a i i lil A i L'A-Si A MUNICIPAL ownership FIGHT BEGINS TUESDAY First Guns of Battle LABOR CELEBRATES ““ST 11 wn cities (JAS PROBLEMS TO GO TO COUNCIL Special Committee Will Adopt Report and Send It to Council. The tight for municipal ownership sill commence with renewed ardor on Tuesday morning In the committee room and be waged In council, at the adjourned meeting In the afternoon. The special committee appointed some months ago to Investigate the fran chise of the Atlanta Gas Light Com- uany will hold session at 10 o'clock, dimes L. Key, chairman of the com mittee along with several other of the members, and backed by thousands of Atlanta citizens who have clearly ihown their atrong Inclination toward city control of public utilities, will, it u believed, succeed In getting council to adopt a report providing for munici pal Inspection and an investigation into the legal merits of the franchise, as well as getting an ordinance passed changing the city charter so as to make It legal for the city to own and operate a gas plant. These Ihree point* are all deemed essential. The first will protect the cit izens from any imposition the gas company might be guilty of. while It mil holds a monopoly. At the present time there is no way of protecting the citizens through the city laws. The second. It Is believed, will result In the gas company's charter being fund null and void. The third will give the citizens the opportunity to build a gas plant, for lvhlch they so unmistakably clamored In the last electlofi. The Investigation of the gas fran chise has been watched with the great est of Interest. Despite the efforts to side-track It at every turn, both In council where the committee has been readv to report and has reported sev eral times, and In committee. After fighting the matter In commit tee, Mr. Key succeeded In getting two provisions of his former report report ed upon favorably. One of these pro vided for municipal Inspection, the other for a change In the city charter, allowing the citizens to decide whether or not they wished a municipal plant and making It possible for the desire lo be carried out. When this report reached council an effort wns made to table It. This was not successful and the report was sent back to committee. Since the voice of the people has called so loudly for municipal control It Is believed the opposition to other features of the report will not receive such bitter opposition as here tofore. . ■ • i .■ ) Because of the'"national holiday, council will meet, only to adjourn Mon day, and for thla reason the gas fran chise matter will not he taken up until Tuesday. At the session of council Thomas H. Goodwin, who hnd munici pal ownership as the chief plank In hts mayoralty platform, will appear before council and speak In favor of munici pal ownership. It Is probable that other citizens will appear. THREE SPEAKERS OF THE DAY Hundreds, of Excursionists in Meridian to Partici pate in Festivities. Spec lit 1 to The Georgian Waycross, Ga..

