ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,1907. IS IN HANDS IF RECEIVER RefereeWalker Orders Samuel C. Dunlap to Act. PPTm?.. >■ Atlanta: TWO CENT*. ATAVAVAGi* On Trains: FIVE CUNTS. NEW STREET PLUSHER PROVES REAL SUCCESS FOUR ACTIONS IN THE COURTS Temporary Receiver to Act Until Case Is Heard on September 20. The effort, to put the North Georgia Electric Company In the hands of a re ceiver have been successful. As a result of the petition filed by Ellwood Allen and VI. D. Chamberlain, of Dayton, Ohio, and the Western Union Telegraph Company Wednesday, Ref. eroc Clifford Walker, of Monroe, has appointed Samuel C. Dunlap, of Gaines ville. temporary receiver. This peti tion whs tiled with the Involuntary pe tition In bankruptcy, through Attorneys Dorsey.j Brewster, Howell and Heyman. This petition was filed In the Federal court here Wednesday and the petition for a receiver was taken to Monroe and presented to Referee Walker, who had jurisdiction In the matter because of the absence of Judge Newman. The defendants or other creditors have until September 20 to answer the eubpena and make answer and If noth ing Is done within five days afterwards, the petition in bankruptcy will — through the regular channel. Refused by Judge. In the petition for a receiver It was alleged that the company hod.admitted Its Insolvency and -that a petition for a receiver had already been applied for In the United States circuit court. Thla petition was the ono Judge Shelby turned down, and the admission by President Stewart, of the company, of Insolvency and his consent to the ap pointment of a receiver were comment, ed upon by Judge Shelby when he re fused to grant the petition. Receiver Dunlap’s bond was fixed by Referee Walker at 125,001). Still an other petition for a receiver for tho company was Died Thursday morning In the United States court by the John A. Roebllng's Sons Company, of Tren ton, N. J„ through Attorney Habry Alexander and was presented to Ref eree Percy H. Adams, In Atlanta It was said the petitioner had found that the company had a charter here and that for that reason Referee Adams had jurisdiction. At noon Referee Adams had taken no action In the matter. Four Different Actions. This makea four separate actions against the North Georgia Electric Company. The first was In the United States circuit court before Judge Shel by at Huntsville, by John A. Nesblt, of Xenia, Ohio, through Attorneys Brown & Randolph, and this waa turned down. \ Then came on involuntary petition In bankruptcy by Ellwood Allen, W. Chamberlain and the Western Unton, the latter claiming -the electric com pany owed It 58 cents, Then followed the petition for a re ceiver to Referee Walker by the same petitioners, which was granted, and next the petition to Referee Adams for a receiver by the Roebllngs. According to Nesbtt's petition, the company has an excellent plant on the Chattahoochee and Etownh rivers and a dam 16 feet high with horse power at 60,000. It also says the company hoa a power house equipped with dynamos and water turbines and a transmission line from Gainesville to Atlanta. It le further shown that the company Is now selling power at Gainesville, Buford and Norcrots and Intends selling It In Atlanta. This ts the company that was fighting the Georgia Rfllway and Electric Com pany In Atlanta, and which agreed to sell electricity considerably cheaper, but which was later underbid by the Atlanta concern. At 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon still another petition waa presented and Died In the Federal court. This last one was by Attorney Harry A. Alexander for the John A. Roebllng's Sons Company, of Trenton, N. J.. the plaintiff In another petition to Referee Adams. In this pe tition It Is alleged that Referee Walker had no jurisdiction In the matter be cause the principal office of the North Georgia Electric Company was In At lanta. For that reason he asks that the order appointing Samuel C. Dunlap receiver be set aside. No action baa yet been taken. While Chief Jentsen, of the sanitary department, members of the board of health, Mayor Joyner, several members of the general council and an Interested crowd, of plain clttxens looked admir ingly on, the new street flusher was given a test at noon Thursday and proved so satisfactory that the city of ficials want eleven more like It. The first test was made at Whitehall and Alabama streets, and when the water from tho tank was shot to the asphalt pavement the dirt and trash disappeared aa If by magic and was washed by the water Into the sewers. To give It a more thorough teat, the flusher was taken up Alabama street and worked on the block In front of The Georgian office between North Broad and North Forsyth streets. This street Is paved with belglan blocks, but this made no difference to the flusher. As soon as the sheet of water with the air pressure behind It was turned on the dirt was washed Into the gutter and the street not only cleaned, but the dust removed. Everybody Pleased. There was not a city ofilclal present who was other than well pleased with the teat. The