from the turkey ttet to possum hunt.
Indeed, it wouldn't surprise his friends
to see him take up aviation.
But come to think of 1t, Atlanta cele-
brated his SEVENTEEN birthday couple
Of years ago, and some celebration it
was, too. If DR.. Osler and his chloro-
form theory had shown up at the club
that night they'd have been laid on the
table-or under it. The record shows
that Bob Lowry married just after he
cast his first vote, so the calendar may
be right. after all.
But If man is only as old as he feels
the colonel is just the right age for a
dinky cloth hat with college colors on
the band and one of those stiugy plaid
suits with a surcingle around it, In def
erence to public opinion and the dignity
expected Of banker, Colonel Lowry
wears a regular grown-up suit and
rides in a limousine instead of a racing
car But his necktie is just as red as
any freshman ever dared to wear and
he absolutely refuses to join his con-
temporaries in believing the "old tines
were better than today.
The colonel is a heap more likely to
talk about what he and the rest of At
lanta are going to do twenty years from
now than to bark back to the time
when Sherman burned the town.
A Honeymoon Of so Years.
Robert ]. Lowry-he was Little Bob
Lowry then-came to Atlanta from his
home in the East Tennessee mountains
when he was just youngster, and for
a long time he was with his father In a
wholesale grocery business on old Lloyd
street just at the foot Of Alabama.
Across the railroad tracks at the foot
of Wall street stood the Markham
house, the most magnificent hotel that
the country boy had ever seen. And
in the Markham house were Colonel
Markham and his swallow tailed coat
and his daughter, Miss Emma Mark
ham the toast of the town. 1t wasn't
long until she became Mrs. Lowry.
That was so years ago next Monday,
and It has been a half-century honey
moon The devotion of Colonel and
Mrs. Lowry is one of the proverbs Of
Atlanta. They have made Darby and
Joan and the well known John Ander-
SON My Jo-John look like Nat Good

years have been trimming over with
happiness and good times and hospital
ity.
The Lowrys have been the most royal
entertainers Atlanta has ever known.
The famous balls in the ancient Mark
ham house and later in the KimbalN
were not complete unless Mrs. Lowry
was chaperon- in chief and the colonel
led the grand march down the center.
1t was Colonel Lowry who brought
the first coach-and -four to Atlanta and

became too full of ILL., smelling motor

Officials to Deny.
Union s Charges.

Mr.. Scott and Superintendent ". :.
Brand, of the road, vigorously denied
the charge and declared that although
their side had not been heard during
the morning, they would refute the
charges at the proper time.
Mr. Scott asserted that he welcomed
the introduction OF the letters.
There was considerable fencing be-
tween the respective opponents of cap
ital and labor, including Mr.. Scott and
MIR. Brand on the one hand and Mr.
Gregg, vice president of the Order Of
Railway Conductors, and James Muir
dock, vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. Charles
A. Wickersham, representing the rail-
roads in the court, and f. A. Burgess,
representing the unions Joined in with
questions, and Judge William l.. Cham
bers also sought to sift the evidence.
Answering the charge of Mr.. Muir
dock that he could not be found for
conference during the time prior to the
strike and that he had been located in
Atlanta only today, Mr.. Scott replied
that there was a reason for turning
over the conferences for Mr.. Brand to
handle, and that he would explain when
his turn came to talk. Mr.. Burgess
lead Mr.. Gregg out by asking if the
complaint of the union leaders were not
based on what the workmen had
brought TO their ears. Mr.. Gregg re-
piled that it was, but Mr.. Wickersham
wanted to know what the union lead
ers were going to do to bring their wit
nesses into court to make out a con-
crete case. Mr.. Gregg and Mr. Muir
dock declared they had plenty of wit
nesses, but they didn't think It neces-
sary to call anybody In, and, further
more said Mr.. Murdoch, they were
afraid because the men might lose
their Jobs.

Mayor Tells Health Boards
Chief to Go Ahead Without
His Assistance.

