IS BEGUN By CITY EARLY SATURDAY Upward of *00 restaurant*, eating houses and lunch rooms will be closed by October 1. The rattle of the war drum :ia* been sounded and the eam- pHtgtj against these - "dives” now oper ating under city licenses has been smrted in earnest. The Roberts ordinance placing mictions around all restaurants and I eating houses was passed at the laat| session Of council. Saturday morning License Inspectors! It. A. Ewing and II. O. Kayes com- m< need delivering notices to the pieces under Are. These notice* are In the i o n of petitions to council and will have to be signed and returned before :/.• last of September. They will then be referred to the police committee, which will Investigate the location anal csMur the reports of the Inspectors as I to the.general character of the places. The petitions will then be referred bn.k to council and passed or turned down. Inspector Ewing said Saturday: "Nearly every restaurant and lunch h "iso In Decatur street will receive a cross mark, and If the ordinance Is enforced wilt be put out of business.” Inspector Hayes said: The lunch houses and ‘dlvea’ on Pe tal* stmat are even worse than those on Decatur. They will also be closed NEGRO’S WILD ORATORY I MADE MERCHANTS FEA R RACE WAR MIGHT COME Street Preacher Was Trying to Excite Blacks. V’ouncllman C. M. Roberts, author of ihf ordinance, .which was drafted the ft ret of last month, said Saturday: "The purpose of the ordinance Is to put an end to all this vagrancy. The negro** go Into these restaurants and there light and drink. Most of the amaller «ne« are located next to sa loons end are need by women who are not allowed to go to tbe bant. These •dives' have caused more trouble than anything else In Decatur, Ivy and Pe ter* etreets." The ordinance places around the restaurants and lunch rooms restrlc. tions almost as strict as those around the saloons. Proper iiermlssltm from the adjoining neighbors must be ob mined, the restaurant must not be lo rate,i next to a saloon and the owner moM be of good repute so tar as hts r< i ord in running such places Is con cemed. There are In Atlanta *60 restaurants, rating bouses and lunch rooms. Out of this large number only ten come under the head of restaurant. These tmd ihe better class of. rating houses Will m.t Be Interfered with by the or dlnancc. t.'nunrllman Roberts stated Saturday that the ordinance would tend to help the cltv's health to a great degree aa the lunch moms were selling stuff not rn to eat. Especially was this true of i lie Decatur and Peters street places, he said. EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD MAY BE NEAR Steed, of Carroll, and Alex ander Will Both Intro duce Bills For It. Senator-elect E. T. Steed, of Carroll, will Introduce a bill to extend the state mad to the sea on the first day of the fusion of the next senate. He made that statement at the cop Itol Saturday morning. He will also reintroduce and press to psesage his bill to elect the county school commis sioners by the people of their respective • "unties, just as tb* other county of. llcer* are. Senator Steed will represent the Thirty-seventh senatorial district In the senate. He I* the only candidate for president pro tern of that body. For the past two term* .he represented Canoll In the house. After attending to some business at tb* capital, Henator-olect Steed at tended the Sacred Harp convention, which opened It* three days' session Saturday at the Broughton Tabernacle. In speaking of the extension of the Western anu Atlantic, Senator Steed sal«f that lie would advocate making a direct appropriation for the common echooIs. taking part of the convicts lo put upon the extension and diverting th* rental of this road to this work. Aa the fertiliser fees will now go to the district colleges, being diverted from the school fund, he thinks It • lually advisable to withdraw this half "f ihi rental of the Western and At lantic from the school fund to aid lit thin extension, supplying this detlclt In tin- school fund with a direct appro priation from the state treasury. It Is also understood that Hon. Hoop er Alexander, of DeKatb, will again offer his bill for the same purpose In the next house, and the passage of one or the other of thee* measures see me now more assured than at any previous time In the history of state legislation.

