— THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WKI'NKNDAY. JULY 4. IX*. the GEORGIAN NEWSIES HAVE 15 RUSS UNO 17 HITS DEADLOCK IS BROKEN CRIPPLED VESSEL A GAY FOURTH OF JULY PARTY GIVES ATLANTA GAME! AND CAPTAIN CHOSEN Two Hundred of Them Are Fed on Sweets, Then Taken, Shout ing and Shooting, to See Atlanta Wallop' Nashville. By SELENE ARMSTRONG. The Gsorfllan gave a Fourth of July party. All the nett-ales were Invited t 0 r 8 a. m, and, though a few swells came late, fully a hundred boys hail assembled long before the appointed * , °They had heard wonderful stories of cake and lemonade, cornucopias nnd flags, which were to be distributed by "Mr. Tony," who Is the good fairy of The Georgian carriers, anil who Is master of ceremonies at every enter tainment given for them, and they had reserved a fund of good spirits for the occasion. As soon as one entered the big hall It was to be seep that the party was Informal. Here a scuffling contest was on and such cries as "Punch'm hard," “tVhyn't yer ketch ’Im by tie hair?” proved the lively interest of the spec- '"InYnother comer a disagreement which had terminated In a tight was being amicably settled by an older boy, much to the sorrow of the group which surrounded the contestants. "Ain't you ashamed? Mr. Tony ought ter make you kids skldoo before de lemonade an' cake comes on," said the big boy, nnd the terrible sugges tiveness of his . words Immediately •tilled the angry passions of the two amnll boys who had disagreed. Then the bugle Bounded, and order was restored eo quickly that a sus picious person would have Bold the boys thought It was cake time. The muster of ceremonies pointed to one of the assistant society editors who was having the best time of her life, and said, "The lady will make you r speech." Off came caps, and the poor, fright ened society assistant was confronted by scores of eager. Interested, smutty faces. You may be sure It was the most awful moment of her life. "She’s Ssssisty,” He Said. "She's Saaslety,” whispered one of the boys dramatically. "I done seen her in dere where them women writes about de parties." "She's Saaslety," the whispered words went round, and the poor wom an feared that the game was up. It would take a big message for these boys. She spoke a few words to them and then said, “Now, here's for ‘My Country 'TIs of Thee.’” On the Instant a hundred lusty throats took up the words, and sang them with a will. "Now, three cheers for The Geor gian," and the noise they made! Then great tubs of lemonade, and the beautiful crackers with pink and white Icing, which Harry Schleslnger had donated' for- the occasion, were brought In. "Doc Fish” Was on Hand. The boys lined up. In the very front ranks was "Doc Fish." who told us weeks ago that he was going to quit the profession. "I jes goes to de parties," he said, "when dey don’t Interfere wid my reg- lar bis.” But what his new profession Is. he didn’t say. Then, too, there were Mike and Abe Klein, of whom all the boys are very proud. Mike, the older brother, la 6 yenrs old, and says he has been a carrier for two years. Abe refused stoutly to tell his age. A lonely little figure was seen perch ed In one of the windows, waving two enormous flags. He was so frail and diminutive that he probably stayed away from the lemonade' tub for fear of being rruahed. "What Is your name?” some one asked who took him some refresh ments. "Dewey," he rsponded gravely. Off They Go. At 9 o’clock they were put Into the great wagons and were driven away to the baseball game, shouting lustily for The Georgian. "Mr. Toney.” the Fourth of July, cheering everybody and every thing, Every one of them had a meg aphone, donated by the Koca-Nol* company. It seemed to them a good old world. For the party had just begun. At the Ball Park. The advance on Piedmont park was s triumphal procession. In front of The Georgian’s office the boys were piled Into big wagons, decorated with flags and atreamers, and they were driven slowly down Alabama street, along Whitehall and then out to Pied mont. And no circus parade ever made more anise or attracted more attention. Every boy In the lot yelled contln- uously at the very top or his stout young voice every Inch of the way, nnd the spectators on the sidewalks were so Impressed with the stout show ing and the loud noise, that they applauded and cheered aa the kids drove by. The entry to Piedmont park was only prevented from degenerating Into a scramble by vigorous work on the part of those who had the party In charge, assisted by the, local police force and spectators. For awhile It looked as CHINN WAS BLOWN UP IN THE FOURTH OF JULY BATTLE. ^JJEY'RE Punk t>oSE FEL.I_E.RS - HEY. &ILLY ? Cartoonist Brewerton has taken as the subject for this sketch in his “Studies in Expression,” one of The Georgian news boys at the Fourth of July game at Piedmont Park. though the militia might have to be called out. When the Inside of the park was gained there was a merry scramble for the top seats of the bleachers, and here the party lodged, and here it re mained during the long game. And maybe those boys did not have a large and elegant picnic. It mattered not to them that, the seats were hard, that the sun was hot and that the game was of the kind commonly known as "town ball." It was real base bill, anyway, and there they were In those coveted bleacher seats. And there were the teams, and Jim Fox knocked a home run, and Atlanta won by a tremendous •core, and altogether everything was very lovely. After the game was over the boys were marshaled Into a large and quite Irregular column, and In broken order they marched back to their convey, anccs. And all of them, looked happy even then, for there was still the ride bacl! to anticipate. The return trip yva» made slowly, and It was nearly 5 o'clock before the last wagon drove up and unloaded Its car go of happy newsboys. Altogether The Georgian party was a.huge success, and It will be long be fore the guests ' will forget Ihe cels bratlofl. DRAWING MATERIAL At John L.

