By MANUEL CALVO. 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. Cuban Flag la to Fly. •The Cuban flag will be hoisted as usual over ull the government build ings of the island; all the executive departments and the provincial and municipal governments. Including that Of the city of Havana, will continue to be administered ns under the fubun republic; the courts will continue to admiuister justice; and all laws, not In their nature Inapplicable by ri-ason of the temporary and emergent nature of the government will be In force. "President Roosevelt has been most anxious to hrtng about |*>ace under the constitutional government of Cuba und has made every endeavor to avoid the present step Longer delay, however, would be dangerous in view of the resignation of the cabinet. Must Report to Taft. "Until further notice the heads of all department* of the central govern ment will report to me for Instructions, including General Alejandro Rodriguez, In command of the rural guards, und the other regular forces, and General Carlos Roloff, treasurer of Cuba. Un til further notice the civil governors and alcades will also report to me fig* Instructions. "I ask all citizens of Culm to ussist In the work of restoring order, trun- qnnJIitv and confidence.

It Is feared that a number of the crews have been drowned. The buslncaa section, four blocks wide and running the entire length of the city, la Inundated to a depth of from 0 Inches feet. A large number of the houaea have been raxed. The militia today Is guarding the streets and preventing the business section from being looted. Orders Given to Shoot. Orders have been given to shoot all who refuse to halt when challenged. The town of Frederick, I miles away, has been wiped off the map.

One Mississippi planter said today that he would willingly accept 916 for hla cot ton crop. Many Farms Under Water. 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 Ohio railroad huge trees lie flat with limbs torn off and twisted. The streams are all out of the hank, and for 25 mllrs north of Mobile, looking to the right of the railroad, one area only a solid sheet of water running swiftly toward Mo bile. There are many farmers using thla Inundated section and many people may have lost their lives. 8hell Road Ruined.

Perkera, all In Alabama, situated along the lines of the Mobile and Bay Shore railroad, have suffered great damage. The towns besides being surrounded by extensive truck farms, are popular summer resorts for Northern tourists, ns well as for Alabamans. The fresh and salt water fishing la always abundance, and bathing a luxury. 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 eral freight trains between Mobile and Meridian were delayed for hours be- rnuae of their Inability to get orders. PENSACOLA.

For three hours Wednesday night the gale blew at a rate of 50 miles an hour. Thla wns Increased to 95 miles an hour, then to 80 and Anally to 90. Trees were broken off nt the ground and tossed about like reeda; telephone and telegraph polea were nnapped off ahnrt, and the wires rolled Into a tan- S led mass. Tin roofa were ripped off ulldlngs like go much card board, and the Uvea of peraona In the streets were endangered by the mlsnlles which the gale tossed about. Early Thursday morning when the atreets were a mass of wreckage, an alarm of Are waa rung. The Are waa in the Pitt Mill, near the business sec tion.

Eugene L\ Bag- well, alias J. J. Brown, confldentlal man or private secretary to ex-Judge Alton II. Parker, Is d prisoner today In St. Vincent’s hospital. He hurt him self by leaping from a car. Bagwell’s arrest was brought about by wife No. 1. who waa Mies Nenah Adams, of Conway county, Arkansas, to whom he was married eleven years ago, when he was 19 years of age. He had been sought as a fugitive since 1909, when he married Mlaa Byrd Ironsides, of Lambetta county, Kansas. He and hla second wife had been living In Richmond Terrace, Staten Island. In the course of tha last three years Bagwell’s life has been a remarkable one. He has been private eecretary to Ury Woodson, of Kentucky, secretary of the natlonnl Democratic committee. He was close to Tom Taggart, chair man of tho committee, and was pres ent when many political moves or na tional Interest were engineered. 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. Demand for Trallere. A. J. Rappole, a traveling salesman with headquarters at 902 Candler build ing, bne this to say: The Atlanta Georgian, Municipal Own. erahlp League: "Gentlemen—Enclosed please find my application to the league. Your plat form Is all to tho good and the results certainly look like business. Regard ing the street railway ayatem would like to suggest that demands be made for better service, more ears, regula tions, etc. ALSO TRAILERS FOR COMBINATION SMOKERS AND NE GRO ACCOMMODATION. "Yours truly, (Signed) "A. J. RAPPOLE.” The Georgian has time and again called the attention of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company of ficials to these much-needed Improve ments. But with their accustomed arrogance and disregard for the com fort and safety of the people who are forced to, patronise a utility which ex ists by grace of the people, no atten tion has been paid to our respectful auggeatlone. Platform for Twenty Years. "Municipal ownership has been my platform for twenty years." wrote Ber nard Suttler, managing editor of The Cotton Journal, who resides at 447 Craw atreet. “I am glad you are get ting Into line,", he continued, while S. D, Smith, a traveling salesman of 134 Courtland atreet, says he has been municipal ownership man for twenty years. "No working man should oppose this nua *’ uraltaa U ILY Unaa n ■*«(!.... 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. REMEMBER, BAGWELL'S BUSINESS COLLEGE, 198 Peachtree street, Atlanta, Ga., has the exclusive right to teach this mar velous system of Shorthand.

