Hon. J. G. Woodward, Mayor, and
Members of City Council, Atlanta.
Honorable Gentlemen: As a citizen
of Atlanta, I take the liberty of ad
dressing you gentlemen to know If I
can enlist your aid In compelling the
Georgia Railway and Electric Company
of our city, a corporation that has no
competition, and one that Is enjoying
undue prosperity, to sell six car tick
ets for 26 cents. This Is the rate at
which street railway companies In
nearly every other large city in the
United States assist those who are de
pendent upon street cars as the only
method of going to and from their
dally work and I see no reason why
the citizens of Atlanta should not en
joy the same privilege. Surely this
"cut-rate" would not throw the Geor-
DUCHHSS OF MARLBOROUGH,
FORMERLY CONSUELO VANDERBILT,
MAY BE VICERENE OF INDIA
By PAUL LAMBETH.
Special Cable—Copyright.
London, Aug. 8.—America Is to fur
nish another vicereine to India If cur
rent talk means anything. The report
seems to have good authority that the
duke of Marlborough Is to succeed Lord
Mlnto as viceroy.
His grace, before his marriage to
Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, of New
York, was no different from scores of
other* of young aristocrats whose main
object in life seemed to be to kill time.
His American wife was not satisfied to
have her husband merely a duke, and
after a while Imbued him with some
share of her own ambition. He began
his public career well down and has
shown much of the Churchill genius
for state affairs. Ho was seriously
considered for lord lieutenant ,f Ire
land by the late government, but wns
considered hardly up to the .mark for
that Important position at the time.
He has grown since then, and It Is
not at all Improbable that he will get
the Indian appointment when Earl
Mlnto’s time expires. He certainly will,
If the efforts of his duchess, who "
no mean politician, avail.
MAN STRANGEL Y VANISHES
AS HE LEA VES HOME TO
JOIN WIFE ON A' VISIT
l asking the railway company to meet
such demand Is perfectly reasonable,
and what they should do, and I think
In the end they would be benefited;
the people would always buy six tick
ets at a time, thereby making It con
venient for the business man, the
working man, the lady shopper and all
turtles concerned. Other cities have
this arrangement. Why not Atlanta?
I trust your honorable body tuny see
lit to take up this matter nj your ear
liest convenience, as It Is one In which
the public Is vitally Interested.
Yours truly,
JAMES U. HORNE.
John Bennett, of 115 Cooper street,
formerly a street car conductor, ha*
strangely disappeared and the police
have been asked to find him.
Bennett left Atlanta on July 11 with
the avowed Intention of joining his
wife, who several days previous had
gons to Hogantvllle on a visit. When
he left he had In his possession a suit
case, containing clothing and other
artlclea.
Although he wrote to his wife a few
days prior to his departure that he
was coming to Hogansvllle and also
told friends of this purpose, he his
neyer arrived there and his wife has
heard nothing further from him.
What has become of the missing man
le a mystery. No one haft been found
who can give any Information concern
ing his present whereabouts.
Friends of Bennett believe hlB mind
suddenly became deranged nnd that
he wnndored away In this condition.
After a thorough search hnd failed to
disclose his whereabouts, It was de
cided to appeal to the police, and this
was done Friday morning. Chief Jen
nings was notified of the disappearance
and of the circumstances nnd he at
once detailed Officer Rowan on the
case. So far, however, no clew has been
obtained.
The case Is one of the most puzzling
with which the local police havo had
to deal In some time.
Beseeched By the Women,
Voters Vindicate Sheriff Shipp
By Private Leased Wire.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 1.—As an Indorsement of the lynching of Ed
Johnson, a negro, a few months'ago, Sheriff J. F. Shipp, who had the man
In custody, has been elected by a majority of from 1,700 to 1,000 votes.
Shipp is under orders to appear before the United States . supreme
court for contempt, as a result of the lynching.
The Republicans, In their campaign against him, tried to avoid the
race Issue, but It would not down, and the reeult shows that practically
the only votes against Shipp were cast by negroes.
One of the features of the election was the part that the white wom
en of the county took in It Almost without exception, they worked for
Shipp, beseeching the m.en of the county to re-elect him as a vindication
of the stand he took In the Johnson case against negro criminals of the
Johnson type.

