The county's women convicts, prac

In finding them suitable wor.
Brick making la considered compar

the class of women sent as convicts to

make Its own brick hereafter.
For the sum of about S1D0.400 the
county commissioners expect to sell the

CHIEF CUMMINGS

W. n. Camming*, chief of the Atlanta lire

for the new engine bouse.
From there he will go to Washington tn

chaVged by the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company and the Atlanta Gas
Light Company.
"If there is any Irregularity In the
reading of meters no one wants to
know of It more than 1," continued Mr.
Arkwright. "I do not want a single
patron of these companies to pay more
than a fair and Just price for the serv
ice. A city meter Inspector under prop
er regulations will also relieve the com
pany of many complaints. Whenever
our customers complain to us we will
be glad to refer the complaints to the
city Inspector and abide his decision."
Mr. Arkwright expressed himself i
gratified at the result of the committee
hearings on the Tqrrell resolution. He
said he believed It was a good thing to
hold these conferences occasionally and
give the officials of the companies nnd
the city fathers an opportunity to un
derstand each other.

, City Tax Collector.
“I base my case against my son-ln
law upon hln cruel treatment of hla
wife and certain circumstantial ovl
dence,” said Mrs. M. J. Jenkins, of 222
Smith street, who Tuesday caused the
arrest of H. B. Krumholz on a charge
of murdering hla wife, Mrs. Rosalie
Krumholz, on August R at their home,
139 South Forsyth street.
Krumholz, who Is In Ihe custody
Deputy Sheriff Miller nnd continues
to serve his customers at his barber
shop on Decatur strert, calmly asserts
his Innocence. He says that the fatal
pistol shot was accidental, aa found
by the coroner's Jury.
With a number of witnesses, Mrs.
Jenkins will go before the grand Jury
Thursday nnd endeavor to secure an
Indictment. She had Krumhcls arrest
ed Tuesday, she says, because she
feared he would endeavor to run away.
"I will try to show that Krumholz
has abused hla wife fer many years,'
said Mrs. Jenkins Wednesday, "and
that he has a dreadful temper. Once
he flew Into a rago when we were llv
Ing In St. Louis, In 1905, and struck
his wife In the back with a heavy
hand satchel. I' ran for a doctor, but
when he came Krumholz met him at
the door and told him there was no
trouble at all. A second doctor came,
and I saw him In myself. He said that
the Injuries were serious.
"My daughter ran off with Krumholz
about eight years ago. They went to
Porto Rico and were married. They
stayed there four years. Then my
daughter left hint and came back to
me. She said he was running a saloon
and had put her behind the bar to wait
on the natives and soldiers, and that
she could not stand It. He kept writ
ing to her and at last came here to
live with. her.
My daughter was terribly afraid of
her husband. She said he threatened
to kill her If she left him. As a gen
eral thing, she submitted to his abuse,
but sometimes talked .bank to .him.
That made hlm furloiis.
'We have never found tbe clothes
my daughter wore to the theater the
night she was killed. Krumholz told
us we could have all her clothes, but we
could not find the white shirt waist
or skirt or anything but the shoes.
Then his statement about the time he
returned home that night Is peculiar.
He says they got home at about 12
o'clock, and after hunting for u burglar
went to bed. He saya he went to sleep
and when he heard a noise at the
window raised up and fired. Well,
know my daughter wae dead at .
o'clock, and I don't see how all that
could have happened In such a short
while.”

kindness Instead of fear, and the dogs
do some really fancy stunts. One of
them turns a whole string of back

an acrobat might envy, while a pair
of puppies keep the children In an up
