A VOICE OF AUTHORITY—
Mr. Sam Inman said in a speech on the night
of November 13, 1887: “Atlanta is more pros

to be. I did not believe prohibition would help
Atlanta in a business way, but I am sure it has/’
MISMANAGEMENT
OPENLY CHARGED
Alderman Key Says His
Bill Is Not Cause of
Muddy Water.
Charging that the muddy condition
of Atlanta', water Is due to gross mis
management and Incompetency, Alder
man James L. Key Monday morning
requested Mayor Joyner to call a ape
rial meeting of council, and this see
flon trill be held at 11 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
The whole city Is up in arms about
the condition of the water, and Aider-
man Key proposes to prove that were It
not for mismanagement the people of
Atlanta would have clear, well-filtered
water now.
"As a matter of fact,” stated Alder
man Key, "the reservoir is -now high
enough, and the people of Atlanta could
get dear water today in Just the time
li would take to run out the muddy
water now In the pipes. The presaure
on the pumps wan not Increased until
Friday evening at 6 o'clock.
"The reservoir was n little over IS
feet Saturday. Sunday It was twenty
fret, and one Inch, and this morning It
was between twenty-one and twenty-
two feet. Water has been run from
the reservoir through the flltrutlon
plant when the reservoir was not near
a> high. Mismanagement Is about the
moat charitable way I can put It.
Not Key Ordinance.
"Aa for the charge that the Key or
dinance la the cause, this is absurd and
la nothing but political clap-trap. The
general manager saya himself that
what I, needed la a new 31-lnch main.
Bids for the main were advertised for
before there ever was any bond elec
tion. They were turned down because
they were too high and It appeared that
■here had been a combination. The
•econd bids ware 12.60 a ton less and
the pipe waa ordered and Is jtow on the
way. Tho Key ordinance did not ueent
t< Interfere. i
"Tht Key ordinance waa reported fa
vorably by a special committee con-
eletlng of one from each ward and was
adopt'd by the unanimous vote of
council. It slthply provides that tho
bonds were not to be bartered around
and that council should see that the
people got their money's worth. Had
It not been for this ordinance, which
assured the people that tho money
v ould be spent properly, the bond elec
tlon would never have carried, and
where would the waterworks be now?
"Mismanagement Is Cause.
"I itn going to Insist on an Invest!
gating committee from council being
appointed with authority to employ ex-
pert englneara. I’ll show It la noth
ing but mismanagement and Incom
petency. The people will know where
to place the blame all right.”
General Manager Park Woodward,
when seen relative to the atatement by
Alderman Key, replied that he was
"ready for him.”
T.et him come," he said. “I have the
records and will ahow that hie ordi
nance. which kept us from spending the
b‘>nd money until.the legislature met,
was tbe cause.”
Judge George Hlllyer, who wae pree-
Ident of the water board for fifteen
years, was seen by a representative of
The Georgian and gave out tb* follow
log interview:
Judge Hlllyer** Views.
There are three ways by which I
tl.lnk the present evil might have been
prevented.
"The extension of the 66-Inch main
between the river and the reservoir
ought to have been cleaned out and
kept clean. When In proper condition.
Its capacity Is easily 20.000.000 gallon,
[* a| l> If It had been cleaned out and
kept clean It would easily deliver 20,-
no'MWO gallons dally now Instead of 13.-
wto.ooo. This margin or difference of
■,0t»i,ooo gallons Increased dally supply
"■mid have kept the reservoir full and
avoided all difficulty.
Another means would be to have
™d a temporary 12-Inch pipe on the
ground from the river to the top of
. ""*■>•» Hill. If thla had been done last
spring, after all danger waa over of an
expose^ pipe freezing, it would have
relieved the situation until the new 16-
ib' h pip, | a nnlshed, whether the old
one was cleaned out or not.
ft seems that the contract for the
«-inch pipe has been let without wait,
mg for the legislature. If the water
'(apartment had ordered the pipe *0
"ays ago or In April, It Is probable a
o'" and large 26-Inch main would have
b »cn finished by now.
In addition to these three ways. It
!'possible also that If a ays-
}„°f rigid Inspection were Instituted
ir. the city, so as to stop the waste of
,„ a,er )n the flush tanks, public build-
■ng». elevators and other useless waste,
situation would have been greatly
•njilgated. If not entirely relieved, es-
bsnaily if this Inspection had taken
'.."and been rigidly enforced for the
80 or WO days In fact, useless
*>f water should be combatted
"... Prevented at all times.

