A DiSqruntIed, Irregular Affair.

Homer Guardian Journal: A mum
Der of banks ard railroads sent
agents TO Baton Rouge to lobby
against the commission amend
ments. They alleged the proposed
plan caused them to bear an unjust
proportion of State taxes, but the
original draft was modifie dsome
thereby placating this opposition
We apprehend that there are SO
many dieffrent interests being con
sidered, that the plan when com
pleted will be disjointed, irregular
affair.

AUGUSTANS URGING
BRINSON TO EXTEND
ROAD TO THAT CITY

AUGUSTA, GA, June 22.-George NJ.
Brinson, principal owner OF the Brinson
railroad. which is now operating be-
tween Savannah and Waynesboro, has
conferred with leading business men of
the Chamber Of Commerce in regard to
extending the road to Augusta. Mr..
Brinson will be offered every induce
ment to bring his road here.
Thomson. Washington, Harlem and
other towns are making efforts to in
duce Mr. Crimson to operate his road
their towns to Athens, his re-
ported ultimate destination. 1t was
contended that the tonnage from Au-
gusta would be greater than the COM
bined tonnage from all the other places
and also that coal would be
cheaper if he brought his road here,
because of the low rate by way of Car
olina roads
Jacob Phinizy, president of the Geor-
gia Railroad bank, was appointed
chairman of a committee to confer with
Mr. Crimson in regard to what induce
ments Augusta should make to bring
the road here.

Sets Bed Clothing
Afire Three Times.

The medical practice that had been
one Of the best in Alabama began to
fall rapidly away. DR.. Forshee became
almost a recluse in his own home, and
when, at long intervals. his friends did
see him, they shuddered at the change
in the face and attitude Of the former
Beauty Forshee.'
A few weeks ago Mrs Forshee de-
cided that her husband must go some
where for treatment II he were not
to lose his life. To her surprise he
readily fell in with her plan and he
came to Atlanta upon the understand
ing that he would enter a sanitarium for
year and then return to Brewton to
realize those promises of his earlier
career. He came to Atlanta but he
did not enter a sanitarium. Instead he
went to a hotel and his nervous condi-
ton grew rapidly worse. Three times
in the fits Of distraction which were
more frequent now than ever he acct
dentally set afire the bedclothing i'm his
room and once narrowly escaped with
his life

his college days declared today that he

assistance is DIR. W., Jay Bell Jr., who
has offices in the Gambler building. Or.
Be1f read In yesterday Georgian the
account of how the chief of police of
Foshee'S home town of Brewton had
come over here with a commitment for
his transfer to the Alabama state hos

had locked UP the man only to release
him, in spite Of his pathetic condition,
when he refused to return to Alabama

HELEN MIG. COOKE,
WRITER'S DAUGHTER.
is NOVELIST'S BRIDE

Helen MCGOWAN Cooke, 1Syear-o old
daughter of Grace MCGOWAN Cooke, is
now the wife of an author as well as
the daughter of one. She welded Hen
ry Leon Wilson. author Of The Spend
ers'' and several other novels, comic
opera librettos and plays, at Carmel
Cal, this week. The wedding was
surprise TO the colony at Carmel byl
the Sea, for though both the parties
had been rehearsing for summer theat-
ricaIs there. none suspected their en-
gagement They will live at Mr.. Will
sons summer home near Carmel.
Miss Cooke is known to many At
lantans. who remember her as the tiny
daughter of Mrs. Grace MCGOWAN
Cooke. the Southern novelist. Mrs.
Cooke is the daughter of Colonel Nc
Gowan, formerly a noted editor in
Chattanooga, and she had visited
friends in Atlanta often.
This is Mr.. Wilson's second voyage
in matrimonial seas. His first wife
was the beautiful and clever Rose Ce-
ell O'Neill Latham, whose drawings,
signed simply "ONeill," helped to make
several humorous papers famous. Will
son was the editor of Puck when he
married the artist in 1902 They were
divorced several years later.

Active steps toward the formation of
progressive party, with Theodore
Roosevelt as its standard bearer, were
taken today.
Colonel Roosevelt went into confer
ence shortly after o'clock with repre-
sentatives of nearly all the states, and
upon the results of that conference will
depend the program that will be imme
date followed with reference to the
of a movement for which
a convention will be held during the
first week in August in Denver.
James r. Garfield, who was a mem
Der of what was known as the ten
mis- cabinet" during the last Roosevelt
administration, said this morning as he
went into the conference Of Roosevelt
supporters in the Florentine room at
the Congress hotel:
Mr. Roosevelts name will not go be-
fore the convention today. The plan
for his nomination by the third party
will be made at the conference TO which
am now going. 1t is possible that the
nomination may be made in Chicago
tonight but / am inclined to the view
that it will be deferred until August,
and that Denver will be selected as the
place for its making"

Pendergast
"Didn Know

Just as he left the hotel this morn
ing. William A. Pendergast. who was
selected to nominate Roosevelt, in re-
Spouse to a question, said he did not
know whether the colonel would go be-
fore the convention.
There is much difference Of opinion
among the coloners followers as to the
character Of the movement. Many of
the more earnest Roosevelt workers in
sist that he new party should he formed
merely to meet emergency situations,
and that it is not wise to attempt to
make other than a corrective force.
1t is assured that the meeting of the
new party men will be held in Chicago
before the delegates and politicians
leave for their homes. The present
plan Is to hold this meeting at Orches-
ira hall, or Ia the Roosevelt headquar-
tiers some time tonight
