CHARTER PROVIDES AGAINST'CHANGE Board of Aldermen Proba bly Will Send Franchise Back To Council. Alderman James I* Key, at the meet ing of the aldermanie board Thursday afternoon, will contend that the pro posed 33 -year franchise • for the South ern Bell Telephone Company Is Illegal and will be null and void If passed. Alderman Key Will cite an amend ment to the city charter adopted by the general assembly In 1901, -which he claims expressly stipulates that no franchise can be extended beyond the limits of Its expiration before twelve months preceding the expiration. The franchise under which the Southern Bell Is operating, according to the Southern Bell officials and the city attorney, expire with the charter In 1929, and no extension therefore can be granted, according to the alderman's Interpretation of the law', until 1928. The charter amendment referred to by'the alderman Is published In full In this Issue of The Georgian. "There Is no question about the Ille gality of }he franchise," stated A'der- “The * amendment to the chnrtor stales that not before twelve months previous to the termination of the franchise can that franchise be tended. The Southern Bell officials sav their present franchises extend umll 1929, and as the proposed fran chise extends all these frnnchlses a .out eleven years It can not be passed until ; am firm In my conviction and any fair minded person w-ho wl read the proposed ordinance, and can urulcr- stand this charter amendment.

When the board of aldermen meets Thumday afternoon to consider the grant of a franchise to the Southern Bell Telephone Company' It Is prac tically certain that the franchise will be gent back to council to be again re ferred to a committee, where further investigation may be made. The members of council ore prac tically unanimous In asking that they be permitted to consider this franchise further before giving the telephone com pan y a ° f ranch 1 s e for th.rty-threo ^ Nearly every alderman has expressed his Intention of voting for '“Tldorrnan operation of the franchise.

The fact Is th « onl> tw0 members attended the meeting. The report as It stands now ls stgncd by only seven members. Until this day the ordinance haB n ® v ® r b®®np™‘ sonted to Alderman Bcutell, one mem bsr of the committee. The Georgian has proven that as the franchise new stnnds, the city, wlll gat nothing from the 1-2 rercentofgross receipts with the deductions that are provided for, while the Southern Bell will get a 23-year franchise to us® the streets of Atlanta practically as it sees fit and with no provision to kMVjf* company from raising Its rates at will. PARTWQMAK'S BODY FI New York, Aug. 21—Evidence of another fiendish “Jack the Hlpper" crime came to light today In the discovery Of a part of the body of a woman In the Hudson river at the foot of Broom held street. The grew some discovery was made by Joseph Burke, employee on board the steam ship Raleigh. Burke saw a peculiar look ing bundle In the water and brought It out with .1 lK>at hook. It proved to be a part of a woman’s body, The flesh was freshly cut and ap parently had been In the water but a short time, aa the wrappl rr . r . paper was not an Policemen In the Charles street pre clnet Immediately began a search for other REFUSES TO Recognizes No Author ity For Governor’s Order. Commissioner Joseph M. Brown, who was Wednesday suspended In office by the gov ernor, declines to recognise the order or the fact that the chief executive has tt^o right to Issue it. In a letter addressed to Secretary George 8. Montgomery Thursday afternoon, Com missioner Brown says that ho does not “acknowledge the right under the the governor’s to suspend me from this of fice merely to gratify a whim or to vent his personal spleen.” rie denies thnt he has ever violated the laws governing the board or failed to com ply with all that It commanded of him. This means that the commissioner does not acknowledge his suspension and will not rccogulzo the same. The letter In full Is ns follows: “State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.—Aug. 22, 1907. —Hon.-George S. Montgomery, Secretary of the Railroad Commission of Georgia, State Capitol.—Dear Sir: I acknowledge servlco by you of the governor’s order dated yes- tordny,- purporting to suspend mo frofli the position of railroad commissioner. “Allow mo to sny In reply tjmt I do not acknowledge the right under tho law of the governor’s to suspend me from this offlco inefely to gratify a whim or to vent his per sonal spleen.

