Signal Displayed From City
Tower to Start
Massacre.
St. Petersburg. Sept. 12.—A ruintir
>u In circulation today that Zeenulde
Konoplanlkoyo, the girl who on Au
gust 2* aeeaeelnated General Min at
Peterhoff, wa* executed at daybreak.
She wax sentenced to be hanked Mon
day night. All that can be learned la
that ahe wae tnken out of the fortreaa
of St. Peter and St. Paul this morning
ami placed on board a ship bound for
Schusselburg prison.
Advices received today mostly from
refugees sources unite In giving the
fighting at Slcdlce the. character of an
anti-Hebrew attack. In many cases the
soldiers spared the lives of Jews upon
the payment by the menaced persons
of J2S.' Troops ransacked 200 houses
In Warsaw and made 1,000 arrests,
chiefly of Jews. Some of the prisoners
are mere children.
JEWS WERE SLAUGHTERED
AS RESULT OF PLOT.
London, Sept. 12.—Tlie Times pub
lishes th« following:
"A telegram has been received to
the effect that according to refugees
who have reached Warsaw the dlsord-
' ers at Sledlce were the result of a de
liberately planned program, and the
statement that the trouble arose was
cnused by an attack on a patrol la en
tlrely unfounded.
"The massacre began In two differ
ent remote ouarters of the town ns
s .on as a red light was shown on the
cltv tower. The police were told by
the soldiers not to be afraid, ns their
orders were to kill Jews. All through
the night Jewish houses were fired
upon and later they were plundered.
• "When n deputation, headed by rab
bis went to the commandant and urged
him to give orders to end the blood-
Sbed, he replied that he would not give
an order until the members of the
bun (Jewish socialist organisation, had
surrendered. As this . was Impossible,
the bloodshed continued. Artillery wai
employed, and whole ouarters were de
strayed. The Jews killed and wounded
nmn’ber hundreds.
• The panic Is spreading to Warsaw
and other towns, where the 'Black
Hundred' will carry out Its program In
tli,. ine way, demanding .the surren
der of nil revolutloarlea under threats
of fire and massacre against the
whole population.”
William Jennings Bryan will be, In
Atlanta Heptember 20, as the guest of
the Young Men's Democratic League.
Wednesday morning the following
telegram was received:
"St. Louis, Sept. 11, 1906.
"Lamar mil. President Young . Men's
Democratic League, Atlanta, Go.
"Many thanks for Invitation. Ac
cepted for September 20.
"W. J. BRYAN."
Mr. Hill stated that arrangements
for the reception of Mr. Bryan are now
only in the embryo, but that definite
action would be taken Thursday, when
the finance and the executive commit
tees of the league will hold session.
"If-Mr. Bryan arrives In the morning
he will be taken to one of the hotels;
either the Piedmont or. the Kimball,
fur breakfast," said Mr. Hill. "It Is
probable that he will then be given a
public reception at one of the hotels.
After luncheon he will be taken over
the city, and. It he stays until a late
train, will deliver an address at Pied
mont park. Otherwise (he address will
be scheduled for the afternoon.”
The public reception to be given
his honor will be one of the largest
affairs of the kind ever participated in
by Atlanta, and It Is believed that there
will be an unprecedented crowd to hear
him speak.
It la believed that there will be many
out-of-town admirers, who will gather
to hear him discuss the national Issues.
All the committees In charge of the
arrangements have been appointed '
President Hill. The members are:
Finance Committee—C. O. Hannah,
J. K. Maddox, Charles E. Currier,

