To the President ar Officers of the
Southern Railw Company and
to the PresidenC and Officers of
the Pullman Company:
Whereas, there is a widespread de-
mand, both among the citizens of this
sections and the citizens of other Sec
tions who are accustomed to travel to
and from this city, going North, East,
South and West, that the Pullman car
| service, leaving Greensboro each
morning at one o'clock a. m. and
reaching Raleigh about four o'clock
a. m. and leaving Raleigh each morn
ing at 12:45 a. m. and reaching Green's
boro about 6 o'clock a. M, be extend
ed from Raleigh, N. c. to Goldsboro,
N. G. and;
Whereas, during the summer
months the said Pullman car service
has been extended as far Eastward as
Beaufort, N. G. for the accommodation
of the patrons of the Atlantic Hotel at
Morehead City and Hotels of Beau
fort, N. G. and found profitable, and;
residence of numbers of travelling
statesmen, who make it their headquar-
ters for the sole reason that they can
obtain accommodation better here
than at other points, and;
Whereas, it is the concensus of
opinion of the members of the Colds
boro Chamber of Commerce at a meet
ing regularly held on the 22nd day of
January, 1914, that the stopping of
said Pullman car at Raleigh, N. c. is
failure to afford travelling facilities
to the citizens of Goldsboro and of
the entire Eastern section of North
Carolina and that the extension of
said Pullman car service from Raleigh
to Goldsboro is necessary, Just and
reasonable and that failure to ex-
tend said Pullman car service will be
a wrongful discrimination against the
City of Goldsboro, the County of
Wayne and the entire Eastern section
of North Carolina, and contrary to the
past policy of these companies to af-
ford proper and equal facilities for
the delivering of passengers to and
from their several lines and those
connecting Herewith.
Now Therefore, Be it Resolved:
1. That the Goldsboro Chamber of
Commerce petition the president and
officers of the Southern Railway Com
pany and the President and officers of
the Pullman Company for the extern
sion of said Pullman car service be-
tween Raleigh and Goldsboro
2. That copies of this resolution
be mailed to the President of the
Southern Railway Company and to
the president of the Pullman Com
pany.
Dated this 22nd day of Jan. 1914.

Lanford Blocked in
Attempt to Arrest
Alleged 'Bootlegger'

Chief of Detectives Newport Ian
ford was blocked Wednesday in his
move to get warrant for W. G.
Jones. his principal witness in the
cases against seven locker clubs in
Atlanta which are charged with SELL
ing liquor illegally.
Chief Lanford sent Detective Pat
rick to get warrant in the municipal
court charging Jones with selling
liquor. The sale was represented to
have taken place in Jones receipt of
money from the detectives, going into
the clubs and buying liquor and then
turning 1t over to the detectives.
Judge Rosser held that Jones merely
acted as agent for the detectives and
did not actually sell it. He refused
on this ground to issue the warrant.
Lanford said that he would go be-
fore the Grand Jury and get an in
dictment against Jones on this
charge. He admitted that Jones was
the PRINCIPAL witness in the prose-
cution, but declared that the cases
would not fall down if Jones could
not be reached. Jones formerly was
manager for the Southern Club,
which was discontinued because of
the activity of the police department.

PLANT AGAIN
FOR JOBS
Unemployed Men Wait All Night
for Places in Ford Profit
Sharing Factory.

DETROIT, Jan. Long lines OF
unemployed men stretched out from
the plant Of the Ford Motor Car
Company early to-day, and % police
men guarded the approach to the
employment bureau Of the corpora
ton to prevent repetition of the
scenes which were enacted Tuesday
when 10000 jobless men seeking en-
ployment at minimum wage of S.
day." stormed the plant and were
driven away only by the use of clubs
and the display of lines of fire hose.
At 10 a. m the mob had reached
greater proportions than on Tuesday
and the police were battling desper-
ately to maintain order. fearing that
scores would be crushed If the crowd
got beyond control Scores of women
were sprinkled among the jobless, d
feature which did not mark the as
sembling of the unemployed Tuesday
There were more than 10000 in the
crowd, il was estimated.
This afternoon the men still held
the plant in siege, Many brought
stools and camped out, eating their
noon meal from nails.
Wait in Cold All Night.
The thousands of men who, un-
willing to lose their chance of being
first in line this morning, had rolled
up in blankets on the frozen vacant
spaces adjacent to the plant and
warmed by big bonfires kindled early
last evening. or had slept in the open,
arose and took their places as neal
the entrance OF the factory as the
police lines would permit Wives and
sweethearts appeared early with cof-
fee and sandwiches for the tired-out
husbands and lovers, and pushcart
merchants did a thriving business.
AS dawn broke hundreds alighted
from the car lines that led to De-
troit's greatest factory, and at 6
o'clock, when those who made up the
early shifts began to arrive, Manches-
ter and Woodward avenues were
thronged with old and young, black
and white.
The officials of the company gave
no intimation as to their intention of
hiring all or a part of the increase Of
1000 men made necessary by their
decision to cut the working day from
nine to eight hours.