Moss, a railway postal clerk, who resides at 179 Wind sor street. ‘All other utilities that are practica ble," is the view that E. E. Griggs, a linotype operator, who resides at 127 Cooper street, takes of the matter. "Municipal ownership with hnneft officials elected by the people,” insists J. J. Martin, Jr., a railway postal clerk, who resides at 79 Spring street. "Now for organization and action," proposes T. 8. Hodges, a jobber in op tical goods, with offices at 610 Aus tell building. "We would say thnt we are Just as anxious for action as Is Mr. Hodges. We want the people to speak out. "We trust you will soon accomplish this undertaking." write Herman A. Binder und Nathan F. Wolfe, mer chants. At Lsast Some Control. F. J. Summers, a clerk who resides 404 Capitol avenue, soys: "Also ownership—at least control— of all public utilities which the people are forced to patronize," and then with a generous Impulse he adds that "The Georgian Is great and growing." "Better make It street car system As well," writes Warner L. Peck, u bookkeeper, who resides at 280 Ashby street. W# Want Your Opinion. Those are some of the expressions which accompanied applications for membership In the League. Here are others who Joined without making any remarks. In this ‘collection we re quest that you tell us Just exactly what you think of the proposition. Do It briefly and to the point, hut try and express some opinion. The additional members are W. If. Arnold, record clerk tailway mall service, of 177 Ashby street; T. P. Miller, clerk In the office of the superintendent of the railway mall service, of 257 North Boulevard; John B. Dugan, of the railway mall service, who resides at 1GS Tyler street; P. G. Harper, a leather worker, who lives at 196 East Fair street. William W. Rumberger, ■ a book keeper who resides at 205 A Woodward avenue, nays: "Columbus. Ohio, gets gas for 25 cents atgl eight car tickets for 25 cents; let's get near It," which leads us to 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, W. Va., costa only $52.86. Topeka, Kans., gets along with a cost of $42.47 per are light. Springfield, III., secures her light for $52.36, while Taunton, Mass., expends the Insignificant sum of $10.90 per arc light per year. Kala mazoo. Mich., secures light for $45.43, Bay City, Mich., pays $51.55. James town. N. Y., secures light for $19.42. 8t. Ignace, Mich., by some plan of which wo are not familiar, pays only $5.09 per yeor per arc light. 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 vjershtp. The Geor CIVIL AUTHORITIES MUSI NOT CONFLICT Question of Precedence in Time of Trouble Is Itnised. Georgian doe. not want the |«o- ple to line themaelvco up with this movement without being thoroughly convinced. If an argument against municipal ownership la made which cannot be refuted tho Inatlgator of Oils move, on the part of The Georgian, will retire from the fight and allow the thing to settle Itaelf. .VO ARGUMENT CAN BE AD VANCED. Cut out the municipal ownership blank printed in this issue of Tho Georgian and go to work for tho city ond the people. 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.
