Key has drafted resolution which he will Introduce In council at the adjourned meeting Tuesday afternoon calling attention to the fact that the Atlanta Northern Railway Company, which operates the street car line to Marietta, Is using a franchise to run Its passenger and *x press cars over the streets of the city without compensation to the city or permission from the municipal author! tie*. The resolution does not stop thsrs. Curiosity Is not the only thing which prumpts Alderman Key. He wants the city attorney to take the matter up and report back a plan of procedure for the city to enforce compensation. Text of Raselution. Tbs resolution, which tells the story. Is ns follows: "Whereas, The Atlanta Northern Railway Company la using a public franchise to run Its passenger and eg. press cars over iht streets of Ihs city of Atlanta; and, whereas, said com pany has no permission of the munici pal authorities to exercise such rights, and the city does not receive any com pensation therefore, “Resolved by the mayor and general coQncll of the city of Atlanta. That the city attorney be requested to Inquire Into the use that said company Is pul ing the streets of the city of Atlanta to in running their said cars, and report what the rights of said company are to the use of Ills streets, and what the remedy of the city of Atlanta Is to enforce compensation for the rights to the use of the streets." A Little Histsry. Behind the name of the Atlanta Northern Railway Company there la a little story. It dates back to the time when the Atlanta Rnpld Transit Company and the Atlanta Consolidated Street Hallway Company really did consolidate. There was a clause In serted In the permission given by coun cil stipulating that the consolidated company was to pay, the city 3 1-3 per cent Income tax. This was agreed to. The city has been getting Us Income tax regularly, But when It rams to building the Atlanta Northern Railway Company the Income tax was a consideration. So It was decided to change the name of the company. Therefore, the At lanta Northern. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company owns the Atlan ta Northern Railway Company. The formality of securing a franchise was dispensed with—also the formality of paying the city the 2 1-2 per cent In come tax. Hence the resolution of Alderman Key. There promises to be something do Ing. ANOTHER OAY SPENT IN COURT HEAR! OF CHURCH IN FIGHT Much Matter Seemingly Irrelevant Introduced Saturday. Another day has been spent by the lawyers retained by the two factions of the church, which was formerly known the First Cumberland Preebytarlan church, of Atlanta, |n efforts to con' vines Judge Pendleton of the equity of their contentlone. The better part of. the court day was taken up by E. N. Underwood, representing the “loyalist" faction, which opposes union with the Northern Presbyteian church. Much matter seemingly Irrelevant In getting at the legal status of the two factions of the church has been Intro- duced, but moat of It hie been admit ted by the consent of both parties to the litigation. The petitioners filed In evidence an affidavit signed by Judge J. H. Fussell, of Columbia, Tenn./the chairman of the “loyalist” movement; T. A. Hanson, of Jasper, Tedn., and J. J. McClellan, all of whom were preaent. This docu ment dealt with the whole progress of the union movement up to the present time. All three have fought the Idea of uniting with the Northern church from the start. They were all at the aaaem- bllee at Dallas, Texas, Fresno, Cali fornia. and Decatur, III. • In their affida vit they claim that the course of the movement for union between the Cum berland Presbyterian church and the Presbyterian church In the United Rtates (Northern) was defective and Illegal. Judge Pendleton considered portions of this affidavit Irrelevant and cumbersome to the record, but It was admitted without Objection. In combating the claim that the financial affalra of the church had been carried Into the union and that the church could not support Itself as a Cumberland church, a paper signed hy J. H. McCord tvas filed pledging that If the petitioners were given the church they would financially maintain It. Affidavits as to Finances. The attorneys repreasntlng the ma jority of the members of the church, who favor union, filed Saturday morn ing' an affidavit In answer to one filed Friday by the loyalist attorneys. The affidavit filed Saturday morning show ed that Rev. J. A. Whltener, who has been supplying the local pulpit for the opponents of union since the tempora ry Injunction against the unionists was obtained, gave a pledge In 1901 for 86 IRATE MR. SULLIVAN BUILDS FENCE EIGHTEEN. FEET HIGH TO HIDE HIS NEIGHBOR SCOTT It as the paramount Issue. Mr. nryan raid that one thing the great railroads and other corporations did was “the corruption of young men nil over the country who ally themselves with them and not with the people." What Roessvslt Doss, In his speech on the commons In New llnven, Mr. Bryan said, among other things: “The trouble with the president has been that when he tried to do anything h' bad to whip the Republicans Into lino with the Democratic platform In- rtead of the Republican platform. And the trouble with the Republican iwrty In this campaign Is that Its tnollo Is: ■'Stand pat, defend what you have uml don't promise anything more.’ "They say stand by the president! Well, my friends, the only way you can stand by the president If he really wanta reform Is to give him a Demo cratic congress to back him up Instead of a Republican congress." STRONG OPPOSITION TO UNION STATION The neighborhood around Glenn anil Grant streets and Georgia avenue Is aroused over a "spite fencee—the Indig nation running high ns the fence, which Is IS feet heavenwards. The fence Is the work of B. W. Sullivan nnd a competent corps of carpenters. The obstacle to breese and benuty Is a work of art from llte view point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there Is no! only the skeleton of a two-story structure, but the framework of quite a little history. Many j’ears ago W. M. Scott, at prea- ont one of the best known renl estntc dealers of the city, who has hla office at 72 North Itroad street, purchased the lot at the corner of Glenn and Grant streets. The lot extended back some 200 feel on Glenn street and had a frontage of 150 feet on Grant. In purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put tn tho deed I he proviso that no house be tween the residence he would build and the corner of Georgln avenue should extend closer than r>o feet to the side walk. He then built hla home, a IS- room, l-story, stone nnd frame build ing of elaborate design. Things went well. Across the street three other houses were erected, all 3-story and some dis tance hack from the sidewalk. l/.-pae were occupied by E P. Burns, K. I*. King and the Messrs. .Keddell, sinn ing from Glenn street and running to ward Georgia avenue. At the corner of Georgia nvenue there was erected a Presbyterian church. After several years II was derided by the trustees of the chtirrh to sell n portion of the church lot. 8. W. Sullivan bought it and erected a small collage near the street line, thus culling off llte view of the other houses and giving a ragged appearance to that side of the street. Mr. Scott In consultation with the owners of the three houses across the street, declared that lie would object to the cottage. This got to the ears of Mr. Sullivan. latter Mr. Sullivan bought the lot next to the Scott home and nlso the third lot from the home. On the lat ter he built a frame house and ex tended a large heavy poroh over the stipulated 60-font line. E. Hopkins, who owns the adjoining property, made no objection, and so Mr. Scott let the matter slip. One month ago, however, after returning from a trip to Atlantic (Tty, Mr. Scott was surprised to see the framework of a house next to Ills. He found that the builder was Mr. Sul livan, And sent him a letter stating that he would not allow the house to he built over the 60-foot lino. Mr. Sul livan continued to build nnd the house extended seven feet past the line. Mr. Scott held a consultation with hla at torneys nnd last Wednesday enjoined Mr. Sullivan. The work wai slopped on the portion of the house extending over the line, while the other eontlnued. Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Scott, who had been away from their resilience during the day, returned nnd were again surprised. Between their properly nnd the Sullivan property was the ISx60-foot "spile fence." Mrs. Scott was told by her servants that Mr, Sul livan had set his entire corps of car penters at work on the fence ami hud hammered throughout the day, even ufter sufficient nails had been driven through the boards to build an ark they had continued to hammer. Mr. Sullivan will appear In court on September 6 to show cause why he should not tear down the portion of his structure which extends over the 60-foot line. nnd that no part of this amount had been paid. This Hally contradicts hla affidavit of yesterday, which tvas to the effect that to unite the churches would pervert the trust of the money he had paid In. After the filing of these documents, E. M. Underwood, of tho counsel for the anti-unionists, began his argument about 10 o’clock and took up practical ly the whole of the remainder of Sat urday’s session. He argued that the part of the mem bership which left the church and Joined another could not hold the prop erty. He held that the power of, a church to amend did not carry with It the power to destroy, and thnt tho General Assembly of tho Cumberland Presbyterian church hnd no right to agree to unite with another church, thnt this power was not granted In the constitution of the church, and that whereas It was not specifically allowed It was denied. The Negro Enters Question. The difference In tho status of the negro In the Cumberland Presbyterian church and (ho Presbyterian church In the United State* was a subject of part of Ills discussion. Ho admitted that such changes had been rnnde ns would put them Into separate organizations, but urged that It would be possible for them to come Into white presby teries and synods. He sought also to show numerous other doctrinal differ ences. Judge John M. Gault, of Nashville, Tenn., of the counsel for the unionist element, follows Mr. Underwood. With the closing of the morning ses sion the henring adjourned until Mon day morning. CUBAN REBELSINSUL T THE AMERICAN FLAG; PROPERTY NOT SAFE Revolt Is Spreading Over the Whole Island. By MANUEL CALVO. Special Cable—Copyright. Havana, Sept. 1.—In addition to the usual batch of skirmishes and raids by rpbel bands In Santa Clara, Havana and Plnar del Rio, there are .ominous reports current today that the flag of revolt has been raised In the province of Santiago. The government denies the reports, whits friends of the rebels declare - that the whole province soon will be In arms. 1 In the three western provinces t< which the .revolt seems largely con' fined, the situation Is serious. The rebels are growing ugly towards for eigners and the number of Instances In which the property of Americans, Germans and Englishmen are seized and their flags Insulted are growing. If this keeps up It Is feared there will be complications which will compel American Intervention. Believing that the government has hired men to enlist tn hla forces to as sassinate him, Colonel Guerra, of the revolutionary forces, has shot Apr!re* Ranches as a spy. Pinned to his shirt was a card with the inscription, "For Treason." .
