HOME OF THOMAS JEFFERSON.
The Present Owner Refuses to Sell
the Historic SPOT,

Washington, April H.-Hon. William j.
Bryan. who was the guest of honor at
the Jefferson dinner here last night, left
for the west to-day. Before his departure,
Mr.. Bryan was asked about the rumors
that he was to purchase Monticello, the
home of Jefferson.
II have felt for some years." replied Mr.
Bryan, that Monticello, the home of
jefferson, should be made a national park
in order that all his followers might feel
free to visit the place and gather inspira-
ton from its sacred memories. Having
this thought in mind, l wrote to Jefferson
Levy, the present owner. asking whether
he would sell IL on condition that II be
conveyed to the national government or
the state of Virginia, or some association
similar TO the Mount Vernon or Hermit
tage associations formed to care for it. l
have just received a letter from Mr.. Levy
In which he expresses a desire to retain
the ownership of 1t, and assuring me that
a welcome will at all times be extended
to visitors. / appreciate Mr. Levy's de-
sire to retain possession OF the property
which has been in his family for many
years. He has kept Monticello up at his
own expense and feels a just pride in the
possession OF such an historic place His
refusal 20 part with II, of course, puts an
end to any plan of raising, by subscrip-
ton. a sufficient fund to purchase IL, and
l only mention the matter now because
the correspondence has become known
and have received many inquiries re-
garding the matter"

SENSATIONAL CASE SETTLED.
Prosecution of Harrington and De-
IaigIe Abandoned

Waynesboro, Ga, April 1.-THE Her
-sngton-Delaigle suits came to trial to.
day, and the prosecution and cases were
marked settled by consent of the court
after investigation by Solicitor General
Davis at the defendants cost.
DR.. P. L. Harrington is a well known
physician of Waynesboro and one of the
most prominent citizens of Burke county.
He was indicted for conspiracy. At the
time DR.. Harrington was indicted true
bill was also found against Nathan Delai-
gle, an insurance agent In the employ of
the Connecticut Indemnity Association of
Watertown, Conn. The Connecticut In
demnity Association charged that both
Dr. Harrington and Agent Delaigle had
been guilty of fraud in that they repeated
ly attempted to misrepresent parties pre-
sented for insurance in that company. 1t
was alleged that they secured a policy on
the life of Handsford Sapp, representing
him as 5S years old and of good health. He
was rs years old, a pauper in wretched
health and died a month after the policy
was issued.

VEAL TO BE TRIED.
The Health Board to Investigate the
Charges Against Him.


Atlanta, Ga, April 14.-Following the
action of the city council yesterday In sus-
tanning the veto of Mayor Collier, which
put stop TO the proposed investigation of
the charges against Chief Sanitary In
spector Veal, the board of health was
called together to-day, and decided to
take the matter up.
The mayor was present at the meeting
of the board. and at his suggestion the
prosecution of the charges was placed
in the hands of the city attorney, who
worked up the evidence upon which the
council committee preferred its charges.
This indicates that the sanitary depart
ment is to be given a thorough turning
over. Many sensational statements have
been made as TO the intention of the health
board 10 whitewash Chief Veal, and the
case has taken on additional interest on
that account. The action of the mayor
in calling in the city attorney is believed
10 have been prompted by these charges.
The sanitary committee of council will
also sit with the board In the trial. so as
TO add this further guarantee of good
faith and quiet the clamor over the at
fair. Charges have been made that the
members of the health board are them
selves implicated in some of the irregular
tiles by purchasing horses, etc, from
Chief Veal, which had been bought by
him for the city. Chief Veal put in an
informal demand for trial at the meeting.
and the investigation will begin to-mor-
row

turned TO Save Her.
Macon, Ga, April 14.-Marion Harris,
counsel for Mrs. Elizabeth Mobiles appear
ed before Judge Smith at Jacksonville
this morning and made a motion to set
aside the judgment which fixes Mrs. No
bles' execution for April %. Motion was
made on four grounds.
The first. because sentence specified date
less than time allowed by law.
Second, that the sentence does not re-
cite the fact thai the defendant was called
upon to show cause why sentence of death
should not be pronounced.
Third, because the defendant was
brought into court without habeas corpus
by the solicitor general, which is required
by law.
Fourth, because the defendant was sent
enced in vacation of court by Judge Smith
and not in regular term as the law
directs.
Judge Smith promptly overruled the mo-
ton.
Tomorrow Mr. Harris will tender a bill
of exceptions to Judge Smiths decision
which will probably be refused Mr.. Har-
ris will then file petition to the state su-
preme court for a mandamus to direct
Judge Smith to sign the bill of exceptions
and force him to produce the records Of
the case.

GRoWL OF GRIFFIN'S GRocERs
RAILROAD LOOK UPON THEIR DE-
MAND AS UNREASONABLE.

