Havana, Sept. 29.—Secretary Tuft
thla morning Issued his proclamation
taking charge of tho Cuban govern
ment and the American provisional
government Is now taking over the
government The proclamation was
printed In the official Gazette and
thousands of extra copies were stricken
off and distributed.
It declares that the provisional gov
ernment Is onl/ undertaken because of
the necessities of the situation and ape
cHlcally declares that It is only to last
until a permanent government can be
established and order restored through
out the republic. The proclamation
was expected and caused little excite
ment. It Is expected that the American
naval brigade will be landed In a short
time.
Text of Proclamation.
The following Is the text of Secre
tary Taft's proclamation:
"The failure of congress to act on
the Irrevocable resignation of the presi
dent of the republic of Cuba, or elect
• successor leaves this country with
out a government at a time when great
disorder prevails and requires that,
pursuant to a request of President
Palma, the necessary steps be taken, In
the name of and by the authority of the
president of the United States to re
store order and protect lift and prop
arty In the Island of Cuba and In the
Islands and keys adjacent thereto, and
for this purpose to establish therein u
ovlsional government. The provis
provl
fonal
direction and In the name of the pres!
dent of the United States will be main
tained only long enough to restore or
der and peace and public confidence,
and then to hold such elections as may
be necessary to determine those per
sons upon whom tin* permanent gov
ernment of the republic should be de
volved.
"Itr so far as Is consistent with the
nature of a provisional government es
tablished under authority of the Uni
ted Plates, this will be a Cuban gov
ernment, conforming as far us may be
with the constitution of Cuba.

anxious to hrtng about |*>ace under the

The Mobile county court house was
badly wrecked. The*clock In Its tower
waa blown away completely and now
nothing of the clock remains.
All along the line of tho Mobile and

north of Mobile, looking to the right of
the railroad, one area only a solid sheet
of water running swiftly toward Mo

First Train Out.
To the Mobile and Ohio railroad
belongs the honor of getting out the
(tret train, which left Mobile Friday
morning In charge of Conductor J. H.
Cooper. All railroads entering the city
are trying to excel each other and
neither expense nor labor Is limited.
Wires along the road of the Mobile and
Ohio are prostrated with the exreptlnn
of one train wire which does not extend
tho entire length of the road. Conduc
tor Cooper stated that he had orders for
every freight train along the line of
the Mobile and Ohio, which waa the
only means at the time of conveying
orders to the freight laden trains. Sev

New York, Sept. 29.—Arrested as a
fugitive from justice on the charge of
bigamy, alleged to have made love to
and to have become engaged to a pret

tured as having blighted the prospects
of many young women In different
parts of the country. Eugene L\ Bag-

He and hla second wife had been living

He was close to Tom Taggart, chair

WILD RUMOR CURRENT
OF ASSAULT ON WOMAN
Home excitement waa occasioned In
Atlanta Saturday morning by the ru
mor, that there had been another at
tempt at assault near Buckhrad, In the
northern end of the county. >
This rumor grew out of tho inves
tigation by a squad of county police
men under Lieutenant Walt Cheshire,
of a report that some little girls had
been attacked In a Acid.
It was found that there.was abso
lutely nothing In the scare. Home
children had been In a fleld and heard
u noise In the woods. They were fright
ened, und as they ran for home one
Ilf tha boys said He saw a negro on the
edge of the woods. It is not thought
that there was any attempt by negroes
to do anything which might even scare
the children.
LABOR WINS
FIGHT TO GET
CITHLANTS
Municipal Ownership
League Secures
New Members.
Labor, represented by W. C. Puckett,
secretary-treasurer of the Georgia Fed
eratlon of Labor, Saturday morning
aligned Itself to flght for municipal
ownership and aid The Georgian In the
flght It la making for the people against
the corporations. The laborer wilt be
beneflted; the manufacturer will
beneflted; the merchant will be bene
flted. Every claea of people will be
beneflted except the corporations that
are taking more than le their due from
the people.
Here Is what Mr. Puckett said In
his letter, which accompanied hie ap
plication for membership In the Mu
nlclpal Ownership League:
"The Atlanta Georgian, City:
"Gentlemen—Enroll my name as i_
member of the Municipal Ownership
League and count on me for anything
needed along that line. I am for It
first, laat and all the time, and think
we should begin with the ’abattoir.’
"Why not the city build, own and
operate the abattoir Instead of furnish
ing the five acre tract of land near
the city stockade to outsiders live years
for nothing, and then a mero pittance
for the remainder of a twenty-year
lease? Get behind the committee that
meets next week. Stir them up on this
matter at once. The Georgian can do
It, with tho people behind them, which
they have. Yours truly,
(Signed) ”W. C. PUCKETT.”
1 A Thinking Man.
Mr. Purkelt holds an Important posi
tion In tho world of labor. He waa
not given 'that honor simply because he
was a good fellow. His merit, his
ability, his knowledge, hie determina
tion to help that class of which he Is a
distinguished member, caused him to
be recognised and promoted to the of
fice which he .holds. He has studied
the situation In the hope of being of
benefit to the people. He has arrived
at the same conclusion -that every
thoughtful, unprejudiced man will ar
rive at—municipal ownership.
E. F. Donehno, of 56 East Alnbama
street, called at The Georgian office
Saturday morning and requested that
he be furnished with flfty application
blanks for membership In the Munici
pal Ownership League, as he knew
many citizens who wanted to Join
and he wished to supply them' with the
blank. We were unable to supply tho
blanks, as they have not been received
from the printers, but early next week
there will be a sufficient supply In The
Georgian office to enable every man In
the city to sign up and signify his
willingness to flght In the cause of the
people.

