DROWNS IN LAKEi
Port Arthur, Ont., Oct. 25.—While on
a duck-shooting expedition In the
White Fish country. Mayor Charles A,
Sneyder, of Dayton, Ohio, was drowned,
A search Is being made for the body
today, but up to noon no trace of It had
been found. At this point the lake is
very deep and It Is feared the body will
never be recovered.
A party of men and a complete out
(It of grappling Irons and hooks was
taken to the scene of the accident In a
special train.
Early In the morning yesterday
Snevder and several of his companions
went out In a small boat on a lake near
camp to get some ducks. The party
returned hurriedly .toward evening, re
porting that the boat containing the
movor had been acddentaly overturned.

A quiet, or at least safe, Christmas
to far as explosives are concerned,
will be Atlanta’s Jot this year.
Friday Mayor Woodward will Issue
sn order forbidding: the sale of big,
dangerous cannon crackers and will put
the fireworks people on notice that they
had just as well not count on the At
lanta trade when placing their orders
for this class of goods.
Even the tame fireworks will have to
be* confined strictly to the home prem
ises. Roman candles, skyrockets and
even the eat-out-of-your-hand variety
of firecrackers will have to be burned
up In the back lot.
This order of the mayor will be
prompted not only*by ordinary caution
to prevent the Injury of Atlantans by
the firecrackers, but because he thinks
that with the unsettled state of affairs
now prevailing Atlanta should have as
<iulet a holiday season as It Is possible
to obtain.
GOVERNOR HELL
IE FROM TRIP
Governor Terrell wax at hla de»k In
the i apltol Thursday, he and Mra. Ter
rell arriving from Savannah at 7:25
Thursday morning.
The governor enjoyed hla ten-daya’
vacation very much, especially the hunt
"n St. Catherine's Island, where he
bagged a line deer. The party killed
fnur deer and the several days on the
hlaml they lived largely on venison.
Major Wilkins' yacht, the Jesale, rode
out the Saturday night storm safely,
anchored behind Sti Catherine. The
governor stated that the wind was very
high, and for a while they were a little
anxious.
Not until Tuesday did he know of the
great anxiety felt for the safety of
himself and Mrs. Terrell. A passing
'essel asked for the governor, and
“hen naked what waa wanted, said
that there were many people In Georgia
anxious about him just then.
Catherine's Island Is owned by a
rich Herman family, and deer are ns
numerous on It as rabbits.
RIGHT TO RAISE RATES
DENIED BY COMMISSION
The petition of Charles A. Wicker-
sham, president and general manager
of the Atlanta and West Point rall-
road. to add four miles to Its mileage
4®?* because** toe use of the Atlan
ta Belt Line, was denied by the railroad
commission Thursday morning.
After hearing the protest of the mer
chants along the line who would be
arrected by the proponed addition of the
four miles to the haul and the reasons
* 5u °^ c,a l 8 for asking for the same
at the session Wednesday, the commls-
81 took the matter under advisement.
Thursday morning the commission
unanimously declined the petition of
President Wickersham. This decision
m ®$ n * that no advance In freight rates
will be permitted, and the merchants
and general shippers along the line will
not be called upon to pay from 5 to 15
Per cent above the present tariff under
which the road operates.
What Road Wantsd.
Merchants, business and professional
men along the line of the Atlanta and
West Point railroad have risen In arms
to combat an effort of that road to add
four miles to Its mileage table, thue In
creasing. freight rates from 5 to 15 per
cent.
The Initial hearing on this matter
took place Wednesday before .the rall-
road commission, through the petition
of President and General Manager
Charles A. Wickersham, seeking the
right of the Increased mileage. Citi
zens from LaGrange, Hoganavllle,
Grantvllle. Moreland, Newnan, Palmet
to, Falrburn and other stations along
the line were present with attorneys,
to enter protest against the proposition.
The West Point aaka for this In
creased mileage right on the plea that
It Is entitled to It through use of the
Atlanta Belt Line from Oakland City
to Its Inman Park terminals. This dis
tance Is about four miles and would
consequently Increase the mileage from
Atlanta to all points along the line to
West Point Just that much.
The protest Is based on the ground
that no necessity exists for this In
crease because the Atlanta and West
Point owns trackage rights to Nelson
street In the center of the city, and
that terminal facilities could be se
cured from either the Southern or
Central, making the use of the belt en
tirely unnecessary.
It was brought out that this pro
posed mileage would add from & to 15
per cent to the freight rates, the gen
eral average being 10 per cent. The
attorney for the merchants stated that
It was only a clever ruse on the part of
the Atlanta and West Point to raise Its
freight tariff above that put on it by
the commission. He demonstrated that
the final effect would be to Increase not
only the local ratea, but would add 21
to the cost of every car load from
through points. The Increase to ship
pers along the route would mean thou
sands of dollars tn a year.
President Wickersham presented the
following table of revised mileage and
asked the sanction of the commission
to make It effective:
East Point 10.61
Terra Cotta 11.47
College Park 12.48
Red Oak ..16.42
Stonewall 19.82
Falrburn .. .. ., 22.90
Palmetto 30.21
Coweta. 34.37
Madras 37.23
Newnan 42.90
Moreland .. 49.27
St. Charles 60.60
Grantvllle ..' 55.03
Trimble 59.35
Hogansvllle .. ..61.78
Amos Spur 66.92
Louise 68.28
Dixie 73.90
Commonvllle 81.97
Gabbetevllle 84.19
West Point 90.20
It was brought out through officials
of the road that terminals could prob
ably be rented from the Southern or
Central, obviating the use of the extra
haul, but Inasmuch as the Atlanta and
West Point had exclusive use of the
belt It preferred to use It to reach the
Atlanta terminal. It was also contend
ed that road desired revision of Its
mileage table to make the charge of 32
for switching cars over the belt line.
The protest against this ruse of the
road was flgned by practically every
merchant along the line.
POPE PIUS COLLAPSES
AFTER PILGRIMS LEA VE
Rome, Italy. Oct. 24.—Thoroughly
exhausted as the result of holding sev
eral Interviews today, Pope Plus was

