Reports in political circles arc that
the conclusion of the sensational
'fraft" tnvest.isra.tlon of City Hiectrl-
ntan Turner will be s severe reprl
mand for Turner by the Investigating
committee Though Attorney Aldlne
Uhsnihers. representing the Cotton
States Electric Companv, which
brought the charges, has outlined to
the committee that It has clear
grounds to In.peach Turner If It de
sires to take up the fight, the general
belief among those vno have kept up
closely with the evl'.ence Is that the
committee will not take so radical a
view
Mayor Woodward has been a con
stant attendan - at the meetings, and
even he has no positive opinions
about what should he done.
The Investigating committee, com
posed of the Board of Electrical Con
trol and the Council Electric Lights
Committee, will meet Erlday to make
up Its report.
Turner Put on Grill.
The most interesting feature of the
close of the Investigation Thursday
afternoon was the grilling of Electri
cian Turner Turner was reluota it
to ajiswer many questions, frequent
ly replying with sharp evasions.
He presented a large number of re
ceipts showing, he. said, hla campaign
disbursements.
"These receipts don’t seem to cor
respond with the dales on which you
received the payments from the Elek-
iron Company," said Chambers
■ 1 can’t help that,” replied Turner.
"Can you tell me a single man or
corporation to whom you paid this
money?’ Insisted Chambers
"The receipts show It,” said Turner.

The question was repealed several
times with no more direct response

"Mr. uhatrman, interposed Attor

swered that question forty times."
No, no, not that many," satd
Chambers "I think the attorn 'y
must be confused by thinking of 'For

"Now, you need not get so per

"Yes, and able to take care of my

NEW YORK. Dec 12 Maintenance
of fhe Sherman Anti-trust law and
Federal control of corporations was
advocated to-day by John Hays Ham
mond. capitalist and ruining expert,
before the New York t’ivic Federa
tion Mr. Hammond, who spoke on
the subject, ".Should the Kherman
Anti-trust Uw He Amended?” said:
"To remedy the potential evils of
trusts the Federal anti-trust law
the Sherman act—was pa»#°d in 1890,
but until the past few years It has
beep in a state of innocuous desue
tude.
"Unfortunately, it has been invoked
too frequently In recent years to
ptinish the offenders rather than to
prevent the offense. Its application
i been destructive, rather than
conservative and consructive
Capitalization Evil.
J favor maintaining the basic
principle of the Sherman anti-trust
law until a new. substantial law
Mhall be enacted to protect the inter
ests of the public against possible ag
gression on the part of the trusts.
"One of the most serious evils re
sulting from ‘big business' is ascrlb-
able to the overcapitalization of in
dustrial corporations, which results in
the enhanced cost of their products
to the consumer, since the cost of
production is based not only upon the
tual cash invested, but also upon
the watered stock issued upon the
promoters' proftt-s.
"The public does not so much ob
ject to paying prices which would al
low adequate earnings on the actual
financial investment a» it does to be
ing charged upon the basis of over-
capitalization.
For Federal License.
“This is a strong argument in favol
of the enactment of a Federal Incor
poration law-—or of a Federal license,
which directly attains the same end-
having as one of its functions the
power to determine the amount oi
capitalization of industrial corpora
tions We believe that certain classes
of industrial corporations doing Inter
state business should be compelled to
incorporate under such a law.”
Mr. Hammond said he believed that
the Government should sanction busi
ness amalgamations (agreements, he
called them), and cited the fact that
independent coal operators through
the South and Middle West were los
ing money through competition.

PURSE GRABBERS— fl
e’banning Ellery Is in Atlanta with
j his big band to begin a series of con
certs Friday night at the Auditorium-
! Armory, after being introduced in a
! special performance at the Star Mat
inee at the Atlanta Theater Friday
afternoon, given for the Empty Stock
ing Fund.
Mr. Ellery, his band, and two cel
ebrated Scotch singers will be on the
Star Matinee bill—a feature the like
of which never has been offered in
vaudeville. After the matinee Mr.
Ellery is to be the guest of honor at
a reception by the Atlanta Music Fes
tival Association at Hotel Ansiey at
5 o’clock.
The programs to be offered at the
Ellery concerts will be a careful se
lection of artistic and popular music.
Perhaps the most remarkable features
of the big band are its instrumental
combinations, as heard in the peren
nial sextet from “Lucia.” and that
equally popular quartet from “Rigo-
lette.”
The opening program Includes “Wil
liam Tell Overture,” Mendelssohn’s
“Spring Song,” selections from
"Marlame Butterfly,” and Liszt’s
great symphony, “I^es Preludes.”
The two Scotch singers. Thomas
Wallace and Bayne Young, tenor and
baritone, have been decided features
of the present Ellery concert tour,
their repertoire including operatic
work, ballads, and- -especially in the
case of Mr. Young—humorous songs.
Tickets in advance for any per
formance may be had at the Cable
Piano Company and at Phillips &
Crew.

Interest to the women shoppers who

of the bill as drafted by the joint
committee of the Council and the
Chamber of Commerce prohibiting
the parking of machines on Peach

provision was considered to be espe

Beaumont Davison. representing
the Whitehall street department
stores, insisted that this change be
made, and that the parking limit time
be made 60 minutes. He said that no
woman could shop in 30 minutes.
The zone In which parking is to be

II You Eat Heartily,
Educate Your Bowels
Food Nourishes if It Does Not
Impact; Take Jacobs' Liver
Sait Before Breakfast.
The prevailing complaint of clvillza
tlon is malnutrition and Inactivity of
liver and bowels, for the higher man
advances the richer becomes his diet,
with a heavier percentage of waste
which Impacts and retards elimination,
then ferments and poisons the system,
resulting In const patlon. Indigestion,
headache, biliousness and rheumatism.
95 per cent of all diseases originate In
the digestive tract, says Dr Charcot,
the French scientist. Food poisoning
destroys strength and resiliency and the
system succumbs to malevolent germs
But It is not the food itself which de
stroys; It Is impaction and fermenta
tlon.
Jacobs' Liver Salt before breakfaat
gives a gentle flushing inside, loosens
Impact waste and washes away fermen
tation and uric acid accumulation with
the natural elimination. If you are con
stlpated or bilious, have a sick headache
and- feel down and out, Jacobs' Liver
Salt on arising will put you In splendid
shape. It never gripes or forces
like Calomel and blue mass. Calo
met Is a dangerous mercurial drug
which crashes through the system and
leaves It shaken and weak. Jacobs'
Liver Salt acts Just as surely, but gent
ly and naturally, and Is better.
Jacobs' Liver Salt before breakfast
s agreeable and energizing. The best
liver regulator for everybody. All drug
gists. 25c. Made and guaranteed
