ister hnd become deeply Interested In
th« "black art” and night after night
he would go to Wlllman's house and
explain Its mysteries to him. Finally
they both arrived at the stage, he said,
where they could heal the sick and
perform divers other mlrracles.
According to Wlllman, they decided
to travel and show their accomplish
ments. Wlllman was to purchase the
paraphernalia anil Dowla was to be
outdone. The *500 given to Wlllman
was to be used for this purpose. Dick
enson drew this from the bank nnd
gave It to Wlllman, but the latter
thought life In the Golden West was
preferable to being a follower of the

to go to Los Angeles. Wlllman was

ARNOLD BROx7.ES.
Clerk Superior Court, Fulton County, Gn.
The Terrell resolution, providing that
council, through n committee, shall ask
the railroad commission to tlx lower
rates for gas, street car fare and tele
phones, was advened by the Joint com.
mlttee, to which It was referred, Tues
day afternoon.
The resolution would have been ad-
versed last week, but the committee
agreed to wait until Tuesday, when W.
T. Gentry, vice president of the South
ern Bell, could present the argument of
the Dell against the resolution, and also
In order that ho might give some ex
planation of the unsatisfactory service.
Mr. Gentry said the service might not
be satisfactory, but It was as good ns It
Is anywhere else. Ho told of the natu
ral Impatience of a-man at the 'phone,
of his Inclination to blame |t all on the
telephone service whan the man he
calls Is not In his office; of the trials
and tribulations of the operators; of
the great amount of money being spent
on Improvements of the service; of the
natural tendency of such resolutions as
those proposed to cause additional trou
ble In raising tho money for those Im
provements.
Mr. Gentry stated that It was Im
practicable to tlx a llat. standard rate
for telephones; that the charges vary
under varying conditions; that the
commissions of other states had found
telephone 6ctvdulcs of rates about the
most Intricate matter they tackled.
“Are Doing Our Best."
"We ore doing nil we can to make
the service satisfactory,” stated Mr.
Gentry.
“Alt we have In the world la tele
phone service. Our life depends on the
quality of the goods we sell, people
will not buy our service unless It Is
good—unless It returns the worth of
their money. It Is to our interests to
furnish the very best service we can,
and If any member of council or any
body else has a suggestion to make that
would Improve the service and Is In tho
bounds of reason, We would be glad to
receive and adopt It. ,
“As far as petitioning the railroad
commission to reduce rates Is con
cerned, I am satisfied that the commis
sion Is going to fix rates for every city
and town In the state .without a peti
tion.” *
Mr. Gentry spoke of the new Auburn
avenue exchange, which will be In use
In a few months, and of the 45,000 sub
scribers It would accommodate. Coun
cilman Terrell asked him for the basis
of rates.
"The basis—" replied Mr. Gentry,
“and a person Is liable to get shot for
saying this—Is the worth to the sub
scriber and not the cost to us. This Is
the reason-why a business 'phone costs
more than one In a- residence. Of
. a general average Is maintained
which will pay a fair rate on the In
vestment."
Corporations Rspresentsd.
Preston Arkwright, president of the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany; T. K. Glenn, vice president, and
G. W. Brine, president or the gas com
pany, were all In attendance at tht
meeting, as was also "Lone Cltisen'
B. Lee.
Mr. Arkwright had already spoken In
behalf of the street car and the gas
companies, so had nothing further to
say relative to the resolution Tuesday.
Alderman Qullllan, Alderman Beu-
tell. Councilman Hancock. Councilman
Grant and Councilman Huddleston
each In turn recited their reasons for
voting adversely on the resolution,
Councilman Terrell bnly holding out for
a favorable report.
Following were tome of the objec
tlona raised to the resolution; tho rail
road commission will take up rate and
service question of these corporations
anyway; to send the matter to the com
mission would. In a way, be to projudgl
the caae; the corporations affected- by
the resolution havs always been willing
to treat fairly with the city, are not ar
bltrary. and have always been gener
ous; that, even If fares were reduced, It
would be nt the expense of the service
ths service Is being Improved j-lgh:
along and this and not cheaper
what the people are asking for
Councilman Terrell put up a hard
fight for his resolptlnn.
"We ought to have a system of meter
Inspection which wilt Insure the people
of Atlanta a fair, aquare deal, amt all
of you know that,” stated Councilman
Torrell.
^ Determine Franchise.
"Ths length of the franchise of the
gas company should be determined. The
company claims one that laats forever.
It may have expired already nnd they
may be-operating without a franchise.
One of the first things the commission
will do will be to determine and settle
that question.
”1 give It to you as my honest opinion
that one of the principal reasons why
the Georgia Railway nnd Electric Com
pany Is fighting this resolution so stren
uously Is becmui
ORIENTALS MUST
LEAVE VANCOUVE
Resident Says the Feeling is
Bitter and Trouble is
Coming.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 2.—The feeling
against Orientals In Vancouver Is still
very bitter and the trouble Is very re
mote from settlement. A prominent
merchant, B. A. Cole, on a business trip
to Seattle, when asked* about the feel
Ing In Vancouver, said:
"Every time a resident of Vancouver
sees a Japanese or a Chinaman his first
Impulse Is to heave a rock at the of
fensive Individual. In fact, the
Japanese feeling In Vancouver Is great
er today than It is in any other city of
the coast. When I make this statement
I do not exclude Ban Francisco.
"The people of British Columbia
would use violence against the Hindus,
but the Hindu Is a subject of Great
Britain and they fear the wrath of the
mother government. The Hindu must
go as well as the Japanese and the Chi
naman. Wo will not stand for either
and we will take means to stop their
entry In our country. The Hindus, be
Ipg British subjects, will receive gov
ernmental protection to a degree. When
anybody states that we Britishers have
any love for either of these three racea
they lie."
Personal Mention
Continued from Pago Nins.
use the officials are afraid
to have the light of day shine upon that
gas franchise.
'This rate and service question will
be bobbing up all the time. It should be
settled, threshed out. and be at an end.
It would really be good policy for the
companies or corporations to advocate
this resolution so thnt It may be aettled.
"Some of you gentlemen talk about
anybody petitioning the commission to
do this. The burden should not be
placed on any Individual. It will Involve
considerable expense and considerable
trouble and time. The city, on the other
hand, has men paid to do this kind of
work, and the city |s a customer of
these companies—probably the largest
they have.
"If you gentlemen object to the rates
named In the resolution, then change
them and report the substitute. This
will suit me. If you think It Is prejudg
ing the case to name any rates at all.
why Just say word it so that the com
mission will Hx reasonable rates.' This
win suit me. Something ought to be
donn, and we ought to do It."
Alderman Curtis and Alderman Pe
ters. who were not at the meeting, stat
ed prevlousfy that they also would sign
the adverse report. The minority re
port, which will be returned by Coun
cilman Terrell, will be signed only by
himself.

