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. LOWER LIGHT RATES TO CITY CONSUMERS ARE NOW ASSURED Company Concedes Every Point Asked by City.

CHAIRMAN KNAPP PREDICTS AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING Washington, June 17.—An era of *°°d feeling between the railroads and the public with a consequent beneficent effort upon the material welfare of the Fnltcd States, la predicted by Martin A.

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 ATLANTA TEMPLARS TO GO INSTHENGTH Georgia Will Send Large Delegation to Saratoga Conclave.
