so many statements have been made
At various times as 70 the losses Mss
Lillian Russell has entailed upon Abbey,
Schoeffel & Grau that il may be well to
give an authoritative and undeniaoie
statement about it. Some people put these
losses as low as $4,000. but when any
body mentioned such figure as $4,000
he was put down as personal enemy
Of the fair prima donna. 1 asked A1au-
rice Grau the other night, now that the
season was practically over. to give ne
some sort OF an idea what the outcome
of the two years would really be fnan-
cially. And he said: I can see no rea-
son for not being candi9 about it. We
have lost on Miss Russell net, in cold
cash, $4,000 in the two seasons. l sup
pose Il will go a little over that. She
has been the most expensive luxury we've
ever had 70 deal with. For, while IL -
true that we have met losses and are
willing TO face them, ! think the only loss

Women to be Presented.

Atlanta. Ca, June A.-The case of Mrs.
Elizabeth Mobiles, the Tw!ggs county muir
deress who was yesterday sentenced to be
hanged on Aug. Z, is to be brought before
Gov. Atkinson. An earnest appeal will be
made TO him to spare the life of the aged
woman. Prior to the taking of the case
into the federal courts, which secured an
indefinite stay Of the penalty, an organ
lied movement was made by leading wo-
men Of the state to bring strong public
sentiment to bear upon the governor when
the law courts had been exhausted in her
behalf. As nothing more can be done in
the courts, the plea will now be made to
him. 1t will be presented first by Mrs
NJ. L. McLendon of Atlanta, and Mrs j.
A. Thomas of Macon, who will meet Gov.
Atkinson at the executive Office tomorrow
afternoon. Mrs. Thomas is president of
the Georgia division of the Kings Daugh-
tiers, and viii officially represent that So
ciety in her plea for the life of Mrs No
bles. Mrs McLendOn is president of the
Atlanta Equal Suffrage Association, and
is officially connected with a number of
other societies, petitions from all of
which she will present.
The Kings Daughters of the state have
prepared a petition signed by several
thousand women, which the governor will
be asked to consider when he passes upon
the fate of the murderess. 1t is said that
the petitions the ladies will present to
Gov. Atkinson will bear the names of more
than 100000 women of Georgia.

LAID LOW FOR THE LAWYERS.
FULTON COUNTY's GRAND JURY
STIRRING THINGS Up.

The Court Censurcd for the Large
Fees Allowed Lawyers IN Recefv-
crshID Cases - The Legislature
Urged TO Make il SIiSdemeanOr
90 Take "A Case ON a Contingent
Is, Zee.
mn Atlanta, Ca, June 23.-The Fulton cOun-
nj, y grand jury made a report to-day that
Tn embodied several sensational features. II
lac seems that the body had knife up its
ms sleeve for the legal fraternity. First. af-
.eh ter roasting the county management in
-dergeneral the courts are given dig on ac-
traount of big fees allowed lawyers in re-
.e cosvership cases. Unless greater mod
is exercised in this direction" the
report says. after an unqualified condem-
nation OF the big fees in receivership
eases, mo firm is safe. We are convinced
that there are corporations and concerns
whose substance has been dissiDated in
this manner and many Of them would
have weathered the financial storm and
to-day been earning money for creditors
and stockholders. but for the hope Of a
fat fee TO be allowed by the courts out
of the wrecked estate"
Then the grand jury jumped on the con-
tingent fee business. which has long been
a nuisance among local lawyers. 1t has
come 10 a pass. the report says, that any
irresponsible person who walks the streets
of the city can on the merest preteXt have
a dozen lawyers running after him ready
10 bring suit on a contingent fee, hoping
TO extOrt from the defendants by cOmpro-
mise a judgment.
The jurymen call upon the county repre-
sentatives in the legislature 20 have en-
acted a law making II msdemeanor for
q lawyer TO take a case on contingent
fee.
A law compelling county officers TO keep
a record of the fees of their offices is also
called for. County officers, the report be-
lieves, are servants of the people. and the
people have a right to know how much
Compensation they get. At present this is
a public mystery.
The general management Of the county's
finances is criticised as loose and unbusl-
nesslike, and an auditor is demanded to
straighten out the finances and keep them
straight.
Another important demand made upon
the legislature is the passage of a law
making officers who accept bonds respon-
sible the same as bondsmen There have
been many straw bonds forfeited by the
local courts, and the reform is the result
of this looseness.

BLACKBURN IS WARY.
Not Trusting to Promises of His Op-
peneEts.

FRANKFORT, KY: Jan. 19.-The city is
filling up tonight with the friends of Black
burn and Hunter. Although the leaders Of
both parties had agreed that there should be
no balloting for senator till Feb. 4, or until
after the successor of Wilson had qualified
yet the nominees of the caucuses seem to be
so suspicious of each other that they are
marshaling their forces here for balloting In
both houses separately Tuesday and the
friends of Hunter claiming he will be de-
clared elected Wednesday.
Some Republican senators insist they will
join the Democrats in postponing the election
till after Wilson'S successor arrives, as there
was authority for the agreement. Some of
Hunters most ardent supporters think the
scheme to postpone the election of a senator
was trick in the interests of Bradley or
Yerkes, and that they should, therefore, not
abide by it. In addition to the opposition
from those who want to stand by the COM
promise agreement, Populst Poor has become
estranged from Hunter, but he says he will
never go TO Blackburn, so that it does not
seem possible for any election OF senator to
occur this week. The deadlock between
Hunter and Blackburn, with their fighting
friends on the ground is expected to make
trouble. Both sides are very determined and
suspicious.

WARREN, Mimi, Jan. 19.-For many
years the producers of the Northwest
have suffered at the hands of the eIeya-
tor companies. The farmer has done
all that he could to protect himself,
but every move he has made has been
met by a counter move on the part
of the elevator combination. In. the
main the producer, the tiller of the soil,
has been compelled to accept whatever
the lordly wheat grabber saw fit to
allow him as compensation for the
his investment
All sorts of schemes have been work
ed upon the poor agriculturist, who
has scarcely been able to keep his
head above water, while the wheat
barons have grown richer every year.
In the early eighties the elevator sys-
tenn began to extend itself, and now its
arms are stretched out over the entire
wheat producing district of the North
west like those of a gigantic octopus
and its elevators are like the suckers
or that hideouS monster. Like the
octopus, the elevator monopoly seizes
the victim with it's powerful arms
then saps it's life through the almost
numberless suckers.
The producers began early to fight
the wheat combination, ring, or what
ever name may be properly applied to
It, They have succeeded to a limited
extent only. Their pleas for fair and
just treatment were met with promises
Whlch were not fulfilled. Their at
tempts at controlling the wheat hand
ing business through the machinery of
the law were always fought by a lobby
IN the employ of the wheat ring. Their
plans for the erection Of private or
Cooperative warehouses were thwarted
