LIVELY SCRAP IN LEGISLATURE.
Representative and Solicitor Mix Up on
floor of House.

floor OF House.
The proceedings of the Georgia
house of representatives were enliy-
ened for few minutes Wednesday
morning by a mix-up on the floor
between Hon. 4. r. Whitley, member
OF the house from Douglas county.
and Hon Charles .. Hill, solicitor
general of the Atlanta circuit. Both
gentlemen have reminders of the en-,
counter, Dr. Whitley being the pos
SCISSOR a small bump on his head,
caused by blow from Mr. HITS
walking stick, and Mr.. Hill carrying
upon his forehead a long reddish
bruise resulting from contact with
one Of the chairs as he wavered IN
del a bloT from the Douglas county
member. No blood was spilled, ana
the combatants were soon separated
1t appears that Mr.. Hill was walk
ing along the space in the rear OF
the hall, when he met DR.. Whitley
and that Whitley greeted him with
some ordinary salutation, to which
Hill promptly responded that he did
not care to speak with him. Whitley
replied "all right" Those near say
that Mr. Hill added something like;
you would have voted for that bill
if there had been any money in it
for you" TO this Dr.. Whitley replied:
"You are a liar" and Mr.. Hill at
once struck Or. Whitley over the
head with stick, raising a small
bump, DR.. Whitley responded with
blow on the neck, which staggered
Mr.. Hill, but lie at once returned
to the attack with additional blows
from his walking cane.
Immediately after the difficulty,
Representative Flynt of spalding in
troduced a resolution asking for the
appointment of a committee to inyes-
ttgass the matter and report as to
whether either gentleman had been
guilty Of contempt of the rules OF
the house.
The cause leading up to the fight
may be stated to be the discussion
which has recently been had in the
house over TIE proposition to pay
the Mattingly bonds The firm Of 3
Fl. ard C. D. HILL along with other
attorneys, represented the petitioners
holding the bonds. DR. Whitley was
one of the members, who opposed the
payment of the bonds, and in speech
made Tuesday or the subject made
some allus1on of the fact that he
was tired of the lobbyists for the bin
hanging around the legislature. 1t
was to this statement that Mr.. Hill
presumably took offense.

NEW YORK BANK CALLS
FOR LATE DEPOSITS
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Night
and Day bank of this city has started
an innovation which, 1t is expected
will please business men who make late
deposits.
To make late collections and to avoid
the risk Of sending deposits to the bank
by messenger, the bank officials have
had built a specially designed automo-
bile containing a huge safe which will
call on all regular depositors.
Each depositor who desires to have
his money taken to the bank by the
collectors receives q metal dispatch
box numbered and inclosed in a leather
case. In this he puts his currency and
checks, and when the machine comes
around he turns the box, locked, over to
the messenger who gives him a receipt
for the box, Contents unknown" On
the stub of the duplicate receipt which
the messenger is to take back to the
bank Is a memorandum of the box's
contents.
When the messenger gets the box he
drops 1t into a slit in the automobile
safe, and as the safe is built like a
letter box the deposit boxes cannot be
removed save by some one knowing the
combination of the safe. At the bank
the boxes are taken out and their re-
ceipts checked with the deposit slip
that has been elected in the box.
The Night and Day bank started the
new system last night.

regarded as dissipated in consequence
OF the middle court steered by the

The extreme radicals under M.

