Allans, Jan. 3.—No sooner had
der Broyles let go of Mayor Woodward
than former, nov. < x-Councilman Thomp
son took hold. Councilman Thompson re
tired from office to-night, hut this after
noon in the Council meeting, he touched
up the Ma>or in a rather lively manner
for his veto of the underground conduit
ordinance, granting certain privileges to
the Consolidated.
The Mayor in his veto said the Council
should refuse any further grant of fran
chises io this company until it recognizes
the city’s authority in making reserva
tions in franchises by withdrawing its hill
of injunction now pending in the United
States Court, which bill is against the city
exercising that authority.
In the message the Mayor said the street
railway company was damaging the city
by delaying competition in the street rail
way lines, and the acceptance of the offer
of the Collins Park and Belt Company of
$59,000 toward the construction of the
Whbehall street viaduct. The Mayor term
ed the present condition of the crossing at
that pohu a death trap and said the liti
gation is ho’ding up not only the viaduct,
hut arge sums of monoy which would be
Spent in he erection of new buildings on
cither Ride of both Whitehall and Pea h
tree streets, be‘tween Marietta and Ala
bama streets.
An effort mas made to pass the ord
over the Mayor’s veto and then it wis
that Councilman Thompson made his as
sault. accusing the Mayor of making i
favorite of the Georgia Electric Eight
Company. The Mayor’s veto, he said,
was Inspired by venom and prejudice and
practically charged the Council with a
wanton dereliction of duty. The veto was
sustained by a vote of 7 to 7.
New Member* Sworn In.
The nine new members of the City Coun
cil were sworn in by Mayor Woodward to
night. They were Alderman Harvev
Johnson and M. M. Welch, Counoilmen T.
G. Longino, H. W. Brady, A. Q. Adams,
W. M. Terry. A. C. Minhinnett, W. C.
(Raw son and C. A. Barrett.
The retiring members w'ere: Aldermen F.
P. Rice and I. S. Mitchell; Counc Invn
Dosied, Hammond.McCullough, Thomp on,
Bums, Adair and Lahatte. Aldermen
'Rice and Mitchell are brothers-in-law and
rival candidates for the next mayoralty.
The annual reports of officers were sub
mitted. that of Fire Chief Joyner showing
a total of 384 tires during the wear, with
on aggregate damage of >BO.OOO.
Recorder Broyles recommended a re
formatory school for boys. The Finance
Committee regarded it as unfortunate
that the tax rate was reduced In 1597 from
1% to IV4 per cent., and that it would have
been much better to continue the per
cent, rate and reduced assessments.
The total number of eases entered by
the police on the city docket for the past
year is 13,302. The tax assessor’s report
reduced assessments on real estate of over
$1,900,000, but a gain in personal property
of $600,000.
The Board of Education wants more
•money for the public schools, claiming
that the city only appropriaies 20 per cent,
of its revenue from direct taxation to
school purposes, whereas the proportion
appropriated for school purposes in pro
gressive cities ranges from 25 to 35 por
cent, of the entire tax levy, and in sub
stantiation of this comparisons are made
with the cities oi Indianapolis, Cincinnati
and Kansas City.
TcaolM-r* nml Pensions.
Between $400,000 and $500,000 will be paid
the teachers of the state by the state
school commissioner this week. The pay
ment, which will be in full for their ser
vices for the past two months, will go
to them two weeks earlier than they ex
pected. and will, therefore, be received
with more than ordinary delight.
Pension payments will begin on Jan 10,
when ttie teachers would ordinarily hav©
been paid, and for that reason it was de
cided to dispose of the latter payments
first and get them out of the way.
AA. T. Channeir* Caste.
Prison Commissioners Turner and Eason
will return to the eapitol to-morrow, and
the first case to be taken up by the com
mission will be that of W. T. Channell,
the Montgomery county young man who
is held in the Savannah jail on the charge
of murder. Several petitions have been
liled with the commission in his behalf.
HALL II AD FIVE I, IA l\li AA IVES.
SlMer-In-LaTV Snhl to Have lletmyed
Him on That Account.
Atlanta, Jan. 3.—James Hall, the white
man who escaped from the penitentiary
nineteen years ago, and who was recently
captured in Birmingham, was brought to
Atlanta to-day and lodged in the Fulton
county jail.
The first reports that reached the Geor
gia authorities was that Hall was be
trayed to Sheriff O’Brien of Jefferson
county, Alabama, by his brother, because
of a quarrel, but the true facts are that
he was betrayed by 'his sister-in-law, on
account of the shameless manner in which
be had treated her sex. She says Hall
has five living Alabama wives, whom he
married since his escape. The betrayal
was made by n sister of his last wife.
Hall was convicted In Muscogee Super
ior Court in 287*2 for horse s tea ling, end
was ent up for fifteen years, seven of
which he nerved. When he escaped he
was working on a railroad in Southwest
Georgia. Hall admits now that he is the
plan wanted. He Is 40 years old. and of
tine physical appearance.
CORNII TATI ON OF SENTENCE.
1m Sougli4 in Ilelialf of Itud Harris,
Who Killed Dave Erwin.
Atlanta, Jan. I.—Application for commu
tation of sentence was filed with the
Prison Commission tills morning in behalf
of Bud Harris of Fulton county, a negro
boy who is under sentence oft death at
Rome for murder, and was to bo hanged
next Thursday.
The ground for the application la that
when the crime was committed two years
ago the boy was of such tender years that
he did not realize the enormity of the of
fense. He was then 17 years of age.
Harris killed Dave Erwin, another ne
gro, at a dance near Rome.

AV II AT THE NEGRO AH ST DO.
Hooker AA afthiuKton’s View of the
Problem of His Race.
Macon, Jan. 3.—Booker T. Washington
spoke on emancipation hero to-day, op
posing the emigration schemes of Bishop
Turner. He says the negro problem must
be solved by the best element of the negro
race with the aid of the best elements of
the whites.
“The North does not contain all the good
white people, nor are they any better
friends to the negro than can he found in
the South.” he said. “For every negro
that is sent to Liberia a negro baby is
lorn in the cotton belt, so that the scheme
is a failure. As we came to this country
at the urgent solicitation and expense of
the white man, we would be ungrateful to
run away and leave him now, and we are
not going to do it.
“I was asked the other day in New Vo k
what, tne negro can do to get his rights.
I answered, make himself useful. 11 s
citizenship will be recognized and valued
in proportion as he is worthy. Industrial
education is the key to the situation. The
negro tnusi keep pace with progressive
civilization. Old Sam and his po r mule
can no longer compete with the white
man who cultivates corn by riding under
an umbrella on a cultivator that do s the
work of four men; nor can the black wo
man at the wash tub long compete with
the electric washing machines. The ne
gro must have education and thrift. They
must know how to apply their educati n.
We have enough ministers and profes
sional men for the present. We need to
teach the masses how to get out thtlr
shiftlessness and antiquated ways.”
A large number of white people were in
his audience.
