Wilie Pope. The retirement of the present head of the Chamber of Commerce from his position of honor and resitonslbll- Ity tinder pressure of accummulatlng business cares. Is a matter of regret to many people In Atlanta. Tew men have Impressed them selves more happily and wholesomely upon this community than has Sam O. Jones. He Is essentially nue of the strong men of this era of Atlanta's life. His temper Is large, his mind la wholesome, his spirit kindly and his head clear to the comprehension of orory business and mural question that the times present. In his con nection with the Chamber of Com merce and with Atlanta’s business life both In an Individual and executive rapacity, he has distinctly won not only tho admiration, but the absolute confidence of the people about him. and ho carries away front his all too brlof executive connection with Allan, 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 tho end of his strenuous chapter. Bam D. Jones Is a marked and honored fig ure In the history of Atlanta. J. Wllle Pope, tho now president, of the Chamber of Commerce, types In an unusual degree the spirit of the New Atlanta. An Atlanta man, native to tho soil. Imbued with the traditions and triumphant over the conditions of tho last two deendes In Atlanta, he la a fitting representative of that younger clttxenry which has won Its ' spurs In iKdlllcs aud trade and has established leadership In the actual achievements which It has recorded before the sun has reached meridian lu (heir lives. Mr. Pope fronts now a brilliant op portunity to express In executive ca pacity, In tact. In Initiative, and In vigorous common sense tho qualities which havo already won him wide recognition, and which lu this new and larger body are likely to win him advancing popularity and increasing fame. To the retiring president of tho Chamber of Commerce, we regretfully aay Au Rcvolr, and to the new presi dent of Atlanta's great business body we cordially speak the All Hall which carries both welcome and prophecy. The Mayor’* Veto of Franchises. In the absence of the reasons which may have Influenced the mayor In his veto of the Interurban trolley franchise The Georgian Is not prepar ed to comment as freely and 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 in thwarting the progress of these large enterprises which mean 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 do- I lend upon these greatly Increased facilities between this metropolis and the smaller cities along the lines touched by these Interurban 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- eluded to grant tho franchise, wo can not understand. People who live In u 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. We cannot believe that any corpo rate Influences could have bad 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 aa a legit imate obstruction in the way of prog ress, and If this la the basis of tbe maypr's_veto, we sincerely trust that the city council at the next meeting will muster In aufllclent force to over ride the interdlxit of the mayor. WHY THE .TRAINS ARE DELAYED. Th'e railroad situation Is receiving Its full measure of publicity at this time. The delay lu schedules has been a nuisauce of an accumulative kind. It has been growing fn this-country for the last five years with ever-in creasing force and inconvenience until It has now become universal, aud the, endurance of the people having been exhausted, they have .risen In a protest which Is being heard from one end of the repnbllc to the other. In pbint of fact the railroads are perhaps no-more culpable now than they have been for tbe last five years, and the same causes which are producing these broken and disorderly and unreliable schedules are tbe causes set in motion some years ago. Four years ago in the western and middle states, where this condi tion first liecame evident. It was a fact that scarcely a train between Pittsburg and Chicago and In all that region of. the middle west was 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 railroads had so much business on their hauds 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 eve/y engine has been taxed to Its last limit of capacity, and If this re sulted In broken engines and broken cars and twisted axles, and In whee zy and insufflclent valves, the public had suffered, but the vast and over whelming volume of freight had 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 It they could not stop to repair those already overtaxed. But even this accession to the equipment or the trsnsporatlon lines has not availed to carry the enormous Increase In the yearly volume of freights which are banded to them out of the overflowing prosperity of the country. The fact of the business Is that the cause of thte most of these delay ed trains Is Just tho same today as Is was five years ago. The chief cause Is In the rolling and 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 Us busy whirl of carrying trade. And so, while we are In 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 sorious evils that are Interfering with commerce and con venience, we cannot fall to realize as well the explanation which the rail roads would