TRl-r ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND STEWS.
WEDNESDAY, MAT 15. IK-
Smoker of Chamber
of Commerce Shows
Sentiment.
BUSINESSMEN
FAVOR EXTENSION
Revised Charter Advocated
at Meeting at Aragon Ho
tel Tuesday Night.
The builder* of Atlanta, the leader*
of her bualneu. the men who have been
at the from rank of nearly every en
terpriae of magnitude which the city
ha* undertaken and accomplished, put
their stamp of approval on the move
ment for the extension of the city llm
It* of Atlanta at the smoker of the
Chamber of Commerce at the Aragon
Hotel Tuesday night.
The spirit of Atlanta, grown great
and growing greater through "Atlanta
Spirit," was out, and pervaded the en
tire assemblage. The meeting was en
thusiastic and harmonious.
Discussions were free and fair, and
of the 200 representative men of At
lanta, men of thought and men of ac
tion, business men and ‘city ofllcials,
who attended the smoker, not one note
of discord was heard, and not otle
suggestion of antagonism to the move
ment was made.
As a fitting culmination to the dis
cussion. the following resolution, in
troduced by II. A. Maler, was adopted
bjr acclaim:
Resolution Adopted.
"Resolved, That we, the members of
the Chamber of Commerce and friends
here assembled, heartily lndorso the
proposed extension of the city limits of
Atlanta, and pledge our Individual sup
port.”
With the Indorsement of the city ex
tension movement came the suggestion
from speakers of other great things
which should go with It.
"I am In favor of city extension,"
said Luther Z. Rosser, president of the
board of education, "not for cotton
tail rabbits and birds, but for folks.
When the limits are extended, the city
must make provision for the proper
schooling of 20,000 children. Instead of
IS,000, the number of children now at
tending our public schools.
"One thing we should have when
we extend the limits. That Is a uni
form school system. Fulton county and
Atlanta should be pne district. There
should be one system for the city and
t the county, one superintendent at the
head and one board to govern.”
This suggestion by Mr. Rosser met
with hearty approval and In n number
of the speeches that followed It was
taken up and dealt with favorably.
A Greater Chamber.
A greater Chamber of Commerce
was another suggestion made and ap.
proved by the assemblage.
"We want to double our membership
In the next sixty days,” stated J. Wlllo
Rope, president of the chamber, "os
Des Moines has done. We should be
able to Increase our membership from
600 to 1,000 with very little trouble. If
the Individual membera will but help.”
J. L. Logan, secretary of the As
sociated Charities, In Indorsing the
movement, suggested that. If put on
ethical lines, rather than commercial
aggrandisement. It would carry with
]mi friction.
"We hare a charter that Is nothing
but patchwork—a quilt without a de
sign. Why not have council authorise
th* committee of forty to appoint a
commission of three, who will delve
Into the very depths of municipal gov.
ernment. and who will frame a new
city charter for Atlanta. Let the new
territory have 11* say in framing this
charter, and then. Instead of being a
thom In the flesh, ss other annexed
territory has been. It will be and will
feel a part of Atlanta.”
E. F. Blodgett, Atlanta's postmaster,
reported that the postofflee department
la already serving a greater Atlanta.
•The Atlanta,we are serving," stated
Mr. Blodgett, “has now a population of
145.000 We have taken In Edgewood,
South Atlanta, Oakland City, Western
Heights and Marietta street beyond the
Brady & Miller stables and Peachtree
beyond the home of A. O. Rhodes." y
Judy* Hlllyar’a Advice,
Judge Georg* Ulllyer, while an ar
dent advocate of expansion, cautioned
the committee to go slow.
‘This should be a slow process," he
stated.
"It costs 160,000 a mile to pave a
street. The expense of providing sewer
and water pipes may be fairly estt
mated at 65,000 for every mile. School
houses will coat at least 126,000 each
I estimate that expansion will cost
1100.000 a mile.
"For every square mile, there
twenty miles of streets. You see that
we must go slow, and be sure. I hope
the committee will strike on some plan
between the two extremes of not ex
tending nt all and extending every
where—that the members will agree on
some middle ground that will be satis
factory to practically all."
Frank P. Rice, president of the water
board, told of the bearing city ex
tension would have on the waterworks
department, and expressed favor with
the movement.
Biggar Waterworks.
"The water department." he said,
"could not serve Greater Atlanta now.
It's all we ran do to supply water to
the* people within th* present limits.
But, with the Issuance of the 6260.040
of bonds which the people have voted
for, we will be In position to serve
a greater Atlanta.
"This, however, will tax our capacity,
and we will need more money later.' I
think the time ha* arrived to take In
additional territory. I hold consider
able vacant property outside the pres- 1
PRESIDENT ORDERS PROBE
OF MRS. AYRES’ CHARGES
MRS. ELIZABETH FAIRFAX AYRES.
At the requeat of Mrs. Elisabath Fairfax Ayrsa, wife of Llautenant
Colonel Ayres, President Roosevelt has dircuted the war department to
■Investigate Mrs. Ayrat’ ehargaa against Commsndant Howze, of West
Point, as vyeh as the counter charges of Colonal Howze. against Mrs.
Ayres. Thsss charges grew cut of the Esster Sunday parade at the acad
emy, in which the cadets who had lent their overcoats to their aweot-
hearts or other girl visitors wsra ordered to recover them,- which caused
a tirade of objections from th* cadet body, and shared by the girls them

