CITIZENS OF ROME
DO NOT WANT
STREET FAIR
COMMITTEE ASKS COUNCIL TO
REVOKE LICENSE, WHICH RE-
QUEST is DENIED IMME-
DIATELY.

ROME. Ca, Oct. "A committee Of cit
liens. composed OF Hon. Seaborn Wright,
Hon. L. A. Dean. Rev. B. F Frazier, Rev.
R. B. Headden. Rev. Mr.. Dodge. Rev. G.
G. Snyder. Mr.. W. H. wilkerson. Mr.. ].
A. Rounsaville and others. appeared be-
fore the city council late yesterday after
noon and asked that body to rescind its
former action in granting permission to
the Elks to hold a street fair here.
Hon. I. A Dean made the leading argu-
ment for the committee. alleging that the
council had no right. under the city's
charter and code, to grant the use of the
streets to any fair or company. Citizen
Dean insisted further that a regular IL
cense Is provided for shows of this char
acter, and the council could not abrogate
these statutes by allowing shows TO exhib-
il free.
Citizen seaborn Wright spoke Of the
moral aspect Of the carnival and the de-
moralizing influence II will exert.
Rev. Mr.. Dodge, pastor Of the Second
Methodist church, stated what had been
told him relative to the moral features Of
the company during its exhibition in At
lanta.
Hon. r. A. Denny, grand commander
OF the Elks in home. spoke at some length
before the council Mr.. Denny stated that
the Cincinnati Carnival company would
present only clean, moral shows in Rome,
and he extended invitations to the minis
ters of Rome and their families, the may
or and counc.. 10 attend the performances
free Of charge.
Commander Denny contended that the
Elks are a charitable organization, and
the proceeds Of the fair would go in aid
OF charity. He asserted that the church
held fairs and bazars and was not charg-
ed by the council; that patent medicine
vendors frequently blocked the streets
with their stands and devices. and that
the Salvation Army held meetings in the
streets.
At the conclusion Of argument the coun-
Gil went into executive session. The body
almost Immediately adjourned. without
Tevoking the former resolution, giving the
Elks and carnival company the use of the
streets next week.
The citizens committee intimated tina;
they would apply for an Injunction to pre-
vent the fair. A large crowd attended the
meeting Of the council and much interest
was shown.

BIRMINGHAM STRIKE
HITS IRON BUSINESS

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Oct 3.-If the
suspension of work at the coal mines is
anyway long-lived, it will have considera-
BILE effect on the iron market in this sec
ton. There is not a big supply of coal
and coke on hand, and If the mines are
shut down for any length of time it is
likely to have considerable effect.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company has a number of orders for iron
on hand and are pushing their furnaces
for the fullest output. All the coal that
can be gotten out is finding a ready de-
mand, either in the open market or at the
furnaces.
Now, with a number of their mines shut
down. il will be felt in a very short
while. The people in the Birmingham dis
trict do not believe the suspension Of
work is going TO last long. The prosperous
conditions Of the district do not permit of
gloomy view being taken of the situa-
ton.

