WHEREABOUTS KNOWN
Wall Street Amazed
at Failure of Big
Film.
NEW SENSATION
IS HINTED AT
Receiver Admits That Lia
bilities of Ceballo &
Co. Amount to Many
Millions.
New York. Oct. 11.—Word was re-
reived by cable this afternoon that
trace of Manuel Sllverla, "the J. P.
Morgan of Cuba,” whose alleged de
falcation of 41,000,000 caused the failure
of the great banking house- of Juan
Ceballos & Co., of New York, for near
ly 11,000,000, had been discovered.
The cable advices were received by
Sullivan * Cromwell, attorneys for
William V. Rowe, the receiver for the
wrecked concern. These advices stated
that Sllverla, who left Havana with
hi* family and more than a million
dollars In his possession, on the char
tered steamer Carmelfna on October 2,
had boarded another vessel on the high
seas when two days out from the Cu
ban capital.
Know Silveria's Whereabouts.
It was stated at the ofllces of the
attorneys that the present whereabouts
of the Carmelina Is known and It
was Intimated that the name and
destination of the other vessel .had also
been learned. Agents of the attorneys
are believed to be In close pursuit of
the fugitive.
Assignee Rowe said today that ac
countants were busy on the books of
Ceballos & Co., but that It would take
fully two days before anything like an
accurate estimate of the exact liabili
ties could be made. Prom what had
already been done, he declared, how
ever, that the first estimate of the lia
bilities at from 43,000,000 to 44,000,000
would probably prove substantially cor
rect.
Wall Strest Astonished.
Jt was freely predicted on Wall str*el
today that there would be startling
developments as a sequel to the tre
mendous failure of the Ceballos firm.
Considerable astonishment was. gener
ally expressed that o Arm with the sup
posed stability and solid connections of
the Ceballos firm could not have man
aged to secure an extension of credit
for the usual ten days to tide over the
shortage made by the alleged defalca
tion.
It was pointed out that firms of the
standing of Ceballos & Co. have usual
ly not the ^tightest difficulty In getting
creditors to agree to a short extension.
The announcement of the suspension of
the tlrm was characterized as preclpt-
tale, to put It mildly.

ATLANTA, GA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1906. ,
THIRD OF GAMES
IS BITTERLY CONTESTED
PRICE:
BY STRIKERS OR
Union Men Remain Out and
Hold Meeting But Noth-'
ing Develops.
A meeting of the local striking ma
chinists of the Southern railway was
held at 9:30 o’clock Tuesday morning
In the hall of the Federation of Labor
on Forsyth street.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors. The strike situation was dis
cussed by a number of the members of
the local union. As far as could be
learned, no business of Importance was
transacted. The union will hold a
meeting, It Is understood, each morn
Ing, as long as the strike continues.
The union Is standing Arm, said all
those seen by a representative of The
Georgian after the meeting.
“No news! Nothing to say! Would be
glad to give you anything If there was
anything to give at present."
This was the result of an attempt to
Interview F. W. McCabe, business
agent of Atlanta Lodge No. 1. Inter
national Association of Machinists.
Mike Riley, chairman of the press
committee of the union, had about the
same statement to make.
"We stand now,” he said, "where w«
stood ' whsn we -walked - out on thl#
strike. We haven't chadged our posi
tion In the least. We don't Intend to
change either."
At the Southern shops In South At
Innta alt-was quiet. Save for the oc
casional sound of one or two lone men
at work, there was nothing to disturb
the quietude. Where before the little
army of 125 men had tolled, only two
or three now were performing their
regular duties.
In the city there was nothing to In
dicate that a strike wns on. Thero were
no gatherings on the streets and no
disturbances of any kind.
It Is said that several "strike break
era” arrived In Atlanta yesterday, and,
after learning the situation, refused to
work.