flueher waa recently pur chased by Chief Jentsen for the city, and now that It does the work success fully, more will be ordered, as has been urged by The Georgian. "With twelve of these fiyshers," said Chief Jentsen, “I can save the city 15,000 a year In labor albne, without counting the great number of brooms and other Implements worn out Twelve of them will do away with half of the wagons we are compelled to use. I have been wanting this for four years— ever slnoe I saw one In St. Louie.” Mayor Joyner waa also enthusiastic In his praise of the flusher and said ho told Chief Jentsen about It several years ago after he had seen how well It worked. Chief Jentsen says In St. Louis they use these flushers three times a week on the streets and that they are always kept clean. TWO—NEW STREET FLUSHER Another feature is that the water used In flushing the streets Is used for two purposes. It washes the dirt from the street and then does work flushing out the sewers. So the city gets Its streets washed and Its sewers flushed with the same water. Need Eleven More. Councilman Roberts, Martin, Man- gum and Huddleston eaw the test and expressed themselves as thoroughly satisfied. Mayor Joyner fully backed up Chief Jentsen In his desire for more of them, and it the sanitary department does not get 12 Immediately, it will be because the city’s treasury can not stand that many at once. It Is quite probable that more will be ordered. The flusher resembles a sprinkling cart, except that the tank Is steel In stead of wood. The water le sent Into the tank from a fire plug and the air In the tank, Instead of being excluded by the water, Is compressed until there Is as much pressure In the tank as there Is behind the water coming out of the plug. This means that the water le shot from'the flusher to-the streets with a pressure of forty pounds or more. The result ts that dirt and trash—even big pieces of watermelon rinds—i washed Into the gutter end floated the Intake basins. The flusher appeals to the medical men on the board of health because of lte sanitary features. There le no dust and germs don't have much chance to get busy. After tho test the officials went to tho city dumping grounds, where they were the guests of Chief Jentsen at a barbecue. NICNT RATE T President Gentry Ex plains to R. R. Commission.

Gourdatn, millionaire con vict and known throughout the United States because of his eccentric and frantlo efforts to break Into the Federal penitentiary. Is now on hie way, In charge of United States officials, to the government asylum for the Insane. He left at 12:15 Thursday for Wash ington, and unless he recovers he will spend the balance of his sentence of 4 1-2 years In a mad house. That Gouraaln's eccentric ways after his conviction of using the malls to de fraud were caused by a diseased brain is now demonstrated by the decision of government surgeons. With him to the mad house of Uncle Sam at Washington went John Peter son. another convict at the Atlanta Federal prison. He Is a life convict, and was sent up for robbing the malls. Both prisoners were transferred on Thursday under a heavy guard United States deputy marshals from the Atlanta prison and upon orders from the department of justice will be In carcerated In the Insane asylum which the government maintains near Wash ington for all Insane persons, criminal or otherwise. A Noted Prisoner. Gourdatn Is one of the most noted prisoners ever In the custody of Uncle Sam. He waa convicted In Chicago of using the malls to defraud and was sent to the prison at Joliet, III. During his trial he made a speech to the jury and declared that It he was convicted he would never appeal his case, but would serve his sentence. After he was sent to the pen at Joliet, his attorneys appealed his case and ha then startled the country by racing back and forth between Washington and Chicago endeavoring to get some Federal judge to send him to the pen, Ho even threatened to build a peni tentiary of his own next to the prison at Joliet, hire his own guards and war den and serve out his sentence of four and one-halt years. He was Interviewed In cities all over the country and denounced the attempt to keep him from the pen. Would 8ink His Ship. Another of his eccentric promt was that he would buy a ship, take all his family aboard, give his millions away to the people he was alleged to have buncoed with the aid of a lottery and sink the ship In midocean. All his promises, however, were un necessary, for- the fight of his lawyers In the courts availed nothing, and he was sent to Joliet to serve his sentence. After being there a short time he was transferred to Atlanta lost June. Not long ago It was seen that Oour daln's mind was affected, and after a thorough examination by prison sur geons he was declared Insane and he was ordered to the government asylam. Gourdatn originally came from New Orleans, and Is a millionaire several times over. He Is said to have made his money largely through lotteries, and It was for attempting a game of this sort through the malls that he got Into the clutches of Uncle Sam.

