AMERICUS PLEASED
WITH BOND PROBE
Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)

Especial Dispatch to The JournaL)
AMERICUS, Ga, Feb. 2S.-Citizens of
Americas and members of city council
are highly gratified that the railroad
commission has conceded the request of
the Americas council to send expert en-
gineers here to determine valuations of
the Americas Lighting company, a pri-
vate corporation.
This company desires to issue we'll nigh
a half million dollar bond security upon
it's plant and property and application
to that end was recently made to the
railroad commission.
The Americas council, as well as con-
sumers generally, regarded such bond
and stock issue excessively large mas
much as the property of said corporation
is returned for taxation at valuation
of only $4,000, and therefore requested
the railroad commission to send engi-
neers here at the city's expense to de-
termine real values.
The decision will accordingly reach the
interested Americas public probably with
in the next fortnight. This solution of
the dispute is regarded with great inter-
est in Atlanta and probably other cities
are apt to have similar cases before
the commission and the course pursued
in this instance may be regarded as a
precedent hereafter.

.BATHTUB INDICTMENTS
SUDDENLY WITHDRAWN
Government Causes Sensation
by Not Pressing Its Five
Principal Cases
tBy Associated Press. J


DETROIT, Feb. 27.-The government
caused a sensation today in it's crimi-
nal suit against the so-called bath tub
trust when, after announcing that the
prosecutions case was closed, Edwin
P. Grosvener, special assistant to At
torney General Wickersham. moved
that the case against five of the de-
PENDANTS be nolle pressed on account of
lack of evidence. The court granted
the motion.
The defendants whose cases were
dropped are c. H. Voegele, president of
the Barnes Manufacturing company, of
Mansfield, Ohio; S. N. Ford, president
of the Humphreys Manufacturing COM
pany, of Mansfield, Ohio; Thomas
Walker, president of McVey & Walker,
of Braddock, Pa; d. w. Davis, secre-
tary of the National Sanitary Manu-
featuring company, of New Jersey, and
e. V Brigham, secretary of the Union
Sanitary Manufacturing company, of
Noblesville, Ind.
The government also requested that
the same order be made in the case
against ]. A. Frauenhelm, president of
the Kernes Manufacturing company, of
Zelienople, Pa, who was put on the
stand by the government, thus making
him subject to immunity. The request
was granted.
Attorney Grosvener stated that the
case against the first five defendants
was discontinued because the court had
ruled that the price contracts entered
into after. June 6, 1910, were not ad-
miSsible as evidence.

A GOOD GAME AT RAT TRAP.

A GOOD GAME AT RAT TRAP.
Set the trap over barrel that
is partly filled with water, fast
en- the falling doors so that they
will not fall and let the rats
run through and around the trap
for several nights-.then pull out
the nail that holds the doors and
you will catch every rat that has
visited the trap.
Two boards 10 inches wide
and two feet long are used for
the sides; one board two feet
long and one foot wide for the
top; two boards 10 inches wide
and one foot and six inches In
length for the bottom or falling
doors.
The falling doors should have
tin fastened on the top side from
where the pivots enter the sides
to the end next to the bait; this
will prevent the sharp claws
clinging to the board and climb
ing back, when the doors fall.
The description by letter is as
follows: A, bait, B b, on the
dotted lines. shows the position
of the falling doors when the
game enters the lower part Of
the trap; 9 c, the entrance to
the trap; ID d, the nails that
serve as pivots for the falling
doors.

the nails that hold the trap I'M

the trap--that which retains the
game after trapping-should be
made of hardwood or should be
lined with roofing-iron or tin.
The bait should be suspended
with a small wire and should
hang within two or three inches
of the floor, or falling doors.
If the trap is neatly made and
fitted out-sO that all parts work
well, there is not the least pos
sible doubt as to the game 1t
