CASE TAKES NEW TURN.
Council Asks Discharge of Former
 Railway President

Bridgeport, Conn, March 12.-Pro- ceedings against Charles Mellen. formerly president of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad. charged with manslaughter as a re- suit of the Westport wreck in 1912. took unexpected turn in the Super for court today when counsel for Mellen entered a motion for the "dis- charge of tine prisoner at the bar.
 States Attorney Judson did not an ticipate this procedure. He was pre- pared to ask Judge Futile for per mission to file a new information against Mir Mellen, this being neces- sary because the court previously had sustained a demurrer that there was insufficient information in the original complaint.
 Judge Futile, alter hearing oual arguments on motion for Mr. Mel lens discharge and for the filing of an amended complaint, ordered briefs filed and announced he would render his ecisiOn next Tuesday.
 Homer s. Cummings, chief counsel for MT Mellen, based his motion for the discharge by asking for formal judgment, on the demurrer sustain ed by the court this week. If this motion is granted it means that Mir. Mellen will not face trial. If it is

COTTON IS SOLD
IN ANERICUS At
The dime Price
Ten Cents Paid Here For
Best Grades

Ten cents seems the established
price for the best grades of cotton just
at this stage, and while Americus buy
ers and warehousemen believe that it
will, ere long, be worth considerable
more, they advise the sale of a limited
portion of the first bales marketed, and
the holding later, of the main portion
of the crop, which will be in very
great demand just as soon as hostilities
in Europe are ended.
Americus warehouses have received
probably $50 bales new cotton to date
and the greater portion of this has
already been sold at ten cents.
In this manner, it is pointed out,
farmers can relieve present pressing
necessities and still, at a later date,
get an advance in price which will
more than average up the first few
bales sold at ten cents. This new cot
ton is green, and will rapidly lose in
weight from twenty to forty pounds ii
stored in warehouses or kept at home
for any great length of time. Even at
ten cents it would seem the part of
good judgment to sell the first new
bales.
Mills all over the South are getting
ready to start up, and these will be in
the market for enough of the new cot
ton to absorb all that will probably be
offered now, the Americus trade be-
lieves.

MEAT PLENTIFUL;
STORAGE HOUSES
HEAVILY STOCKED
EFFORT TO SQUEEZE PRICES
Is Belief of The General
Public

In Americus, as elsewhere, the price
of bulk meat, under the deft manipula-
ton of t.e Meat Trust, continues to
climb higher; not because of any unus-
ual scarcity in the supply of meat, bat
evidently the purpose of the packers to
boost prices still higher. This is the
information coming from the Western
meat centers where the pinch is also
being felt by consumers in the exorbi-
tant prices demanded within the past
few days.
1t is openly charged in Chicago that
packers are storing meat in other To-
calities, not for sale but to create a
scarcity in the meat centers of the
West.
1t is said that one Chicago packing
house has $4,000 pounds bulk pork
stored in its Americus branch ware
house, where most Of it has been for
some time. Other branch houses here
may also be abundantly supplied 1t IS
said that similar conditions exist in
other Georgia cities. The meat is sim
ply being packed away in storage,
while prices are being boosted without
just cause.
1T is evidently the scheme of the
big Western packing houses to hide
But their output, storing it in interior
small towns, and thus creating a seem
ing scarcity" said an Americus merch-
ant yesterday. There is absolutely
not scintilla of reason, or excuse for
this outrage upon the public, this ad-
vance in the price of meat and other
necessities, and l hope that President
Wilson can make it hot for those en-
gaging in it."
1t seems evidently get rich quick"
scheme, and the South is made the
chief sufferer.

SEABOARD WILL
KILL SCHEDULES
THROUGH TRAINS
PASSENGER TRAINS TAKEN OFF
Converted Into Local TraiDs
at End Of Line

The fact that the Seaboard Railway
Co., has practically decided to annul
the schedules of through passenger
trains 13 and ii on this division of
the Seaboard system, as generally
understood in commercial circles here
yesterday, is a matter of genuine re-
gret. This action, it is said, follows
the visit here day or two ago of Mr..
c. B. Ryan of Portsmouth, Va, general
passenger agent of the Seaboard, who
discussed the subject with several cit
liens.
The matter is not entirely new hy
any means, as the Seaboard has had
the annullment of these trains under
consideration for month or two, but
as nothing came of it Americus had
hoped the matter closed.
1t was said yesterday, however, that
the through passenger schedules for
13 and 14-the night trains-would be
taken off in the centre of the system
and converted into local trains on tho
Savannah and Montgomery ends in
stead; giving to each of these cities
an additional morning train covering a
territory of one hundred miles.
For instance, the Montgomery train
would be operated as far as Richland,
Ga, only, returning in the early morn
ing to Montgomery, while on the east
end the other train would be operated
out as far as Helena, 110 miles, re-
turning in the morning to Savannah.
The number of trains, therefore, would
not be reduced, while only that portion
of the system between Richland and
Helena, about 12o miles, would be eff
fected.
Plains Americus, Leslie, Preston,
DeSoto, Cordele and Riehland-au
good towns-are in the intermediate
territory that will be cut off by the an
nulment of these schedules. Besides,
the through travel might be discon-
tinued to very considerable extent.
Aside from depriving Americus of
two important passenger trains daily,
the annulment of these schedules will,
Of necessity, force the removal of sew
eral engineers and conductors from
Americus to the terminal points. Not
few of these people own homes here,
and hardship is thus entailed upon
hem in the enforced removal to ether
places.
