sEABOARD FINED 100000
Pleaded Guilty in United States Dis
trict Court to Violations OF Inter-
state Commerce Acts.

MACON, Cain the United States
district court yesterday the Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company, indicted
on thirteen counts for violation of
the interstate commerce commission
act to regulate comncrce, entered
pleas of guilty to two of the counts
and was fined $1,000 on each by
Judge w. B. Shepherd, after which
the district attorney mol pressed the
remaining eleven counts in the in
dictment.
The Indictment was based on the
allegation that the Seaboard had ac-
cepted concessions from the South
ern railway on shipments of bitumi-
nous coal from Briceville and Oliver
Springs, Tenn, to Williams, Ca, be-
tween those points a joint rate of
$2.45 a ton prevailed, the Southern
Railway bringing The shipments from
Tennessee to Helena, Ga, where they
were turned over to the Seaboard to
be transported to Williams. Instead
of taking the coal on to Williams
it was alleged in the indictment that
the SeabOard paid the Southern rail-
way its pro rata share of the rate,
or $136 a ton, and did not take the
coal on to Williams.

$500 YEAR OLD MORTGAGE
Used as a Guide by President MARK
ham of Illinois Central in Pre-
na,,iuo a Document.

CHTCAGO.-It was recently an
nounced by President Charles w.
Markham that the Illinois Central
contemplated the execution OF a
mortgage for $120000,0OO for bet
terments and to repair food damage
and now he has on his desk as d
gentle guide in the preparation OF
the necessary documents a transla-
ton of the Oldest real estate mort
gage in the world, dating back 2,345
years-a first mortgage on an orch-
ard in Babylon, given to secure a
loan made by the Marashu family OF
bankers, which in its day financed
all the big deals of Babylon, includ-
ing those of the king
A photograph of the tablets bear
ing the mortgage, with the transla-
ton. was received by President
Markham, accompanied by a note
from S. Straus, a Chicago banker, as
IAN appropriate companion" to the
S12O.O00.0O0 mortgage, one of the
high points of modern financing. The
tablets were found in 1898 in the
ruins of Nippur, one of the old cities
of Babylon.
There was nothing on the tablets
to indicate whether the mortgage
had been paid. The mortgage was
given in the thirty-fourth year of the
reign of King Artaxerxes l, by Bel
Bullitsu and Sha Nahu Shun, sons OF
Kiebti, to Bey Nadin Shun, son OF
Marashu. If it hasn't been redeemed
there is an enormous amount of ac-
crred interest on the principal, which
was thirty bushels of dates, for which
the mortgagors pledged their orch

Cold Rain Falls.
Already overburdened victims of
the waters were compelled to suffer
again in cold smarting rain. Fire
destroyed the block bounded by Sec

and St. Clair streets. In the block
were the Fourth National Bank, Latti-
man Drug company and several COM
nilsson houses.
1t was impossible to ascertain even
approximately the number of persons
who might have been marooned in this
section, and who died after being
| trapped by flood and fire.
Flames Add Terror.
The flames cast red, weird glow
| over the food-stricken city that added
to the fears of thousands of refugees

many of the waters prisoners in
burned buildings.
BeskeI House Not Burned.
It was impossible to approach with
in q couple of blocks of the fire zone
! in the canoe, but there appeared every
indication that the Beckel house had
not been burned and that the fire had
been confined to the blocks beyond
Jefferson and Third streets.
Loss 100000.
Tentative figures placed Dayton's
loss at $25,00O,000 These estimates
were made by persons who had ex-
plored part of the flood area. Several
estimates set the loss at higher fig.
ure, but others agreed on $25, OO0, 900
