Denver Post OF yesterday:
F. G. Shaffer of the Grand June
tion Chamber of Commerce, is in
Denver today to arrange to take a
carload of good roads" boosters to
the Utah capital and sidetrack the
present plan to route the Denver.
salt Lake City highway via Chey-
enne, and through Wyoming to Og-
deh and the Mormon metropolis.
we want 100 enthusiasts from
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo
to descend on Salt Lake City and
show the good roads people thor,
how they are all wrong in their plans
Evidently they do not know-or
have forgotten If they did-that al
ready Colorado has provided for three
routes, one each from the cities
above named. which will unite at
Grand Junction and travel connie on
highway to the state line" said Mr.
Shaffer.
1t is the natural and logical line
from Colorado to Utah. believe
there Is now a good road as far east
as Green River. which will necessi-
tate building about 100 miles in Utah
to the state line. BY doing this Salt
Lake City will be in a position to
get all tne through tfaitlc from the
east. The line out of Denver will
connect with the main Travelled roads
all the way to Chicago and from
there to New York and Boston and
with diverging route to points north
and south.
The Panama exposition is bound
to attract thousands OF motorists
The choice of routes will lie through
Denver and Salt Lake CITY but
tourists will want to see the interme-
diate points in Colorado, and to do
that they will go via Grand Junction.
1t will mean money and big money
to our hotel men and merchants and
will be the best sort of advertising
for our state. The Grand Junction
chamber believes that with proper
representation the Utah officials will
see the light and build the necessary
stretch to connect Green River with
the Colorado roads

everything pertaining to children and
every kind and condition Of childhood

RELATIVES THINK

FORH|SMONEY
Kin of Young Albanian Begin
Probe of Strange Death in
Birmingham Hotel.

Following the discovery that Frank o.
Mays, "a years of age, 55 Garnett street,
shipping clerk for the Spool Cotton Com
pany, had been robbed prior to his mys-
FERROUS death Saturday in the Burton no.
tel, in Birmingham, Atlanta relatives to-
day began a searching investigation of
the mystery. believing the young man to
have been slain.
Coroner Brasher's Jury in Birmingham,
however found a verdict Of suicide.
Mays, who was transferred by the
Spool Cotton Company to the Birmfng-
ham office onlyi q week ago, was found in
his room in the Burton hotel unconscious
from the effects Of laudanum He dad a
few minutes later In an ambulance ON the
way to the Hillman hospital.
His body was brought to Atlanta last
night at midnight, and this afternoon ves
inferred in Westv1ew oemtery.
Money Bag and $500 Missing.
Tho theory Of murder grows out Of the
fact that Mays was robbed of nearly ev-
erything he possessed. A ohamois bag,
in which he had nearly 5000 and which il
known to have been fastened about his
neck, rs missing as is his gold watch and
trunk. The disappearance of the vaiu-
ables was discovered when examina ton
of his room was made after he was found
dying.
A search by the Birmingham police has
failed TO locate the money and effects
Members Of the family In Atlanta are
thoroughly convinced that murder was
done and that robbery was the motive and
intend to use every possible effort to get
to the bottom Of the mystery. The
Birmingham authorities today are endeav-
oring to find clew to the identity of any
person who may have been in the hotel
room with the young Albanian ut any
time Saturday.
The fact that the channels bag and
money are gone is regarded as a strong
chew, as it is believed the presence of this
money bag could not have been generally
known
Mays was single, and had lived In At
lanta all Of his life. He resided at SIS
Garnett street with his family His
mother is a widow. He has two broth
ers and two sisters, all of Atlanta, as fol-
lows: Rev, Henry Mays. Percy Mays

AUGUSTA. GA, Oct. IA general
feeling exists here that the street car
strike will soon be over, for the citi-

of the striking car men to the media
ton board today. in regard to whether
or moi the strikers will make conces-

to r7ceGe from the position that it has
nothing % arbitrate or mediate, still
the pressure that is being brought to

living today have another opportunity
to attend such a hearing. II is the
hope OF the bar. no less than the lay
men, OF course. that never again will
such q proceeding be necessary; but,
whether it were the hope or not, it
likely g true that the Fite case will
stand forever, isolated and alone, as
Georgia's one contribution to the spe-
cihc contempt record in question.
There was one feature of the hear
ing. however, melancholy its general
aspect may have been. that all Georgia
would have profited in having imme
date knowledge OF, and that feature
was the wonderful speech delivered. for
the court, by Judge Samuel B. Adams
of Savannah.
Fortunately it will be an available
part Of the record. for it was taken
down by a court reporter, and will be
transcribed into ordinarily readable
shape eventually.
This speech was a gem Of repressed
and dignified oratory-it will become a
classic.
II is not an easy matter to express
an opinion. even in favorable criti-
cism, upon a public utterance such as
Judge Adams was. 1t was so lofty in
tone, so chaste in language, so devoid
Of harshness or violence, and yet so
Tremendously impressive, that the in
clination is to discuss it with a meas
ure of reserve, that one may not seem
f,7Ic ahaI
ever so remotely with a mere desire to
praise
Judge Adams speech was one that
must have made very person who heard
it a better citizen, and patriot more
sure OF himself than ever before.
II decried the chea per and meaner
things of life--it exalted the virtues Of
simple faith and the sweeter and no.
bier sentiments.
II expressed the sincere and abiding
love OF a lawyer, without fear and
without reproach for the orderly and
earnest preservation of the peace
through the law honestly administered,
and freed of passion, prejudice and ap-
peal to the mob
In specific terms it reproached the
respondent in the case at bar not at
all; but it scathingly protested the ut
terance that called forth the contempt
proceedings, and it deprecated the ten
dency of such things.
Judge Adams speech should be read
by every Georgian. Nothing finer has
been said in all the history OF the
courts of the state-nothinG more
nearly certain in it's good and uplifting
effect.
If nothing more had come of the
Fite hearing than Judge Adams mag
nifcent address, the proceeding would
have been well worth willis
