H|CHER RATES ARE ASKED
DECREASE IN FREIGHT CHARGES MEANS DECREASED WAGES.
Employees, Therefore, Unite in Plea to Powers in Washington for
 Freedom for Roads.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 13.-Putting forth the claim that their homes, their families, their children and their future depends upon an increase of railroad freight rates, representatives of the employees of all Western rail- way lines are in conference here for the purpose of framing and adopting dent Taft and members of his cabinet, every congressman, senator, governors of all states and members of the in- terstate commerce commission, ask ing that the railroads be permitted to raise the rates.
 The representatives, of which there are several score, contend that the cost of living has increased so rapidly that they are in dire need of more pay and that as a result of the reduction increase, but instead their wages are in danger of being reduced.
 Thousands of copies of the petition which was practically framed before the meeting and which consists of about 1.500 words will be printed and sent out to enable all employees of Western roads to sign them.
 The meeting here being concluded, the men will then go to Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and cities in the East to circulate the petitions and obtain as many signers as possible before the next congress convenes. They insist the railroads are not be- hind the move.

FAIR SEX AT GORE TRIAL
WOMEN IN SMART FROckS SEEN
 IN COURTROOM.
Hearing Is Resumed at Sulphur Okla,
 and George Scott Is Called to Stand.

Sulphur, Okla Aug. 13.-'For the first time since the congressional com- uittee started it's investigation into the bribery charges brought by Sen ator Gore in connection with the h. dian land contracts held by J. F. Mo Murray, the fair sex has appeared to hear the testimony. When the in- quiry was resumed here attorneys, congressman and redskins were crowded about the four walls, while women in smart frocks occupied the chairs to hear how the Indians signed Big Chief McMurray's contracts, giving him a commission of $3,000,000 to sell their lands, because they be- lieved the Great White Father in Washington was too slow about it.
 George Scott, son-in-law of Chief Green McCurtain of the Choctaws, was the first witness called and de nied McMurray was to pay him for his services.
 Scott said when McMurray wired him he went to Washington at his own expense.
 Scott said he paid for the telegrams he sent to Washington and no one re- imbursed him.
 Then" said Chairman Burke, you were interested in McMurray, not only to the extent that you were will ing to pay him a 10 per cent commits sion, but you were also willing to re- sign a position that paid you $1,S00 a year, and you were willing to spend money for him.
 Yes" said Scott.
 But you only had an interest in a general way and in seeing the Indian affairs settled?" Burke queried Scott said that was all.

"a Knight for a Day" In Americus ON

No attraction appearing in Americus
this season has been accorded so much
praise as "a Knight for Day" which
will be presented at the opera house
Wednesday night. The papers in all
the Georgia cities have spoken in high
est praise of this glittering, scintil-
lating, mirth-provoking comedy.
1t will easily be the best show of
the winter, and an appreciative Amer
icus audience will see it.

Gifted with sense of humor, and
resenting his customers thoughtless-

himself his guests credentials and also
his knightly title. What hapens as a

Workmen begun yesterday the paw
ing on the east side of the Hotel
Windsor, between Lamar and Forsyth
street, and soon a smooth concrete
pavement will take the place of the
dump heap of brickbats that for twen-
ty years has proven an eyesore there
The work Of Improvement will soon
be extended to the wes4 side, or Jack
son street side of the hotel property,
and a substantial Sprcrete pavement
put down there - III. This pave
ment, at present, is about as rough
as the average pedestrian would care
to risk his pedals upon, and the i'm
provement will be appreciated. And
there is no good reason, seemingly,
why the pavement on the opposite
side of Jackson street, fronting the
Barlow block, should not be relaid. as
well, as the surface is uneven and
rough. The ordinance regarding paw
ing in the business and residence dis
tricts will be very generally enforced
this year, and improved sidewalks will
be had in all portions of the city.

GUARDIAN OF GIRL MAY

that search for Miss de Janon and Fer
dinand Cohen, the hotel waiter, who is
believed to have left this city with
her, is less active than it was several
days ago, which fact has lent color to
the rumors
1t is persistently reported that the
girl is on the farm of w. Atlee Burpee.
a personal friend of Roberta Buist,
Miss de Janon's grandfather, but this
is positively denied. The farm is at
Doylestown, Pa, twenty-five miles
from Philadelphia.
Timothy OLeary, assistant superin-
tendent of the police, tonight said he
had no knowledge of the whereabouts
of the girl, but made the significant re-
mark that the newspapers had better
drop the affair. High police officials
ventured the prediction that the news
papers will never get the story of the
extraordinary case.
Mrs. Ferdinand Cohen, wife of the
hotel waiter who disappeared about
the same time Miss Roberta B. de Ja-
non was reported missing, announced
her intention of bringing suit for $780,
600 against Robert Buist, the grand
father of the girl, for alleged aliena-
tion of her husbands affections.
Mrs. Cohen returned here from New
York and called upon Henry ]. Scott,
an attorney, and instructed him 10

Mr.. Scott said he would institute the
suit this week. The action, Mr.. Scott
said, will be brought against Mr..

BIG CRASH IN COTTON
CAME ON The RtPOR1S
Tumble in Prices is Almost
Eighty Points.