Copeland. 62 yean old. •died at 12; to O'clock Saturday at a jirtvate sanitarium. The body was car ried to Gainesville, Ga., for funeral service* and Interment at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Fearing that the eloquent phrases of J. B. Williams, a negro and a leader among his race, would cause a race war, a number of the Peters street merchants have petitioned Mayor Woodward to revoke the permit grant ed the radical. Mayor Woodward notified the police Saturday to take In the license at the first opportunity. The petition was signed by J. Mayson, of the Maysoa Furniture Com pany: Campbell & Poole, 1(1 Peters street; J. B. Williams, the Reid Dry Good* Company. 166-176 Peters street: the Banknlght Furniture Company, 166 Peters street, and others. It Is stated that Williams, who re ceived hi* permit from the mayor by representing himself as a minister, se lected such texts as "The White Man's Crime," "The Lynching Question," "The Rigid of the Negro" and others equally sensational. It Is further stated that hi* eloquence would arouse the members of his race, who crowded around, to dangerous heights and that trouble of serious na ture would result If the preaching was not stopped. Mayor Woodward when he heard about the case derlared that he was going to put a stop to most of the street preaching. “After this 1 will not Issue permits to any other street preacher* nnless i know they are really worthy," said he. "I am going to call In nearly every one that Is out and make the negroes go to work. They are not do ing any good, but are only exciting other negroes and taking their earn ings." Williams dropped Into the fiiayoris olfice at an early hour and seemed to have been severed from all his sealous eloquence against the white man. "I’m a good nigger and want to do what’s right,” he said. ”1 do Inside work," he replied when some one offered him a Job of sawing wood. FUBNIM TICKETS Name Will Not Appear on Regular Democratic Ticket. "B. a. McLendon, Democrat; T. C. Crenehajv.” That Is the way the election blanks to be eent out to the various precincts by Secretary of State Cook read for railroad commissioner. The Socialists have no candidate for railroad commissioner, os they nomi nated their state ticket before the legislature passed th* law making these officers elective by the people. Candidate Crenshaw through a per sonal representative wanted Secretary Cook to place his name on the Demo cratic ticket. Becrelary Cook returned him word that he had no authority over that matter, as these tickets were printed and sent nut by the state Democratic executive commltee. It will be seen, then, that Colonel Crenshaw will have to provide his own tickets, reprinting the names of the other nominees with his name sand wiched In for railroad commissioner. Hie name Is on the ticket only where the Australian ballot system prevails. Friends of Candidate Crenshaw at the eapltol Saturday were making the contention that Nominee McLendon bolted the national Democratic ticket In 1896 and 1909, voting for Palmer anil Buckner In th# former campaign, and for McKinley and Roosevelt in the lat ter. If this fight Is carried to the hust ings In the next three and a half weeks, the contest tor railroad commissioner will assume more Importance than was attached to Mr. Crenshaw's meteoric announcement when first made.

