Ik, In the eelectlon of "cope."
The city father,. In regular session
assembled Tueaday, decided, after
long and ardent debate, to aelect the
nropoaed forty new member, of the
force by examinations. The examina
tion, will be the same as laid out In
the civil service ordinance. The sum
of SS.400, favorably reported on by the
finance committee to defray the ex
pense of the addition, was passed. The
"green cops" will be on their beats
October 1. It Is believed that the In
crease will greatly decrease the visitors
to the recorder's court and generally
have a good effect on the lawless ele
ment of the city. /
This Important matter was taken up
Immediately after the opening of count
ell. The rules were suspended and At
torney Linton C. Hopkins, representing
a special committee of some thirty
cltlsens and the public at large, was
given the floor.
Mr. Hopkins opened hi, address with
n sketch of the prevailing conditions.
He stated. In substance, that the pres
ent prosperity and large wages given
negroes made It possible for that race
to work one day and loaf five; that
the saloons on Decatur street were
doing an unprecedented business, and
that there are forty of these saloons
wlthlh four blocks on Decatur street,
and on Teters street fourteen within
two blocks.
Continuing, Mr. Hopkins said: “To.
day our women are prisoners In their
own houses. They dare not walk on
the streets at night and In the suburbs
they can not be left In safety even
during the day. There have been five
or more of the most diabolical outrages
committed In Fulton county during the
past few weeks. The people want a
remedy. They do not want Ku-Klux
Ktnns, but better police protection.”
Only One “Cop” to 2,200 Citizens.
He then showed that there was only
one policeman on duty to every 2,100
citlxens. He then asked that the civil
service be eliminated from the pett
tlon.
Alderman Key asked why the civil
service would hurt the measure.
Mr. Hopkins stated that It might
cause a delay.
Alderman Key then stated that he
was the author of the civil service
pr ivleo, and did not see why It should
not be passed. “It Is a peculiar thing
to mr,<’ said Mr. Key, "that this council
should knock' the civil service ordl
nance every time It Is mentioned.
When It was brought before this body
every member voted for It. Your ac
tlon. gentleman. Is not consistent.

being selected by the members of the

for a delay, who will dare fly In the
face of public opinion at such a timet
Tell me that, who will cause the delay?
If there Is such a man on the police
board, then he should not be there."
The wording of the amendment was
then slightly changed by Alderman
Qullllan and the ordinance passed.
Qes Report Deferred.
Because of the unusually large
amount of business before council,
was deemed wise to allow the report
of the epeclal gas Investigating com
mlttee go over until the next session
of council. There were a number Of
' cltlsens, aside from the representative,
of the monopoly, In the council cham
ber to bear what will be the outcome
of the long-delayed report. It Is safe
to say there will be a hard light put up
before the council by Alderman James
L. Key, representing the spreading pub
lic sentiment, and by the gas com
pany’s attorney and president on the
other hand.
Tile resignation of J. W. Kilpatrick
from the water board was accepted.
It la believed that the resignation was
tendered In anticipation of the secre
taryship of the water-works depart
ment.
Two petitions asking that the city
council take a hand In the working of
the railway company and demand trail
ers for the use of negroea on certain of
the city lines, were, referred to the
committee on electric and other rail
ways.
This matter I, causing much Interest
and It Is believed that the public senti
ment will prevail.
An ordinance by Councilman Rob
erts, requiring all restaurants and
lunch houses to get their licenses only
after the location and conditions have
been Investigated by council,
adopted.
An ordinance by Councilman Martin,
defining a “dive" as a place where
liquor Is sold and Immoral conduct
carried on. was adopted. There will
be a fine Imposed on any one convicted
of running such a place.
Franchise Net Acted On.
The ordinance giving franchise to the
Southern Gas Company was read and
laid on the table until the next session
of council. It Is probable that tha or
dinance will be then adopted with the
numerous provisos, among which Is
one giving the city the right to con

An ordinance by Councilman Pome
roy was adopted, which effects a com-
pr.unlse with the Georgia railroad In
the matter of building a foot bridge
from Decatur street over the tracks

street crossing.
A resolution by Alderman Sims and
Councilman Glass was adopted, which
will Institute an Investigation by the
city engineer and city attorney Into
the need of more bridges and under

A resolution requesting the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company to fur

BRYAN EXPLAINS HIS REMARKS
ABOUT OWNERSHIP OF ROADS
By Private Leased Wire.
Chicago, Sept. 6.—Regarding hi* remark* anent government owner-
thlp of railroads, Mr. Bryan, In hi* speech here yesterday at the lunch
eon given by the Iroquois Club, said:
"I stated what I thought with the exception that everybody else
would pxprrlsp the *aim* fxvrdom In the dlx< ussl«»n of the question. I was
led to my conclusion* by the • »»rniptlon of the people of the United
States by the railroads as I have seen It In my judgment we have no
more corrupting Influence in American politics than the railroads. It
has corrupted the people by the pass. I have known conventions to be
controlled by passes. I have known Judge* to be elected, by railroads,
and I have reached the conclusion that this corruption can not bo
eliminated until these natural monopolies become the property of the gov
ernment. I am opposed to centralization nnd because I believe that the
state can best do that which concerns the state alone, because I be
lieve In the doctrine of self-government, therefore, I prefer that instead
of having all the railroads- owned by the Federal government, wc should
have the local lines owned by sta e governments and only the trunk
lines owned by the Federal government.”

