Friday afternoon mailed to the mayor
and city council of Atlanta a commun

pressed by the number of courtealea

vail here.
• In Washington there la probably as
line a atreet car system aa can be
found anywhere In the country. Two
companies compete for public favor,
and the feature of the ayatem Is the
Interchangeable tickets which are sold
at a reduced rate In quantities and
ire good on either road. Other large
cities find a reduced rate ticket la ad
vantageous to both the public and the
street car companies and many cities
have ordinances requiring- the com
panles to sell these tickets to the pub
•T sincerely hope that the city coun
cil will see fit to take up the matter at
once In order that the public may get
the benefit aa soon as possible. The
aggregate amount which each person
who Is obliged, to use the street- car
several times daily would save .with a
reduced rate will amount to a surpris
ing sum at the end of the year."
This Is the letter which Mayor
Woodward received Friday afternoon
and which he ordered sent to the coun
cil for action:
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 3, 1906.
Hon. J. O. 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 dor 25 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
method
dally work and I see no reason why
the citizens of Atlanta should not en
joy the same privilege. Surely this
asking the railway company to meet
such demand Is perfectly reasonable,
and what they should do, and 1 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
parties concerned. Other cities have
this arrangement Why not Atlanta 7
1 trust your honorable body %nay see
fit to take up this matter at your ear
liest convenience, as It Is one In which
the public Is vitally Interested.
Yours truly,
JAMES U. HORNE.

discharged their duty by examining all
witnesses produced by both prosecu
tion and defendant, and all witnesses
of whom they were Informed who
could throw light oq the matter, and
beg to submit the following:
Rsport as to Motive.
First, as to motive: We desire to
•tste that w* find from the admitted
evidence of witnesses for the prosecu
tion, that the basic promulgation un
derlying this whole matter Is due to
the lending of a bill In the legislature
of this state, seeking to prevent speck-
jatlon or gambling In cotton futures.
This Is evidenced by the fact that
neither the bucket shop or so-called le
gitimate exchanges moved In this mat-
ter until the 21th of July. 190«, while
the transaction with which Mr. Cheat
ham Is charged, took place In March,
•nd moved them, only after the aaso-
clatlon and It* officers so strongly
backed the above referred to legisla
tion. In fact, nearly all the witnesses
■or the prosecution, and all of them
with probably one exception, either
owned an Interest In a wire house or
DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH,
FORMERLY CONSUELO VANDERBILT,
MAY BE VICERENE OF INDIA
By PAUL LAMBETH.
Special Cable—Copyright.
London, Aug. I.—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 la to succeed Lord
Mlnto aa viceroy.
HI» grace, before hla marriage to
Mias Consuelo Vanderbilt, of' New
York, waa no different from scores of
others of young aristocrats whoaeemaln
object In life seemed to be to kill time.
Hts American wife waa not satisfied to
have her husband merely a duke, and
after a while Imbued him with some
share of her own ambition. He bei
hla public career well down and
shown mych of the Churchill genius
for state affairs. Hs was seriously
considered for lord lieutenant of Ire
land by the late government, but was
considered hardly up to the mark for
that Important position at the time.
He has grown since then, and It
not at all Improbable that he will ge;
the Indian appointment when Earl
Mlnto's time expires. He certainly will,
It the efforts of his duchess, who '
no mean politician, avail.
MAN STRANGELY VANISHES
AS HE LEAVES HOME TO
JOIN WIFE ON A VISIT
John Bennett, of 115 Cooper street,
formerly a street car conductor, has
strangely disappeared and the police
have been asked to find him.
Bennett left Atlanta on July 21 with
the avowed Intention of Joining his
wife, who several days previous had
gone to Hogansvllle on a visit. When
he left he had In his possession a suit
case, containing clothing and other
articles.
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 has
never arrived there and his wife hss
heard nothing further from him.
What has become of the missing msn
Is a mystery. No one has bean found
who can give any Information concern.
Ing hla present whereabouts.
Friends of Bennett believe his mind
suddenly became deranged and that
he wandered away In this condition.
After a thorough search had failed tr
disclose his whereabouts, it waa de
elded to appeal to the police, and this
was dons Friday morning. Chief Jen
nings was notified of the disappearance
and of the circumstances and he at
once detailed Officer Rowan on the
case. So far, however, no clew has been
obtained.
The case Is one of the most puszllni:
with which the local police have had
to deal in some time.
Beseeched By the Women,
Voters Vindicate Sheriff Shipp
By Private Leased Wire. ,
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 2.—Aa an Indorsement of the tynohlng 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 2,000 votes.
Shipp Is under orders to appear before the United States suprsms
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 result 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 men of the county to re-elect him as a vindication
of the stand he took In the Johnson caae against negro criminals of the
Johnson type. .
bucket shop, or was an employee of
the one or the other, admitted that they
would never have exposed nor ap-
jeqred against Mr. Cheatham but from
he fact of his having taken such a de
cided stand for such legislation, and
we respectfully submit that the
charges made and the necessity for
investigating the acts of an officer or
employee of this association. Is wlthm
Itself a strong reason for the eradica
tion of speculation In cotton futures,
and the strongest, of reasons for the
passage of such legislation.
Spsoulation a Curst.
So far as speculation In cotton fu
tures Is concerned, we do not believe
that it makes any difference whether
ts through bucket shops or so-called
legitimate exchanges, feeling aa we d6
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 organised the Southern Cotton
Association; It Is they that must main
tain It for their future prosperity.
There Is no prohibition against any
officer or officers or members of the
Southern Cotton Association trading
for themselves or others In cotton fu
tures, but we. your committee, believe
as our states have to establish rules of
law because of public policy, It la the
soundest public policy that this asso
ciation condemn In the strongest lan
guage possible dealing In fuikres for
themselves or others on the part of any
officer or officers or employees of this
association, or being In any way by the
owning of stock or otherwise Interested
In any concern dealing In cotton fd-
tures, buying or selling same.
Strong Condemnation. •
Mr. Cheatham, the secretary, having
admitted to your committee such deal
ing Ift the name of and for Michael
O'Grady 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 his name, signed to
checks In the transactions, but be
lieve It to have been misleading and a
wrong agalnit the association, whose
secretary he was, and this meets the
same disapproval and condemnation as
above; applying this same rule to Mr.
A. A. Fairchild, an employee of this as
sociation, fo r he was unquestionably
no more, no less, we 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.

