POLICEMEN FIGHT
MAD DOG FROM
STREET CAR
Attacked, Take Refuge on a
TrOIley-BeaSt Killed in Four
Blocks of Battle.

Police, street car employees and two
railroad detectives. aboard a moving
trolley car as a barricade, early today
fought running battle with mad dog
in Marietta street, near Jones avenue,
fully 80 shots being fired through win
dOws and from the platforms before
the dog was killed.
Amid the fustllade of bullets, the
maddened animal, foaming at the
mouth and snarling, chased the troll
ley car distance Of four blocks, leap
ing high in the air in it's frenzied eff
forts to board the car and attack it's
assailants.
When it finally fell dead in the street
II was literally shot to pieces.
The spectacular early morning hat
he, as the crack Of the revolvers rang
out through the stiffness, created in
tense excitement. Persons in the vi
cfnity, rudely awakened. thought a riot
had broken out.
The fight from the car followed an
attack by the dos on Policemen J. c.
AslSew and Byron Benson, who leaped
onto the passing car. The officers dis
covered the dog al Marietta street and
Jones avenue, and, convinced that 1t
was mad, opened fire. AS they did.
the dog, although shot through the
body viciously attacked them,
Bullets didn't seem to feaze 1t, and
1t only fought more ferociously. An
incoming car. with a number Of street
railway employees and two railroad
detectives, passed and the two officers
leaped onto it,
The wounded dog followed. The mo-
torman speeded up his car, but the dog
leaving a trail of blood, ran faster
Pistols were showed through windows
and bristled from the platforms, pep
pering lead at the pursuing canine and
giving the car the appearance of an i'm
provised battleship.
When the bombardment had been
kept UP for four blocks, the savage dog
rtddled and its bones broken to bits
fell in its tracks.
According to the police, Atlanta is in
the throes of an epidemic of hydropho-
hs. During the past few days scores
OF dogs have been shot to death. Only
a few persons have been bitten, but
many other dogs and cows have been
attacked.

PRICES Of FOOD
READY To SOAR
Increase in Cost of Meat and
Cold Storage Products
Expected Soon.

That well known Atlanta gentleman

and get a wrinkle. The message comes
to him today that dealers IN necessities
of life are fearful of a considerable 10
crease in the retail price Of meat and
cold storage products that viii be felt
as early as next week.
The ominous prophecy is drawn from
a steady increase in the Wholesale

been pinching the middleman IN his
effort to maintain something like tina
old scale of retail prices. The pinch

MEXICAN PEACE
NEAR -TUPPER

DR.. Henry Allen Upper, who went
to Mexico to help establish peace, is
back in Atlanta today on his way to
New York. having been narrowly
missed by Mexican bullets, chased with
a member of Huerta's cabinet for sew
eral miles by a band of Madero sym
pathizers and otherwise entertained
during his stay. But he left this aft
ernoon for Washington and New York
to report TO woodrow Wilson and the
international Peace forum that peace
and quiet are in sight in Mexico and a
stable constitutional governthentisp pos
sfbe within the year.
DR.. Upper passed through Atlanta
several weeks ago on his way to the
revolutionary center. hoping to have a
chat with the power which might hap
pen to be when he arrived and settle
things out of hand. He didn't quite
do that. but he did have conferences
with dignitaries on all sides and came
away convinced that peace, even in
Mexico, is not impossible.
Il was a guest on the private car
of Senior de la Fuente. one of the
new cabinet" said DR. Upper today
I'VE were at the town of Santa Rosa
lie when a band of Madero volunteers
fred on the car. The skirmish grew
into a regular battle. Cannon were
brought into play and for a while
things looked very warlike. Senior
de la Fuente gave me the first shell
fired as a souvenir of my peace am
bassadorship.
Il had talk with General Pascual
Orozco. who laid down five points
of an agreement he was willing to
make. He insisted that the soldiers
be paid their back wages, the widows
and orphans be pensioned and the
agrarian land system be put into eff
feet. Those were the principal points.
MY plan is to ask all sides to stop
fighting and take a rest, which will
hurt nobody. Then experts on consti-
tutional government can be called In
and a government provided which viii
suit the people. This might be done in
a year, and the present provisional
government will remain in power until
then. Felix Diaz. nephew of the old
dictator, probably viii become the next
president l don't think old Porfirio
Diaz will ever head the nation again"

tween the Santa ne, Salt Lake ana
Rock Island lines over the announce
ment that the former has changed
the running time of its overland train
No. , to a schedule of sc IL hours
between San Bernardino and Chicago.
The Santa Fe officials decided to
slice IL hours from the time of
No. 2, running between this city and
Chicago This would give this train
a &C - hour schedule between the
two cities. II is time equally as fast
as the time made by the limiteds of
the santa Fe, Rock Island and salt
Lake under the new schedule adopted
recently.
Now that the Santa Zee has short
ened the schedule Of No. 2, it is
known in railway circles that the
Rock Island viii follow suit and cut
the time of No. on that road. When
the salt Lake hears Of the Santa Fe
change cut viii be Forthcoming on

The original speed war between
the three railroads started a short
time ago when the salt Lake decided
to consume only G8 t-2 hours in it's

geles to Chicago. The former time
was II hours. The Rock Island and
Santa re also operated their Pacific
Coast Great Lakes trains, the Golden
State limited and the California linn
tied, in II hours Following the lead
Of the Salt Lake, the Rock Island
whitfield $50 minutes from the Golden
State limited time, Then came the
Santa Fe cut at the annual fall time

The Santa Fe, however, brought a
new gun into play At the meeting
of the officials in Topeka, it was de-
clded to run No. to Chicago In 6S IL

this schedule il cut Topeka from her
visiting list and routed the train over
the cutoff from Emporia east.
The Rock Island officials, upon
hearing Of the late move, called a
meeting hurriedly and in a few days
this line will be able to send it's No,
! into Chicago in q schedule equal to
4 that OF the Santa Fe
