Claiming that white people are be ing crowded oft the etreet cars by ne groes, that the cars are not being run on schedule time, that the Georgia Hallway and Electric Company offl clals are not complying with the state laws and are doing nothing to better matters, James F. Saunders, 62 Lake avenue, along with a number of other dtlsens living In the neighborhood of Lake avenue, has petitioned council to take a hand In the deplorable state of things and make the railway com- he petition commences with speci fying the lines on which the cars are In a bad state of disrepair, giving the Pittsburg and Irwin street routes In particular, then comments on the seat ing arrangement. Then It continues by stating that In the afternoon the nepro baseball playea and negro "fans' 7 crowd the cars ti the exclusion of the white peo ple, a|ld when there Is no room In the back of the cars crowd to the front, taking seats with the white people and r get necessitating the whites to stand or oft the cars entirely. The petition claims that Mrs. J. Saunders was recently crowded off car by negroes gaming from church. The negroes took possession of the car at the corner of Houston and Pled' mont streets, so It Is stated. It li claimed that the Irtvln street cars are off schedule about three days out of the week, and that when the officials are appealed to It Is claimed by them that there has been a breakdown or a car has left the tracks for the smooth er traveling surface of the cobble stones. The names of some of those mention' ed In the petition follow: Mr. Cobb, 1 Lake avenue; 'A. C. Brooks, 86 Lake avenue: Mr. Haynes, Irwin street, between Hilliard and Jackson; Fred Morris, 10 Hall street.

BAD BOY IS ARRESTED A T REQUEST OF FA THER WAS THE ASSAILANT OF MISSES LAWRENCE QUIETLY LYNCHED ? Clem Fortner, 18 years old and way ward, was arrested at the Star theater Thursday night and locked up at the police station at the request of his father, who wishes to turn the boy from bad associates and force him to make something of himself. The fath er told his story Friday morning at the station. J. P. Fortner, the father, lives on Hemphill avenue, outside the city lim its. He seemed much affected as he talked of his son. "Clem lust won't behave himself,” he said. “He has run away several times and I don’t know what to do with him. He suns with several bad boys In the neighborhood. “Some time ago Clem ran away with two other boys and hoboed It through South Carolina for several weeks. He returned all ragged and I'm afraid to put clothes on him for fear he’ll run away again. RAPLEY CHESHIRE REPORTED BEtTER By Private leased Wire. Washington, Aug. SI.—Rapley Cheshire, the old newspaper man form erly of Atlanta, who attempted suicide Wednesday night by shooting himself In the right breast, was pronounced much better today by the physicians at the Casualty hospital. His condition Is critical because the bullet Just graved his right lung and a hemorrhage is always Imminent and would mean quick death. “Last night I heard that he was pre- paring to leave again with the same set of boys. 1 couldn't keep him at home any way I tried. He Just will not work. He Insisted he w as going to leave, and so I sent some officers to the Star theater after him and they locked him up. “I want to send Clem to some re formatory where they trill keep bln* for twelve months and try to straight en him out. If he Isn't better by that time I want them to keep him until he Is 21. 1 don't know what steps to take." Mr. Fort nor was referred to Proba tion Officer Oloer for advice about his son. Officer Oloer has charge of cul prits under 16 years of age, but will probably be able to advise the father as to the best steps to take to cure even an older boy of wandering pro pensities. Young Fortner will proba bly be released from the police station If his father desires It. There Is a well defined rumor afloat to the effect that the negro who as saulted Miss Lawrence near Copenhlll last week was captured a few days after tho crime was committed and dealt with in a summary manner. It will be remembered that It was re ported that several negroes had been caught and were In the hands of a mob, and that very suddenly the mob dwindled to nothingness. The rumor, of course, cannot be substantiated, but cltlsens of that section of the county and city will not deny that they be lieve there may be more or less truth In the story.