MAYOR OFFERS REWARD
FOR A U7HOR OF A LETTER
Fpvc lal to The-Georgian.
Cambridge, Ga, Oct. 11.—Officer
hock, of the local police force, was
recipient of a- very threatening
letter yesterday morning. It will be
remembered that Rock shot Frank
Hutton, a notoriously bad negro, to
death a few weeks ago. Yesterday
morning on opening his front door Of-
ttver Rock saw a letter lying on the
i,*rvh and found It to be of a very
threatening nature. It was evidently
" ritten by some negro who was a
friend of the d6ad negro, or who has a
personal grudge v ngainst the officer.
The letter Is as follows: "Rock, you
bedder leave here at nonce as I am
going to kill you wherever I see you If
I hafter lay In the yard, you must
die. It may be tonight, it may be to-
morrer night but I mean to kill you
like ym did frank.” Mayor Willis has
offered a reward of 4100 for the cap
ture of the guilty party with evidence
to convict. Considerable feeling has
been aroused on account of the let
ter.

grounder to Stelnfeldt and was out at
first. Jones singled through Pfelster.
Isbell could not solve Pfelster's deliv
ery and struck out. Jones out stealing.
Kllng to Evers. One hit| no runs.
Walsh put two squarely over the
plate. Hotrmon swinging at both. Hoff
man landed on the next one and
dropped a single In center. Sheckard
bunted foul and he had to come back.
Sheckard swung at a fast one and
Sullivan, with a quick throw, almost
caught HofTman off first. Sheckard
then fanned. HofTman out, Sullivan to
Isbell. Schulte smote a double to left,
which went under the seats.
Chance grounded to Isbell, who fum
bled momentarily, but recovered and
threw- the Cub manager out at first.
No runs.
8econd Inning.
Tinker made a beautiful one-handed
catch of Rohe's hard grounder and
threw him out at first Donohus sin
gled through Pfelster. The Cub pitcher
touched the ball with the tip of his
finger, but could not pull it down.
Pfelster fooled Dougherty completely
with three wide outs, which the So*
fielder was unable to touch. Donohue
out stealing second; Kllng to Tinker.
No runs.
The Cubs' supporters, remembering
Stelnfeldt's good work, applauded him
when he came up. Walsh put a strike
over In a hurry, Stelny fouling it. Then
he hit the ball to Tannehlll, who threw
him out at first. Tannehlll's pick-up
was a w-onder. Tinker struck thrice.
Sully dropping the ball, but threw him
out at first. Evers slammed a liner to
Jones. No runs.
Third Inning.
Sullivan struck out, Pfelster knowing
his weakness, and feeding him only
only high straight balls. Tannehlll
met the same fnte at the hands of the
southpaw. Jack had his wide curves
working beautifully and was In great
faun. \V*il*h put one within a few
feet ct the center flsld crowd, but Hoff
man was under It. No runs.
Johnny Kllbg fanned. He could not
Ouch Walsh's unearthly drops. PfSIft-
ter was another victim, and swung st
the ball In vain. This made four
strikeouts for each pitcher. Hoffman
opt, Tannehlll to Donohue. No runs.
Fourth Inning.
Hahn sent a Texas leaguer to Evers
close to the foul line back of first base.
It looked to be a safe hit. Chance hav
Ing fallen down ad Schulte being' too
far back, but little Johnny was on
the spot. Jones fanned. Isbell also
struck out, Pfelster’s curves being elm
ply sensational. No runs.
Sheckard out. Tannehlll to Donohue.
Tannehlll hod to make another bril
liant stop to get hts man, but he did
not falter. Schulte waited to get a
pass, but could only get three balls
and was called out on strikes after
having fouled at least half dozen.
Manager Chance waited with better
success, getting his base on balls.
Stelnfeldt out, Tannehlll to Donohue.
No runs.
Fifth Inning.
Evers made an absolutely marvelous
stop of Rohe's hot drive and threw the
Soz third bazeman out at flrzt. Dono
hue tripled to right field crowd. Dough
erty fouled out to Kllgn. Sullivan
struck out. No runs.
Tinker out, Isbell to Donohue. Evers
struck out. Kllng out, Isbell to Dono
hue. No runs.
Sixth Inning.
Tannehlll single^ past Stelnfeldt.
Only for Sheckard's fast work It would
have gone for a double. Pfelster was
wild and passed Walsh. After a con
ference with Manager Chance, Pfels
ter tried again, but was s|lll wild and
soaked Hahn in the face with a swift,
one and badly hurt the Sox right field
er. Umpire Johnstone asked for a p‘
