THE ATLANTA. GEORGIAN. MONDAY. OtTOlIKK 52. is* heads of carriage men WRI7E OF PAST AND FUTURE OF' 1 HEIR ASSOC I AIIONS What Organizations Have Done and Hope to Da In response to request* from The Georgian for brief sketches about the Carriage Builders' National Association from the men who have helped to build up the organization, several of the of ficers have responded. One of the most interesting of these Is written by Dan iel T. Wilson, chairman of the executive committee. Mr. Wilson wrote: New York, Oct. *1, 1306. The Atlanta Georgian: The Carriage Builders' National As sociation was founded In 18<S and this convention Is, She 34th annual one. It was founded for the purpose of doing away with small Jealousies pervading the trade at that time. Its motto has always been “that we may become bet ter acquainted with onu another." I believe there are no other associations which have lasted as long as this. We deal with all national questions which directly affect the trade, hut, whenever a specific complaint Is made bv one and npt general In Its'charac- ter. wo endeavor to bring together those at variance and adjust the dif ferences. The trade has been very greatly helped by the C. B. N. A. It caused to be adopted the "warranty" which Is given with all vehicles. The once oner- ous freight rates have been adjusted with all the railroad companies. Clas sification of freight,, which was partic ularly burdensome, has been changed. The tariff on carriages (new) Import ed. has been made more equitable, and the tarlfT on second-hand vehicles has been adjustel so .that the Importation of vehicles used a r fetv times, as second hand, has been entirely stopped. It has founded a technical school carried on In the Bowery, here In New York, which Is of great benefit to the members of the association and the en ■ tire trade, not only In this country but In Europe, Africa and Australia as well. We have corresponding students In various parts of the world. We have a dny class and a night class, the lat ter attendod by people employed dur- Inc the day. This school has been very successful; ninety per cent of the graduates being heads or superintendents of factories. These are some of the reasons for the* ex's -nee ol the association. My work as chairman simply consist* in presiding over the deliberations of the executive committee, of which 1 have been chairman five years. Youts trU ' 5, DANIEL, T. WILSON, , Chairman. From President Brunsman. A. G. Brunsman, of Cincinnati, presi dent of the national association, has written a modest sketch of his own connection with the organisation. His letter follows: "Cincinnati, O., Oct. 21. 1906. "To the Editor of The Georgian: "My biography Is quite simple—was horn and reared In the city of Cincin nati. educated In'Its public and night school*,, started In the vehicle buelness at an early. ago, filled about every posi tion under the head of this Industry, from trimmer apprentice to general manager, and finally proprietor In con nection with a partner, of the Anchor Buggy Company, and president of»the Lion Buggy Company, both factories nt this olty. My connection with the vehicle trade date* back to a time ‘when thing* were different.’ Myself and partner are the originals of the Anchor and Dion Buggy Companies. The former company started twenty t ears ago and has grown from n small Institution to one .of some magnitude. "I have been prominently connected DANIEL T. WILSON, New York, Chairman Executive Committee, Car riage Builders’ National Asso ciation. 1th affairs of the vehicle trade gener ally—a member of the Carriage Ma kers’ Club for nearly twenty • years, twice Its president and chairman of Its freight and classification committee for so long that I hardly remember the time of my appointment. I have been on the executive committee of the Car riage Builders’ National Association for some years; have been chairman of Its freight and classification committee un til my advancement to the presidency, and I now presume 1 will be retired from the ranks and back to the plain title of carriage manufacturer. , "Yours very truly, "A. J. BRUNSMAN." From President Gregory. Lucius Gregory, of Chase City. Va.,' is president of the Southern Vehicle Association. He has prepared for Tho Georgian a brief article concerning his organization, which follows: “Chase City, Va., Oct. 12. "The Southern Vehicle Association Is composed of nearly all the carriage builders In Southern territory and the membership Is largely Increased by members from the accessory trade. The meetings consist of an annual meet ing, to which nil the members of every' class are Invited, and the object of this meeting Is te get better acquaint ed with each other and with those from whom we buy material for carriages. A review of the year’s work Is given and new members are sought: officers are elected and an outline for the com Ing year Is prepared. "A Jolly good time for all has been the verdict of all former annual meet Ings, But this Is not nil. Once a quar ter the builders meet In business sea slons. which usually last till day and sometimes longer, and the real benefit comes from these quarterly sessions, Then all phases of the carriage bust ness come .up for discussion and a gen eral exchange of Ideas alotig the Va rlous lines are made. Insurance, freights, shipping, office and shop man agement and that all-important Item, credits, all come In for their part In the discussions. The result of this haa been thorough harmony nniong the builders, a better acquaintance with each other, until a friendliness which Is beautiful to see and better to ex perience, exists among these Southern builders. ’The Southern Vehicle Association desiring to hold Its annual, meeting In Atlanta at the same time of the meet ing of the C. B. N. A., Its usual sprint meeting was cut out and the president, by vlrtud of this, has held the position for more than ■ a year, which Is the usual term.” AGAINST U. S. Attitude of This Coun try Toward Race Is Condemned. Toklo, Oct. 22.—It would be difficult to overestimate the gravity of the sit uation caused by the anti-Japanese feeling that has been given voice In the United States. -At a dinner last night, attended by loO prominent bankers and. business men at the Imperial hotel, deep feel ing was expressed that America should regard with Indifference acts that are tantamount to a declaration of racial war. Little was said regarding the American protests against the Japa nese program In Manchuria. The attacks by John D. Rockefeller on Japanese commercial treachery, the Hawaiian exclusion policy, the public Insults to Professor Omorl, and Con gressman Kahn's wai threats, all of which Incidents have occurred within three months, were discussed: also the suggestion to exclude Japanese chil dren from public schools attended by whites In San Francisco. There Is evidence that the govern ment regards the situation as extremely delicate and serious. The JIJI Shlmpou prints a long anon ymous article, which, however, I known to emanate from a member of the government, attempting to explain away the acts which have oftendi Japanese. The Imperial government recognizes that the opposition to the Japanese Is now local, but opposition politicians argue that It Is not a local manifestation, and point out that American authorities have taken dafl nlte steps to define the relations be tween the two countries. A prompt repudiation of the anti Japanese sentiment by the United States at targe Is necessary to avert a crisis here that would result in the destruction of the historic commercial relations between the two nations.

