NEW STREET PLUSHER
PROVES REAL SUCCESS
FOUR ACTIONS
IN THE COURTS
Temporary Receiver to Act
Until Case Is Heard on
September 20.
The effort, to put the North Georgia
Electric Company In the hands of a re
ceiver have been successful.
As a result of the petition filed by
Ellwood Allen and VI. D. Chamberlain,
of Dayton, Ohio, and the Western Union
Telegraph Company Wednesday, Ref.
eroc Clifford Walker, of Monroe, has
appointed Samuel C. Dunlap, of Gaines
ville. temporary receiver. This peti
tion whs tiled with the Involuntary pe
tition In bankruptcy, through Attorneys
Dorsey.j Brewster, Howell and Heyman.
This petition was filed In the Federal
court here Wednesday and the petition
for a receiver was taken to Monroe and
presented to Referee Walker, who had
jurisdiction In the matter because of
the absence of Judge Newman.
The defendants or other creditors
have until September 20 to answer the
eubpena and make answer and If noth
ing Is done within five days afterwards,
the petition in bankruptcy will —
through the regular channel.
Refused by Judge.
In the petition for a receiver It was
alleged that the company hod.admitted
Its Insolvency and -that a petition for a
receiver had already been applied for
In the United States circuit court. Thla
petition was the ono Judge Shelby
turned down, and the admission by
President Stewart, of the company, of
Insolvency and his consent to the ap
pointment of a receiver were comment,
ed upon by Judge Shelby when he re
fused to grant the petition.
Receiver Dunlap’s bond was fixed by
Referee Walker at 125,001). Still an
other petition for a receiver for tho
company was Died Thursday morning
In the United States court by the John
A. Roebllng's Sons Company, of Tren
ton, N. J„ through Attorney Habry
Alexander and was presented to Ref
eree Percy H. Adams, In Atlanta It
was said the petitioner had found that
the company had a charter here and
that for that reason Referee Adams had
jurisdiction. At noon Referee Adams
had taken no action In the matter.
Four Different Actions.
This makea four separate actions
against the North Georgia Electric
Company. The first was In the United
States circuit court before Judge Shel
by at Huntsville, by John A. Nesblt, of
Xenia, Ohio, through Attorneys Brown
& Randolph, and this waa turned
down. \
Then came on involuntary petition In
bankruptcy by Ellwood Allen, W.
Chamberlain and the Western Unton,
the latter claiming -the electric com
pany owed It 58 cents,
Then followed the petition for a re
ceiver to Referee Walker by the same
petitioners, which was granted, and
next the petition to Referee Adams for
a receiver by the Roebllngs.
According to Nesbtt's petition, the
company has an excellent plant on the
Chattahoochee and Etownh rivers and a
dam 16 feet high with horse power at
60,000. It also says the company hoa a
power house equipped with dynamos
and water turbines and a transmission
line from Gainesville to Atlanta. It le
further shown that the company Is now
selling power at Gainesville, Buford
and Norcrots and Intends selling It In
Atlanta.
This ts the company that was fighting
the Georgia Rfllway and Electric Com
pany In Atlanta, and which agreed to
sell electricity considerably cheaper,
but which was later underbid by the
Atlanta concern.
At 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon still
another petition waa presented and Died
In the Federal court. This last one was
by Attorney Harry A. Alexander for the
John A. Roebllng's Sons Company, of
Trenton, N. J.. the plaintiff In another
petition to Referee Adams. In this pe
tition It Is alleged that Referee Walker
had no jurisdiction In the matter be
cause the principal office of the North
Georgia Electric Company was In At
lanta. For that reason he asks that
the order appointing Samuel C. Dunlap
receiver be set aside. No action baa
yet been taken.
While Chief Jentsen, of the sanitary
department, members of the board of
health, Mayor Joyner, several members
of the general council and an Interested
crowd, of plain clttxens looked admir
ingly on, the new street flusher was
given a test at noon Thursday and
proved so satisfactory that the city of
ficials want eleven more like It.
The first test was made at Whitehall
and Alabama streets, and when the
water from tho tank was shot to the
asphalt pavement the dirt and trash
disappeared aa If by magic and was
washed by the water Into the sewers.
To give It a more thorough teat, the
flusher was taken up Alabama street
and worked on the block In front of The
Georgian office between North Broad
and North Forsyth streets. This street
Is paved with belglan blocks, but this
made no difference to the flusher. As
soon as the sheet of water with the air
pressure behind It was turned on the
dirt was washed Into the gutter and the
street not only cleaned, but the dust
removed.
Everybody Pleased.
