A VOICE OF AUTHORITY— Mr. Sam Inman said in a speech on the night of November 13, 1887: “Atlanta is more pros perous today in every sense than I ever knew it 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. ' nave hesitated to aay anything In * matter, but this morning allusion J* *o me In a way that makes entirely proper, a* I conceive, for 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 aelvt i before the Federal court, t 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. When Judgo Landis reached bench he rnlled a witness. "If Mr. Fplton, president of the Un .Lon Tank Line Company, Is In court, 1 said Judge Landis, "1 am ready question hlni." Felton rose and went to the stand.

Iona and Judgment above expressed and have no motive other than the public •afety and tha city’* Interest*. "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 real reason behind the trouble Is In the city hall, and a man who knows city politics can mighty paslly f * n ' 1 " In Legi.lature. 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."

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.

The following statements relative to the healthfulnesa of the muddy water were given out Monday: Mayor W. R.

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. Hits City Couneil.

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.

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.