CONPEDERATE VETERANS CALL ROLL OF MISSING CARRIAGE BUILDERS 1NVADE_ ATLANTA Continued from Pago On*. LIFE WAS CRYSTAL RIVER OF BE A UTy AND BLESSING —W. D. UPSHAW At the memorial service* at the Tab ernacle Sunday afternoon William D. Upshaw paid a beautiful tribute to the character of the Rev. Sam P. Jones. Some portions of his address follow: There are moments, 1 think, when the spirit receives Whole volumes of thought on Its un written leaves.” 'And In the tense and tender heart beat of such a moment today we begin this sacred memorial—an hour that shall be focal of high and holy con templations and vocal with the love and sorrow of thousands. "Never since Henry Grady finished hla marvelous work at 10 o'clock In the morning of life's wonderful day— never since he yielded to what men call death, have I been ao anxious to attend the funeral of a great and good man as I waa to be at Cartersvtlle at the funeral ceremonies of Sam P. Jones. But I, wa* on bed over In Cobb county and could not be at Grady's funeral, and the death of 4 relative would not allow me to mingle with the weeping thousands who thronged the Carters- vllle Tabernacle because Its maker and master had died. But as I could not go there my pierced heart feels a sort of melan choly compensation In the privilege of suggesting Atlanta's memorial. But priority of suggestion did not mean pri ority of Impulse, for, before they had seen the suggestion In the dally press, Messrs, Peacock -and Johnson, of the Tabernacle congregation, came to my office at different hours to suggest a memorial service for Sam Jones. And aa soon as Dr. Broughton heard the ead new* on returning from England, he ruehed to the neareet telegraph office In New York and wired, not knowing what had been done, to arrange for a Sunday night memorial for Sam Jonee. 'ftius the feeling was In all hearts and the suggestion struck fire everywhere. The Vacant Chair. "And as I look at that vacant chair on the plattorm and the draped picture that hangs about It, 1 am thinking of that exquisite Waif of mental beauty whose author L do not know—'To a Pond Lily.’ •' 'O, star on the breast of the river— O, marvel of gloom and grace! Did you drop right do jrn out of heaven, Out of the sweetest place? You aro aa pure as the thoughts of an angel— s Your heart Is steeped In the sun— Did you grow In the Golden City * My fair and radiant one? "'Nay, nay: I dropped not out of heav- en— None gave me my saintly'white; I elowly grew In Ihe darknee* Down In the depth* of the night; Up, up, from the oose of the river I won my glory and grace- white aoul* fall not, O, sweet poet, They rlee to tho hlgheet place!' “And ever since Sam P. Jones fell beneath the burden of hie conacloua aln at the foot of the cross he arose as a miracle of regeneration, and ever since then he has been lifting upward with him the clinging retinue of hie sur roundings as fit has surely and grandly climbed. “Let two things be remembered In this marvelous gathering of thousands today—such n tribute would neter have been paid to Sam Jones If he had not met the Lord Jesus Christ in his way ward life In 1372. HI* life alnce then has been a crystal river of beauty and blessing to the. world. And before a fart like this Infidelity must stand for ever dumb. "And the other fact la this—that even men who deny In their aln-marred lives the truth he taught, yet acknowl edge that truth In the hearts that be lieve In him and In the love that crowns him today.” MRS. W. H. BRANCH FIRES TWICE AT An attempt was made Saturday night between 9 and to o’clock to burglarise" the home of W. H. Branch, police re porter of The Journal, 75 Whlteford avenue, Inman Park.
