of all the women and children In the

She seemed to be especially fascinat

Ills chubby legs to form a link in the
Juvenile chain, and contented him If
with a place to one aide. The govera-
eea grabbed up the baby and ran to
the ahljnt rail and laid the little one

From developments here It Is be
lieved that the Federal grand Jury In
'lie United States district court at

or so.
.Station Sergeant W. A. Turner,
Turnkey W. H. Bostwlck and Jeff Ar
nold, the colored Janitor at the police
hurracks, have gone to Rome to testify
before the grand Jury.
Out of the meager facts obtainable
here It seems that some contractor,
presumably In coal and Iron mines, In
that section has been sending an agent
to Atlanta who would pay the fines of
negroes locksd up at the station. These
negroes were token to the camp and
there held practically as prisoners.
It is understood that the facts were
secured by using a decoy. The govern
ment sent a man here who got himself
arrested. The agent paid his fine and
the man was carried to the camp and
confined. He secured Inside facts, and
It la understood that there may be sen

The Anil-Saloon League, meeting In
the Weeley Memorial Church:
Dear Brethren—I regret that an en
gagement that takes me out of the city
prevents my personal'attendance upon
your meeting. It ’la called, I under
stand, to reconsider the question of
bringing on an election of prohibition
at this time In Atlanta. In discharge
of what I conceive to be a duty to-the
Anti-Saloon League and to the cause
of temperance In |h)s city, 9 ask to sub
mit for your consideration certain facts
In my possession, access to which has
been sought by the press, but which

as you counsel together.
Two weeks oy more ago. Just after
your last meeting, at-whlch time a pro
hibition election wa* resolved on in the
spring, there came to my ears through
members of the committee appointed
by you, of which I am not a member,
rumors of decided opposition among
those formerly active in prohibition
movements In Atlanta. Fbr the guid
ance of my own Judgment and to know
what the situation was exactly, I ap
plied to the pastors of the following
churches for the names of two hun
dred and forty men who In their Judg
ment were their leading members: The
Nprth Avenue Presbyterian, Central
Presbyterian, First Presbyterian, First
Methodist, Trinity Methodist Park

would have been extended to every

The following was the letter sent:

New York, Nov. 10.—"I ought to kill

EACHTREE FLATS
TO COST $90,000i
WORK HAS BEGUN
Another evidence of Atlanta's grow th
nnd of the faith people with money to
Invest have In Atlanta dirt, waa shown
when a building permit was applied
for Tuesday by E. M. Yow, of the E.
M. Yow company, for a large, modern
Hut house to |e erected at Went Peach
tree nnd North avenue.
When completed, and work has al
ready commenced on it, the new build
ing will represent an Investment of
something llko $90,000 and there will
be nothing like It in Atlanta, and It h
doubtful If anything ns up-to-date w ill
be found In tho South.
The building will be five sGuit-s
high and contain 123 rooms. These
will be divided into 25 flats with every
modern convenience. The building It
self is expected to cost about $75,006
but with the land and other expenses,
is thought the total cost will be iu
the neighborhood of $90,000.
In addition to every modern conven
ience known by architects the new
apartment house will be provided with
a cafe on the ground floor for th«
tenants to patronize should they not
desire to do their own cooking.
Work will be pushed and it Is hoped
have the building completed within
few' weeks.
