CRGES DEATH FOR attempt at assault Scores Electric Car Compa ny for Monopolizing County Roads. The September term grand jury fln- !,hed He duties Tuesday morning and after making Its general presentments before Judge Pendleton, was dis charged for the term. Here are the principle presentments: "We carefully investigated the re rent unfortunate riot, many witnesses having been examined, and every effort having been made to arrive at the ex act facts, and aa a result a large num ber of Indictments were found. It Is the opinion of the grand Jury that, had I the isillce department opposed a deter- [ mine.] front to the mob at the Incep tion of the riot,' all serious trouble ! could have been averted. After the ; riot was under full headway the Indi vidual members of the police force, with some exceptions, seem to have acted with courage and with a con sciousness of the gravity of the situ ation. except that there was too little disposition to resort to stringent meas ures In protecting the Innocent and helpless. When Innocent persons were Itelng maimed and murdered r.o meas ure was too extreme for their pro tection. We regret exceedingly to re port that some members of the police force failed signally and absolutely in the performance of their duty on that fatal Saturday night. Whether their failure was due to cowardice, or to ac tive sympathy with the rioters, their conduct was a blot on the fair name and fame of Atlanta, and brought re proach upon the whole police depart ment of the city. Co-operation Needed. ■We believe that the better class of both races are urgently demanding the restricting of nil lawlessness and the prompt enforcement of the law, and we think the time has arrived when co operation between the best elements of both races can be brbought to bear In lessening crime. To reach the criminal negro, we urge upon all law-abiding negroes that they do everything In their power to assist the public au thorities to ferret out crime and to ap prehend the criminal. "For the protection of our rural pop ulation, we urge the establishment of a thoroughly equipped and efficient constabulary, organized by each coun ty and aided by the state. "We wish to commend the action of our city council in providing that no saloon shall In future be allowed to serve both races. We wish further to call the attention of the city authori ties to the fact that many billiard and pool rooms In the city are places that HERE ARE SALIENT POINTS IN REPORT OF GRAND JURY What the Fulton county grand Jury found in its presentment Tues day: Rests blame for Atlanta riots on cowardice and Infficlency of certain members of police department.

The ohargo Is made that the roads tend to create and foster Indolence and I art » Heeklng to protect the Western Grain .Men Protest Against Roads’ Dis crimination. A movement to secure refilling, re- shipping and differential privileges fought for by Atlanta grain and pro duce dealers for so many years will probably result from the talk made by A. P. Morgan at the preliminary meet ing Monday afternoon of the Atlanta business men Interested in the pro posed Board of Trade, t Atlanta dealers in heavy freight ^alm that this city is practically boxed up by the railroads and that business Is stunted because privileges- allowed Nashville. Birmingham and other Southern cities are not allowed Atlanta by the railroads. It Is said that the volume of busi ness, now amounting to about 1500,000 per annum, done by the grain people alone, would Increase four times If the railroads would accede to the demands and grant re-billlng. It appears that the Southern road holds the whip hand, as It Is the only road from the West to the Atlantic seaboard. Orest Discrimination. Shippers clulm that Jacksonville and Savannah shippers get heavy freight at 2 cents per 100 pounds leas than At lanta. and this same freight must pass through Atlanta to get to these points. Practically the same rate applies to Macon. Nashville enjoys the re-billlng privileges nnd Is a serious competitor In this territory. rime, especially those patronised nnd conducted by negroes. We recommend that thin matter be carefully consid ered by the proper authorities, and that such of those places as are detri mental to the public good be discontin ued." MAKE ATTEMPTED A8SAULT PUNI8HABLE WITH DEATH. "We believe the crime of assault with Intent to rape should be made a capital ofTense In the discretion of the Jury trying the case. We are strengthened In this conviction by u case we have been called on to Investigate during our present service. It was a case horrible in all its details and of the most re volting and appalling cruelty. The of fender richly deserved the penalty of death, but he could only receive a sen tence of twenty years In the penlten- ilary. We do most earnestly recommend that our Immediate' representatives In the next general assembly use their earnest and best efforts to have a law passed in accordance with this recom mendation.” In regard to the fee system, the pre sentment gave the following as the giand Jury's opinion: Ths Fes System. “We believe that for years past every giand Jury has placed on record its < ondemnatlon the fee system in con- n*. tion with compensation of county officials. . Notwithstanding this fact, this vicious system seems us strongly Intrenched as ever, the members of ■hr legislature from this county having absolutely Ignored the repeated recorn- nn ndatlone of the various grand Juries curing all these years. We wish at the oul '*el to state that no reflection Is In tended on any of our county officials In mneetion with this question. It Is their method of compensation, not the "fficinlB themselves, that we are attack- ‘t'g- If the county executive committee v'tuld be Induced to submit the question 1 ‘ a vote of the people, we feel sure that an overwhelming majority of the Vutes would set the seal of their dis approval and condemnation on the sys- l * in. but up to this tlfne each suc- 1 ceding county executive committee ms declined to so submit the quest Ion. *t is a curious situation and really a travesty on republican instiutlons, that a few men should be able, year niter year, to thwart what segms to l>e "** almost unanimous wish of the Wers of the county.