Bo satisfactory to the commissioners waa the statement made to the railroad commission Thursday morning by President W. T. Gentry, of tho Southern Bell Telephone Company, that It was directed that the matter before the commission practically be dropped, un less A. A. Smith, who brought a pier, for restoration of the night rates, should bring further facts to bear on the case. The hearing waa In the nature of an Informal one, but Chairman McLendon and Commissioners Hlllyer and Hill deemed the showing so strong that they held that Mr. Smith had failed to sub stantiate his allegations. At the same time the commission dl. rected President Gentry to furnish, as soon os obtainable, figures to show the actual effect on business since the night rate was taken off. President Gentry stated that these comparative figures were under preparation now, but that owing to abnormal conditions, existing because of the telegraphers’ strike, It might bo some time before such com* parlsons would be of real value. On September 1 the Southern Bell abolished Its night rates, giving aa a reason that It caused congestion of business during the time such rates ■wore effective. A. A- Smith, of the A. A. Smith Produce Companye-wrole the commission asking that an Investiga tion be mode and the night rats re stored. “Stock Worth $1,000.' BRADLEY’S HIGH FENCE CUTS OFF HOPPE’S LIGHT WILL BUILD Mr. Smith charged that Southern Bell stock, par value 1100, Is now selling for 11,000. He also complained of the withdrawal of the reduced rates on tloket purchases of 1100 worth. Thursday morning Colonel Gentry and Judge H. E. W. Palmer, assistant to the president, called at the office of the railroad commission at 11:10 o'clock by appointment. Colonel Gentry made a very clear and frank statement. I hold strongly to the view that the telephone business shouljl be under the jurisdiction of the corporation commis sion," he said. "I have always bitterly opposed municipal control of such bust ness, because In a multiplicity of views difficulties arise. T.he telephone bust ness Is a natural monopoly, and as such it should be under the supervision ot the ralli'oad commission. 'If there Is any business in the world In which there Is a mass of misinfor mation, or rather a lack of understand Inc, It Is the telephone business. We will be more than eager to furnish any figures or facts desired by this commis sion, because I believe the Intelligent understanding of our business by such a body will make for the general good. "Different From Telegraph.” "For the past two years telephone companies have been considering the uestlon of abolishing the night rates, _'he Cumber months ago. A night telephone mes sage differs very greatly from a night telegraph message. A night telegram Is received and sent at night when convenient, but Is not delivered until next day. In a night telephone message there must necessarily be tween the parties talking over the wires. We found that this night rate so —jgeited our wires handle the business money by congestion within a few hours. I am frank to say that the money Idea did not enter Into the mat ter at all, so far os applying the same rates day and night la concerned. “Mr. Smith's statement that Southern Bell stock is worth 11,000 per share Is founded on misinformation. I dare BBy any stockholder would be glad to get 1105 a share. I do not recall any stock ever selling above that figure. As for the ticket or coupon system, we abolished that several years ago. that arrangement we sold for 176 cash 1100 worth of tickets. In the entire ■even states of our jurisdiction we had exactly two contracts when that waa abolished. 'Another matter about which the public Is greatly misinformed Is the view held by so many that the South ern Bell takes a hand In politics. I can ■ay In nil truth that not only do we not do so, but no employee of the com pany ever has been, or Is Instructed, asked or approached as to who he should vote for In any election. In the last campaign our chief counsel was an ardent supporter of Governor Smith, i were many others In the company.” The commission will write A. A. Smith a letter telling him that unless new facts are submitted the cose will be considered at an end. County Rate of 6.5 Mills Fixed Thurs day. $100,000 TO BE FIRST PAYMENT County’s Income $558,100 This Year Over $374,- 564 Last. MR. BRADLEY’S FENCE IN INMAN PARK. Exercising the right vouchsafed to him by the law pf man to build what-' ever kind of structure he pleases upon his own property, S. J. Bradley, of 27 Hurt street. In Inman Park, has erected a hlgh-board fence separating his resi dence from one erected by Lewis D. Hoppe, which Is the wonder of all the residents of the neighborhood and the passers-by. The fence Is 2! feet high and 48 feet long. It reaches to the roof of the house built by Mr. Hoppe