 OF GEORGIA ROAD

New York, June 16.-The sale of the Central of Georgia railway to the Illinois Central railroad, carrying out plans fore casted more than year ago, was an- nounced today. The transaction originated in negotiations eliminating in Novem- Der, 1907 when the entire capital stock of the Central of Georgia passed into the hands of William Nelson Cromwell and John W. Castles. The purchase, it was announced few months later, was for E. H. Hartman, whose intention, 1t was then stated, was to transfer 1t to the Illinois Central. The price paid by the Illinois Central railroad was not given out. Announcement of the transfer was made in this city by John F. Hanson of Atlanta president of the Central of Geor- gia-
 The price paid by MT. Hartman for the stock to the par value of $5,0O0,00O, it was stated, was 8, ,oo00O0, or at the rate of $60 per share.
 The transfer of the Central of Georgia carries with it the control of two steam ship lines, one from Savannah to New York and the other from Savannah to Boston. operated by the Ocean Steamship company.

Sitting around the edges of beautiful lake which was banked with roses, skirt ed by reeds and willows, filled with float ing water lilies, and on whose placid surface swam ducks and fshed a fisher man, while fountains murmered the music of the water, the visiting publishers were banqueted last night at the Hotel Hillman by the Chamber of Commerce.
 It was a scene of unrivaled beauty planned upon large scale and the most unique that has ever been attempted in Birmingham. The lake filled half the large banquet hall, while a life-sized man sat in his canoe and 1shed for the trout which swan in schools and snapped. at his fly.
 The banquet itself was appropriate for the occasion. At each plate beautiful programme, souvenir of Birmingham and of the association and tobacco case of unusual design were placed. The cream was served to represent newsboy. holding in his hand miniature extra edi- tion of New York paper, and between the courses a newsboy ran through the hall. crying extra edition!

Taf's Recommendations on Taxing Are Endorsed
FIGHTING FOR INCOME TAX
The Senators Do Not Believe Taft's Special Message Will Accomplish Results, So They Will Fight
 For Income Tax.

Washington, June 16.-Five progressive republican senators, Messrs. Borah, Bris- tow, Cummins. Lar ollette and Clapp, con- ferred tonight to determine what their attitude is to be in relation to the in- come tax amendment to the tariff bill in the face of the Presidents special mes sage to Congress today, favoring the sub- mission of the question to the states for a constitutional amendment and the actment of a law taxing the net earnings of corporations
 They decided that the Presidents plan is not inconsistent with their demands for the adoption of an amendment tax ing incomes and that both may be adopt ed in harmony. They assume that the Presidents plan, indorsed by leading re- publicans on the finance committee, is designated to "cnloroform" the income tax amendment, but nevertheless, an- nounce that they will continue the fight for its adoption.
 In brief statement, prepared by Messrs. Borah and Bristow, the support CTS of an income tax amendment, say; , "The friends of the income tax feel 1t their duty to continue to put forth every effort to secure the adoption of the measure. They will, therefore, urge the adoption of the amendment. They also stand ready to support resolution providing for an amendment to the con- stitution of the United States. While they believe that the supreme court will sus- tain the law. yet to provide against any
 
 from an adverse decision, they gladly fa- vor the proposition to amend the consti tuition. They do not feel satisfied with simply a corporation tax. A tax upon the net Income of corporations alone will very imperfectly reach the desired re- suit. It will take tens of thousands of stockholders whose total incomes are very the immense personal incomes of the country. The provision they favor treats large incomes exactly alike, whether re- ceived by corporations or individuals, and whether arising from interest, dividends, inheritances or otherwise The plan which they propose simply carries the Presi- dents views to their legitimate end and Is as consonant with the decision of the supreme court as is the tax on corporate  incomes alone.
 There is no reason for exempting from this tax the vast incomes of individuals like Carnegie, Rockefeller and others, a very large part of whose fortunes do not consist of corporation stocks. It Is also well known that corporations especially the larger ones, can, in most instances, shift the burden of the tax to the public by imposing upon the people increased charges and prices.
 "As to the publicity feature, there Is no substantial difference between the two measures. In other words, there is the same necessity for securing information insuring publicity in the income tax as in the corporation tax.
 Every possible effort will be made to secure the passage of the income tax amendment