As It is at present. Atlanta dealers who become overstocked with grain cannot get rid of the surplus without paying the much higher local rate, while the Nashville or Western dealer can re-bill the car out of Atlanta by wire. The Western shippers are al lowed privileges ln t Atlanta that the Atlanta shippers do not enjoy; there fore, the discrimination. It Is also charged that the roads dis criminate In favor of the small shipper against the large dealers by not allow ing what Is known as the differential. A mill or dealer may ship u car load of stuff to another mill or dealer and the road does not handle the car except to transport lL A small shipper gets h portion of a cur nnd the railroads have their clerical work Increased and the goods must be handled two or three times In some cases, yet the small shipment gets the same rute as the Mr. Morgan believes that Hooper Alexander, who is promoting the ex tension of the state’s mad to the sea coast, should be given all the support possible by the business interests of Fund Reaches $198,- 500—Lacks But Little of Total.

We would get better freight rates and bet ter service. "The statements made that the state lost money while operating this road are absolutely false, and the figures will prove it. Everybody who pre tends to know anything about It knows that while the state was operating this road every cent of surplus money not needed for running expenses was ex pended on extensions nnd new und ad ditional rolling stock.

TJie extension proposed by Mr. Alexander will be one of the greatest things for the state that ould be accomplished.” SPIRIT OF THE METROPOLIS SWEEPINGLY FOR HEARST, SAYS JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES Concord, N. H., Oct. 30.—la order to set at rest the report that her health was so undermined that she practically was unable to understand the affairs of the day, a private audience was grant ed by Mrs. Mafy Baker Eddy, heud of the Christian Science feet, to a limited number of newspaper correspondents at her home In Pleasant View, this after noon. The Interview was so surround ed with “safeguards" that It failed of Its purpose. The front part of the Eddy home stead was selected as the place for the Interview, arranged by Wilson, the Boston scientist. Questions Are Prepared. After the correspondents had ar ranged themselves about the room. Wilson stepped forward and told them that Mrs. O'Brien, of Rldgway's, who many months ago wrote a eulogistic account of Mrs. Eddy's life, would question the leader and that “as the correspondents are here on tolerance only, no other questions can be asked.” A list of questions had been prepared as follows: Mrs. Eddy, are you In perfect health ?" "Mrs. Eddy, have you any other phy- slclan than God?” "Mra. Eddy, do you drive out every day?” ‘Mrs. Etldy, does any other person other than yourself own and administer the property formerly held by you?" Insisted on One Question. This latter question was only placed on the list at the urgent request of th4 correspondents, who did not like t4 have stereotyped questions alone asked For a time those In charge objected to the question, but finally they an nounced that It would be all right. Then Wilson made a little statement saying: “Mrs. Eddy Is to receive you In her own home at my written request nnd she Is willing to meet the representa tive newspaper men because she wants to set nt rest the stories that she Is a confirmed invalid and unable lo do anything for herself. You are guests by her courtesy here and there must be no undue display.” 8ha Clings to Curtains. Mrs. Eddy was to walk down the stairs in the presence of the newspaper men and come Into the parlor and greet them. Then she was to walk out of the room, enter her carriage and go for her dally drive. Rut before she appeared the men who had taken up a position Inside of the parlor where they could observe her progress down the stairs, were surprised to see her footman. Sec retary Frye, whisper to the strong- armed nurse that stood In the doorway and iaw her draw across the curtains so that all view of the hall and stairs was cut off. For a space of five minutes tills was the rule, and then the curtains parted and the venerable form of the elderly leader appeared In the doorway. A slight, withered form It was, too, showing all too plainly the weight of Its many years. She half clung to the curtains, apparently supported by a hidden hand without the door, and Mrs O'Brien stepped forward to question her. " Questions Are Aeked. "Are you In perfect bodily health?' 