] JUDGE MAY TURN
MOTORS ON
THE CARS
NEW ORLEANS TROLLEY STRIKE
is NOW IN THE COURTS ON
APPLICATION FOR RE-
cEVER FOR CO.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 4-The failure OF
the Canal street merchants TO effect anyi
modus vivendi on which the street car
men could return to work was dfsappoint-
ing to the people, who have new had seven
days of walking and riding IN uncemfor-,
table vehicles.
Tonight Mayor Capdevielle has again
taken the situation in hand and Is endeav-
oring to arrange a settlement on basis
of ten hours and 81 per day. Conferences
and exchanges of notes are now in prog
ress and viii likely continue until O'Clock
as has been the case every night since the
strike began.
In the meantime the railway company IL
making every preparation in systematic
way for the operation of their cars. Inc
barns have been fitted up with cots and
ranges and stores of groceries and sup!
plies have been put by. The barns are all
well policed and no one is admitted TO any
of them.
Receiver Is Wanted.
The most important development today
was the filing of a petition in the civil dis
trict court for the appointment Of re-
ceiver for the railway company on the
grounds of gross acknowledgement by the
officers.
Charles A. Favrot and L. A. Livaudais
are the stockholders and bondholder1 who
filed the application.
They ailege that the officers have neg
lected and made no effort to run cars,
causing a loss to the company Of many
thousands of dollars day. and thus 1eo-
pardizing the payment of interest on
bonds
Judge st. Paul fixed the hearing for
next Tuesday.
The. railway officials state that the Ill
ing Of this petition viii prove beneficial
to their interests, inasmuch as 1t WIN
bring the present controversy to head
It was announced by the railway ON
Gals that the filing Of the application Tor
a receivership would prevent them under
the advice of their attorneys from parfic-
ipating in any more conferences looking
to a settlement.
Nevertheless several communications
have passed between the attorney OF the
company and the mayor during the course
of the evening and the company's lawyer
was in consultation with the mayor for
an hour.
Nothing but mail cars were run today.
The wires were again cut on Carrollton
avenue at UrsUline and Broad streets. The
trolley wire was cut, a bakers mule walk
ed on it and was killed

The Canal street merchants have aban- I
doned their plan of calling a mass meet
ing of citizens tomorrow. Tonight they
met at the st. Charles Hotel and appoint
ed a committee Of two to wait on the
mayor and ascertain if they could be OF
any more service. They still maintain that
they viii have to close their establish /
ments unless a settlement is reached soon
AS the railway company has not YET
notified the mayor when it intends to op-

DOCTORS SAY ROOSEVELT
MUST TAKE A GOOD REST

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Secretary Cor
telyou this evening upon being asked as
to the condition of the president, said:
1.-The conference held yesterday was a
sever strain upon the president. While In
the judgment of his physician his progress
toward recovery has been satisfactory and
continues so. they feel that to avoid the
risk OF a set back he should be relieved
of any undue tax upon his strength.
Therefore for the next week or ten days
only such matters win be brought to his
attention as may be imperatively necessa-
ry for him to consider.

CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER
CONFIDENT OF ELECTION

Politicians from various sections of the
state were in Atlanta Saturday attend
ing conference called by Fondren Mitch
ell of Thomas, who is a candidate for
speaker of the house. The conference was
held at the Kimball house and was very
satisfactory, so those who attended 1t
say.
William S. West, of Lowndes, presided
over the meeting. Among those present
were Joe Hill Hall, of Bib; W. w. Os-
born of Chatham: w. e. Thomas, or
Lowndes: James p. Knight of Berrien;

speaker of the next house. w. w. Osborn,
who is one of the best known politicians

From the reports which received at

Journal reporter last night. Everything
seems to favor my election and believe
will be the next speaker"
Just what transpired at the meeting

of the conference, but it is understood
committees were appointed to work on
certain representatives and secure their
votes if possible.
Friends of Newton Morris were also

did not participate in the Mitchell con-
ference. Among the Morris supporters
who were here were William A. Knowles,

REPORT MORGAN is TO GIVE
FIRES FOR THE POOR

NEW YORK, Oct A statement is
sued by ]. P. Morgan & Company to-
night and given out by Mr.. Steele, mem
Der of that firm, says Mr. Morgan will
purchase $4,000 tons of English coal and
give to the poor of New York. The text
of the statement is as follows:
1T is learned today that the Information
al Mercantile Marine company has ar
ranged to purchase in England $4,000 tons
of the best domestic fuel coal for inn
mediate transportation to this country. The
shipments will begin at once, and be hur-
ried forward as rapidly as possible, even
at the sacrifice of the company's regu-
lar business II 1T should be found neces-
sary. f
This coal. as well as more, If required,
will be used to relieve any suffering or
scarcity that may exist among the poor
or in public Institutions"
The truth Of this report was officially
confirmed by the officials of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company.
The motive prompting such munifcence
at the hands of MIR. Morgan, 1t is limited,
is direct slap at the coal barons for fall
ing to settle the strike at the recent Wash
ington conference. Those who believe this
motive back of the gift assert that Mr..
Morgan sent for President Truesdale last
week and told him the strike must be
brought to an end Immediately.
President Truesdale is reported to have
said that Mr.. Morgan mixed In the strike
two years ago and made possible the situa-
ton as it exists today.
The starving out of the miners is also
limited at. Mr.. Morgan is not only the
head Of the shipping combine, who will
convey this English coal to New York. but
is also the master spirit of the coal situa-
ton. Tt is known that he is in constant
communication with, President Baer and
his associates and consulted with them at
washington over the long distance phone
before they presented their side of the sit
uation to President Roosevelt. With a
ship load of coal a day, which would not
tax the resources of the shipping combine
he can avert fuel famine and at the
same time starve out the striking miners.