Because it appeared too dangerous to
pull down the 175-foot steel smokestack
Of the crematoIy. DR.. w. L. Gilbert,
president of the boarG of health, made
a contract with the Atlanta Machine
Company today TO have the stack taken
down piece by piece. He said he ex-
pected the contract to be signed and
work begun this afternoon. The price
stipulated is s475.
While taking down the stack this
way will not demolish the crematory
building, 1t will render it useless. And
it would cost many thousands of dol
lars to put the plant back in working
order
DR.. Gilbert said nothing but an in
junction would stop the work. He add
ed that if the board of health were en-
Joined from tearing down the plant he
was certain the crema tory would not
be used for consuming garbage again.

DR.. Gilbert and the other members

they can get the work started on the

Woodward will not have the nerve to
stop the work by refusing to sign the
check for the payment on the plant
next year.
But they are fearful that if the work
is not begun before Mr.. Woodward be-

Friends of James C. Woodward de-
clared today that the minute efforts
were begun to pull down the stack an
injunction would be filed against the
board Of health. 1t is said they have
spies watching the operations around
the crematory. which is between the
Terminal station and the plant of the
Atlanta Gas Light Company, just off of
Marietta street.
Although number Of members of
council are displeased at the arbitrary
attitude taken by the board of health,
they have so far made no effort to block
the board. Alderman A. H. VanDyke,
who IS an ex-offiCio member of the
board. said the board could proceed
without interruption so far as he was
concerned He said he had done his
duty when he prevented an approval of
the contract to tear down the old Gre
matory by council. He said, however,
that he would confer with Alderman

GOVERNOR THINKS ORDER
WILL CAUSE CONFUSION
Ruling Will Not Bring Any
Change at Atlanta and Other
Large Points. j

BY a vote of to 2, the Travellers
Protective Association Of Georgia, rep
resenting the commercial travellers
generally, has won a qualified victory
before the railroad commission, in its
fight for the pulling" of mileage on
passenger trains in Georgia, instead Of
the ticket exchange system, now in
vogue
The order OF the commission is up
held by Commissioners Trammell Hill
yer and Perry.
1t is dissented from by Chairman
Gambler and Commissioner Gray.
The order of the commission is as
follows:
In re: Travellers Protection asso-
citation ct al. versus Atlanta and
West Point Railroad Company ct al.
Complaint as to regulations gov
erning interchangeable mileage.
Resolved, by the commission, that
all railroads selling mileage or &
penny scrip books are hereby re-
CURED on and after February 1,
1913, to pull the same on the trains
| Of the company selling the same,
when presented by the holders for
transportation between points
wholly within the state of Georgia.
except where passengers board
trains in cities of 10000 population
or more, according to the United
States census of 1910, in which
places mileage or penny scrip shall
be exchanged for tickets.

Ruling Concludes
A Long Contest.

This concludes a long fight between
the travelling men on the one hand ana
the railroads on the other-a fight that
was won in the legislature and upset BY
executive veto, only to be won again, to
a limited degree, before the railroad
commission today.
The order does not apply to inter
changeable mileage, save in Its intra-
state aspect and 1t does not permit the
checking of baggage on mileage strips
to be pulled
1t Is not applicabl to cities Of 10000
and over hence all travelling by mile
age book out of Atlanta, Macon, Co
lumbus, Rome, Valdosta and other
cities Of 10000 and up, still will come
under the present system OF ticket ex-
change.
1t is not such an order, by any means
as was prayed for, but 1t will be consid-
cred by the travelling men most graf
flying victory as far as it goes
The dissenting opinion of Chairman
Gambler and Commissioner Gray Is ex-
haustive, and particularly significant in
its conclusion, which reads:
We dissent from the order passed
by the majority of the commission.
We believe it not only wrong in
principle, but discriminatory, and
so vague and indefinite in language
as to be wholly impracticable, and
Will result in constant friction If
enforced or attempted to be en-
forced. If not in the withdrawal en-
tirely Of two-cent fares In Georgia.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-09
Roads May Withdraw
Mileage in Georgia.

