.IF HOKE SMITH is OUT, THEN
I'M IN THE RACE" SAYS RUSSELL

sells presence here recalls n visit he
made several years ago when he came to
discuss with Georgia's congressman the
ACCESSIBILITY of his candidacy for the
United States senatorship against Sena-
tor Bacon. This was before his first race
for governor while he was still a circuit
judge.
Judge Russell is a first cousin of Con-
gresham Gordon Russell, of Texas, who
wants to be made a United States dis
trict judge by President Taft. Judge Rus
sell hopes to see the president before he
departs and say a good word for his
cousin.
1t is believed that the real object of
Judge Russelrs visit to Washington was
his desire to feel the political pulse of
the Georgia senators and representatives
IN congress relative to his gubernatorial
aspirations.
Previous to his visit Judge Russell had
written to several members of the Geor-
gia delegation asking to see them upon
the occasion of his visit, and though
his letters did not disclose his purpose
the congressman who know him are con-
fident that he wants to talk about the
governorship, more particularly his
chance of election and their attitude to-
ward his candidacy. He stopped off en-
route to Canada. where he is going to
attend a convention.

PULLMAN COMPANY
FIGHTS REDUCTIONS

CHICAGO, May 1S.-Legal warfare
against the interstate commerce commits
sion to prevent the lowering OF sleeping
car rates as ordered by the commission.
was begun here today in the filing of a
bill for injunction against the latter.
The bill was filed by General Solicitor
Daniels. of the Pullman company, with
the clerk of the United States circuit
court.
The bill attacks the jurisdiction of the
CT mmission over the company.
The interstate commerce commission,
reduced the rates on sleeping car berths
between Chicago and st. Paul and Mime
appolis, between Chicago and the Pacific
coast and between the Twin Cities and
the coast.
The contention is based upon the the
ory that the Pullman company is not a
common carrier. 1t will be insisted that
the company is more in the nature OF a
hotel company, selling lodging and that it
has nothing to do with the sale of trans
portation nor with the physical act of
transporting people or things.

That gallant old member of Grants
staff, Gen. Horace Porter, has proved
that there is ut least one exception to the
proverb about being a jack at all trades
and a master of none. He started out to
be a soldier and Grant declared that he
was no amateur at the fighting game
mot the modern Jeffries-Johnson kind.
He quit the army in 1878 after having
reached a major generalship.
Since then he has been one of the chief
officers of the Pullman Car company, a
fine railroad executive, an author, diplo-
mat, statesman, orator and few other
things too numerous to mention. That
he made good is evidenced by the num-
Der of medals that adorn his broad chest
Porter has every other American beaten
a block at cornering medals and honor
airy decorations. His path has been
strewn with them from the days of the
civil war TO the time he retired as the
American ambassador at Paris to make
way for J. p. Morgan's representative,
Robert Bacon.

MONEY ORDERS ADD MUCH
TO TRADE OF ATLANTA

About s3OOOOOO worth of money orders
will have been handled by the money or
der department at the postoff1ce by the
end of the governments fiscal year,
which closes June 80.
II is estimated by the postmaster that
the money orders paid here during the
fiscal year will amount to s2,225. 900, and
that those issued will amount to $775,-
co.,
Atlanta is developing a money order
business resulting in an amount of out
of-town trading of which few are cognl-
zant. In comparison with the number of
money orders paid in Atlanta, the num-
Der issued is insignificant
While out-of-town patrons add over
two millions each year to Atlantas bust
ness, buyers here find so complete a
market that they spend less than $780,
OO0 in trading elsewhere through money
orders.
Prohibition had the effect of reducing
the money orders paid in Atlanta, also
stringent rules the government has
adopted in regard to contests with too
strong an element of chance. But the
steady growth of Atlanta and the deveI-
opment by local houses Of out-of-town
trade keeps the money orders pouring in
steadily throughout the year.
The record which the fiscal year will
show in regard to money orders and pos
tai receipts will be a high tribute to
Atlanta's business position.
While the money orders handled will
amount to IS, 100000 the postmaster hopes
that the postoffice receipts will total
around s1,0000OO He is striving now in
cooperation with the chamber of COM
merce to have Atlanta's postal receipts
for the fiscal year surpass those Of New
Orleans, Louisville and all other south
ern cities.

BOILERS PLEDGE
THEIR SUPPORT TO JUDGES

NASHVILLE, Tenn. May 1s.-Pursu-
ant to call signed by over 10000 Demo-
Gratis representing every county in Ten
nessee, one Of the largest mass conven-
tons ever held in Tennessee assembled
here today. This convention was called
for the purpose of taking such action as
may be deemed proper to uphold and sus-
tain the action of those candidates for
judges of the supreme court and court OF
civil appeals who have taken the stand
for what they declare is an untramnel-
ed independent judiciary in Tennessee,
a judiciary free from partisan, fractional
entanglements, and who have announced
their candidacy before the whole people
of the state in the regular judicial cleo
ton in August.
Not only is today's convention one OF
the largest ever seen in Tennessee, but
one of the most representative. From
all the walks of life irrespective OF past
factional differences. from every county
in Tennessee have the delegates come TO
give voice to their sentiments.
Today's convention is the outgrowth OF
the recent state Democratic executive
committee in adopting a so-called 0lan-
ket primary plan in which many Demo-
Gratis of the state openly revolted.
Delegates began to arrive yesterday
DNN-- ~N-o
on every train and it is estimated that
there are fully 5000 delegates in the city.
Many men long prominent In the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party In Tennes-
see, are conspicuous among the delegates

participated in the politics Of the state
are active now.

GIVES UP MINISTRY
TO WORK FOR LIQUOR

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Rev. Will
liam A. WATSON, has resigned from his
Episcopale pastorate at Riverhead, Long
Island. to work for limited license as
against total prohibition of the sale Of
intoxicating liquors. In a letter to the
Right Rev. Frederick Burgess, DID,,
bishop of Long Island. DR.. WATSON says
he wishes to give his whole time to
lighting temperance falsely so-called, and
advocating the true temperance, which
means moderation and self control
"A copy OF the official organ OF the
National Prohibition party is before me"
he continues, containing an editorial, the
gist of which is that if Jesus did drink

generations. Jesus Christ must SIT at the