The Georgian has time and again

OUR OBJECT IN INTRODUCING
Learned in Six to Ten Weeks.
It Seems Wonderful! It is Wonderful! But
This is An Age of Wonders.
We have demonstrated it to be a fact
and stand ready to MAKE A STEN
OGRAPHER (A good stenographer)
OF YOU IN HALF of the TIME it
takes In any other school not teaching
Chartler Shorthand. We show our
faith by our works. We have pro
posed and yet propose to contest SIX
WEEK8 pupils of the CHARTIER sys
tem against THREE MONTHS pupils
i competitive school that teaches
the Graham. The challenge Is still un
accepted.
If our Competitors really have the
high opinion of Graham Shorthand and
the poor opinion of Chartler Short
hand set forth In a newspaper article
by them several weeks ago, there U no
earthly reason why they should not be
willing to submit the two systems to a
test.
When they are called upon to test
the systems, not by patented phrases,
but In a manner which the gencrul
public can understand and appreciate,
they seem suddenly to lose the power
of speech.
WOULD YOU?
If you were conducting a competing
school teaching Graham Shorthand,
would you allow such a challenge to go
unaccepted unless you had become con
vinced that the Graham could not com
pote with the Chartler?
THE DIFFERENCE.
Chartler Shorthand consists of the
ALPHABET, TEN SIMPLE RULES
and 52 WORD-8IQN8. THAT'S ALL.
By devoting only a part of.your time
each day to the study, putting the ma
jor part of your time on typewriting
and the practical English branches,
you should, at the end of tho FIRST
MONTH, be able to take an ordinary
business letter at a speed of at least
50 WORDS per minute. It requires
from three, to five months of diligent
application to reach the same speed
with Graham or Pitman Shorthand.
AND THIS IS WHY.
The old systems contain several
hundred rules, and almost as many
exceptions, thousands of hard-to-mem-
orlze word-signs, and a vast number of
contractions. All this Is entirely ar
bitrary, laborious and bewildering. But
It must be learned.
COME.
Let us reason together.
If you can learn CHARTIER 8H0RT
HAND In half the time and at half
the expense required to master any
other system and at the same time
make a better stenographer, do you
know any sensible reason why you
should not do It?
YOU TAKE NO RISK.
WE GUARANTEE RESULT8, be-
cause we know beyond the faintest
shadow of a doubt that Chartler Short
hand Is all we claim for It. The suc
cess of our graduates who are now fill
ing positions is positive proot of the
reliability of the system.
LIVING CONTRADICTION.
That .-nich schools as the world-re
nowned Kastman College, Poughkeep
sie, N. Y., Bliss Business College, Co
lumbus, Ohio; Scranton Business Col
lege, Scranton. Pa.; Spencer Business
College, New Orleans; Blllott Business
College, Wheeling. W. Va.; Central
Business College, Indianapolis, Ind.,
and over 100 others have adopted the
Chartler system during the past two
years is INDISPUTABLE evidence of
Its superior merits and a living contra
diction of anything that may be said
against It by those who are barred from
touching It.

"Columbus. Ohio, gets gas for 25

make a few comparisons.
The city of Atlanta pays 975 per year
per arc light to light the streets of tho
city. That Information Is contained In
the September Innue. of "Water and
Gas Review," which also gives other
and valuahlo information concerning
municipality owned electric lighting
plants,
Rsad These Comparisons.
Chicago has a municipally owned
electric lighting plant which supplies
light to the city at a cost of 953.58 per
arc light per year. Detroit, Mich., has
a municipally owned plant which light
the city at a cost of $34.99 per arc light
per year. Allegheny, Pa., has a munic
ipally owned electric lighting plant
which supplies light to the city nt n
cost of $61.21 per arc light per year
Grand Rapids, Mich., secures Its light
from Its municipally owned plant for
$35.12. Nashville, Tenn., pays $46.
Wlnnopeg, Manitoba, pays $59.68 per
arc light. Little Rock, Ark., supplies
her own light for $36.54 per are light
per year. Each arc light In Wheeling,

town. N. Y., secures light for $19.42.
8t. Ignace, Mich., by some plan of

That’s Municipal Ownership.
That Is a complete list ot every mu
nicipally owned lighting plant In the
United States In cites of any size or
Importance. That will demonstrate
what municipal ownership has done
for those cities. And yet there are
people who argue against municipal

A mayor of b city hits full authority
to apply directly to the governor for
mUltary forces In the time of danger
without flrat reporting the facte to the
Judge of auperlor, city or county court
or the aherlff.
Such Is the opinion rendered by
Judge Advocate General George Napier,
of the national guard of Georgia, In re
reply to questions submitted by Walter
A. Harris, colonel of the Second regi
ment.
Through the office of the adjutant
general, Colonel Harris < submitted the
questions of precedence In cases of
trouble, where the service of the mili
tary la needed. Judge Advocate Na
pier holds that where a civil authority,
believing the aid of the troopa Is nec
essary In any emergency, should ap
ply to another civil officer of superior
rank to himself, and request him to
Tiler out troops, and the off leal of
higher rank declining to act, the of-
flclul of lower lank would have author
ity to do so.
If this official should happen to be
the mayor then the officer commanding
)Uld be required to report to the
mayor and receive Instructions from
him. Colonel Napier holds that the
law provides for speedy relief when tho
peace of 11 community is nt stake, and
docs not cnnteinplntc cognizance of
any debutea or contentions among civil
authorities.
