Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, JAN. 24-Representa-
tive Babcock said last night that he
had instructed his attorney TO bring
suit at once for libel against the Col
ier's Weekly for publishing in the cur
rent number a statement by Oscar
Terry Crosby that he had ""held up'
Oscar Terry Crosby of the Elkins- Wild
ener-Dolan syndicate for $4,000 for a
contribution to the republican congress
slonal campaign committee.
The article in Golfers Weekly is
headed can incident Of high politics
showing how a corporation was brought
to realize its duty to promote the pub
lie welfare. - Henry Needham quotes
an extract from the book, s'Tibet and
Turkestan'' of Oscar Terry Crosby, the
and charges Representative Babcock
with having demanded a $4,000 contri-
button to the republican railway bill
then pending and in which Mr.. Crosby
was interested. The charge is made in
an interview with Crosby as reported
by Needham. The extract in part is:
GA bill giving the needed authority
was promptly reported to the senate by
the committee on the District of Column
bia. Despite that unanimous report
the bill was held up for many weeks in
tuS ScudtS HV0Iy IlLlo LII Cdlll6 up eL
tigrew of South, Dakota rose and OBJ
.jected. Finally he reached the conclu
sion that absolutely nothing was to be
gained by further obstruction and he
allowed the bill to pass which it die
without a negative vote. That ended
the matter in the senate. The bill il
question received unanimous vote il
the committee on District of Columbia
Of the house, but strange to say it wa.
not reported by the chairman, Mr.. Bah
cock Of Wisconsin. It was about fiv'
days before the adjournment Of con
gress and the bill was still in tn
chairman g pocket.' 49,
Then Mr.. Crosby is quoted as sayin,
that Babcock asked him for the SIS 800
contribution. ........
81 have never received one penn:
from Mr.. Crosby or his syndicate
either for myself or for the Republican
congressional committee said MI
%Babcock "The published statement
anyone at all familiar with Legislation
shows on it's face it's falsity. I al
tired Of having charges made that
ssandbagged corporations and other
into making contributions to the col
gressional committee Of which / al
committee. It has got to stop an

Two Mammoth Chimneys.
From Concrete.


The electric power plant now being con-
structed for the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company at Delaware avenue and Laurel
street. Philadelphia, Pa, is larger Than any
such plant now in operation anywhere in
the world, though several monster concerns
of the same kind have recently been plan
ned for other places. This plant Is de-
signed to furnish all the energy needed to
operate the elevated and subway lines on
Market street and will still have abundance
of power left for other uses.
The most interesting feature of these
plants is the immense chimneys. They are
constructed of reinforced concrete with
points in their design which make them
very different from the ordinary brick Chin
ney for similar purposes. While they are
spoken Of as 175 feet high, that is only the
length of the chimney. The top of the
chimney is really PSI feet above the street
level, the bottom of the chimney being
about seventy feet above the boiler-room
floor. The construction is unique in that
the boilers are beneath the chimneys, and
the smoke does not enter them through a
side f1ue, but from the bottom, which is 10
feet inches above the tops of the boilers
The chimney f1ue core is IA feet in
diameter in the clear.
Each of these chimneys serves a battery
or set of eight boilers. Each boiler has a
capacity of 500 horsepower. so that each
chimney has {, 400 horsepower, and the en-
tire eight $1,000 horsepower. In terms of
electricity, each set of boilers will generate
5000 kilowatts, and each chimney will fur
nish natural draught for the consumption
of $4,000 pounds Of coal an hour.

The discovery of an eight hundred gallon
EioonshiEe still in the woods eight miles
east Of Eatontcn last Monday las led to a
MOST complete rounding up in the vicinity.
ard United States Deputy Collector c. l..
Vigal and Deputy Marshal Dave Riley have
since the still was located managed to cap
ture six men, all of whom have been con-
nc cted with this single case. Arthur Glenn
ents, the only white man connected with the
charge that has faced the authorities up to
the present, came to Macon to get five
negroes released and was himself held.
Clements is a prominent farmer The still
vas said to have been found upon his
PLACE. The negroes were all farmers on
Clements place. The alleged chief opera
tor, a white man known in the community
as Wild Bill, has not been captuI ed.
The officers found the still down en- the
border Of a big creek, and as soon as they
made a survey of the plant 1t was pro-
nCUnced the largest ever operated within
the central portion of the state. An up
right steam boiler was used in the dis
filling outfit and large quantities OF beer
and meal were destroyed when the officers
used their axes in deuolishing the plant.
" hen the discovery was made by the off,
prised at the extensive operations. Large
quantities of meal were shown to have
been brought to the spot from Eatonton.
The amount captured by the officers re-
vealed that an immense business was car
ried on, and the officers themselves were
slow to believe their own eyes when they
walked into the place.

PRICES DROPPED.
Turkeys Could Be Bought Cheap This
Morning.

Those who put off buying their turkeys
for the Thanksgiving day dinner were able
to purchase them last night and this morn
ing at much lower rate than has existed
for ten days or two weeks.
1t is stated that yesterday morning the
retail dealers were asking from twenty
three to twentyseven cents per pound for
turkeys, but purchasers, scared by these
prices, turned away from the benches and
bought something else. Other purchasers
made arrangements to use something else
as the main dish of the feast today and
they passed through the market without
looking at the poultry benches. The con-
sequence was yesterday afternoon prices
began to drop and last night prime tur-
keys, it is said, could be bought as low as
eighteen and twenty cents per pound, and
many sold even lower. These prices were
asked this morning, but many of the deal
ers will be left with large stocks of turkeys
ON their hands to carry over until next
week.
