WESTERN RAILWAY
TO SOON BE BUILT

Plans for the construction Of the West
ern Railway of Georgia, capitalized at
5000 have been begun and the new
road, which has been granted a charter
with the privilege of using either steam
or electricity, will be built as rapidly as
possible.
The new road, which will connect with
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railroad company at Aberdeen, Fayette
county, will run in a westerly direction
through Newman and Franklin, Heard
county, to a point on the state line. Tit
principal offices of the company will be
located in Newman. The road will give
Newman its fourth railroad, and will blaze
a way for railway service in Heard coun-
ty, which has formerly not been pierced
by any line. The road will also open up
new territory that has hitherto not
been developed.
Connecting with the Atlanta, Birming-
ham and Atlantic, the Western of Geor-
gia will give a new and direct line from
the southern part of the state to the
western border. There is a strong proba-
bility that the new line will be the pio-
neer of electric operated roads in this
state, as 1t is stated in the application
for charter that electricity may be used
instead Of steam.
The incorporators Of the company in
clude prominent capitalists who live along
the road. The line will be sixty mileS
long.

TO TALK TO MARS
FROM TEXAS TOWN
CITIZENS OF STANFORD, TEXAS,
RAISE $4,000 WITH WHICH
TO BUILD GIGANTIC MERCURY
MIRROR.

FORT WORTH, Tex, April pa mes
sage received here today from Robert w.
Wood, professor of astronomy of Johns
Hpkins university Baltimore, practical
ly agrees to the establishment of an OBJ
servatory at Stamford, West Texas.
which will be used in an effort to COM
municate with planet Mars.
The citizens of Stamford have agreed
to put up whatever bonus Professor Wood
needs, providing it will not exceed $4,000.
Stamford and vicinity, it is said, is best
suited for Professor Woods experiments.
Professor Wood, in his dispatch, says
the experiments with his twenty-inch
mercury mirror and still lin progress and
until he completes these it would be I'M
wise to build a giant mercury mirror,
such as Stamford agrees to furnish, and
which will be a hundred feet in dame
ter. 1t is proposed that this mirror shall
be rotated with the speed of an express
train by a huge motor. Professor Wood
sarys he will be glad to carry on his ex-
periments in West Texas and that the
conditions there are leadi.
No real effort has been made to in
duce Professor Pickering to establish his
proposed signalling station, but he has
been asked to conduct his experiments in
West Texas along the same lines used by
Professor Wood.

LOGANSPORT, Ind, April pa

pocket, whose name is unknown, were
killed in q duel with revolvers late last
night, following a performance of cir
Gus.
A second man, Charles Pierce, of Scran-
ton, Pa. was caught this morning by
policemen chasing him on a hand-car six
miles north of this city, and is charged
with having fired the shot that killed the
policeman.
After the night performance of the cir
Gus the thugs raided the crowd with re-
volvers in their hands. Two of the
crooks established a station on the Third
street bridge. They not only held up
and robbed the passers, but they forced
their victims to line up against the rail
to see their successors despoiled.
Patrolman Kroeger came running, and
one of the thugs shot. The policeman
fell, but was able to draw his revolver
and answer. One of the men went down.
The other fed. The policeman, carried
into a restaurant, moaned, I'm dying.

a few minutes.
The pickpocket died this morning in

statement of his identity from him.
AS he was dying priest bent over him
with a last appeal. Summoning all his
strength, the man shouted, "You go to
hell" He fell back and was dead.

having killed Clifford Rutherford, as
sistant postmaster at Lenox, Ga, and
who was brought here for safe keep

talk with all the negroes he met en-
route. but would not even hold CONVEX

negro to Savannah, and he says he Is
the most cold-blooded and meanest man
he has ever come in contact with.

snapped his fine Stetson hat to an
other negro for a very common one be-
cause, he said, he would not have use
for fine hats where he would spend the
next few months.

COL. A. r. WRIGHT SPEAKS
AT GAINESVILLE

GAINESVILLE, Ca, April pa
downpour of rain did not prevent the
people of GAINESVILLE from making great
success Of the Memorial day exercises,
which, to accommodate the ladies, were
postponed from Monday 20 Tuesday. The
parade. formed near the postofhce,
marched through the rain to the audito-
rum of Gordon institute, where about a
thousand people assembled to witness the
exercises.
The principal feature Of the occasion
was the address by Col. A. R. Wright, of
Sandersville, the law partner of Congress
man Hardwick. He presented the two
views on which the contentious were laid
and then said there were only two ways
by which such differences could be set
tied, one by arbitration, which meant-com-
promise with wrong, and by force of
arms. He held that the south, believing
as 1t did, could do nothing less than
fight.
He made reference to a recent utter
ance of an Atlanta minister by saying
that any man who said the war was
unnecessary was insincere or had lost
his equipoise of mind. He said that every
principle for which the south had con-
tended was preserved as a result Of the
cause which was lost" He said every
battle fought by the Confederate soldiers
was for the Identical principles for which
Yorktown and Bunker Hill were fought.
After the Confederate and Union graves
had been decorated, the old veterans were
served with a bountiful dinner by the
ladies of the city.

SCRAP OVER CENSUS

lions pointed today to an early settle
ment OF the census ONCE controversy

soon will adjust themselves so that

gigantic task OF counting some ninety
million American noses.
Representative Crumpacker Of Indi-
ana. chairman OF the house committee
on census, had a long conference with
President Taft today. 1t is authori-
tativeIy stated that the president has
not at any time entertained an idea OF
vetoing the bin as IL came out OF con-
ference and the law will have his sig
nature Just as soon as the house and
senate approve the report OF the con-
ferees.
The president realizes, with the
trainers OF the measure, that the larger
share OF independent authority granted

Iutely necessary, but the idea that the
director is made superior 70 the presi-
dent and TO the secretary Of commerce
and labor, under whose department the
census bureau has been placed, is err
roneous. So long as the president has
the power Of appointment and removal.
Mr.. Crumpacker said today. the direc-
tor OF the census cannot be considered
as anything but subordinate to the
chief executive and must follow his
general directions or retire

Complaint is made because Of the recital in

If it could, two and one-half cents passenger
rates would be fixed for the stronger roads

100000 IN BRIDE
TO GET FRANCHISE

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-PatricK
Calhouns attorneys were invited today by
the prosecution to make legal acknowl-
edgment that the United Roads paid $500,
600 for the overhead trolley permit.
Mr.. Rogers, for the defense, was at
tempting to draw from Daniel G. Cole
man an admission that he had agreed
with Supervisor Gallagher to hold up
the Parkside franchise unless money was
paid, the object being to show that the
supervisors were engaged in a blackmail-
ing conspiracy.
DO you hold such proof will constitute
a legal defense?" asked Judge LAWYER.
IT do not" said Mr.. Rogers, but I hold
that It constitutes a fact that the jury
ought to know"
Mr. Heney objected but added that II
it was the purpose of the defense to ac-
knowledge the payment of the money as a
basis for proof of conspiracy he would
give them all the latitude they wanted
The invitation was not accepted.