DR, AVARY FINED:
Mrs. Crumpton' Tells Her
Opinion of Avarys in a
Forcible Manner,
The fight feature of the Avary
Crumpton controversy over the two lit
tie girls. Clarice and Helen, was aired
In the police court Tuesday afternoon,
when Dr; Arch Avary was fined *25.75
on a charge of disorderly conduct, and
the cases against Colonel R. L. Avary
and A. 8. Crumpton were dismissed.
Mrs. Crumpton's opinions of the
Avarys were admitted as evidence and
proved spicy. Otherwise the testimony
was restricted to what.occurred at the
Avary drug store, on Broad street, last
Friday, when the two unclea of the
little girls on the one side and the aunt
and uncle by marriage on the other en-
gaged In a sensational fight,
The Avarys admitted that Dr. Arch
Avary had struck Crumpton,'but de
nled that any one else had taken part
In the fight. They also denied that
they had Invited the Crumptons to tho
drug store to tell the children goodby.
Mrs. Crumpton admitted having
taken part In the fight with her um
brella and declared that Colonel R. L.
Avary struck her. This Colonel Avary
denied She state!) that both Dr. Arch
Avary and Colonel Avary beat her hus,
band. Wltnesse corroborated Dr. Ava
ry and stated that he did not strike
Crumpton.
Colonel Avary was acting ns attorney
for himself and brother and sought to
show Intense hatred on the part of the
Crumptons toward the Avarys and that ,
the Avary drug store was the last place
the Crumptons should have visited.
He also tried to show that the petl
tlon of Mrs. Crumpton for tho guar
dlanshlp of the person and property of
Dr. M. B. Avary’s children had been
denied by Judge Wilkinson In Janunry,
1906, and that this action was sustained
by the supreme court; that tho Crump
tons had turned over the children to
Dr. Avary In June, 1*07, and that **00
waa given the Crumptons In final set-
tlement for all claims, but this evidence
was ruled out.
In showing the feelings of the Crump
tons, Colonel Avary asked Mrs. Crump,
ton:
"What do you think of Dr. Arch
Avury?"
"I have the profoundost contempt for
him,” she replied, her eyes flashing.
"What dp you think of me?"
"I utterly despise, Tou. I think you
art the meanest man on earth.”
•'What do you think of Dr. M. B.
Avary?"
"I have a great pity for him. Ha Is
an imbecile and under your control."
Mrs. Crumpton wss greatly agitated,