had received a number of English pil
grims against the advice of his physi
cian. Dr. Laponnl, his personal doc
tor, declared that the Indisposition of
the pope Is only temporary, and be
lieves he will have recovered by tomor

Thursday had been set for the trial
of the negroes Indicted for complicity
In the killing of County Policeman Jim
Heard, on September 24, and when the
first case, that of Alex Walker, was
called, so great a cloud—dark cloud
of wltneases packed the gallery that It
made that side of the court room look
stormy.
At a meeting of the twenty-odd law
yer! representing the forty-odd prison
era Involved In the affair it was decid
ed to try the cases separately, ■ and It
thl* Is done the trials will take up a
week or two of the court's time.
The whole thing has gone over until
next Tuesday, on account of the quash
ing of the Indictment against the
Walker negro on the ground that the
means of killing Mr. Heard and the ex
act part which each prisoner took was
not definitely enough stated.
Judge Roan sustained a demurrer
argued by J. D. Kilpatrick In the
Walker case, alleging several grounds
In which the Indictment was defective,
but at Its meeting tomorrow the grand
Jury will probably remedy the defects
In this case and also In the. fifty-nine
others mentioned In the same Indlct-
men, so as to make valid any sentence
which a Jury may find.
From the way the fight has begun,
It appears that the handling of tnesa
cases will be a .long-drawn-out pro
ceeding. bb many legal points present
themselves, behind which the defend
ants can hide, and at the conference of
legal representatives Thursday It is un
derstood that they decided not a waive
anything, except possibly the formal
arraignments.

In the discussion which followed It
developed that a number of the manu
facturers and dealers were In favor of
abolishing the guarantee on their prod-
nets. Action on this question will be
taken at the next convention.

The resolution committee recom
mended the adoption of resolution*
tending to bring the terms of dealers
to a standard term of 60 days' ac
ceptance with 2 per cent off If paid In
30 days. This was regarded as a good
recommendation because of the In
