OF TRADE FAILED TO
AGREE AT MEETING YES
TERDAY MORNING
LENGTHY SESSION WAS HELD
Motion to Agree to Allow Road to
Take OFF Two Trains Was Lost BY
Two Votes-Committee to Report
On July 18th.

by he very narrow margin of two
votes, the Board of Trade yesterday
after a two hours session, refused to
permit the A. r. & A. Railroad to
withdraw trains numbers 8 and 10
from its Brunswick-Thalm service.
General Passenger Agent w. w. Crox-
toni representing the company, was
present at the meeting and stated the
position Of the management
The public is familiar with the fl
nancial vicissitudes which have con-
fronted the company. and which seem
to have grown worse. 1t shows that
it is actually losing some twenty
three cents per train mile on the two
trains operated, which in dollars and
cents amounts to $40 per day Mr..
CroXton discussed the situation from
that point of view and on the show
ing made asked that Brunswick join
the company in the request to the
Railroad commission for a permit to
remove the trains.
The discussion took very wide
range and a times was only remote
ly touching on the subject. Most of
the members of the Beard of Trade
who were present seemed to be load
ed with speeches and some of them
made as many as three efforts to de-
liver them. Two full hours were de-
voted to the question and on the vote
to give the requested permission, the
motion failed by a vote of 13 to IL.
A motion then prevailed that the en-
tire matter be referred to a commit
tee of five members of the board of
trade, who must report their findings
ETC., back to the meeting of that Or
ganization to be held ON July IA.
President Twitty later in the after
noon appointed the following commit

Amdng those who addressed the
meeting yesterday against the prop
osition were Albert Fendig. e II. Ma

ty; those who made talks in favor of
granting the request of the company
were Joseph w. Bennett, F. D. All
ken, George Fl. Smith, w. B. Cook,
and G. II. Leavy. Various plans were
suggested by the members to obviate
the disturbance Of the present sched.
'ules and at the same time meet the
views of the company along the line
OF retrenchment. Mr.. Fendig suggest
ed that the city Of Brunswick might
give the general officers of the com
pany free rents, If they should move
their general Offices from Atlanta to
Brunswick, which he said would save
them considerable money. He also
suggested some sort Of a Beach
car arrangement to take the place
of the regular trains 9 and 10 and
which could be operated. at very

STRIKERS shot each other down,
| furnished basis for such talk by
these speakers. The two events
! first brought to general notice
Sweet Marie" GAM, Reba Edel-
son, Gussie Miller, and other
girls who follow Emma Gold
man, Alexander Berkman, wild
Joe" O'Carroll, who led the
church riots, and the teachers at
the Ferrer School of Anarchy.
Sweet Marie" GAM, by the
way, was so named in irony, by
the police because of her foul
tongue when harrangueing
mobs. Besides threatening to
kill John d. Rockefeller, Jr., on
sight, the CAM girl cursed and
blasphemed, hurled vile epithets
at men or women in the crowd
who annoyed he rby jeering or
asking her questions, and made
herself generally the very oppo-
site of the name the police gave
her.
Marie is a pink and white COM
plexioned girl of %. Her figure
is of the voluptuous tpye and
her eyes and mouth are extreme
ly sensuous. IF she did not fol-
low too closely the habits of
Emma Goldman in dressing she
would make rather an attractive
girl. Women critics might say
that Marie's figure is sloppy or
inclining to fat.
The Edelson girl, who they say
is extremely jealous Of Marie be-
cause of the latter's ability to
pull the limit and get away with
it, until she was finally jailed
for so days for threats, was
thrown into Tombs cell after
causing a riot by her exhorta-
tions. Reba, or Becky, as she
prefers to be called, is very nice
looking. She is slight and ex-
ceedingly well proportional and
is very tidy in her dress. Maybe
that's the reason Marie doesn't
get along well with Reba. All
these women call themselves
"Red Virgins" and 'sRed An
gels''. The police say it ought
to be "Black Angels.
