Strike Costs Road
$35,000 Per Day
AUGUSTA. GA., Oct. B.—With the
question of reinstating the men in the
Atlanta joint terminals as the only dif
ference remaining yet between the
Georgia railroad and its striking con
ductors and trainmen the seventh day
of the st' ike was entered upon today.
Not a train is moving on the Georgia,
except on the Washington branch, and
it is estimated conservatively that the
road Is losing $35,000 per day. This Is
the busiest season of the year and
thousands of bales : cott >n are being
kept away from the markets because
of the strike, while towns, along the
line of the road are suffering for want
of sufficient provisions. Superintendent
W. S Brand said today he had nothing
to give out Representatives of the
strikers have no statement to make.
They apparently are waiting to see
what Superintendent Brand and Gen
eral Manager T K Scott will do about
the Atlanta joint terminal men

was "no good." and the city did not
enforce its bonds, anyhow.
City Doesn’t Keep
Contractors to Terms.
The petitioners say the street can not
possibly be completed within the time
limit. It is evident that it will not be
finished this winter. They insist that
the past experience of the city in the
management of its constructive work
fully justified the statement of the con
tractor that his bond would not be en
forced.
“It has been for the past ten or fif
teen years almost the unbroken policy
of the city of Atlanta not to insist upon
the terms of its contracts being com
piled with, either with reference to ma
terial, completion within the stipulated
period of time or the enforcement of
any bond for the faltnful performance
of the work. Scarcely any public work,
if any at all, within the past ten years
has been completed In the manner and
way and time contracted for. Many of
the bonds taken are pure formalities,
and the bonds are not of sufficient
value to cause them to be kept. Sev
eral of the bonds have been lost by the
city, the sureties not notified, in com
pliance with the bond, of the default,”
says the petition.

Judge George C. Bell issued an order
requiring the city to appear on October
19 and show cause why an injunction
should not be granted.
Winn Would Force
Forfeiture of Bond.
"If the contractor for the North
Boulevard work does not complete it
within the time set by his contract, I
shall insist that his bond be forfeited
to the city, declared Mayor Courtland
S. Winn today. He had just been shown I
The Georgian with the story of the
citizens' suit.
If council adopts a resolution reliev- 1
ing the contracto.- of his bond liabill- I
ty, it must do it over my protest," he
continued. "The time has come when
we must see that this street work is
expedited, that the thoroughfares shall
not be left torn up and unfinished.
"I have been repeitedly urging on the
chief of construction that he see that
the paving of West Fourteenth street is I
completed at once, and I believe this |
soon will be done. I do not know of I
any contract work other than this and
the Boulevard job which is now un
finished. |
"As to Peachtree street, that is the I
county's work. The city is merely fur
nishing the materials for that. Rut I
have urged on the county commission
ers the need of more speedv work in
that street."
As to the failure of th? city to col
lect the forfeited bonds of contractors,
the contention of the suit Is correct.
The Georgian published more than a I
year ago a long list of contracts which !
ha.i been violated through failure to
complete tlie work in specified time, I
and in hardly one instance had the city
forfeited the bond. In many Instances I
the contractors were given double the |
time originally set for completing the |
work, and permitted to make all kinds j
of excuses for failure.

CIRCUS TRAILED
DYPIGKPDGKETS
Minister. Traveling Salesman,
and Suburbanite Among Vic
tims of Skilled Thieves.
Pickpockets, camping on the trail of
the Ringling circus, reaped a rich har
vest in Atlanta according to various tales
of woe told to the police today. And
they had little regard for the rank of-their
victims.
Dr. A. C. Smith, a minister of Grif
fin and uncle of Atlanta's city bacteriol
ogist, had just boarded a Seaboard train
to Cedartown, when he heard a commo
tion and a man shouting that his wallet
had been stolen. The minister was get
ting interested when an excited woman,
who had been gesticulating frantically,
told him that his pocket had been picked
also, and pointed out the thief escaping
in the station crowd. Dr. Smith, verify
ing the fact that he had lost his pocket
book, jumped off the train, but his chase
was futile.
Tom Wilson, who said his home is in
Birmingham, was arrested as a pickpock
et. lie had $135 sewed up in his clothes
and the route of the circus written in his
hat. James Hardeen. a salesman, from
the unsophisticated city of New York,
was the victim. He said his pocket was
picked on a Whitehall street car.
.1. T Tuggle, of Wallace Station, lost

Equitable building, and when he began to

Recklessness Charge.
Miss Harriet Cole, popular society
girl, wept in police court today as Mrs
Lee Overby, S 3 Auburn avenue, pathet.
ically paid tribute to her twelve-year
old daughter, Alice Morris, who was
run down and killed in Peachtree street
two weeks ago by an electric car driv
en by Miss Cole,

the best little girl, and I could trust
anything to her," murmured the moth
er.
Miss Cole was overcome by emotion
Following a thorough investigation,
Recorder Broyles held that the acci
dent -as unavoidable and dismissed
the case of Miss Cole. She was.
charged with recklessly running an au
tomobile.
Several society girls, friends of Miss
Cole, were present to hear the trial.
The chief witness for the defense was
Miss Marie Pappenheimer, who was in
the car with Miss Cole at the time of
the tragedy and who gave a graphic
description of the car striking the little
girl. Miss Pappenheimer, Miss Cole
and two young men, who also were in
the car, testified that the batteries were
very low, that it was impossible for the
car to make much speed, and that it
was not exceeding five or six miles an
hour. They said that when the little
girl stepped in front of the car It was
too late to avoid the accident.
One witness for the prosecution, a
chauffeur, declared the car was run
ning at a rate of fourteen or fifteen
miles when it struck the girl. Other
witnesses said they didn't hear the be!
or other warning sounded. Miss Cole
protested that she was ringing the bell
all the way.
