GOV. BROWN OPPOSES
STATE R. R. MONOPOLY

Gov. Jos, M. Brown was among
those who addressed the House and
Senate, Western & Atlantic commit
tees at meeting "Wednesday night.
Governor Brown devoted his atten-
ton mainly to opposing any move to
prevent the construction of a road
paralleling the Western & Atlantic.
He declared that it is strange that
those who are urging constitutional
amendment to prevent the road from
being paralleled should have over
looked the fact that the road has al
ready been paralleIed. He stated THAI
the proposition to prevent the road
from being paralleled again is direct
ed at the L. & N.
How shall we sustain ourselves -
ne asked, if we say to two companies
that they may parallel the w. & a.
and say to third that it shall not !?
The tenor and intent of the constitu-
ton is that no discrimination or mo-
nopoly shall be permitted 1t uses
the word monopoly Yet if we al
low the Southern and the Central of
Georgia to compete and say to the
L. & N. that it shall not compete,
are We not discrimin ating? Are the

WILL INCREASE REVENUE.
He declared that, while to allow
the L. &, N. to parallel the w. & A.
might for time reduce the revenue
of the road, in time, he believed, that
it would result in the development OF
busin ess to an extent where it would
greatly increase the revenue of the
W, & A. He cited past examples.
In response to a question from Mr..
Andrews, of Fulton, Governor Brown
declared that if the L. & N. should
be allowed to construct a parallel
road, the state might still look to the
present lessee to release the road
Governor Brown opposed new
lease for the road which would ex-
tend for longer term than thirty
years.
Governor Brown suggested that

Washington, D. c., Sept. 13.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels Sunday night
announced the names of the twenty
two scientists and inventors, who,
with Thomas A. Edison, the chairman,
are to constitute an advisory board to
assist the United States navy IN Its
technical problems Of development.
The members OF the board were
chosen by eleven scientific societies,
each Of which nominated two men.
Each of them was chosen for the IN
yentions he had made or the leadership
held in his particular science.
Mr.. Edison was chosen by Secretary
Daniels for the chairmanship of the
board, the plan resulting in the crea-
ton of the body having been taken up
first with Mr.. Edison as the foremost
inventor of this country.
First Meeting is Called.
Mr.. Daniels announced that he had
arranged for the first meeting OF the
advisory board to take place IN his Of
fee at II o'clock on Wednesday, oct. 8.
At this meeting 1t is expected that
the organization Of the board will be
effected and plans for the conduct OF
it's work discussed.
It Is thought probable that the flrst
organization will take the form OF
division of the board into committees,
to which will be assigned problems IN
particular fields Of the navy's Work, 10
which members will be assigned IN &C
cordance with their special fitness.
OF those chosen, Is Elmer A. Sperry,
of Chicago. In 1879 he perfected one
of the first arc lights in America ana
secured its practical adoption. IN the
following year, although not yet OF age,
he had founded his own company, the
Sperry Electric Co., of Chicago, ano
had entered upon the manufacture OF
arc lamps, dynamos and other electric
appliances.
He also applied the horoscopes sue
cessfully to the stabilization OF ships
and produced a kenetic stabilizer OF
aeroplanes.
One Assistant to Edison. !,
The other members of the board and
their special field of endeayor follow:
Hudson Maxim, Brooklyn, ordnance
and explosive expert and maker OF the
first smokeless powder adopted by the
United States government.

DUMBA'SM MESSENGER
FACES PRISON TERM
Captain Archibald, American Correspondent Who Tried
to Carry Letters Through the Allies Lines to
Austria Is Violator of u. S. Neutrality

Washington, Sept 13. The fate
that ia to overtake Captain james
Francis Archibald, the American news
paper man who tried to take Ambassa-
dor Dumba's famous secret message
to the Vienna foreign Office, has not
| yet been made clear. Archibald Is now
on his way back to America and prob
ably will be arrested when he reaches
New York 1t is not improbable that
he will be taken into custody on the
charge of violating American neutral
ity laws. The punishment for this may
be two years in prison and fine OF
$4,000.
Captain James Francis Jewell Archi-
bald has had long and wide experience
as a war correspondent and in dealing
with diplomats and military men, and
has figured already in series OF
articles revealing the activities and
purposes of the official German prop
aganda In the United States.
He passed five months with the Ger
man and Austrian armies during the
war. and on returning to the United
States last spring he delivered course
of lectures illustrated with colored pno-
tographs and moving pictures, speak
ing in New York, Philadelphia and 9TH
er cities. Both the lectures and the
pictures proved that the most favor
able opportunities for observation had
been given him.
It is at least remarkable coinci-
dence that two days after Captain
Archibald was held up in England
dispatch was sent out from Washing
ton emphasizing the statement that he
had carried no papers from Count Won
Bernstorff, only a gift to the Countess
from her husband. 1t is known, how
ever, that Archibald had dinner with
the ambassador in New York the night
before he started on his return trip to
Europe.
So intimately acquainted Is Captain
Archibald with what may be called the
secrets of diplomacy and with military
affairs, that as long ago as July, 1911,
returning from Europe, he said among
other things:
'War between France and Germany
is inevitable in my opinion. There will
be no opportunity for big naval engage

report further success.

Sixteen Hundred Reservists

Predicament Is a Terrible
One; Flames Believed Of

New York, Sept. 13. - Tho
Fabre line steamship SAINT Anna,
which was on fire In mtdocean, is
safe and proceeding under escort
to the Azores, according to WIRE
less message received at the lines
local office today.
The message was from the cap
tain Of the SAINT Anna and came
via Cape Race. It read:
"Fire In Hold No. 2. Fire 10 out.
Proceeding to Azores, escorted by
Ancona."
New York, Sept. 13.-The steam
ship SAINT Anna, bound from New
York to Marseilles and Naples with
some 1000 Italian reservists aboard
was afire today in the Atlantic three
or four days sail from the nearest
port. A wireless message that reached
the station at Cape Race last night
brought the first news of her plight. II
gave her position as latitude 4O.2S
north longitude 47.30 west, or about
$50 miles southeast OF Halifax.
Efforts by the agents Of the Fabre
line, to which the steamer belongs, to
obtain further information, had fall
ed during the early morning and grave
| fears were entertained here for the
safety Of the vessel and her passen
gers.
When the vessel sailed from New

had the vessels under the closest kind

freight offered as cargo to guard
againt bombs and internal machines y
It was said today that the sailing Of
the steamship from this port was de.
layed twenty-four hours to permit a
thorough search because the suspic.
ions of her officers had been aroused
by rumors that a bomb had been
placed aboard.
The message from the Cape Race
wireless station, as received here via
Halifax, was flashed on the Atlantic
and without doubt was picked up by
vessels within easy sail Of the steamer
in distress. 1t was understood here to.
day, however, that the Canadian gov.
ernment was preparing to send re-
lief ship from Halifax unless word
was received today that aid had reach
ed the SAINT Anna from some other
source.
AS the steamship was on the south
ern route for the Mediterranean sea
she was far from the more travelled
path further north used by vessels
plying between New York and Great
Britain. She was due at Naples, her
first stop, on September 18 or 10.
