The action of the police commission
In withholding reward money frdm,
members of the force and turning It;
Into the police relief association took I
,, new and interesting turn Saturday j
when Police Commissioner Howard
mtlllo declared the action of the com
mission was entirely illegal, and came
out In a strong statement In opposition
to the movement.
Sir. Pattillo asserts that only four
members of the commission were pres
ent when the plan was decided on. and :
mat, ns this number does not constl- j
lute a quorum, the action was void,
sir Pattillo Is strongly In favor of the
reward money going to the individual I
uolicemen who earn it by catching j
criminals, and does not hesitate to say I
lhat the members of the force are be
ing treated unfairly.
The police relief association will meet
‘taturday afternoon and It Is expected
Lome dehmte action will be taken look
ing to the remedying of the present
dissatisfaction existing among the po
licemen. On account of the’ feeling
of the men a movement has been start
ed It Is understood, to have the relief
association petition the police commit
Linn to rescind Its action.
T\'hen seen Saturday by a Georgian
reporter and asked for a statement,
Commissioner Pattillo said:
"I was not present at the meeting
when the commission decided to take
the reward money from the members
Of the force, but I am satisfied the
action was illegal. Only four members
of the commission were present and
this Is not a quorum. Following the
meeting the minutes were sent to me
to sign, but I refused to concur In the
action on the reward matter, and so
wrote on the minutes.
"I am opposed to the action because
I believe It Is an Injustice to our po
licemen. And my main reason for op
position Is the fact that If you deprive
the men of the rewards, to which they
are Justly entitled, It removes a strong
Incentive for them to do their duty.
If a policeman risks his life and cap
tures a criminal for whom a reward
has been offered It Is nothing more
than right that the officer should re
oelve the reward. When you take I
out of his pocket and turn It Into the
police relief association you strike a
fatal blow at his interest In his work.
HU Incentive to capture dangerous
criminals Is gone. If a person wants
to offer a reward and some policeman
earns that reward. I see no reason why
It should not be given to him.” .
Mr. Pattillo cited one Instance of the
commission's action that he termed a
decided Injustice. This was the taking
,,f a 150 reward from Policeman Har
ris and giving It to the relief associa
tion when Officer Harris is not even r
member of the association. The police,
men say they feel thoy have done their
full duty to tho association when they
pay their regular monthly duos, and
say they think they ahould not be de
prlved of their reward money.

SAMUEL WATKINS GOODE.
He was one of the beet known
real estate men In Atlanta until
Ills retirement
After an illness extending over a
period of several years and which cub
mlnated in a stroke of paralysis lust
Monday, Colonel Samuel Watkins
Goode, for many years one of the beat
known real estate dealers In Atlanta,
died Friday afternoon at the family
residence, 17 East Pine street.
For many years Colonel Goode was
recognised as one of the most progres
sive business men In the city and In
the earlier daya of the city his activ
ity did much toward making Atlanta
the thriving metropolia that it Is to
day. Six years ago he was compelled
to retire trom active business life on
account of feeble health, but his condi
tion has been closely watched by the
host of friends he made during hie
career, and hie death, though not un
expected. Is greatly deplored by all.
Colonel Goode was born In Stewart
county In 1847. He was a son of Dr.
Samuel W. Goode, a physician of
prominence. At an early age he en
tered the Georgia Military Institute at
Marietta and at the outbreak of the
war he followed Colonel F. W. Capers
In defense of the South. In the bat
tles around Atlanta he was wounded
In the shoulder by a minis ball and
after he recovered was assigned to
duty with the engineering supply de
partment.
After the war Colonel Goode studied
law at Albany, N. T., after which he
practiced In Savannah and Eufaula,
Ala. In 1881 he removed to Atlanta
and engaged In the real estate busi
ness and also formed a law partner
ship with General Clifford L. Ander
son. His close attention to business
compelled hta retirement about six
years ago.
In 1872 Col. Goode was married to
Miss Jennie Kendall, of Eufaula. She
died In 1876. leaving two daughters
who are Mrs. Henry Porter Williams,
of Charleston, and Mrs. Augustus M.
Anderson, of New York. Colonel
Goode was again married In 1882 to
Mias Ltssle Stone, of Kentucky, by
whom he Is survived. Their children
are Mrs. Isaac Hardeman, of Char
lotte, and Miss Julia Goode.
The funeral service, conducted by
General Clement A. Evans, assisted by
Dr. C. B. Wllmer. will be conducted
from the family residence at 10:88
o'clock Sunday morning. The Inter
ment will be In Oakland cemetery.
Atlanta, Macon and
Brunswick.
Atlanta, Macon and Brunawick are
preparing to combine to push vigor*
ously the proponed Atlanta and Great
Western canal, which will connect the
Mississippi valley and the Atlantic
coast, making both this city and Ma
con important Inland portts. The
chamber of commerce of the three
cities are already Interested in the
movement.
Colonel C, P. Goodyear will probably
bo employed by the three cities per
manently for the purpose of having a
representative of the proposed canal
movement at all water%*ay meetings
throughout the .country. Colonel Good
year has Just returned front .1 meeting
of the Tennessee River Improvement
Association at Knoxville, where he se
cured the earnest support of President
Patton, of Chattanooga, the new head
ot the organisation. Preaident Patton
in his speech indorsed the great canal
project and said that a visit to Europe
had opened his eyes to the fact that
waterways are becoming Important
the world over.
A waterway convention Is to be held
in Birmingham on November 19 and
Atlanta will send representative# to
urge the adoption of a policy by the
meeting looking to the construction of
the Atlantic and Great Western canal.
As a delegate appointed by Governor
Smith, Colonel Goodyear will go to
Philadelphia to attend the canal con
gress which will consider the construc
tion on a coastwise canal. Colonel
Goodyear will also make an effort to
secure £he support of the body for the
Inland canal. On December 4, 5 and 6
colonel Goodyear will be present st
the meeting ot the National Rivers and
Harbors Association In Washington.
