Coffee, formerly o farmer and mill owner of Henry county, tho sensational counter feiting case which stirred Atlanta In 1904 will be revived. When Coffee receives his liberty, there will be only one remaining In the prison and he will be released shortly after the first of the new year. The mat of tho group which caused ono of Atlanta’s nine-day wonders la J. N. Llt- The others of the group received shorter sentences and have been en joying liberty for some time. Tho case which sent four Atlanta men to tho prison and caused tho ar rest of two others occurred In 1904* and the plot to float *18.000 In "phony" bank notes was nipped by secret serv let officers. , It was charged by the government that Coffee was the man who furnished the money to have the counterfeit plates made. J. N. Little, who will re ceive his liberty early In 1908, was charted with having been the go-be tween and the man who secured an engraver to do the crooked work. Oscar McMtchael and Clarence W. Rebb were two pressmen who were convicted by the government and sent up. It was charged they printed tho queer and that WUl Wynne made the plates. Wynne confessed and was used by the government as a witness. He admitted helping to mako the plates, and Implicated another, but no convic tion was secured In tho case of the alleged accomplice. Coffee and Little were sentenced to pay a fine of 81,000 each and to serve four years. McMtchael and Rebb got 1500 each and two years. The cose against Wynne was quashed by tho government. Arrests were made soon after at. tempts were made to pass some of the money. Theso led to tho finding of the plates under tho floor of a local print shop and of 813,000 In queer money burled on the outskirts of the city. y NEW FACES IN HEALTH BOARD Terms of Members Expire and New Men Must Be Elected.

Taylor has received from tho mayor of Milwaukee will upset tho whole pump problem again Monday, from all pres ent Indications. This letter deals with the pump the Wisconsin Engine Company built for the city of Milwaukee, and Councilman Taylor, after reading It, will offer a res. olution providing for the appointment of a committee to visit Milwaukee and Investigate the facts there contained. ’Till* only vertical pump the Wiscon sin Engine Company has ever con structed of the type of the one proposed for Atlanta Is that at Milwaukee, and representatives of the Wisconsin Com pany represented to the committee and to council that this pump has given perfect satisfaction. The council’s decision was based largely on the Impression that this pump has been doing satisfactory work. It Is probable that council will adopt the resolution by Councilman Taylor and that the committee will visit MU waukee. If the committee reports un favorably on the service being done by tho Wisconsin pump, the city will be where It was about ten months ago on the pump question. The letter from Mayor Becker, of Milwaukee, came In response to a re quest from Councilman Taylor for In formation In regard to the pump. Following Is that part of the letter dealing with the Wisconsin pump: “December 10, 1907.—Mr. Walter A Taylor, City Councilman, Atlanta, Qa. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of tho 6th Instant, etc., will say that the contract for tho first engine with the Wisconsin Engine Company was awarded December 2, 1904, and their guarantee to have the engine ready In regular service was within twelve months from date of contract award. This engine was started September 25, 1906, and has since been In operation, except when shut down for alterations, at different times since started. Con sequently It has not been In regular service long enough to determine Its efficiency and Anal acceptance has not been given. "The contract for the second engine was awarded In August, 1906, to the Wisconsin Engine Company on account of their price, being 318,500 under the next lowest bidder, and was to be placed In regular operation within twelve months thereafter. At the pres, ent time the first parts of this engine are at the pumping station and erection work has Just begun. Our engineers estimate that It will be ready for op eration about May, 1908.

NEW WATER BOARD NAMED ON MONDAY The nearer tho time comes for the election of members of tho water board, ths more doubt seems to exist as to who will be chosen. The election Is on Monday. The terms of Frank P. Rice, of the Eighth ward; W. S. Duncan, of the Third ward, and Frank G. Lake, of the Fourth ward, expire. The opinion prevails at the city hall that Mr. Rice will be re-elected unan imously. He states positively that he will not accept the place. George Win, ship, Sam D. Jones and Eugene Calla, way are mentioned as his successors. In the Fourth ward, Alderman Joseph Hlrsch has been mentioned, but It seems that a legal point will keep him out. It Is very likely that Mr. Lake will accept the position for another term. In the Third ward, Alderman Holland has been mentioned, but the same legal difficulty Is In his way that confronta Alderman Hlrsch. It Is stated that he will resign his position on the alder- manic board In order to serve, but there is some doubt as to whether this will remove the difficulty. Others who are mentioned for the place are J. A. Fischer, Albert Bellln- grath and Will Dunn. Councilman Hancock, who Is chair man of the waterworks committee and cx-offlelo members of the water board, will be appointed chairman of the streets committee next year, and will not again be appointed chairman of the waterworks committee. It Is believed that Mayor Joyner will appoint Councilman-elect Steve R. Johnson chairman of the waterworks committee. Frank P. Rice, president of tho wa ter board, most positively will not be a candidate for re-election to the board, nor will he accept the place under any circumstances, because— Mr. Rice will be a candidate for council from the Eighth ward next year, and If he Is elected to ths water board this will prevent. This Is the, Information given out by one who says he knows and one who Is most probably In a position to know. Frank G. Lake will be a candidate for re-election to the water board! He says so himself. He will probably be re elected without apposition. From tho Third ward, It Is said Al derman Holland has retired In favor of W. E. Dunn. Mr. Dunn wilt have no opposition, It Is said. Bell Phones 462-565 Atlanta Phone 462 75 Whitehall Street. TRIBESMEN AGAIN FI Unable to Agree On Peace Terms French and Moors Fall To.
