Aiderman Mayer, of the committee on
ordinances resolutions, made the following
report:
Hon. Mayor and Council —'Gentlemen:
The committee fully enter into and are in
thorough accord and spirit of the resolu
tions of Aiderman Huthnance, believing
that the addition of the suburban settle
ments to the city proper means a greater
■and more prosperous Macon. This ques
tion is, however, of much more gravity
than is generally regarded, involving as
sessments, levy and collection of taxes, ex
pense of fire and police protection, watgr,
sewerage, lights, etc., of all the territory
to be annexed, that the Mayor and Council
can take no positive steps in the niatt&r
until it has an official or tangible ex
pression of the wishes of the citizens of
the suburban shttlemeuts and the revenue
calculated. When this has been done, and
a. basis of annexation has been agreed up»u
by all parties concerned, your committee
feel warranted in saying that the 'Mayai
and Council will receive and welcome
additional territory, knowing that the ex
tension of the population, and in number
less ways (stimulating progress, insuring
prosperity, and making (Macon greater.
Therefore, your committee cannot make
any recommedation further than to await
•the action of the suburbs seeking incorpo
ration as a part of the city proper.

TOM ALLEN'S
LAST HOPE,
His Attorneys Will Go Before
Pardoning Board Tomor
row Morning.
WILL PLAY IHEIR UST CARD
When the Evidence of the Newly
Found Witness is Introduced—
Allen is Still Hopeful.
Col. J. W. Preston, Dupont Guerry and
Col. John R. Cooper will leave for Atlanta
this afternoon to appear before the par
doning committee of the penitentiary in
the Allen case tomorrow morning.
‘Messrs. Guerry and Preston go to ap
pear for the defendant while Mr. Cooper
will appear for the prosecution. The case
will be the first one called, and it will be
reviewed in its entirety. The new evi
dence which the defense claims to have
found will be introduced, and the negno
who states that he was an eye witness to
the killing of Carr will be carried along
in person.
The new evidence which has been found
in the statement of this negro is to rhe
effect that he saw Allen flourishing a pis
tol the night of the killing in Cassidy’s
bar, and that in trying to get it away
from him, the pistol was accidentally dis
charged and Carr was killed. The attor
neys put great faith in the statement of
the negro, and hope that they may be able
to save Allen from the gallows.
Immediately after the killing the negro
left Georgia and went to Louisiana, and
only returned a few weeks ago. He told
several prominent men of Macon whom he
knew, of the accident of Carr’s death,
thinking that Allen had been hung. These
gentlemen at once went to Colonel Pres
ton and told him of the new witness. He
was found and his statement was made
and recorded. Upon the strength of the
new evidence, an appeal was made to the
governor to hear it, and to grant a par
don. The matter was referred to the par
doning committee, anti as a law had been
enacted at the last session of the legisla
ture establishing such a •ommittee for the
investigation of all such cases.
The committee has no power to grant a
complete pardon, but upon their recom
mendation the governor will more than
probably grant a pardon.
Inspeaking of the case Colonel Preston
said that it had been one of the most pe
culiar he had ever seen in his long law
practice. Allen was first convicted of
murder and sentenced to hang. While
under the sentence of death he escaped
from the county jail. He could not toe
captured.
At the time he escaped his attorneys
had a motion before the supreme court for
* new trial. The court raJed that unless
Allen gave hiH»self up to the authovilies
in thirty days the courts of Georgia would
be closed to him forever. He did not give
himself up, but was afterwards captured
on an island tn the middle of the Ocmul
gee river.
It iias been this order of the supreme
•enrt that has spoiled all «f Aften’s
chances for mercy. lib could not appeal
to the courts on ordinary grounds, and
consequently had to suffer the sentence
imposed upon him by the superior court.
That sentence has been deferred in ex
ecution from time to time until now the
matter has approached the last stage, and
in a few more days the ease v II be Bet
tied forever, as far as the courts of the
land have jurisdiction. If the pardoning
board refuses to recommend a pardon for
Allen, he will be hung, as there is no other
chance for him. The governor has no
power to pardon unless the committee,
after investigation, recommends it.
Allen is confined in the jail here, and
i when seen by a News represenfetive was
hopeful of the outcome of the presentation
of the case before the pardoning board.
He says he has never lost hope.
WOMEN ARE SCARCE.
Bachelors «jf Idaho Want Wives Badly,
But Can Net Get Them.
Ygxwg wputep are siil scarce in Idaho
and bachelors who tlc.sji’e to change thejr
cpnd'itmns of single blessedness are very

affairs school boards in that state havo
difficulty jn securing teachers to conduct
their schools. Few men are engaged in
the occupation of teaching the young, as
they can usually find more lucrative em
ployment. So young women are imported
from the East, and as soon as they begin
their work the baeheliors paying
court to them. With a dozen men flutter

school ma’am resigns and march se one of
her suitors.
