THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TIIL'ltSl».\V. NUVM.MHLIl II 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. IT 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.” f CHARITIES TO ELECT OFFICERS ON FRIDAY INCREASE IN YEAR FOR POSTOFFICE If present rote of Increase In ■ the l—tnl receipts for the Atlanta pustot- tic • continues throughout the year the Increase for 1906 over 1905 will be over 1125,000.

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.

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."

CkamLerlin-Johnson-DuBoss C 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.
