Colonel Calls G. 0. P. Persecu :
tion of Mrs. Longstreet, of
> Georgia, Contemptible.
A-MICXGO, Dec. 11.—The national
e of the Progressive party to
cr nt ,nto session prepared to
2L definitely on the plans presented
X national conference yesterday for
a nent organization. The sessions
Jn= at ‘he LaSalle hotel shortly be
ri noon It was expected that they
Tid'frame resolutions embodying the
TL of organization presented, and
fthe executive committee would be
I powered to go ahead with the work
Fcarrytng the organization forward
Lns the lines mapped out.
] The resolutions, it was expected,
would urge the organization of a dues
’ inß membership to carry on a na-
L. .vide campaign of •‘education" that
to begin at once. The educational
rnioaign, it was expected, would be
aXd forward through six bureaus
/.‘suggested by Miss Jane Addams in a
plan submitted to the conference yes
dav and which was greeted with ap
|lause by those who attended the ses
tons.
For Weekly Newspaper.
It was expected also that the com
nl'ttee would adopt specific plans for
... work of organization in the vari
es states, carried on largely by the
n who headed the campaign that has
lust ended. A weekly newspaper and
jossibly a monthly, to be the official
,r ß ans of the party, are also to be es
ablished if the committee carries out
hP recommendations of the conference.
It was expected also that a series of
resolutions embodying the sentiments
of the conference would be presented.
These would pay especial tribute to
Colonel Roosevelt, it was said, embody
ing the remarks of B. Fay Mills yes
terday. In which he referred to the
colonel as the natural candidate of the
party in 1916. It was expected also
that the resolutions would urge the
colonel personally and the party to
take even a more advanced stand re
garding the Judiciary than that indi
cated in Roosevelt’s Columbus speech.
"Contemptible,” Says Colonel.
Colonel Roosevelt, speaking last night
at the “family dinner" of delegates, de
clared the Republican administration
was spending “its last days” in punish
ing small postmasters and postmis
tresses who had joined the Progres
sive cause.”
I "Never has there been a more igno
ble ending to a once great political
party,” said Colonel Roosevelt. “It’s
after election. The administration is
safe from everything but incurring the
hearty contempt of all good men and
all good women. It couldn't get at any
of the big people and so it is work
ing out its spite on the small ones.
'■’ould anything be more contempti
ble than the administration’s persecu
tion of Mrs. Helen Longstreet, the
\ridow of General Longstreet, who has
beef a Georgia postmistress and who
had the courage and high-mlndedness
to hdorse the things for which the
Progressive party stand?"
Cilonel Roosevelt congratulated the
Prorresslves for having formed a par
ty vhich knows no sectionalism.
h concluding his speech. Colonel
Jirosevelt said:
I 'This country won’t be a good placs
for any one to live in unless we make it
r good place for every one to live in,
hnd that is Just what the Progressiva
[party Intends to do.”

‘Committee Can’t Agree on Division of Plums
TROUBLE AT PIE COUNTER
The pestiferous question of Federal
patronage pie will not down in Geor
gia.
Senators and mere congressmen long
ago threw up their hands and wished
they never had been born, so heavy
has been the avalanche of applications
for jobs precipitated upon them.
But right here in Atlanta, some six
weeks ago, was formed a close commit
tee on Federal patronage.
It consisted—and still consists, al
though split into various factions—of
a round dozen faithful and true Wil
sonites. A noble twelve, they are, who
“fit, bled and died” for the New Jer
sey governor when fighting, bleeding
and dying was in order; and this com
mittee set for itself the task of divid
ing the forthcoming Federal pie, and
passing it out in such wise as it should
go.
The committee consists of—but not
yet has come the precise time for the
naming of names!
Six Weeks of Futile Labor.
Suffice it to say that the committee
has been committeeing busily since it
organized itself, commissioned itself,
and went to work, as aforesaid, some
six weeks ago.
It was discovered, soon after the
committee was organized, that divers
and sundry committeemen had their
individual eyes on large, fat, Juicy,
plumpy plums, and z that they Intended,
first thing of all, to commit the com
mittee to their right and title to the
same, before proceeding to the division
among the smaller and less favored
fry.
