and Georgia Charge of Racketeering Methods By Lookout Guides Brings Denial "Commission Paid by Free Powell Says, Accusing Rock City Owner of Being the Unnamed Complainant. Barney Powell, operator of Powell's guide station, denied yesterday charge that many Lookout mountain guides are using "racketeering" methods against mountain business men by requiring commissions under threat of boycott. Mr. Powell said, "Every commission that today is paid is done so by the free will of each donor." The complaint was made to the chamber of commerce Tuesday by a Lookout mountain business man who asked that his name not be disclosed. Mr.
Powell said yesterday that the complainant was Garnet Carter, owner of Rock City gardens, who recently began promotion of the Incline railway for the Tennessee Electric Power company. "For over two years," Mr. Powell said in a written statement, "it has been the privilege of the chamber of commerce and the local papers to condemn and criticize every movement and action of the guides located at the foot of Lookout mountain by whoever chooses to go in and make a complaint, regardless of however trivial the cause might be. "This complaint is then carried to the local papers, and they take great pride in placing this complaint, in some conspicuous place so that all 1o- cal people might read it, and, without ever investigating and finding out about the axe that is trying to be ground, pass it along to other people who did not happen to read it. "This does not greatly depreciate the business of the guides, because local people do not use guides, anyway, although it would certainly be worth their time and $2 if they would take a guide and learn something about the town in which they live, instead of escorting their friends on the mountain and other points, knowing no more than the people they are taking around.

C. Wareing, of Chattanooga, superintendent of the Chattanooga district of the Holston Methodist Episcopal conference, was principal speaker at the district meeting, held here at the First Methodist Episcopal church today.

Three goals were adopted at the meeting: Doubling the enrollment of the Sunday school and the attendance at Sunday school and public worship.

Garnet Carter, the writer of the article in The Times of today, would not sign his name because he was afraid the guides would hurt him. I am going to sign my name to this article. "Mr. Carter accuses us of boycotting him, because he doesn't pay commissions. He first started paying 10 cents on each 25 cents admission, then raised his price to 50 cents and paid 25 cents, and not being satisfied, raised his price to $1 and automatically raised his commission to 40 cents and recently volunteered to split fitty-fifty with the guides if we would bring the tourists to his place first.
"Mr. Carter accuses us of misdirecting tourists. Did it ever occur to the chamber of commerce that we are taking our people along the Chattanooga Scenic loop tour of Lookout mountain, a route that at one time was marked with scenic loop signs that today have been replaced with Rock City signs directing them completely away from Umbrella rock and the government reservation, a place that several million people have visited and still want to visit and was known and recognized long before Rock City was ever thought of? "The guides have done everything in the world to make themselves dependable by complying with every city ordinance we as a body will do our utmost, for Chattanooga and our people. in return that we ask is that as citizens of the city we be given a fair trial before any body of men with the operators of commercial points being present and see if any one except Mr. Carter will stand before us and in our presence throw the first stone.
We are just as innocent of the charges outlined in the paper, but it looks like the laws of England are being practiced in Chattanooga, instead of the constitution of the United States. We are judged guilty first, without a trial. Give us a trial and bring in Mr. Carter." TRAIN HITS TRUCK; FOUR MEN KILLED Crash at Crossing Near Believed Fruit Peddlers. MORRIS, Jan.
