AT COM. JOE BROWN
ROBERTS SAYS HE BROKE
FAITH ON REDUCTION.
Wants Relief From Discrimina
tion—Will Appeal Direct to
People in Future.
J. B. Roberts, president of the Geor
gia Retail Marble Dealers' Association,
president of the Roberts Marble Com-
- r»ny, and mayor of Ball Ground, has a
grievance against Joseph M. Brown,
one of the railroad commissioners.
Mr. Roberts has written the follow
ing card setting forth hie charges:
Editor of the Georgian:
On Friday, May 55, O. M. Atherton,
of the Blue Ridge Marble Company,
Nelson, Ga, and myself appeared before
the Oeorgla railroad commission with a
request that they take off the 25 per
cent allonfcd the Louisville and Naah-
virie Railway above the printed tarlfT.
That road haa a monopoly In hauling
marble out of the quarries.
After seeing In The Atlanta Journal a
publication of rates showing that mar
ble rates from Vermont are lower than
rates from North Georgia to points
within Georgia, I met Commissioner
Joseph Brown In Marietta the following
Saturday. After discussing our claim
of discrimination, he stated without
any condition that he would reduce the
rate on marble to Georgia points If the
rates published by The Journal could
h- verified.
This was done, and, at his request,
I came back to his office on Tuesday,
May 09. This rata waa discussed, but
ing to the absence of the other com
missionary no decision was reached.
I met the commissioners at their of
fice Thursday morning, May >1, and,
after discussing the question of dls-
< rlinlnatlon, I stated to the other com
missioners, Mesars. Hill and Stevens,
the reduction Mr. Brown had agreed to
show If the published rates were veri
fied, which was very easily done. Mr.
Hr.nvn still contended that he could
not reduce the rates, but did say he
had requested the railroad people to re
duce the rates to Brunswick and Sa
vannah, which would not have matert
ally helped our serious position.
beelng that Mr. Brown would not
permit these rates to be reduced, even
nfier making the direct promise, I re
fused to join In any further discussion
ami advised that we could not hope to
secure any relief.
In regard to Messrs. HIU and Stev
ens, I want to aay that they have been
Very friendly toward us, and 1 believe
they fully appreciate my position In
ihls matter. The fact that the Ver
mont people can ship marble to our
home town at lees than we can ship to
points within the state. Is a discrimina
tion that should open the eyes of every
manufacturer In Georgia.
I consider It useless to make further
appeals to Mr. Brown to reduce these
rates, will the people at large stand
for such discrimination?

