Sam D. Jones and J. Wilie Pope. Tho retirement of tho present head of Ihe Chamber of Commerce from bit-position of honor and responsibil ity under pressure of accnmmulating business cares, Is a matter of regret to many people In Atlanta. Few men have Impressed them selves more happily and wholesomely upon this community than has Sam D. Jones. He Is essentially one of the strong men of this era of Atlanta's life. His temper Is large, his mind Is wholesome, his spirit kindly and bis head clear to the comprehension of every business and moral question that the times present. In his con nection with the Chsmber of Com merce and with Atlanta's business life both tn an Individual and executive capacity, he has distinctly won not only the admiration, but the absolute confidence of the people about him. and ho carries away from Ills all too brief executive connection with Atlan ta's great organisation, such a reputa tion as any man might be proud to win for himself and to hand down to his children. From this time forth until the end of bis strenuous chapter, Bam D. Jones Is a marked and honored fig ure In the history of Atlanta. J. Wile Pope, the new president of the Chamber of Commerce, typos lu an unusual degree the spirit of the New Atlanta. An Atlanta man, native to the soil, Imbued with tho traditions and triumphant over the conditions of the laBt two decades In Atlanta, he la a fitting representative of that younger cHtxenry which has won Its spurs In politics and trade and has established leadership In the actual achievements wblch It has recorded before the suu has reached meridian lu tbeir lives. ,• Mr. Pope fronts now a brilliant op portunity to express In executive ca pacity. lu tact, In initiative, and In vigorous common sense the qualities which have already won him wide recognition, and which In this new- and larger body are likely to win him advancing popularity and Increasing fame. To the retiring president of the Chamber of Commerce, wo regretfully say Au Revolr. and to the new presi dent of Atlanta's great business body we cordially apeak the AU Hail which carries both welcome and prophecy. The Mayor's Veto of Franchises In the absence of the reasons which may have Influenced the mayor ) In his veto of the Intcmrban trolley franchise The Georgian Is not prepar ed to comment aa freely aud assured ly as it otherwise- would do. Crediting the mayor with only the highest motives of public policy In bis obstructive message, we yet are Inclined to believe that he has made a mistake lu thwarting the progress of these large enterprises which meau so much to the prosperity and devel opment of the city of which he has been chosen the executive head. There can be no doubt but that much of Atlanta's growth and no little of Its commercial prosperity will de- liend upon these greatly Increased facilities between this metropolis and the smaller cities along the lines touched by these luterurban trolleys. That proposition is so clear and pat ent that It scarcely needs to be elab orated' Why the mayor should Intervene In these matters of a right-of-way where the proper committees of the city council ’have given careful and frequent consideration, and have con cluded to grant Ihe franchise, we can- mil understand. , People who live In a city cannot expect to have unim peded streets In front of them, and there are few thoroughfares upon which sooner or later these trolley lines will not run. Wo cannot believe tbat any corpo rate influences could have had any possible affect upon the action of the mayor In this matter, and we do not see any other deterring force beyond the protest of the property owners along the right-of-way. This we cannot recognize as a legit imate obstruction In the way of prog ress, and If this Is the basis of the mayor's veto, we sincerely trust that the city council at the next meeting will muster in sufllclent force to over ride the Interdlxlt of the mayor. WHY THE TRAINS ARE DELAYED. The railroad situation la receiving Its full measure of publicity at this time. The delay In schedules has been a nuisance of an accumulative kind. It'bai been growing-in thls-country for the last five, years with ever-in creasing force aqd. Inconvenience until It has now become universal, and the endurance of the peopls having been exhausted, they have risen In a protest which la being heard from one end of the republic to the other. In point of fact the railroads are perhaps no-more culpable now than they have been for the last five years, and the same causes which are producing these broken and disorderly and unreliable schedules are the causes set In motion some years ago. Four years ago In the western and middle states, where this condi tion first became evident, It was a fact that scarcely a train between Pittsburg and Chicago and In all that region of the middle west wna ever approximately on time. In most of these Instances the causes were given In worn out engines, disordered cars and overwhelming pressure of freight. The rallroada had so much business oh their hands that they had actually not been able, to send their engines and cars to the repair shops as they bad been accus tomed to do ’at stated Intervals for the last twenty years. Every car and every engine has been taxed to Its last limit of capacity, and If thla re sulted in broken engines and broken cars and twisted axles, and In whee zy and insufficient valves, the public had suffered, but the vast and over whelming volume of freight bad moved on as best It could. As the years have gone on, the railroads out of the very flood of their own prosperity have had . the grace to order other engines and other