Mayor Joyner Silent
Regarding His Se

The great topic of conversation and of
donbt and cariosity around the city hall
now Is Muyor-elect Joyner’s appointments.
‘Who's going to be head of this commit*
tee, and who will be the head of that? Who
Is ogtng to be mayor pro tem.7" These are
the questions that are being fired back aud
forth from one to the other, and Invnrlably
the answer Is a negative shake of the head.
“Cap” Joyner has the art of wrardtng off
questions down to perfection. Of course the
heads of all the departments want to know
who Is going to he chairman of the commit*
tee relating to that department. He asks
the mayor-elect. Then “Cap” laughs. , hits
hint a sounding slap on the shoulder and
starts off on a long verbal treatise on the
beautiful weather.
Then the councilman and the aldermen
are exceedingly anxious to know to which
committees they will lx* unpointed. All of
them like to get on Important committees,
but there are hardly enough important ones
to go around. But the mayor-elect Is as
calm-like to them ns he re to the depart*

It Is Understood That the
Shooting of Fairchild
Was Accidental.
New York, Deo. 20.—Advices from
Mukden, Manchuria, today say that
the American vice consul, Nelson Fair-
child, was shot and killed In that c'ty.
He Is a son of Charles Fairchild, of the
brokerage firm of Charles Fairchild &
Co., of 29 Wall atreet. The dtspatchea
from Manchuria gave no definite In
formation concerning the shooting, but
it Is believed It was accidental.
The state department will receive full
particu arc In a day or two from the
American consul.
Nelson Fairchild was about 26 years
old, and cnly a few years out of Har
vard. His appointment as vice consul,
gazetted about four months • ago, was
credited to Mrs. John Hay, widow of
the lnt« secretary of state, a friend of
the family. His mother went to Cali
fornia a .few days ago. He was a
member ef the Harvard Club and of
the Now York Zoological Society.

Alderman F. A. Qnllllan will be mnyor

parliamentarian and he will no donbt make

As Councilman Tatteraon retiree with the

Important committee la the lot. It la pretty

Washington, Dec. 20.—Representa
tive Hardwick, of Georgia, has already
been assured of wide support In the
house for his hill to compel all rail
roads to adopt the telegraphic block
signal system In the handling of all
trains and to require the examination
and licensing of all telegraph opera
tors engaged- In managing the block
signals. .
It Is asserted on high authority to
day that the Interstate commerce com
mission Is In sympathy with his plan.
He had a conference today with sev
eral members of the commission, and
although the nature of the conference
Is kept from the public, the fact that
there was a conference Is conclusive
evidence that the commission would
like to see the blit passed and will do
everything In their power that Is prop
er for such a result.
Tho feature of the measure allowing
the Interstate commerce commission to
regulate the number of hours the tele
graph operators shall be employed Is
also highly recommended In the house.
Hardwick said today his motive
Mr.
In Introducing the bill was to do away
with the repetition of the appalling
wrecks that have occurred recently on
some of tho railroads of the country.

WANT SUBTREASURY
LOCATED AT MACON
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 20.—Postmaster Ed
wards made a public atatement yes
terday that Macon stands a better
chance, from the standpoint of loca
tion, to secure the sub-treasury than
any city now working to secure it.
This statement will have the effect of
causing a general movement on the
part of Macon business men to bring
this city before the authorities at
Washington.
It has been stated that Georgia, Ala
bama and South Carolina have the
only chances of securing the sub
treasury, and citizens of this city are
Inclined to the belief that Macon will
be able to show a strong hand when It
comes to explaining how easily the dis
tribution can be made.