He asked for a <copy <of . . . ♦. „ —„ Vin/nrn Iho tiCIMW tho record of matters before the bod> and of other ‘papers bearing on the work. The next regular meeting of the commission Is set for August 28. "Well. I might ns well take things easy and acqunlnt myself with my du ties until X am needed, he said. I will take these papers to my hotel and spend the time studying up on my du ties." He called on Governor Smith before leaving the capitol. AUDITORIUM PLANS ARE NOW COMPLETE Contract To Be Let as Soon as Plans Are Ap proved. The report of Morgan & Dillon the architects employed to Investigate thor oughly the cost of tho auditorium ana armory building for Atlanta end to make plans. Is now ready to be sub mitted to the building committee. A meeting of the committee was called for Thursday, but It was found there was not a quorum In ‘he city. Many bids have been received by Morgan & Dillon regarding the bul d- Ing, and they have secured extensive data which will give approximately the cost of tho structure. It Is then for tho committee to doclde how the con tract shall be let and whether or not the entire building will be constructed by one contractor or whether various contractors will be put on the Job. FIRST IQ* CLUB M CHIRR An application for a charter for tho "Georgia Club" was tiled In the office of the clerk of the superior court Thursday morning by L K. Golden. B. C Crawford and George S. I-oeter. *The new club will have no capital stock and Is organised for the purpose of "furthering and promoting fellow ship kindred feeling and culture among Its members.” The Incorporators ask to Iw Incorporated for a period of 20 years and ask for all the privileges usually accorded social organisations of a similar character.

Fort- •on At Fortson two weeks ago. EXIRASESSION or Gov. Comer Will Press Fight Against Rail roads. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 22.—In ft charge to the grand Jury, Judge Jonea appeals to aober-thlnklng citizens and warns the Jurymen to watch any re sistance to the court by the state au thorities. Among other things, Judge Jones says: “Are trainmen to be hunted down and driven off! like cattle to be Incarcerated by wholesale, when these honest men have done no wrong, and have been as sured by Injunction that they are In obedience to the law? “How long will the spectators obey, even the laws of the state? “No one would respect the American people If Its government tolerated such conditions on any foot of American soil. “Tho whole power of the government will be used, If needed, to enforce the orders of this court and to punish those who may defy them. “I charge you diligently to Inquire of every offense concerning the process of the court or efforts to obstruct or Im pede the due administration of Jus-, tice.*' Extra 8eaaion. Governor Comer says he will con vene the legislature If rates are not made effective. Ills statement Is as follows: “I have not yet lost hope that these public service corporations that have not yet fallen In line will reconsider and consent to give the new laws a fair trial. “I shall endeavor at all times to se cure the enforcement of the laws of Alabama, and shall adopt all lawful and proper measures to secure the domina tion by the state of Its own affairs. “I shall use every effort to mitigate the friction which Is being engendered la the state. “If the statutes upon the subject of freight and passenger charges are not obperved by October 1, 1907, by all the railroad* and it It shall appear that the state In Its Just effort to regulate rates Is thwarted by any superior power, I will call the legislature. In extra ses sion.” - RACE FOR CONGRESS James L. Mayson for congress from the Fifth district. That Is a rumor current In Atlanta now among cIobs friends of tho city at torney. Mr. Mayson la out of the city, but those who aro Intimate acquaint ances assert that he has -made up his mind to enter the contest against Con. gressman Livingston. That Hon. J. Pope Brown, of Haw- klnsvllle, will not accept the offer of a place on tho reorganized railroad com mission Is generally belloved, although the governor has not received formal notification of the fact. It seems equally certain that a place on the commission was offered Sam D. Jones, of Atlanta, and that he has de clined It. It Is also practically conceded that under the reorganised commission Commissioner S. Guyton McLendon will be made chairman. Aside from acceptance of the offer of attorney to the commission by Judge J. K, Hines Thursday afternoon, there are no new developments In the situation. If a statement In the Savannah Press, accredited to Governor Smith, Is accu rate In every particular, ono of the new commlsslonershlps will go to that city. According to The Press, Governor Smith stated that In the event Hon. J. Pope Brown did not accept the offer, a Savannah man would be named to the place. Savannah has been pressing tho claims of A. B. Moore, of that city. The railroad commission bill will probably reach Governor Smith Thurs day afternoon. In which event he will Immediately sign It. Statements ac credited to him are to tho effect that he Is as yet at sea on whom he will name as the now commissioners. dOCBJOOCHiKtOOOtKHXKHJOOOOOOOO 0 O O JUST SHOWER8, SHOWER8, O O THAT 18 THE OUTLOOK. 0 O 0 Unsettled conditions still pre- O 0 vail—In matters other than the 0 O weather.

