Saloon men came, saw and conquered at the long-drawn-out session of city council Monday afternoon, which, after four and a half hours, adjourned to meet again Thursday at I o’clock, to complete the Immense amount of work before the body. Two things were accomplished Mon day. The opposition was' successful In getting the question of municipal con trol of gaa put ofT until another time and licensee were given to all the sa loon men who desired them. Aside from these, there was nothing done. From the time the meeting was called to order until the motion was unanimously carried to take a two- days’ recess a battle royal raged, In teresting from every view point. The sentiments expressed alone would have held the attention of the ‘‘rankest out sider, " and the underlying motives ac. tuatlng the moves and counter-moves heightened this, making the session unique. Military Park Report. The first, as well as the last, matter touched upon was that ot the national military parks, which, It la hoped, At lanta will be successful In getting an appropriation to build and maintain. The report of the large apeclal com mittee was accepted and a delegation will be appointed by council to take the matter before the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic this year In Minneapolis. When brought up at the closh of the session the bill to be presented by Congressman Livingston Atlanta need not be afraid of Infrlng Ing on the rights of the gas company, as It could not overstep the bounds one Inch without being submerged In law aults, and stated that the committee appointed to look Into tho matter had not even been treated with proper re spect by certain of the gee companyV attorneys, and that It was the duty of the council to vindicate the committee In these matters. Concluding, Mr. Key said: “Certainly, your honor, we are not going to allow the Atlanta Gas Com pany to settlo upon the rights of the cltlxens of Atlanta.'' Hammond Takes the Floor. On the motion of Alderman Key, the rules were suspended and Attorney T. A. Hammond, representing the gas company, was given the floor. Mr. Hammond based hla arguments was read and approved. Chairman Bd ■ of tne committee, mund VV. Martin, explaining that It was of paramount Importance to get the bill before the national body before It adjourned. , Enters Gas Report, TTie second matter taken up was the report of the special committee ap pointed to look Into the charter of the Atlanta Gaa Light Company. As chair man, James L. Key returned a minori ty report. It was decided to take up one proposition at a time and thus vote on each of tha six separately. At the last session of council, Alderman Joseph Hlrsch moved to table the en tire report aa soon us It had been read. Tills motion uas killed, but il mu sent back tp tho committee. After the first proposition, which Is to have the city attorney bring suit against the com pany to ascertain exactly how valid the gas franchise and charter are end what rights the city has, Aldsrman Hlrsch moved that the report of the majority be accepted. Three of the committee had voted against and two for the first proposition. Alderman Key, who saved the re- iort at the previous session of council y a timely speech after the undebat- able motion of tabling had been made, took the floor, end In no uncertain words expressed hie opinion of the manner In which certain member* of council were attempting to get lid of the question at Issue. “He’s Not Sincere,” Says Key. I don't believe," said Mr. Key, “that the aldermen is sincere in hie motion. From hie previous aotion on this im portant subject he does not oare wheth sr it is a minority report or a majority report which he moves to be accepted If the minority report wee against the proposition he would have moved to accept that. He it simply in favor of the gae company. Mr. Key continued by declaring that he could not understand the position of the council on the matter, that they were not even willing to pee whether or not the gas company has the rights It was exercising. Mr. Key then went Into a short discussion of the gaa com- mny's franchise. Amont other things te said that such a thing aa a perpet ual franchise was unconceivable to the mind of man. "After 2,000 years, why the franchise will be only In Its youth. It wilt be a thing Just started If It be perpetual." He then questioned wheth er there could be such a thing aa a per petual franchise. He brought up the taking over of the Gate City Gaa Com pany's property by the present com pany, which, he declared, was don# without legislative authority, and also that that company’* charter had ex pired by limitation. He discussed the awe of thirty-year limitation, the late state charter made effective many years ago, and the amendment to the * _ HAMwaeiw'a ntiorlae TTa not do without the company that It was a benefactor of the city; that the charter was granted flfty years back aa perpetual when the city was only a struggling village, and that It was aa good now as then; that the company had ahared the reverses and the benefits of the city, sticking to It through thick and thin, and that even If there were technical points which could take from the company a portion of Ita plant and franchise, all moral law was against euch. The latter por tion of Mr. Hammond's speech was almost entirely based on the gratitude th* city should feel to the gas com pany. The address was delivered In a heat' ed manner. Rising to a climax at one present gas company's chsrter. also took up the