Mayor Wants Plaza
Bonds in Small Sums

Mayor Woodward declared Monday
that efforts soon would be begun to ar
range for beginning work on the pro-
posed plaza over the railroad tracks by
the first of next year. He said he
hoped the General Assembly this sum-
mer would authorize the building OF the
plaza during the present lease of the
Western and Atlantic.
when we go to issue bonds for that
project !, think they should be in small
enough denominations for the working
people of the city TO invest in them
said the Mayor. I'VE might make them
as small as $40 each. With the bonds
sold at home we would keep the inter-
est here"

Merchants and citizens in East At
Internationally the merchants
are thoroughly aroused over the lack
of police protection in that district,
as shown in the sixth attack by bur
glars since Christmas on the Wag-
goner & Waldrop stores. The last eff
fort was a successful safe blowing
early Sunday morning which netted
the thieves $50.
II was the Waggoner & Waldrop

thieves at their store near the Atlanta

ago last Thursday and killed one boy

heavy buckshot loads from shot

The latest attack was on the up
town store in the heart of East At

Bames Scarcity Of Police.
There was nothing to show that
the safe cracking was spite work or
in revenge for the shooting at our
railroad store" said G. II. Waggoner.
1T was just a clean job, made easy by
the scarcity of police in this terri
tory. Neighbors heard the explosion
about lis Sunday morning. 1t was
nearly o'clock when the police dis
covered what had happened and no.

The cracksmen evidently had plen-

entered through the front door, pry-
ing out and breaking a glass panel,
right on the sidewalk. The other
door had been broken through the

was clearly blown, the books being
undisturbed. The cash drawer was
found about two blocks away.
We simply haven't the protec-
tion,' Mr.. Waggoner stated. I'VE are

our stores-and they've been entered

tary OF State Bryan to-day cabled to
Ambassador Walter Hines Page at

speech relative to the Monroe doc
trine and the Panama Canal.
The Secretary also cabled the text
of the Senate resolution requesting
an official report on the speech to de
termne whether The Ambassador was
correctly quoted in accounts of his
address. which stated that Mr. Page
declared that the Monroe doctrine
simply meant that the United States
would prefer that no European Gov
eminent gain more land in the New
World" ana that It was - pleasure to
the United States to know that the
British would profit most by the use
of the Panama Canal"
II was stated to- dav by persons
close to the President that Ambassa :
dor Page viii be requested pointedly
to refrain from such indiscreet utter
ances in the future, although he will
not be reprimanded by the President
1t is recognized that Mr. Pages ad
dress has placed the Administra ton
in an embarrassing position in con-
neCtion with the Presidents fight for
the repeal of the tolls exemption
clause in the Panama Canal act. He
has furnished ammunition to the OPP
position to the repeal Of which they
are taking advantage. The Ambas-
sailors address is regarded here as
being in the worst possible taste in
the present stage of Anglo American
rela tons.
