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. After this conference the rail
road officials issued this statement:

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

! 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."
The restricted district was dark
( again last night. Few of Its form* i
tenants remain. The police kept elo.-<
watch and theie is little probability
that any attempt to violate the ban wi'l
be made.
