Atlanta has dropped out of the South

thereby made incomplete. The Atlanta
magnates have delayed their withdrawal
from the league In the hope that the rail

to their assistance, but President w. r.

The cause OF the trouble is the refusal of
the street car companies TO join the direc-
tors, and help them to bear the expenses
of the club. Mr.. Meyers stated that the
directors put up $1,000 last season, a great
portion of which was lost, while the street
car companies reaped the benefit. and they
did not purpose TO repeat the act this sea-
son.
Atlanta still retains It's franchise in the

Prof d. L. Frantz gave one of his famous
War-Graph entertainments in Nelson Me-
mortal Hall on Saturday evening to an
audience which filed the auditorium. Nearly
all have seen the moving pictures, but never
before had they the pleasure of seeing the
actual scenes Of battle reproduced on canvass
with the frightfully grim reality of deadly
conflict The scene Defending the Flag"
where few brave artillerymen hold their
gun and flag against the determined on
slaught of detachment of skirmishers, was
realistic enough, but the massacre of Cretan
women and the pillage of Cretan home by
blood thirsty Turks was truly shocking to
sensitive nerves. The dynamite cruiser

Spanish Notifications was an example OF
gun cotton's terrific force and is scene not
to be soon forgotten. The entertainment

THE LABOR COMMISSION.
Men who May Solve the Great In
dustrial Problem.


Washington, oct. 19.-The govern
ment Industrial commission held two
sessions at the capitol yesterday and
decided to adjourn over until Nov. Is,
when active work will begin. The COM
mission organized by the election OF
Senator Kyle as chairman, eX-Repre-
sentative Phillips of Pennsylvania as
first vice chairman and Representative
Gardner, chairman Of the house COM
mittee on labor, as second vice chair
man. There was strong fight made
on the secretaryship, and an election
to that Office was deferred until No
vember. 1t was decided to establish
headquarters at the Bliss building II
this city, facing the capitol.
Most of the opening session was de-
voted to speeches of members of the
commission as to what should be the
scope of the Investigations. Mr.. Ratch-
ford, of Indiana, representing the min
ers' organization, aaid that the chief
trouble of the miners is the lack OF
education, a problem which should
have the serious consideration Of the
commission. Much of the labor trou'
bes particularly Of the miners, was due
to ignorance Of the American Language
and Institutions on the part of a larg,
percentage of the woTkmen.
Mr.. Farquhar, of Buffalo, who Il
identified with the typographical union
also emphasized the necessity fo
greater education among laborlng In
terests. The high class of intelligence
found among the typographical classes
he attributed TO better educational
facilities, and said its members had
less trouble and friction than almost
any other organization.
In a general way the speeches pointed
out that the chief aim of the investi-
cation is to discover the reasons for the
conflict between labor and capital, and
make recommendations for remedies;
that the country will look for import
ant results and the bringing about OF
great good to the masses.
