Chairman Stanley then directed his
I examination to the Tennessee Coal ana
Iron Company, which was absorbed by
the Steel Corporation.
WAS the T. C. and 1. an independ-
4 ent corporation before ii was bought by
the Steel Corporation?" asked the
chairman. -
1T was mighty independent about the
price it wanted from the Steel Corpora
Gon," said the witness.
Judge Gary said another independent
concern taken into the Steel Corpora
ton was the Union Steel Company.
When asked to furnish some informa-
ton about the Union Steel Company
Judge Gary said:
Mr.. Chairman, want to say that at
I" any time We will send this committee
any information on any subject. We
will be glad to give facts and figures
pertinent to this inquiry and regarding
3 the holding company and its subsidi-
aries"
"'The committee is hungry for facts"
said Chairman Stanley.
I'VE will stand or fall on our record,
whatever it iS,' said Judge Gary. The
Bureau Of Corporations has been look
ing into our affairs for about six years"
This statement seemed TO surprise
Chairman Stanley and he asked the
witness to repeat it.
DO you know whether the in
formation gathered by the bureau has
been furnished to the President?'
Judge Gary said he did not know
whether the President had the re-
ports. but called attention to the fact
that the work of investigation is not
yet complete.
5- Refers to Interviews.
Chairman Stanley told Mr. Gary he
as saying the Attorney General had
NJ
had given it a clean bill of health.
'I never made such a statement.
said Judge Gary. 1T isn't true.
couldn't in truth make such a state
ment."
.- Chairman Stanley then asked about
the American Iron and Steel Institute,
and Judge Gary denied that it was
true that at meetings of the institute
an effort was made to fix prices.
Il assure YOU he said, that quite
the. reverse is true"
The witness said he would supply
the committee with g copy of the
charter of the organization, the mem
bership consisting of iron and steel
men.
Chairman Stanley said he had heard
that the institute had for its object
an international agreement for the
= purpose of steadYing prices through
out the world, just as they have been
1teadied here.
Why He Started Inquiry.
Stanley said this information was
e. largely responsible for-the introduc-
ton OF his investigating resolution.
Chairman Stanley said his informa-
tion also was to.the effect that the
- agreement .3would nullify proposed
= tariff legislation on steel.
'"The statement of the chairman is
unusually frank" said Judge Gary,
''and deserves a frank answer The
question will be met in the same frank
spirit. l will give all the facts and
only wish you could have come to my
office about this matter and before you
introduced your resolution OF inquiry |
believe j would have satisfied you as
TO the real object of the institute
Judge Gary was not able to give the
information at this time because the
chairman adjourned the hearing in or
der that Democratic members could at
'end the wool caucus. He will resume
his testimony at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

FOUR HANDSOME
HOMES Will

On Lee Street and Harold

John Sheffield, G. 7. Buchanan, A. D.
GatedWOOd and ". N. Humber Are
Among Those Who Will Erect Pretty
Homes This Spring.

The plea for more homes in Ameri-
Gus is to be answered to an extent,
al least. in the building Of several
handsome residences out on the South
side this spring, although the dwell
ings thus planned are for homes ot
the owners and do not meet the great
demand for small houses 10 rent.
Messrs. John Sheffield, Eshron Blu
chanan, A. D. Gatewood and W. NJ
Humber have recently bought lots out
on the Southside and will build homes
this spring.
Messrs. Sheffield and Gatewood have
bought lots on the west side OF Lee
street, near the new home Of Mr.. John
B. Ansley. These lots are elevated
and considered among the most desir-
able vacant properties in suburban
Americas.
Mr.. Buchanan's lot lies immediatel!
south Of the residence of Judge J. A
Hixon, with an ample frontage on Lee
street.
1t is not known as yet when build
ing operations will be started, bu-
certainly during the early spring
months. These beautiful homes, hand
some in proportions and all detail, wild
prove an attractive addition to that
favored residence section of Americas
the Southside.
Over on Harold avenue, Mr.. W. II
Humber will soon build another very
attractive bungalow

FIVE MILLIONS FOR
site FOR SKY SCRAPER
Will Be The Worlds Largest
Office Structure

New York, January Bland in the
downtown district of this city has long
commanded prices that seem almost
fabulous in comparison with the rate
received for the ownership of most
portions of the earth's surface A new
figure has been set, however, on the
value of air space in this expensive
section of Manhattan by the figures for
the latest and greatest of New Yorks
collection of skyscrapers. This new
building, already under way, is to oc-
cupy an entire block front on lower
Broadway and will be fifty-five stories
high 1t will soar 750 feet into the air
and will oyertop the Metropolitan tow
er, the tallest building in the city at
present, by about fifty feet. In fact it
will be the Hottest structure ever rear
ed by man with the exception of the
Eiffel tower. The cost of this sky
scraper will be over $12,000,000 and
$5,000,000 has been paid for the site.
las it will occupy about 100000 cubic
feet of space it will be seen that the
air above lower Manhattan has al
market value of approximately a dollar
a foot exclusive of the ground area oc-
cupied. Not the least remarkable thing
about the new building is that it Isl
being erected from the profits of a 3
and 10-cent stores.

