ENTRIES
One of the irreat regional banka is
10 be established in Atlanta, unless
the firm exportations of every mem
ber of the Atlanta ('learlng House go
awry.
Following ilie announcement that
Atlanta was one of the fourteen cities
selected to be visited by the organi
sation committee, the Atlanta bank
er, were quite sure Saturday morn
ing that that fact practically cinched
matters so far as establishing At
lanta as the reserve city of one of the
great divisions was concerned.
"1 slmDly don’t see how we can
miss it now " said Henry Davis, i ash
ler ..f the Dowry National Bank
"Here's the way we look at it. ' : twelve, regional
went on The provision ''alls_ for
eight to twelve' regional banks that
means either eight or twelve. 1 take
it a number between hardly would
be necessary to the distribution of
the divisions I'm mighty glad the
President had his.way about the num
ber of banks. Atlanta might have
been pushed pretty hard had the num
her been fixed at four. Hut with as
many as eight-well, 1 don't see how
we can be passed by.
Arguments for Committee.
Mr Davis was asked about the ar
guments that would be offered to the
organization committee when It met
here for its public hearing in l ebru-
' r> 'f’or one thing.” he replied "web
show them that Atlanta Is situated,
geographically, in the center of the
Southeastern territory of the 1 ruled
States. There is no getting around
that point. ,
•‘Next we purpose to «Yiow that
Atlanta’all eariv is the financial cen
ter of the whole South, not to restrict
u to the Southeastern States.
'Then we have figures showing
the tributary territory from

ending am other Southern city.

n also are on the ’visiting list’ of

ew ill-leans Is concerned, <t was I
own long ago that Atlanta's trlbu

ice th - size snd scope oT that |
t\ed by New Orleans. As for linns-j
,, e ven if it should be derided that ,
regional bank should be placed j
nrt U would occupy a sort of Mld-
South section, leaving Atlanta i
ithout a rival for the. Southeastern
necessary even to have a separate
building for the bank here. Probably
a flooc< or two or three Moors, would
be occupied in some Atlanta sky-
scrai>er. for the time being, at any
rate.
Fourteen Cities Lead.
“As to ttie rate of interest. that is
.vet to be established, but 1 nave no
doubt that it will be lower than the
scale now obtainable in New York.”
A good deal of the certainty that
Atlanta will be selected among the
reserve cities arises from the an
nouncement by the organization com
mittee ,»f the iist of cities it will visit
fourteen in all. of course. It is
said that the claims of other cities
will be considered. Hut it is the im
pression here that the eight, or the
banking locations
will be selected from the following
list:
New York, Hoston, < ’hicago, St.
Louis. Denver. Seattle, Portland, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, New
Orleans. Atlanta, Cincinnati and
(’leveland.
Atlanta Has Rivals
For Reserve Bank.
Word comes from Washington tiiat
In the plans to establish regions!
banka under the new law Atlanta has
at least two important rivals in ths
Southern division. Houston and New
Orleans are announced with Atlanta,
and public hearings by the organiza
tion committee art- to he held in thjse
cities sytnr* time in Kebruar to con
sider their claims that they should he
made Vederal reserve cities.
Among the recommendations mainly
to be considered are geographical con
venience. the industrial and commer
cial development and needs of the
section, and the already established
custom and trend of business, as de
veloped In the present banking svs-
tem.
Tne committee ill spend from two
to four' da: ; at each place. The bank
ers and business men of the city will
be ready at tire hearings to present
the reasons, and the committee will
make whatever inquiries it deems
needful.

Advantages to Atlanta.
Then Mr. Davis spoke of other ad
vantages to be derived from the es
tablishment of a.regional bank in At
lanta.

