TO CHECK ALL BAGGAGE
IN A UNIFORM MANNER
l.-B, FIRE COMPANY
DID NOT DENY CLAIMS
'i-.ldent J. T. Ikirgan of the Atlsnta-
iiiliw-bam Fire Insumnre Company of
- city hits written an open letter to the
aiinnce Field of Dullsville, which sets
th In nnntlstaknhle terms the falsity of
• rumors that the eumnanr had en.
e.t a dental of general liability under
di reutrarta In force In California during
> recent disaster In Han Francisco nnu
In. eut. territory.
President Charles A. Wlckersham, of
the Atlanta Terminal Company, an
nounced before hla departure for Chi
cago Tuesday evening that upon hla
return, on July 6, he would Immediate
ly proceed to establish a uniform sys
tem of checking of baggage at the
terminal station, In order to do away
with the present unpleasantness which
•xlbts In that branch uf tha terminal
business. In order to do that. It. Is
thought likely that the company will
adopt the checking ayatem In vogue
In all large cities In the country, the
same to take effect on July IS.
If the Idea Is carried out, each and
every baggage company and Indi
vidual drayman In Atlanta will be
given equal right* In handling baggage
ut the terminal. Each piece of bag
gage which la delivered tb the station
will be entitled to a claim check, which
the company delivering the bnggage
will give to the party sending the bng
gage to the station. No piece of bag
gage will be delivered or checked to
destination without thla claim check,
and (hla wllk be an Iron-clad- rule,
which wllf -not be violated under any
con«lde¥atlfm.
Thla system Is in vogue: In all the
larger cities of the country, and has
proven to be the only practical solu
tion of the baggage problem. The coy-
stolen, nnd will be welcomed by • the
attaches of the station, as well as by
the traveling public, who understand
the condition nf affairs.

For the-purpose of still further In
creasing the efficiency of the baggage
department at the Terminal station and

Heyward la having a private offlee
constructed for hla use at a convenient
locution within the enclosure devoted
to the purposes of the deportment.
< By the establishment of the new of-
Ace Mr. Heyward will be In n position
to personally take up any grievances
with the public which may arise from
lime to time and will nlao be able to
overlook the work of hie many em
ployees. By being In closer touch with
the public he will be able to greatly In
crease the efficiency of the present
baggage system.
STRANGER, CRAZED BY “DOPE,”
FOUND WANDERING IN STREETS
A slave to both morphine and co
caine, I. M. Heath, a telegraph operator,
apparently II years of age, arrived In
Atlanta from Birmingham early Tues
day night and for hours wandered
about over the streets of the city In a
half erased condition.
He was seen by several people act
ing queerly In the streets nnd several
calls were sent to the police station con
cerning him.' He was Anally found by
Roundsman Sergeant Poole about day
light Wednesday morning In I'apllol
avenue. Just beyond Georgia avenue,
and was taken Into custody.
As Sergeant Poole was taking the
prisoner to a signal box to summon the
patrol wagon, he met Call Officer*
Dunton and Galtaher, who were also on
a hunt for the erased man.
Heath was later arraigned before Re
corder llroylcs nnd was bound over on
the charge of vagrancy and sent to the
Tower, where he will be treated for the
drug habit. The court thought that by
placing Heath In the Tower he might
be cured.
Heath protested against this action,
exclaiming:
“Judge, please don't send me to Jail
where I can't get drug. If you do I'll
die. I can't Hand to be without It.”
Heath elated that he had been ad
dicted to the drug habit for a number
of years. He has a brother In Valdosta
and said he waa en -route from Bir
mingham to the home of hla brother.