THE CASE OF THE ATLANTA
NEWSPAPERS.

1t will be a matter of general graft
fication in newspaper circles, not only
in Georgia but throughout the South,
that the cases against the Atlanta Con
stitution and Journal have SO COM
pletely fallen to the ground The re-
fusal of the grand jury to find a bill
against the Constitution and the throw
ing out of the court of the case
against the Journal by Judge Newman
indicated those two newspapers com
pletely It was clearly shown that
they acted within the letter OF the law
as passed by Congress for the guidance
of the papers enjoying the second class
mailing privilege.
Surrounding the law established by
Congress the postoffce department has
built up lots Ct regulations of its own
the authority Of which may we'll be
called into qves ion, as in these cases.
1t has been claimed for years, not only
in this but in other departments, that
the officials We're inclined to assume
legislative powers Of their own, and %
broaden or contract the laws as
passed by Congress. Perhaps the re-
suits Of these two cases will alter their
course in this respect. If it is neces-
sary to limit the second class privilege
more than Congress has seen fit to do
then the authority to do so should
come from Congress and not be AFRO
gated by the department officials.
The fact needs frequently to be
brought home in this country that Con-
gress is the law making body, not the
Washington departn ents. These two
attempts at prosecution of reliable
journals, under the ruling of the de-
partment and not under laws If Con-
gress, rivet attention strongly on this
fac. congressman, in a measure, are
to blame for this, they having been
too supinely Indifferent to the en-
croachments on their especial prerog-
alive by those whom the constitution
does not entrust with the law making
authority and yet who, in one guise or
another, take unto themselves respoa-
sibilities that in nowise pertain to their
official positions.

WHAT SOUTH GEORGIA
NEEDS is BOOMING
Wants Land Agents With Mon
Cy, Brains and Energy
(Macon Telegraph.)

All that South Georgia needs is al
land owners agent with about half the
brains and energy of Charles H. Seig,
who is making change-seeking North
eraers tumble over each other in their
haste to secure acres in the pine
barrens' of Florida, before the great
prize eIudes their grasp and not foot
ofthe precious land of promise will be
left for late corners.
One can hardly pick up a magazine
without finding Mr.. Seig's picture and
his alluring story generously spread
cut in the advertising section. The
last Sunday Magazine has full page,
the back of the cover. The February
Cosmopolitan has ten pages. Buy Al
Florida Farm at lie a Day, from
Charles H. Seig, THE Man Who Made
Florida" who offers ten acres and
liberty to all the struggling and OPP
pressed whose Observation-Disclosures
farms" can be had for $50 per acre, or
S. down and s. monthly, who has al
ready planted ten thosand satisfied
colonists," in a modern Eden where
the saw-palmetto runs riot and the
Spanish moss grows by the ton-far,
far from the maddening crowd, the
food trust, the corporations, the ia
riff fed monopolies and pretty nearly
all vexations and ills to which flesh is
heir.
The attractions and possibilities 1fI
the southern counties of our stateI
ought to be widely advertised. OIL
course ten-page inserts in popular
magazines are frightfully expensive,
but Mr.. Seig and the Florida lana,
owners behind him are evidently max
ing no end of money The same policy,
with the same sort of an agent, would
pay South Georgia landowners as well
and in the end even better.
We do not mean to reflect on either
the hustling Mr. Seig or the so-caIled
pine barrens of Florida. The latter
though somewhat monotonous to the
view of the critical eye, are we'll
adapted to variety of money-making
crops But the soil of Southern Georgia
is richer, the scenery more varied, the
land in many counties as cheap, aud
the agricultural and other opportuni-
ties far more numerous. Southern
Georgia only needs to be known in or
der to be preferred by every home
seeker.

FICKLE MAN.

Let not woman eer complain
Of the Inconsistency in love;
Let not woman e'er complain
Tickle man is apt to rove;
Look about through Natures range,
Natures mighty law is change;
Ladies, would it not be strange
Man should then a monster prove?
Mark the winds, and mark the skies;
Oceans ebb and oceans flow;

Round and round the seasons go.

To oppose great Natures plan?
