TIIF ATLAJVI A UhUKiilA.N AMI MAVN, Till liJSDAY, APRTL 17. 1!>13. I APTAIN ALFRED BROWN, who is sought re. to be told he is heir to millions in England. English Army Officer, Reported Heir to Fortune, Thought To Be in Atlanta Now, ltrltl Brown, lately a captain in the royal nav f y, who, while walk- In* around the world to earn a wager of a few thousands, has, according to a rather dubious looking letter received to-day, inherited $25,000 in at several millions of dollar.*’. Brown was in Atlanta a few weeks ago. and Chief Beavers. In a letter re ceived from Samuel Irwin, of Bris tol, England, this morning, is asked to make every effort to find him. Mr. Irwin writes that Brown’s mother.

The business is here -good crops good earnings, good everything—but the medium of exchange is insuffi cient ami must he so recuri^ntly un til Congress shall do for financiers what it hopes to do for the average layman in adopting a new tariff. Three Roads Borrowing. The inadequacy of the money sup ply was thrown into hold relief last week when three railways entered the mafket for funds. The Pennsyl vania boldly—or was it udventurous ly?—offered $45,000,000 of stock at par upon which it promises to pay 0 per cent, dividends. The St. Paul offers a bond, bearing 4 1-2 per cent., under par. New York Central paid 0 1-4 per cent, for a $10,000,000 ac commodation In London. In normal times this total demand ed of.the money market hardly would he discussed. Currently it is regard ed as a "drain.” It served to flinch the stock market, where the accu sation was general that "hanking in terests” had supported the list for the single purpose of facilitating St. Paul’s and Pennsylvania’s financing. If the country had a civilized cur rency system such a “bear point” would ridicule the accusers. The taut money position occupied the financial districts more than th« tariff bill. The publication of the pro posed customs duties was received with indifference. The reason may be psychological. The street always has an eye for the thing next its nose if there is something ‘closer iN proximity to its proboscis. Imme diate results—or-effects-—are wanted. Shows Prosperity Increasing. Consequently * the limited railway financing was exploited adversely. Logically considered, the professional selling of stocks on the basis of rail way monetary requirement is not quite within the limits of sanity. When prosperous railroads - K apply for more capital to carry on their busi ness it means, obviously, their pros perity is increasing. As a measure for the reformation Builders of A tlanta rn wreckers have begun tearing isidences at 229 and 2.33 htree, formerly occupied by I)r. W. S Elkin and the late Governor Rufus B. Bulloch, respectively. A 12 or 15-story office building is ex pected to be erected on the site by Mrs. J. B. Whitehead and E. W. AI- friend, who control the property. This building will be i pioneer in the section among office structures. Plans ar* not definite. Mrs. White head is abroad, and Mr. Alfriend has thought of several other projects. The Elkin and Bulloch properties are on the east side of the street be tween Cain and Harris street^, and are two-story brick affairs. Governor Bulloch lived at No. 233 until about 1900. The place then started chang ing hands in the realty market, and a good-sized fortune has been made out of it. A. J. & H. F. West sold It to Captain James W. English for $1 1,000, and Captain English sold to Captain Joseph F. Burke for $16,000. Captain Burke made a profit of about $12,000, and Mrs. Whitehead paid the last owner approximately $75,000. The Bulloch and Elkin homes were the one for many years of brilliant so cial gatherings, and their destruction means the passing of two other land marks of early Atlanta. The lots ag- gregate something more than 100 feet frontage, and are of good depth. Closer to ,the center of town, the old residence at the northeast corner of Poplar and North Forsyth Streets has finally been razed, and a sign hung out which reads, “Brick and lumber for sale. Also bath tub.” To Build Near Postoffice. J. B. Thompson, owner of lots north of the postoffice, which front 21 feet on Poplar Street and 40 on Fairlie and connect In the rear, has begun excavating for business houses. He will dig down 11 feet for a basement, but beyond this his plans are vague. 5 Auburn Ave. 8-10 N.

