PRESIDENT GARRETT OF SEA-
BOARD AIR LINE SAYS ADVERSE
LEGISLATION HAS SERIOUSLY
AFFECTED INCOMES.

Atlanta, March 11.-President w. A.
Garrett OF the Seaboard Air Line, who is
on an inspection trip, in an interview to-
day said the railroads of this country are
lowering around the financial danger line
on account of adverse legislation which
has already affected their incomes and
which promises to still further curtail
them. Railroads so affected, he said, will
not be able to pay their operating ex-
penses, and the interes, on their bonds
il present conditions continue.
ut may mean,' he continued that
many railroads will pass into the hands
of receivers unless these penalties are
modified.
For the seven months of the present
fiscal year the Seaboard has not been
able to make expenses and meet the in
terest on their bonds. This has been true
of the Atlanta and Birmingham division
of the Seaboard since it was opened for
service three years ago. This is the road
in which there is no watered stock
Mr.. Garrett said antagonism of the
people was responsible for the conditions
He said the Seaboard had not considered
curtsilment of its train service, but 1T
would be impossible to make any i'm
proVements whatever.

lmmiqration Bureau.

IF the immigration bureaus are as
successful in their attempts to bring for
eign labor to the United States as Tony
Macon has been in bringing this class
of labor into Ensley they certainly Will
flood the country" said a citizen today
|, Tony Macon, the man referred to, has
perhaps had more experience with hand
ling all classes of labor than any man In
this section of the country He has been
connected with large mills throughout
the United States, also Mexico and Can
ada, and mas had splendid opportunities OF
sizing up the classes that are -best
adapted for the many different classes of
work. and his varied experience has stood
him in good stead in the position that
he now holds with the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company in bringing
in labor for their different industries.
Mr.. Macon said today that he had had
many exciting experiences with the au-
thorities at some of the town where he
had gone in serch of labor, but had al
ways managed SO far to get away with
out any serious friction, mad escaped ar
rest from charges of enticing labor, and
usually brought back a good crowd OF
labor with him when he went out after
them. He entertained a few of his friends
at a turkey dinner today at ! o'clock at
Gulas restaurant, which was greatly en-
joyed by those fortunate enough to have
been invited.

FIFTEEN MEN LOSE
LIVES IN RIVER
MEMBERS OF CONSTRUCTION
CREWS LOSE THEIR HEADS ON
TREAcHERoUs STREAM AND IN
A PANIC GO OVERHEARD.

Redding, Cal, March 11.-Fifteen men
lost their lives in the treacherous Pitt
river this afternoon. The men were all
Greeks, employed in the construction
crews of the Sacramento Valley and
Eastern railroad, building from the Della
ware Copper smelter to the new station
of Bonita, on the Southern Pacific, three
miles above Kennel, The Greeks an In
dian named George Wesley, and the fore
man of the crew, Charles O'Neil, started
to cross the river in the new ferry boat
of the company. When the boat had
reached the middle of the stream the
Greeks for some unknown reason punched
upon the end of the 24-foot boat. This
caused the boat to rise on end, and the
men were thrown back Then they piled
up in a bunch at the other end.
One man was washed overheard and
the sight of the man in the river fright
eHed the others until they were panic
stricken. They ran to the side of the
boat some jumped upon the ratings.
chattering wildly. Finally the boat was
overbalanced and every man slid into
the water. The ferryman and the fore
man grabbed the boat and stayed with 1t.
They were saved. Two other men had
presence of mind TO swim and gained the
nearest shore. but fifteen of the Greeks
lost their heads and went down.

At Late Hour 1t Was Stated That the
Man Was White-A Big Crowd
Gathers at the Bank of

Pratt City, March l.)-Com-
pletely enveloped in a blanket, with a
rope around his neck, and bound hand
and foot, the body of a man was found
floating in No. 2 pond this afternoon.
About ) o'clock, when the prison guards
were marching the convicts from the gar
den, near the prison, one of them no.
ticed an object floating in the water near
the bank of the dam, and on closer in
spection it was found to be the body
of a person wrapped in blanket. The
head was completely covered, also the en-
tire body, except one hand, which was
protruding, and from the bruised condi-
ton of this member of the body it could
not be readily adjudged whether it was
the body of a white person or negro
nor whether ii was a man or woman. Cor
oner Paris was Immediately notified and
gave instructions that the body be left as
found until he could get to the scene, and
it is very probable that nothing more can
be found out tonight as to the identity
of the person.
Many people gathered on the bank
eager 10 learn something definite regard
ing the body, but it was being guarded
by orders from the coroner, and further
than the fact that it had been decided
that the body was that of a white man,
which information was telephoned in at
a late hour, nothing more definite could
be learned.

MAY Be IN DANGER
On Way to Central America
With War Supplies
MAY ATTEMPT SEIZURE
According to Dispatches It Appears
That Honduran Troops Are Sue
ceeding Over the Armies
of Nicaragua.

Mobile, March 1.-THE Norwegian
steamer John Wilson of the United Fruit
company, sister ship Of the Harry 7.
Inge, which left New Orleans last week
with arms and ammunition for Central
America, arrived tonight from Ceiba,
Honduras. She reports that three Mica
raguan gunboats were off Ceiba, and pre-
pairing to land troops when the fruit
steamer left, and the people of Ceiba were
making every preparation to defend them
selves in anticipation of attack.
1t was reported at Celba on the day the
Wilson left, that fifty Nicaraguans had
been captured in an engagement at Cape
Gracias the previous day, and Bonilla Is
credited with the statement that he will
reach the capital of Nicaragua if the at
tempt costs him his life.
Nothing was seen on the trip of the
steamer Inge, and it is suspected by the
officers of the Wilson that the gunboats
off Ceiba were intending to intercept the
'inge with her cargo of war munitions,
and TO prevent a landing at Ceba.
1t is thought here that the 1nge has
made a landing at some proint in Hon
duras.
