The city father*, In regular seanlon as-embled Tueaday, decided, after a Inuand ardent debate, to aelect the proposed forty new member* of the force by examination*. The examina tions will be the same aa laid out In the civil aervlce ordinance. The aum of $1,400, favorably reported on by the finance committee to defray the ex pense of the addition, waa paaaed. The “green cops” will be on their beat* October 1. it la 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 waa 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 cltfxen* and the public at large, was given the floor. Mr. Hopkins opened hla address with a 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 saloon* within four blocks on Decatur street, and on Peters street fourteen within two blocks. Continuing, Mr. Hopkins said; "To day our women are prisoner* In their own houses. They dire 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 outrage* committed In Pulton county during the past few weeks. The people want a remedy. They do not want Ku-Klux Klnns, but better police protection." Only On* “Cop” to 3200 Citizens. He then showed that there waa only on* policeman on duty to every 2,200 citizen*. He then asked that the civil service be eliminated from the peti tion. Alderman Key asked why the civil aervlce 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 proviso, and did not see why It should not be passed, "it la n peculiar thing to me," said Mr. Key, “that this council should Itnock' the civil aervlce ordi nance every lime It 1* mentioned.

Whether they are good, bad or Indif ferent, It will make no difference—they will have to be put on, and this for political purposes. If the ordinance waa ever good, It I* rood now. This amendment wilt In no manner put the police under civil service. It will elmply eliminate the political feature : from the police force and place In tho positions men who are mentally, moral ly and physically able In nil them.

Tho. wording of thC amendment wae then slightly changed by Alderman Qullllan and the nrdlnnnce passed. Qat Report Deferred. Because of tho unusually largo amount of business before council, ft was deemed wise to allow the report of the special gas investigating com mlttee go over until the next session of council. There were a number of clttsens, aside from the representatives of the monopoly, In the council cham ber to hear what will be the outcome of the long-delayed report, it la safe to *ay there will be a hard fight put up before thr council by Alderman James L. Key, representing the spreading pub- . lie sentiment, and by the gas coin- . pnny's attorney and president on the , other hand. The resignation of J. \V. Kilpatrick from .the water board wae accepted. It 1* believed that the resignation was tendered In anticipation of the secre taryship of the water-works depart ment.

There will be a fine Imposed on any one convicted of running such a place. Franchise Net Acted On.

"I don’t want to name the man who came to me.” said Gans, "but a man who Is very close to Nolan visited my training quarter* some day* ago and asked If I thought I would have trou ble making the weight.

I was led to my conclusions by the corruption of the people ot 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 railroad*. It has corrupted the people by the pass. I have known conventions to be controlled by passes. I have known judges to be elected by railroads, and I have reached the conclusion that this corruption can not be eliminated until these natural monoyollcs become the property of the gov ernment. I am opposed to centralisation and because I believe that the state enn 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 Iry the Federal government, we should have fhe local lines owned by eta e governments and only the trunk lines owned by the Federal government."

He remembered the events of the day be fore, but dimly, as though a glass be clouded. All he remembered was that he had remained at the capltot 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 and had celebrated not wisely, but too well.

Wednesday morning the senator, sadder and wiser, explained to the of ficer* that he should be exempt from arrest, being a member of the general assembly, nnd thus above the Jurisdic tion of earthly courts, unless charged with murder, treason or sedition against the sovereign state.

Special to The Georgian. Savannah. Ga., Sept. 6.—The poet- offk'e clerk* took up the morning In hearing the report of the. resolution* committee. One resolution called for the same consideration in vacation* to be extended to mall clerks as to de partmental clerks, thus giving a month Instead of two weeks. The final session will be held to morrow, at which officers will be elect, ed an.l the place for the next meeting chosen. 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 E. \V. Allen & Co., printers at 61-2 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 ot having the power turned off, to pay for a meter which had been melted In a fire which.caused between $1,000 and $8,000 damage*. That was an error. Mr. Allen waa NOT forced to pay for the meter. He did receive a bill for more than $70. It was Itemised for meter destroyed by fire In his place. He did refuse to pay the bill. The Georgia Railway and Electric Coibpany officials did In sist that the bill be paid. Mr. Allen refused point blank. The officials told Ing the Georgia Railway and Electric turn off his electric power and put him out of business. He told them to turn It off. Hut Mr. Allen did not stop with tell ing thme Georgia Railway and Electric Company to turn the power off. He consulted his attorney. He told hts at torney Just how the fire occurred. The attorney took the matter up with the Georgia Railway and Electric Compa ny. He requested the Georgia Railway nnd Electric Compuny 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 suaalve manner for which he is 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 says he wants the facts to be known. He says there I solutely no doubt about the arbitrary practices. But he says he does not want the Impresslon-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 CAPTURED BV 0, S Flags and Dynamite Taken in Raid on Mex- By Private Leased Wire.