The suggestion in this dissent un-
doubtedly is that the railroads may be
expected to follow this order by with
drawing entirely the interchangeable
mileage in Georgia.
II that is done, all fares automat-
ically will go back to the legal mini
mum of 2 IL cents instead of cents,
as is now the voluntary interchangeable
rate.
Governor Brown, whose veto of the
mileage pulling" bill, which passed the
last legislature, so aroused the travel
Ing men, would not discuss the order
passed by the commission today, other
than to say that he would rest satisfied
neither to add to nor take from his po-
sition as outlined in his veto message.
He believes the order will result in
endless confusion and that under it's
operation the last estate Of the travel
ing public will be worse than its first.
but he will have no public criticism to
pass upon the commissions act.
The fact that the final status OF the
travelling mems fight for mileage pull
ing in Georgia finds Chairman Gambler
and Governor Brown largely on COM
mon ground Is extremely interesting
The commissions order win go into
effect on February /. and il Is final and
conclusive.

A MUSICIANS ROMANCE.
FaneIli's Triumph, That Came After
Thirty Years Of Misery.

The life story of NJ. Taneli, the COM
poser of "TableauX SymphoniQues"
reads like a romance. How easily it
might have read like tragedy this in
cident will snow.
In his youth Fanelli had been cour.
ageous and ambitious. full Of dreams
Of the music he was going to write for
the world to hear and admire. But
misfortune followed misfortune. He
found it impossible to get hearing
for his compositions, and one by one
his dreams began to fade
Ten, twenty, thirty years went by.
Fanelli, all hope crushed by continued
adversely, was earning a pittance by
playing night after night in an orches-
ira. None Of his colleagues suspected
his genius, for he kept his ambitions
locked in his heart, as he kept the
symphony, the masterpiece Of his
youth, locked in his desk
Then one day Fanelli, in search Of
work as a copyist, called upon Gabriel
Pierne, one Of the great musical celeb
rites Of Paris. Asked to show sam
pie of his writing, Fanelli produced
the symphony, which he had brought
with him. Pierne looked at it and saw
that the writing was clear; then he saw
something more, for he continued read
Ing the music eagerly.
'Who is this Fanelli?' he asked at
length.
Myself" answered the composer: II

leave this with me and come again
In few days."
So Fanell1 went out, while Pierne, too
enrapt to say goodby, stood by the
window, poring over the music. A
few days later he announced to the de-
going to produce the symphony at one
Of the Concerts Colonne.
On the eventful night Fanelli him
self took a seat with the musicians.
Tears came into his eyes as he heard
the first strains Of his work, neglected
for SO many years. He was not alone
in his emotion. however, for as the
music proceeded tears came into the
| eyes of the other musicians, the di-
| rector, the audience. The music took
them by storm. When it was over a
burst Of applause broke out, rose and
swelled and would not die away. The
composer alone sat quiet, as if in deep
thought. Finally he got up. walked
over to Pierne. and With a full heart

DEMOCRATS SURE OF
CONTROL IN SENATE
VIII Have Majority Of Two in
Upper Branch Of Congress.

Washington, Nov 10.-The positive
announcement Of the success of Harry
Lane, the Democratic candidate for
the senate in Oregon, assures Demo-
cratic control Of the upper house of
congress and places both branches of
the national legislature and the pres
idency in their hands for the first time
in eighteen years. The addition Of
Oregon to the Democratic list gives
that party forty-nine senators, or a
majority Of two.
In addition to the election Of sue
cessOrs to Democratic senators now
sitting, Democrats will replace Repub-
ican senators from Oregon, New Jer
sey, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Del.

cancE in Colorado with man OF the1

The contests in Illinois, where two
senators are to be chosen, and in Ten
nessee and Michigan, remain to be de-
Clded. Whatever the result in any Or

of the senate is assured and the Demo-
Gratis will be able to shape legislation