ATLANTIC COMPRESS TAKES LAND OVER CANDIDATES .TALK' OFCOURTOFAPPEALS There we# filed In the office Superior Court Clerk Broyles on Saturday morn lag for record a warranty deed from the Capitol Compress Company to the Atlantic Compress Company for nlot of land lying on the corner of Pearl street and the right of way of the Georgia railroad. The consideration named wee 178,000. The date of the paper was August 31, 1806. At the same time was filed a deed of trust from the Atlantic Compress Com pany to the Savannah Trust Company, conveying to them not only the above mentioned lot, but aleo lots in Savan nah. Macon, Cordete, Thomasvllle and Montgomery, Ala., to be security for a bond Issue of It,000,000 S per cent 20- year gold bonds. The deed of trust was signed by C. C. Hanson, president of the Atlantic Compress Company. The funds realised from this bond Issue will be utilised In the Immense Improvements which the compress company expictn to make soon, and when these are completed the facili ties of tho Atlantic Compress Compa ny will probably be greater than those of any other company of the kind In existence. As told In The Georgian some time ago, a large amount of this money will be expended In Atlanta, making this one of the largest spot cot ton markets In the country. REPORT Of CLEARINGS SHOWS BIG INCREASE Atlanta's steady Increase In business Is clearly Indicated by the clearing house report for the week. Issued Sat urday morning. The Increase for the past week over the corresponding week last year Is something over $600,000. The figures are a* follow*: - ' .1 701,740.33 Saturday Corresponding day last year .. This xyeelf .. ,' Corresponding week last year “The king of France marched his army up the hill and then marched down again.” And that was what the convention of candidates for the proposed court of appeals did at at state eapltol Wed nesday. After an hour’a informal discussion among themselves, they reached the conclusion that It would be entirely Im proper tor them to make any sugges tion to the state Democratic executive committee and adjourned without tak ing any notion whatever. There were Just fourteen candidates, active and prospective, present. Thera were only "It" at first, but Judge Fos ter came In and broke the unlucky spell. Tho session woe held In the supreme court library shortly after the noon hour Saturday and adjourned after an hour's Informal talk among the lawyers present. Judge 1. M. Roberts, of East man, was chairman and Logan Bleck ley. secretary. Those present were: David M. Rob erts, Eastman; Bartow 8. Willingham. Forsyth: P. P. Proffitt, Elberton; Ar thur O. Powell, Blakeley; T. J. ehap- pell, Columbua; W. R. Hammond. At lanta; T. F. Greene, Athens; C. G. Janes, Cednrtnwn; Frank Harwell. La- Grange; E. P. Davis, Warrenton; H. C. Peeples, Atlanta; B. H. Hill, Atlanta; W. M. Henry, Rome; P. C. Foster, Madison. A letter from Chairman A. L. Miller, of the etate Democratic executive com mittee, to laigan Bleckley waa read to the meeting, stating that It was Impos- rtble for him to attend, but that he would with pleasure submit any sug gestion they might make to the meet ing of the state committee when they met next Wednesday. Three plans for naming these judges will probably be considered by the com mittee next Wednesday, as follows; 1. To nominate three candidates at th* October election to be voted for at the November election, a separate box to be put at each polling place In the J,700 districts In the state. 3. To call a primary election some time during October. 3. To let the candidates run It out in scrub race at the November elec tion. 0000000O000O0000D00C00000O TO CONVINCE WORLD PASSES ARE SAFE TO' HARBOR ENTRANCE Special to The Georgina. New Orleans, Sept 8.—New Orleans Is determined to show to the world that the passes at th* mouth of the Mis sissippi river forming the entrance to the harbor are perfectly safe to all navigation. Business men of the city through the Progressive Union today made a formal request upon Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte asking the ap pointment of a commission of com petent engineers to investigate and re port upon the depth of the water. This step Is actuated by a report coming from Washington that the bureau of navigation objects to sending the new battleship Louisiana here to receive the silver service that the citizens of this state have contracted for to present the state's namesake on the ground that It I* dangerous to tend the big ship through the shallow passes. . The rec ords show th* fear* of this character to be groundless. Every congressman and senator In the Mississippi valley has been asked te assist In securing this commission.

