WHAT THE BELL COMPANY
HAS NOT FURNISHED
• The public has been asked to believe that the Bell Company, along with its
many other gifts to Atlanta, has given, or kept up our fire alarm system and our
police telephone system.
A section of the proposed franchise reads:
“* * * And said company shall furnish to the city, during the life
of this franchise, the telephones, consisting of transmitters and receivers,
• for the signal boxes of the ENTIRE police and ilre alarm telephone sys
tems of the city, as they now exist or may be hereafter extended.”
ENTIRE, mind you!
Transmitters and receivers, we have told you before, cost something like one
dollar and sixty-five cents each, and The Georgian is at a loss to understand why
we need to ask them of the Bell Company.
Our fire alarm system was installed by the Gamewell Fire Alarm and Tele
graph Company in June, 1882, and Atlanta paid that company in 1906 for new
equipment, repairs, etc., $6,495.95.
The same company installed our police alarm system, and on Octo
ber 7,1890, received Atlanta’s check for $10,000, as shown by voucher
No. 711.
On December 19, 1906, the Gamewell Company received $5,000 more
for renewing the system, and on June 12,1907, $3,500 more.
Atlanta pays an electrician to keep the police system in order $1,500
a year; three men, $600 a year each; estimated cost of incidentals, $1,000
a year, or, a total of $4,300.
No, fellow-citizens, the dear Bell Company is not responsible for all
our prosperity. Atlanta has a little bill against it, anything.

STREET CAVED IN,
HOUSES_TOPPLED
Pittsburg, Pa.. Aug. 29.—In some
mysterious manner the bottom of a
••rest In the suburbs caved In for a
distance of more than 800 'feet today
end many houses are toppling In. Hun
dreds of persons living In the neighbor,
hood Bed In penlc to other quarters.
8o far as Is known at the present time,
no lives were lost.
The Goorglan on 'Tuesday carried
tho first announcement of the pro
posed resolution. It will provide for
the appointment of a committee of
three, whose duty It will bo to appear
before the railroad commission and
urge cheaper street car fares, cheaper
gas and cheaper telephones.
The reorganized railroad commis
sion, under the recent enactment of the
legislature, has jurisdiction hnd power
over gas and electric light companies,
street car companies and telephone
companies.
Councilman Terrell proposes that tho
commission be petitioned to enforce
a street car schedule of eight fares for
a quarter; to enforce a rate of 76 cents
per thousand foot of gas ns against
$1 net, tho present rate; and a tele
phone charge approximating 22.60, and
with a sliding scale, Increasing as tho
number of subscribers Increase.
Once Had 3-Csnt Farts,
"Why." asked Councilman Terrell,
"can not the street car company pros
per with a fare of 3 1-8 cents? Havo
the people of Atlanta forgotten that
before the consolidation—before tho
present company secured a monopoly—
the Rapid Transit Company had a I-
cont rate?
"If wo had ouch rate then, certainly
In those times we can got one nearly as
low.
"Did not tho Georgia Railway and
Eloctric Company declare a stock dlvL
dend of 26 psr cent last year when the
tlrectors Increased the stock 32,000,000?
The people of Atlanta are paying the
height—and they ere paying for too
much freight •
"I have documents to prove that the
gas company could earn a large In
come on tho Investment with a 75-cont
gas rate. In Now York the rate has
been cut to 10 cents and ths cost of
operation there Is much greater than
hero. _
“Got Cheaper Gsa"
"Just let the people of Atlanta think
of this a moment. This gas company
claims a perpetual franchise—a fran
chise to dig up the streets of the city
intll eternity, and there Is no way In
the world for tho dig council to stop
It, or to collect anything for this tre
mendous privilege. All wo get Is
straight ad valorem taxes.
•Why not make this gas company,
which Is disregarding tho public policy
of tho city and tho stats, and Is ab-
r.olutely beyond the control of every
body but the railroad commission, pay
In cheaper lights what It will not pay In
just taxation?
. -There Is no use In commenting on
the telephone situation. The Georgian
has shown this up. Some of the rates
of the Boll Company are entirely too
high and everybody knows It. Now Is
tbe time to cut them down.
"The city council of Atlanta Is pot
going to let this opportunity pass by to
i lo the people of Atlanta a real senr-
* C The members of council seem to look
with favor upon Councilman Terrell’s
resolution, and probably It will be
adopted.