There was not a city ofilclal present
who was other than well pleased with
the teat. The flueher waa recently pur
chased by Chief Jentsen for the city,
and now that It does the work success
fully, more will be ordered, as has been
urged by The Georgian.
"With twelve of these fiyshers," said
Chief Jentsen, “I can save the city
15,000 a year In labor albne, without
counting the great number of brooms
and other Implements worn out Twelve
of them will do away with half of the
wagons we are compelled to use. I
have been wanting this for four years—
ever slnoe I saw one In St. Louie.”
Mayor Joyner waa also enthusiastic
In his praise of the flusher and said ho
told Chief Jentsen about It several
years ago after he had seen how well
It worked. Chief Jentsen says In St.
Louis they use these flushers three
times a week on the streets and that
they are always kept clean.
TWO—NEW STREET FLUSHER
Another feature is that the water
used In flushing the streets Is used for
two purposes. It washes the dirt from
the street and then does work flushing
out the sewers. So the city gets Its
streets washed and Its sewers flushed
with the same water.
Need Eleven More.
Councilman Roberts, Martin, Man-
gum and Huddleston eaw the test and
expressed themselves as thoroughly
satisfied. Mayor Joyner fully backed
up Chief Jentsen In his desire for more
of them, and it the sanitary department
does not get 12 Immediately, it will be
because the city’s treasury can not
stand that many at once. It Is quite
probable that more will be ordered.
The flusher resembles a sprinkling
cart, except that the tank Is steel In
stead of wood. The water le sent Into
the tank from a fire plug and the air In
the tank, Instead of being excluded by
the water, Is compressed until there Is
as much pressure In the tank as there
Is behind the water coming out of the
plug. This means that the water le
shot from'the flusher to-the streets with
a pressure of forty pounds or more.
The result ts that dirt and trash—even
big pieces of watermelon rinds—i
washed Into the gutter end floated
the Intake basins.
The flusher appeals to the medical
men on the board of health because of
lte sanitary features. There le no dust
and germs don't have much chance to
get busy. After tho test the officials
went to tho city dumping grounds,
where they were the guests of Chief
Jentsen at a barbecue.

Louis A. Gourdatn, millionaire con
vict and known throughout the United
States because of his eccentric and
frantlo efforts to break Into the Federal
penitentiary. Is now on hie way, In
charge of United States officials, to the
government asylum for the Insane.
He left at 12:15 Thursday for Wash
ington, and unless he recovers he will
spend the balance of his sentence of
4 1-2 years In a mad house.
That Gouraaln's eccentric ways after
his conviction of using the malls to de
fraud were caused by a diseased brain
is now demonstrated by the decision of
government surgeons.
With him to the mad house of Uncle
Sam at Washington went John Peter
son. another convict at the Atlanta
Federal prison. He Is a life convict,
and was sent up for robbing the malls.
Both prisoners were transferred on
Thursday under a heavy guard
United States deputy marshals from the
Atlanta prison and upon orders from
the department of justice will be In
carcerated In the Insane asylum which
the government maintains near Wash
ington for all Insane persons, criminal
or otherwise.
A Noted Prisoner.
Gourdatn Is one of the most noted
prisoners ever In the custody of Uncle
Sam. He waa convicted In Chicago of
using the malls to defraud and was
sent to the prison at Joliet, III. During
his trial he made a speech to the jury
and declared that It he was convicted
he would never appeal his case, but
would serve his sentence.
After he was sent to the pen at Joliet,
his attorneys appealed his case and ha
then startled the country by racing
back and forth between Washington
and Chicago endeavoring to get some
Federal judge to send him to the pen,
Ho even threatened to build a peni
tentiary of his own next to the prison
at Joliet, hire his own guards and war
den and serve out his sentence of four
and one-halt years.
He was Interviewed In cities all over
the country and denounced the attempt
to keep him from the pen.
Would 8ink His Ship.
Another of his eccentric promt
was that he would buy a ship, take
all his family aboard, give his millions
away to the people he was alleged to
have buncoed with the aid of a lottery
and sink the ship In midocean.
All his promises, however, were un
necessary, for- the fight of his lawyers
In the courts availed nothing, and he
was sent to Joliet to serve his sentence.
After being there a short time he was
transferred to Atlanta lost June.
Not long ago It was seen that Oour
daln's mind was affected, and after a
thorough examination by prison sur
geons he was declared Insane and he
was ordered to the government asylam.
Gourdatn originally came from New
Orleans, and Is a millionaire several
times over. He Is said to have made
his money largely through lotteries, and
It was for attempting a game of this
sort through the malls that he got Into
the clutches of Uncle Sam.

