The litigation grew out of the sale
o‘s a vast tract of ore land in Georgia,
Florida and Tennessee to the steel
company. It is charged certain de
fendants entered into a conspiracy by
which. $50,000 was to be paid by the
Georgia Iron and Coal Company as a
commission for making the sale to
the president of the Georgla Steel
Company.,
Disposition of “Fee.”
Out of this amount, it is claimed,
Thomas D. Meador, who was sald to
represent the Georgia Iron Company,
was to have §15,000; the Trust Com
pany of Georgia, who was said to
have assisted the Georgla Iron and
Coal Company in the trade, $5,000,
and the remainder to be divided be
tween the president of the Georgia
Steel Company, also a director in the
Southern Steel Company, and another
director of the Southern Steel Com
{ pany, who were to use “influence” in
!puning the deal through.
The price alleged to have been pata
for the land was $1,628,072.58, of
which $1,520,000 was paid for the real
cstate and the rest for personalty.
It was represented to the purchasers
that the property was vyzrth $8,000,-
000 and contained minerals, it is al
leged. For the purpose of inducing
the sale, it is charged, estimates and
reports were made of the prospects of
coal contained in the land then not
being worked, It ig charged Joel Hurt
and his associates previously had fully
drilled out tracts of the land and
“fully demonstrated that coal and ore
veins did not exist in them, and that
they were worthless.”
Became Bankrupt.
The officer of the Georgla Steel
Company, it is alleged, accepted $15,-
000 commission and concealed from
his prineipal the fact it that had been
received, and the sale was “influ
enced,” notwithstanding it was
known the values were grossly over
estimated. If this was not known, it
was because he ‘“‘shut his eyes,” the
Ipetifion sets forth.
~ The fact that the president and di
rvector had been hired to assist the
Georgla Iron and Coal Company in
making the esale, or that a commis
sion had been received, as not known
to the Southern Steel Company or the
Georgia Steel Company until April,
1918—four years later, it is alleged.
The Georgla Steel Company had gone
into bankruptcy and the president no
longer had any power. The Investi-I
gation in the Bankruptcy Court
brought to light the fact that the se
cret commission had been paid to him,
and that the other director of the
Southern Steel Company and the
Georgia Steel Company had allowedl
{tself to be made the victim of fraud,
it 1s charged. -
Assisted In Sale.
As a direct result of the alleged
fraud, the Georgla Steel Company lost
the amount claimed, it is set forth.
While the commission was out of the
purchase price paid by the Georzia
Steel Company to the Georgia Iron
and Coal Company, nevertheless the
other defendants, knowing of the
fraud, assisted in putting through the
sale, it Is charged.
Joel Hurt was president and George
F. Hurt a director of the Georgia Iron
and Coal Company, and dctually par- |
ticipated in making the sale and pay
ing the commission, the petition says.
Messrs. Meador and Woodruff and the
Trust Company of Georgia were act
ing as agents in making the sale, and
in inducing the president to buy, it is
charged, Mr. Meador and the trust
company, of which Mr. Woodruff was
an officer, shared in the commission,
it also is claimed.
~ The plaintiff sets forth the land was
worth not more than $500,000, and
‘that it had cost not more than from
$300,000 to $400,000,
The lands involved are in Bartow,
Dade, Cherokee and Catoosa Coun
ties, Georgia; DeKalb and Jackson
Counties, Alabama, and Marion
County, Tennessee. There were 50,000
icres, of mineral lands, 30,000 acres
of coal lands and 15,000 acres of ore
lands.

Carranza's Policy to
Mi ws Serious
Mines Grows S
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Grave
concern was manifested at the State
Department tonight over General
Carranza's insistence upon the strict
enforcement of decrees previously is
sued concerning the operation of
Mexican mines, many of them owned
by Americans, and that enforcement
will not be released, except in cases
where ample reasons, satisfactory to
Mexlcan officials, have been given for
nongompliance with the decrees.
Ambassador Fletcher is taking all
steps necessary to prevent any unjust
practices against American-owned
properties. The Ambassador today
advised the department that the Mex
jcan Minister had extended for one
week the decree requiring mine own
ers in Mexico to furnish certaln data
with reference to their properties,