STOLElisowFcow, COUNTY POLICE SAY News Forecast of the Coming Week Washington, D. C., Sept 8.—Though there will be no Bryan home coming to enliven things, the coming week wlU not be entirely barren of political Interest. On Tuesday the Independence League is called to meet In convention In New York city to name William R. Hunt for governor of Nr York. The same day the Republicans of Ohio will assemble In state con vention at Dayton to name candidates for the state offices to be filled at the November election. The Indications are that Roosevelt Is to be the Issue of the convention. It Is believed that Senators Foraker and Dfck are inclined to prevent the convention indorsing the president In too strong terms.' On the other hand the president's followers have taken up the gauge of battle and insist that the president be approved In plain language. On Tuesday the Democrats of Connecticut are to hold their conven tion. Mayor Charles F. Thayer, of Norwich, appears to be the leading candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. The convention wlU Indorse Bryan for the presidency. Republicans of Colorado will meet In Denver to name a state ticket Still another event of political Interest will be the election in Maine on Monday. So far as the state ticket Is concerned, the election of the Republican candidates Is, of course, assured. Principal Interest centers In the result of Congressman Littlefield's fight for re-election in the Second district, where President Gompert, of the American Federation of Lub'ir, IiMH be»*n making hot speeches against him. The result <»f the congressional contests in Maine will be generally regarded as some indi cation of the way the congressional election* throughout the country will go Jn. November. An event of next Friday that undoubtedly will attract the attention of the country wlU be the unveiling of the McKinley memorial at Co lumbus. Ohio. Mrs. Nicholas Dong worth has accepted an Invitation to unveil the statue and the principal addresses will be delivered by Judge Day, of the supreme court, and Senator Daniel, of Virginia. The National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, successor to the New England Cotton Manufacturers' Association, will hold a two-days' meeting at Lake Champlain.

THIRTY-FIVE BOYS ARE RELEASED FROM THE WARD OF PROBATION AFTER PROMISING TO BE BETTER Thirty-five boys of varying ages and color who have for months felt the cords of the law binding their move ments, were aet at liberty Saturday morning after having proven their In tention of reforming. The walls of the court room at tha police station which have heard so many tales ot violence and crime, echoed only the recital of Juvenile troubles Saturday and word* of good cheer end commendation came frinn the bench instead of stern sen tences for malefactors. The efficiency of Probation Officer Qloer and the probation system was fully proven when the history of the probation boys was read. It showed that boys may be led by kindness Into a reform which no harsh Imprisonment can bring about, that Instead of being trained Into professional criminals by confinement with evil characters they may be brought to a sense of their own mistakes and led Into making a new beginning. On one side of the court room sat the probation boy* while on the other were their parents and a number of ladles of the various charitable and religious or ganizations who have been Interested n the work. Probation Ofilcer Gloer, the official who has proven himself the boys' friend and whom they have learn ed to trust Instead of fear, read the list of those who had shown Improve ment and were ready to be dismissed. Recorder Nash Broyles gave each boy a word or two of kindly commendation with advice to continue to be good. Under ths probation system a Juve nile offender Is not confined with com. mon criminals or sent to the stockade to serve a sentence. He Is turned over to the probation officer, who takes his address and requires him to make a weekly report os to hi* Habits. No pro bation boy I* permitted to remain idle. He must go to school or work. Every week they call at the office of the offi cer and report that they have - been working all the week and are behaving themselves. And moat of them tell the truth. If a probation boy I* arrested the second time sterner measures are used and he may be eent to the re formatory It the circumstances war rant tt. The boys ranged from 10 to 14 years, most of them bright looking little fel lows. Their crimes varied from theft to throwing rock* on the street. Four negro boys were on the llet white one Chinaman answered the roll when hie son's name waa called. Chines* Bey Goes to Celestial Home. George Lee, a young Chinese boy, was arrested nearly a year ago for ear. rylng a pistol. His father, Sam Sing T<ee, asked permission a tew months ago to send the boy back to China school, and this waa granted. Sam Sing Lee thanked the judge and the ofdcer smilingly when they scratched hi* boy's name from their HsL Mr. Gloer's report showed that nearly every boy waa hard at work and was being good. They were called up one by one before Judge Broyles