PEOPLE RALLY TO CALL FOR OWNERSHIP

PROMINENT MEN GIVE
RINGING INTERVIEWS
Organization Will Be Form
ed by the People and Not
by-the Politicians.
In answer to the call (or municipal
ownership, many of the patriotic cltl-
tena of Atlanta Friday afternoon
clipped from The Georgian the blank
printed for memberahlp and sent It to
this office, enrolling themselves as vol-
unteers to work In the cause of civic
progress. None of them hesitated to
express an opinion. They were for mu
nlclpal ownership of a gas plant and
of an electric lighting plant, while
some were heartily In favor of taking
over the street railway.
Judge George Mlltyer came out In a
strong Interview commending municl
pal ownership. L. J. Daniel, president
of the Daniel Bros. Company, told of
how he had thought out the plan and
reached the conclusion that munlcliml
ownership was the only solution. . He
1s willing to give of his time and money
to help the movement along. Thomas
H. Goodwin, recently a candidate for
mayor, exprejued his views on the plat
form which enabled him to poll more
than 4,000 votes against one of the
most popular men who ever ran for
public office. Press Huddleston, coun
cilman-elect from the Second ward. Is
out In an Interview favoring municipal
ownership, but ashing that the matter
be left to the people.
A Fight for the People.
This Is a fight for the people of At
lanta. It Is a movement to help the
city; to release the people from the
grasp of monopoly; to secure competi
tion; to lower the price of gas and
electricity; to enable the cttlxens of
this city to enjoy the same privileges
accorded the dtlsena of many of the
most prosperous cities In the United
Males. Uveer ■ cltlirn in the city
called on to Join. Emphasis Is put on
the statement that this la not a move
ment In favor of men. It Is a move
ment for principle. When a sufficient
number of taxpayers and dtlsena have
repressed themselves In favor of mu
nicipal ownership, The Georgian Is go
ing to laaue a chll for a mass meeting.
Then the league will organise. The
members will elect their officers. The
members will stipulate whom they want
to trust with the work of carrying
forward this great and needed reform.
There will be nothing of the back
room caucus. Politics will have no
place In this work. Any effort In that
direction will be denounced through the
columns of this paper. What The Geor
gian wants Is to benefit the community
which has so generously accepted It
and which la so generously patronising
It. To help the community The Geor
gian Is trying to secure municipal own
ership.
Here Is What the People Say.
Men In all walks of life have sent In
the blanks which The Georgian print
ed. They requested that'they be en
rolled as members of' the municipal
ownership league. 'T am In favor of
municipal ownership; also I want you
to help out the cause of free speech,"
wrote William *8. Wler, a printer, who
Uvea at 101 McAfee street, and who
was the first to Join. "Let It be soon,”
wrote W. B. Witts, a bricklayer, who
lives at 440 Edgewood avenue. "Call
on me any time;,I will be on hand,"
Wrote M. P. Roane, a grocer, who lives
at 444 Edgewood avenue.
"This Is such a plain proposition no
remarks are necessary." was the way
J. Ed Eubanks, a merchant of 46 1-2
Broad street, put It. "The city can
lesue bonds and build a lighting plant.
The saving In cost of municipal light
ing will pay bonds at maturity." was
the view that Courtland S. Winn, one
of the most prominent attorneys In
the city, with offices at 122-123 Cen
tury building, took of the matter. Mr.
'linn Is right. Edward P. Wood, a
manufacturer of 201 North Jackson
r'reet, requested to be enrolled. E. A.
Holbrook, of 124 Peeples street, a
wholesale grain dealer, said: "Keep
up the good work." Colonel William
L Scruggs, former United State* mln-
I'ter to Venesuela, who resides at 446

A rumor reached ths city late Satur

who lives about a mile from ths Sol
diers' Homs, was attacked Saturday
afternoon by an unknown negro.
The rumor saya the negro appeared
In Mrs. Chafin', yard and she fright
ened him away at the point of a shot
gun. She returned the weapon to Ita
place and In a few momenta the ne
gro allpped back and attacked her
again. Neighbors rushed to the scene
and frightened the negro, who escaped.
A large party of men living near
the scene of the attack Is In pursuit
of the negro.
No confirmation of the rumor could
be received from county or city police.
OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta's Owning Its own gas and elec
tric light plants, as it now owns its water writs. Other cities do this and gel gas as low as 60 cents,
with a profit to the city. This should be done at orice. The Georgian believes that if street rail
ways can be operated successfully by European cilies, as they are, there is no good reason why they
can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and ll may be some years be
fore we are ready for so big an underlaying. Stilt Atlanta should sel its face In that direction NOW

