LAST OF GROUP
Coffee and Little Soon To Be
Released From
Prison.
With tho release from the Federal
prison on December 29 of P. S. Coffee,
formerly o farmer and mill owner of
Henry county, tho sensational counter
feiting case which stirred Atlanta In
1904 will be revived.
When Coffee receives his liberty,
there will be only one remaining In the
prison and he will be released shortly
after the first of the new year. The
mat of tho group which caused ono of
Atlanta’s nine-day wonders la J. N. Llt-
The others of the group received
shorter sentences and have been en
joying liberty for some time.
Tho case which sent four Atlanta
men to tho prison and caused tho ar
rest of two others occurred In 1904*
and the plot to float *18.000 In "phony"
bank notes was nipped by secret serv
let officers. ,
It was charged by the government
that Coffee was the man who furnished
the money to have the counterfeit
plates made. J. N. Little, who will re
ceive his liberty early In 1908, was
charted with having been the go-be
tween and the man who secured an
engraver to do the crooked work.
Oscar McMtchael and Clarence W.
Rebb were two pressmen who were
convicted by the government and sent
up. It was charged they printed tho
queer and that WUl Wynne made the
plates. Wynne confessed and was
used by the government as a witness.
He admitted helping to mako the plates,
and Implicated another, but no convic
tion was secured In tho case of the
alleged accomplice.
Coffee and Little were sentenced to
pay a fine of 81,000 each and to serve
four years. McMtchael and Rebb got
1500 each and two years. The cose
against Wynne was quashed by tho
government.
Arrests were made soon after at.
tempts were made to pass some of the
money. Theso led to tho finding of
the plates under tho floor of a local
print shop and of 813,000 In queer
money burled on the outskirts of the
city.
y NEW FACES
IN HEALTH BOARD
Terms of Members Expire
and New Men Must
Be Elected.
The personnel of the board of health
will have a very changed complexion
next year.
The terms of Bernard Wolff, G. H.
Brandon, C. J. Vaughan and J. C. Har
rison expire on the first Monday In
January, and In addition W. T. Winn
and Alonso J. Johnson, who have been
elected councllmen, have resigned from
the board.
Mr. Brandon, who Is president, will
be re-elected without opposition. C. J.
Vaughan will not stand for re-election.
It Is stated, and Dr. W. L. Gilbert Is
slated to succeed him.
W. T. Winn, who resigned at the last
session of council, has been succeeded
by M. C. Strickland. Mike Ersklne
will probably succeed A. J. Johnson,
who will also be In council next year,
and who resigned at the lost session.
Bernard Wolff will bo re-elected
without opposition. J. C. Harrison,
who takes a seat In council next year,
will probably be succeeded by John
Owens.
Councilman C. W. Mangum may be
re-appointed chairman of the sanitary
committee, which will entitle him to a
seat with the board. It Is possible,
however, that J. C. Harrison will get
the chairmanship of the sanitary com
mittee.

PROMINENT NEGRO
CHURCHMAN DEAD
A letter which Councilman Walter A.
Taylor has received from tho mayor of
Milwaukee will upset tho whole pump
problem again Monday, from all pres
ent Indications.
This letter deals with the pump the
Wisconsin Engine Company built for
the city of Milwaukee, and Councilman
Taylor, after reading It, will offer a res.
olution providing for the appointment
of a committee to visit Milwaukee and
Investigate the facts there contained.
’Till* only vertical pump the Wiscon
sin Engine Company has ever con
structed of the type of the one proposed
for Atlanta Is that at Milwaukee, and
representatives of the Wisconsin Com
pany represented to the committee and
to council that this pump has given
perfect satisfaction.
The council’s decision was based
largely on the Impression that this
pump has been doing satisfactory work.
It Is probable that council will adopt
the resolution by Councilman Taylor
and that the committee will visit MU
waukee. If the committee reports un
favorably on the service being done by
tho Wisconsin pump, the city will be
where It was about ten months ago on
the pump question.
The letter from Mayor Becker, of
Milwaukee, came In response to a re
quest from Councilman Taylor for In
formation In regard to the pump.
Following Is that part of the letter
dealing with the Wisconsin pump:
“December 10, 1907.—Mr. Walter A
Taylor, City Councilman, Atlanta, Qa.
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of
tho 6th Instant, etc., will say that the
contract for tho first engine with the
Wisconsin Engine Company was
awarded December 2, 1904, and their
guarantee to have the engine ready In
regular service was within twelve
months from date of contract award.
This engine was started September 25,
1906, and has since been In operation,
except when shut down for alterations,
at different times since started. Con
sequently It has not been In regular
service long enough to determine Its
efficiency and Anal acceptance has not
been given.
"The contract for the second engine
was awarded In August, 1906, to the
Wisconsin Engine Company on account
of their price, being 318,500 under the
next lowest bidder, and was to be
placed In regular operation within
twelve months thereafter. At the pres,
ent time the first parts of this engine
are at the pumping station and erection
work has Just begun. Our engineers
estimate that It will be ready for op
eration about May, 1908. Vours truly,
"SHERBURN M. BECKER.
"Mayor.”

NEW WATER BOARD
NAMED ON MONDAY
The nearer tho time comes for the
election of members of tho water board,
ths more doubt seems to exist as to
who will be chosen.
The election Is on Monday. The
terms of Frank P. Rice, of the Eighth
ward; W. S. Duncan, of the Third
ward, and Frank G. Lake, of the
Fourth ward, expire.
The opinion prevails at the city hall
that Mr. Rice will be re-elected unan
imously. He states positively that he
will not accept the place. George Win,
ship, Sam D. Jones and Eugene Calla,
way are mentioned as his successors.
In the Fourth ward, Alderman Joseph
Hlrsch has been mentioned, but It
seems that a legal point will keep him
out. It Is very likely that Mr. Lake
will accept the position for another
term.
In the Third ward, Alderman Holland
has been mentioned, but the same legal
difficulty Is In his way that confronta
Alderman Hlrsch. It Is stated that he
will resign his position on the alder-
manic board In order to serve, but there
is some doubt as to whether this will
remove the difficulty.
Others who are mentioned for the
place are J. A. Fischer, Albert Bellln-
grath and Will Dunn.
Councilman Hancock, who Is chair
man of the waterworks committee and
cx-offlelo members of the water board,
will be appointed chairman of the
streets committee next year, and will
not again be appointed chairman of the
waterworks committee.
It Is believed that Mayor Joyner will
appoint Councilman-elect Steve R.
Johnson chairman of the waterworks
committee.
Frank P. Rice, president of tho wa
ter board, most positively will not be a
candidate for re-election to the board,
nor will he accept the place under any
circumstances, because—
Mr. Rice will be a candidate for
council from the Eighth ward next
year, and If he Is elected to ths water
board this will prevent.
This Is the, Information given out by
one who says he knows and one who
Is most probably In a position to know.
Frank G. Lake will be a candidate for
re-election to the water board! He says
so himself. He will probably be re
elected without apposition.
From tho Third ward, It Is said Al
derman Holland has retired In favor of
W. E. Dunn. Mr. Dunn wilt have no
opposition, It Is said.

Special to The Georgian.
Savannah, On, Dec. 14.—Judge
George T. c’ann yesterday Issued an
order that In the future all uncontest

assigned. Judge Cann does not like the
notoriety Chatham county gets because
all the uncontested divorce cases are

court. The Judge believes that too
much publicity Is given to the trials of
divorce cases when they come all to
gether, as they have been coming under
the rules of the court.