doubtless offer if they should speak. ’ This (■ only another Illustration of the fact that the whole country Is positively groaning under tbe 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 Is toward expansion and the Increase of facilities to creato products to meet the demand of an age almost riotously rich and almost ruinously prosperous all over the world. It may be a paradox to say It, but hnlf the Inconveniences we are suffering In this tremendous day are horn of tho prosperity for which we havo clamored so long and which wo are now hugging so happily to our full and throbbing bosoms of trade. The railroads hold responsibilities so vast that we expect of them ex traordinary efforts to meet tho necessities and Conveniences Of a people that have been compelled to lean upon them .for these things for so ninny years. And we 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 coafldence arffl the re public In this period of need. Let us hnve double tracks and a double equipment of engines and cars. TO DISSOLVE THE STANDARD OIL COMP AN Y IS THE OBJECT OF SUIT Assistants of Moody Get Evidence Against Giant Combine. ALLEGATIONS OF GOVERNM’T IN THE STANDARDOIL SUIT FILED THURSDAY IN ST. LOUIS I GOSSIP Continutd from Page One. THE LAW’S EXPEDITION. Having pleaded eo 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 tesm of the criminal division of the saperiov effort to try the negro (ilenn, charged with rape. Judge Roan is always sinoero and conscientious, and his prompt ac tion ill IUM •mailer Is an Index to the. sincerity of his appreciation of the very serious times In which we aro living. The law’s delay Is too often the law’s undoing, and the law’s swift effectiveness, In the face of these monstrous violations, will do more to reestablish the reign of law and tho reverence for courts than any series or platitudes or resolutions. The negro Glenn should be given a fair trial under regular forms. If he Is pronounced guilty, he should |iay the extreme penalty of the law Just as soon as the forms of the law will permit him to hang by the neck until he Is dead. Hut the example set by Judge Roan is one which should meet the emulation of every Southern court. Its service, and It In also charged that the trust has forced IS 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 all of their export oil to the Standard, thereby eliminating their competition. This contract was procured through threats. It Is said. It Is charged that the 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 50 to 100 per cent more than the prices which other manufacturers are wIHlng to sell the same and that these exces sive prices are willingly paid by the railroads In order that -they may get trust business, and that this Is the payment of rebates. Drivsn Out of Business. The bill points out many Instances where the trust has driven Independent dealers, refineries and Jobbers out of business, it explains the operation of bogus Independent companies; the sys tem nr secret rebates and reductions, and division of territory. It charges that the system of Illegal favors has been brought about through ownership and Influence of the Indi vidual defendants and others Identified with their Interests. The total valse of all property con trolled by the Standard of New Jersey except such as may have been pur chased, Is |6»,020,7*8, according to Its own valuation. It Is declared that upon this capital the Standard, from 1883 to 18*5. Inclusive, paid 8812,*40,084 of div idends and has created a large surplus. It Is alleged that the property at the present time exceeds the value of *200,- 000,000. Its annual dividends during the last nine years have run from 33 to 48 per cent In addition to the surplus. IN REAL ESTATE DEALS ARE DEFINED Washington. Nov. IS.—The statement Issued by the attorney general this morning regarding the Stsndard oil case Is as follows: "In June last, by direction 6f the president, Messrs. Kellogg and Morri son were appointed by me special as sistant attorneys general to act with the assistant to the attorney general purely to make an Investigation of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and Its business of refining, transport ing, distributing and selling oil through the United States; to ascertain all the facta and report whether or not, In the opinion, there has been a violation y>f the Sherman anti-trust law by the cpmpany or the persons or corporations associated with or nianagfng It. The counsel -have completed that duty and tbe report of their Investigation has re- "That the individual defendants. In 189*, increased the stocks of the Stand ard of New Jersey from ten million to one hundred and ten million: that said company was then a producing and selling corporation and added to Us corporate powers, of purchasing stock In other companies and all of the pow ers exercised by the trustees under the unlawful trust agreement of 1882. Merely the Same Concern. "That tbe Standard of New Jersey, then taking the place of the trustees, acquired all of the stock of the corpor ations theretofore held and controlled by the trustees, paying therefor by the Issue of Its own shares In exchange. "That the president of the board