'WHITE' )MS FOB
?SB FROM MILLS
Poor Children Are Guests of Little
Folks at the First Methodist
Church.
To-day 250 poor children of At
lanta are wondering if the “white
Christmas” given to them Friday by
the children bf the First Methodist
Church was a dream. But then they
have toys and other gifts to testif
to its reality.
The First Methodist children are
correspondingly happy over the sue
cess of their novel entertainment
which was the first of its kind in At
lanta. Each child was a “personal
Santa” to some less fortunate little
brother or sister from the mill dis
trict, and they enjoyed their roles as
much as their guests.
The “white Christmas” is symboli
cal of an ancient legend in which all
the people bring white gifts to the
King or Christ Child. The lecture
room of the church, in which the en
tertainment was given carried out the
idea, being decorated in cotton, whidh
gave a snowy effect.
Several Christmas trees were cov
ered with silver tinsel. Incandescent
lights among the decorations made
the scene brilliant.
Tile children from the Sheltering
Arms, the Atlanta Woolen Mills and
the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills oc
cupied chairs, w hile the Sunday school
children sat on the floor. All joined
in carols, after which “The Story of
Christ” was read by Dr. W. W. Mem-
minger, pastor of All Saints Church.
The little hosts and hostesses then
distributed well-filled stockings to the
poor children and served them with
refreshments.
The "white Christmas” lasted from
3 o’clock to 5.
New Buildings Ready Soon After
January 1, but Leases on Broad
Street Houses Continue.
A dozen—maytx thirteen—produce
firms are to move off South Broad
street soon after the first of the year,
and there is a good deal of wonder as
to what sort of district that busy sec
tion will develop next, after the pro
duce men have taken up their new
stations along Produce row, between
Washington street and Central ave
nue.
The sixteen buildings—three sto
ries, elevators, done in concrete—
won’t be ready by January 1, it seems.
But they will be ready as soon there
after as possible, and when they are
ready the produce men will have to
start paying rent on their reserva
tions, whether they move in or not.
That rather complicates things.
Some of the leases on the present
stands run eight months into 1914.
Some of them run longer. Some of
the produce men have leases that will
run two or three years.
Hard to Sublet Stores.
Just now they are trying to sublet
the stores.
“But it’s a tough job,” one produce
dealer said Saturday. "These buildings
are not in good shape. I don’t see
what sort of business aside from ours
could be carried on in them.”
There is an idea, fairly prevalen*,
that the owners o* the present pro
duce stands will eventually put up
handsome and substantial buildings
and strive to make South Broad street
a big retail thoroughfare, on the
Whitehall street plan. But whether
they will start his work before the
present leases expire—that is anoth
er question, and one the owners are
not disposed to discuss freely.
The produce men are engaged just
now in trying to settle on a date when
they could move in a body.
Large Firms Involved.
"I understand the new ‘row’ won’t
be ready for occupancy before March
1,” said one dealer. “My idea is that
ah the boys ought to go together;
there’s no system in splitting up the
territory, as would be the case if they
moved a few at a time. Personally,
I’d rather pay rent at the new place
after it is ready and stay on hero
until the bunch goes. My lease runs
until next fa!L*’
The produce men involved in the
prospective move are McCullough
Bros., the Williams-Thompson Com
pany, Bell Bros., Baisden & Co., the
Gallmand-Cheves Company. the
Barnes-Fain Companyf the Fidelity
Fruit and Produce Company, A. Fu-
gazzi, the Southern Produce Compa
ny, Wigt, Davis Co., the McMillan
Produce Company, Conley & Ennis,
Porter Bros, and West Bros.
Among the property owners are
Frank Coker, Mrs. John Broomhead,
the Murphy estate, John Dickey, Jr.,
AlVarson Bros, and the Gus Ryan es-
I tate.

Prepares to Appeal
Alabama Rate Case
MONTGOMERY, Dec. 2 7.—Robert
C. Brickwell, State Attorney General,
has completed plans for the appeal in
the Alabama railroad rate cases
which involve the constitutionality of
the 2 1-2 cent passenger fare and 110
commodity freight rates placed on the
statute books of the State by the
Legislature during the administration
of Governor Comer.
Defendants in the Alabama case are
the Louisville and Nashville, South
and North, Central of Georgia, and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis.
The “poisoned needle” story fail,,
to make any impression upon Record,
er Broyles Saturday, even though r
la ted with many protestations of its
truthfulness by Mrs, Mattie Deaton,
of Charlotte, N. C., in explanation of
her queer actions on Peachtree street
Friday afternoon.
The Recorders only comment In
imposing a $25.75 fine was that the
name of the fair defendant should n >:
be Deaton, but, rather, Munchausen
as the relict of that famous prevari-
cator.
Mrs. Deaton Impressively told the
court that she had arrived from
Charlotte on Friday and that white
she was walking through the Ter
minal Station she felt a sharp stint
on her arm.
“I dropped my suit case to the
floor," she said, “and right there at tnv
side was a young man. He picked the
suit case up for me, and after that I
don’t know what happened, your hon
or.”
She might have been at Five Points
Friday afternoon, as the officer's
charged, where she made efforts to
flirt with a number of men. Maybe
it was so. She couldn’t rememba’- a
thing that happened after receiving
that mysterious "«ting” in the arm
"Let me see your arm," demanded
the Recorder. It showed no signs f
the "poisoned needle.”
"I guess you’ve been reading -h.
sensational stories about the “needle
men’ in New York," he said. Inves
tigation disclosed that the woman had
arrived in Atlanta not on Friday, but
several weeks ago.
