A SUDDEN TURN IN WALL STREET
Harriman Crowd Pulls
Off Sensational
Coup in Stocks.
Hr Private leased Wire.
New York, Aug. 17.—With a sharp
upwnrd swing of 10 points In Union
Pacific and 5 points In Southern Pacif
ic today, leaders In the tremendous bull
movement cleared all the way from
2100,000 to $3,000,000 each.
Amid such excitement on the floor of
the stock exchange as has been equal
led only during the corner In Northern
Pacific live years ago, E. H. Harriman.
It was estimated, won $2,000,000 In two
hours, while King Edward of England,
who has been buying these securities
through his New York representative,
profited to almost the same amount.
The rise In the two railroad stocks
followed Immediately upon the declara
tion of the large dividend of 10 per
cent on Union Pacific and 6 per cent
on Southern Pacific.
No sooner had the news of the divi
dend spread throughout the financial
district than orders to buy Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific flooded the
market. Brokers rushed on to the
floor of the exchange frantic to place
their commission.
In the first moments after the an
nouncement of the dividends, the price
of the stock jumped so swiftly that the
tickers were unable to keep up with
the changes. In the fractions of min
utes the stock shot up; the same frac
tions. It was a sc rankle to buy, buy,
buy.
8horts Flying to Cover.
To add to the bullish sweep that sent
the market soaring, the short Interest,
as It Is called, made the wildest* fight
of all to buy stocks so that they might
cover the sales. It was known that
E. H. Harriman was a big holder of
both Southern and Union Pacific. Of
the former It was stated that he had
acquired 200,000 shares.
King Edward bought through Sir
Ernest Cassell, his New York repre
sentative, and is one of the larges:
holders of the securities. He cleared
$25 a share on his Southern Pacific
and $30 a share on his Union Pacific
stock. Others who made profits were
John W. Oates, James R. Keene, John
D. Rockefeller. William Rockefeller, H.
H. Rogers. James Stillman, Daniel Gug
genheim, Harry Weill, Jacob Field and
William Oliver and Jefferson M. Levy.
The rise in the Union Pacific repre
sented an Increase In the value of the
capitalisation of $20,090,000, while that
In Southern Pacific represented an In
crease in value of $12,(TOO,000.

Despite the order of \he mayor to

ATLANTA CRIPPLES
Dominick Mullaney’s band adminis
tered the second dose of a bitter mix
ture to the Atlanta cripples Friday
afternoon. The first game of a double-
header frisked along until the eighth
with never a mark on the scoreboard
but a double row of ovals, but two
passes and a wild pitch by Childs in
the eighth gave Montgomery a chance
on the bases and Smith's error scored
Perry. '
Maxwell opened the game for Mont
gomery. pitching his first game In sev
eral weeks. He held Atlanta down well,
happily shrdlu shrdlu hrdl hrdlu hrdlu
but gave four bases on balls which un
happily did not result In any profit fo
cripples, who got no further. Childs

hlle Maxwell allowed Sid Smith to
connect Tor two bags, the only hit from
Smith’s forces.

"THEYSHALL NO! BRING
CHILDREN^ ON STREE7S”
“In no way am I against the Institution,’’ said Mayor Woodward Fri
day morning when Interviewed on the subject of the “Memorial Orphan
age.” “As long as the institution Is run In a proper manner I will do all I
van for it. but they shall not bring those little tots out on the streets at
night and use them to create sympathy, so that money may be niised for
carrying on the orphanage. If they need money, Mr. and Mrs. Harwell,
or whoever Is at the head of the institution, should raise it, not the chil
dren.
“Bringing the children out on the streets Is not benefiting them In
the least. It is only teaching them to be beggars and when they are
turned out from the Institution they will know nothing else. Then, I un
derstand, there are some girls getting along in their teens. They should
not be allowed to be brought out on the streets in this manner. It Is for
the children that I have told the police to break up the meeting and not
because of any desire to Injure the Institution.”
When asked what would be done with the children if they were again
brought out, Mayor Woodward said:
“They will be taken back to the Institution, and. If this does not stop
the practice, I will have them taken before the recorder and sent to one
of the state institutions until proper disposition can be made.”
Mayor Woodward states that ’Rev. John R. Gunn, superintendent of
the Georgia Industrial Home at Macon, has offered to take care of the
little ones.

