Population Divided.
Atho'ts, March 26.-r(f^)acral.)—At
lanta has tot been no Stirred up In
years by a poBtiail conftroveasy ns
over the fight on 1toe board of poAloe
oommtiBloners. Little dbe ban been
(Harassed today. The town Is ftpHt In
tlwo as bad almost as in the days of
protadblltioh .politics, each faction hav
ing its sympathizers and mxpiporteire,
and it is evident that frota now on
city polities trill be lu the hands of
two bitterly opposed fadtioiw.
■Mayor King has undoufbtfc'dJy made
a greet many friends toy his course in
the matter, although he Is sharply crit
icised for losing his tamper wflicn he
ordered the ejection of OMef of Police
Connolly from the commission room.
Today, however, there were mutual
apologies between the mayor ami the
Chief, and that feature of the trouble
is smoothed over.
While the supporters of Cttpt. English
denounce the mayor amt council bit
terly, yet the general sentiment of the
conservative public in that Mayor King
couiu not have doue usixu wise than he
did, and to'.s determination and steady
nerve in toe battle roytil with English
for wht^i the polku-'.a ns have had a
wholesome dread for years past, no-
ltorty being willing to ftfjhtt. against him
face to face, make him almost a hero
In the eyes of tlhe more enthusiastic of
his friends.
The mayor tots forced to the Went
by the council, whltto doctored him
chairman of rite police board in the
event that that board failed to deet a
chalrmun, a contingency that had al-
re idy arisen when too Ndlm» ondina nce
was pugsod. The poUoe beard Is a
chartered inshttultion, a co-Qrdinate
branch of the c.ty governmentt. and
upon this ground Oaj#. 'EngiWi and his
friiimls took thetr stand In their resent
ment of the council's interference.
They claim that the oouno'.l had no
right to make the mayor chairman of
the board, and imt for political ven-
geance ngadnSt English no such Stop
would over have been taken. Hence
the refusal to aetavonriedige. ths mayor's
right to preside.
It was f> :20 o'clock this tnonv'.ng—
broad dsijOlpht—-when the police boanl,
♦iml out with the deadlock of itwmty
hours' continuous e'-Hinw hrnlr* m
and the monbem event home. They
had bullotted for chairman fllO riun-s.
S.<,n after Mayor King r,aehctl hie
residence he received a vssii from Shcr-
Iff Barnes, who served him yr'.th s
temporary injunction granted by Judge
Turnbull of Rome rrerimlnlmg him
from means .as chairman of the board
until a further hearing. The English
faction tided 'to get the Injunction from
Jut ice Goiter At Marietta last night but
failed. Judge Turnbull toapptnal to be
in town on business, said ss soon as
Ill's tut was learned he was st once
sought.
v The Injunction 4s set for hearing on
Saturday morning at 11 o'clock. At 10
o'clock Snturday morning; the elerelou
of s now ipoMce force will be to gun.
The granting of the Injunction does nnt
deprive the mayor of his vote on the
board or have sny effect ton the dead
kck between the two factions so that
It Is not likely 'thtut fhere can be uny
election for merahem of the depart

restrained by the courts from so do