provision In the orlgl nal charter ot the present company confining It to operating within one mile of th* city’s center and th* pro poses and not for heating. He declared :hat these matters were for the cohrta to settle, arid that such a suit would not Injure the gas company Chat thought nothing of suits, having al ways a competent corps of attorneys. Further, Mr. Key‘declared, th* city of PRINTING, BINDING Lithographing AND NOVELTY ADVERTISING ed manner. Rising to a climax at i time, he exclaimed: "Mr. Key said ... committee that If the committee did not make a favorable report he would take the matter before council and If council did not see flt to voto favorably on the report he himself would fight It out. Your honor and gentlemen, do not take from him the honor. Let him fight ft out atone." He also declared, turning to Alderman Key, after stating that the committee had only voted fa vorably op the two portions of th* ordi nance to satisfy the one he was ad dressing, "Yes, then Is some satisfac tion you can have. You have already Injured the company by hurting tta securities." He asked If the city waa prepared to take over the gae works. “Is the city prepared to apehd 576,000 In the erection of a gae plant!'’ To the council he said that no matter what the city wanted, the men would not be afnld to do what was right and asked that the whole matter be dropped. Mr. Hammond was then questioned by Councllmen Tamil and Martin. Councilman Temll proposed to re- tommlt proposition No. 1 and Council man Martin moved that the whole re port be recommitted to be reported on again more fully. Alderman Key said If one portion of the report was sent back to committee he would rather have It all sent back. Mr. Key further stated that If there was a cloud placed over th* gas com pany aa had been stated by Mr. Ham mond, he could not see why they, lr they were In the right, were opposed to a suit He denied that he had made any such statement as that he would continue the fight If the council saw fit to turn the matter down, but on the contrary had stated that if the council turned It down he would feel that he had done hla duty. Mr. Ham mond said he must have mlsunder stood Mr. Key. Key’s Hot Rejoinder. In closing hla answering argument, Mr. Key said: “Maybe Mr. Hammond cannot understand such a thing as dl*' Interestedness, but I came to council, not to line my pocket* with money, but to win what he and all of us should strive to win and what we should be here for, to win the plaudits of those we represent. He may not understand this, but I do, end for this reason I have fought for thla matter which the public Is vitally Interested In.” The matter was then referred back to committee. Liquor Question Up Again. Although the dramatic features of the liquor question, the other matter taken up, were not aa pronounced as those In the gas situation, they were equally as Interesting. Th* feature, bordering on the ridiculous at times, was the "bark-elldlng” of some of those who had promised their support to the Mitchell street anti-saloon license. Af ter n long fight th* saloon*, seven In all, applying for licenses on Mitchell street, were given licenses and Gann A flsrrsux, 221 Simpson street, after being turned down, were also given a license. The first Vote on this saloon stood 10 to 10, when Mayor Pro Tern. Harwell voted against the saloon. When, on the motion of Councilman Terrell, this was reconsidered and It was explained that the proprietors would eliminate the negro feature ot the saloon, they were granted a license by a vote of 12 to I. A lather peculiar circumstance cropped out at thla juncture. Council man Oiass had led the opposition against granting the saloon license. Councilman Pattlllo arose and naked Councilman Glass If Gann did not man age the campaign for his opposition. Councilman Olaas arose to hla feet be fore the question had been completed, end, leaning over his desk, at the con clusion, declared In an excited vole* S FOR POLICE COMMISSION STARTS WAR AGAINST DRINKING. Asks Council to Stop the Giving or Selling of Drinks to Offi cers in Uniform. The police commission has set Its foot squarely down on drinking In the police department. In addition to punishing policemen for drinking, the commissioners are now going out after saloonlsts who sell or give Intoxicants to policemen while on duty or In uniform. On suggestion of Captain English, the commission Monday night appoint ed a committee, consisting of Com missioners Kranilon and uldknuw and Chief Jennings, to draft a suitable resolution and present to the city coun cil asking council to revoke the li cense of any saloontat guilty of thla offenee. discussing the matter. Captain English said; "We punish th* ofllcer* guilty of In toxication, and we should also provide some punishment for the men who cause them to become Intoxicated. lets as a bait am other purpose. The saloonlsts commit a crime every time they do this, and they should be punished. They should not only be prohibited from giving whisky to policemen while In uni form or on duty, but should not be allowed to sell It to them. This 1* a disgraceful practice, and should be broken up by this board at once.

That It waa traversed by “ going to and from the station, also spoke of those who had pledged their word to revoke licenses along the street In question, declaring that they had given their pledge to the people of Atlanta one year ago, and now that they were duty bound as men of their word to carry out their pledge.
