that secret service and uniformed officers
would be on hand in case OF emergency.

Notwithstanding the contention OF
Thaw's lawyers that Boudreau is not an

are not in the prisoners behalf and that
Thaw has signed sworn statement repu-
dating his intention of seeking damag IS
for false arrest. Boudreau insists that lie
has a right to demand Thaw's liberty and
that in so doing no one gave him advice.

Retailers Deny Their

Retailers in Atlanta are not charg-

few Of them, by the closest possible
management and the most conserva-
tive business methods, are making
money. More are not.

The cost Of doing business, retail. has

MOORE SCORES FREIGHT
RATES; CHARGES FAIL To
EXPLAIN HIGH FOOD COST

~Atfanta+s freight rates are too high
all along the line" says Harry T.
Moore, head Of the Atlanta Freight
Bureau. -and before the Interstate
Commerce Commission now is q case
in which we hope for a favorable de-
eisSon, which will cut practically all
freight rates into the city.
THE rate on -four from Ohio River
points, for instance, is 4s cents bar
rel With this kind Of rate, -four
ought to be cheaper in Chicago than
here"
Some Facts Not Explained.
Adanta's freight rates, however. do
not explain some Of the differences in
tho price Of various commodities
mentioned in the Government stats
tics which tend to prove Atlanta one
of the most expensive cities for the
housekeeper in the United States.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau, for
instance, quotes the rate on fresh
beef as SO cents per 100 pounds from
Chicago to Atlanta This is q combi-
patton of a 17-cent rate to Cincin-
natl, the river crossing, and 46 cents
from the Ohio River to Atlanta.
Range In Butter Peculiar.
Yet the Governments figures show
the average price of sirloin is half
cent higher in Cincinnati than in At
Ianta, and the average price OF round
steak is % cents IN Cincinnati, against
20 cents in Atlanta, Atlanta paying,
be It remembered, something more
than a half cent a pound freight in
excess Of Cincinnati
More peculiar is the range OF price
en- butter. The Government quotes
butter as selling at AZ cents in Gin
cinnati and 40 cents in Atlanta. The
freight rate on butter from Chicago
and the Elgin district TO Atlanta is
s1.33 per hundredweight. To Cincin-
natl it is "a cents Atlanta, then, is
paying almost a cent more in freight
on every pound of butter, and selling
II 2 cents cheaper than Cincinnati,
Getting Less for Meats.
Atlanta, according to the Govern
ment figures, is selling ham cheaper
than Chicago, whence most Of that
meat comes. Yet Atlanta pays As
cent rate on cured meats from Chi
cago. Cincinnati, with a 12-cent rate,
is supposed to be charging Ia cents
more per pound
Examination of the freight rates
actually seems TO show that Atlanta
is getting less for its meats than cit
les with cheaper freights, which only
increases the puzzle.

HOW AMERICANS
ARE TORTURED
IN MEXICO .
Refugees Tell of 0utrages Of the
Rebel Bands That Raid the
Ranches and Homes.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dozen
American refugees who arrived to-
day from Tampico on the steamship
Santiago told of the dangers they es-
capped in Mexico. Mrs. Lillian Con
zales, a widow and a native Of At
lantic City, said she was forced to fee
for her life from San Luis Potosi.
Bands OF rebels threatened my
house." ssid Mrs. Gonzales, land had
to use firearms several times to pro-
tect myself. I do not want to be q
murderess, but I had to fire several
times at bandits who came too near.
The coast towns are quiet, but stories
are coming continually from the in
terror Of outrages committed by the
rebel sodiery."
Bird LagleiB, a former resident OF
New Orleans, who fed from his plan
tation about 100 miles south of Tam
pico, said:
Just before left a neighbor told
me that the man who owns the next
plantation crawled over to his place
to bring word that bandits had broken
into his house the night before, tied
him to a bedpost and maltreated his
wife before his eyes until she died.
After several hours effort he united
himself and went for aid"

and in small bevies from other parts
Of the State, and, in a number of in
stances, from far-distant points
At some Of the schools the students
already diligently are filling the fields
of knowledge as well as planning for
the falls delightful social activities,
which embrace everything from a
clandestine fudge party in one Of the

and dances
Others Of the colleges are still in

Order is just emerging from the in