Government Troops
Ordered to Take the
Aggressive.
By MANUEL CALVO.
Havana, Hept. 12.—The pruclama
tlun of martial law by President Palma
brings intervention by the United
Stoic* measurably nearer In the Judg
ment of Impartial observers. It haa had
the effect of drawing the lines between
Loyalists and rebels sharply and hoa
sent many prominent men Into the
rebel ranks who were maintaining at
least a semblance of neutrality.
It In openly sluted that the action of
the government was due lo the discov
ery of n plot to throw Havana Into a
state of nnarchy, the conspirators hav
ing planned to kill the horses of all the
tire engines and then to set lire to sev
eral places In the city and at the same
time to attack the palace and loot the
city.
Senator Zssyas Joins Rsbtls.
Secretary of War Montalvo Insist
ed on the declaration of martial law
and the arrest of suspects and had the
support of all members of the com
mand.
Thirteen alleged members of the re-
volt Junta are now under arrest, In
cluding Dr. Mencla, a personal friend
of Jose Miguel Gomes.
Senator Zeayas has Joined the rebels.
The government troops have been or.
dered to assume the aggressive.
It Is reported from Santa Clara
province that General Eaquerra has
joined the rebels and that they have
given him command on the condition
that he attack the city of Ctenfuegoa,
Fighting Is In progress around Clenfue
gos.
Seaport Town Is Looted.
The seaport of Marlet, province of
Plnar del Rio, has been sacked by
band of Insurgents. In the provinces
of Plnar del Rto and Santa Clara the
Insurgents are committing outrages
upon women and looting the email
towns.
A dispatch from Ctenfuegoa to Li
Luclia, says that Brigadier General
Creates Ferrara, with a large band of
rebels, entered the town of Cruces yes.
terday and seised >9,000 that was In
tho town council's safe. The same
band captured a government train asf
obtained $10,000.
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OPPOSED BY SEN LODGE
Boston, Sepl. 12.—Speaking at the have made those men your masters.
annual outing of the Republican county
usaoclntlon of Plymouth nt Nnntucket,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge declared:
"When you place the business agency
of the country In the hands of one man
or group of men at Washington, you
They will control the government per
petually, for It Is not human nature to
resist the power which they would rep
resent. Regulate tho railroads—yee,
control nnd watch over the’great com
binations of rupltal—yes, but take the
railroad property—no."
LOCAL BUTCHERS
ABE IN DANGER OF
Washington, Sept. 18.—Unless At
lanta. Ga., butchers and retail dealer*
In meat get busy within about two
weeks, they will likely have a lot of
trouble. Owing to the negligence of
these men to apply for exemption from
Inspection, to which they are entitled
under the law, the department of ag
riculture anticipates that on October
1 they will tlnd themselves In a serious
position. This will mean, for one
thing, that In many localities the sup
ply of meat will be decidedly limited,
especially where persons living on tho
border of qne state depend upon butch
ers or dealers living In the adjoining
state.
Under the new law retail butchers
and dealers In meat are exempt from
Inspection, but they nrc required to ap
ply to the department for exemption
certificate*. Without these they are
prohibited from Interstate trade.
In order to prevent uny such contin
gency the agricultural department lias
used every means to call the attention
of butchers and dealers to the difficul
ty which will confront them. Hecre-
titry Wilson has published advertise
ments In papers In every state and ter
ritory and has employed men for the
siteclnl purpose of acquainting meat
dealers personally with the fact that If
they do not have the exemption certltl-
cates they cannot transport their prod
uct from one state or territory to an
other.
Up to this time there has been little
response from the men the department
is trying to reach. Not one In ten has
applied, and the general attitude of the
dealers has been, according to the of-
ftclulM of the department, one of ex
treme Indifference.
Nearly every retail dealer In the city
of Atlanta will be affected by the por
tion of the United Htates meat regu
lations on which the foregoing special
is based. The exemption certificates
are only Issued when In the Judgment
►f the secretary of the de|Kirtment of
agriculture the meat which U being
handled by the dealer through Inter
state channels is pure and has been In
spected.
There Is hardly a retail meat dealer
In the city who does not handle other
than home grown meats and all of
these will have to apply for the certifi
cates of exemption.
In doing this proper blanks must be
applied for and filled In telling the ad
dress of the concern, the quantity of
meat handled and from where It la ob
tained as well as numerous other data
of like nature.

