ASSERTION STANDS UNREFUEEO
That WatsOn's Msgsziae is Subsidiary
Publication to Town Topics.

A New York special says: Those
who have been following the prose-
cution of Norman Hapgood, editor OF
Golfers, on a charge of Criminel Ii
bel, preferred by Colonel w. d. Mann
and Justice Deuel., proprietors OF
Town Topics, are greatly surprised
that the case has closed without any
evidence being offered to controvert
the statement that Tom Watson's
Magazine is one of the subsidiary
publications of Town Topics.
1t will be remembered that early
in the trial the treasurer of the Town
Topics Company swore that Tom Wat
sons Magazine was subsidiary TO
Town Topics. This evidence created
great surprise at the time, as no one
had any idea that Watsons Magazine
had any connection with Town Top
les. 1t was confidently predicted that
before the trial closed evidence would
be introduced to contrOVert the state
ment of the Town Topics treasurer
but no such evidence was offered.
So in the records of the Hapgood
case the sworn evidence that Tom
Watson's Magazine is subsidiary
publication OF Town Topics stands
uncontradicted.
The verdict of acquittal for Nor
man Hapgood was generally expected
Hapgood, as editor of Golfers charg'
ed that Town Topics was practically
a blackmailing publication and this
charge provoked his prosecution for
libel by the owners of Town Topics

Sentiment in watercress.

II really believe" said the diner out,
that the reason people in this city are
so fond OF watercress is that it brings
mental Old Homestead play on the
dinner table. l have seen people in
New York cat watercress ayidiously
who. to my certain knowledge, would
not take the trouble to walk down to
the brook and gather it in their native
village. Just start a watercress CON
versation the next time any comes on
the table and see what happens. All
you have got to do is to say, When l
was a boy l used to gather watercresS
out OF a brook which ran right through
the farm If you want to be very arti-
fetal say place instead Of farm.
Vast quantities of watercresS are
consumed by people living in New York
and the supplying Of it is a profitable
industry. And If it were not for the
sentiment precious little of it would
be eaten. But, somehow, nothing does
bring the country like 4 dish Of water
cress in a crowded city. OF course, we
seldom ate the creSS in our childhood.
We preferred dandelionS-boiled with
pork. But the watercresS whispers so
alluringly of the brook and the spring
that in the city it is treat to us from
the farm. No other vegetable, or herb,
or whatever you may please to call it,
has quite the home bringing qualities

And lie seems good and sweet and true
That you have hap!y found,
Then sing no false and hopeless strain

But lift your voice all clear and plain
And sang that life is fair!
Sing of its beauty and its worth,

Shall find them brave and strong,
Their way less gloomy and for.orn,

Railroad Commission Enjoined.

Judge w. T. Newman CT the United
States district court at Atlanta signed
an order which in effect temporarily
enjoins the railroad commission OF
Georgia from enforcing the provisions
of circular 800, relating to freight
rates Oh stoves, stove plates, stove
pipe, furniture and hollowware.
The order is the result of a bill
of complaint filed by the Atlantic
Coast Line, the Southern and the
Central Of Georgia railways. The bill
is directed against the railroad com
missioners for the state Of Georgia,
and the defendants are ordered by
the court to show cause in the United
States court in Atlanta at 10 a. m,
February 12, why a permanent injunc-
ton should not be granted.

viii Try Tax Cases Again.


The famous Georgia railroad and
Central OF Georgia tax cases recent
ly decided by the supreme court in
favor of the states contention that
the Western of Alabama stock in the
hands of these Georgia corporations
are taxable in this state, will be tried
before Judge PendletOn, in Fulton SUI
perior court, in Atlanta.
This statement will seem rather I'M
usual in view of the fact that it was
generally believed the litigation had
been concluded so far as the state
courts are concerned.
But the decision of the supreme
court, though it settled all the law
involved, was not, in fact, a final de-
cree. 1t was what is called in legal
parlance an interlocutory decree in
yolying the question as to whether or
not an injunction should be granted
preventing the state from collecting
the taxes claimed.
The railroads propose to take an
appeal from the decision of the SUI
preme court of Georgia to the supreme
court Of the United States, and the
latter tribunal cannot entertain an
appeal except from final decree.