LITTLE ROCK TEAM
Finn to Pitch Eyler Today,

Saturday.
Bo satisfactory to the commissioners
waa the statement made to the railroad
commission Thursday morning by
President W. T. Gentry, of tho Southern
Bell Telephone Company, that It was
directed that the matter before the
commission practically be dropped, un
less A. A. Smith, who brought a pier,
for restoration of the night rates,
should bring further facts to bear on
the case.
The hearing waa In the nature of an
Informal one, but Chairman McLendon
and Commissioners Hlllyer and Hill
deemed the showing so strong that they
held that Mr. Smith had failed to sub
stantiate his allegations.
At the same time the commission dl.
rected President Gentry to furnish, as
soon os obtainable, figures to show the
actual effect on business since the night
rate was taken off. President Gentry
stated that these comparative figures
were under preparation now, but that
owing to abnormal conditions, existing
because of the telegraphers’ strike, It
might bo some time before such com*
parlsons would be of real value.
On September 1 the Southern Bell
abolished Its night rates, giving aa a
reason that It caused congestion of
business during the time such rates
■wore effective. A. A- Smith, of the A.
A. Smith Produce Companye-wrole the
commission asking that an Investiga
tion be mode and the night rats re
stored.
“Stock Worth $1,000.'
BRADLEY’S HIGH FENCE
CUTS OFF HOPPE’S LIGHT
WILL BUILD
Mr. Smith charged that Southern Bell
stock, par value 1100, Is now selling for
11,000. He also complained of the
withdrawal of the reduced rates on
tloket purchases of 1100 worth.
Thursday morning Colonel Gentry
and Judge H. E. W. Palmer, assistant
to the president, called at the office of
the railroad commission at 11:10 o'clock
by appointment. Colonel Gentry made
a very clear and frank statement.
I hold strongly to the view that the
telephone business shouljl be under the
jurisdiction of the corporation commis
sion," he said. "I have always bitterly
opposed municipal control of such bust
ness, because In a multiplicity of views
difficulties arise. T.he telephone bust
ness Is a natural monopoly, and as such
it should be under the supervision ot
the ralli'oad commission.
'If there Is any business in the world
In which there Is a mass of misinfor
mation, or rather a lack of understand
Inc, It Is the telephone business. We
will be more than eager to furnish any
figures or facts desired by this commis
sion, because I believe the Intelligent
understanding of our business by such
a body will make for the general good.
"Different From Telegraph.”
"For the past two years telephone
companies have been considering the
uestlon of abolishing the night rates,
_'he Cumber
months ago. A night telephone mes
sage differs very greatly from a night
telegraph message. A night telegram
Is received and sent at night when
convenient, but Is not delivered until
next day. In a night telephone message
there must necessarily be
tween the parties talking over the
wires.
We found that this night rate so
—jgeited our wires
handle the business
money by congestion within a few
hours. I am frank to say that the
money Idea did not enter Into the mat
ter at all, so far os applying the same
rates day and night la concerned.
“Mr. Smith's statement that Southern
Bell stock is worth 11,000 per share Is
founded on misinformation. I dare BBy
any stockholder would be glad to get
1105 a share. I do not recall any
stock ever selling above that figure. As
for the ticket or coupon system, we
abolished that several years ago.
that arrangement we sold for 176 cash
1100 worth of tickets. In the entire
■even states of our jurisdiction we had
exactly two contracts when that waa
abolished.
'Another matter about which the
public Is greatly misinformed Is the
view held by so many that the South
ern Bell takes a hand In politics. I can
■ay In nil truth that not only do we
not do so, but no employee of the com
pany ever has been, or Is Instructed,
asked or approached as to who he
should vote for In any election. In the
last campaign our chief counsel was
an ardent supporter of Governor Smith,
i were many others In the company.”
The commission will write A. A.
Smith a letter telling him that unless
new facts are submitted the cose will
be considered at an end.

MR. BRADLEY’S FENCE IN INMAN PARK.
Exercising the right vouchsafed to
him by the law pf man to build what-'
ever kind of structure he pleases upon
his own property, S. J. Bradley, of 27
Hurt street. In Inman Park, has erected
a hlgh-board fence separating his resi
dence from one erected by Lewis D.
Hoppe, which Is the wonder of all the
residents of the neighborhood and the
passers-by.
The fence Is 2! feet high and 48 feet
long. It reaches to the roof of the
house built by Mr. Hoppe and extends
back the entire length of the residence.
It Is built along the line dividing the
property of the two gentlemen named
and Is situated about 2 1-2 feet from
the house of Mr. Hoppe.
