= nr THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY, 6FFTEMBER 5. 190«. COUNCIL AUTHORIZES 40 NEW POLICEMENI W. J. BRYAN SCORES SULLIVAN AND REPUDIATES INDORSEMENT Gas Committee’s Re port Carried Over Till Later. Politic, seems at U«t to have been eliminated from the police force—that 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. There la an old custom of policemen being selected by the members of the pi dice board. In the present case each member will select five policemen. Whether they are good, bad or Indlf. ferent. It' will make no difference—they will have to be put on, and this for political purposes. It the ordinance was ever good. It I, rood now. This amendment will In no manner put the police under civil service. It will simply eliminate the political feature from the police force and place in the BATTLING NELSON MADE DELIRIOUS BY CANS’ BLOWS!

As 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 demn the property and to buy it for Its Intrinsic value. 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 to Oakland cemetery at the Yonge 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 passes west of Forsyth street. A resolution requesting the Georgia Railway and Electric Company to fur nish street car passes to the super- numeries of public schools was re ferred to the committee on electric and other railways. A resolution by Councilman Foster was adopted requesting the police board to Investigate the saloons on De catur street and report to council. k To Investigate Railway.

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.” TOO MUCH WHISKY SENT SENA 7 OR TO PRISON CELL W. D. Mills in Clutch of the 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 hl» evening's pleasure and the suhse- quent night's lodging ho merely begged that an officer be detailed to accom pany him to tbe pawnshop across the street 'For the senator was out of funds. He was hold over until he could communicate with his friends, 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. ‘LEG BAIL” FAILS; viously untrue that It ought not to have deceived any one.

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. REVOLT LEADERS ARE BY UJ, Flags and Dynamite Taken in Raid on Mex- By rrirate Lonsfnl Wire.