While It Is announced that the ac
tual revolt at Helsingfors and In the
Island fortifications of the Inlet has
been stopped, the lost news from that
city was that street fighting was In
program between members of the va
rious revolutionary sympathisers, and
that a number of the shlpe at Hel
singfors are really In the handa of the
mutineers.
Serious Troublt Feared.
They Insist that even In the event of
the troops having regained control of
the fortification*, no claim has been
made by the government that the VIs-
trell, Puskar, Rabotschl, Ingenler and
Mars crews 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 alt Intents and purposes the
town Is under martial law. In fact,
that report Is being circulated among
revolutionary societies that the esar
has turned the empire over to the
Grand Duke Nicholas. This means a
military dictatorship. A statement of
this kind, whether official or not, Im
mediately Inflamed the popular mind.
Three Fires Raging,
Three great fires now raging In the
city add to the general excitement. On*
of the fires Is on Vasllll Ostrova and
two others In the direction of the Narva
gate. Each Is thought to be the work
of revolutionaries.
A.measige from Moscow says that an
attempt was made yesterday to blow
up the Island headquarters of the po
lice, but that It was not nucceesful. An
Infernal machine of the clockworks va
riety had been bidden In a laundry
basement. Had It not been for the
ticking of the machine Its purpose
could not have failed.
On* Mutiny Squelched.
There Is rejoicing In government cir
cle* over the defeat of the mutiny on
board the Pamyat Asova. The war
ship Is In the roadstead at Reval, and
the members of the mutinous crew are
In Irons. A courtmsrtlsl 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 the
captain and four officers had been
killed. When the ship reached Reval
a detachment of troops was called for,
three mutlnoj* officers were put In
irons and the hostile crew disarmed.
To Call Llnevitch.
Notwithstanding the capture of the
mutineers on the Pamyat, very disqui
eting reports from Reval. to the effect
that there Is a serious uprising In the
town, are current.
One report today says that General
Llnevitch. who had command of the
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 Czar.
Along the Finnish railroad from thlo
city to Vlborg troops have been sta
tioned at each depot. Every port and
seaboard hamlet la also In the hands
of the army.