On the committee, however, are three
who swore by the great horn spoon that
they wanted nothing themselves, and
that they thought it all wrong for the
majority of the committee to swipe the
choices slices of pie in sight for its
own use. right oft the bat, so to speak!
Consider Ev#n the People.
"The people,’ said one of the truly
patriotic, at the second meeting of the
OPERA SELECTIONS
IN COSTUME NEXT
ALKAHEST NUMBER
The International Operatic company
will arrive in Atlanta tomorrow morn
ing for Its concert at the Baptist Tab
ernacle tomorrow night. This attrac
tion comes as the sixth number of the
Alkahest Lyceum course and is regard
ed by far the strongest musical number
in the series. One of the distinct ad
vantages \)n this company’s program is
the great variety of work it is able to
offer and the field of experience It has
had in concert and operatic work.
The program for Atlanta has been
selected with great care and will con
sist of selections from t,he best modern
operas presented in costume. The
operas here will be sung in English un
less otherwise requested by the solos
and duets will be sung in Swedish,
Norwegian and German.
The personnel of the company con
sists of Miss Tekla Farm, prima donna
soprano, in "Love’s Lottery;” Miss Rose
Heidenrelch, contralto, of the Chicago
Opera company; Burt P. McKinnie,
baritone, formerly with the Savage
English Opera company; J. Allen
Grubb, tenor, of the National Norway
company, and Miss Margaret Day,
pianist and accompanist.
Tickets are on sale at the Alkahest
office, 415 Empire Life building, for

AUTO FIRE ENGINE FOR MACON.
MACON, GA., Dec. 11.—With the ar
rival here next week of a new auto
mobile fire engine, costing $8,500, Ma
con's fire department will be equipped
altogether with auto apparatus. The
new machine will be formally installed
in the South Macon station on Christ
mas day.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 11. 1912.
pie committee, "won't fall for this sort
of thing! We can’t get together here
for the purpose of dividing things fair
ly, and then hook on to the best things
ourselves. We can’t get by with that
game—and I am opposed to undertak
ing anything we can’t get by with."
■‘Well.’’ said a contrary minded mem
ber. "I contributed to the Wilson cam
paign fund: I went to Baltimore and
stood on the buripng deck whence all
but me and a handful had fled; I made
a number of speeches for Wilson, and
gave out the Lord only knows how
many hot air interviews, most of which
got printed, and I think I should have
my reward.
"1 am contending fo> a principle—of
course, I don’t care particularly for the
office. I think, befpre.we proceed fur
ther, that the applications of these
members who deserve so much should
be iridorsed!”
No End of Trouble, Now.
And right then and there the trouble
in the Atlanta committee on Federal
patronage began—and the end is no
where in sight!
There are twelve on this committee.
Every one of them, if his name were
printed, would be recognized Instantly
as a mighty influence for Wilson In
Georgia. Not only do the glorious rec
ords show it, but every one of the doz
en. without exception, frankly and en
gagingly admits it.
What the outcome will be nobody
ventures to predict at this stage of the
game. Much bitterness is spreading
throughout the committee, and it may
be necessary eventually’ to put the en
tire membership under bonds to keep
the peace.
In that event, the names of the mem
bers would become matters of court
record, and the newspapers would print
them, and—oh, dear, that would cause
a rumpus, maybe!
And the source of the committee's
real authority to arrange for the dis
tribution of pie in Georgia might be
made known, too!
LITTLE CZAREVITCH
NEAR DEATH; COUSIN
PICKED FOR THRONE
PARIS, Dec. 11,—Indications that
Grand Duke Alexis, the eight-year-old
heir to the Russian throne, is failing
fast in health are contained in a St.
Petersburg telegram to The Matin to
day, which stated that Grand Duke
Pavlitch, a cousin of Czar Nicholas,
would probably be appointed heir des
ignate within a short time.
As the little czarewitch is the only
son of the czar, it would be necessary
to go outside his immediate family for
an heir to the throne in the event of
Alexis’ death.
K. P. ENCAMPMENT PLANNED.
SAVANNAH, GA., Dec. 11.—Plans are
now under way to carry all the uniform
rank companies. Knights of Pythias, to
the Grand Lodge of the state of Georgia
when it convenes in Waycross in 1913.
If the plan is carried through there will
be more than 1,000 men in the camp.