The Americus cotton contingent
were amazed yesterday at the sudden
and unexected collapse in cotton
prices, which put values down nearly
one cent a pound at the close. The
suddenness of the break, together with
its very extensive influences, is caicu-
lated to put many small plungers out
of business. And this may include q
few in Americus who continue to play
the market and known to be i'll for
goodly amounts. May contracts SEEM

when that position sustained a severe
stab from the bear pit, but finally re-

tremendous break as eighty points
in a day, and the Americus bunch
wondered last night how it happened.

TO VACATE THE POSTOFFICE
WITHIN A FEW WEEKS,
Admirable Location for a Wholesale
Business,

The fact that the present postoffice
building is to be vacated in Marcn,
when the new potoffice will be occu-
pied, suggests the probable use to
which it will be put. Why not a
wholesale dry goods house for Ameri-
Gus? The need of such enterprise has
long been apparent and particularly to
merchants here, some of whom buy
stocks in little towns near Americus,
where wholesale rates obtain. This
city is the centre of a large and rap
idly growing trading territory, and a
wholesale house of the character sug-
gested would quickly build up large
trade in this section. The postoffice
building soon to be vacated is one of
the handsomest in Americus, three
stories with imposing marble front
1t has frontage of fifty feet on one
of the principal business streets, with
depth of $50 feet, and is admirably
adapted for wholesale or retail busi-
ness.

Painter Digs Tunns'
Vain Effort to RI
Bank--Dirt Ca a
Upon HI
Az d-N
A.

New York, JaI.,'c isaac Finkel-
stein, the burrsw5r Of Ludlow street
was found slped in his tunnel Satur-
day IL rabbit in her warren. Yes
p10, 600 people crowded around
poor tenement house in which ne
,s1ad rooms to see his corpse brought
out. Sappers and miners dug 36
ours for him.
Nothing more futile and hopeless
was ever seen. There he lay, under
the middle of the street, a crushed.
miry semblance of a man, his face in
the dirt, his hands stretched out before
him, pointed toward the unattainable
millions | nthe vault of the East Side
branch of the Fourteenth Street bank.
His wife and their five children saw
the first stroke of the pick that uncov-
cred his shoes. They had been watch
ing the sappers in the trench all night
and all day Sarah, the eldest child,
was hard-eyed and defiant.
MY papa was an honest man. she
said doggedly. 'He does not dig for
anything. He went into the cellar
and fell into the hole" Sarah is Il.
Her mother, not less loyal, but wiser,
rocked to and fro, weeping silently,
and would neither be comforted non
ask help.
laac Finkelstein was a good-natur-
ed, easy-going house painter. He
knew nothing of driving tunnels. He
had only the rudest tools, no timber
to shore up the roofs and walls of his
burroW, no burglars kit to bore
through the concrete and steel wayys
of the bank vaults, no adequate idea
of the elaborate precautions constant
ly on watch inside those walls against
him, no revolver for the ever possible
crisis-nothing but his guilty dream.
And the dream collapsed.
What ingenuity he had was tasked
to the utmost to keep his secret from
his wife. 1t might be better now if he
had told her. That is all there is to
Finkelstein and his terrifying tunnel.
1t would be ludicrous if it were not so
pitiful
Finkelstein was a patron of the East
Side moving picture theatres, and
many and many a successful bank rob-
berry had he seen flashed briefly on the
white sheet by the calcium light. These
things may have worked on the imag-
nation of the easy-going, impecurious
painter, with five children to support.

THE SOILS OF SUMTER
WILL Be SURVEYED
Work Begun dt AmeriCuS
Recently.
VIII Be Pushed By the
Department---Soil Sur
vey in Many Coun-
ties of State.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The bureau
of soils of the United States depart.
| ment of agriculture has begun the
winters work in the state of Georgia
with soil surveys of Bulloch and Sum.
ter counties. With the reorganization
of agricultural high schools in eacf
] congressional district, there has beer
a considerable demand for soil survey
work in Georgia and the examination
of soils in the sections in which these
agricultural high schools are located
For this reason Bulloch county, III
the First district, and Sumter county
in the Third district, were selected
for the seasons work.
In Bulloch country, c. N. Mooney
has charge of the soil survey, assisted
at present by w. C. Byers Owing to
the large size of the county, two ad-
ditional men from the soil survey
force will be sent to assist Mr.. Moon
ey, and the survey completed at an
early date in 1910.
The Work at Americus.
J. c. Britton, who was formerly con-
nected with the Agricultural High
School at Americus, Ca, has charge of
the soil survey in Sumter county, be-
ing assigned to this work on account
of his familiarity with the soils and
agriculture of that section He is
assisted by Mr.. Welch and the party
has its hearquarters at Americas dur
ing the progress of the survey.
Soil surveys have already been made
in Cobb, Pike, Hancock and Tiff coun-
ties, where agricultural high schools
are located, and additional soil sur
veys have been made in seven other
localities in Georgia.
The soil surveys give an excellent
county map in each case, upon which
is shown in colors the extent and To-
cations of the different kinds of land
in each county. The map is also ac-
companied by a report on the condi-
tion of agriculture and the particular
uses to which each soil in the county
may best be put.
Best Methods of Farming.
The report also discusses present
methods of farming and the possibility
of improving these methods. 1t gives
rcount of the origin of the soils,
characteristic of each, the nature
SBf the climate, market facilities of the
region, and, in fact, constitutes an Of
fetal certificate of the character of
the land and the progress of agricul-
ture in each of the localities where a
soil survey is made.
1t is the purpose of the bureau Of
soils to continue soil survey work In
Georgia until a good soil may has been
made of each of the counties in which
the agricultural high schools are To-
Gated.
