5. J, L. ACCUSED or worn Road To Be Sued for Alleged Violation of the Freight Routing Law. Because of its failure to observe ru ]e No. 33, which requires Georgia roads to ship unrouted freight over the route calling for the lowest rate, the state railroad commission has recom mended to the governor that he proceed in the courts against the Seaboard Air Line railway. The maximum penalty attaching to violations of this rule is a fine of $5,000 and the state may move against the road in any of the counties through which the roads’ lines run. The commission's rules permit a shipper to select his own route—either the lower or the higher—but in the ab sence of instructions by the shipper as to which way freight shall be shipped the road is required to ship it via the less expensive route. The commission charges that the Seaboard has refused and declined to observe this rule and that it therefore should be disciplined and forced to meet the commission’s regulations. The specific case cited in the com mission’s communication to the gov ernor concerns a shipment, of potatoes from Clyo to Augusta. Instead of mak ing this shipment via the lower freight route, the Seaboard sent around through South Carolina, practically doubling the freight charges to the shipper. OFFICER SEARCHES IN VAIN FOR 2 MISSING CLEGHORN BROTHERS ASHBURN, GA., Dec. 12.—Deputy O. B. Jarman, after a search all of yester day and nearly all night, last night failed to locate Jake and Joe .Cleghorn, for whom he had peace warrants. He is expected to renew the search this afternoon. It is not expected that they will resist arrest when located. While both Marion and Tan. Cleg horn. wounded in Tuesday's feud bat tle, are resting well, but little change is noted in Marion's condition since yesterday, and his recovery is extreme ly doubtful. Excitement has subsided to a great extent, and it is believed that both the Cleghorn and Marchman factions have stacked arms, for the time being at least.

The shaft was purchased by the vet erans. but has never been fully paid for. The veterans presented the monument to the Daughters of the Confederacy, and they in turn gave it* to the city, which erected it in the park in front of the city hall. The receiver for the marble company wants to dismantle the monument be cause of the unpaid indebtedness, but is prevented by reason of not having the city’s consent to work in a city park. Members of council openly stated in meeting that they would never willing ly givq the permission, and referred the request to a committee, with the re quest that action be delayed on it as long as possible. The local attorney for the receiver of the marble company states that a man damus will probably be sought against the city to force it to allow the dis mantling of the monument. HAYWOOD, FINDING UNREST IN CHICAGO, TO AGITATE STRIKE CHICAGO, Dec. 12 —William D. Hay wood, formerly an officer of the West ern Federation of Miners, now a lead er of the Industrial Workers of the World, is in Chicago today, consider ing the advisability of organizing a general strike of unskilled laborers. The efforts of the strike leaders will be cen tered. it was intimated, among em ployees at the stockyards and the steel mills. “There is a feeling of unrest among the employees at the stockyards and the steel mills here,” said Haywood “We are going to try to crystallize that sentiment into the biggest strike we have yet attempted. I came here be cause I have learned that Chicago, the greatest industrial center of the world, is in need of our organization and methods. “Workmen here need better working conditions and better nav. principally the former. We are going to get it for them. And our way of getting it us ually means a desperate strike. And it also means victory for us in the end. no matter what the cost. “We already have several locals at the stockyards. It will be an easy matter to organize more. There will be no demand for a closed shop or de mands of that kind. We simply want better working conditions.” ROBERT H TROY DEAD AT HOMEJN WEST END Robert H.

The into-sight figures for the week looks around 5.2.000, against 646,721 last year. Comparisons of mill takings tomorrow are likely to be bullish, as we compare with takings of only 393,- 000 bales fdr this week last year. The heavy exports during the past eight weeks and consequent large stock afloat will give large landings and takings abroad, whereas, lasi year the heavy exports and takings did not get in until Jatluarv.

Indications are for fair and colder in northern half of belt; cloudy and further showers In south ern portion; freezing probably to the coast. Liverpool cables: “Look for bureau of 13,700.000 or less.” The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Smaller movement; higher and firm spot markets and spread of belief that today's crop guess by the government will fall below 14,000,000 bales, linters excluded, sent additional shorts to cover, and throughout the session the contract divi sion reflected great strength. The government will estimate the growth of 1912 in 500-pound bales. The running bale is heavier than 500 by sonae 27 pounds, according to Mr. Hester’s rec ord thus far this season. Consequently, the figures given by the department of agriculture today will have to be reduced by about 5 per cent In order to make the figure read “commercial bales.’’ Hq„w ever, the talent as a rule will draw no such nice distinctions, but will ad. say, a half million bales to the government figures, to include linters, and then, if the interpreter be a very large crop man, he will add another half million bales because the government underestimated last year’s crop. On the other hand, the moderate crop people, who df late have vigorously endeavored to convince the trade that only a scant and unimportant remnant remains unpicked in the fields on December 1, will claim that since the gov ernment estimate is in 500-pound bares, the growth, in running bales, was record ed in smaller figures, and that any crop under 14,750,000 bales, with consumption running on record proportions, is bound to constitute a bullish condition in the cotton market.

CHICAGO Dec 12.—The strength shown in wheat this morning waa mainly |ou the light offerings in the pit. as the . fa : demand was not of an urgent character. Eaaly advances were shown of % to %c • , with sales of May at 89 to 89%©%, and July at 86% to 86%c. The market in the ; i old world was rather unsettled, showing j considerable strength early but weakened later The weather in the Argentine was -2 reported as unsettled in the first cable ~-3 received, but later it was said to have been more favorable. { Corn was a shade lower on the excel . lent weather for shelling, and movement and the expectation that receipts will j show marked increases. Liverpool was ! easier on the American cables and reports M of a large acreage planted in Argentine. ' Oats were in smaller offerings and the demand was excellent at fractionally bet ter prices. lb g products were firmer, although hogj at the >ards were ;* shade lower. The buying of wheat continued right uu , j to the close with shorts and investors taking hold freely and resting spots for tiie day were % to %c higher. One of , D i the features of the market was the fact fl I that those who have been selling every "faa | time a strong market was in evidence I were slow about- putting out short lines yfl t'xlay. * Corn closed witli advances of % to %c fl and resting spots were around the best prices reftehed Oats were %c lower to about %c high ‘ er and hog products were fractionally bet ter all around Cash sales of grain today were; Wheat. 65.000: corn. 95,000; oats. 130.000 bushels.

Dec. 12. —The Inter-Ocean I says: | “Speculators who were bullish on grain yesterday said after the close that the decline from the top prices was chiefly due to the break in stocks. It was said I that the local professionals were well out | of their wheat, but only part of the early buyers of corn had unloaded. It was i the belief that any improvement in the stock nrarket would tend to create more | confidence among holders of grain. Bears ! on all grains regarded bulges as only tem i porary and said that advances should be taken advantage of to make sales. “Conservative commission houses ad- | vise a trading position on all grains.” LIVE STOCK MARKET.

MACON FOLK SEEK BAN ON NEGRO LOCKER CLUBS MACON, GA, Dec. 12. —City council has been asked by a score of prominent property owners and business firms to ■ refus- to renew the licenses in 1913 for the negro locker clubs and saloons on Fourth street, between Mulberry and Cherry, and it is very likely that the re quest will be granted. The saloons will neither be allowed in the future on Cotton avenue, the city's , most frequented shopping thoroughfare. It is the tendency of council to Inhibit the operation of saloons in the heart of the commercial district or where prop erty values may Im- affected.
