C. Jarrell ofBctating, Continued on Pago Three. Rumors tp the. effect that the 3100, 000 abattoir, which has been proposed by certain local and outside capitalists, will be an arm of the Chicago meat trusts were refuted at the joint aes slon of the special Investigating com mittee and the board of health Tues day afternoon by th* statements of W. H. White, Jr, and J. J. McLen don, who head the enterprise. The meat, Ordinance, which Is both long and drastic, was gone over sec tion by sectloA and adapted, with only a few minor changes. It will be pre sented to council Monday next and there Is no doubt It will be adopted, thus assuring Atlanta meats absolute ly free of all dlseqge and dirt, meats not only pure and wholesome, but of good quality for all times—providing Its terms are enforced. Before the meeting was called to order Messrs. White and McLendon H ere heard from. Mr. White explained that he came before the committee to assure Its members that no outside corporation was Interested In the new enterprise In any way, shape or manner. "Mr. McLendon and I have been connected with Swift A Co..” said Mr. White, “but both of us resigned our positions to engage In business for ourselves. Atlanta presents a line opening, and we have decided to start thRt business In this city, where both of us have worked—that I*. If the city will give us proper protection.” When asked what he meant by prop er protection, Mr, White said: "We do not ask for any special fa vor; the protection I speak of Is the ordinance you are here to consider. Striet rules ars all we want. This will keep out the cheap, fllthy house* and create high-grade competition. We ask for nothing more.” Mr. McLendon was then heard from. "Our Intention Is to make the local meat, that for which tho people will clamor Instead of for the Western meat*. The only way we can do thl* ta to have strlcts-regiintlnns. We mu*t have tho aupport and confldence of the Atlanta people to make a tuccera of this business." Councilman Oldknow asked If It was the purpose of the company to create a monopoly. Mr. McLendon said It was not, that they did not nak for any privileges that would not be given to competitor* and that the new company was not to trust. "It Is ■ to be run on the co-operative plan. We hope to get every local meat dealer Interested In the company, so that he will participate In the benefits and help along the biyiness.” LIFE OF DR. H. P. COOPER WOULD HAVE BEEN 8PARED. Chairman Walter A. Taylor then called the meeting to order. Before the reading of the ordinance Dr. Taylor said it was his belief that Dr. Hunter P. Cooper would still be alive had the proposed ordinance been a law six months ago. "The ptomaine poison which Dr. Cooper got from eating chops was the Indirect cause of his death," said Dr. Taylor. "We can not afford to waste any more time In get ting this law Into effect. Thousand* of live* depend upon clean and whole some meats." Dr. Taylor then read a communica tion from the Cleveland, Ohio, health board, stating that the ordinance MB none too strict and that when the Cleveland laws had been put Into ef fect there was also a cry raised that the little dealer would be put out of business, but that hi* had not been the case, a* there had not been a sin gle abattoir put out of business and that all had yielded to the conditions and were now In flourishing condl tlon. Dr. C. F. Benson, president of the board of health, stated that the same cry hdd been put up when the milk ordinance was flrst made a law, but the results were similar to those In Cleveland—better product, and none of the little dealers out of business.

THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN FIGHT TO RESCUE SA VINGS Failure of Big Trust Concern Causes Sen sation—One Man Owes Co. $£,000,- 000—Was President Hypnotized ? By Trlrata leased Wire. Philadelphia, p a .. Aug. 29.—Tre mendous excitement was caused when It became known that the Resa Estate Trust Company had failed for $7,000,- 000 and thousands of men and women rushed to the bank and fought to get at the paying teller’s window. So great was the struggling that the police reserves from the city hall were called to preserve order. Depositors Throng 8treet. The street in front of the Trust building at Broad and Chestnut streets was blocked early today by a surging mob of depositors and others who had gathered expecting to see trouble. Po lice reserves were powerless to keep traffic moving. The rumor that Frank U. Hippie, president of the company, who had died last Friday had committed sui cide, was verified today. He took laudnaum and while still conscious filled his bath tub with water and was found apparently drowned. Speculation Csuses Crash' The crash was brought about by the speculations entered into by President Hippie with Adolph Segal, promoter of various enterprises which have not been financial successes. Segal alone owes the trust company $5,100,000. The company's liabilities are approx imately $10,000,000, with quick assets of about $$,600,000 and doubtful collat eral of about $8,000,000. Trustee For $86,151,062. In addition, it had about $26,167,682 of trust funds invested and was a hold- corporation securities, under mortgages, and as depository and trustee for the Issues of collateral trust bonds to the amount of $60,483,- 400, a total trusteeship of $86,161,082. The securities are supposed to be safe. Nothing is known of the,,trust funds. A striking feature of the fail ure is the tremendous losses that relig ious and charitable Institutions will suffer. Hippie was a prominent church man and as such was treasurer of numerous Institutions. Churches Msy Lose. It is estimated that the Presbyterian church and allied societies had $1,000, ~ 000 in the wrecked bank. The city of Philadelphia had $300,000 on deposit there and the state of Pennsylvania, $176,000. Hippie being treasurer of the general assembly's board of trustees and many of the trust company's directors and officers being prominent In the church, the corporation had become the finan cial center of the Presbyterian denomi nation In Philadelphia, and was to have received shortly the entire funds of the general assembly, amounting to more than $18,000,000. Was Hippie Hypnotized? It Is asserted today by the friends of the dead president that Adolph Segal exerted a hypnotic Influence over Hip pie In order to hide the real condition of the company and save himself. Hip pie Is said to have resorted to the falsification of his accounts which were accepted as true by the directors, made what Is termed a "double sys tem” of making reports. When the state bank examiner called Desperate Criminal Is Killed at Federal Prison. ties to offset the loans made and when the president made his reports to the directors he would show thsm a bundle of securities and other papers, and along with these he would exhibit the certificate of the bank examiner, which showed that the accounts the examiner had Investigated were correct.

The Republicans condemn the attitude of Solicitor Hammer In the two lynching InrestAratlon* conducted here within the past four years.

Krlder catches It for supposed fidelity to duty (he did not shoot McLendon) and Hammer ta fought because he has not been alert enough. Price says he Is not a candidate. He retires from of fice September I. the result of the factional differences between himself and Blackburn. As a result of what ta believed ta have been a deliberate plan to kill his keeper, Ed Richmond, convicted of train robbery, was shot to death Tuesday afternoon by Guard Pet Fry at th# Federal prison. Richmond was believed to be one of the worst prisoners the authorities at the prison had to handle and. It Is said, has several times since his Incarcera tion, given the guards a great deal of trouble. He was sent to Atlanta In February, 1902, from the Indian Territory, charg ed with train robbery. He was to have served ten years. In the early part of 1901 ho was the leader of a mutiny In the chapel and nn various occasions before and since has given the guards trouble In one way or an other. Tuesday he wa* at work In the shed where for two years he has been cut ting stone for use In the finishing of the prison. He "had It In" for Guard Fry and began In the afternoon to wor- ry him continuously. Finally he went to one end of the shed so often that the guard followed him there to And what was the matter. Went Into th* Box. The place to which he had gone was under the guard box at that end of the shed and the only other guard who wa*. supposed to have been armed was In a similar box at the other end of the building three hundred feet away. Fry. who was on the floor with the prison- era all the time, waa not supposed to be armed and the prisoner lind drawn him to a point where tho rifle of one of the armed guards would be useless. But Fry had a pistol. When Fry ordered him bnck to work the prisoner cursed him and told him he had him Just where he wanted him. IIo advanced on Fry. who attempted to push him back with the curved end of Ills heavy cane. Richmond grabbed this weapon and Jerked It from th# guard's hands. Tried to Brsln Fry. He then attempted to brain Fry. striking several blows at him. Fry tried To avoid killing him and he gave him a fleshwound In the right arm pit. Like a wild animal, with only a few of the hunter's bullets In him, the prisoner only tried the harder to kill the guard. Finally Fry, when he waa In Immediate danger of being killed himself, put a third bullet right above his assailant's heart, killing him almost Instantly. Fry hsd been threatened several times by Richmond, who told him thnt If It waa not for the other guard* he would have been killed long before, and for this reason carried a revolver with, out the knowledge of the inen among whom he worked. Guard Fry waa considered by War den W. H. Moyer to be one of his best men. He has had years of service as a prison guard and waa very cool and self-poassssed In dealing with danger- ous prisoners. He came to Atlanta two years ago from Nnshvllle, Tenn, where h# had for seven years been connected with the Tennessee state penitentiary. If neither the guard nor the prisoner had been armed the odds would prob- nbly been In favor of the latter. He had been at work In the stone shed for two year* and this had made him a powerful man.
