SPORTING EXTRA The Atlanta Georgian. SPORTING EXTRA VOL. 1. NO. 125. ATLANTTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1906. -DTJTr'TT.. On Train* FIVE CENTS. JrKHjili I In Atlnnta TWO CENTS. OUR PLATFORM—The Georgian stands for Atlanta owning its own gas and electric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60c with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street railways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they cannot be so operated here, but we do not believe it can be done now, and it may be some years before we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW. U. S. ARMY TO INVADE CUBA IF PEACE IS NOT DECLARED BY OCT. 11 Generals Barry and Duvall Are Or dered Home. TBREE BATTLESHIPS SENT TO HAVANA j Washington, Sept. 19.—Active preparations for an invasion of Cuba by an army of the United States are being made by the war department. Brigadier General Fred Funston, the hero of the Spanish and Philippine war, has been selected by the president to command any army which may be sent to Cuba and Brigadier Gen eral Thomas H. Barry, assistant chief of staff, and W. P. Duvall, who commands the department of the gulf, both of whom are now in Germany attending the German army maneuvers, have been cabled to come home immediately for pos sible duty in Cuba.

It is stated by high authority that October 11 is the limit which has been set by the president for an amicable agreement by the warring parties of Cuba. If peace is not established by then it is probable that powerful military arid naval forces will be sent by this country to Cuba to force the Cubans to return to peaceful liv ing.

Hong-Kong, Sept. 19.—The horror of yesterday's disaster grows steadily. That the death list wilt reach beyond 1,000 seems certain. At least twelve chips were eunk at their moorlnge, double that number were driven ashore and few craft In the harbor escaped e damage. _he number of water craft which were destroyed Is past estimating. The recession of the great wave which did a great part of the damage to the ship ping undoubtedly carried many bodies ea. The loss of life will never be ascertained with any degree of accura cy. The governor general la bending every energy of the government to preserve order and to bring order out of chaps, and with some success. The troops are doing splendid service. The shipping Industry Is at a complete standstill. Those vessels which escap ed eerloue damage cannot handle car goes as practically every lighter In the harbor has been destroyed. See Gives Up Deed. The sea today Is giving up Its dead by scores, the victims of yesterday’s typhoon. From the numerous build ings wrecked by the terrific wind many corpses are being removed and over the city hangs the pall of the dread ful disaster. In the harbor the water is covered with floating wreckage. Along the sea wall, the piers and lining the beach are the beaten and broken hulks of countless craft, while smaller pieces of wreckage cover the whole shore. In the city great piles of debris show where th, storm spent Its fury. BASEBALL-RACING RACE RESULTS. Continued on Page Two. ATLANTA GIRL IDENTIFIES T. S.

Becauae his wife, May Nelson Gress, has chosen to take legal steps to Insure the payment to ber of alimony in the event she gets the divorce which she asked August 22, her husband, George V. Gress, has Hied a petition In the superior court asking that the order of the court made on that date be s< modified as to dissolve the portion ty ing up his money. When Mrs. Gress filed her petition for divorce In August she obtained a temporary order restraining her .hus band from withdrawing $30,900 which he had placed In the Fourth National Bank as a guarantee that she would be provided for In the event of a legal separation. In the petition Just filed Mr. Gress denies the Jurisdiction of the superior court of Fulton county. He says that he has made no attempt to conceal property and that further the provision which he has made for alimony has been liberal and ample, the $10,000 hav ing been deposited In the Fourth Na tional Bank to that end. He contends, however, that the suit. If filed at all, should have been brought In Berrien coui.iy, where he maintains his residence, but that since Mrs. Gress has chosen to resort to the courts Mrs. Gress Is no longer entitled to that money which he had voluntarily de posited In her favor. Mr. Gress argues that because of the |Fgai steps hla wife has taken this ac count has In equity and good con science been deprived of Its character as a special deposit for her benefit, Mrs. Gress having elected to treat as a nul lity the agreement under which the de posit was made.

On the side ore several kennels of blood hounds. This article, which has doubtless reached 6,000,000 readers, according to the circulation claims of the news papers that printed It, has aroused In certain leading Atlantans as much an ger as possible in a case of impersonal libel. Mayor Woodward, Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of the chamber of com merce; Judge George Hlllyer and oth er cltlsena have been severe In their criticism of such an extraordinarily untruthful and malicious libel of u city. The story Is said to have been sent out from Atlanta, aIthough.lt bears no date line. Judge Hillytr Hot. "It Is the fashion of the civilised world to tell lies on the South, and the young men In Atlanta who are egging on these lies by sending out false re ports should be retired to private life," said Judge George Hlllyer. "The men who got up that article are worse than the negroes who committed the atrocious deeds. The negroes are led by nnlinal Instinct and are Igno rant; the others-are educated and are led on by small pecuniary gain. Where as the negro injures one family, such articles Injure the entire South.” Mayor Woodward expressed his In dignation thus: "Such articles can not he condemned too strongly. The man who sent It out, If It was sent from this city, knew at the time It wa* false. The Idea of prominent cltlsens patrolling the streets of Atlanta would be ridiculous If the matter was not so serious In the wrong It work* on Atlanta." “Law Should Handle Cate." Secretary Walter O. Cooper, of the chamber of commerce, said: "The practice of sending such arti cles to the Northern papers Is growing worse and worse. And some day this matter will be taken up and laws en acted providing criminal punishment for the pensetrators." The Lurid. Artiole. The article is prefaced with an elab orate account of the "periodical news of lynching which horrifies the whole country."

It seems that Augusta people expect him to spend Wednesday night there and to leave for Atlanta at 7:46 o'clock Thursday morning. There Is no entertainment projected there for him after his speech Wednes day night, but a suite of rooms has been engaged for him. It Is believed that urgent telegrams from the Atlanta committee wilt result In Mr. Bryan deciding to come to this city ot the time expected.

Mr. Bryan will reach the city before breakfast, arriving over the Georgia railroad from Columbia, 8. C, and Au gusta. A committee of cltlsena will meet him at the station and escort him to the Piedmont, where a suite of apartments has been reserved for hla orcupuncy. At It o'clock a public reception will be tendered the city's guest In the par lors on the first floor of the Piedmont. The line will be formed on Luckle street, and after meeting the Nebras kan the guests will pass out to tits Peachtree street exit.