In, and 1 urn perfectly willing to pay
my duo proportion of taxes on It."
Rev. Sain W. Small, In an eloquent
address, said he favored one great
educational system for city and county,
anil caused u ripple of merriment by
saying he favored the extension of the
limits at least to the Chattahoochee. In
order that the city could reap tho ad
vantage of port rates.
Mayor's Indorsement.
Mayor Joyner, In a short address,
but to the point, said he was In favor
of extension and was going to do all Id
his power to get It. He naked for the
co-operation of tho people of Atlanta.
"I want no greater monument to my
administration," tho mayor sold.
Captain W. G. Raoul, Joel Hurt, and
J. K. Orr were among tho other apeak
ers whoses addresses were received
with great applause at the meeting.
One of the most pleasing features of
tho entire session, outside of the
unanimity of thought and feeling for
city extension, were the addresses of
several prominent men from Des
Moines, Iowa, and of J. Y. Bnssoll,
secretary of tho board of trade of Co
lumbus, Ohio. ,- -
Des Moines Spssksrs.
Des Moines lias recently extended
her city limits, lifter a hard struggle,
and It was therefore particularly ap
propriate that these representatives of
tho progressive Iowa city should be
heard from. Columbus :s. on the other
hand, another hustling city of the
Northwest, whose counsels, through
the secretary of Its board of trade, was
calculated to be of value.
The names of the apeaker* are: Hon.
Walt Butler, of Des Moines, ex-con
gressman; L. E. Wilson, secretary of
ths Great Dos Moines Club; lion.
George Dobson, of Des Moines, former
secretary of state of the state of Iowa;
H. B. Allen, vice preatdent of the Des
Moines Club, and J. J. Y. Batsell, sec
retary of the board .of trade of Colum
bus, Ohio,
The speeches of all were extremely
Interesting, and the speakers were
greeted with applayse throughout their
addresses.

Police Board Drops Pruitt
on Complaint of Kirk
wood Ave. Man.
Brunswick, Ga., May 15.—The mili
tia has taken charge of the jail here
to protect Lee Homles, a negro charged
with the killing of A. A. Sands, on
Saturday night. One hundred men
went to Darien, the sceno of the crime,
from Glenvllle, with the avowed Inten
tion ot lynching Holmes. Thq authori
ties, however, were forewarned and
have moved the prisoner.
The riot call was sounded yesterday-
evening on the big Are bell, but few
understood the signal of eleven taps
until from stnreK and office* on all
aides men dashed down the street to
the armory ofthe Brunswick Rtnemen.
In less than thirty minutes thirty-five
men In uniforms with twenty rounds
of ammunition were out along Newcas
tle street In front ot Glynn Jail.
The mob from Glenvllle, which was
reported In Darien, left that placa at
noon avowedly for this to get a negro
named Lee Holmes, who.killed A. A.
Sands, a young white man of Tattnall
county. Holmes claims he was scuf
fling with another negro nnd that
Sands wns shot by accident. Monday-
many strangers came to Darien, and
Sheriff Bailey, having but one deputy,
prudently concluded to remove his
prisoner. Late Monday he received
accurate information that a mob would
come for the negro Monday night. Se-
curing a launch, he put all of the pris
oner* on board and came here.

several times. Ho also acknowledged
that he had a wife and children. Pruitt
said he had tendered his resignation,
but Captain English moved that he be
dismissed In disgrace.
For Assistant Chief,
. The new ordinance authorizing an

the chief was Instructed to advertise
that an examination for the position

trial was postponed, and the chief In
structed to give him proper attention.

ommended by the board to stand the