THOUSANDS PLEAD
FOR. EXTRA CONGRESS

CHICAGO. Oct. Ask thousand Illinois
citizens during the last "a hours have sign
ed a petition asking President Roosevelt
to call an extra session of congress to
enact some measure for the prevention Of
a coal famine.
One method suggested in the petition is
provision for the appointment of tenn
porary receiver to operate the Pennsyl-
vania mines which are closed on account
of the strike. The petition is being cir
culated all over the city of Chicago and
throughout the state of Illinois, under
the direction Of U. S. Senator William
E. Mason.
There are numerous instances where
temporary receivers have been appointed
for the management of public utilities,
said Senator Mason land which afford
ample precedent for such an action in
the present emergency. Railroads have
been thus treated by the courts upon the
petition of the people. have in mind,
too, a case where a dispute between
municipal government and a waterworks
company which threatened to deprive the
people of a water supply, resulted in the
appointment of a receiver until the trouble
was settled"

dents of the coal roads yesterday, there is
little hope of securing any adjustment
with the operators by which the people
of the country may be supplied with coal.
1t is thought President Mitchell will con-
fer with his associates and IL they can
determine that the mint workers may
be fully as much benefited by the course
suggested as by continuing the strike,
and causing the widespread suffering
which is sure to follow a deadlock, it Is
expected that negotiations will be opened
with a view to carrying out the new prop
osition. Much viii depend on what may
he the miners view of the proposition and
whether they think it will cause a loss
Of prestige to the union from which it
cannot recover.
p VIII Not Attack Rates.
1t is not believed here that a resort to
proceedings against the coal carrying
roads on the charge of imposing unlawful
rates, as has been suggested, is prob
able, on account of it's impracticability
to accomplish speedy results in the pres
ent case. Should such proceedings be in
stituted the roads could protract the
litigation for two or three years in car
rying the case finally to the United States
supreme court.

However bamcworthy Senator Tllman may have
been with regard to the between himself and
Senator McLaurn in the senate it is perfectly apparent
to any fairminded who reads the record OF the
proceedings that day that Senator Tillman was
goaded into saying what he said by the senator from
Wisconsin.
OF course Senator Tillman should not have allowed
even the most persistent batting and goading rri.
tate him into making the charge he made against his
fellow senator from South Carolina If he had heen a
cooheaded the very fact that his adversary
trying to provoke him would have made him more
wary. A like Senator Bailey for instance, in his
place would put aside Spooners series
provoking questions with the utmost good nature Civ
ing him withal rap the vanity knock on the
conscience that would have cured him in short
But Senator Tillman is very hotheaded This
while does him, does not lessen the guilt
OF the man who deliberately provoked him.
In his speech Senator Tillman replied very effect
lively to the speech Senator Spooner made in rela
ton to the Philippines. More than he scored and
scored heavily against the senator from Wisconsin
He quoted him against himself, always an extremely
annoying, although effective, method OF attack He
prcked the bubbles of his professions oyeytoppled
his house of cards arguments.
The senator from Wisconsin naturally was angry
but knowing Senator Tllmans rash temper he was not
justified in deliberately provoking him to make the
charge that brought the encounter. The record
shows that Senator Spooner interrupted Senator Till
man. egging him on fewer than ten times before he
got him TO the point of making the charge against Sen
McLaurn. Doubtless this the reason the sen
ate contened itself with only nhictng the punishment