PATROLMAN JETT LANDS THE PLUM Death-Blow Dealt to Civil Ser- ' vice Proposition, It Is Believed. Unexpected developments and In terne surprise marked tho meeting on Tuesday night of tho board of police commissioners, when the Glbraltar- llke deadlock that has prevented the election of a successor to Former Po lice Captain Moon for several weeks was suddenly broken Into "amlther eons" by Commissioner Oldknow. After the commission had persist ently failed to get together on a po. lice captain and It appeared as though an election was an Impossibility, Com missioner Oldknow bruko loose from the ties that hove bound him to the "civil service" faction since he has been on the commission and voted with the *'antl-rlvll service," or Eng lish faction, electing Patrolman K L. Jett captain. Incidentally, the election of Jattglvos police civil servlco a black eye. The four commissioners who have maintained that the civil servlco sys tem Inaugurated some tlmo ago by the old commission wns svuld, feel that they have won n algnnl victory and declare civil servlco In reality will not become effective until April, 1007, the tlmo fixed by tho leglBlntlvo enactment, unless all members of the forco should resign before that tlmo to accept civil service. Jett Wouldn't Resign. The new captain Is one of tho six toon policemen who refused to resign at the time civil servlco was Instituted by romnil.-Mlon. Tho sudden change of Comndettonsr Oldknow to tho KmkIIhIi fait Ion has created a sensation In police circles nnd among city polltlrlons and has aroused II10 I .Mayor Woodward, who appointed him to the office. Mr. Oldknow Is a member of the police commission by reason of the fact that he Is chairman of the police committee of the city council, which chairman ship he has held for two col SUITS let m < li> a|i|i.iliiliin nl of 1 In- mayor. i'll" I",I a, 11,01 ,,r 111" 1 Iiil'.slon", has . 11 - • 1 [i. 11. .

When seen ^Wednesday morning In regard to the matter, Mayor Wood ward did not hesitate to denounce I'ldknow tn strong mid unmistakable terms. It did not require a peep through n magnifying glass to discover the expression of ijjW M tho mnyor’e face tut ho spoke of tho desertion of his appointee. The anger woe (00 plain. When asked for a public expression of opinion ns to whal ho thought of the commissioner’s change of front. Mayor Woodward, hie features resem bling n panorama of disgust, merely remarked: “I don't care to say anything for publication. 1 have no desire to asso. date with him In any way.” Not only Is the mayor wrought up, but It Is understood that the other members of the faction with which Mr. Oldknow hns been aligned are also '•ore.” With the support of Commissioner Oldknow, the "civil service" faction had tho commission completely deadlocked and so long ns he Blood firm there was no election of n captain. When he faced about and lined up with the Eng list) faction, however, It wns easy sail. Ing and Jett was chosen captain with, out having to stand a civil service ex. amlnatlon. In Executive Session. ' After transacting the ordinary rou. tine business of the monthly meeting, the commission went Into executive session at 10 o'clock and the question of electing a captain was brought up. This naturally developed a discussion of civil service and the commissioners freely expressed fhelr views. During the discussion Commissioner Morris Brandon presented a written opinion from City Attorney Mayson, In which the latter held that the commis sion could not sleet a successor to Cap tain Moon for life. Civil eervlce mesne election for life, and consequently the opinion of the city attorney was a rul ing on civil service. It was a knockout blow. Home of the commissioners, how ever, did not accept this ruling, the same old division of opinion manifest- ig Itself. Finally, Chief Jennings was request J to name four or five members of the force whom he thought would make a good captain, and It waa plain that an election was on tap.