Marasd, who had been employed at

esteemed by them. Thursday morn

and while there went to a spring near
the house, with Ruby Lee and another
child about a year old. Ho told her
that he would kill her If she said any
thing about the occurrence, then of

from the man, whose name has been
given both as Marasd and Raitus,
and they returned to the house to

The father and his son, J. W.
Smith, were on the .porch. The Italian

mother to the rear of the house and
told what had happened. The father
was called, and then Marasd jumped
from the porch and ran toward the

As soon at Mr. Smith was Informed

ROADS PREPARE
FOR NEW RATES
Final Hearing Before Com
mission Takes Place
Friday.
If the railroad commission at Its
meeting Friday does not extend the
time for tho reduced railroad fares to
go Into effect, and at present there
no Indication that this will be done,
tickets will be sold next Monday at tho
new rates, unless the roods make
legal fight
So far no orders have been Issued
to the ticket offices of the various roads
In ’Atlanta, but the officials of at least
two roads are expecting to sell tickets
at reduced rates within the state.
No orders to this effect, however,
will be Issued until after the confer
enco with the railroad commission Frl
day. If the commission declines to
extend the time for the reduced rates
to go Into effect until January I,
will be up to the railroads to take some
action. It Is understood, however, that
the roads will comply with the order.
There Is a difference of opinion among
the officials as to this course, but It Is
believed that a majority are In favor
I obeying tho order.
It It understood that at host nno big
trunk system . entering Atlanta has
made arrangements to lssao tlekets at
the new rate Monday morning In nun
the commission does not extend tho
time.
Those who do considerable traveling
and who have been In the habit ol’
paving straight fares will derive con
sldarable benefit from the reduction. It
has been estimated by railroad men
that the railroads will lose In revenue
something over one million dollars
year.
To iom* points from Atlanta tho re'
ductlon will not be great for the reason
that comparing lines now mako the

New York, Aug. 29.—An announce'
ment Is expected In Boston today that
Richard Olney, former secrefiary of
state, has been engaged to carry the
fight of the striking telegraphers
against the Western Union and Postal
companies Into stats and Federal
courts.
Before President Gompera, of tho
American Federation of Labor, left
Boston for Norfolk, Va., at midnight,
he held a long conference with Mr. Ol
ney, and It la believed that the teleg
raphers' strike was Its subject Nei
ther Olney or Gompers would discuss
the matter at that time.
'An Incident of the strike which
caused the strikers to say harsh things
obout the Pinkerton detectives employ
ed by the companies was the arrest of
Jesso Brown, a union picket. It was
charged by the arresting detective that
Brown had seised Miss Anna Curoe by
ths wrists In the morning as aho step
ped from a train In the subway sta
tion.
Miss Curoe Is a strike-breaker em
ployed by the Western Union. Brown

resolution, and began to read IL The
directors did not seem to get th* .drift

nunclatlon of the present management

H. Harriman and of Harahan himself.
Harahan Tool of Harriman.
A motion to adjourn was suddenly
made, and Harahan declared the meet
ing adjourned. Mr. Fish protested
against an adjournmenL declaring that
It was snap judgment and that the
’’tools” of Harriman did not dare to
listen to him. Harahan Is alleged to
have replied: "The man who says I am
a tool of any man Is a liar.”
Fish Is over six feet tall and weighs
210 pounds, and Harahan la almost as
tall and weighs 100. Fish, It Is as
serted, leaped post the end ot the table