Uphold Pritch ard. Warrenton, Ga., Aug. 22.—A vast crowd of citizens from Warren, Glas cock, Jefferson, Washington and Han cock counties gathered at Beall Springs today to hear Hon. Thomas E. Wat son's address to the farmers* educa tional rally. There /as no barbe cue served, and Mr. Watson was the principal speaker, having accepted the Invitation because the rally was near his home and at the urgent request of his friends. The speech was a mast* *ful effort and was listened to with great In terest. Watson's 8peech. Mr. Watson said: The consular reports, published by our government, are the most Interesting books that a student of human affairs could find. The only other work that compares with these consular reports In value of thnt kind Is the statistical abstract, also pub Untied by our government. In the reports of the consuls who repre the statistical abstract, we learn how ourselves, arc getting along. After considering the condition of the masses of the people at home and abroad, disclosed In these official publications. disclosed in these omciai publications, . find it to be a case of “Pull IUck, pull devil” as to whether the privileged few are doing worse lu Europe, the land of mom archies, or In America, the haven of democ racy. Both at home And abroad, the great fact Is the same—the Irresistible machinery of government Is being used by the benefi ciaries of special privilege to convert to their own use the wealth produced by the unprivileged many. Consider the case of Germany. There you see a people who are supposed to be Intelligent, courageous, educated and capa ble of good government. While they have an emperor, they also have the ballot. With the ballot used wisely, they have the power to control the emperor. They can make Just such laws as they want. Once made, these Ihws have to be enforced. While the empire maintains an Immense army, this army Is altogether different from the standing armies of- former times. It Is constantly changing—new men coming Into It to serve their time, nnd the older troops going out ns their term expires. The offi cers may constitute a fixed body of edu cated military men, nnd this body of offi cers may grow Into a caste, but the German army Itself will always be a people’s army; for the reason that It Is always coming from the people nnd always going back to . I ranrs til* I'll II 11arab nf the people. Every few years, the change of men In the ranks Is complete. Therefore, s* I have said, the laws of Germany are bound to reflect tho opinions ,nd wants of the people. Just as ours do. lermnn people are Just na 1 free to vote „ v are. If they have foolish laws, they themselves nre to blame; Just as we arc* to blame If we have lawa that are foolish. Huled by Privileged Class. Now whnt are the facts about Germany, ns shown In our consular reports? In thnt land of free ballot and open school houses nnd compulsory education und utmost universal capacity to rend and write—even In that land—the privileged few who v run the government have been allowed to make laws which have reduced the masses of the peoplo to the eating of horses and dogs. According to the official report of our consul at Annoburg, In Saxony, the people of that one state or the German.empire» de voured. daring the year 190G. three thou sand seven hundred and thirty-six dogs. It Is not to be supposed thnt Saxony Is fonder of dog meat than are the other states of Germany—consequently. It Is fair to assume thnt In other parts of the country an equal consumption of dog meat took place. If this be so. then the enllght- lull's n n.*nn-i»s v; rams reason. Is playing hnvoc with tho does. ft Saxony cots no more thnn her share of clog meat the great German empire la annually feeding Itaelf on about n/ty thou- TVr»?ra, of government whleh brings about a thing of that sort Is certainly a cartons phenomenon■ and statesmen would do well to give It their attention. But thnt Is not all of the story. These unlrer- sally educated Germans nre also devouring their horses. The consular reports show that horse meat Is regularly sold In the markets, snd that the yearly number of horses butchered for food purposes Is two hundred thousand. Think of It. statesmen!