1 rang out the clear soprano voice of young Mrs. O’Brien. "I am." It wos a pitiful attempt at an an swer. Mrs. Eddy stood In the door- "Music hath charms to soothe the restless spirit of the troubled prisoner," Is an expression that might be applied to J. H. Crutchfield, the machinery broker, held behind the bars of ths Toner, accused of shooting his wife and beating her In tho head with the butt end of a shotgun. In order that the time mav pass more pleasantly and the monotony of his prison life relieved to some extent, Crutchfield has had a splendid phono, graph removed'from his apartments to hla present quarters In the hospital ward on the fifth floor of the Jail, and Is amusing himself, as well as giving the other prisoners a treat, with tuneful music. With an audience composed of number of trusty prisoners, who are not confined to cells, and some news paper men, Crutchfield Tuesday morn ing was host at a phonograph concert About sixty records were token to the Jail with the machine, and on Tuesday Crutchfield sent nut and purchased twenty-eight additional records. “I suppose this ought to furnish me plenty of mulsc,” he remarked as the second batch of records was brought to him. In Jovial Mood. Crutchfield had Just been informed that his wounded wife appeared'much Improved Tuesday morning, and this, together with the music, put him In a Jovial mood. He seemed In better spir its than at any time since his arrest. Several rag-time pieces were played on the phonograph, and these Crutch field eeemed to enjoy very much. In looking over the records, he found the soon song: “I’d Rather Be Outside a-Looklng In Than on the Inside a-Looltlng Out,, and this at once struck his fancy. “Now, we have It," he exclaimed with a emlle. “Here Is something real ap propriate." This song appeared to please the prisoner more than any of tho others. A striking coincidence In connection with the playing of this coon song la the fact that It was sung In Atlanta on the occasion of the appearance of Haverly's minstrels by "'Billy” Beard, husband of Mrs. Crutchfield's sister nnd brother-in-law of Crutchfield. “Bil- 0Q00Q0000O0O00O00000O000O0 0 0 "RATHER BE OUTSIDE" 0 THAN BEHIND PRISON BARS.

Keeping Up Business. While a prisoner * In the Tower. Crdtchfleld Is still attending to Ms brokerage business. His mall Is brought to the Tower and every morning he re plies to his correspondents, Ills stenog rapher going to the hospital ward to write the letters. Two negro women prisoners were 111 the hospital ward Tuesday and Crutch Held remarked: "These are my maids." “I also have a valet," he said with smile. Crutchfield said he had been ren dered as comfortable as possible and that the confinement was not worrying him very much. "Everything about here Is kept clean anil nice,” said he. "and to tell you the truth. I had rather he here than 111 sbme hotels. The kitchen, at lease. Is more Inviting." Paul Crutchfield, eldest son of the prisoner, visited him at the Tower Tuesday and brought hla mall and magazine. Crutchfield will be defended by At' torneys Reuben R. Arnold and Van A, Batchelor. Piss of Insanity. When asked whether he Intended to plead Insanity, as has been reported, Crutchfield said: You will have to ask my lawyers about that." He stated that at the time of the shooting he was terribly wrought up, billWould not say whether ha consid ered himself Insane at that time. It Is generally believed, however, that emo. tlonnl Insanity will he his defense. > Ills attorneys, when questioned, Stated they were not prepared tc give out a statement, as they hod not con suited with their client. It was announced at tho Grady hos pltal Tuesday that Mrs. Crutchfield Is considerably Improved anil that It Is now believed she will recover. She slept well Monday night, and Tuesday was much stronger and brighter. Crutchfield says he will apply for bond as soon as IBs wife Is declared out of danger. USE BLASTS TO BRING UP Fifty -Three Corpses Rescued From Penn sylvania Wreck. DRAWBRIDGE LOCK CAUSE OP DISASTER It Failed to Close Properly, Sending Train in the Stream, (Continued on Pegs Three.) By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. New York, Oct. 30.