OFFICERS TO
Governor Orders New
Bill Printed and.Pre
pares Letter.
Now that ha has a convict law to
support him. Governor Hoke Smith
took the first steps Monday to make
sure of an end to the leaee system
when the present lease expires on
Maroh 81. 1808.
He ordered copies of the new law
printed and la framing a letter which
he will send with a copy of the bin to
every ordinary In the state. He In
tends for the officials of eaeh county
In the state to thoroughly understand
the situation, and he will use every
effort to have every oounty take Its
share of the convicts to be ueed on
the roads and other public works.
In his letter to the ordinaries Gov
ernor Smith will urge thoee offlclali to
confer with the county commissioners
and make arrangements to take con
victs when the preeent leaee expires.
By strenuously beginning work Imme
diately and pointing out to the county
offlclali how they may take advantage
of the law. It Is believed that the gov
ernor will create such a demand for the
convict* that there will not only be
none left to be dlepoeed of by the prie-
on commission, but that there will not
be enough to meet the demand of the
counties.

Old Cry of “Busted
Sounds Again, But
Unjustified.
Help! Help! No money, the city with,
out funds for anything!
I, la the same old thre*-tlmea-a-y*ar
familiar cry from the comptroller* of
fice and the finance committee.
Just as the time approaches for
making up the apportionment sheet,
whether It be In January, June or Oc
tober, somebody looks over the situa
tion and finds the city ha* no money
for any Improvement*, and barely
enough to keep the department* run
"'in thl* wav the finance committee
and the council are not worried by nu
merous call* for assistance, and the de.
pertinents meke their request* for ap.
proprlatlons a little more modest than
would otherwise be.
In June a howl was sent up that
there was no money for additional Im
provements. The Georgian carried
•om. figure* showing about 878,000 or
lion.ooo more than had been estimated,
snd the finance committee and the
comptroller’* office yelled In horror that
It could not be so—that the city had no
money.
In a short while the finance commit,
tee found enough to make ample pro
visions for the Fifth Ward School, to
buy a lot for the Fifth Ward Library,
to send numerous council committees
off on Jaunts to conventions In all part*
of the country, to provide funds to dig
l reservoir, purchase a watershed for
the reservoir and do numerous other
things.
Same Old Cry.
Now It Is the tame celamlty howl.
"City without funds. Barely enough to
provide for the departments. No In
crease over estimates In the June
iheet.”
No Increase In waterworks receipt*
l» figured on, but the Increase now Is
lt.10A.03, and Frank Lake, president of
the water board, estimates the Increase
*HI be 28.000 or 87,000 for the year.
The business licensee, estimated to
he what they were laet year, show an
Increase of several thousand dollars.
No money anticipated for near-beer,
hut the city clerk's office figures that
the city has received about 87,800 from
n**r-beer this year.
In January the receipts In recorder's
court were estimated at 810.000. In
Jute they was estimated at 8*0.000. It
now looks that the receipts will be
hearer 870,000.
No Increases th taxes estimated In
January, it Is now probable that the
Increase will be about 8*0.000 or more.
And so down the line.

Even at this time the loss that tvlll
result from the sweeping fires can not
be estimated. Business Is so badly
crippled that It will require weeks to
get It to normal again. Figured con
servatively, upon the apparent damage
done, the loss will reach 88.000,000, but
Indirectly the loaa will be. much greater.

and has confused the mall system so
greatly that the authorities have Issued
bulletins to the people stating that It

Origin ft Mysterious.
The origin of the fire Is somewhat
mysterious and numerous rumors gain
ed currency today while the Investiga
tion waa being made by the police. It
was reported that the conflagration was
of an Incendiary nature, but later this
gave way to the newer rumor that It
had originated from a short circuit. The
employees of the central office are be
ing questioned today, but ao far this
has revealed nothing.
The description of the fire as told by
the young women employed In the office
Is most graphic. The girls were first
aroused by clouds of smoke which
surged thru the building, seemingly
from nowhere. The burning gutta
percha, which was used In great quan
tities In the telephone equipment, add
ed a pungent volume, which wa* almost
deadly to the Inmates of the place.
Within a short time the office* on th*
entire five floor* .of the building were
so completely filled with smoke a* to
render escape a perilous action. The
■women found their way to the window*
by keeping close to. the wall*.
The firemen raised ladders and car
ried down th* half-falntlng women,
while others ascended the roof* to ad
joining building*, carrying ladders snd
exes snd lines of hose upon their er

ence With Chairmen
Mack and Herrick.
NEW VORK, Sept. 21.—The New
York Press today has the . following
news report on the conference between
W. J. Brysn, National Democratic
Chairman Norman E. Mack and D.
Cady Herrick. In Albany:
'Chairman Mack nnd Brysn talked
over the Hesrat charges against Gov
ernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, the treas
urer of the Democratic national com
mittee. Parker's advice wa* sought In
this Inslnnc*. Mack was reticent on
his return last night when questioned
about Haskell, but he Intimated that,
altho Senator Forsker hss been driven
from tho Taft campaign by Hearst's
accusation In connection with Stand
ard Oil, Haskell will not quit *o easi
ly,
‘‘He will rest hie case limply on a
fist denial of the truth of Hearet's ac
cusation.
"It Is evident, however, that Bryan,
Mack and other Democratic leader* are
embarrassed seriously by Hearst'e
charge that Standard Oil Interests are
on friendly terme with Brysn In this
campaign. Bryan, it was learned. In
tended to 'moke a great play' In the
West on his assertion that the steel
trust I* supporting Ihe Taft campaign.
"Off# of Bryan’s closest friends said
yesterday the Nebraskan will make
most prominent hereafter hie plan to
have national hunks guarantee their
deposits, as he believes this Is a popu
lar cry. Brysn has said confidentially
that he believes ,ths bank guarantee
plan is one of hla strongest Issues In
this campaign, as It has been received
well everywhere he has used It for a
text.
Another change hss been made nec.
essary In Bryan's plans. He was pre
paring to picture Hearst st really 'In
cahoots' with the Republicans for a
consideration, but Hearst's attack on
Foraker and the consternation' It hss
caused In Republican ranks will cause
Bryan to go el uv In assailing Hearst
along the line planned.
Prominent Democrat* advised Bry-
yesterday that Hearst Is Injuring
the Republican pnrty even more than
he is hurting Bryan, snd that It would
best for Brysn to give him plenty
of rope, anil pay as little attention to
him as possible."