Decatur Board of Trade DECATUR, OA Wrekes Building of the currency mhy not be submit ted until the tariff bill is well under way, economists may watch the course of the latter with undivided interest. Perhaps its best recom mendation is that. It satisfies neither the free trader nor ttie protectionist. The time is past for economists to consider radicalism the be-all and end-all of an economic proposition. 'Phis is a period of temperate think ing. of modifications, of mutual con cessions. If then* is any nation adapted for free trade it is England. There the steps toward a purely manufacturing <■<•mmunity were irrevocably taken and the question would seem to have been what are the best means of re maining with safety and prosperity in the far-developed stage? Looking at the geographical situa tion .of England, counting her popu lation, seeing her small agricultural resources and her vast manufactur ing equipment, ii wr.^ild appear that there a policy of free trade alone is tenable. Reaction in Great Britain. Yet a reaction has been on against free trade for several years, a reac tion supported by pretty effective arguments. The.*-.' arguments all turn to the sensible expediency of reciprocity arrangements. It is now found that absolute free trade will not do even for “free trade Britain.” Hence the reciprocity provision in what may be called the Underwood bill Is a comfort to all except the i xtremists in international trade science. There are a sufficient num ber of highly taxed schedules In the Underwood proposition to give Wil son scope for treaties with desirable trading countries. The expense of living undoubtedly will be reduced by some of the free and low entry clauses. Whether the cost will be reduced to general expectations is doubtful for it may be restated profitably that living costs have men not only in the Americas and Europe hut in the finer parts of Asia and Africa. Man new wants much here below and he wants that much longer than in former ages. Civilization implies complexity. The luxuries of the fath er become the 'necessaries of the son. A longer purse is required to lead the simple life of this year than the luxurious life of yesterday. Tariff Not a Wonder Worker. There is no wonder working magic about the tariff. It is purely a proba tive force; necessarily experimental individually; a toing of experience Each nation mu. t decide for itself what it wants. Some principles of universal application it has; but in its prartual workings a thousand and one differentiated things come into play. Were the world altruistic, the prob lem would be easy of solution. Fair trade, or exchange, would rule. An apartment house with a store on the ground floor has been suggested for the property that faces on Poplar Street, opposite the north entrance to the post office. A 30x40-foot space has been cleared on the Hugh Richardson property at the southwest corner of Luckie and North Forsyth Streets, to provide for a temporary improvement which is in tended to make the parcel income hearing. Although a big department store has been suggested for this cor ner, nothing definite has been done. Quarry Owner Loses Fight on Power Co. Steel Work Postponed. Steel work was to have started a week ago on the Healey Building, but ;i delay in getting two heavy derricks from Pennsylvania has made it im possible to begin. The steel is here and will probably go up in about a week. Work is being rushed in the meantim to mak • the gTouml level Banquet To Be Weil Attended. Return postal cards received by Executive Secretary Joseph D. Greene, of the Atlanta Real Estate Board, in dicate that there will be a large at tendance at the board’s monthly dinner at the Cafe Durand to-morrow night. The speaker of the evening will be A. P. Coles, vice president of the Cen tral Bank and Trust Corporation, and the host will be H. W. Dews, sales manager of the Willingham Real Es tate Agency. Water for Piedmont Road. The Piedmont Water Company, an organization of property owner.-* who live along or in the vicinity of Pied mont Hoad, will apply soon for a charter so that the company may work for an eight-inch water main from Ansley Park northward on Pied mont Hoad to connect with the main at Peachtree Road. This improve ment. it is pointed out, will do a great deal to boost property values in ihe section mentioned. Another advan tage will be to increase the water pressure at the point of joining with the Peachtree main. Building Continues Good. Contractors continue to flock into the office of Building Inspector Ed R. Hays, asking for permits to erect residences and apartment houses. A permit has been sought to build a two-story brick veneer apartment at 168 Angier Avenue, to cost $12,000. L. W. Hudson, Jr., and J. S. McCau ley are the owners. J. L. Wright will build a two-story frame dwelling at 154 Peeples- Street, and J. H. Pritchett will build a two-story frame at 373 Greenwood Avenue. An official of Marist College. Peach tree and Ivy Streets, has taken up with the building inspector some plans for a three-story addition to tiu school buildings, to cost approximate ly $20,000. Dormitories, library and recreation rooms are called for in tnc plans. The Red Men’s Wigwam Associa tion has applied for a permit to make a three-story concrete addition, cost