GRAFT!
Charges Flying Thick
and Fast About the
Heads of Atlanta
Councilmen.
(Special to the Banner.)
Atlanta. April 15.—As thick and fast
• s charges of graft have been flying
about the heads of members of the
city council, not one name has yet
been called. Furthermore, it is not
likely that any name will be mention
ed until it is either brought out on
the witness stand in the promised
investigation, or put on the face of a
grand jury indictment, provided there
is evidence enough to support it.
"Who are all these grafters?" At-
Ipi tails are asking one another. News-
piper publications liav- whetted ap-
pititites for the disclosure of the rest
• f the story, hut it conies not.
"I will name names," vocifi rates Al
derman McClelland :n interview after
interview, and yet there lias been no
naming.
The newspaper men have made in
vestigations and they are all pretty
well satisfied as to which particular
member of council the finger of sus
picion points; but they have unearth
ed nothing but suspicions.
Tie y have ascertained that one of
the members of council in question is
said to have borrowed a sum of money
from a certain near beer dealer two
years ago. This particular case was
talked ubout at that time. It was
known two years ago to everybody
connected with the city government
and many who were not: but the mat
ter was allowed to drop The fact is '
everybody had about forgotten it until'
Alderman McClelland "sprung his
sensation." Th n it was discovered
tPat tliis two year old loan made by
;• near beer dealer to a member of
council, or alleged to have been made
about that time, was one of the cases
lie had in mind.
They have also learned, it is said,
tr.at another member of council who
lias always favored the near beer deal-
irs. got some contracts with tho j
assistance of one oi two of them. I
This is said to be the foundation o(
another of the McClelland charges for
which investigation is demanded.
Mayor Woodward is trying to find
something on which to hang criminal '
i hargfs. outside of the purely moral
aspect of the cases. It Is now his!
plan to go before the grand Jury, tell ‘
all he knows himself and then, in a '
way, to take charge of the grand Jury
Investigation; for it has about been
determined to have both a grand Jury
investigation and one by council. The j
pushers of the graft charges fear a
"whitewashing" verdict from the conn-
til committee, and they do not want
t-• take iinv chances.
Mayor Woodward has been looking
for graft ever since he went into of-
lice. He first turned up an alleged bit
or graft In the fire department, but a
committee made a report exonerating
Fire Chief W. B. Cummings, and now
the mayor wants that case to go be
fore the grand Jury.
Also the mayor sees big graft in th •
pew crematory contract. He saw that
before he went into office, and front
the mayor's viewpoint It has been
growing bigger and bigger. With
council insisting on carrying out this
contract and the mayor opposing It,
the public has been unable to deter
mine just what is the true situation.
The present prospect is that the cre
mator, too, will get into the courts as
the result of the mayor’s refusal to
sign the warrants to pay for it. and
that the situation will there be tlior
uuglily aired.
In the meantime who is getting all
this graft?
That is the mystery of the situation,
and it does not appear to be approach
mg any nearer to a definite solution

ing better than Chamberlain's Lini
ment. Try it and see how quickly it
gives relief. For sale by ail dealers.