and their history recited briefly. Some were smiling, some were almost crying, but not one seemed to be afraid of Officer Gloer, and he talked to each of them as to an old friend. When Judge Broyles announced that the boys would be freed from proba tion, he made a short address, In which he dwelt on the evils of cigarette smok ing and paid especial attention to tjic Star theater and Its reputation as resort unfit to visit. "How many of you smoke cigar, ettei?" asked the judge. "Be honest now." Five hands went up. There were several faces which looked ashamed. "How many of you go to the Star theater?" asked Judge Broyles. Only one hand was raised. "Those are two bad habits," contin ued the Judge, "but going to the Star la the worst. No decent woman ever goes there and no boy should go where he would be ashamed to see his moth er. Keep away from the Star, my sons, "Don't Smokt Cigarettes." ■And don't smoko cigarettes. They will ruin you. I'd like all of you to promise me that you won't smoke any more of them.” Several hands remained down on this proposition and one or two of the boys refrained from making any promises about the Star theater, but most of them appeared willing to try their best. Probation Officer Gloer made a short talk. 'We have been honest with you, boys," he said, “and we want you to be honest with us. The judge wants to see you do right and so do I. It would hurt either of us dreadfully to have any of you be arrested again. And don't any of you rorget that your mother Is the best friend you ever had or ever will have, and don't do any thing that will bring tears to her eyes. You may go now, and goodby.” "Court Is adjourned,” cried Clerk Preston. There were few dry eye* In the. court room as boys and pa rents filed out of the big doors. CITY’S RATE OF INTEREST IS LOWER THAN GOTHAM’S Although many rumor* are afloat aa to new candidates to All the vacancy In the water board and the vacancy In the water department, nothing new ha* turned up on either aide of tha fac tional light for the secretaryship or the commtsalonershlp.

"The per cent of Interest on the bonds for several million dollars on greater part of Atlanta's debt Is small er then that of New York city, which Is remarkable," said Starke M. Gro gan, statistician for the United States department of commerce and labor, Snturday morning. Mr. Grogan, who Is getting up the figures for the department's annual re port, checked up the debt this morn ing and was both surprised and en thusiastic over this feature. "New York city has recently Issued which she will pay over 4 per etnt. At lanta has out 33,200,008 with an aver age of 4 per cent." The total debt on Atlanta Is only $3,600,000, and, although there Is about $300,000 drawing a larger per cent, this Is on bonds Issued many years back. "The rate ot Interest paid by cities Is usually much higher than that given by Atlanta. The small Interest shows that the city Is on an exceptionally sound foundation," BUND CANDIDATE OSBORNE IS RELEASED FROM STOCKADE J. B. Osborne, the blind Socialist candidate for governor who was ar rested several days ago and placed In the city stockade, has been released under the condition that he will not expound his views on the public thor oughfares. The release* was signed by Mayor Woodward Saturday morning. Councilman Walter A. Taylor, who was acting recorder when Osborne was tried and sentenced to 30 days In the city stockade, communicated with the mayor and asked that the release be signed. It was claimed, through Attorney H. M. Patty, representing O*home's broth er, that the Socialist was unable to pay the fine and that the brother, who is a poor farmer, would have to stand the cost. , The proviso to* the pardon Is rigid. The mayor atates that everything will be done to keep street speaker, from blocking the thoroughfares. FORGOT TO OPEN COURT HOUSE FOR SOCIALISTS. "I Just forgot that they hod request ed permission to meet at the court house," explained Clerk Henry W. Wood, of the county commlsloners. In regard to a Socialist meeting which as not held Friday evening. The So- lallsts had arranged to hold a meeting to protest against the incarceration of their blind leader and gubernatorial candidate, J. B. Osborne, tor speaking on the street without a license. They gathered at the court house Friday evening with the Intention of holding their meeting In one of the court rooms. But the watchman wouldn’t let them In because he hod not been told to. Mr. Wood had failed to give him instructions to permit the meeting. And now the Socialists are complain ing that they were discriminated against because people Insist on asso ciating Socialism with anarchy. The Socialists had made preparations to hold the meeting and had distributed hand bills over tbe city announcing Its object. After waiting and talking the matter over (or about half an hour, the little group which hod gathered broke up with the Idea that they had been dis criminated against and neglected. Mr. Wood said this morning, however, that It was simply a cash of forgetting and hts action was In no way meant as a alight. Mr. Reynolds Changes Position. Special In The Georgian.