We went to Tan gier yesterday and he arrived at Gi braltar two hours after we salted. The boat pn which we were returning pass ed the boat on which he wa* going six miles out of Gibraltar. He passed »o close to us that we could distinguish the passengers on deck. His Money Tied Up. We discovered that he had $12,000 In a bank in Tangier. Steps have been taken by Assistant State's Attor ney Olsen to tie his money up, and If possible restore' It to the swindled de positors. I was told a story of a woman scorn ed that led to the finding of Stensland's trail. One of his numerous friends who thought she had been shabbily treated put the correspondent In pos session of the first hint as to the fugi tive’s whereabouts. Her Information was Indefinite, but Investigation provetl Its probable accuracy. Finally, on August 18, It became cer tain that he was In Tangier and had been fdr sixteen days. He fled from Chicago on Sunday, July 12, went di rect to New York and took the White Star boat sailing on Tuesday for Liver pool, and stayed In that town two days. Stensland then took the P. nnd O. boat, reaching Gibraltar on July 27. There he immediately took the boat for Tan gier on the northern coast of Afrlcn, the original haven of the Moorish pi rates of olden time, who held the record for freebootlng until the modern thiev ing bank president put them back. The correspondent and Mr. Olsen sailed from New York on the Kaiser Wilhelm II on Monday, August 20. Banker's Track* Plain. Paris was reached on Monday and was’ left Tuesday noon. Madrid was reached Wednesday afternoon and Gi braltar twenty-elx hours later. Saturday morning the boat was taken for Tangier, the Moorish city being reached early In the evening. All last night and until 4 o'clock this afternoon the Investigation proceeded. At every town Stensland's tracks were uncovered and the last clew pointed to the Grand Hotel at Gibraltar. Stenslund arjived In Tangier July 28 by the steamer Olbel from Glbrnltur. He apparently made previous Inquiries regarding the hotels, avoiding the large and prominent ones such as Villa de France, Cecil and Continental. Registers at Norwegian. He entered the city gate, walked to the Grand Hotel Oriental, it Is perched on top of a hill and Is the most promi nent building in the ranks of dazzling while and blue skies that rise terrace on terrace, till the summit Is crowned. It la the resort of Europeans and by a strange coincidence la the place where an absconding railway auditor of At lanta, Ga., was captured through the efforts of United State* Minister Gum- mere, six years ago. Stensland registered as "P. Olsen, Norway.” He was given a room over looking the aea with a view of the Spanish shore in the distance. For one day he kept to his room, complaining of a cold on the lungs. The affliction waa real, and for a few days he was a sick man. The day after hla arrival he amazed Proprietor Philip Sterwlnd by exhibiting, ns Sterwlnd said, "an awful lot of money and a great number of big bills." As a banker Stensland knew which was the best bank In Tan gler, and mounting a mule with i small satchel In hand, rode to the Comptolr Natlonale D'Escompte, where he said he wanted to make a deposit and open an account. Handed Out 112,000. When he dumped $12,000 on the counter the eyes of the clerk bulged out and lie called M. Gaurant, the governor, who questioned the prospec tive customer. The money was In American bills, English bank notes and French notes. Stensland In answer to the governor’s Inquiry, said he came from America, and when further ques tioned as to why he curried money In such shape nnd had no letter of credit, Negroes Staying Away From Polls and Dem ocrats See Victory.

Very few negroes are voting In thl* section of the state. It la predicted that John S, Little, Demo cratic nominee for governor, will re ceive a majority of 25,000 to 40,000 over Worthington, Republican. Adams, Prohibitionist, and Hogan, Socialist, had a warm contest over liquor license. They claim they will carry all counties now wet and three that have heretofore been dry. The Republicans claim a gain of two state senutors and ten representatives. John II. Page, secretary of the Dem ocratic state committee, says the Dem ocrats will not lose a single senatorial district nor u single representative from the Democratic counties. He be lieves the school amendment to the constitution, Increasing the school tax from two to three mills, will receive a favorable vote In every county. The ticket being voted today Is aa follows: Governor—John 8. Little. Democrat, Sebastian county; John I. Worthington, Republican, Carroll county; John G.

Lawrence Battle, Hus band, Is Worth $125,000. j DREW PISTOL ON 'WIFE Says Husband Is Habitual Drunkard—Wants $50,- 000 Alimony.

Stensland'* explanation of his reason for carrying cash wa* puerile, and M. Guurant thought he was doing business with a criminal of some kind. The French notes especially were re garded with suspicion, the banker* sus pecting they might be counterfeits. He wa* loo polite to say ao, but shipped them to .Maraellle* and Pari*. They came back In ten days guaranteed. As soon as Stensland left the bank, M. Gaurant sent for Hotel Keeper Ster wlnd and asked If he knew anything nbout his guest, saying he thought there was something wrong. 8w*,t on Dancing Girl. Stensland'* attendant at the Moorish dance hall waa Senorlta Vancell, a Spanish girl from 8evll!e, who per forms an exceptional fandango at the Cafe Imperial. Her partiality for him aroused a feeling of Jealousy In the breast of an Arab chief, who enjoyed the smiles of the maid until Stensland appeared on the scene. Every morning Strnsland was an early visitor to the big soko or market place. At the hotel he formed ac quaintance with n professor from the University of Cambridge, who Is a bit of a globe-trotter. He wanted to eee Southern Spain and finally Stensland decided to take a two-week*’ trip In the southern part of Alfonso's country. This taking of Ills foot off what he re garded as protective soil Is a little as tonishing, but In keeping with 111* whole conduct In Tangier.
