Amount Returned to the State Is Four Times That From Any Other County, Is | Estimate. ' 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 Georgia, is the opinion expressed Saturday by officials in the Ordinary’'s office after carefully studying the situation. The amount to 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 Hquor 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 rallroads and express company, and 7 cents to the Ordinary, until the sum of S6OO has been reached for the fiscal year. Then 90 per cent goes to the State. The stipuiated S6OO for Fuiton was reached within a few days and from now on the great bulk of compensation from thig county will be poured into the State treasury. No part of the fund for the rallroads and express company is received by the State, el /‘ Carlos H.

Tammany Cheer Greets Assertion That Wall Street Rules Nation Under G. 0. P.—2,000 Young Democrats Hear the Address. (By International News Service.) SHADOW LAWN, N. J., Sept. 30.— President 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 return to power only that it might “pessess” 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 Strect, 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 proposcd to change the foreign policy and asserted “there is 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 yel made by Mr. Wilson. The President said in part: “lI am obliged to you for giving me an opportunity to say sone 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.

Colquitt, of Colquitt & Conyers, attorneys who represent the Georgia Railway anc Power Compa ny, went to the home of Judge George L. Bell at 11:30 o'clock with an in- Junction suit to stop the strike. The injunction recites that the men are satisfled, and are belng coerced into leaving work, and it prays for the right to continue service as a common carrier, Named in the Injunction suit are Local No. 84 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: Atlanta Division, No. 7382, of the Amal,‘ gamated Association of Street and Electrical Rallway Bmployees of America; W. B. Honea, president of Division No. 732, and J. I, \‘aughan.‘ secretary; Hardy O. Teat and William Pollard, of the electrical workers, and all persons in sympathy with them. Judge Bell signed the petition as & temporary injunction, and set a hear ing for October 14, in the Superior Court. His order makes it unlawfu) for any of the above persons or organ - izations or their friends or s_\mm‘ thizers to interfere between now um# October 14 with any property of e company in any manner or to inter fere with any persons working for the company or desiring to work for it; and it also enjoins the above mdivid vals and their friends or sympathiz ers from boarding any street car without the legitimate purpose of rid ing and paying fare, On the October date argument will be feard on whether or not the in- Junction shall be made permanent or dissomwed, Mr. Colquitt appeared at the com pany headquarters, on Walton street, at 10:30 o'clock, with his legal papers already drawn up, and, after a short conference with the officials of the company, went to Judge Bell's home, 'm No. 20 Spruce street. | At midnight a harry call was sent { for help for the company's garage on |l§l|m(‘r street, which was said to have been threatened by a crowd.

Price Five Cenis—Pay No More (Copyright 1913 by the Georgian Company.) ‘ D H I I Four hours and a half after the strike of the carmen of the 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 ears to the barn. Mr. Arkwright gave as the reason for his order that adequate police protection for a eon 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 mux%f" jeers and cheers, the real dangers to the car service were on the eutskirts of the city and on the suburban lines. Among the first acts of violence was the burning of Mead Station, on the North Decatur car 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. I$ was reported that two cars 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 lines. Early in the night the cars on these lines were ordered turned back at Fort McPherson. 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 escaped 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 erowds on the street it was impossible to tell the actual strength of the strikers. AGITATORS CLIMB ONTO CARS; SOME ARRESTED. The men who stuek to their cars and the strikebreakers who took the places of those who left their posts were derided and jeered as they passed through the crowds. 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 counld, 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 inno cent spectators were on the street that the strike agitators were afforded a sort of cloak for their plans. The innocent members even gave a sort of good-natured cast to the erowd rariier 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 0| o'clock. All other available men were pressed into service 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 adver tisement was sent to The American, signed by hundreds of the carmen, declaring their loyalty to the com-{ pany. “We have 1,026. me in the service” he said. “Eight hunared men signed a petition today saying they did not want to strike. There were many we did not see. We had no demands made on us and were not given any notice. “All we need to give service s po lice protection,” The troliey Company officials could not give any cstimate of the number of employees who had walked out. ‘They said it was low. They did not dhink It was 25 pereeat, = 000 It was quite evident that the deef slon of the company to call in its cars before the regular hour was due to the late developments. Travel on the cars was considered unsafe for the ' patrons of the company. | Strike Leaders Pleased. The strike leaders .ppeared satis fied at the results they had attained. They ,assembled in meeting at the Lahor Temple at midnight to count noses and decide on further efforts. W. M. Pollard and Hardy Teat, the leaders, declared they would win, They said that a'large per cent of the ' men had struck, and that they would have 90 per cent of them out finally, The strikers were well organized, Their efforts were not confined to boisterous demonstrations downtown, Pickets were at all the junctions on the outskirts, dark figures that ap peared out of the dark as the cams rolled up, and between urging the carmen to quit, talked to passengers through the windows of threatening dangers. \ ; The strength and organization of the strike movement was something of 4 surprije Of the thousands whe passed along the sidewalks or rods up and down the central strests in . .momobilu 4% merely i‘la e T . b ’ ;
