RAILROAD SITUATION p ~
UNSETTLED IN HONDURAS

NEW ORLEANS. La, May ia special to
the Picayune from Puerto C0rtez. Spanish Hon
duras says that the Honduras railroad situation
IS still unsettled and decidedly complicated.
In spite of the refusal of the Honduras gov
eminent TO ratify the lease Of the property by
Washington Valentine and following the failure
Of the government TO reimburse Valentine In the
sum of 800. 600, which amount was advanced by
Valentine some time ago and which 1t was
proposed should pay In full for the rental Of the
road for four years. the railroad continues TO
be run under the Valentine management. 1t
is stated. however that Valentine viii not
make improvements TO give an adequate service
because OF the uncertainty of his tenure. His
refusal 10 turn over the property TO the govern
ment before his advances are paid up has like
wise inteffered with a deal which the govern
ment Is said to have proposed TO an English
syndicate for the taking over of the railroad.
Anticipating the possibility Of an attempt be-
ing made to seize the road, the books and office
records were bundled up and hurriedly trans
ferred to the United States consulate, and
placed under the immediate care and charge OF
Consul Brickwood. The yecOrds are supposed
to contain the full history Of the Valentine con-
cessionary rights with the government OF Hon
duras as well as the present status of the dett
due TO him. and it considered of vital I'm:
portance that these records should be preserved
in case OF a conflict, which. at one time, was
expected But that the Marietta is In
the harbor II is impossible that 80 long as she
remains any attempt will be made to secure
possession OF the railroad and wharf by force.

WILL HELP WORK
FOR STATE ROADS

Prison Commissioner Wiley Williams,
original project for the construction OF
two great state highways with the labor
of surplus convicts has already stirred
comment. e
The plan of the prison commissioner is
to use convicts that may be turned back
to the state at the end Of the present year
by the counties now working them on
their roads Commissioner Williams be-
lieves it entirely possible they could be
used no more profitably than in the way
he suggests. He has himself conceived
the plan for building a great state road
from the northern border south through
Atlanta to Valdosta. and from Columbus
east through Macon to Augusta.
y. F. Tiff, chairman of the county COM

Hon. Wiley Williams, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: Referring to published state
ment from you proposing the construction
of highways through the state. l beg to
inform you that our board has already

being to interest the several counties
touching line from Atlanta to Albany
to join them in the construction of a
highway between these points, and al
the same time from Albany to Thomas
Vile and Jacksonville, thus making a
continuous route from New York through
the most attractive and richest part OF

We will be pleased to cooperate with
you, and hope you will push this matter

FARMERS UNION III

PRESIDENT GARRETT WANTS
GROWERS OF WHEAT TO GET
HIGH PRICES NOW GOING To
SPECULATORS.

SPRINGFIELD. Mo, May 12--The first
step toward closer relations between the
grain growers and cattle raisers of the
West and southwest was taken here today
at a mass meeting of the National Farm
ers union. which has a membership of
three millions. The sessions will be execu-
tive. Charles S. Barrett, of Union City.
Ga, president OF the union, however,
gave an outline of the body's work in an
interview before calling the meeting TO
order.
I'VE have said President Barrett,
found a solution for one of the most
important problems in the south, the
handling of cotton crop TO the best in
terests of the grower There has been
no consolidation of the cotton crop int1
d trust but an amalgamation of ware
houses. r.
Can Regulate Cotton
AT the present time we have a thor
ough organization that can regulate tho
price of cotton. We are deriving as much
benefit in the cotton markets today as
the market manipulators The last con-
vention of the cotton growers was held
in New Orleans in November, 1903, bur
only three weeks after this at state
convention the union company, controll-
ing $50 warehouses was formed. Every
penny of stock is held by the members
of the union. What we did there we are
doing in other places, and it is our ul-
innate aim to control every cotton ware
house in the south. We have now reached
nearly the height of our usefulness TO
the south and have turned to the assist
ance of the middle west, and the northern
farmer with our organization and finan-
cial support.
Grain and Livestock

that will prevent corners in grain.

HANGMAN is BUSY
IN EVERY STREET

CONSTANTINOPLE,M May l2.-Constan-
tinople witnessed another batch of eXecu-
lions this morning when twenty-four mu-
tineers of the army and navy were hang
ed in public within the city limits.
This makes a total of thirty-eight exc
cutions within the capital since the reYo-
luton of April 13.
Four of the men today were hanged
near the sultans palace. eight at the ma
rine barracks, eight in the Djinsi Meidan
quarter of STEAMBOAT, and four at the war
office.
Several of the courtsmartial that sem
fenced the men to death explained the
reason for public hangngs by saying that
corruption so peTvaded Constantinople
that had the hangings not been made
public the people would have thought
the condemned men had saved them
selves by bribing officials or that the
statement of their execution was nothing
more than a political lie. -- ..s .
Priests prayed with the condemned
men shortly before they were taken to
the places of execution and commented
upon the evil deeds which had brought
them to their deaths. One of the con-
demned to death spoke up and said that
all the priests he had talked with on
the day of the so-called mutiny and the
days following had approved of his &C
