busy day as the guests OF various COM

The Georgia Society OF New York
gave a dinner last night at the Hotel

said DR.. Matheson, that she can be-
come as great an industrial as she is
an agricultural State. We believe one
OF the best steps in that direction will
be to train the young men of the South

the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

Gov Dorsey called early yesterday
morning at the City Hall at the head
of the delegation and was welcomed by
Mayor Hyan. The ride down Fifth
avenue from the Hotel PENNSYLVANIA
made the party few minutes late, and
Gov. Dorsey. in apoiogizing, said it was
hard to keep an appointment in New
York because distances could not be
calculated easily.
we, SoutnerenrS, he said. feel very
much at home in New York. We get
most of our money in this city for the
promotion of our enterprises. Likewise
we spent all our recreation money and
spare time here. l have only one OBJ

Mayor Hylan in his speech of welcome
declared that the preparation afforded
by schools like Georgia Tech for young
men was much better than taking inn
mature children and training them for
the mill and factory In order that the
Industrial labor markets may be assured
OF an over-supp,y Of artisans recruited
from the homes OF the masses"

W. U. SUES TO ENJOIN
NAVY IN CABLE ROW
Carlton Explains Department
Is Trying to Nullify an
Act of Congress.
NEW LINE rs ONLY LOCAL
Telegraph Company's Presi-
dent Is Unable to Ascertain
Cause Of Obstruction.

Newccmb Carlton, president of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. de-
clared last night that his company has
general authority under an act OF Con-
gress to lay cables in all navigaole
waters in the United States, and a spe-
Mr. Carlton made this assertion in Il
formal statement which he issued In
connection with his company's applica-
ton in the courts Of the District OF
Columbia for an injunction to restrain
the Secretary of the Navy from inter-
fering with its plans to extend its tele-
graph lines from Miami to Miami Beach.
Last April" said Mr.. Carlton, the
Western Union Telegraph Company COM
menced the construction of wires along
the causeway over Biscayne Bay. which
separates Miami from Miami Beach.
There are two drawbridges in the cause
way, and following usual procedure and
lin order to avoid interruption to naviga-
ton, short cable is laid on the bottom
OF the bay at each OF these drawbridges.
'.The Western Union has general au-
thority under an act of Congress to lay
ca HES in all navigable waters In the
United States. In addition to this au-
thority It holds a specific permit for
this work from the Secretary of War
The purpose of the Instruction was to
improve the connection from Miami to
Key West, the present connection being
an unsatisfactory temporary affair to
meet the requirements of Government
dredging operations.
Notwithstanding the unquestioned
right of the telegraph company to i'm
prove its system. further indorsed by
the approval of the War Department.
The Navy Department has for months
arbitrarily interfered with the progress
that If the cable was laid they-tbe
Navy D6partment-would Immediately
cut It. We are informed that this acton
was taken at the request Of the State
Department, although the State Depart
ment has no jurisdiction whatever over
the extensions of the telegraph system.
I'VE have made diligent inquiry during
the last eight months in an endeavor to
ascertain what objection there was to
our proceeding with this work. and
although we have made repeated remon-
strances to the State Department we
have been met only with the repeated
promise of that Department that they
would at once straighten out the matter.
We are as completely in the dark to-day
as we were eight months ago, except
that we now know that the power Of the
armed forces OF the United States has
been used to prevent the lawful carrying
out OF work which was authorized by an
act of Congress-.
"It is becaus of this action that We
ave now seeking the protection OF the
courts in an e|fort to ascertain whether
au :ocratic methods can be used to pre-
vent the needed extension OF telegraph
service 70 meet the demands Of the
public"