Law.
es
Tha exemption of lawmakers does
not run after lawmaking is over.
Therefore, when State Senator W. D.
Mills, of Cherokee, faced Judge
Broyles In the police court Wednesday
morning he stood not upon the dignity
of hfs position, but pleaded tha mercy
of the court.
Senator Mills had a hangover. He
remembered the events of the day be
fore, but dimly, ns though a glass be
clouded. All he remembered was that
he had remained at the capitol after
the close of the legislature In order to
complete certain reports necessary to
the welfare of the state. This labor
completed, he had sallied forth to cele
brate ana had celebrated not wisely,
but too well.
Patrolman Terry, who directs the
massing throng at tho corner of White-
mil and Alabama streets, was called In
to arrest Mr. Mills Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday morning the senator,
sadder and wiser, explained to the of
ficers thnt ho should be exempt from
nrrest, being h member of the general
assembly, and thus above the Jurisdic
tion of earthly courts, unless charged
with murder, treason or sedition
against the sovereign stote. The turn
key heard him patiently and eent him
up to court.'
Before tho recorder the senator made
no defense. He only ssked that merry
be shown and when assessed 16.76 for

quent night's lodging ho merely begged
that an officer be detailed to accom

TO LYNCH BLACK
Officers Capture George Mc
Henry in Time To Save
• Him From Mob.
A lynching of a negro by a negro mob
waa averted early Wednesday morning
by the prompt action of Call Officers
Dunton and Gallaher, and the offend
ing negro, George McHenry, was
lodged behind ateel bars In the police
station. He 'was accused - of shooting
Into a crowd and wounding a negro
woman and her little boy.
A negro row. In which McHenry was
the central figure, arose near Ellis
street and Piedmont avenue, about
midnight. During the trouble McHenry
fired a revolver Into the crowd and
wounded a woman named Hettle
Griggs In the stomach, the bullet first
passing through the shoulder of her
6-year-old son. The two were sent to
the hospital.
The nngry negroes began a chase of
McHenry, determined to shoot or hang
him, but he escaped and was captured
a short distance away by the officers,
who responded to a telephone call. He
was locked up with a charge of assault
with Intent -to murder registered
against him. The wounded negroes are
not hurt dangerously.

U. S. TO PAY WIDOW$75,000
FOR DEPREDA TION OF A RM Y
Dr Private Leased Wire.
New York, Bept. 6.—To right a
wrong committed by the soldiers of
the Union under General McPherson
during the civil war, the government
has decided to settle the claim of Mrs.
Florine Austin Albright for 678,060.
Mr*. Albright la the sole survivor of
an old Louisiana family, lives at No.
HO West Sixteenth street, and Is well
known In New York society.
For forty years she has been con
ducting her fight against the Federal
government, part of the time assisted
by her husband. Attorney General
George W. Albright.
Mrs. Albright’s father, Colonel Ster
ling, hod an Immense plantation In Car-
roll Parish, Louisiana. He was loyal
to the North. He was afterwards as
sassinated. Hla son also was killed.
During the war Colonel Sterling had
occasion to leave hla plantation. In
hla absence General McPherson's men
stripped It of cotton, fodder, mules,
horses and cattle. One hundred and
sixty slaves were also turned loose.
The form was devastated by breaking
the levee and flooding the land. The
loaa amounted to 6600,000.
The fight against the government
then began. Mre. Albright recently
waa awarded 660,060 by congress and
she *1111 .has pendtnx even larger
clalma.
In a news story printed last Satur
day afternoon advocating municipal
ownership of the gas and electric
lighting plants, The Georgian made
mention of an Incident where B. W.
Allen & Co., printers at 51-2 South
Broad street, had been subjected to ar
bitrary practices. Among other things,
the story contained a statement to the
effect that E. W. Allen & Co. had been
forced, by threat of having the power
turned off, to pay for a meter which
had been melted In a fire which caused
between 17,000 and 18,000 damages.
That was an error. Mr. Allen was
NOT forced to pay for the meter. He
did receive a bill for more than $70.
It was Itemized for meter destroyed
by Are In hls place. He did refuse
to pay the bill. The Georgia Railway
and Electric Company officials did In
sist that the bill be paid. Mr. Allen
refused point blank. The officials told
Ing the Georgia Railway and Electric
turfl off hls electric power and put him
out of business. He told them to turn
It off.
But Mr. Allen did not stop with tell
Ing thme Georgia Railway and Electric
Company to turn the power off. He
consulted nls attorney. He told hls at
tomey Just how the fire occurred. The
attorney took the matter up with the
Georgia Railway and Electric Compa
ny. He requested the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company not to Insist
upon the payment of that bill for the
meter. But the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company did insist
Then the attorney for Mr. Allen, who
happened to be Reuben Arnold, did I
bit of Insisting. In that suave, per
auoalve manner for which he la well
known, Mr. Arnold conveyed to the
Georgia Railway and Electric Company
the Information that if payment of that
bill of $70 was Insisted upon any fur
ther, why he would go to work and In
stltute suit against the Georgia Rail,
way nnd Electric Company for setting
Mr. Allen's printing establishment on
fire. He Somehow convinced the Geor
gia Railway and Electric Company—
Mr. Arnold has a way of doing those
things—that he would stand a pretty
good chance of getting a verdict before
a Jury. So the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company stopped insisting
that the meter be paid for.
Mr. Allen aaya he wants the facts
to be known. He says there Is ab.
solutely no doubt about tbe arbitrary
practlcea. But he says he does not
want the Impression to go out that he
paid for that meter.
Also he says the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company people have been
after him about It.