cars even If they could not stop to repair those already overtaxed. Hut even this accession to the equipment of the ‘ transporatlon lines has not availed to carry the enormous Increase in tho yearly volume of freights which are handed to them out of the overflowing prosperity ot-the country. The fact of the business Is that the cause of the most of .these delay ed trains Is fust the same today as Is was five years ago. The chief cause Is In the rolling nnd mountainous volume of freight that is given to these lines beyond their capacity to carry. The second reason Is found In the depleted equipment which does not have time to take for repairs from Its busy whirl of carrying trade. And so, while we are lu full and hearty accord with the clamor for better schedules, and while we join with all our contemporaries In urg ing the concentration of energy and effort.on the part of railroad officials to rectify the serious evils that are Interfering with commerce and con venience, we cannot fall to realize az well the explanation which the rail roads would doubtless offer if they should speak. This Is only another Illustration of the fact that the whole country Is positively groaning tindor the volume, and weight, and overlapping tides of Its own prosperity. The Atlanta exposition of 1910 died be cause the country was too prosperous to want it or to give It attention. Manufacturers and merchants will almost declare that they cannot fill any more orders than they are now receiving, and the throb of the air In business. In manufactories and In transportation la toward expansion and the Increase of facilities to create products to mcot the demand of an age almost riotously rich and almost ruinously prosiierous all over the world. ' It may bo a paradox to say It, but half the Inconveniences we are suffering In this tremendous day aro born of the prosperity for which we havo clamored so lqng and which wc are now hugging so happily to our full and throbbing bosoms of trade. The railroads hold responsibilities so vast that we expect tof them ex traordinary efforts to meet the necessities and conveniences of a people that have been compelled to lean upon them tor these things for so many years. And wc sincerely trust that with the earnest prodding which the press, the .people and commerce are all giving to the railroad officials, that they will vindicate their claim to commercial confidence and the re public In this period of need. Let us have double tracks and a double equipment of engtues and cars. THE LAW’S EXPEDITION. Having pleaded so often for prompt action In the trial of criminal cases, it now becomes a pleasure to commend with all heartiness the calling by Judge Roan of an Immediate term of the criminal division of Ihe superior court to try the negro Glsnn, charged with rape. Judge lloan is always sincere and conscientious, and his prompt ac- tlou In thla matter la an Index to tho sincerity of his appreciation of the very serious times In which we are living. The law’s delay Is too often the law’s undoing, and tho law’s swift . effectiveness, lu tho face of these monstrous violations, will do more to reestablish the reign of hiw and the reverence for courts than any series of platitudes or resolutions. Tho negro Glenn should lie given a fair trial under regular forms. If he Is pronounced guilty, he should puy the extreme iienalty of the law Just as toon as the forms of the law- will permit him to hang by the neck until be Is dead. Hut tho example set by Judge Roan Is one which should meet the emulation of every Southern court. DON’T BREAK A BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL. We would suggest to our esteemed contemporary of The Constitu tion that it Is devoting more time and space to The New York Evening Host than the Importance of that paper demands. The columns of sectional stuff which The Post Is emptying upou the Race Question does not have a very wide circulation even In tho city lu which The Post Is published, and a very attenuated atreum of readers in the section of country round about. More than that,-The Post has been known for years as a Pecksniff, and Is not ranked among Ihe virile nnd vital papers of the times In which wo live. At the time of the Atlanta riots no paiwr In the North was more unreasonable and persistent In Ita defamation of Atlanta aud the South than The Post. An Instance of the unethical and almost disreputable tactics of The Post was Illustrated in Its treatment of the editor of The Georgian. It credited to the editor of The Georgian uttorances tbot had l>ecn wade In another paper, and credited also to The Georgian utter ances upon this Race Question which had never been made In these col umns at all nr by the editor of thla paper at any time. A Mile note to the editor of The Post explaining these facts and requesting the Justice of a correction was met- by tho astonishing answer that ex-Congressman Fleming, of Georgia, had repeated substantially the same charge against the editor ot The Georgian and that for thla astonishing reason The Poa’t could not correct It. In point of fact, Mr. Ftemlug had never made any such charge as The Post repeated agalust The Georgian, although ho did go out of his way In a most unnecessary manner to credit to The Georgian a state ment which It had never made. The Post is essentially a Negro Lover. It is Joined to Its Ideals be yond the |lower of seiiaratlon and for oqr own part we are heartily In fa vor of letting It alone. In any question In which the negro Is concerned The Poet has neither eyes to see nor to balance wbat It sees. It rushes Instantly to the negro side of-the question whether