Warrior, with a distinguished party
on board, went aground off the coast
of Colombia on Monday, to-day sent
the following story of the accident by
wireless from the steamship Almi-
rante:
1.-THE Warrior grounded about 5
o'clock on the morning of January
20, and twelve hours later the steam
err Fruitera came up. 1t was too
rough for a transfer in small boats,
so the Fruitera stood by us all night.
On Tuesday morning the Almirante
arrived. and both vessels launched
lifeboats at dawn.
"A high wind was blowing and
the sea was rough, and one of the
lifeboats capsiZed, but all hands were
saved. BY 10 o'clock the sea was
calm enough for us to be transferred,
but the officers and crew of the War
rior elected to remain on board. There
is a good chance of saving the yacht"

MOVEMENT
Declares States Untitled Acres
Need Thrifty Germans-En-
thusiastic Meeting Held.

The aid of Mayor James G.. Wood
ward in the work OF bringing German
colonists to Georgia and establishing
them on truck farms near the cities
was pledged Wednesday afternoon at
the monthly luncheon of the Georgia
German Colonists' Protective Asso-
citation at the German Cafe.
We can not bring a higher class
OF people into the State, nor a people
with higher ideals of honesty and pa
triCtism than the German immigrants
who come to this country" said the
Mayor. They are hard workers and
good workers, and the millions of
waste acres of land in Georgia would
be greatly benefited by the presence
of German colonists.
Both as Mayor of the city of At
lanta and as a private citizen,
pledge my support to the movement,
and will do all I can to make the as
ISOLATION and its work successful"
Wednesdays gathering was the first
the association has held since its
formation in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms more than month ago,
and was the first of a series of
monthly luncheons of the officers and
the advisory board, which will be held
to talk over conditions and exchange
ideas to further the work.
1t is the purpose of the association,
which is composed of score or more
of the prominent German citizens Of
Atlanta and Georgia. to inaugurate a
campaign to bring Georgia to the at
tention of German colonists, and en-
deavor to bring immigrants from the
Fatherland here and establish them
on farms, especially on small truck
farms.

SAYS SPIRIT Of
FORT HAUNTED
HIS OFFICE
Sister of Dead Lawyer Testi6es
as to Statements to Her by
Stenographer.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 29.--Heirs
of Colonel Tomlinson Fort, in the
suit brought by his stenographer,
Miss Lizzie H. Carroll, to gain pos
session of the bulk Of the 100000
Fort estate, to-day attacked the
credibility of Miss Carroll by testi-
mony to the effect that she had been
greatly frightened by the frequent re-
turn of Colonel Forts spirit to his
law office here.
Mrs. Francis Fort Brown, sister of
the late Colonel Fort and widow of
the late julius Brown, of Atlanta,
testified that Miss Carroll said she
was Nearly scared to death" by the
Coloners spirit which she said de-
clared she was mot trying to carry
out his expressed wishes" Mrs.
Brown testified that she herself was a
Swedenbergian, but that Colonel Fort
was a spiritualist.
Arthur Cottington, Assistant Unit
ed States District Attorney of the
Southern District of Georgia and for
mer private secretary to Federal
Judge Emory Speer, told of a visit he

GREATEST / YEAR
IS PREDICTION
Of MADDOX
Banker, in Sunshine" Talk, De-
cIares Business Will Assume
Enormous Proportions.

When it comes to a matter of sun
shine in Atlanta, Robert F. Maddox,
vice president Of the American Ma
ti5naI Bank, has a brand new idea for
the Sunshine Club"
Atlanta is 1850 feet above sea
level" Mr.. Maddox said. 1T is a
city set on HILL you might say. 1t
is away up in the air. And that is
the kind of city that catches the rays
NJ the rising sun first and holds them
longest.
"As to the rising sun Of prosperity,
the same holds good. I maintain that
this elevation of Atlanta is a practi-
cal and not only theoretical. ad-
vantage. OF all the cities of At
lantas size or larger, only Denver is
higher up in the air.
Il really believe the famous At
larta spirit first originated in the
finer and more bracing air of At
lanta, as compared to its rival cities.
Nearly all the big cities of the coun-
try are sea-level cities, or not much
above it, being situated on some>coast
or large river.
Now, about the rising sun of pros
perty.
For the last twelve months every
thing has been sort Of holding its
breath. Nothing could stop our great
cotton crop, of course. That was a
natural development. But business
was waiting on the outcome of the
tariff and currency legislation, and
also wondering how it would work
after being made into laws.
ut was depressing at the time. But
I think it taught all of us a good
lesson-the lesson Of conservatism.
and no more big legislation is hanging
fire. there is bound to be general
uncovering. The banks are well
stocked with money. They will be
ready to lend it. Merchants will use
the money and increase their stocks.
Manufacturers will use the money
and make contracts for more raw
material. The railroads will have
more to haul.
1T is going to be a great year,
and Georgia and Atlanta are in for
their full share. But l believe the
hard lessons of experience will pre-
vent anything like a boom. Business
will grow immensely, but 1t will grow
safely and normally. a.
For Freight Rate Increase.
Only one little barrier remains be-
tween perfect quiet and the COM
merce of the country. That is the
pending decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the appeal
of the Eastern railroads to allow an
increased scale of freight rates. That
decision will also affect all the rail-
roads, of course. Personally, l be-
leve it ought to be granted.
The operating expense Of railroads
has increased much faster than the
gross earnings. The gross earnings
are larger than formerly, but the
margin of net profit is much smaller.
It is a vital matter with many big
railroads, and, of course, it has ire
mendous influence on their capacity
10 serve their territory.
But here in Atlanta, and here
in Georgia, we are on a sound, safe
and sane basis for doing big bust
ness-and we're going to do it. / look
for the greatest year in our history.

LARGE CROWD At
FIRST MEETING

The evangelistic meetings at the
First Baptist church opened encour-
agingly yesterday.
The audiences al both services
were large considering the weather.
The evening service was held in
tAe basement of the church and
filled every chair and seat. Rev Il.

his reputation as pointed, practical
inspiring preacher. Both sermons
yesterday We're to Christians. The
morning theme. The Indispensable
Person is Thus Revived" was a most
helpful and convincing setting forth
of the ministry of the Holy Spirit
through the individual Christian.
The impression made on all was
that the evangelist is a man whose
messages will attract interest and
convince his hearers.

stalled today to insure warm build
ing in case OF cold weather The
audience may be assured OF being
made comfortable. The theme tonight
