TALK OF A RACING CIRCUIT.
Some Good Towns Could he Made in
and Near Georgia.

Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 5.-There Is a
growing sentiment among the different
racing associations of Georgia for the or
ganization of a regular circuit of races
next fall, and they may make it a circuit
similar to those found in all Northern
states. Those with whom the writer has
talked suggest that a circuit be formed
somewhat as follows: Atlanta, Macon,
Augusta; Savannah, Charleston, S. c.;
Jacksonville, Fla; Valdosta, Waycross
and Brunswick.
1t is argued that the genral secretary
Of the circuit could so arrange dates that
they would be acceptable to each and ev-
cry one Of the associa lions and yet ar
range that the distance between the diff
ferent cities would be reduced to a matter
of comparatively few miles.
A circuit that is suggested from the
pick OF good racing points is as follows
Atlanta first, from Atlanta to Macon, from
Macon TO Augusta, from Augusta to
Charleston, from Charleston to Savannah
from Savannah TO Brunswick, from
Brunswick to Waycross, from Waycross
to Valdosta. and from Valdosta to Jack
sonville, all short distances.

ADVANCE IN COAL RATES.
Railroad Commission HAS Entered a
Gentle Protest.

Atlanta. Dec 5.-The State Railroad
Commission to-day addressed to several
railroads and the Southeastern Freight AS
ISOLATION a letter touching on the proposed
advance of 10 per cent. in coal rates.
The letter makes no threat of action by
the board if the rates are increased, but
appeals to the managers concerned. and
points out why it would be unfortunate
for an Increase to be made at this time.
Ii is shown that the advance in rates
would probably injure new manufacturing
enterprises which are rapidly developing
in the state, and that any injury to them
would rebound on the roads.

DECIDED AGAINST QUAY.
The Senator Must Stand Trial in
the Philadelphia Court.
PETITIONERS MUST PAY COSTS.

rhe supreme Court Declares Itself
satisfied That the Petitioners Can
Have IA Fair aud Impartial Trial I'm
Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday dismissed the petition
of the defendants In the Quay con-
splracy case and the case will now go
back to the court of quarter sessions for
trial in the regular course Of procedure.
The petition had been filed on behalf
Of United States Senator Quay. his son
Richard r. Quay and former state
Treasurer Benjamin j. Haywood, who
asked for a writ of certiorari to re-
move the case to the higher tribunal
on the grounds that political prejudlces
would prevent them from getting a
fair trial in the county court.
Chief Justice Sterrett handed down
the opinion He merely announced that
the rule was discharged and the pc
tltion dismissed at the cost OF petition
ers. The chief justice filed an opinion,
concurred In by the entire court, but
this was placed on record without pub
lie reading.
Briefly stated, the court declares It
self satisfied that the petitioners can
and will have a fair and impartial
trial in this county.
The announcement of the decision
created a profound sensation in po-
litical circles and there is much specu-
latiOn as to its effect on the selection
Of a United States senator, for which
the state Legislature will begin ballot
Ing next Tuesday Senator Quay left
town for Washington yesterday after
noon without having expressed any
opinion concerning the case. He did
say, however, that he would be in Har-
risburg tonight The legislature will re
convene tomorrow.
District Attorney Rothermel said that
the trial will go on in the regular course
Of business, but he was not prepared 20
say when it will be heard. Although
Former District Attorney Graham, who
instituted the proceedings while in Of
fee, was engaged by his successor, Mr..
Rothermel as special attorney to con-
duct the case before the suprem court,
il is not known whether Mr.. Graham
will handle the case when 1t is resumed
in the quarter sessions.
The charges against the defendants
is conspiracy with John S. Hopkins,
cashier of the Peoples bank, who COM
mitted suicide when the bank failed
last March, to misuse state funds on
deposit there. They were arrested last
October. and after a preliminary hear
ing entered bail for trial. The date
fixed for trial has several times been
postponed. Senator Quay and his CO.
defendants have persistently alleged
that the prosecution is actuated by po-
litical enmities the aim of which is to
defeat his reelection to the United
States senate

ginning of the present administration.
was not made upon the request OF the

He has never held office except TO serve

smith For Expanslon.

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.-Postmaster
General Smith addressed the Contem-
porary club last night on The Future
of American Foreign Politics" His
speech was an eloquent endorsement of
the expansion policy. He argued that
this country has precisely the. same
right to acquire islands in the Pacific
that belongs to every other nation, and
that in doing so we do not trespass
upon any others province or transgress
any just rule of conduct. The Monroe
doctrine is not affected declared the
speaker adding: Nothing could be
more illogical than to say that our flag
should not remain in the Philippines
because their people are untitled to
come under American control, and then
to say that we ought not to undertake
to control them because they are en-
titled to self government"
