SCHM|Tz CONFERs
WITH HEADS Of
BOTH SIDES.

Appeals of Mayor Schmitz to leaders
on both sides of the strike controversy
yesterday were of no avail, but the
city's chief executive will continue his
efforts for peace and he thinks he will
succeed in the end Yesterday morn
ing President Calhoun of the United
Railroads called. upon request, on the
Mayor and was asked If he could not
do something more to bring the strike
to an end, but he simply repeated his
former declaration that he would not
treat with the men until after they re-
turned to work
After Calhoun departed President
Cornelius and Secretary Bowling of the
Carmen's Union visited the Mayors Of
fee and a similar question was put to
them, but they declared that the COM
pany must deal with the men before
work is resumed
Il am not disheartened with the re-
suit of today's Efforts said Mayor
Schmitz after his visitors had departed
and l am going to continue trying to
get the trouble settled. l. of course,
am simply acting In the capacity of
Mayor of the city and am concerned
only with the best interests of the
public. Just three words represent my
efforts in this line, and they are:
Stop this strike
is 1T not true" he was asked, that
the carmen have a signed agreement
with the company to submit every
thing to arbitration in case OF trou-
ble?"
Yes, that is true" replied the
Mayor, and Mr. Calhoun is using that
as an argument for his cause in saying
that the men have not observed their
agreement"
In further explanation of his plans
for peace the Mayor stated that he
II he cannot gain his point by one
means he will try another. and he has
confidence that continued effort will
result in Fastening the return of car
service.
The Mayor took care not to have the
opposing sides come to his office at the
same time, believing that by personal
argument with each separately he
could accomplish more.
1t was not long after the close of his
conferences in the morning that Mayor
Schmitz left the office. and although
he had stated he would continue his
effort during the afternoon to bring the
opposing sides together. he did not re-
turn to his office during the rest of the
day.
Another effort will probably be made
by the Mayor today to have a satisfac-
tory conference with the leaders in the
dificulty, but the outlook for success is
not encouraging. Yesterday the Mayor
simply tried to get both sides to agree
to conference that would promise a
settlement but he said afterward that
he had not yet suggested arbitration
TO either side.

an old one was yet cold. The Unit

and telegraphic reports fairly bristled

A car ran on Fillmore street yes

connection than it was really worth,

carbarn. at Fillmore and Turk streets
and started 1t for the highway. Imme-
diately there was action among the $50
striking carmen on the sidewalk. The
car poked it's red front out of the door
way and interest and action became
contagious on Fillmore street.
Those strikers near the car recog
niZed the operators and knew that no
forerunners of Farley were making
their debut. Four members of the
strikers committee of safety" boarded
the car. one on each step, prepared to
protect 1t from insults and violence
should it be in Jeopardy. For several
seconds the car was southbound on
Fillmore street. Then 1t stopped, the
trolley was turned and the car was
northbound on Fillmore street. Then il
was shunted back into the left side of
the carbarn and the four pickets' ride
was over.
The car was simply in the way of
some brickIayers who were repairing
the barn. 1t was a most innocent car
but it did create plenty of excitement
during its journey of fifty feet.
LINEMEN LEAVE YARDS.
During the day several crews of
strike breaking linemen left the yards
opposite the F'illmore-street carbarns.
Beyond bit OF hooting there was no
demonstration against the men on the
wagon. The police on duty at the car
house reported a quiet day.
An electrician named Murphy who
has been operating the car carrying the
strike breaking lnemen, was found
off duty yesterday and fell into the
hands of carmen. But his fate was
more of moral than a physical OBJ
ject lesson on the evils of non unionism,
for the union men bought whisky for
Murphy until he was in a glib, If rather
incoherent, condition. He professed to
have been hired by a representative of
the Plnkerton agency. but the creden-
tials he showed to back his contention
did not prove anything.
BLANKETS DELIVERED.
One thousand blankets were delivered
to the United Railroads at the McAl-
lister-street carhouse yesterday, ac-
cording to a report, and it was said
that the Hayes-street carhouse was also
fitted out as a dormitory for the hous-

Only for this deep-rooted dislike for
everything pertaining to the Federal
Government she must have ere row

fact that her destiny was wrapped up
with that of the man the fortune of

long ere now yielded herself to the
destiny that seemed bearing her Oh.
She knew it could not last Mach
longer.
This man was apparently abls to
WELD the basest of metals into a
weapon for his defense-when enc
mics laid pitfall to insnare his feet
he utilized it as a means for climbing
higher in her estimation, her rega ID.
And he was even now knocking at
the door of her heart. though she still!
stubborniy refused to open 1t and let
him in.
So Mollie's thoughts were a trifie
confused as she rode homeward.
More than once she took a sly To- j

the erect figure of the horseman gal
Looping alongside on the right. and
somehow his presence there did much
to assure her of safety-it had even
come to that-she felt she could de.
pend upon the stout arms that had
snatched her from the greedy flames
and just now put her enemies to
flight.
That he wore the hated blue was
his only fault, and this did not ap-
pear so henious as when she stood up
beside him on the night they were
made man and wife in order that he
might save his life apd she her estate.
Did Colonel John appear before her
in suit of gray, with sentiments cor
responding to her own. she believed
she could love him truly.
The soldier had replaced his left
arm-none the better for the use to
which 1t had been put-once more in
its sling. He had entirely forgotten
the fact of his being wounded in the
excitement of battle, and used it quite
freely, for which he might yet pay
dearly-but what matter. since 1t was
in the service of love.
Thus the balance of the journey
was made.
They reached the plantation of the
Changers. the only place near Atlanta

of circumstances. escaped at least
partial destruction.

He shouted and roared and swore
until one might easily have believed
a whole troop was coming upon the
scene.
Meanwhile Colonel John was in it.
He had with word brought his
horse to halt when he reached the
side of the carriage. and his first
shot was followed by a second and n

A great majority of us know what
it is to he poor. to fight the battle
against such odds as sometimes makes
the contest appear an almost hopeless
ore. Poverty, however, is relative
term. To the man who is low in the
scale poverty means acute physical
sufierlncs for lack of necessary food
and shelter. To others poverty means
the surrender of certain comforts in
which every man feels he has right
to share But of all poverty that
classed as "genteer' doubtless causes
more widespread suffering than any
other kind. This is the poverty Of the
families that are trying to keep up a
social pace which they can not afford;
the poverty of the woman who can

AS the soldier bore down on the
spot where the Granger carriage had
been waylaid, he endeavored to grasp
the full situation.
There was no time to be wasted.
He saw woman's figure emerge
from the vehicle-it was the squire's
daughter without doubt. for he
caught her brave voice as she de-
manded to know the meaning of this
outrage, and then with the vengeance
which her fathers position might COM

How the clear, resonant. fearless
voice thrilled the advancing horse

John gave no shout to Introduce his

He rode straight into them.

No man knew better how to con-

the effect of such burst from all
sides.
