 uaent OR Income H0mA ImfeRazA

Small Surplus Amount left After Pays
 ment of Income Bond Interest.
 New York, Sept s4-The annual report of the Central of Georgia Railway for the fiscal year ended June 30, has just been issued here. This is the road which recently passed into the control of Oakleigh Thorne and Marsden J. Perry. and which is engaged in a dis- pute with the holders of it's 316.000, 900 income bonds as to statement of the interest on them. The report. on the face of 1t. upholds the action of the directors in passing the dividend en- tirely on the third class of income bonds and paying only a part of it on the second class. as the income ac- count shows a surplus of only S33 af- ter payment of interest.
 The bondholders allege that the books of the company have been wrongly kept and a committee has been appointed which Is to meet to- morrow for the purpose of preparing papers to bring legal action to compel payment of the full per cent interest on all the three classes of bonds.

During it's six weeks operation Of the Fresh Air Camp at Pickett Springs, the Salvation Army has entertained some of the most remarkable residents of Montgomery ranging In age from childhood to the utmost reach Of long evity.

tomorrow morning and tomorrow night the men will hold an all night meet ing to vote on the report. Neither side offers any hope whatever of compro- mise and each is preparing for test of strength. The citizens committee which forced a settlement of the last strike made a final report today, but nothing resulted therefrom.
 1t is considered a certainty that the men will strike Friday morning at o'clock, and the company will imme- diateIy attempt the operation or It's cars with nearly thousand strike breakers. A similar attempt last April with a much smaller force resuited m = numher of riots. The city and coun- tv oflciaIs. however. declare that any disorder will be put down regardless of the cost.