DR. JULIAN THOMAS
HURT IN AUTO CRASH
Picture of Or, Julian P, Thomas, the Atlantan and noted aeronaut,
who was seriously injured last night in an automobile accident.
New York, July 8.—Dr. Julian P.
Thomas, millionaire, athlete, clubman
and aeronaut, Is lying at the point of
death In Fordham Hospital. As yet
he has been unable to offer any ex
planation of the remarkable automobllo
accident In which he and two young
women suffered such Injuries early to
day that two of them may die.
How Misses Frances Haas and Al-
aeyle Welssmun, 'who suffered with
him, or Induced them to accompany
him on the mad speed burst, which
ended so disastrously, Is a mystery-
Mrs. Thomas has sent word that she
la on her way to see her husband. She
received notice of the accident near
Belmar, N. J., where she Is spending
the summer. Physicians at Fordham
say Dr. Thomas’ magnificent physique
may pull him through with life In his
body, but that he will be a hopeless
cripple. Efforts afre firing made to
nurse sufficient strength Into his bat
tered frame to permit the amputation
of his right leg, which waa almost torn
from his body.
I had speeded as I knew the road
was clear. Near the cemetery I ran
Into a fog covering everything. I put
on the brake, dodged one trolley post
and ran straight Into another," aaid Dr.
Thomas today.
Another fainting spell Interrupted
the story and no coherent account of
the accident could be secured.
"I did not lose control,” the doctor
finally went on, "but was helpless, ly
ing across the steering gear with my
leg broken. I knew the young women
were thrown out. I saw them flying
through the air, and they must be bad
ly hurt. Have them given the best of
care. I will pay all bills."
Miss Haas, a pretty girl of 19, will
proliuhlv die. Should she live she will
go through the rest" of Tier life oif
irutches. Her crushed nnd mangled
left teg was amputated at the knee.
Miss Welsstnan Is expected to re
cover. but with scars that will dis
figure her face forever. Her name was
given out aa Grace Rogers, and It waa
several hours before the mistake waa
discovered at the hospital. Both Miss
Wetssman and Miss Haas belong to
well-known families In upper New
York.
Members of the family of Dr. Julian
Thomas In Atlanta have received no
Information concerning the automobile
accident In New York.
J. Jefferson Thomas, of 64 East Alex
ander street, Is the father of Dr. Thom
as. Inquiries were mad* by The Geor
gian at the Thomas horns Monday aft
ernoon, but Miss Thomas, sister of the
Injured mnn, stated that the family had
received no word whatever from New
York.
BIG PITFALL
Judge Landis Will Im
pose Fines For Re
bating Aug. 3.
Chicago, July 8.—Judge Landis an
nounced today that he will Impose
fines on the Standard Oil Company
and the Chicago and Alton railroad for
rebating on Saturday, August 1.
The representatives of the oil trust
decline to submit any further evidence
In their own bshali. declaring the court
has already excea'ed Its powers by In
quiring Into the re'-tlona of the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana.
H. E. Felton, president of the Union
Tank line, a rebating subsidiary branch
of the Illinois trust, was called to the
witness stand by Judge Landis and
forced to answer questions.
Truzt la Trapped.
The Standard OU representatives
were obviously disconcerted by the
predrament In which they found them

government official today declared that
the bl.- concern had been trapped Into
the worst pitfall It ever encountered by
Its own belief that It could bluff the
Federal authorities.

