ATLANTA T KEEP FORT TRADE Major General Aleshire Makes Clear Order Regarding Army Supply Purchases. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Atlanta merchants who want an opportunity to bid on subsistence supplies for Fort McPherson are not to be de prived of that privilege. Major Gen eral Aleshire,' chief quartermaster general of the army, to-day wrote Congressman William Schley How ard to this effect. Mr. Howard re cently protested to the War Depart ment against an order issued by the Department of the East, which was construed to mean that the Fort McPherson supplies must be pur chased from New York. General Aleshire says the War Department lias no intention of taking steps in- i imical to local merchants if the prices are satisfactory and that Circular 31 has been misunderstood. Congressman Howard expressed gratification to-day over this receipt of General Aleshire’s letter clearing up the situation. “Atlanta merchants are to get the business if they quote competitive prices.” said Congressman Howard. “Upon pressing this matter upon the War Department I have ascertained the policy is to give the business to the local merchants if thev can meet New York prices with freight included. I believe the Atlanta , *ier- chants are entitled to the business at Fort McPherson and are capable of getting it.” Precedent Broken in White House‘Santa’ WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—For the first time since the Cleveland admin istration the White House played Santa Claus to the poor of Wash ington to-day.

The first arrest under the Carlin law covering mail train thefts, wheth er from the Government, persona or corporations, was made in Atlanta Thursday morning when James Thomas Turner, an express messen ger, was taken in custody at the Terminal Station by Pinkerton de tectives and Deputy United States Marshal Lee Whatley, following a year’s investigation. At first vehemently denying the charge. Turner finally confessed. He was taken to the United States Mar shal’s office, where he spent several hours writing a list of the articles intrusted to his care which he had taken from the express cars of the Southern Express Company during the last year. ^ Turner _ lgffpi) in the express? service two years and now resides at Washington, D. C. Prior to his con nection with the company he was in business at Lavonla, Ga., where he resided for many y$nrs. He is 26 years old and married. Detectives Put in Cars. For nearly a year the Southern Express Company has endeavored to get evidence against a number of messengers and members Nof train crews suspected of a systematic rob bery of the company. Detectives have been placed as helpers to express messengers and in tiie train crews and a mass of evi dence which probably will result In wholesale arrests has been accumu lated. According to the Pinkertons, Turner’s arrest resulted from his boasts and confidences to his helpers, some of whom were Pinkerton men. A dressed chicken stolen from an ex press Shipment was presented by him to a detective-helper. His first thefts were of food, he confessed. Turner next began appropriating small articles of clothing. Then he took overcoats and shotguns. He al ways passed these things out to some one along the line and never took anything in at the end of his run, either at Washington or Atlanta. Took Only Certain Packages. His regulur run was on train No. 37, between Washington and Atlanta. He arrived in Atlanta Tuesday after noon and was hoarding a train at the Terminal Station Wednesday morning for his return trip when ar rested. In his thefts Turner did not touch packages originating in and billed for points in Southern Express Company territory. Rut packages coming into Adams Express Company territory along the Southern Express Company line's and originating in Adams Ex press Company territory and billed for Southern Express Company points and through shipments, were the ones taken by him. None of the packages opened by him could be checked di rectly against him. His method was not to take pack ages containing single articles. If there were four quarts of whisky in a package he would take one. The package would go on to its destina tion and the protest for shortage would be made against the shipper, and the blame be placed on the ship ping clerk for failure to make a com plete shipment. Officials of the Southern Express Company are elated over Turner’s arrest. The systematic robbing which has been carried on for more than a year has worried them greatly, and in Turner’s detection they believe they have opened the. way for the arrest of other men.
