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.

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. Uhalrmsn Walter A. Taylor slated Wednesday that the abattoir men who PEONAGE CHARGE MADE JY_NEGROES Assert They Were Forced to Work iu Coal Mines.

Qse vQt 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- FLOOR PAINT, Lucas & Lcnow’s in full line colors at the GEORGIA PAINT AND GLASS CO., 40 Peachtree. 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?

A big black ne gro, who afterward gave his name •• "Buster” Helllg, grabbed her by ths arm and attempted to drag her Into the house.

A representative of The Georgian wa* advised by Alderman Key that the charge would be made that Council man Patterson was a stockholder In the Georgia ■ Railway and Electric Company.
