“SILENT” SMITH’S MILLIONS
New York, June 17.—A claim for
t8.333.S3S.33 from the estate of the late
James Henry ("Silent") Smith, based
upon an amaxtng story of a hidden
chapter In his life, Is soon to be made
In a New York court.
A New Orleans woman, Mrs. Simon
Dufreche, Is the claimant. That she Is
a daughter of Bmtth, born to him and
Ellen ilargan, after a romantic mar
riage In 1866, In Texas, Is the ground
upon which she will ask for one-third
of the estate.
Mrs. Dufreche declares she has abso
lute proof that her father was the reti
cent, enigmatical millionaire, who died
last March in Japan. A marriage li
cense, a wedding certificate, a record .of
the daughter’s christening and many
letters and photographs which Mrs. Du-
freche’s father sent to her mother
from England, whither he went after
leaving her, are In her posseeslon.
Ti|rec lawyers of prominence and
high reputation have been retained In
Mrs. Dufreche’s behalf. They are said
to have progressed to the point where
they have notified the Smith executors
of the Impending suit. Two are of the
New Orleans bar, Charles F. Claiborne,
great-grandson of the first governor of
Louisiana, and Paul L. Fourchey. The
third Is William T. Houston, formerly
of New Orleans, where he was fudge of
the civil district court for sixteen years.

CHAIRMAN KNAPP PREDICTS

couragement In the conviction that
railroad managers almost without ex
ception have now come to acept with
sincerity and unreserve the principle
and policy of Federal regulation. Not
only do they accept It In a spirit of
obedience to law, but more significant,
ly, at I think, because they recognize
that It Is right.

The fight for cheaper electric lights
will be practically ended Monday aft
ernoon, when council will adopt the re
port of tho special committee, recom
mending the acceptance of the bid of
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany for the city’s lighting for the next
five years.
After weeks of deliberation, the spe
cial committee appointed for the pur-
pose of considering this question, and
of which Alderman Key Is chairman,
reached an agreement Saturday aft
ernoon.
On every point raised In connection
with the lighting contract, the advo
cates of municipal ownership won and
received valuable concessions.
The point at Issue Saturday after
noon was the fixing of a maximum sec.
ondary rate. When the contract came
up for signing Just two weeks ago, Al
derman Key raised the point that a re
duction In one rate without a provision
against a corresponding raise In an
other rate would mean nothing, and
he refused to sign.
The Georgian took up this question
and Insisted that the new contract be
flawless, and that the secondary rale
for lights be fixed In order that It could
not be raised above the present rate.
Agree on Rates.
The result of this contention by Al
derman Key and The Georgian was
that on Saturday G. W. Brine, vice
president, representing the company In
the absence of President Arkwright,
agreed that the maximum secondary
rate should be fixed.
The contract .will stipulate that the
maximum primary rate shall be 10
cents, and the maximum secondary rate
may be what the company fixes, pro
vided that the amount of the total bill
shall not be greater than if the second-
ry rate were 6 cents flat.
The winning of this point made it a
complete victory for the advocates of
cheaper lights, for The Georgian, which
pushed the movement, and for Aider-
man James L. Key, chairman of the
committee which secured' the reduc
tions. and who led the municipal own
ership fight in council.
The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company had submitted a bid which
was nothing less than startling to the
committee. It guaranteed a reduction
of more than 20 per cent on the city's
lights, meaning In figures the saving of
about 3125,000 to the city. This was
about as much as the committee fig
ured municipal ownership would save.
The Georgian demanded that before
the bid was accepted and the tight for
municipal ownership abandoned that a
material reduction in the rates to pri
vate consumers be secured and em
bodied In the contract.
Alderman Key took up this fight In
the committee. President Arltwjlght,
who had shown a willingness all along
to be fair, agreed readily to reduce the
rates to private consumers.
• At a conference between the commit
tee and President Arkwright a reduc
tion of from 12 cents to 10 cents per
kilowatt hour for lights and from 7
cents to 6 cents for power was made
and accepted.
This reduction amounts to 17 per
cent on tights and 14 per cent on power.
It affects the maximum primary rate,
which Is 150 kilowatt hours per month.
This rate. It Is estimated, will reduce
the lighting hills of 96 per cent of the
3,000 customers of. the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company.
An Ironclad Contract.
The Georgian then Insisted that the
contract be atudled carefully, In order
that there should be no misunder
standing between tho council and the
company, as had been the case with
previous contracts. When the contract
was submitted, Alderman Key found
that It did not contain the provlalon
that the maximum secondary rate be
fixed, and raised the point that by In
creasing this rate the company could
make up for the loss In reducing the
primary rate.
The Georgian took up this question,
with the result of the unanimous agree
ment of Saturday. The contract, as It
will be submitted to council, will mean
the eavlng to the city of 3126,000 In five
years and a saving to private con
sumers of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
This Is more than a municipal light
tng plant. It Is argued, could have
brought about In the next five years,
although the reductions are the result

WENT TO TEA
And It Wound Her Bobbin
Tea drinking frequently affects peo
le as badly as coffee. A lady In Salls-
ury, Md.. aays that she was compelled
to abandon the use of coffee a good
many years ago, because it threatened
to ruin her health and that ehe went
over to tea drinking, but finally, she
had dyspepsia so bad that she had
lost twenty-five pounds and no food
seemed to agree with her. ’
She further says: "At this time I
was Induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and waa so much
pleased with the results that I have
never been without It ilnce, I com.
nienced to Improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went aome beyond my uaual weight.
"I know Postum to be good, pure,
and healthful, and there never was an
article, and never will be, I believe,
that does so surely take the place of
coffee, is Postum Food Coffee. The
beauty of It all la that It Is satisfying
and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as
If l could not sing Its praises too loud."

cially Viscount Aokl has created a favora
ble Impression here, altho.ugh his personal

It Is believed, however, that Ambassador
Aokl's recall may be a concession to tho
radical element In Japan, which refuses to
be satisfied with the manner In which the
Kan Francisco Incident has been treated.

Regulate Gae Company.
When this matter had been finally
disposed of by the committee Saturday,
Alderman Key suggested that some
steps should be taken to secure the
regulation of the gas company, which
Is now absolutely beyond the control
of council.
The other member* agreed, end the
commute* will continue to meet every
Saturday afternoon until tome course
le decided upon. The appointment of
meter Inspectors for the gae company
Is one of the thlnga wanted by'Aider-
man Key.
Councilman Terrell euggested that.
Inasmuch as the Atlanta Telephone and
Telegraph Company claimed to have a
perpetual contract, now, when the com
pany wanted a year’s extension of time
n which to ley the conduits of the
North Georgia Electric Company, was
the time to thresh out this matter.
Alderman Qullllan suggested that It
might be advisable to take step* look
ing jo the securing of the North Geor
gia plant for a municipal plant. These
matters will be taken up later by the
commute*.
