BANK CRACKSMEN
TRY FOR $4,000
Attempt Made to Blow Safe Of
Smyrna Institution Fails.
Two Charges Fired.

A determined attempt to blow open
the vault of the Bank of Smyrna. fif-
teen miles north of Atlanta, was made
early Wednesday morning At least
two big charges of nitroglycerine We're
fired, but the door resisted, and the
cracksmen departed, leaving about
$2O,O 900 in cash safely reposing in a
screw-door safe within the vault.
I'VE really were in no danger OF
losing the money" J. d. Corn. cashier,
said over the long distance telephone.
They never could have got into that
safe. even had they blown open the
vault door. They have caused US a
good deal of inconvenience, as the
door is so bent and jammed by the
explosions that we can't get it open
We have sent to Atlanta for an eN-
pert safe man to come up and let US
in to our money
air Corn added that the damage
was apparently slight and was fully
covered by insurance
Although neighbors were sleeping
within $50 feet of the bank, at the
corner of Atlanta street and Ireland
avenue no one heard the explosions.
Three strange men were seen in the
town Tuesday night, lounging around
the Western and Atlantic Railroad
station: in fact. the boy VINO worked

AbrIdslne the Laws Delays

When the Supreme court of the
United States adjourned for July. and
August, it left but IA cases undecided.
1t gave out sol judgments since last
fall. There has been a popular inn
preston that the court was slow, but
this record indicates that the move
ment abridgng the laws delays is
bearing fruit
To the lawyer, legal delays are pat
of the days work. The fact that
clients case has gone over 10 anoth-
er court term does not bother him.
He may rather rejoice at the post
ponement, as giving him more chance
to collect winning evidence. Also 1t
gives the other side chance to PEI
feet their game.
To the business man, however, liti-
cation is most harassing interrup-
ton, The losses are not measured
simply in adverse judgments and
fees of lawyers and sheriffs. Equally
serious are the IVORY aud uncertain
ty of the thing.
Once the business man crosses the
threshold of the court, he feels
ground through a machine whose fore
es he can not calculate. nor can he &C
tolerate its progress. The only way
to effect it is to throw sand into the
cogs and cause a stoppage. A day in
court worries the average merchant
or manufacturer more than weeks of
ordinary business grind.
The business man simply can't un-
derstand why court work needs TO
drag along so Unfortunately. If the
spirit of the business void were to
prevail, no case would remain finally
uniudged a year.
One of the causes of depressed bust
ness is no doubt the LONE time it is
taking to clean up the Sherman anti
trust law cases now pending in the
various courts. 1t is good news that
the Supreme court, perhaps feeling
| the criticism of the laws delays pro-
| ceeding from the best legal authori-
ties as well as from the business
world, is making serious effort to ex

POWER FOR PANAMA
How Electricity is Produced from
Waste Waters of Gatun Lake

Electricity for the Panama Canal
is secured frcm the waters OF the ca
nal itself. The surplus water Of Ca

ships, for operating the locks, for
light and power purposes.
The tremendous water storage in
the artificial Gatun Lake, fed by he

So feet above the oceans, and pro-
yides water for raising and lowering
them gently through the Gatun, Pc

it also has afforded an excellent OPP
portunity to generate electric cur
rent for lighting the canal, for ope at
ing the gigantic gates and other lock-
ing machinery, and for the locomo
tivcs which tow the ships through the
locks.
Electric current will likewise be us

ends of the canal, TO, machine shops,