of trustees became the president of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, and the same persons (the Individual defendants) who had directed the busi ness of the trust, then assumed the celved Consideration by the president a™ ht« .. n hin-i direction of the company, and have anti nis caDinet. eve r ||nc( , cont | nue<l „ DON’T BREAK A BUTTERFLY ON A WHEEL. \Vt> would suggest to our esteemed contemporary of The Constitu tion that It Is devoting more time and spqce to The New York Eveqjng Post than the importance of that paper demands. The columns of sectional stuff which The Post I* emptying upon the Race Question does not have a very wide circulation even In the fclty In which The Post Is published, and a very attenuated stream or readers In the sectlou of country round about. More than that. The Post has been known for years as a Pecksniff, und Is not ranked among the virile and vital itapers of the times lu which we live. At the time of the Atlanta riots no paper In the North was more unreasonable and iierslitont in Us defamation of Atlanta and tbe 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 tbe editor of The Georgian utterances that bad been made 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 or by the editor of this pairin' at any time. A polite note to the editor of The Post explaining these facta and requesting tbe Justice of a correction was met by the astonishing answer that ex-Congresaman Fleming, of Georgia, had reiiested substantially the same charge against the editor of The (Georgian and that for this astonishing reason The Post could not correct it. In ixiint of fact. Mr. Fleming had never made any such .charge as The Post repented against The Georgian, although he did go out of his way in a most unnecessary manner to credit to The Georgian a state ment which It Imd never made. The Post is essentially a Negro Lover. It is Joined to its ideals be yond the iiower of separation and for our own |»art we are heartily In fa vor of letting it nlone. In any question In which the negro Is concerned Tlte Post lias neither eyes to Bee nor to balance what it sees' It rushes Instantly to the negro side of the question whether tbe other aide lie held by u Southern editor or by the president of the United States. The Post toward the negro recalls very much the story of Sam Jones us told about himself some years ago. The great evangelist had been preachlug a powerful sermon to tbe.negroes, and among the hundreds who waited to shake hands with him was one old "mammy” with a red handkerchief and u lullaby bosom who watted at the gate after the others had iwssed out ami who grabbed him aa he started home w4th the statement: "Morse .lours. I Just wants to bress you for dat sermon. You surely is dr nigger preacher. Folks nmy say you has a white face, but t knows yon has got a black heart." And so with The New York INiat. "It surely is the nigger i*a|s-r. Folks may soy It bus a white lace,” but we are quite sure U "bas a black heart." In a decision handed down Thursday by the supremfe court In the case of Cowdery vs. Greenlee Important points are determined regarding obligations Involved In contracts for, real estate. The case Is a local one. Mrs. Minnie D. Cowdery eold to Mrs. M. If. Green lee a house and lot In Atlanta. The purchase price was fixed at 84,209. The purchaser was to assume an Indebted ness of 82,800 on the property and pay the balance of 81.700 In cash wheji 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 hen gave notice that she would resell the propery and hold Mrs. Greenlee lia ble for tho difference In 'price and costs Involved. The property was sold for 84,000 and Mrs. Cowdery’ sued Mrs. Greenlee for 8600. On trial tbe case was non-suited, and It mine to the’ supreme court, which holds that the non-suit was er ror. The head note reads: "After a prospective purchaser of land under an executory contract of sale has pointed out his objections to the title and has declined to perform, for specific reasons assigned, he can not In defense to a suit for damages for a breach of contract, urge additional objections to the title which the owner was given no opportunity to meet, and which were known to such purchaser at the time the specific objections were made. "Under a stipulation that the pur chase will be mode unless the vendor's title be ‘legally Insufficient' ami he shall fall to perfect the same within a rea sonable time, Il Is not the right of the purchaser to demand a perfect record title or to refuse to pay the purchase money simply because one of the mlnu- ments of title Is a deed which is not attested In such q manner as to entitle It to record, there being no pretense on his part that a failure to have It duly registered I., any way affected the validity of the vendor’s title. "The refusal of tlte purchaser tq per form will not give to the owner the right to resell the land at the risk of the former and hold him liable for u and his cabinet.

During the melee,- young Snodgrass, with handcuffs on his wrists, made an effort. It Is said, to leap from the the- ater-balcony Into Marietta street, but was prevented from doing so by quick action on the part of Officer Gallaher.