Madrid, Spain, June 1.—The city has
not yet recovered from the shock of
the tragedy of the Calle DelMayor,
and while the program of the celebra
tion Is being carried out, the spirit of
the occasion has been destroyed.
It Is now stated that the lumber
killed by the explosion of the bomb Is
twenty, with, at I east, one hundred
Injured, several of whom It Is expected
will die.
List of the Dead.
Here Is a list of dead, so far aa Is
known:
THE MARCHIONESS OF TOLOSO
AND HER DAUGHTER.
DON ANTONIO CALVO AND HIS
l-VEAR-OLD NIECE.
CAPTAIN BARROS, who command
ed part of the king's escort.
LIEUTENANT REYESIENT.
LIEUTENANT PRENDER0A8T.
SIX SOLDIERS.
A GROOM, who was leading one of
the horses of the royal coach.
General Wayler Injured.
General Weyler waa seriously wound
ed by the bomb explosion and five oth
er prominent personages, who were in
jured are In a dying condition. In
order to allay apprehension, the minis
try has decided to continue the fetes.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
were In a carriage ahead of that occu
pied by Alfonso and his bride. They
were not Injured. King Alfonso will
attend the funeral of the victims of the
outrage and members of the cabinet
anil cortex will also be present
It was stated today that the assas
sin has been captured, and la now In
the Medio Dla police station, and has
made a full confession. The report
can not be verilled, and tha police will
give no Information.
Who Waa the Assassin?
All sorts of stories are current aa to
the Identity of the assassin, and the
origin of the'plot In some quarters, it
Is believed the bomb-thrower was one
of the American group of anarchlsta.
Several daya ago, the authorities re
ceived notice that saveral of the moat
desperate of the anarchlata had de
parted for Europe, and that It waa be-
leved their destination was Madrid.
A close watch was kept for them, but
It Is not known that any of them have
been arrested.
Another story la that the deed was
done by a Russian anarchist, and
Grand Duke Vladimir, who was In the
carriage Immediate!) behind that oc
cupied by the king and queen, waa
thedntended victim. This theory meets
with little credence, however.
Bomb in Bouquet
A (bln strand of electric wire un
doubtedly saved the king and queen
from death. The bomb—a steel sphere
concealed In a bouquet, hurled from an
upper window, struck the wire and re
bounded, exploding In the air. Had
Its descent not been arrested. It would
have struck the royal carriage un
doubtedly.
As It was, the clothes of their majes
ties were stained with blood. The roy
al carriage still stands In the Calle
DelMayor, surrounded by soldiers. It
was amaslng that It was not entirely
destroyed. It Is covered with marks
made by fragments of the bomb.
King and Queen Brave.
The whole city Is spooking of the
coolness and bravery of the king and
queen. They were the only ones of
their Immediate entourage who retain
ed their self-possession.
Immediately after the explosion, his
majesty Inquired what damage had
been done, and sent an Ride to find out
what assistance was needed. At the
same time, he sent another to assure
Princess Henry of Battenberg of the
safety of the queen, her daughter, and
himself.
Queen Deathly Pals.
Queen Victoria was deathly pale, but
smiled courageously. All the king's
thoughts evidently were for her. He
K ited her on the arm and spoke to
r continuously all the way to the
palace.
A rumor had already reached ths
palace, that the king had jisin klllstL
and utter consternation prevailed until
the royal carriage came into view.
Then arose a hysterical ehout of Joy.
On reaching the palace, the queen
broke down completely. But a few
minutes later their majesties appeared
on a balcony smiling end bowing In
answer to the frantic cheers.
Alfonso Offers Thanks.
“I thsnk God,” the king exclaimed,
for Ills protection of myself and
family.”

‘THISFELLOW” CAUSES
LIBEL SUIT FOR $5,000
Chemist Everhart Takes Civil Action Against
State Chemist McCandless Because
of Newspaper Card.
Because Bute Chemist John M. Mc
Candless In a newspaper card referred
to Edgar Everhart, chemist to the sUte
geological survey, as "this fellow,” the
latter has Instituted suit for *5,000 ac
tual and punitive damages against the
state chemist, and thereby another In
teresting chapter has been added to the
recent newspaper card controversy be
tween these men and the officials of.
the Georgia Petroleum Compjny.
On May 25 there appeared In The
Atlanta Constitution the following card,
which Is given In tho Everhart peti
tion as grounds for damages:
Editor Constitution:
My attention has been called to an
advertisement In The Georgian of re
cent date by the Georgia Petroleum
Company, In which It was sUted that
a report on the oil of the company had
been secured from me, as well as oth
ers, and that we all agreed that their
nil was crude petroleum of high grade,
and that the geological conditions are
such as to make It certain that oil ex
ists some 1.600 or 1.800 feet below ths
surface In great quantities. This state-
ment Is wholly unwarranted, and Is
based on the following wlender state
ment of fact: On January 5 HOI, I
wrote one of the genUemen Merested
on receipt of a sample from him as fol
lows: 'Unquestionably there Is a little
oil floating on the surface of the water,
but there Is not a
of the oil to make anythliy Uke an
analysis of It.' I have »> e y* r . h ** rd 11
since, and never even visited the spot.
•In addition, my atuntlon, has been
drawn to the fact that the crftnpany, In
their half page 'ad' In your Sunday Is
sue; quote from Dr. Everhart as 'state
chemist of Georgia.' This Is not the
first time It has been necessary to In
form the public that this fellow Is not
state chemist of Georgia.
"Very truly yours,
"JOHN M. McCANDLESS,
“State Chemist.'
The petitioner calls attention to that
part of the state chemist's .card In
which It Is stated “this Is not the first
time It has been necessary to Inform
the public that this fellow Is not state
chemist of Oeorgla.” It Is alleged that
by Innuendo the petitioner Is charged
with having falsely represented him
self to-be the state chemist. "This fal
low” Is used. It la allaged, to reflect
.on him and expose him to public c
tempt and ridicule, and-was so urn
stood by the readers of ths paper In
which the card appealed. It Is claimed
that the letter of ths stats chemist b)
Innuendo charged the petitioner will
being unworthy of consideration, cour
tesy and confldence, all of which
charges are alleged to he false.
The petitioner states that Jie has
never claimed to be stats chemist, and
that he haa no desire to occupy the
office, 'if there Is such a position."
Dr. Everhart closes his petition by
stating that he Is a graduate of Racine
College, Wisconsin, where he obtained
a master's degree, and latar was given
tha degree of a doctor of philosophy by
the university at Frieburg, Germany.
He avers that he was ' professor of
chemistry In the University of Texas
from 1(84 to 1894, since which time he
has resided In Atlanta.
It Is further alleged by the petitioner
that he has s very large acquaintance
through the country, both of a per
sonal and professional nature, and
these people havs read the card of the
state chemist and he has accordingly
been greatly humiliated.