The negroes stated that they had

they had worked twenty-three days

DEMANDS THA 7 PA 77EPSON
ANSWER CHARGE OFOWNING
STOCK IN GA. RY.& ELEC. CO.
William M. Smith Sends Red Hot Communi
cation Touching on Gas and Electric
Light Franchise.
t blistering card, Attorney Wil
liam M. Smith, with offtcea at 221-228
Equitable building, calls on Council
man W. H. Patterson to answer the
charge made recently by Alderman
James L. Key to the effect that Coun
cilman Patterson wns a stockholder. Tn
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany. The card Is as follows:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Heptember 8 you published on the
front page of your paper a two-column
communication from Alderman James
Key. Alderman Key charged Coun
cilman W. II. Putterson, of the Eighth
ward, with accepting a position and
serving on the special committee from
council, to Investigate the franchises
of the Atlanta Gas Light Company,
while at the same time .being n part
owner of said company. Alderman
Key's communication seemed to be In
re*t>onse to n letter from Councilman
Patterson, published on the editorial
page of your paper of Heptember 7,
1908. Councilman Patteraon's latter ap-
lieared to have been provoked by an
editorial In your paper of Heptember
r. 1906. •
The charges against Councilman
Patterson, being tn my opinion very
serious, the previous Issues of the 6th
and 7th were Immediately secured and
re-read very carefully. The papers
have been scanned closely In the hope
for an Immediate and complete denial
of any such relationship between Conn,
oilman Patterson nnd the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company.
The writer voted for Mr. Patterson.
... preference to a friend and brother
attorney, with the Idea of giving the
city a business man’s administration.
Personal confluence In both aspirants
existed then and exists now. For. It
would be difficult to convince the
friends of Councilman Patterson that
ha would accept a position ns Judge
and Juror to pass upon hi* own rights,
where the existence of these rights
were the sole Issue. Alderman Ki.
must be mistaken. If so. he has done
Councilman Patterson un injustice and
placed him In an unenviable light be-
lire every cltlsen of Atlanta, thousands
_f whom are behind Alderman Key In
the fight for an opportunity to deter
mine the lights of the city as to Its
franchises.
If the charge were true, the case
would be the City of Atlanta v*. W. H.
Patterson et at., and the Issue for Ju-

ror Patterson to decide would be,
whether a test case should be made,
Involving thouaande of dollars of Juror
Patteraon's money. In any court of the
land, Juror Patterson would b# ex
cused as a matter of law and that "for
cause.’ No lawyer In Christendom
would accept him as a juror. The su
preme i-iiiirt wouM n uv d<vl«.
Ion he should iflake In the trta: of such
an Issue.
The present committee of council Is
analogous to a committing court, and
If Councllmun Patterson were tn an
analogous position In a committing
court, It might bo Judge Patterson de
ciding whether Defendant Patterson
should be tried for murder. The prim
ciplo Is the same. Councilman Patter
son must be perfectly Impartial be.
tween the city of Atlanta nnd the Geor
gia Railway and Electric Compnny and
must have no bias or prejudice either
for or against either party. Can a man
be perfectly Impartial and without
bias or prejudice In the trial of an
Issue where his life or his fortune Is at
•take? Who Is It that could not fore
tell his verdict?
Councllmen K. \V. Martin, F. A. Quil
Man, E. E. Pomeroy and other able rep.
reaentatlves In council, with whom
am personally acquainted, would never
serve on a committee under such cir
cumstances. Hon. Lewis W. Thomas,
Councilman Patterson's opponent In his
race for council, would not, and the
friends of Councilman Patterson refuse
to believe that he has done so. Only
his own statement or much stronger
proof than a simple statement of Buch
a charge can convince them. The
charge against Councilman Patterson
that he has accepted a committeeman's
place while secretly an owner of stock
In the company Interested, calls for a
response from Councilman Patterson.
If anything. It puts him more strongly
on the defensive tban your timely ed
itorial, which provoked a long letter
from him.
-dt Is true that Councilman Patter
son has appeared to light every move
made to determine the rights of the
city and the gas company. Alderman
Key asks why? It does seem that there
no valid reason why the matter
should not be Investigated.
Many hsv* waited to sss what Coun
cilman Pattsrson would say ss to this
charge. He ought to answer. Tho
people want to know. His constitu-
cots who placed him there demand th*
information. Are you. Councilman Pst-
tsrson, the representative of the peo
ple or tho Eighth ward and of the city,
or of yourislf and fellow stockholders?
Answer, are you a stockholder in tho
Georgia Railway and Electric Combany
the Atlanta Gas Light Company?

Spencer, N. C„ Sept. 12.—"I've got

T. Koontx, a well-known employee of
