ABBA. HARD HIT BY
| FREIGHT REDUCTION

While the 10 per cent freight rate
reduction ordered Wednesday by the
interstate commerce commission will
materially reduce the revenues of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad, the increased vol
ume of traffic that has been handled
by the road during the past few
months and the expected continual
ton Of this increase, will enable the
system to get on its feet financially
by October, according to a statement
made Thursday by J. L. Edwards,
formerly vice president of the road
and now assistant to the receiver,
Colonel B. l.. Bugg.
press dispatches give the only in
formation have on the, decision OF
the interstate commerce commits
sion," said Mr.. Edwards.
"Our freight earnings are about
$25O,0O0 to 100000 a month. A re-
duction of 10 per cent would be
$4,000 to 100000 a month and
regret to say that I do not know
Of any commodity which will move
in substantially larger volume by
reason of this reduction. 1t will
simply mean that much loss in our
revenue.
During March and April, and
particularly since the first of May,
there have been substantial in
creases in the volume Of our bust
ness brought about largely by the
Improvement in general business
conditions. If these conditions con-
tinue to improve, and all our in
formation indicates they will, and if
our friends continue to favor us in
the routing Of their business, l still
hope that in view of our efficient
and economical operation, we will
be able to make our operating ex-
penses by July and think without
doubt that we will be squarely on
our feet in that respect by October
at the latest, even with the reduc-
ton in freight rates"

American Diplomat
Gets Long Sentence
From French Court
nv ,MJNTTTS r. WOOD

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright 1929
CAIRO, May 25.-Arabic newspa,
pers, just received from Syria say
that a French military court in
Damascus, after an zen absento''
hearing, sentenced Charles r. Crane,
Of Chicago, former American min,
lister to China, twenty years in
prison on the charge of melting the
recent uprisings in the French man
date.
A notice in the newspapers quoting
the official communique adds that
the American government has been
notified of the sentence. While Mr..
Crane in the course of his travels
avoids France and the French pos
sessions there is little possibility of
the sentence ever being carried out.
According to the newspapers the
court held that the American was
equally responsible with numerous
Syrians who are serving sentences
on account of the uprising.

Your Holiness:
I have had the pleasure of re-

were kind enough to write me,
which now beg to acknowledge
with sincere appreciation. Let
me assure you that it was with
the greatest pleasure that | lent

missionary interest to which you
so graciously refer, and I am
happy to say that my colleagues
in the conference were all of the

absolute safeguards around such
missions and to keep them with
in the influences under which
they had hitherto been con-
Quoted.
I have read with the greatest
interest your suggestion about
the treatment which should be 8
accorded the ex-kaiser of Ger =
many and the military officers OF
high rank who were associated
with him in the war, and beg to
say that I realize the force of
the considerations which you
urge. I am obliged to you for
setting them so closely, and shall
hope to keep them in mind in the

His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV.
There was something too fine il
his nature for the dramatics and tn

dignity, his reserve, but they canno
see his big heart yearning for tn
love Of his felIow-man. Out of tina
loving heart of his has come the pas

for fair dealing and democracy.
