Fulton County will turn into the State treasury four times more liquor money under the new compensation act, passed at the recent session of the Legislature, than any other coun ty in Georgla, is the opinion expressed Saturday by officials in the Ordinary’'s office after carefully studying the situation. The amount tQ be turned over to the State by Fulton for the month of Sep tember is approximately $2,000. : With reports of one or two days’ business yet to be received from the railroads and express company, Clerk Claude C. Mason, who has charge of the recording of liquor shipments, announced Saturday that the ship ments received In Atlanta in Sep tember would total about 32,000. This is a greater figure than for any month since the law prohibition law became effective the first of May. The money that goes to the State is derived from the 10 cents charged on each shipment as compensation for the railroads and express company and the Ordinary. Three cents goes to the railrgads and express company, and 7 cenﬁo the Ordinary, until the sum of S6OO has been reached for the fiscal year. Then 90 per cent goes to the State. The stipulated S6OO for Fulton was reached within a few days and from now on the great bulk of compensation from this county will be poured into the State treasury. No part of the fund for the railroads and express company {8 received by the State. Carlos H.

Tammany Cheer Greets Assertion That Wall Street Rules Nation Under G. 0. P.—2,000 Young Democrats Hear the Address. Ay (By International News Service.) SHADOW LAWN, N. J., Sept. 30.— :Presidnm Wilson, in a speech before the Young Men's League of Demo cratic Clubs here today, flayed the Republican party with wit, humor and abuse as an organization seeking to returic to power only that it might “possess” the Government. Every Tammany district from New York City was represented in the gathering, which numbered probably 2,000 persons. When Mr. Wilson charged that the United States was controlled by Wall Street, while the Republicans were in power, he was greeted with a Tammany yell that was heard a mile away. And when he demanded to know how Mr. Hughes propcsed to change the foreign policy and asserted “there {8 but one choice as against peace, and that is war,” there were still more cheers. The address was considered one of the greatest campaign efforts yet made by Mr. Wilson, The President said in part: “I am obliged to you for giving me an opportunity to say some very plain things about the present campaign and about the future policy of this country, because a body of young men are very much more interested in the future than they are in the present, A Most Singular Campaign. “T do not know where from Re publican quarters you have got any suggestions as to what ls going to happen in the years to come, This is a most singular campaign.

B Held t By British Yy Dritish, } U. S. Is Told |°- S 0 | - State Department Told Sister Ship of the Deutschland'Was Caught by Huge Net, and Is Held at Rosyth. (By International News Service.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—A report has been received in official quar ters in Washington that the German submarine Bremen has been captured by British naval forces off the east coast of Scotland. The Bremen is now held at the na val base, Rosyth, at the mouth of the River North, according to report. Information contained in the re port reaching here indicated that the British naval forces employed mam moth steel nets to trap the Bremen. These nets, officials sald they were informed, were 150 feet long and 165 feet deep, and were equipped .with attached contatt bombs calculated to explode and burst the plates of a submarine that fell into the trap. ' No word has been received as to the fate of the Bremen's crew, but if the circumstances of the capture are as stated in the report the crew in all probability perished when the ‘boat was trapped. \ Officials giving out the informa tion would not state the source of the ireport and would not vouch for its iauthontktity. Naval officers, however, )werﬂ inclined to credit the report, as they beliefe the Bremen, which is ‘long overdue, would have been heard from long before this if it had not been captured. One report sent to German papers ‘“as that the Bremen had landed at TNew London. Responsibility rorl spreading this information, designml. ‘to rouse false hopes in Berlin, has since been charged to British souces. The other report, which sald a life belt from the Bremen had heen found off the Maine coast, was declared a hoax after investigation today.. The Bremen was a sister ship of the Deutschland, which made an epochal trip to Baltimore and back to Germany, eluding British and French patrols on the American and British coasts.

Four hours and a half after the strike of the carmen of tb‘» Georgia Railway and Power Company was ordered last night, the hour being 10:30 o’clock, Preston S. Arkwright, president of the company, ordered all cars to the barn. Mr. Arkwright gave as the reason for his order that adequate police protection for a con tinuation of the operation of the cars was not being given. He said that the future street railway service during the strike troubles would depend upon the police protection. ; While the crowds gathered in the center of the city and kept up a continuous round of jeers and cheers, the real dangers to the car service were on the odtskirts of the city and on the mburmA lines. Among the first acts of violence was the burning of Mead Station, on the North Decatur ear line. This was a small step-up, and the torch here caused no material loss to the company. POLES THROWN ACROSS TRACKS ON PRYOR STREET. It was reported that two ears were derailed on the North De catur line. Poles were thrown across the tracks on the South Pryor street line, at Ridge avenue. Company officials said that cas had been rocked on the Federal Prison and Luckie street lines. The rowdiest place of all was at the corner of Alabama and Forsyth streets, the terminus of both the East Point and College Park liftes. Early in the night the cars on these lines were ordered turned back at Fort MePherson. As time passed on, men in the erowd around Alabama and Forsyth streets started cutting the trolley ropes in view of the policemen who were on guard there. When the depredations actually were begun, the police attempted arrest, but most of the men esecaped down through the opening under the Forsyth street viaduet. Mild disorders were continuous in all the downtown sections until late at night. During the early part of the night there were such crowds on the street it was impossible to tell the actual strength of the strikers. AGITATORS CLIMB ONTO CARS; SOME ARRESTED. The men who stuck to their ears and the strikebreakers whao took the places of those who left their posts were derided and jeered as they passed through the ecrowds. Several times agitators for the strike climbed on the cars. These activities resulted in a number of arrests. President Arkwright sought Chief Mayo at 10 o’clock to com plain of the work of the police. He found him on his horse at the corner of Alabama and Whitehall streets. Chief Mayo said he was doing the best he could, but he wasn’t doing anything like Mr. Arkwright thought he should do Chief Mayo interfered only in specific cases of violence or at tempted violence. The disorder was continuous. but so many mna. cent spectators were on the street that the strike agitators wi I afforded a sort of cloak for their plans. The innocent me * even gave a sort of good-natured cast to the erowd ».%*:",»; Earlier in the night Mr. Arkwright gave out an optimistic statement about the car service. Chief of Po lice Mayo and Assistant Chief Jett headed a squad of mounted police down to the center of town a few minutes after the trouble started at 6 o'clock. All other available men were pressed into geryice where it appeared they were most needed. It seemed as though they should be able to cope with almost any sort of disturbance. 400 New Men, Arkwright Says. Mr, Arkwright stated that the com pany had 400 men ready to take the places of those who quit. An mdyer tisement wag sent to The American, signed by hundreds of the m‘ declaring their loyalty to the com bany. ‘ “We have 1,029 men in the service,” he sald. “Eight hundred men signed a petition today saying they did not want to strike. There were many we did not see. We hud no demands made on us and were not given any notice, I “All we need to give vervice ‘s po-| lice protection.” | The trolley company off clals could not give any estimate of the numbor of employees who had walked out. They wald it was low. They did ot wnﬁ-ﬂ'ﬂ- g PRICE FIVE CENTS. “% S # It was quite evident that th ; sion of the company to eall in its &8 M_ 3 before the regular hour was due 1o the late developments. Travel on the' cars was considered unsafe for the patrons of the company. B | Strike Leaders Pleased. * The strike leaders appeared fied at the results they had atts ‘?‘& - They assembled In muﬂn.ﬁt Labor Temple at midnight to sounk noses and declde on further efforts, W. M. Pollard and Hardy Teat, the leaders, declared they would wili" They sald that a large per cent of thy men had struck, and that they :’Ly have 90 per cent of them out finally.