- It was erected by Mr. Bradley about
three weeks ago, and thereby hangs a
tale.
For nearly fifteen years the two gen
tlemen have owned adjoining lots on
Hurt street. Mr. Bradley occupied a
residence situated near the center of
his lot. while Mr. Hoppe paid taxes on
a good lot for a house—or two houses,
as Is now the case. .... . „-
Recently Mr. Hoppe decided to build
on his lot. which has a frontage of 100
feet, and ho accordingly drew plans for
two houses. In order to get tiro houses
oh the lot and give reasonable space
between, Mr. Hoppe had to crowd'each
house pretty close up to the dividing
line on each side. As a matter of fact,
one of them—the one with the fence on
the side—butted up within about 2 1-2
feet of Mr. Bradley's driveway and In
close proximity to his residence.
Boeing what was about to be done,
Mr. Bradley promptly raised an objec
tion.
Wanted Light and Air.
"I moved out hero originally," said
he, "to get light and air and plenty of
room. If that house Is built that close
to me I will get very little of cither,
on one side at least.”
Then he asked Mr. Hoppe, so he says,
to put only one house on the lot. But
one house didn't satisfy Mr. Hoppe,
and he expressed his Intention to go on
with the building.
"I'll build a fence right up against It
If you come close to me,” said Mr.
Bradley.
And he dl/l.
The fence' Is there yet, and so la the
house.
Mr. Bradley says the fence will stay
there and Mr. Hoppe could not be lo-
ptttd to give an expression on what he
intends to do about the house.
By direct taxation Instead of bonds
the county will raise the first 1104,000
to build the new court house.
A tax rate of 8.5 mills on the dollar
wae fixed by the county commissioners
at their meeting Thursday, with the
stipulation that 1100.000 of the total
Income of 1651,000 Is to be set aside as
a firs* payment on the new building,
which It ts proposed to begin within a
year.
This rate of 8.5 mills Is an Increase
of 1.7 mHls over last year. The Increase
la for the express purpose of building
the court house. Had the commission
ers fixed the old rate of 4.8 mills and
waited on the result of the 1100,000
bond election to be called some time In
October, It Is probable that the bonds
would have been defeated and there
would have been a lack of money In the
treasury for court house purposes.
The figures showing tho Incomes for
this year and last year are ns follows:;
1907—Taxes from 173.473.865
In property at 6.5 mills 1477,100.00
Railroad taxes and other rev
enues 71,000.00
Total 1658,100.00
1906—Taxes from 168,106.750
In property at 4.8 mills ..1330,553.75

revenues — .. 55.000.00

NEGRO FALLS FROM MAST
AND 18 KILLED IN8TANTLY
Special to Ths Georgian.
Bavannah, Go.,- Sept. 12.—George
Dixon, colored, fell from the mfszen-
mast of the schooner Josephine, ninety
feet to the deck below, and was Instant
ly killed yesterday. His arms and
legs were broken In numerous places,
his skull also being crushed, his Jaw
bone broken and some of his teeth
were later extracted from the deck.
Total 1374,564.76
The new tax, in tho opinion of the
commissioners, provides ample funds
for the county. Should the court house
bonds carry, taxes next year will be re.
duced about 1.6 mills, provided the
money Is not needed for other purposes.
Total Tax Rate.
With the 8.5 mills rate fixed by tho
county the total for state and county
this year will probably be 11.6 mills,
as the state, it Is believed, will Imposa
a tax of 6 mills. This will mean some
thing over 1 per cent on property as
valued on tho tax books.
Present at the meeting Thursday
were Commissioners Anderson, Palmer
and Carter, composing a quorum. Com
missioners Maddox and Rosser are ab
sent from the city. There was no op
position to the rate suggested by Colo
nel Anderson and the action was unan
imous.
The general plan for the court housa
will call for an expenditure of some
thing like 1100,000 by the county. It
city and county build together. Colo
nel Anderson believes that the cost will
be greater and both the 1100,000 by
taxation and the 1100,000 by bonds will
be needed. In this case there would ba
no cut rate taxation.
If the bonds never carry It Is tha
plan of the commissioners to raise the
money altogether by direct taxation,
extending over three or four years—
about 1100.000 per year.
Bailiff Held Up.
Two negroes armed with bricks held
up Bailiff Lancaster of Judge Dod-
gen's court at the corner of Lucklo
and Magnolia streets at 11 o'clock
Wednesday night. They had tho wrong
man. for the bailiff draw his pistol and
fired. The negroes ran down Mag
nolia street. Plain Clothes Officers
Brandon and Norris Joined In the
chase, but the negroes escaped.