They DO Not Think the Commission
VIII Grant the Reduction Asked
For and Claim II Would bankrupt
the Roads IL 1t Were Granted-On
the other Hand the Petitioners In
siSt That the Carriers Would Net "A
Fair Profit at the Reduced Rate.
Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-THE application
of Brewer e Hanleiter, wholesale grocers
of Griffin, for a horizontal reduction of
80 Is per cent. in local freight rates now
in force in the state. win come UP for
hearing before the state railroad commits
sion next Tuesday.
From present indications. the hearing
will draw TO 1t most of the leading rail-
road managers of lines doing business in
Georgia. The railroad men, however, do
not take the application very seriously.
They are disposed to regard it as too I'M
reasonable upon its face to receive much
consideration at the hands of the commits
sion, though of course, they are bound to
appear and make the showing under the
order issued The railroads say that the
enforcement of anything like the demand
made by the Griffin merchants would
bankrupt them all within a very short
space of time, as they cannot make divi-
dends now.
On the other hand, the petitioners claim
that there has been large decrease in
through rates all over the country within
the past few years, in Georgia as well as
elsewhere. and, therefore, there ought to
be corresponding reduction in locals.
They claim that they will be able to show
to the commission that the reduction ask
ed for could be granted and then leave the
roads a legitimate profit.
Since the filing of the application a
month ago, the Griffin merchants have
been diligently at work trying to get other
merchants in various parts of the state
to join them in their fight. but so far as
the railroad commission is advised the
Griffin merchants are as yet the only par
ties in the record. Others, however, may
be put in when the case is taken up.
Discussing the case to-day Commits
sioner Haines of the Southern States
Freight Association said: THE rates
which the commission is asked to reduce
80 1-3 per cent were made to that body
after mature consideration, and were pro-
mulgated as just and reasonable rates
II tney were just ana reasonable then a
reduction of one-third could not be just
unless there had been a great increase
of tonnage and revenue. The Atlanta and
West Point railroad is the only one in this
territory that 1 can think of which has
earned and declared dividends recently. If
concrete case were presented by the
complaint, the railroads would know how
to meet it, but when they are called to
show cause why all rates should not be
reduced the question is one of infinite de-
tail. Yet they must be ready to meet it
in any phase which the compliments see
fit to present. The hardship of such a
proceeding is manifest. Lawyers don't
go there and put forth their best efforts
for nothing. and the time which railroad
managers must give to a case of that
kind amounts to serious interference
with their business

AspIres TO BE Sent rs Consul to

Charge of the Georgia Pie After
Col. Buck Leaves.
Washington. April I.-There were many
callers at the white house to-day on office
seeking missions.
Col. Buck called to see the President
to urge the appointment of Maj. Smyth
of Atlanta as secretary of the American
legation a Japan.
The indications are that Col. Buck will
not have much patronage to dispense in
Japan. as the office of first secretary Is
held by an Indiana republican. and the
second is held by the son of Rear Ad-
miral Sands of the navy.
Col Buck has recommended that the
legation at Toxic have a military at
tache and he win ask that Maj. John
Glen 0he drummer boy of SHILOH now
quartermaster on duty at Atlanta, be de-
tailed for that position. Col Buck has
talked the matter over with the Secretary
of War. and the latter looks with favor
upon the proposition in view of Japan's
rapid growth in military science. Maj.
Glenn is a soldier of fortune and he viii
probably accompany Col Buck to Japan.
Col Buck has decided to recommend
mi ma
second assistant district attorneys for the
northern district. These two appoint
ments are to be made before Col. Buck
leaves for Japan.
Among the other Georgia visitors at the
white house were Representative Living
ston and Rev. DR. I. S. Hopkins of Attain
ia. DR.. Hopkins desires to be appointed
minister to Greece. He realizes that his
aim is pretty high. and he might be in
duced to take something equally as good.
Col. II. F. Farrow. accompanied by j.
3. CASTOR, Bill Pledger and S. w Easley,
were also at the white house. The quar-
tette were unaccompanied by a congress-
man, and Col .sBuck was not on hand,
hence they did not get an opportunity
TO talk with the President.
Representative Walker of Virginia pre-
scented w. McH. Gish who would be min
lister to Hayti.
Col. Buck having been confirmed by the
Senate, will at once make preparations to
leave for Japan. In his absence, Maj.
Hanson will be the referee in Georgia
matters The politicians would prefer Mr..
johnson, but the administration wants
the advice of Maj. Hanson.
Representative Fleming called upon
Postmaster General Gary to-day relative
to the Augusta postoffice contest Mr..
Fleming said it would be a violation of
confidence to repeat what the postmaster
general stated, but il is understood that
an immediate change is not expected 1t
is believed the matter will be delayed until
the administration has further opportu-
nifty to look the field over for an accepta-
BILE white man. The name of T. l.. Full
lerton has been suggested. He is said to
be well thought of by the business men of
Augusta, but he cannot obtain the polit-
zeal backing of the republican bosses.