ing $32,74)8. to their quarters at ,s6 Centra I Avenue. Details of the pian have been announced. The front will be replaced later. Peachtree Lots at Auction. On Saturday ^ o’clock John H Jantes will offer for sale at auc tion :;o lots at the Seaboard R’ailroad and Peachtree Road, on terms of $25 cash and $10 a month, at 6 per cent. ,T. W. Ferguson & Son will be the auc tioneers. I Injunction to Prevent Stringing Wires Over Granite Fields Denied •by Supreme Court. Prison Board’s Requests Fail to Show Nature of Crimes, Says Governor. Gov ?ur to by the lor Brown refused to con- ay In recommendations made tae Prison Commission in be half of two life-termers sentenced for murder. In the case of James Conger, re- eeived in prison from Colquitt Coun ty in 1897, the Governor said the rec ord consisted of little besides re quests and petitions showing the rec ord of the man while in prison. “There should be shown something of the nature of the crime committed. I can not approve on the showing made,” was the notation on the petition. Another disappointment was given the scores of persona from Washing ton County who have been pleading for the last ten years for clemency for Willis Clayton Governor Brown declined to grant the parole recorh- mended by the commission. Mem bers of the jury which convicted Clayton of murder in 1893. the pre siding judge and many others have joined in the plea for clemency, but it was the attitude of the Governor that practically nothing had been said of the nature of the murder or the cir cumstances under which it was com mitted. Shine Hayden, eonvibted in Jeffer son City Court of carrying concealed weapons and discharging a pistol on Sunday and being drunk on the high way, was granted his freedom after having served about one-third pf the sentence against him. Rabun Ayers, sentenced from Hab ersham County to eight months for gnrglary and four for drunkenness, was ordered released on the expira tion of the eight months’ sentence. Charles V. Gonzales, sentenced to ten years from the Fulton County Su perior Court, was given a parole on the representation that the offence which technically was a burglary, in reality was barely more than a mis demeanor. DAss Knieks, a Murray County youth, was granted a parole after having served a few months of his two years’ sentence. The $150 which he was accused of stealing was re funded. Charles G. Smith, sentenced from Taylor County, found his plea of ill ness ineffectual in obtaining clem ency. Property in Postoffice Section and Eight West End Blocks Are Sold. The local real estate market awoke with a start to-day following dull business due to bad weather, with a swap of semi-central property in the postoffice section and eight blocks in West End, involving nearly quarter of a million dollars. 11. J. Bruce, a loan agent in the Empire Building, sold for the Union Savings Bank, J. T. HoUeman, presi dent, to the Walton Realty Company, 39 acres in West End. bounded by Holderness Street on the east, Capers Street on the south. Muse Street on the west and Greenwich Street on the north, for $110,000, and to the Union Savings Bank for the Walton Realty Company nine lots on Nassau. Wal ton. Bartow and Spring Streets for $100,000, the Walton Realty Company paying the difference in cash. The Walton Realty Company will subdivide its new holdings in West End and the Union Savings Bank will probably erect a substantial im provement on part of its semi-central property, although plans for the building are not definite. Lucilc Avenue bisects the West End acreage and Atwood and Hopkins Streets art/ also included in it. Bat tle Hill is to the north, Oakland City to the south. West End to the east, nd West End Park to the west. The Westview car line passes through. All of the tract is in the city limits, and it has ‘i considerable amount of pav ing. tile walks, sewers, water and lights, but no houses. The Southern Mortgage Company, controlled by the same people as the Union Savings Bank, owns the point of Walton. Spring and Nassau Streets, and five of the nine lots ac quired by the latter concern are west of the point and adjoining it, with frontage of 40 feet on Walton and 67 feet on Nassau. The other lots are one which fronts 30 feet on the west side of Spring Street, just north of Nassau; one fronting 45 feet on the northeast side of Nassau, near the northeast corner of Bartow, and two at the southeast corner of Nassau nd Bartow, fronting an aggregate of 50 feet on Nassau Street. C. H. Buechler, owner of a granite quarry in Fulton County, lost a suit for injunction against the Georgia Railway and Power Company, brought In Fulton County Superior Court and appealed by Buechler to the Supreme Court, which to-day affirmed the low er tribunal. Beuchler asked that the corporation be restrained from stretching its wires over his quarry, declaring he feared blasting would break the heavily charged wires and permit them to fall to the ground, where they would be a source of danger to his workmen. The injunction was denied by the Fulton County Court . The Supreme Court, in affirming the decision, said an injunction to prevent a corpora tion from condemning a mill or fac tory in actual operation can not be extended to cover the property from which the raw material is obtained.