bench he rnlled a witness.
"If Mr. Fplton, president of the Un

"It la absurd to claim that delay In
laaulng 8260,000 of bonds had anything
to do with the present muddy water."
“Something Rotten.”
Thomas H. Goodwin, former candi
date for mayor, paid a visit to the
waterworks Sunday, as did Alderman
Kev. and he corroborated the state
ments made by the latter. He made
the following atatement:
"There's something rotten In Den
mark. That reservoir had twenty feet
of water Sunday and It could have been
pumped through the filtration plant*
just as easily as not. There's no phys
ical ■ reason why the city should be
alven muddy water at this time. If the
pumps are put to work at their ca
pacity. we can get all the pure water

Is In the city hall, and a man who
knows city politics can mighty paslly

Tha water question was Injected Into
Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb county,
amid great cheering, offered a resolu
tion railing upon tho secretary of state
to furnish pure water to the members
of the house. It was adopted unani
mously.
Walter R. Brown has Issued the fol
lowing hot-shot Interview:
"There should be a hurry call for a
meeting of the committee on wells,
pumps, and cisterns. From htcompe-
tency or unwillingness the water board
or the superintendent appear to be su
premely Inactive. A moat serious water
famine Is at our doors. It Is no time
to quarrel, but the people know that
tha city authorities In charge of water
works are at fault.
“They Should Resign.”
"If the present board and superin
tendent do not act promptly, or do not
know how to act they should resign.
"If the water board had not dis
mantled the plant at Lakewood It
could now be operated and good drink
ing water given the city. The board
waa cautioned on this mistake at the
time.
"Elect officials by tht people and
for."
All Roads Rebate,
"I will explain to tho court," said
Felton, “that all tha railroads In the
country pay 8-4 cents to shippers who
ship goods In their own enrs.”
Attorney Moritz Rosenthal Jumped
to his feet.
"We want to know," he began, “what
the contention of the government le In
this 3-4 cent* matter. We want to
know-
"I don't know what tho government's
contention la,” Interrupted Judgo Lan
dis. “I don't know whether tho gov
ernment hoe a contention, and 1 don't
care, Mr. Rosenthal."
Mr. Roeenthsl was visibly perturbed
by the curt Interruption of the court.
Trust Counsel Perturbed.
“Then, on behalf of tho Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, as well as
the defendants In this case," went on
Mr. Rosenthal, ‘T desire to make a re
ply to the court In regard to the In
quiry of Saturday. We deny the Juris
diction of this court.
"We hold that as these defendants
have never before been convicted oreven
Indicted for these charges, that aa the