famous case of Josephine Terranova,
the child bride, tried f»r her life for
the murder of her aunt.JUoncetta Reg'
glo, whom she slew at the same time
she killed her uncle, Ggetano Reggio,
because they had disgraced her.
When the trial was resumed this
morning there were only a few remain
witnesses to call and It wad sail
i will taka only a abort time. To
avoid bringing lbs Jury back tomor
row, Justice Hcott announced that ht
would limit each side to an hour and
half In summing up tho rase, and this
meant that the case would go to the
Jury today.
Not later than tonight, It Is believed,
ths Terranova girl will know her fnts.
The general opinion today Is that the
verdict will be one of acquittal.
Both sides reited at 11:06 o'clock tO'
day. Mr. Palmier!, tha girl's counsel,
at once beganmaklng motions for the
discharge of his client on statutory
grounds.
These motions will probably be i
ruled and the summing up will begin

, Judge and Jury Cry.
Eight of tha twelve Terranova Jurora
were weeping when ox-Judgo Palmlerl
finished his summing up in .the girl's
behalf today. The lawyer himself waa
In tears. Justice Scott hid his eyea
with his hands nnd the sound of sobs
could be heard all over ths court room.
Ths girl was dry eyed.
•This girl can never go hack to her
husband," said Judge Palmlerl In con
clusion. "Tho awful specter of hot
past would haunt her. Two sisters of
charity are waiting outside for your
verdict, and It It sets lier free they will
take her to tho house of God."

GOVERNOR TO NAME
SPECIAL JUSTICES
any. to namk,—* col h—ibt page
For the first time In s number of
yesrs lt may be necessary for ths gov
ernor to appoint special Justices of the
supreme court to preside In s particu
lar case In which regular justices are
disqualified.
This course seems probable In ths
-_is* Involving ths Issue of whether
Richmond county Is entitled to all of
the back taxes accruing from the stork
of the Western Railway of Alabama
held by tha Georgia railroad or tha
equal proportionate distribution of the
taxes to the counties through which
the Georgia posses.
Counties Want Share
The state won It* ess* In the su
preme court s short time ago, and Is
not Interested In this fight. DeKalb.
Rockdale, Newton, Walton. Morgan,
Greene, Taliaferro, Warren, Du file and
Columbia contend that they are enti
tled to a proportionate amount of the
tax, amounting to about *200,0*0.
When the rase was heard before
Judge Pendleton In Pultor. superior
court. Richmond county won on ths
ground that It Is tha horns domicile
of the Georgia railroad, and that per
sona! property Is taxable only In the
home office.
Justices Msy bt Absent.
Ths case came to tha supreme court
and as the rourt Is nearing the rasa
the contending counties ware In con
sultation with Governor Terrell Friday
morning on the Issue thsy expect to
raise for a full bench when this rase
Is called. It Is probable that It will be
reached Saturday.
Chief Justice Fish Is not at sll wall,
and It may be several days before he
can preside; Asaoclate Justice Beck re
ceived s message Friday morning from
Orifiln stating that his father waa qulta
III and he may be-called there at any
moment. It Is understood also that ths
lawyers will contend that Associate
Justices Cobb and Lumpkin are dis
qualified In this esse.
Msy bs Four Vacancies.
If tha Insistence of tha attorneys for
a full bench of six Justices Is mode, and
thsy would he within their rights, three
and possibly four vacancies would ex
ist for the reasons above slated. Gov
ernor Terrell would then name superior
court judges enough to fill the vacan
cies and to sit In this special case only.
