LAWYER LADsON ON TRIAL.
Proceedings to Have Him Desbarred
Taken Up at Atlanta.


Atlanta, Ga, May 1O.-The dlsbarment
proceedings against c. T. Ladson, a we'll
known member of the Atlanta bar, which
were instituted by Maj. ]. B. Cummings
of Augusta in consequence of certain al
legged acts of Ladson's in the conduct of
a case on trial in Augusta. were taken
up this morning before Judge ]. II. Lump
kin of Fulton Superior Court.
Maj. Cummings, assisted by Col. ]. R.
Lamar of Augusta, appeared to prosecute
his charges, while Mr.. Ladson was repre-
scented by Washington Dessau of Macon,
Judge ]. W. Aiken of Gainesville and
half dozen Atlanta lawyers.
At the opening Maj. Cummings offered
an amendment to his original charges.
adding two more specifications. One of
these new charges was that Mr.. Ladson
wrote a letter to a client of his named
Battle asking him to see another man
who had just been hurt in collision on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad and
get this man to let him represent him
in suing the road for damages.
This amendment was allowed by Judge
Lumpkin after a determined fight by
MIR. Ladson's attorneys.
The other amendment, which charged
that Mr.. Ladson solicited Mrs. Mary e.
Moore to Marietta to allow him TO size the
Western and Atlantic Railroad Cor her
on account of the killing of her husband
was not allowed, because the court held
it was barred by the statute of limita-
tons
Great interest Is being manifested in the
case by local attorneys. The original
charge was made by Maj Cummings, who
represented the railroad company, which
was being sued by Mr.. Ladson for client
upon an allegation that Mr.. Ladson had
offered TO pay witness for his testI-
mony in that case, giving him share
in the judgment. MIR. Ladson contends.
however, that all he proposed was to pay
the expenses of this witness, who had to
come some distance to the trial in Au-
gusta. The case will be continued to-mor-
| row.

Re Col. LaVvtOn's-SOme Think Col
Brown's Will Be Selected Because
He Is an Army oHcer-Atlanta No
Longer a Military Center.
Atlanta. Ca. May 1O.-As military cen
ter Atlanta has ceased to be in it, so to
speak.
When preparations were first commehc-
ed for the clash with the Casulians II
seemed that this city was to become the
cynosure of all eyes.
First report had il that it would be Sc
Iected for the mobilization of the regular
army which, however, went to Chickamau-
ga.
Then it was announced that Atlanta
was to be the rendezvous for the volun-
teers of the state, and later on for the
mobilization of at least one of the volun-
teer armies
But these last two honors have slipped
past the Gate City like the first, and now
the only war attraction left Is the little
collection of Spanish prisoners housed up
at Fort Mcpherson, where nobody can get
a glimpse of them. except, perchance as
they are being marched to and from the
mess hall each Gay.
Atlanta does not come in even for the
mobilization of the state troops, but rs
outclassed by Griffin.
Instead Of having the eyes of the state
looking this way as the gallant soldier
bows take their places in camp, Atlanta
has to be content with crowding about the
depot to watch a company from Athens or
rome. or somewhere else pass through en-
rouse to Camp Northen.
To-day the only military event of the
city was the passage of the Augusta con-
tingent, along with that of squad from
Rome, and the departure of the tail end
of Capt. Barkers local company.
The capitol was deserted, completely
ghorn Of its military establishment, with
the single exception of Capt. Irwin, act
ing adjutant general, who continues TO
hold forth In that deserted department..
The Governor left early in the day for
Griffin, but did not return until this even
ing
The war department at Washington
seems to have forgotten Atlanta, too, as
nothing has been heard from that source,
either concerning equipments or the dis
position of the troops now being organ
tied.
The main question of the interest to-
day seemed to be which of the two regi-
ments would be mustered in first and thus
get preference in the army of invasion I'M

terday. but there was no one here who
could throw the faintest ray of light upon
this little problem. The impression, how
ever. prevailed that Col. Lawtons regi-
ment would be first ready for mastering
and that, therefore, it would be the one 70
so to Tampa while Col Brown and the
two light batteries will remain in the state
to do coast defense work
On the other hand, some military men
here seemed to think that Col Brown
would be preferred for this duty on ac-
count of his service in the army, and as
there are some 400 Atlanta boys in Coz,
Browns regiment, there was lively specu-
lation upon this point
