WILL JET HEBE
Will Protest Against the
Changes Proposed in
Postal Laws.
■The annua! convention of the South
ern Trade Press Association, a mutual
organization of publishers of South
ern trade atjd class papers, will be helij
at the Piedmont Hotel on Friday and
Saturday of this week, the first ses
sion to be called to order at 10 o'clock
Friday morning In the convention hall
,,f the Piedmont by President Harry E.
Harman, of Atlanta.
The Southern Trade Press Associa
tion was organized a little over one
year ago, Its object being mutual pro
tection and profit. Nearly every pub
lisher of a trade paper ir\ the Southern
Mates Is a member of the association
and the importance of the matters to
be considered at this meeting will bring
nearly every member together.
A determined plan of action against
the increase In the newspaper postage
rate Is to have attention and delegates
will be appointed to go to Washington
when the bill comes before the congress
for action. Delegates are to be ap
pointed to the National Trade Press
Association, which meets in Niagara
Falls next month, and other matters of
importance are to be acted upon.
Because of the Importance of the
postage bill which has been Introduced
into congress and the effect which the
payment of eight cents per pound on all
second class matter would have upon
the publishers of the newspapers of the
country, all newspaper publishers have
been invited to attend the sessions of
the association and join in the discus
sion of the matter. Delegations from
nearly every press association In the
South will also be present for this pur
pose.
FICE HOLDS
FAMILY AT
Were Locked Up in House
for Four or Five
Hours.
A mad dog, a small flee, kept an
entire family behind locked doors for
four or five hours Wednesday after
noon. A call was received at the police
headquarters asking that an pfficer he
sent to 410 Simpson street, where the
small dog, made vicious by the rabbles,
was running at large in the yard. Of
ficer Hood mounted a wheel and rode
hastily to 410 Simpson street, the resi
dence of J. B. Stamps.
When he arrived on the scene he
walked up on the porch, pistol in hand.
He rang the bell and a voice from in
side Inquired If that was the pollce-
mnn who had oome to kill a mad dog.
Officer Hood replied that It was. The
door was unlocked and the officer told
where he might find the animal.
The officer stated this morning that
when he came upon the beast it was
running around the different yards on
Simpson street gnawing the turf, bit
ing the trees and rolling over In somer
sault fashion. The dog was killed and
the doors of 410 Simpson street were
unlocked.

Bristol, Tenn., Aug. 16.—The Demo
cratic congressional convention of the
Ninth Virginia district is being held
in Bristol tdday. There is a large and
enthusiastic attendance. It has been
practically decided among the delegates
that Former State Senator Robert P.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 16.—This
morning the delegate body of the for
tieth national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic was called
to order by Commander-In-Chief Tan
ner.
The morning session was largely
taken up with work of the committee
on credentials and the annual report of
the commander-ln-chief will come late
In the morning session or early in the
afternoon..
The canteen question for the Sol
diers’ Home Is almost certain to he
brought up and the question of taking
some action about the monument to
Wire will also be a subject that will
cause excitement If it Is allowed to
come before the encampment.
It is hardly expected that the ejection
of officers will be reached today.
Should business at the afternoon ses
slon be light, the first ballot for com
munder-ln-chlef may be taken, but It
is more likely that all voting will be
postponed until tomorrow.
It looks like R. D. Brown, of Zanes
ville, Ohio, will be the next comman-
derdn-chlef. Atlanta, CJa., Is the latest
bidder for the next encampment, but
Saratoga will probably land it.

AS TO STANDINGS.
Through n slight but unfortunate error
The Atlanta GeorgRin’* standing of the
Southern League teams went one game
astray Wednesday. Little Bock was
credited with one game which the Trav
elers had won, which was rather 11 shame,
since the Little Rock crowd has wo;
few.
In nn attempt to catch the error, the
writer browsed through a bunch of South
ern League papers. He found .the follow
ing had Incorrect standings for that day:
The Atlanta Constitution, The Atlanta
Journal, Th£ Atlanta News, The Arkansas
Gnsette, The Birmingham Age-Herald, The
Montgomery Advertiser, The Montgomery
Journal and The Birmingham News. IIow
many others were wrong, the writer
not know. He rnug off at that, found
the mistake in The Georgian’s standing,
and corrected It. The Georgian’s Houthert
League standing will be found correct,
as usually happens.

the court objected.
"How long have you bfeen In the
brokerage business?” came next.
"Three years,” was the reply.
‘.'How many people a day come in
your shop?"
"About one hundred," replied the
pawnbroker, "but before you question
me further I wish to say that only
one red-headed man In 5ft0 comes to
my shop, and It’s easy to Identify
them."
The case was made by Officers

found by Detective Spradlin, anti
In the watch was the name of one of
women, Laura Weston.

at a conference Thursday morning am

They agreed on an assessment of

the original returns were submitted the

GOTHAM BUCKET SHOPS
ABE TO BE SMASHED
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 16.—Throngs of men
ami women interested In the crusade
against bucket shops, gathered In the
police court of the Tombs today when
the prisoners taken In the recent raids
were arraigned. This Is the first big
sweeping attack against the bucket
shops of New York.
in a raid ordered by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan and made per
sonally by Detective Sergeant Convllle,
four tnen have t»e»*n taken Into custody
being directors of the John A.
Boardman Company of Philadelphia,
ith branch offices in New York.
8ay At. Adams Is Backer.
Of the four prisoners, Frederick
Bloomfield, James Stock well, George
J. Turner and William H. Llftls, the
district attorney's office points out that
Turner and Lillis are the original mem*
of the notorious Haight &
Freeze Company.
Hard upon this comes the news that
the police are making a close Investi
gation of "M. J. Sage & Company," a
firm of "bankers and brokers" in this
ity, who a writer In a magazine has
flatly accused not only of running a
bucket shop, but of being In name
?ly a covering for the operations
>f the notorious former policy king, Al.
Adams.
Is Sophia Bsck in Gams?
It Is declared that Adams' wealth
backs the enterprise, and that a term
in state's prison has hud no salutary
effect upon the man whom the judge
v ho sentenced him declared him to be
the meanest man In New York."
The police believe Sophia Beck, the
Queen of the Confidence Men," smart,
unscrupulous, wonderful Sophia Beck
who has revelled in wealth, been re
duced to poverty and then been In
swindling schemes and forced her way
back to wealth again, time and again,
in her life, is mixed up with the game.
She Is still In her thirties and a w«m-
in of especial beauty and fascination.
