Forbes Says More Honest Men
Are Taking Hold—Paints
Brady as “Fixer.”
By B. C. FORBES.
The old school financiers are pass
ing. Men of better moral fibre, men
imbued with higher ideals, men more
democratic in their sympathies and
possessed of more enlightened ideas
comcerning the'r responsibilities to
ward the public and the common
wealth are taking their places.
• • •
Anthony N. Brady was essentially a
financier of the nineteenth century
type. He embodied most of the faults
and a few of the virtues of his class,
it was remarked of him yesterday by
one of his intimates, President Wal
lace, of the Central Trust Company,
that he was the soul of loyalty to his
friends, “even though they were dead,"
that he was a man of simplicity, not
given to ostentation, and intensely
democratic.
• * •
But Mr. Brady the public knew was
different. He was a dictator, a
“fixer" of politicians, a boss of Al
bany and New York bosses, a stock
market manipulator, an enemy of
publicity, a handler of profitable
“side-lines."
* * •
He was king of frachise-mongers.
• • •
If a gas company wanted a fran
chise, Brady had to be seen. If a
traction company wanted the right to
lay lines, Brady was the man to han
dle the job. If an electric light and
power company needed valuable priv
ileges from a community, Brady could
get them.
* * •
Franchises obtained for nothing—
except a “consideration” to poli
ticians—could be turned into fortunes.
The public first parted with the fran
chises and then paid Brady and his
cronies millions for them—by buying
the stocks and bonds issued on the
strength of them. Wall Street’s esti
mate of Anthony N. Brady’s wealth
is $5C,CCC CC0.
* • *
The exposure of the Wall and Cort
land street traction deal afforded the
public rn Ksght into the Brady art
of transforming a franchise into a
frrtur.:. Thomas Fortune Ryan and
his brs~m friend (Brady) quarrelled
over certain spoils, and the disgrace
ful truth came to light.
* * •
Bradv, like others of his genera-
t cn. liked to work in the dark. He
did not believe in publicity. In this
respect he was a fit companion for
Ryan. His ways were those of H. O.
Havemever, the sugar king. To this
day William Rockefeller has supreme
contempt for public opinion. H. H.
Rogers also had scant use for pub
licity. Nor had John D. Rockefeller
for many years, although a decade
ago he saw a great fight, and has
acted differently since. J. P. Morgan
latterly realized the power of public
sentiment, and was sensitive to criti
cism, as is his son. E. H. Harriman,
too, woke up before he died—you
may recall his sudden change of front
toward the reporters.
• * *
The Ryan-Brady-Whitney clique
outlived its day. New York would
not submit to it to-day. Its machina
tions were of the “public-be-damned"
order. Its policy was to “see" po
litical bosses. The successful finan
cier of the new generation must
square himself with the public.
Truckling with men of the Murphy
stripe no-longer pays in the end. It
is too dangerous. Public opinion can
not now be “accelerated" that way,
to use Lemuel Quigg’s famous phrase.
* * *
Finance is being forced into the
open. Bribery and corruption are be
coming unprofitable.. Corporations
now strive to placate the public
rather than the politicians.
* • *
To rise from a bartender to a Wall
street magnate was an achievement,
no doubt, but the path was devious.
* * *
The wise members of the younger
generation will not seek to follow it.
The straight path, it is being dis
covered, is the only one that brings
the kind of success worth winnmq,
the kind that can be left as a wel
come legacy, the kind that leaves no
sting.
* * •
It is not enough nowadays to be
loyal to friends. The financier who
would aspire to greatness must be
loyal to the public. A fat purse, filled
by questionable methods, will not car
ry him very far.

AUGUSTA KILLINGS
LOS ANGELES, July 26.—“It is
necessary to get relief for my speed-
racked nerves. My husband lives like
he drives. I was born and bred in
staid old Boston and I can’t stand the
speed."
This wro the statement of Mrs.
Teddy Tetzlaff to-day, when she an
nounced that she was preparing to
file a suit for divorce against her
husband, the famous automobile race
driver and holder jjf the worli's speed
record.
The Tetzlaffs have been separated
for about a year, and the wife says
she was forced to leave her husband
to save little Teddy, their 9-year-old
boy, from the speed craze.

Widow of Victim Asserts That the
Facts Were Suppressed to
Protect the Military.
That she was not allowed to tell
her' story of the shooting before the
military court-martial, and that sol
diers shot at her brother-in-law after
he had called to them not to Are
again was the testimony given by Mrs.
B. S. Dunbar before the Military Com
mittee of the House Friday after
noon when the investigation into the
Augusta Rfltings of several months
ago was taken up.
The investigation is being held un
der a resolution introduced by Repre
sentative Beck, of Carroll County.
The other witnesses were Mrs. Rob
ert Christie, widow of one of the
men killed; Sheriff John W. Clark, of
Richmond County; Palmer Christie
and I. M. Dohme, of Augusta. They
were represented by Clem E. Dunbar,
former member of the House.
Mrs. Dunbar charged that one of
the officers told her he had become ex
cited during the shooting and or
dered his men to shoot promiscuous
ly. but that Major Claude Smith had
refused to allow her to testify to this
effect. When she asked Major Lev*
why she had not been allowed to tell
her story correctly before the court-
martial. she said, he replied that the
military must be protected.
"For God’s sake, don’t shoot. Don’t
you see I am trying to stop my ma
chine?" are the words which she as
serted Christie told her he said to
the soldiers. “He was on his way to
my home in his automobile to get his
wife. He saw the soldiers, but thought
nothing of it. They fired at him and
he atempted to stop and called to
them not to shoot again, but they
fired another volley and wounded him
in one of his lungs, which caused his
death a short while afterward.”
When the hearing is resumed Tues
day it probably will continue each
afternoon through the wek. Practi
cally every military officer who was
on duty fn Augusta, as well as many
privates, will be summoned to ap
pear before the committee.

Recently Governor Slaton refused
to be the judge In the selection of 500
portraits of Atlanta youngsters for
the Temple of Childhood at the Pan
ama-Pacific International Exposition,
on the grounds that the job was to'o
difficult because there were so many
good-lookers.
The Beauty Contest Editor is keep
ing awake these nights, and when
he ha's managed to get a bit of sleep,
he has had nightmares, for fear that
the same sort of thing is going fo
happen to his contest.
Honestly, there are just so many
beautfes being nominated every day
that The Georgian photographers are
actually scrapping among themselves
to decide who shall make the picture
The latest one submitted is that of
Miss Elinor Macy, only daughter of
Mrs. Grace Keefer, of 80 East Four
teenth street.
Miss Macy made her debut recent
ly and is regarded as one of Atlanta’s
fairest. She has fair skin and dark
blue eyes, with a wealth of rich dark
brown hair. That she will get many
votes is predicted by her friends.
Who’s the next one?
