White man IS SPADING
Dirt ON Changing
TiqGFite in Atlanta is Landed
There

Atlanta, April 12.-Atlanta, at last,
after spending thousands of dollars
and failing in many trials, has sue
ceeded in sending a white man to the
changing for violatingf the prohibit
ton law-has succeeded in putting
chains on his legs and making him
work the roads with a pick and
shovel. The man is Sam Loeb. There
never has been any question about
his moral guilt, but the prosecuting
lawyers have been having the fight Of
their lives to saddle the guilt on him.
The fight has lasted over two years.
1t has gone through the recorders
court, through the Superior court,
through the State Court of Appeals,
through the United States Supreme
court. There was nobody else On
earth to appeal it to, barring an in
arbitration board, and this
morning Loeb is on the rock pile.

COMING AT RATE OF
IS MILES A YEAR
Boil WGGViI Keeps its Steady
March to Sea

Atlanta, April 12-Dr. w. D. Hun
ter. of the United States bureau of En-
tomology, prominently the greatest
boil weevil expert in the world, spent
Monday in Atlanta, visiting his friend,
E. Lee Worsham, Georgia state entom-
olog'st.
DR.. Hunter, whose headquarters
have been Dallas, Texas, for the past
ten years, has executive charge of
the whole Southern field of crop in
sect investigation; but all his individ-
ual work during the past few years
has been devoted to the study of the
boil weevil While DR.. Hunter says
that parasites have been used success
fully on a limited scale, he believes
that the early planting of cotton and
the planting of varieties which ma
ture early are the best two of all
means to fight the inroads of the pest
into Georgia.
DR.. Hunter throws no new light on
the march of the boil weevil toward
this state. He verifes the fact that
they are coming at the rate of so or
Is miles year, and that they are now
in the middle of Alabama. So they
should reach the Georgia line in about
two years.

CAUSE OF SUFFRAGE
is FAST GROWING
Municipal League Told So
Recently

New York, April 12.-Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst, the English suffragette
leader, made at the Women's Munich
pal League yesterday afternoon her
last address before sailing. She said
that everywhere she had been in the
United States she had found the SUE
frage sentiment growing,
"In Iowa l addressed the upper and
lower houses together" she said, "and
am told that it was the first time in
forty years, since the days of Susan B.
Anthony, that a woman had been be-
fore that Legislature. l spoke to other
Legislatures and at colleges, where
found the sentiment very much in
clined toward giving women the vote.
AT Wellesley they took a census a
short time before I spoke and it was
found that the freshmen were mostly
anti-suffragists, but that the feeling
changed as the classes advanced in
school, until in the senior class so
per cent Of the girls were suffragists
and every member of the faculty was
in favor of it,"
Miss Pankhurst said that in some
ways factory laws in England were
ahead of the legislation here, and cit
ed the fact that women factory in
spectors are employed in England
Men inspectors do not receive the
confidence of women employees as a
woman inspector would; nor does he
understand the problems so well. 1t
is the nature of women to want clean
houses, to look after the poor, the sick
and the needs of those under her, and
she makes an ideal inspector. Nor is
she apt to step into the manufactur-
er's office for cigar as a man is, and
give a chance for things to be cleared
up in the mean time"
Miss Pankhurst said that, the high
cost of living considered, she did not
think wage earning women worked
under greater advantages here than
they do in England There was mad
equate protection for women factory
workers, she said, and their pay was
much lower than mems.

TWO BILLION DOLLARS
TO RUN RAILROAD
FIGURES That SHOW Immensely
Of Expenses

Atlanta, Ga, April 12.-It cost the
railways of the United States nearly
two billion dollars to pay operating
expenses and taxes during the cal
endar year 1910, as shown by the re-
turns made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The exact amount
was s1,923,634,653. This was an aver
age of $9,017 for each of the 213,347
miles of road covered by the returns,
an increase of 1914 per mile over
1909.
transportation expenses, having to
co with the actual movement of the
traffic, constituted the largest item Of
expense, amounting to $933,0S0,S31, 1r
$4,374 per mile, an increase of $512
per mile over 1909. Maintaining the
roadbed and tracks and keeping bridg-
es and buildings in repair cost the
railways of the United States an aver
age of 81 $40 per mile, an increase of
$40, and repairs to cars and loco
motives cost them an average of 81
GA per mile, an increase of $167 over
1909
That the railways of the Southeast
ern States were we'll maintained dur
ing the year is shown by the fact that
while the expenditures for maintain
ance of way and structures for the
railways of the entire United States
showed an increase of 11.3 per cent.
over 1909, the expenditures for the
railways of the Southeastern States
showed an increase of 1873 per cent.
and while the expenditures for main
tainance of equipment for the entire
United States showed an increase of
SO per cent, the increased eXpendi-
lures of the railways in the South
eastern States under this heading
amounted to 1872 per cent.
AS indicating the rapid progress of
the South in industrial and CONNER
cial development, it is interesting TO
note that while the volume of freight
traffic on all the roads in the United
States increased only 7.6 per cent. for
the year 1910 over 1909, the increase
on the roads of the Southeastern
States was 10.1 per cent, and while
the volume of passenger traffic on all
the roads increased only 81 per cent.
the increase in the Southeastern States
was 100 per cent.
