Asks for Writ to
Stop Her Husband
From Telephoning

A curious and unusual plea was
made by Mrs. Amelia Wise Harris
wife of a commission merchant for
merlv we'll known in Atlanta, Tues
dav in a petition for divorce filed
with the Superior Court
Mrs. Harris asks nothing more or
less than that the legal machinery OF
the State be put in motion to prevent
her husband calling her up over the
telephone. She wants an injunction
restraining him.
In support of the unusual request
Mrs. Harris. through her lawyers
Mcclellan g. Mcclellan, recites
rather affecting story of marital trou-
bles. She says she was married TO
Harris in January, 1907, at Eureka
Springs. Ark. and that within few
months after the nuptial ceremonies
Harris was abusing her so that she
was soon a physical wreck.
Harris, who was a member OF the
commission firm of the Harris Emery
Company. now out of business, and
who is at present located in New Or
leans. is accused of having squan-
dered $1,000 of his wife's money.
Threatened Over Phone.
The wife says she has heard that
her husband is about to inherit some
mining stock, and asks the right to
amend her petition to cover that de-
velopment. She declares that she is
in mortal fear of her husband.
He calls me up over the phone and
threatens me with physical punish
ment," says the petition in effect
and l am afraid he will come and
modest me-
So troubled is she by these tele-
phone calls that she asks for an in
junction. She also wants total dL
vorce and alimony

NEW PLAN ON
To REVIVE
A., B. & A.
BondhoIders to Buy in Railroad
at Auction Sale on
April y,

| Ofhcials in Atlanta Of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
Tuesday explained the published an
nouncement of the plans for the re-
organization OF new company to be
known as the Georgia, Alabama and
Western Railway Company, declaring
that the plans were merely tentative,
and would go into effect only if the
present bondholders of the road, rep
resented mainly by the Old Colony
Trust Company of Boston, obtained
possession at the public auction sale
April %.
The road. under an order by the
United States Court, will be sold at
] public cutlery. having been declared
insolvent. Rather than jeopardize
their investments, the Eastern CAPT
! talists who hold the bonds prefer to
! take over the entire control Of the
road, and will be the most insistent
{ bidders 1t is the general belief in
/ financial circles that their bid will be
successful unless too strenuous OPP
position develops from the Louisville
and Nashville interests, which, ru-
NOR asserts, have cast an envious eye
! toward the A. B. and A.
Few Changes Expected.
Local employees Of the road are
confident that the present bondhold-
ers will retain control, and therefore
anticipate no changes in the opera
ton, methods or working force to
follow the public sale. There will be,
of course, a great task in revising
stationery, tickets, tariff schedules
and the minor technical details to fit
the change Of name, but that will be
all.
The reorganization plan involves
new figures for capital stock which
will be a great deal less than the
original capitalization, the difference
to represent the loss in value to the
bondholders and stockholders be-
cause of the insolvency. The new fig
ures are such that the earnings Of the
road will be adequate to pay all in
terest obligations
To Start Out Anew.
The receivership will be eliminated
upon sale of the road, and the insti-
tuition will be given a new lease on
life as a solvent, substantial self
governing concern.
The new company. If the plans Of
the bondholders materialize, will have
capitalization of $4,000 900 common
stock. 100000 nom cumulative pre-
ferred. S2,5oo,oOO first and general
mortgage 3O-year gold bonds, and ST.
100000 in equipment trust notes.
A number of minor details of the
reorganization scheme are not yet in
the hands of the local officials but
will reach Receiver z. T. Lamb, II Is
expected. within a few days

Chorus Girls Offer
ToDance in Court Is
Rejected by Broyles

Mildred Kelly. who adorns the front
row in the chorus of a local theater,
Tuesday offered to show Recorder
Broyles in court how she danced the
right before to prove that Investi-
gator Ed Arthur's charges against her
grew out Of puritsncal prejudice.
The police censor had declared her
dance nearly as bad as the famous
gyrations that startled Herod some
time ago, and entirely too risque for
an Atlanta audience.
Miss Kelly's offer failed to impress
Judge Broyles. who was greatly
shocked by Arthur's recital, and fined
the young woman $50. The next time
it will be Jail" said the Recorder.

INDIAN TREATY CLOSES
MINNESOTA SALOONS

Bemidjl, Mimi. Nov 2S-lundreds
Of saloon keepers in the entire north
orn section of Minnesota Will lock
their doors tonight, never to reopen.
For the government has announced,
through the Indian bureau, that 1t will
crimlnally prosecute all dealers doing
business IN the territory embraced by
the Treaty of 1855. The beginning OF
the end was seen two years ago. when
the government first ordered the sa-
looms to close up. But stay was Sc.
cured by an injunction secured by
Bemidji saloon keepers. But no fur
ther resistance VIII he offered to the
ban OF Uncle Sam on John Bareycorn.
The only exception to be made Is for
druggists TO serve liquor on prescrip.
ton, and that loop-hole will be closely
" Watched by government officers.
The section ceded to the United
States by the Indians, under condition
that liquor never be sold in the terri
tory, sweeps almost the entire state
of Minnesota from east to west, and
extends almost from the Candaian
border, taking In part OF Minneapo
lis and ST. Paul