TAFT IS TO TALK WITH
REBEL FIGHTING MEN
Manila, Sept. 22.—The bey of Ca
vite, the scene of Admiral Dewey's
great victory over the Spanish fleet
on May 1, 1111, was today visited by
disastrous typhoon. It Is believed
considerable lorn of life has resulted
and enormous damage haa been caused.
The storm's scope extended from
south of Cavlts, but telegraph wires
on land are down In all directions from
the city and It Is Impossible to get
details of what haa happened. Ship-
1 In Cavite Is known to have suf-
d heavily. Nearly a score of ves
sels are said to have foundered In the
bay or been driven ashore.
May Be Under Debris.
Immense damage has also been
caused on land. Buildings were blown
down, tree* uprooted, houses unroofed
or destroyed and sheds and barns
blown to pieces. It will , be Impossi
ble to give any Idea of the caaualtles
until a search can ‘ be made of the
wrecked buildings, as It Is believed
many persons are burled In the rulne
of their homes.
Debris from the destroyed buildings
fills the streets at many points. The
arsenal, which was the stronghold of
the Spaniards In the days of their pos
session, has been badly damaged,
Losses are said to have occurred
among the soldiers stationed there.
Gunboat Driven Ashore.
The gunboat Arrarat was driven
aahore and damaged. Several of her
crew art reported to have been lost
and others Injured.
Cavite province seems to havs been
ravaged by the storm, and It la believed
It extended further to the southeast
Into the provinces of Batangaui and
Tayabaa. It Is feared the southern
toasts of the provinces of Luson Island
have also been ravaged.
No word has bsen received today
from Mindoro or Marlnduque Islands,
south of Luson, and It la feared the
typhoon may have reached there as
well.

Havana. Sept. 22.—H Is probable that
there will be some developments after
the conference which Is to be held to
day between Secretaries Taft and Ba
con and a numbr of the rebel generate,
Including Castillo, Guerra and repre
sentatives of the Santa Clara Insur

The fighting men have not yet seen
the American commissioners. When
they have, Mr. Taft will be In a posi
tion to reach a declalon on the best
course for the United States to pursue.
Expeet Intervention.
It Is reported here today that Mr.
Taft haa sent word to President Roose
velt that there Is scarcely a hope of
bringing about lasting peace except un
der an American protectorate backed
by an nrmed force.
The great gathering of American
warahlpa now In Cuban waters, with
more to come, the fact that General
Funston, the best equipped pfficer In
the American army for a Cuban cam
paign. Is to be here next week and the
concentration of American regulars at
convenient poipts for quick transport to
Cuba, all tend to confirm the Idea In the
public mind that Mr. Taft has practi
cally given up hope'of a peaceful set
tlement.
Insist on Dsmands.
All the fighting leaders declare they
will not lay down arms unless they get
their full demand. If they Insist on
that In the conference with Mr. Taft It
will leave him but one course of action.

General Lonax del Castillo has writ
ten a letter from hts camp at Santiago
de las Vegas saying:
"Tell the American people that we
will accept only the annulment of the

the polls, unarmed, expecting honestly
that our rights would be respected."

General Guerra's troops have been
removed beyond Punta Brava on the
road to Ouanajay. He has 1,000 men,
who were reviewed by Major Ladd at
the request of General Guerra, who
wished to show hit strength. Before
Mr. Taft requested the withdrawal of
his fores about 4,000 rebels were within
a short distance of Havana. Between
the forces of General Guerra and Gen
eral Castillo are two towns, Hoyo Col

garrisoned by government troops,

a safe guard from General Cstl'.llo and
thus irvold the danger of a clash.

"You men get out of here and don't
call up this office any moral" said Chief
A. Q. Turner, of the county police, to
some of his man at his headquarter*
at the court house Saturday afternoon.
The chief had got a letter.
The letter was from Chairman E. V.
Carter, of the ronda and bridges com
mittee of the county commission. Chief
Turner would not say what waa In the
letter, but there waa no doubt that It
was a stirring message which Mr. Car
ter had written.
In effect. It had been an order to
put Into force at once the provision
mads when the county police force wan

been provided for in the northern,

county, are not yet ready, hut the roads
and bridges committee chairman had.
It seems, got the Idea that the men
were staying a little to elottly at head
quarters.
"Simply Instructions," 8aya Csrtor.
Mr. Carter said Saturday afternoon
that the letter had simply contained
Instructions to put Into effect as speed-
possible the provisions which
will keep the men In the country and
of the city g* much as possible.
„ The men are to report to Lieutenants

Cheshire aa often as necessary at their
homes, or by 'phone, until the head
quarter* at Buekhead, Battle Hill and
Lakewood Height* are ready for.occu-
pAfioy,
Mr. Carter said that he expected to
have the house at Battle Hill ; n condi
tion within the next few day#, that It
would take a little longer to prepare
quarters from buildings already mail
able on county alms house property
north of Atlanta and that the county
would hove to build at the corner of
the Jonesboro and Brown's Mill road*
In the southern part of the county.
Some Want to Quit.
Some of the county officers are pret
ty sore over the strlnggnt rules which
the commission has adopted, and It I*
understood that when thoy have to live
In camps away from their families
some of them will resign.
More of the men Just have their
feelings hurt, however. They don't
think that the county commissioners
think they work. They contend that In
the first place the time they spend at
headquarters In iho mornings l» not
loafing, but Is for the purpose of a gen
eral exchange of views.
"And If we did rest a little In the
morning It wouldn't be any more than
we should be allowed,' said one of ths
men Saturday morning. "I don't be