CAMPAIGN BEGUN TO
GET MONUMENT FUND
Continued from Page 1.
Inspired by the desire to see the
great work begun and sent steadily
forward to completion, twenty-five of
Atlanta’s best-known citizens met
early last week in the office of Mayor
Candler and resolved to begin a cam
paign to raise a SIOO,OOO fund. It was
given full legal authority from the
Stone Mountain Memorial Assocla
tion to go ahead with this work.
Broyles Unanimous Choice.
The cholce of a chairman was to
be determined, and it was the unani
mous opinfon of the committee that
Arnold Broyles, for years clerk of the
Fulton Superlor Court, would be bet
ter qualified than any other citizen
for this post, if he would consent to
undertake the work. Mr., Broyles was
chosen for his wide popularity and
the public's confldence in his integ
rity and loyalty to his home city. He
was gent for, and after the importance
of the matter had been laid before
him he consented to serve as chair
man, ;
The committee, enlarged to nearly
one hundred members at later con
ferences, chose for vice chairman
Mayor Candler, Captain James W.
English, Mell R. Wilkinson, 8. C.
Dobbs and G. F. Willis. It will be
gin its active _campaign this week.
Mr. Borglum, who has been in New
‘York for several weeks, will return
in a few days and lend his enthusi
asm and detailed knowledge to the
work. |
- Dally meetings will be' held as soon
as the active campaign for funds be
gins, and reports of subscriptions
made public. It is expected the SIOO,-
000 desired will be raised within a
short time,
Pledge of Falth.
“This SIOO,OOO 1s to be Atlanta's
pledge of good faith and interest,"‘
said Mr. Broyles yesterday. “We have
been assured that when we raise this
sum at home geveral wealthy Eastern
men will at once donate $150,000 to!
the fund, and this will give the asso
ciation the $2560,000 to complete the
first great group of generals. When
that.is completed, and the fame of the
memorial i{s drawing thousands of
visitors to Atlanta and Stone Moun
tain from all over the country, there
will be no trouble in completing the
carving of the marching armies.
“We should remember that Atlanta
1s the only city that will deaw a di
rect commercial profit from the Con
federate memorial, though that is not!
the principal object we have in view.
Such a monument as that, most co
lossal in all the world, will bring to
Atlanta more tourists than we had
ever dreamed of. They will come
from all over Ameriea, and visitors
from Europe will come to Atlanta as
they go to Niagara Falls and the Yo
semite. A magnificent boulevard will
be built between Atlanta and Stone
IMouma.in. and within a few years the
city should grow out that boulevard
until Atlanta, Decatur and the town
of Stone Mountain merge into one
municipality.
“It is up to Atlanta to give liberal
ly to this undertaking. We have the
opportunity to have at our doors an
eighth wonder of the world, costing
$1,500,000, for the expenditure of
SIOO,OOO. Even from a cold, commer
clal viewpoint, we can not afford to
overlook {t.”
Businesslike Handling.
The fund is to be manmed In a
strictly businesslike manner. The
committee was formally authorized
by the Stone Mountaln Memorial As
sociation, a chartered corporation, to
collect and disburse the money re
celved. The face of the mountain
and the park at its base was formal
ly deeded some time ago to the memo
rial association by the owners of the
mountain, the Venable estate, and
neither the death of any party in
‘volved nor other complication can af
fect the future of the project.
~ Stone Mountain, sixteen miles from
'Atlanta, is a natural curiosity, a
‘mammoth monolith of granite rising
from the plain like a mesa in the
Southwestern desert. The north side
is almost perpendicular, 787 feet high.
‘The figures will be more than B 0 feet
high, and from the first figure to the
last the distance will be 2,000 feet.
‘The head of a soldier in the fore
ground will be four feet from brow to
chin, 3
Series of Groups. |
The marching armies carved from
the gray granite will not form a con
tinuous column, hut a series of groups,
emerging boldly from the mountaln
hereland there and melting away into
the granite. There will be infantry,
cavalry, artillery, some carved in de
tail, some mere ghadowy suggestions,
fading into the stone. |
The carving will be 400 feet above
the base of the mountain, and the
face of te-precipice which forms the
frame of the granite picture is taller
by far than the Washington Monu
ment, twice the height of the largest
pyramid, and almost as tall as the
Eiffel Tower, of Paris. The Lion of
Lucerne is known to all European
travelers, and the largest example of
rellef carving from the living rock,
will become a miniature beside the
memorial to the Soldler of the South.
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor
chosen by the Daughters of the Con
federacy to carry out the work, is
easily first among Armerican sculp
tors. His statues have the place of
honor in the Metropolitan Museum of
Art in New York and wherever mod
ern sculpture is displayed. The orig

Philadelphia, Pa.—-Do you wear glasses?
Are you a victim of eyestrain or other

to know that according to Dr lLewis
‘tbere is real hope for you. Many whose

Now I can read everything without any
glagses and my eyes do not water any
more. At night they would pain dread
fully; now they feel fine all the time. It
was lfke a miracle to me.”” A lady who
used 1t says: ‘“‘The atmosphere seemed
hazy with or wl!ggut glasses, but after
using this prescription for fifteen daya
everything seems clear. 1 can even read

Confederacy, growing out of the sug
gestion of W. H. Terrell, Atlanta at
torney, was a great stone face, that
of Robert E. Lee. But Borglum had
a greater vision,
“It is too big a thing for that,” he
said. “Not even Robert E. Lee! This
must be a tribute to the soldier in the
mass, to the army of the Confederacy,
the men in the ranks as well as the
general. There must be infantry, ar
tillery, cavalry, eternally marching
onward!”
Mr. Borglum has been told by a
number of wealthy men of the East
that they will gladly give large sums
toward the completion of the monu
ment. He expects liberal gifts to pour
in upon him when the work is well
under way.
“But first, Atlanta, most of all cities
identified with the memorial; and the
South, whose soldiers it commem
orates, must show their faith by their
works,” he said, “Let us raise SIOO,-
000 or more at home, and then we
may, with good grace, invite the na
tion to share with us in this stupen
dous work.”

The Truth About Corns
You have read much fiction about corns.
Were that not so there would be no corns.
All people would use Blue-jay.
Here is the truth, as
stated by a chemist who
spent 25 years on this
corn problem. Andas
proved already on almost
a billion corns:
“This invention— Blue
jay—makes corn troublg
needless. It stops the pain
instantly, and stops it for
ever. In 48 hours the
whole corn disappears,
save in rare cases which
take a little longer.”