—Confidence ra diates from the Hearst headquarters. Not a man feels any doubt of a tri umphant conclusion of Tuesday's elec tion. •Mr. Hearst seems serene, but Is never over-confident. Ills speeches are the wonder of the campaign, and not even Bryan's \vere more effective. They are brief, compact, packed with meaning anil powerfully delivered. Unlike our Southern campaigners, he rarely speaks uver twenty minutes, but he makes eight speeches In a day. In a powerful Impromptu speech at Syracuse last night, answering the Telegram, the evening edition of James Gordon Bennett's Herald, he declared that he had labored, with the Hughes campaign managers to agree upon an absolutely non-partisan Judicial ticket. The partisan refusal of Hughes and managers forced the Democratic Inde pendent ticket, which Includes two Re publicans and Is a clean, safe ticket In every way. He defended his Incorporation of newspapers by saying that the object of every trust was to limit production and raise prices, but that his lapers had Increased production of all New York papers from eight and twelve pages ten years ago to sixteen, twenty ami twenty-four pages, and had de creased prices from 2 to t cent—the op posite of trust methods. The spirit of the Metropolitans Is sweeplngly for Hearst, and even money can hardly buy the election away from him. It Is recalled that In 1893 Republic ans had more money 1n Now York than ever before and lost by an unprece dented majority, anil that the Demo crats Itsve never had more money than in the last Parker campaign. In which they were overwhelmed. So that money not always wins In every Instance. Max Ihmsen tells me that he expects Hearst to come down to the Harlem liver with as many votes as Hughes and leave the city vote as a clean ma jority. If tills Is verified. It looks like 100,000 majority fur Hearst. support her, and her body tottering, as she surveyed her questioners, tried to oemprehend what It was all about. It was plain that she considered her pri vacy had been outraged, but that a stronger mind than her own had Im pressed upon her the necessity of mak ing a good Impression. "Have you any other physician than God?" "Eh—what? Oh, yes, J hear you. I have none other physician than God. I ant resting In His everlasting arms." Assisted Into a Carriage. As Mrs. Eddy concluded her beauti ful testimony, which was only hulf au dible to those about her, she turned Heartily away toward the all-powerful Freye, who. In the uniform of a fnet- man. stood ready to assist her to the waiting carriage. Mrs. O'Brien pushed forward, clear ing the hall. "Mrs. Eddy," she begged, and the tone of the tearful pleading In her voice was very manifest, “won't you pl;ase tell us this: do you drive out every day?" Rut Mrs. Eddy paid no heed. She apparently murmured something which the waiting stenographers, sent there liy the people in control lo make the Interview “official," took the "yes," but to the listeners It. sounded more like a tired mono. •" She was assisted Into her carriage by the buxom nurse a»d the Interview was terminated. HARRY ROLLESTONE DIESFR OM A C ClDENT Well Known Clerk Passes Away at Hospital. Harry RoIIeiitone, manager of the lin en department at Keely’a, died Tues day morning at 4 oYloak at the'Grady Hospital• from the effects of a shock caused by a heavy counter falling across his legs In a Whitehall street store Monday night. Ills ankle was broken In two places. Mr. Holleston was 66 years of age. He had been with Keely’s for the pant twenty-five years as sales man, and an department manager. He was very popular with the patrons of the store and no salesman In Atlanta was more widely known. He was con sidered one of the most efficient and competent employees of this big de partment store. Monday night Mr. Rollestone was In a store on Whitehall street. Counters were being changed, and when leaned upon a temporary counter, his added weight tipped It over. The heavy piece of furniture fell across his legs, breaking one ankle In two places. He was carried to the Grady Hospital, but the shock was too great and he died despite the efforts of the ph5'slcians. He came to Atlanta over thirty years ago. He was born flfty-slx years ago In Balllnamallnrd, county Fermanagh. Ireland. He Is survived by a second wife and three children, James, More- ton and Maude Rollestone.

The bodies were released by the cor oner late yesterday. The crowds which suw them depart were hushed and silent and mnny who had sustained no personal Injuries by the wreck Joined the bereaved In weeping. It Is generally believed now that tho failure of the drawbridge to lock prop erly was tho sole cause of the horrible accident. Trucks of Cars Raised. The railroad company's divers and wrecking crews have raised all trucks of the derailed cars and only the frame work of the two rear cars remain. It Is these the company wants to dyna mite, but which Coroner Gasklll and Mnyor Stoy have forbidden.