the other side lie held by a Southern editor or by the president ot the I’nlted States. The Poal toward the negro recalls very much the story of Sam Jones as told nlxrat himself some years ago. The great evangelist had been preaching a powerful sermon to the negroes, and among the hundreds who waited to Bhakc hands with him was one old "mammy" with a red handkerchief and a lullaby bosom who walled at the gate after the -others had passed out ami who grabbed him as he started home with the statement: "Mnrse Jones, I Just wants to breas yon for dat sermon. You surely Is do nigger preacher. Folks may say yon lias a white-face, hut I knows you has got a Mack heart." And so with The New York Post. "It surely Is the nigger impor. Folks may say it has a white face," hut we are quite sure it "has a black heart." TO DISSOLVE THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY IS THE OBJECT OF SUIT Assistants of Moody Get Evidence Against Giant Combine. Continued from Page One. Its service, and It Is alto charged that the trust has forced 16 Independent re finers, now doing business in Pennsyl vania and Ohio and procuring their, crude oil through the Standard Oil Company’s pipe lines, to sell nil of their exmrt oil to the Stapdurd, thereby eliminating their competition. This contract was procured through threats, It Is said. It Is charged that tha trust, through Its Influence and by reason of its large tonnage, sells substantially all of the lubricating oils to the railroads of the United States, that the prices are from CO to 10O per cent more than the prices which other manufacturers are witling to sell-the same'and that these exces sive prices ore willingly paid by the railroads In order that they may get trust business, and that this Is the payment of rebates. Driven Out of Business. The bill points out many Instances where the trust has driven Independent dealers, refineries anil. Jobbers out of business, it explains the operation of bogus Independent companies; the sys tem of secret rebates and reductions, and division of territory. It chin ges that the system of Illegal favors lias been brought about through ownership and Influence of the indi vidual defendants anil others Identified with their interests. The total value of nil property con trolled by the Standard of New Jersey except such as may have been pur chased, Is 669,020,798, according to Its own valuation. It Is declared that upon this capital the Standard, from 1882 to 1895, Inclusive, paid 6H2.940.084 of div idends and has created a large surplus. It Is alleged that the property at the present time exceeds the value of 6200,- 000,000. Its annual dividends during the last nine years have run from 66 to 48 per rent In addition to the surplus. ALLEGATIONS OF GOVERNM’T IN THE STANDARDOIL SUIT FILED THURSDA Y IN ST. LOUIS 1 GOSSIP! IN REAL ESTATE DEALS ARE DEFINED In a decision bunded down Thursday ■by the supreme court In the case of Uowdery vs. Greenlee Important points are ilsterinlned regarding obligations Involved In contracts for real estate. The case Is a local one. Mrs. Minnie D. Cowdery sold to Mrs. M. H. Green lee a house and lot In Atlanta. The purchase prlke was fixed ut 64.200. The purchaser was to assume an Indebted ness of 62,600 on tho property and pay the balance of 61,700 In cash when satisfactory titles were made. The right to decline to perform the contract was reserved If titles were not satis factory. Borne objection was raised by the purchaser and she declined to comply with the agreement. Mrs. Cowdery then gave notice that she would resell the propery amt hold Mrs. Greenlee lia ble for the difference In price and costs Involved. The property was sold for 64,000 nnd Mrs. Cowdery sued .Mrs. Greenlee for 6600. On trial the case was non-suited, and It enme to tho supreme court, which holds thnt the non-suit ror. The head note reads; "After a prospective purchaser of land under an executory contract of sale bus pointed out his objections to the title and has declined tn perform, for specific reasons assigned, he can not in defense to a suit for damages for a breach of contract, urge additional objectlona to the title which the owner was given no opportunity to meet, and which were known to siich purchaser at the time the specHlc objections were made. “Under u stipulation that the pur chase will be made unless the vendor's title be ‘legally Insufficient’ and be shall fall to perfect the same within a rea sonable time, it Is not tha right of the purchaser to demand a perfect record title or to refuse to pay the purchase money simply because one of the inlnu- ments of title Is a deed which Is not attested In such a manner mi to entitle It to record, there being no pretense on Ills part that a failure tn Imve It duly registered In uny way affected the validity of the vendor’s title. "The refusal of the purchaser to i*r- fnrin will not give to the owner the right to resell the land at the risk ot Washington. Nov. 15.—The statement Issued by the attorney general this morning regarding the .Standard Oil case Is os follows; “In June last, by direction of the president, Messrs. Kellogg and Morri son were appointed by me special as sistant attorneys general to act with H»e assistant to tho attorney general purely to make q'n Investigation of the Standard Gil Company of New Jersey, and Its business of refining, transport ing, distributing and selling oil through the United States; to ascertain all the facts and report whether or not, In the opinion, there has been a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law by the company or the persons or corporations associated with or managing It.
