PHYSICIANS TO PROTEST
AGAINST BA() PHONES
Fulton County Society
• Takes Up the
Matter.
The phyzlclanz of Atlanta are taking
a hand In the protest against poor tel
ephone service. A committee from the
Fulton County Medical Society has
been appointed to lnreetlgate and take
atepi toward securing a better service.
"The service Is rotten," said a mem
ber of the committee Friday morning,
‘and the physicians, more than almost
any other class of men, realize It. Al
most every one thinks the service poor.
The delays aro not only extremely an
noying, but Interfere with a doctor's
work. No, I can not say what the com.
mlttee will do, os we have Just started
our Investigation."
A number of the physicians have ex
pressed themselves as believing that
the service should be remedied. One
said that he lost a patron through
telephone delay. Others state that they
are constantly annoyed by delays when
time Is precious. Governed by profes
sional ethics, physicians refuse to per
mit the use of their names In protest
ing against the service.
Some of the complaints of poor serv.
Ice by the Bell Company follow:
At a Pay ’Phone.
A kick of a somewhat different char
acter against the Bell telephone mon
opoly was registered Wednesday by a
prominent Whitehall street merchnnt.
He tried to use one of the pay ’phones
at the West End exchange. He says
he put a nickel In the slot when told
and that tho operator then demanded
another nickel before he could get a
connection. It Is further claimed that
It took 35 minutes to get the connec
tion without being held up for another
nickel.
"I would have paid a dollar," he
said, "If that had been the price, but
I would have spent a hundred dollars
before I would be held up for a second
nickel.” He says he received consider
able abuse during the controversy.
The following Is from Milton A.
Smith, president of the Smith &
Simpson Lumber Company:
To The Georgian: Seeing that others
are telling of the Imperfect service of
the Southern Bell Telephone Company,
wish to say that only lost night I was
given the wrong number three differ
ent times, and at last waited twenty
minutes, with watch In hand, and got
no response, although I made every ef
fort possible to attract the attention of
the operator. I am like others—think
the city should receive a reasonable
compensation for the use of her streets
from corporations that are collecting
large sums from her people and giving
bad service In return.
Respectfully,
MILTON A. SMITH.
M. Mlddlebrooks, 343 Peters
street: ”1 have been displeased with
>hone service, but when I
je number of non-subecrlb-
era using the ’phone so often and the
rough manner In which we all use It
when ws aro fretted, I hardly know
how to blame. If everybody would go
gently to the ’phone, speak softly and
plainly and welt If the busy signal Is
given, the results would no doubt be
better. The ’phone Is a public blessing,
with all Its faults.
It, like all corporations, has to be
restrained, or spurred up by proper
legislation.
“8ervlee Is Rotten,
G. B. Massengale. of the Massengale
Advertising Agency:
"The service Is rotten. We pay for
a single line but frequently we can hear
other people talking when we pick up a
receiver. The delays are frequent and
troublesome."
At the American Bridge Company, of
New York, It was stated that Thurs-
day there was some Improvement In
the service, but that as a usual thing It
was very uncertain.
In the offices of Solomon-Norcross
Company, engineers. It was said: ” We
have timed some of our calls. One of
them took fifteen minutes by the watch
before central answered at all. The de-
lays are constant and we have noticed
but little Improvement”
Thos. B. Blake, of the Atlanta Com
press Company: "The service is not
altogether satisfactory. I hare grown
rather accustomed to telephone troubles,
but then wrong numbers and long waits
are Inclined to cause Impatience."
George L. Crandall, fiscal agent: ’The
telephone Instruments In Atlanta are
superior to New York or almost any
other city. There la trouble at the ex
change. but what It Is I can not say.
It may be difficulty In securing the

exiled from hit native country, be
cause after he came to this country to
be a West Point student he loved and
wed an American girl, Alfonao Zelaya,
only eon of President Zelaya, of Nica

"Come back; all forgiven."
With a heart lighter than It has been
for many a day, he left Wnahlngton
this morning for the land of his na

riches and honors now await him. And
best of. all, his American wife goes
with him, so that In Zelaya’a own land
they may forget the two years of ups ,
nnd downs and the financial straits.
Into which their craft of love has ■
often drifted since news of the son’s ‘
disinheritance came. Young Zelaya i
has been eking out a meager exlstenca
of late by playing the piano In Wash*.
Ington music halls and beer gardens.
NOT YET
Persistent Report That
Judge Ilillyer Will Be
One of Boat’d.
Although Governor Smith affixed his
signature to the railroad commission
bill Thursday evening, he haa not yet
announced the two new members of
the commission.
Rumors persist about tbe capitol that
one of the places will go to Judge
George Hlllyer. Governor Smith has
expressed the Intention of placing a lo
cal man on the commission, In order
to have a resident member.
It la pointed out that Judge Hlllyer
Is a close student of public matters, Is
a warm friend of the governor and Is a
sound and conservative business man.
Many of the well known business men
of the city ure known to favor him for
S ince on the board.
’o Information haa come from Sa
vannah relative to that city’s choice of
a representative on the commission.
So far the name of A. B. Moore, a well
known business man and vice president
of the Chamber of Commerce, has been
moat prominently mentioned In this
connection. W. U. Stllwell, head of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Major W.
W. Williamson have also been men
tioned.
Judge J. K. Hines was sworn In Frt-
ry by the governor aa attorney
the railroad commission. Judge H
afterwards met and hod a brief chat
with Commissioner McLendon. Con
gressman T. W. Hardwick witnessed
the administration of the oath of office
to Judge Hines. They come from the
same county, and Congressman Hard
wick expressed himself aa delighted
with the appointment.
Governor Smith aent the following
telegram to Savannah Friday:
Major W. W. Williamson and Others,
SAvannah, Ga.:
"Without In any way committing
myself to accept your suggestion or as
to the place from which the commis
sioners will be taken, I will be pleased
tomorrow (Saturday) to hear any sug
gestions which you and your associates
may wish to present with reference to
the railroad commission.

’Thanka to the O-orglan I am get

Greer, deupty United States marshal.
"If the light Is kept up maybe we will

proper help or it may be merely bad pany."
Officials Say Flat 2^-Ccnfi
Rate is Absurd Prop
osition. ,
Another meeting of prominent execu*
live officials of various railroads doing
business In Georgia was held Thursday.
The meeting was an Informal one, and
was for the purpose of talking over th*
railroad situation In Alabama and thw-
situation In Georgia.
No action was taken concerning any
proposition to the railroad commission
for a compromise reduced railroad rate,
and It was stated authoritatively that
euch road would lake such action as
Its officials thought best.. It was de
clared absurd for the roads to agree
upon a 3 1-2 cent compromise, for the
reason that some of the roads are al
lowed to charge this and mere, and
these would not enter Into any com-:
promise proposition with other roads
not allowed to charge 21-2 cents.
Rallrosd men think It quite probable
that after the reduced rates go Into
effect cheap excursion and other rates
below the regular schedule will be
abolished. Such action has been
threatened In other states, so railroad
men think It quite probable here.