Continued from Pane One.
llscharged their duty by examining all
witnesses produced by both prosecu
tion and defendant, and nil witnesses
of whom they were Informed who
could throw light on the matter, and
o*t to submit the following:
Report as to Motlvs,
First, as to motive: We desire to
state that we ffnd from the admitted
evidence of witnesses for the prosecu
tion, that the basic promulgation un
derlying this whole matter Is due to
the pending of a bill In the legislature
of this state, seeking to prevent specu-
•?k! nn , or gambling In cotton futures
lilV'" evidenced by the fact that
neither the bucket snop or so-called le-
rtlmate exchanges moved In this mdt-
er until the 24th of July, 1908, while
the transaction with which Mr. Cheat
ham Is charged, took place In March,
end moved them, only after the asso-
,? nd ll " ° mc « r « so strongly
backed the above referred to legists-
}'™ lll ln f «L nearly all the witnesses
wi,K h ' Prosecution, and all of them
n«-«.a PrQbably on ® exception, either
owned an Interest In a wire houso or
bucket xhop, or wax an employee of
the one or the other, admitted that they
would never have exposed nor ap
peared against Mr. Cheatham but from
the fact of hi* having taken such a de
cided atand for such legislation, and
we t respectfully submit that the
charges made nnd the necessity for
Investigating the acts of an officer or
employee of this association, Is within
Itself n strong reason for the eradica
tion of speculation In cotton futures,
and the strongest of reasons for the
passage of such legislation.
Speculation a Curse.
So far as speculation In cotton fu
tures Is concerned, we do not believe
that It makes any difference whether
It Is through bucket shops or so-called
legitimate exchanges, feeling as we do
that It Is one of the greatest curses
placed In the path of the Southern cot
ton growers and any allied Southern
interest. It was these allied Interests
which organlxed the Southern Cotton
Association: It Is they that must main
tain It for their future prosperity.
There Is no prohibition against any
nffleer or offfeers or members of the
Southern Cotton Association trading
for themselves or others In cotton fu
tures, but we, your committee, believe
a* our states have to establish rules of
jaw because of public policy, It Is the
soundest public policy that this asso
ciation condemn In the strongest lan
guage possible dealing In futures for
themselves or others on the part of an"
officer or officers or employee* of tht
association, or being In any way by the
owning of stock or otherwise Interested
In any concern dealing In cotton fu
tures, buying or selling same.
8trong Condemnation. •
Mr. Cheatham, the secretary, having
admitted to your committee such deal
ing In the name of and for Michael
O’Orady and P. A. Lee, comes within
this rule, and such action on his part,
while an officer of this association,
meets our strongest disapproval and
condemnation. Your committee further
find no reasonable excuse for or reason
for the use of, by him, of the word
"secretary" after hi* name, signed to
checks' In the traneactlona, but be
lieve It to have been misleading and a
wrong agatnit the association, whose
secretary he was, and this meet* the
same disapproval andf condemnation is
above; applying this same rule to Mr.
A. A. Fairchild, an employe* of this as
sociation, to r he was unquestionably
no more, no less, w* make the same
finding as to him.
Believing that this committee has no
further authority than as above set
forth, we respectfully submit to you.

MILITARY DICTATORSHIP
PLANNED BY NICHOLAS
Continued from Bag* One.
While It Is announced that the ac
tual revolt at Helsingfors and In the
Island fortifications of the Inlet has
been stopped, the last news from that
progress between members
rlous revolutionary sympathisers, and
that a number of the ships at Hel
singfors are really In the hands of the
mutineers.
8*rious Trouble Feared.
They Insist that even In the event ot
the troops having regained control of
the fortifications, no claim has been
made by the government that the Vis-
trail, Puakur, Rabotschl, Ingenler and
Mars craws have either been subdued
or surrendered.
It Is pointed out that In the event of
the Asia reaching the Islands near Hel
singfors serious trouble for the gov
ernment must begin.
In St. Petersburg the situation Is
tense. To all Intents and purposes the
town Is under martial law. In fact,
that report Is being circulated among
revolutionary societies that th* esar
has turned the empire over to the
Grand Duke Nicholas. This mean* a
military dictatorship. A statement of
this kind, whether official or not. Im
mediately Inflamed the popular mind.
Three Fire* Raging.
Three great fires now raging In the
city add to the general excitement. One
of the fires Is on Vastlll Ostrova and
two others In the direction of the Narva
gate. Each Is thought to be th* work
of revolutionaries.
A message from Moscow says that an
attempt was mad* yesterday to blow
up the Island headquarters of the po
lice, but that It was not successful. An
Infernal machine of the clockworks va
riety had been hidden In a laundry
basement. Had It not been for th*
ticking of the machine Its purpose
could not have failed.
On* Mutiny 8qu*lohed. ,
There Is rejoicing In government cir
cles over the defeat of the mutiny on
board the Pamyat Axova. Th* war
ship Is In the roadstead at Reval, and
the members of the mutinous crew are
In Irons. A courtmartlal has been or
dered, and they will be tried at once
and executed.
Loyal men on the Pawyat regained
control of the ship at sea after th*
captain and four officers had been
killed. When the ship reached Reval
a detachment of troops was called for,
three mutinous officers wire put In
Irons and the hostile crew disarmed.
To Call Llnevltch.
Notwithstanding the capture of the
mutineers on the Pamyat, very disqui
eting reports from Reval, to tho effect
that there la a serious uprising In the
town, are current.
One report today says that General
Llnevltch, who had command of th*
Russian forces In Manchuria, will be
put In charge of the army at home,
with the hope of restoring something
like proper discipline In the ranks.
Too Damp for Czsr.
Along the Finnish railroad from this
city to Vlborg troops have been: sta
tioned at each depot. Every port and
seaboard hamlet Is also In the hands
of the army.

