FRANCHISE TAX LAW WINS.
Pullman Car Company Makes Return
and Sustains Law.

Pullman Car Company Makes Return
and Sustains Law.
Atlanta, May 22.-The new franchise
tax law scored most substantial vic.
tory yesterday when the return Of the
Pullman Palace Car company was re-
ceived by Comptroller General Wright
and promptly accepted.
The Pullman company, by its legal
authorities, acknowledges the justice
of the Georgia law, complies fully with
its spirit, and makes what Is consid.
cred by the comptroller general a
most equitable franchise return.
The company has no Georgia char
ter, has no franchises that can be
considered such, enjoys no privileges
so far as Georgia is concerned that
are not enjoyed by natural persons.
And yet the officials of the company
recognize that certain intangible val
ue attaches to it's tangible property
and gives in to the state of Georgia
her proper portion, based on mileage
Last year the Pullman return for
tangible property was $208,528 This
year the return for tangible property
is exactly the same amount and the
company adds $117,074 for franchises,

TELLS OF KIsHINEFF HORROR.
Uncle and Aunt of Atlanta Man Were
Massaored.


Atlanta, May 22.-An uncle and an
aunt of II. Weitmann, Of Atlanta, were
among the Russian Jews who were
murdered in the Kishineff massacre of
April 49, Weitmann received yes
terday letter from his brother,
Abraham Weitmann, in which the writ
er tells Gbout the massacre and bega
for money with which to come to this
country.
In the letter Abraham Weitmann
says that Kishineff and The province
Of Besserabia, in which it is situated,
is wild with excitement and fear.
Il am not able to write MUCH" the
letter says, because I am so excited
as the massacre occurred only four
days ago in which our Uncle Tche
(Hsaac) and Aunt Reve (Rebecca)
were murdered, with over 100 other
Russian Jews. If I wrote too much
about it the government might get
my letter and would be murdered.
II was on Easter, April 10, that mob
Of 200 started the massacre. I and
my wife hid three days in a cellar
without food or water, and when we
went back into our house we found
everything demolished. Besides kill
ing over 100 men, women and children
the barbarlans, who call themselves
Christians, broke UP everything they
found in the houses. Kishineff is
desolate. Please, for Gods sake, send
me enough money for my wife and 1
to go to your great country, where a
man can live in pease and worship
God as he chooses. l know you will
regret to hear that our uncle and aunt
were among the victims. But for the
cellar under our house l and my wife
would have also been murdered"

MONSTER TESTIMONIAL.
Arranged In Behalf of Family of "Biff"
Hall,

Hall.
Chicago, May 22.-Friends of the
late William I. Hall, known to nearly
every one in Chicago as "Biff" Hall.
are arranging a monster testimonial
In behalf of his family.
On Monday, June /, the Olympic
Eheater is to be turned over to the
professionals playing here and they ex-
pect to give the most unique continu-
Gus performance ever seen in the
ater. The entertainment is to be-
gin at 1890 p. m, and last until 10: 80
p. m. All the tickets will be one price,
81 each, admitting to any part of the
house. George AIDE has been made
secretary and treasurer Of the fund.
1t appears that Judge Hall had not
been fortunate in his investments. and
that what little he left Is badly en-,
numbered, "Biff" Hall was famous as
writer, dramatic critic and after-din-
ner speaker, and it Is said that no. man
In America had a wider acquaintance
In the theatrical profession.

A Quaint Epftaph.
The following epitaph is from a mon
ument in cemetery in Nework, N. j.:

Here lies"the body of
John Black,
Aged 46.
That cherry tree of luscious fruit
Beguiled him up too high;
The branch did break and down he fell
And broke his neck and died.
Also three infant children.