Buncoed Through Old Land Grant.
A man who gave his name as j. Il.
Peavy, and said he was from Ne
braska, called at the office of Secre-
tary of State Philip Cook a few days
ago to investigate a title which he
said he had bought to $4,000 acres,
of land in Washington county, Geor-
gia. The title on the face of it ap-
peared to be a good one. The only
trouble was that the first link in the
chain was a bad one. 1t was a bogus
Georgia land grant, one OF the many
which have been tratticked in at va
rious points in the country, and out.
of which the purchasers have Sc
cured only a little sorrOwful expert
ence.
The land grant possessed by Mr..
Peavy was alleged to have been made
to Enoch Nilsson. The grant purport-
ed to have been recorded in Book 4E,
page 514, in Secretary Cooks office.
A reference to the book and page in
question showed that it contained a
grant of S. acres in Wilkes county
to Isaac Hodge.
Mr.. Peavy, when asked what he
paid for this bogus land title, declined
to say, remarking that he had got
into it too heavily to let it out.

NARROW ESCAPE
Of COLORED
PAINTER
Henry Robinson Struck By
Street Car on lPalafox
Street and Painful
ly Injured.

Henry Robinson, a colored painter,
had a narrow escape from death last
night at the corner of PalafoX and
Intendencia streets, when he was
struck by street car, and knocked
down and dragged under the car for
five or six feet before the motorman
could bring the car to stop. The
man was slightly injured about the
leg, but was able to walk when he
was taken from underneath the car.
Robinson was crossing PalafoX
street, and being slightly deaf did not
hear the ringing Of the gong or the
approach of the car, and many per-
sons saw him when he was struck by
the car and knocked to the street.
The guard evidently caught the man
and prevented the WHEELS from crush
ing him, but as it was he was in
jured about the legs and bruised to
some extent.
The car was going at a slow rate OF
speed, and thus the motorman was
therefore able to bring it to a stand
still within few seconds.
Robinson was given attention at
once and sent to his home.

ey Associated Press.


New York, Nov. 17.-District Attor-
ney Jerome to-day made public the
first report prepared at the request of
Governor Higgins concerning the con-
duct of the life insurance business in
New York. The report deals with the
affairs of the Mutual Life company.
The conclusions Of the report are that
no state law exists under which the
insurance officials can be proceeded
against criminally for acts now or for
merly in common practice, some of
which have been made public during
the recent legislative inquiry, except
ing in the cases of two officers of the
Mutual Company against whom spe-
cific charges of forgery and larceny
have been preferred. Jerome says
the insurance commissioner has power
to obtain a law covering the alleged
evils of insurance, but the cases I'M
der discussion do not come within
the provisions of any statute now
existing.

SURVEY ON THE
SHIP INGRID
WAS HELD YESTERDAY AND II
WILL SOON BE DECIDED AS
TO HER DISPOSITION.

Another survey of the Norwegian
ship Ingrid, which is lying on a bed
of rock near the Gulf Transit Company
Office, was held yesterday, and it is
anticipated that by Monday the dis
position of the fine ship will be
known.
1t is understood, and stated upon
the waterfront yesterday afternoon,
that there is a probability of condemn
ing and selling the vessel TO the high
est bidder, provided the underwriting
association is willing to pay a sum
sufficient to warrant the owners in
selling the ship at public auction and
getting what they can for her as she
lies.
Bids however, have just been re-
ceived for floating the vessel, not only
from Pensacola, but other cities, and
as she is big iron hull vessel and
good for many years service when
she is repaired, it may be that the
owners will decide that she is too
valuable to be sold under such con-
ditions and award contract for
floating her.
