A MERCHANT FLEET

THE HAGUE, July 20. That Ger
many is building a tremendous mer-I
camille fleet, including the largest ship
in the world, was declared by Herr
Balm, general manager Of the Ham
burg-American Line, in an interview
with the Hamburg correspondent of
the Frankfurter zeitung.
The ship referred to is the Bismarck
of $4,000 tons, being constructed for
the Hamburg American Line. There is
also the turbine ship, Tirpitz, of 5000
tons under way, and the list also in
cludes three others of $4,000 tons. At
the Vulcan Yards, Bremen, nine ships
are building, four of them having
carrying capacity of $4,000 tons, these
being the worlds greatest freight
steamers.
In addition, Herr Balm continued,
three big liners are under way at the
Tecklenurg. Two more steamers Of
10000 tons and three larger passenger
freight steamers are being constructed.
Two cargo ships of 1900 tone each

the Panama canal trade at Tecklen-

North German Lloyd is building at
Dantzig two fast liners of $4,000 tons,
the Columbus and the Hindenburg.
These are to be speedy, designed to

Rotary OF the Dixie Highway associa-

after an extended trip through the
South, where he had ben preaching
the gospel Of good roads.
Naturally, Mr.. Gilbreath sought
those sections of the South where the
travel was the toughest to make his
message more effective. He drove his
Maxwell over roads that seemed i'm
passable and the car responded to the
severe test in great style. The Dixie
Highway secretary, passing through
Detroit, called at the general Offices of
the Maxwell company to pay a per-
sonal tribute to the prowess of the
car.

No FOUNDATION To
THE CHARGES MADE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 29.-Presiden.
John t. Brantley, of the board of trus-
tees for the state sanitarium for the
insane at Miledgeville, makes a state
ment deploring recent charges against
the institution by persons who have
at one time or another been detained
there He declares that the charges
made recently by one of the ex-pa-
tents we're fully and thoroughly in
vestigated by the board of trustees
some time ago and found to be with
out foundation in fact. Fe points out
that with 5,338 patients passing
through the doors last year, occasional
instances of abuse or neglect may oc-
cur despite the utmost watchfuIness
of the management, but When the
facts are made known to the spperin-
tendent, swift punishment follows
from which there is no appeal.
President Brantley commends the
recent action of the house appropria-
tons committee in providing 5000, 900
for two new buildings. This he shows
will provide room for about 800 pa
tients and serve only to relieve the
present congestion. If the way should
be opened, however, for increasing this
sum to 100000, as asked for, it will
in the end prove an economy to the
state, says Mr.. Brantley. 1t has ben
pointed out that psychopathic hos
pital for the treatment of durable
cases of insanity is needed, and this
alone would cost not less than $780,
600. MIR. Brantley expresses the be

PLANS MADE FOR W.
{ A. EXTENSION To
SEA BY INTEREST

ATLANTA, Ca, July 29-There is a
growing sentiment among the men,
bers of the Georgia legislature in ia
vor of extending the Western & Allan
tic railroad from Atlanta to the sea.
The road now. runs from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, distance of 13S
miles, and is one of the greatest short
lines in the United States. 1t brings
the state an annual rental of nearly
100000 per year under lease of 20
years that is now approaching close,
and the next lease to be made, even
should the road be leased as it stands
today, will bring a much higher rent
al price.
The extension of the Western & At
lantic from Atlanta to the sea would
make a continuous trunk line from
Cincinnati to the port selected, by
coupling up with the Cincinnati South
e1n, which is owned by the City of
Cincinnati.
A proposal has been made to the
state of Georgia that is engaging the
serious attention of members of the
Legislature, and has placed the extern
sion project in the most favorable light
it ever occupied.
A syndicate of railroad builders have
made the following proposal:
They will build railroad from At
lanta to the sea to connect with the
Western & Atlantic in this city They
will sell this road to the state at an
agreed price and accept the states
bonds in payment for the same. They
will then lease the whole road from
Chattanooga to the sea and pay
rental sufficient to pay interest on the
bonds, pay the sinking fund on the
bonds, and pay a cash surrender equiv
alent to the present rental. The length
of the lease and the amount of the
rental will retire the bonds upon ma
turity. At the termination Of the lease
the entire property will be returned
tc the state Security will be made to
guarantee the carrying out of the pro-
posal.
In addition to this proposal, Hooper
Alexander, formerly chairman for
many years of the Western & Atlantic
railroad committee of the mouse of the
ard one among the best informed
men in the state on the subject of the
road and its potential value, has gone
before the committees of the house
ard senate and stated that he repre-
sents clients who will make a pro-
posal similar to the one outlined
above but will make one even better,
should the legislature enact legisla-
ton necessary to place the state in a
position to consider proposals.