SEVEN MEXICANS
FALL IN BATTLE
AGAINST INDIANS
Fight Covers Two Days and
, Follows Looting
of Rauches.
By Trlrate Leased Wire,
Guyamas, Mexico, Aug. ».—The hot-
est Indian battle that has taken place
In Sonora for some months, waa fought
last Friday and Saturday In a remote
mountain section back of Las Guya-
almas, according to an army messen
ger, who arrived In thla place last
night.
Seven Mexican soldiers. Including
Sergeant Carlos R. Rtiblee, of the Na
tional OOards, were slain In the two
days* battle while the Yaquts left be
hind a score of dead and many wound
ed, the latter being now held os pris
oners.
Had Looted Ranches.
Learning that a band of Indians
numbering from 76 to 100 had been
looting ranches and small towns. Colo
nel Juan S. Navarre, of the Twentieth
battalion of National Guards, who hap
pened to be In Las Guyssmas, dis
patched Lieutenant Colonel Jose Co
rona and two companies to the acene
of the outrages.
They found that the redskins had
been warned of their approach, and
had taken up a strong position In the
Noveller hUls. Although the Mexicans
far outnumbered thi Yaquls, the In
ter had the advantage because of their
almost Impregnable position.
Then Sneaked Away..
Colonel Corona wits confronted with
the problem of whether It waa wise to
etarve 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. Durlm
Friday night the Indiana abandons
their position. The Mexicans did not
discover their night until they went to
the attack Saturday morning.
HUSBAND KILLS
OF
“MY HUSBAND IS A MURDERER;
1 WANT IT PUT IN THE PAPER”
A woman apparently about 20 years
of age, followed by two little girls,
walked Into the office of The Georgian
Friday morning and asked to eee the
city editor.
When she had seated herself she
*alt\:
"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 seven 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 Is now living In DeKalb county. I
live In Fulton county, nenr South
river."
She then gave her husband’s name
and her maiden name. Any officer of
the law may secure them from The
Georgian.
"I married him seven years ago.
About two weeks after we were mar
ried he told me one night:
"‘If anybody cornea her* and oaks
for Andrew Jackson, you tel| 'em he
don't live here.'
"What he said worried me a whole
lot, 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 tvas 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,"
ahe said In conclusion.
Her voice had never varied, had
never Indicated the sltghtes of feeling.
But ns she walked out she began to
cry softly.

New York, Aug. 3.—The sudden'
change In the attitude of Mrs! William
Thaw, mother or Harry K. Thaw, and'
her decision that her son was right In
Inflating upon going to trial with the
"unwritten law" as his defense for
shooting Stanford White, was due, it
was learned today, to amoslnr reve
lations made by Evelvn Mesblt Thaw. »
The young wife, determined to sac-r
rifle* herself to save her husband from
the electric chair, told her mother-tn-
Inw fact* concerning her relations with.
Stanford White, which convlrn ed t tie
elder woman that Thaw was Justified
In killing the architect, and that a Jury
would acquit him upon hearing thi*
etory told by the beautiful young wom
an on the witness stand.
Hartridge Is Elated. •
Clifford W. Hartridge, Thaw's coun
sel, said today that the testimony "f
Evelyn Neablt Thaw would be the mn*t
Important.offered by the defense; that
he was satisfied It would save Thaw
from the chair. So well satisfied »a*
Hartridge today that he said ho was
ready to go to trial at any time.
It was at a conference of the relatives
on last Tuesday at the home of George
L. Carnegie, at Roslyn, L. I., that the
young wife told the story that con-
viaced them all that Harry Thaw was
wise In refusing to consent to Infinity
a. a plea. There were present nt thl#
conference Mr*. William Thaw, .Mr. and
Mrs. George L. Carnegie and Evelyn
Neablt Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw Gives In.
The exact nature of the revelations,
nf course, cannot be made public be
fore the trial, but It was aald todnv
that they changed the entire aspect of
the case. It was news to the ng-d
mother of the prisoner, and she accept -
1 It eagerly, and saw In It hope of
ivlng her boy.
At the close of the conference Mrs.
Thaw, now satisfied that her son could
plead Justification nnd win, wrote the
etter dismissing her lawyers. Iilmk,
Olcott, Gruber 9t Boyngne, and direct
ing them to turn over all papers to
Hartridge.
Blnce then Harry Thaw has been In'