Guyamae, Mexico, Aug. 1.—The hot-
est Indian battle that has taken place
In Sonora for some months, was fought
last Friday and Saturday In a remote
mountain section back of Las Guya
slmas, according to an army messen
ger, who arrived In this place last
night.
Seven Mexican soldiers. Including
Sergeant Carlos. R. Robles, of tho Na
tional Guards, were slain In the two
dnys' battle while the Yaquls left be
hind a Bcore ot dead and many wound
ed, the latter being now held as pris
oners.
Had Looted Ranches.
Learning that a band of Indians
numbering from 75 to 100 had been
looting ranches and smalt towns. Colo
nel Juan J. Navarre, of the Twentieth
battalion of Notional Guards, who hap
pened to be In Las Guyaamaa, dla-
I'lit'ii.vl Lieutenant Colonel Jose Co
rona and two companies to the scene
of the outrages. '
They found that the redskins had
bean warned of thslr approach, and
hnd taken up a strong position In the
Neveller lillls. Although the Mexicans
far outnumbered tht Yaquls, the lat
ter had the ndvnntaga because of their
almost Impregnable position.
Then 8neaked Away.
Colonel Corona wits confronted with
the problem of whether It was wise to
atarve'out the Indians and send for
reinforcements, or attempt to dislodge
them. After concentrating his men he
determined on the latter course, and on
Friday morning the onslaught began.
The savages were well supplied with
arms and ammunition and successfully
warded off repeated attacks. Dui'
Friday night the Indians abanda
their position. The Mexicans did not
discover their flight until they went to
the attack Saturday morning.

Slayer Says Victim Wanted

Again.
l MY HUSBAND IS A MURDERER;
' \ WANT IT PUT IN THE PAPER”
A woman apparently about 10 years
of age, followed by two little girls,
walked Into the office of The Georgian
Friday morning and asked to seo the
city editor.
When she had seated herself she
said:
"My husband Is a murderer. I want
you to put It In the paper. He has
driven me away from home, and I want
the people to know that he murdered a
convict In South Carolina aeven years
ago."
She spoke without a trace of emo
tion. In a matter-of-fact voice.
‘He left me Tuesday," she contin
ued, "and went to the home of his
mother In, Cobb county. They tell me
he la now living In DeKalb county. I
live In Fulton county, near South
river."
She then gave her husband’s name
and her maiden name. Any officer of
the law may secure them from Th#
Georgian.
"I married him seven years sgo.
About two weeks after we were mar
ried he told me one night:
“ 'If anybody comes here and asks
for Andrew Jackson, you tell 'em ha
don't live here.'
'What he said worried me a whole
loL and I kept after him. After a while
he told me he had killed a convict In
South Carolina. He said the detectives
got after him and he ran away. Then
they almost caught him and he knocked
one off a trestle and got away.
“After that he was always afraid
they would get him.
• "When he ran away Tuesday he took
his three children with him and left
our two children with me.
“Since he has deserted me I want the
people to know that he Is a murderer,"
sbo said In conclusion.
Her voice had never varied, had
never Indicated the sllghtes of feeling.
But as she walked out she began to
cry softly.
