Federal Government
to Clip Its Tentacles
in the South.
sew York, Nov. 15.—'Entrgetlc of
forts arc being made by the Federal
,ov*>raiment to clip the tentacles of;
,hr,t hits come to be known ns tin* tar
inline trust anil the United States
district attorney here Is co-operating
nltlt the United States attorney for the
southern district of Georgia.
The turpentine ••combine" lias Its
headquarters In the South, and many
complaint* have been received by the
government authorities concerning Its
operations. It Is alleged that a hard-
and-fast agreement exists between the
various constituent companies belong
ing. to the so-called trust, nnd that tho
business and territory have been di-
T lded up In regular octopus fashion.
Conference is Held.
A representative of the district at
torney at Macon, Ga.. It Is learned, has
been In conference with the district
attorney here, and It Is understood the
government Is on the trail of the ron-
eern. It l« Intimated that the turpen
tine trust so-called Is Inllucnced and
controlled to a greater or less degree by
the Standard Oil Company, although
gover nment official* arc disposed to be
reticent on this phase of the question.
It Is known, at any rate, that Standard
Interests In tne past have entered to
absorb the turpentine und rosin Indus-
trv. hut how far they have succeeded.
If nt nil. remains to be disclosed.
Relations are Suspected.
The determination of the government
t.> dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
If possible, by means of a suit In equity
and Its announced Intention to make It
bm for the Standard alt along the line,
appears to Justify the opinion that the
Federal authorities strongly susfiect
that Intimate relations exist between
the two enterprises.

ON FRANCHISE OF
ELECTRIC RAILWAY
Mayor Woodward ha* vetoed tho or
dinance granting a franchise to the At.
lanta and Carolina Construction Com
pany for a light of way on certain
streets of the city for interurban rail-
ways to Conyers and West Point.
“I am not opposed to having the road
come here," Maid Mayor Woodward,
“but I am opposed to the route the
road has selected. It Is entirely too
circuitous. There Is no reason In tho
world why this Interurban railroad—it
Isn’t a street car line—should be al
lowed to pass along all these streets.
“Ah a matter of fact, the Interhrban
company could select n suitable route,
against which there would hardly be a
single protest.”

Disregard Laws.
"But here we have a railroad com
pany to come In and do several weeka
work, without .any authority or per-
inlnsion from the city council, and
nothing la dono to even call their at
tention to the fact that It la unlawful.
The,city's laws have been entirely dis
regarded.
“It |s usually customary when the
property belonging to another Is ap
propriated some arrangements for mak-
iPg. Just and proper reparation" and
paying just compensation for It are
usually made. Rhodes street doesn't
exist now cast of Haynes strsst for
two blocks, and the city Is none th*
better for It.
"The petition of the company is now
pending before the streets commute*
and some of the blue prints have Just
been received. The matter has not yet
been considered, yet several street*
have been closed unij obstructed and
the worlTbf construction has gone right
.on. I think something ought to be
done."
Msyor Woodwsrd's View*.
Mayor Woodward was asked Thurs
day morning what authority the road
or cbntractors had for proceeding with
the work, but said he did not know Just
what privileges had been granted by
the city council. He remembered that
something had.been done by council,
but he was not acquainted with the
nature of the action. He said ths road
was not doing the work, anyway: the
contractors were doing It.
"The breaking of the Water main did
not cause any Inconvenience to the
city,” said Mayor Woodward, "and no
expense resulted from It. The contrae
tor* have already been In the office to
find out about paying the expenses of
the accident. No householders were
discommoded, because all of them have
been moved away east of Haynes
street.
"If Rhodes street ha* been closed,
continued the mayor, "no one In that
section of the city has been put to any
inconvenience, because none of the poo.
pie living in that vllcnlty uses or Itaa
used that street. Magnolia street has
not been closed and traffic can get
through. The building of the trestle
has not closed that thoroughfare.”
The mayor did not appear to bo dis
turbed or the least bit uneasy about
the action of the contractor* In pro
ceeding with the grading of the Gals
City terminals, as he claims the work
Is not Interfering with anybody.
Chairman Key said Thursday morn
ing that the only action the city coun
cil of Atlanta had taken In connection
with the work on the terminals was th*
granting of permission to remove and
tear down several houses on the prop
erty purchased by the company In the
vicinity of Mangum nnd Rhodes streets.
John Lily.
The funeral services of John Uly,
who dropped dead after eating dinner
Monday afternoon, will bo conducted
Friday afternoon at 8:3<8 o'clock. The
Interment will be In Westvlew ceme
tery. He was a member of Chief Jen
nings' Buttery Troup* Artillery, during
the civil war.

Reasons for Dr. Jaegers Reforms
THE EVIL EFFECTS upon health, due to tho material aud form of the ordinary clothing, were
hardly suspected until Mr. Gustav Jaeger, of Stuttgart, begun to publish the results of his investiga
tion on the subject.
This distinguished German physician has established the fact that most bodily ills may be pre
vented or cured by the adoption of proper clothing; nud he has constructed 11 system based on the
Sanitary
Woolen
principle of pure animal fibre for clothing and betiding. Hence, the “Dr. Jaeger
System.”
Fundamentals of Dr. Jaeger’s Sanitary Clothing System.
1. Animal Wool is a material provided by Nature for the clothing of an animal bodv.
-• Man, therefore, can be clothed naturally or properly* only in clothing of unimai material.
3. Woolen Clothing exerts its beneficial influences by virtue of its non-conductivity of heat aud
electricity, its permeability to moisture, its attraction for air and its repulsion for water.
These properties of the Dr. Jaeger Women Fabrics, and their relation to tho functions aud exhala
tions of the skin, constitute the basis of the “Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System."
Dr. Jaeger’s Underwear in three weights, light, medium and winter. For men aud women.
Single garments and Union Suits.

STANDARD OIL CEASES ITS
LOCAL BATTLE ON PRICES
Tile prosecution In Ohio of the
Standard Oil trust and the Indictment
In that state of John D. Rockefeller and
other Standard Oil magnates is being
felt In Atlsnta In the cessation of the
tight by the oil trust against local com
petition.
It Is learned Thursday from the
Georgia oil Company, which has been
competing here with the Standard Oil
Company, that th* trust on Monday
put an end to Its policy of cutting be
low the prices of the local concern. On
that date the Georgia company re
ceived three cars of oil from th* Ohio
oil field* and put It on sale at 11 cents.
This Is said to be the same oil which
has been sold her* by the Standard nt
13 1-2 cents.
As soon as the Georgia company
commenced selling at 11 cents. Stand
ard oil promptly came down to the
same price, but has gone no lower.
This Is regarded as remarkable und at
the same time significant, as the Geor
gia company contends that heretofore
the trust has persisted In cutting be
low Its prices Immediately and on every
occasion. »
Just what this attitude of the trust
signifies Is a matter of conjecture.