that the companies should not be called

The following statements relative to
the healthfulnesa of the muddy water
were given out Monday:
Mayor W. R. Joyner—I do not con
sider the water unhealthful, but I
think boiling la a precautionary safe
guard which Is advlsablq. I am not In
terested In who Is to blame as much
as how to Improve the situation.
Dr. J. P. Kennedy, health ofllcer—I
consider that the water la more health
ful than that of tho wells and Just aa
healthful as the water that Is shipped
In here from springs near here. To be
absolutely sure I would udvlac boiling.
Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriolo
gist—I hate not finished my analysis
of the water yet. I ree nothing alarm-1
leg In the situation from a standpoint!
Four thousand five hundred men and
women were aroused to tho highest en
thusiasm In the Baptist Tabernacle
Sunday night by tha great prohibition
meeting.
The wit nnd rapier thrusts of Dr.
Broughton, tho direct earnestness of
Dr. L. G. 'Hardman, the logic of Sen
ator Q. L. Williford and the burning
eloquenco of Seaborn Wright made It
n memorable meeting In tbe history of
Atlanta.
The oppressive heat was forgottsn,
the difference of religious creed was
laid aside, and a great audience united
In pledging untiring work to bring
about a great reform. Long before tho
hour fixed for the meeting, the audito-,
rium was packed, and scores stood
throughout the two-hour meeting.
On the platform were Dr. Brough
ton, Senator Hardman, Senator Willi
ford, Seaborn Wright, Dr. Millard, pas
tor of Pony* DeLeon Baptist church:
Dr. A. R. Holderby, Dr, Hunnlcutt,
Payne Memorial church; W. D. Up
shaw, W. J. Neal, of Cartersvlllo; Rev,
J. C. Solomon, state superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, and others.
Adopt Resolutions.
Any remnant of doubt aa to how
that great audience stood on prohlbl
tlon waa removed when Dr. Broughton,
near tha close, offered the following
resolution:
"Whereas, There Is now pending In
th* legislature the Hardman-Covlng-
ton bill, providing for etate prohibition
In Georgia, and,
"Whareae, we believe the beat In
terests of Atlente and tha state at large
demand the passage of said bill, and,
"Whereas, every possible effort Is
being made by certain men, residents
of Atlanta and other large cities In
Georgia, to mislead and prejudice tho
minds of legislators against said bill,
therefor* be It
Resolved, That this great audience,
filling to tho overflowing the largest
church auditorium In the city, repudi
ates the claim* of Atlanta non-prohlbl.
tlonlsts concerning the evil effects of
prohibition, and urges the legislature to
support and pass the said Hardman-
Covington bill for state prohibition.
That we believe that tho vast major
ity of tha white voters of Atlanta art
In favor of stats prohibition."
Hon, John W. Akin, president of the
senata. was to preside over the meet
ing, but hla train was delayed, and Dr.
Broughton took hla place. Ho aroused
• nthuslasm at the very opening by
leading a telegram from Bishop W. A.
Candler. In which I he bishop refuted
the printed statement that he was op
posed to slat* prohibition. Di. Brough,
ton said:
"I knew before this message was re
ceived that Warren Candler would nail
that lie. He Is too good and too great
a man to allow any such statement as
that to go unrefuted."
Then came a sensational statement
from him: ,
Lawmaker* end Liquor Men,
"I know you will t* astonished when
_ tell you that on last Friday night a
meeting of the liquor men was held In
u well-known hotel here, and that
eighteen members of the legislature
were there. At least two of them got
ae drunk as blled owls. It la said that
they raised 1260,000 to fight prohibi
tion. Can you concslre r of a viler lobby
than this? It Ie the most dangerous
and damnable lobby known In tho his
tory of the state.
"Why, e few day* ago the old R. 61.
Rose liquor establishment gave a bar
becue. They chartered a special train
and took away eight car loads of peo
ple to drink their damnable stuff.
Members of the city council and of the
legislature were In that crowd! Yet,
whan the Sunday schools of a Chris
tian community ask the railroads for
specie! trains for picnics they are re
fused. But they gave It to that liquor
gang all right.

ONE WOMAN KILLED '
AT SALUDA RIVER
Miss Cora Brown and Miss
Idell Kimball in
Wrecked Car.
According to Atlantans arriving It
the city Monday morning from ths
Jamestown Exposition, a serious wreck,
In which one woman lost her life and
several people were Injured, occurred
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock on the
Seaboard Air Line railroad at Saluda
river, between Klttrell and Franklin,
N. C.
Two Atlanta people were In the
wreck. Miss Cora Brown and Miss
Idell Kimball, sister and niece, respect
ively. of Hon. Walter R. Brown. Miss
Kimball waa painfully Injured nnd both
ahe and Miss Brown suffered consid
erably from nervous shock. Mlbs
Brown and Miss Kimball arrived In
Atlanta Monday morning over the Sea
board and went Immediately to tho
homo of Mr. Brown, 325 South Pryor
■treet.
Tho Seaboard officials here say they
have received no advices of the wreck,
and tho name of the dead woman could
not be obtained Monday.
The wreck was of r peculiar nature
and marked a strange coincidence. The
Pullman, which was the only car
wrecked, left the rail* aa the train
started over the river bridge and was
pullod entirely across the bridge off
of Its trucks. After clearing the bridge,
the car rolled down a steep embank
ment and turned completely over.
Miss Brown and Miss Kimball and all
of those Injured were In this Pullman.
The.woman who was killed was hurled
through a window as the car over
turned. Only eight passengers were
In the car at tho time of the accident.
ThR same car was wrecked Saturday
morning on the up trip at exactly th*
same place. The damage at this time
waa only slight, however, nnd the car
was able to continue the run to Nor
folk. What caused tho second accident
Sunday afternoon Is not known.
Miss Kimball la reported Monday as
being very nervous, but her Injuries aro
sold not to bo serious.