been appeased by the announcement
that all church property not claimed by

On the other hand the churches In

universal peace will be established.
Senator Frank p. Flint gave notice
at the last session of congress that he
would ask national appropriation Of
s10 100000 for the purpose of holding
an international exposition at Los An
geles.
The San Francisco disaster and the
sympathy of Los Angeles for the
stricken city delayed action until 1t
was found that but a few days re-
manned in which to perfect an organi-
zation in the name of which appropria-
tions could be granted as the govern
can only recognize specific organiza-
tions Incorporated for that purpose.
The Incorporation is an example of
what Los Angeles citizens can do when
they take an active interest in affairs,
for it has been only within the last
few days that the cooperation of lead
ing business men in all departments
has been solicited and secured. This re-
suited in the meeting last night of a
large number of the wealthiest and
most prominent Los Angeles citizens.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Hon. S. A. Butler as chair
man and Ben McLendon secretary An
outline of the object Of the meeting was
stated by A. NJ. Parsons. Articles of
incorporation. which had been pre-
viously drawn up by Frank G. Finlay-
son, general counsel of the corporation,
were adopted and directors were chosen
for one one year. By unanimous vote
Henry e. Huntington was elected
president of the corporation.
The names of the directors and in
corporators of the company are synony
nous with prosperity in Southern Cali
fornia and the fact that they are be-
hind the movement assures it's success.

Charles M. Schwab, once steel mag

nate as well, as he saw photographer
furtively trying to take a snapshot of
him from the curbstone in front of the
Huntington building Saturday after
noon.

to steal snap" at the millionaire and
he was surprised when Schwab good
naturedly helped along his efforts. The

second to face the lens.

tion whizzed to the Arcade depot,

trolls.
Mills for Pacific Coast
The hustling Pennsylvania sees
great future for the Pacific coast in
the steel industry. Said he yesterday:
THE steel industry is still in its in
fancy. The present generation will see
the annual output reach 40 000, 900 tons"
Would you advise the buying of steel
now?" was asked of Mr.. Schwab.
"Oh, not exactly he answered
slowly. but steel is good stock. The
industry is still In it's infancy. 1t will
grow and grow
That steel will be manufactured on
"a gigantic scale on the South Pacific
coast in five or ten years is the ex-
pressed belief of Magnate Schwab. He
said Saturday that there is hardly suf-
ficient local consumption of steel to
warrant the immediate investment in
CT
mia at the present time.
Panama Canal
But with the completion of the Pan
anna canal will come the making of
steel here" he declared. There is a
big development of railroads in the
west and steel rails would be the chief
product of coast plant.
"a steel plant for the manufacture
of structural steel would cost an i'm
mense sum- But such a plant will
come In time. Southern California and
the coast are developing at a wonder
full rate of commercial speed"
Praises Nevada
Mr. Schwab is enthusiastic over the
progress of mining in the golden tri-
angle of Nevada. His mines in Beatty,
Rhyolite, Goldleld and Greenwater are
all pouring wealth into his lap and
the problem of building mineral roads
to carry freight to and from the mines
has engaged his serious attention.
Mr.. Schwab and party went through
the Montgomery Shoshone NINE the
largest of the Schwab properties Fri
day and were particularly pleased with
the rich ore they viewed in the differ
ent veins.
1t is a gold proposition. and as
Schwab rolled up millions in steel for
himself and others he expects to dc
even better in gold and copper.

Harahan's Remarkable Rise,

Memphis, Tenn, November 7.-J. T. Harahan, the new president of the Illi- nois Central Railroad company, is prob- ably the best known railroad man in the great central south
 His long connection as the general man. ager of the Louisville and Nashville sys- tenn and his sixteen years service as vice president of the Illinois Central railroad, having full charge of all operation and traffic, has placed him in close touch with the south and it's representative men. Probably no one man has con tributed more to the upbuilding of the territory south of the Ohio river than MT. Harahan.
 Beginning his railroad career in an hum- ble position. the new president rapidly advanced to nigh executive positions and while deprived at the beginning, of technical training, he has recognized the desirability of possessing such an experi- ence. Mir. Harahan recently stated that the pioneer period in railroad building had passed and the successful railroad manager of the future must understand the why's and wherefores of every ac- ton. He said science and practice must be combined and he was therefore, a warm advocate of technical schools for railroad men or rather for the youth who aims at devoting himself to d rail- road career.
 Mir Harahan upon recent visit to Memphis,f spoke enthusiastically of the rapid development of the vast southern country and expressed an abiding faith in the tremendous commercial future of that section.
