Officials in Atlanta of the Atlanta.
Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad
TUESDAY explained the published an
nouncement of the plans for the re-
organization of a 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 ieopardize
their investments, the Eastern CAPT
talists who hold the bonds prefer to
take over the entire control Of the
road, and will he the most insistent
bidders. It 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-
ors 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

The reorganization plan involves
new figures for capital stock, which
will be a great deal less than the
original capitalization, the difference

bondholders and stockholders be

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
a capitalization Of $27,000,OOO common
stock, S3.2OO,OOO non cumulative pre-
ferred s2.5OO,OOo first and general

POLICY IS
BLAMED
Democratic Attitude Deserving Of
EngIand's Contempt Says
Congressman Humphrey.

WASHINGTON, March 81
Charging that President Wilson
has been made the instrument
to carry out the international
confidence game of England and
Japan" to use the Panama Canal
without American competition,
Representative Humphrey, Re-
publican, of Washington, attack
ed the proposed repeal of the
free tolls exemption clause, in
the House to-day and criticised
the foreign policy of the Admin
istration. He also paid tribute
to Speaker Clark and Majority
Leader Underwood and said
Clark was robbed of the Pres
idency.
He declared that the Democratic
attitude in this instance was deserv.
ing of more contempt than the Eng
lish language can express" and he
put the blame for this state of af-
fairs on the egotistical, laundering,
the hoier than thou policy" which,
he asserted, has been pursued toward
Mexico since President Wilson cama
into power
"PIeads for Reputation"
I'VE have lived" Humphrey de-
clared, ito see the imposing spectacle
of the President of the United States
not asking, but supplicating, the Con-
gress of the United States to direct
ly repudiate a plank of the platform
that ne had especially approved. and
upon which he was elected and one
that brought him thousands of votes.
We have lived to see the inspiring
spectacle of a Secretary of State en-
Enthusiastically applauding the repudi-
alton of the plank in the platform
that he himself wrote by the candi-
date he nominated on it. MIR. Bryan's
opinion of 'embezzlers' at that mo-
ment must have been above par!
ITO any man who knows our great
and beloved Speaker, who knows his
courage his patriotism and his intel
lectual integrity, it is unthnkable that
he should come before the assembled
members Of Congress sand plead that
we should violate his party's platform
and sacrifice his country's interests
to cover up his own mistakes, If he
were President-and by every rule of
fairness and honor he should be Pres
ident to-day.
Clark Robbed Of Presidency.
The people of this country are be-
ginning to realize more and more as
the days go by what this nation has
lost when, by the most supreme exhi-
bition OF human selfishness and in
gratitude in the history of American
politics. Champ Clark was robbed of
the nomination at Baltimore and
prevented from becoming President.
"Who can imagine the calm and
powerful floor leader of the majority,

a platform. then repudiating that
platform and asking Congress to Join
with him in policy of abject sur

other two living men, who made pos

the last election"