and extends back the entire length of the residence. It Is built along the line dividing the property of the two gentlemen named and Is situated about 2 1-2 feet from the house of Mr. Hoppe. - It was erected by Mr. Bradley about three weeks ago, and thereby hangs a tale. For nearly fifteen years the two gen tlemen have owned adjoining lots on Hurt street. Mr. Bradley occupied a residence situated near the center of his lot. while Mr. Hoppe paid taxes on a good lot for a house—or two houses, as Is now the case. .... . „- Recently Mr. Hoppe decided to build on his lot. which has a frontage of 100 feet, and ho accordingly drew plans for two houses. In order to get tiro houses oh the lot and give reasonable space between, Mr. Hoppe had to crowd'each house pretty close up to the dividing line on each side. As a matter of fact, one of them—the one with the fence on the side—butted up within about 2 1-2 feet of Mr. Bradley's driveway and In close proximity to his residence. Boeing what was about to be done, Mr. Bradley promptly raised an objec tion. Wanted Light and Air. "I moved out hero originally," said he, "to get light and air and plenty of room. If that house Is built that close to me I will get very little of cither, on one side at least.” Then he asked Mr. Hoppe, so he says, to put only one house on the lot. But one house didn't satisfy Mr. Hoppe, and he expressed his Intention to go on with the building. "I'll build a fence right up against It If you come close to me,” said Mr. Bradley. And he dl/l. The fence' Is there yet, and so la the house. Mr. Bradley says the fence will stay there and Mr. Hoppe could not be lo- ptttd to give an expression on what he intends to do about the house. By direct taxation Instead of bonds the county will raise the first 1104,000 to build the new court house. A tax rate of 8.5 mills on the dollar wae fixed by the county commissioners at their meeting Thursday, with the stipulation that 1100.000 of the total Income of 1651,000 Is to be set aside as a firs* payment on the new building, which It ts proposed to begin within a year. This rate of 8.5 mills Is an Increase of 1.7 mHls over last year. The Increase la for the express purpose of building the court house. Had the commission ers fixed the old rate of 4.8 mills and waited on the result of the 1100,000 bond election to be called some time In October, It Is probable that the bonds would have been defeated and there would have been a lack of money In the treasury for court house purposes. The figures showing tho Incomes for this year and last year are ns follows:; 1907—Taxes from 173.473.865 In property at 6.5 mills 1477,100.00 Railroad taxes and other rev enues 71,000.00 Total 1658,100.00 1906—Taxes from 168,106.750 In property at 4.8 mills ..1330,553.75 Railroad taxes and other revenues — .. 55.000.00 CH EMPTY SAFE 8t.

Bavannah, Go.,- Sept. 12.—George Dixon, colored, fell from the mfszen- mast of the schooner Josephine, ninety feet to the deck below, and was Instant ly killed yesterday. His arms and legs were broken In numerous places, his skull also being crushed, his Jaw bone broken and some of his teeth were later extracted from the deck. Total 1374,564.76 The new tax, in tho opinion of the commissioners, provides ample funds for the county. Should the court house bonds carry, taxes next year will be re. duced about 1.6 mills, provided the money Is not needed for other purposes. Total Tax Rate. With the 8.5 mills rate fixed by tho county the total for state and county this year will probably be 11.6 mills, as the state, it Is believed, will Imposa a tax of 6 mills. This will mean some thing over 1 per cent on property as valued on tho tax books. Present at the meeting Thursday were Commissioners Anderson, Palmer and Carter, composing a quorum. Com missioners Maddox and Rosser are ab sent from the city. There was no op position to the rate suggested by Colo nel Anderson and the action was unan imous. The general plan for the court housa will call for an expenditure of some thing like 1100,000 by the county. It city and county build together. Colo nel Anderson believes that the cost will be greater and both the 1100,000 by taxation and the 1100,000 by bonds will be needed. In this case there would ba no cut rate taxation. If the bonds never carry It Is tha plan of the commissioners to raise the money altogether by direct taxation, extending over three or four years— about 1100.000 per year. Bailiff Held Up. Two negroes armed with bricks held up Bailiff Lancaster of Judge Dod- gen's court at the corner of Lucklo and Magnolia streets at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. They had tho wrong man. for the bailiff draw his pistol and fired. The negroes ran down Mag nolia street. Plain Clothes Officers Brandon and Norris Joined In the chase, but the negroes escaped.
