens up in two or three years, so I ex pect it will be mild this winter. “I expect the first frost will come about November 1. as the average frost arrives October 17. but I don’t believe any killing frost will arrive until about the latter part of November.” The cotton crop of the state owing to the rain.v spring, is more than two weeks behind, and if the forecaster is correct the salvation of much of the crop will be effected. Every farmer in the state is vastly worried just now, and his forecast will be welcomed by them all. POWER MAN JAILED IN BLACKMAIL PLOT ON WEALTHY WIDOW SPARTANBURG. S. C„ Oct. 1— Frank 1.

Court Records Show Greatly Improved Condition Since Closing of Tenderloin. Offering the court records of the last i 24 hours as an indication of improving i conditions, Chief of Police Beavers to- I day predicted a big drop in criminal • cases in Atlanta as a result of his ex i termination of the tenderloin. ' The records showed that from mid night until 8:30 today there was not a case made in police court, a very un- . usual condition. For the eight hours preceding tiiat only four cases wen made —one of those by the sanitary of , fleer. "The vice wc have wiped out,” said Chief Bea'ers today, "was the sour* * I of much oilier c-ime in Atlanta. Are markable reduction already is appar ent and a greater slump is certain."