They had announced that this num-
Der of men would be needed to oper-
ate the plant "a hours a day, and
that they would be able to supply I'll

Local Financiers in Fight for Re-

Central Georgia.

The campaign to get for Atlanta
one of the big regional banks under
the new currency law was greatly
advanced Wednesday by the formal
communication of the report to the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce that
both Columbus and Macon were lined
up for active support Of Atlanta.
The Columbus Clearing House
adopted resolutions, forwarding
copy to the Atlanta Chamber of Com
MERGE and the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, the Comptroller of the Curren-
oy and the Reserve Bank Organiza-
Non Committee at Washington.
In his letter, accompanying the
resolutions, G. Gunby Jordan, presi
dent Of the Columbus Clearing House

was adopted unanimously at the
clearing house meeting held that day
In Columbus, and adds:
All Banks to Join Reserve.

The preamble sets forth the terms
of the new law and then takes up
list of Atlanta's qualifications for

The great accessibility which
atlanta has on account of being
served by very many railroads,
and quick and numerous trains.
Its rapid and substantial
growth, large population and in
rreasing tax values.
It's increasing bank clearings,
which far exceeds those of any

business that Is constantly being
done between the two cities.

ADJUSTED
GUARDS
Fight for Discharged Penitentiary
Attaches Carried Before Civil
Service Board.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THAT the
Department of Justice will be forced
to make genuine investigation CT
tie administration of the Federal
Prison at Atlanta seems inevitable to-
day, following the renewed activities
of Congressman William Schley
Howard. who has now drawn into the
controversy another branch of the
Government-the Civil Service Com
mission.
Tie Georgian correspondent is able
to state that the Attorney General
has taken official cognizance of the
Howard charges and made inquiries
concerning the papers lef1 by the
Georgia Congressman with Assistant
Attorney General Graham. In con-
sersation, with. newspaper men. the
Attorney General said the department
had no desire TO avoid an investiga-
ton If the statements filed showed
such a need.
simultaneously NJ. Howard pro-
'csted to the Civil Service Commits
sion regarding what he terms the I'M
justified discharge of FIVE prison
guards by War en- Meyer. 1t now Is
virtually assured that Att -rney Gen
eral McReynolds himself entual.y
will pass on the Howard charges and
The prospects for probe by the de-
partment are brighter
Still Has CONGRESS To Go To.
In the event of the refusal of the
department to investigate, Mr.. How
ard still has recourse to the House
of Representatives He deferred his
House resolution of inquiry upon the
advice of Democratic leaders, who
held that the department. was entitled
10 the courtesy of chance to set its
own institution in order without inter
ference from the legislative branch OF
the Government.
The Georgia member contends that
conditions at the Atlanta Peniten-
tiary are such that he will ask the
House to act If the Department Of
Justice delays further.
The accusations Of Julian Haw-
thorne relative to the Atlanta insti-
tuition are incidental to the charges
filed by Congressman Howard. In an
interview to-day, Mr.. Howard said:
IN dealing with the great penal
institution like the Atlanta Peniten-
tiary statements as TO its condition
should be conservatively made, and
efforts at reformation of any irresu-
larities that may exist should be APP
preached with much caution.
No Desire to Make Martyrs.
without any desire to lead those
incarcerated In the Federal Prison ct
Atlanta to believe that t is my inten-
ton to make martyrs or heroes out of
them, have submitted to the Depart
ment Of Justice, at the request of one
of the assistant attorneys general,
such allegations as have been made 10
me personally ,. guards, ex-guar3s
and ex- prisoners, and by certain citi-
zens in the city Of atlanta, together
with interviews contained in the At
lanta papers,
To Offset these allegations. certain
newspaper articles and statements Of
citizens Of Atlanta are filed testifying
that these allegations are not well
founded, Congressman Howard's let
ter to the Civil Service Commission
calls attention to the cases of NJ. r.