HUNDREDS OF POOR FOLK
BESIEGE BANK IN CHELSEA
70 GET THEIR SAVINGS
tt- Private Leased Wire.
Chelsea. Maas., Aug. 17.—Hundreds
of depositors, for the most part poor
"’irking people and Hebrews, who have
money at risk In the crash In the First
National Bank of Chelsea, are clamor
ing around the Institution this morn
ing The deposits and other liabilities
5f the bank aggregate nearly $1,000,000.
The failure was not generally known
until today, although Bank Examiner
E "er had ordered the Inatltutlon to
tea., hualneaa last night. Until before
! o'clock the examiner and officials of
:, ie hank worked on the hooka. Preil-
ient H B. Hinckley would not dlacusa
h * failure nor would any officer* of
tie bank.
The news of the failure spread over
•’teleea. People flocked to the hank
"tildlng by scores and for a abort time
the scene waa a wild one.
One woman, partly clad and crying
to get at the bank door, waa prevented
by Patrolman Harrison, who tried to
calm her. The woman said that all
the money she had In 'the world was
In the bank.
Large crowds of men, workingmen of
all types, who, ordinarily, would hava
been on the way to work, lingered
about the bank. Many Hebrews were
In the crowd and gathered In groups by
themselves, wildly discussing ths
names of the officials of the bank and
telling of their savings.
The determination to close the bank’,
doors was reported at a special meet
ing of the directors last yesterday.
The United States authorities left
for Chelsea today. All the employees
of the bank were called to the building
last night. The exsmlner began his
work and the ataches of the bank
worked on the book* all night.
On the second floor of the Empire
building a staff of engineers an.I
draughtsmen Is busy with scale and
pencil drawing curves and gradients
and calculating cubic yards. A tired
looking man at the first desk la patient
ly explaining to residents of certain
blocks that they really must move fn
"the railway needs the ground."
As outlined In The Georgian Thurs.
day afternoon, the Atlantu, Binning,
ham and Atlantic railroad Is preparing
to build Its big terminals. The work
will be carried on undef the corporate
name of the Oate City Terminal Com
pany, which wllf control the terminal
property.
So far advanced are the plans for
the terminals that the contract for the
grading and excavatln-r has been let.
Lane Bros. & Company, of Lynchburg,
a well-known contracting firm, will
have charge of this work and the con
tract price for the work Is said to be
more than $600,000.
R. T. McDonald has been appointed
chief engineer of the terminal compa
ny and has arrjved to take charge of
the work. He Is at the head of the
engineering staff which Is ao busy In
the Empire building.
The freight depot of the Atlanta
Birmingham and Atlantic and Sea
board Air Line will be erected west of
the Atlanta Terminal station. It will
contain the freight offices of the com
panies while two long warehouses In
the pear will be used for handling In
bound and outbound freights. The con
tract for this building ha* not yet
been let.
The terminal yards, local freight
tracks and necessary buildings will
cover the ground between Magnolia
and-Nelson streets, practically all of
which Is owned by the Gate City Ter
minal Company. The strip Is about
half a mite long and requires an enor
mous amount of grading. The distrib
uting yards will be located about two
miles from the station near the Inter
section of the Seaboard and Western
and Atlantic roads. The terminal com
pany will assume rontrol of all track
age within this point.
The contracting company will send a
large force of men and a number of
steam shovela to Atlanta within a short
time and actual work will begin. The
contract for the grading calls for It-
completion by June 1, 1907.