Section 3: Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Mayor and General Council of the City of Atlanta shall have no authority or power to grant, consent to, or permit the extension, removal or change of the term for which franchises have been or may be granted, or in any way to extend or renew the time for which permission has been or may be given, to occupy the streets and public places, except and only during the twelve monl-3 immediately preceding the expiration of the term of suoh franchises and permits; and all extensions and renewals made in violation of this Act shall be void. If the Bell Company has franchises expiring in 1929, as claimed, then under the above law, the Mayor and Council can not extend or change franchises over the streets it now holds. The Mayor and Council can, however, withhold rights to other streets from the company unless it pays a fair income tax. Richmond gets 3 per cent; Norfolk gets 2 per cent; New Orleans gets over $15,000 a year. What Should Atlanta get? PENNILESS AND ILL, LANIER AND HIS WIFE EJECTED FROM HOME Couldn’t Pay Rent and Are Put Out in Street. Penniless, with cheeks hollow and eyes sunken from eleven weeks of ty phoid fover, A. R. Lanier, of 379 Glenn- wood avenue, saw his household effects thrown out of the cottage he called home, Thursday morning, whilo his patient and suffering wife stood by, wept and wrung her hnnds. His rent was past due and a bailiff from a Justice court obeyed the sum mons of a renting agent. And while her treasured household effects remained In the street and wero drenched by a heavy rain, Lanier moaned feebly on his bed—tho only piece of furniture loft In the house— and Mrs. Lanier tried to comfort him and ease his pain. Tho story of the Laniers Is a sad one. It Is one that ought to melt even the heart of a Justice court bailiff. But It didn’t. ... , ., Until he wo. stricken with typhoid fever, eleven weeks ago, Lanier worked stendlly and faithfully for the Georgia railroad. He moved with his wife Into the neat little cottage In Glennwood ave nue last March, nnd had only been there a short time when he became III. Begged for a' Little Time. "We hod a llttlo money saved up,” sold Mrs. Lanier, between her Bobs, "and I ninnnged to look after my hus band nnd take care of the liouso and pav rent until about two months ago. I ’told the agent I would pay the rent If only given a llttlo time. I begged the bailiff not to drive my sick hus band out into the street and undo nil the work of eleven weeks. But ho tore up my matting before my eyes and threw my furniture Into the street. Lanier Is Just recovering and is so weak he cannot walk without assist- anco. He said tho bailiff ordered him off the bed. but that he was too weak to remain off nnd that he wns com pelled to lie down again.

Casa Blanca, Au*. 22.—There was an all-night fire from the French sharp* shooters directed at the Arabs who tried to steal toward the city under cover of darkness. The cruiser Glolra opened on them with shells, killing Mulal Hafld, the sultan’s brother, who recently was proclaimed sultan, la marching on Casa Blanca with 16,000 men recruited from the fiercest, most fanatical tribesmen of Houth Morocco. One thousand more French troops ara on their way to relieve the garrison. Tanglor, Aug, 21.—The sultan's troopa are reported to have defeated a great force of Kamass tribesmen. In whoeo territory Cald Sir Ilarry MacLean hta been held captive. Many Moors were killed and several of their vlllagea burned. Skirmish attacks on the French troops at Casa Blanca began at day break this morning, and, according to latest advices, was getting gqperal along the entire line and by the tribes men. A general engagement and an attempt to take Casa Blanca will prob ably be made today. The vessels In the harbor are shelling the bands of Moors attacking the troops, but tha an- gogement, being of a bushwhacking nature, overcomes In a measure this advantage. Today's engagement. It Is expecte<k will be decisive. The Moors are kept well Informed of the movements of tha, French government and know that forco of 800 sharpshooters will arrlv# here today, accompanied by 1,000 na«i tlve troops. If Casa Blanca Is to ba taken, It must be before the worn out troops under General Drude are re-*( Inforced, therefore the effort, to t&ka the city Is Imminent.
