COUNCIL TAKES A STEP
TO BALK COMMISSION
Resolution Provides For Revi
sion Reducing Government
to Half Its Membership.
There will be no election* of coun
dlmen or aldermen this year, altho
there will be ten vacancies In the coun-
cllmanlo branch of council and three In
the aldermanlc board on January 1,
and a number of candldaf.es are already
In the field for each place.
Whether commission government car
rles In Atlanta or not, general council
nut Itself on record Monday afternoon
u favoring revisions that will prevent
elections this fall.
The resolution presented to council
Monday afternoon was from members
who have remained rather quiet during
the agitation—Aldermen John 8. Can
dler, C. H. Kelley and James E. War
ren. But It came from men who have
consistently urged similar reforms, and
that 1* more than can be said of some
of the recent "reform movements
marled In council.
Reduction of Members.
Reduction of the different branches
of the municipal government and a del
egation of mors power to the mayor are
Its provision* And It Is safe to say
that council and the mayor, with possl-
bly a few revisions; will support ths
plan unanimously. No test vote was
taken Monday afternoon, but all about
whom there was redion for doubt were
seen personally by a Georgian reporter
and their attitude was expressed aa
favorable. , ...
This, It Is understood, meant that
Mayor Wlrin will stand against the com
mission plan to the last, as will general
council and the board members and
other city politician*.
Nobody Loses His Job.
The subtle power of the Candler res
elution is that no one Is legislated out
of office. Reductions are to take plaoe
only as term* expire. And It specific
ally and proudly boasts the retention
of ward lines.
It contemplates reducing council from
twenty to ten members, the reduction
to lake place this year by a failure to
elect ten new councllmen. But when
a new election does take place the
councllmen are to be selected by ward
primaries as they are today. The al
dermen are to represent live alderman
lc districts, according to population,
and they are to be elected by the city
at large. But the three vacancies that
occur this year are not to be filled.
Boards are to be reduced from twelve
to sis members, flvs of whom are to be
appointed by the mayor from the five
aldermanlc districts and approved by
council, and the sixth to be the mayor
himself, as nn ex-qfllcto member.
This resolution was referred to
committee of seven--John B. Candler,
A. J. Johnson, Aldlno Chambers, John
E. McClelland, Hajrvey Hatcher, James
R. Nutting and W. O. Humphrey—and
a report will be made back to council
at an adjourned meetlnr next Monday.
Councilman Chambers has an Ini
native, referendum and recall resolu
tion now In the hands of a special com
mittee, and this may be attached to the
council revision plans.
After the resolution had been read
Monday afternoon Judge Candler. roae
to speak and he made a number of In
teresting statements.
Candler Defend* System.
"I personally favor the ward ay#'
t«m." said the judge. “I think every
man should have some direct represen
tative to whom he can appeal."
Enthusiastic applause was accorded
by all the members of council. There
had been illustrations of these appeals
earlier In the' evening, for It was the
time of the near-beer light. About half
a hundred saloon keepers were In'the
chamber and they had been continually
•ppeallng to the members of council, as
also had about ISO women and men who
were protesting against a number of the
saloons.

Young Havemeyer Makes Elo
quent Plea For His Fathers’
Memory.
TRUSTS ARE GOOD THINGS
Witness Tells Committee They
Are Necessary to Our
Commercial Growth.
Washington, June 20,—Horace Have
meyer, only son of the late sugar king,
Henry O. Havemeyer, appeared before
the house committee Investigating the
sugar trust today and made an eloquent
defense of hit fat her.
Young Havemeyer, who Is but 25
years of age, furnished the committee
with little Information about the de
tails of the sugar trust, but he lm-
preseed every member of It with a eon’e
plea for the memory of hie fatber.
He declared that hie father was not
the financial pirate that some men
have tried to make him out: that he
was a philanthropist and that hit con
solidation of the sugar Industries in
1887 was for the good of those Indus
tries.
"My father's company at that time,'
said Mr. Havemeyer, "was In better
shape than most other companies,
and my father was In a position to
either run them out of business or to
combine them.”
He referred to the 110,000,000 of com■
mon stock In the National Sugar Re'
lining Company, about which there le
litigation because It stands In the name
of James H. Poet, president of the
National company, but It alleged to be
long to the Havemeyer estate.
Young Havemeyer sold if he could
obtain possession of this stock he would
make the National Sugar Refining
Company a competitor of the Ameri
can Sugar Refining Company.
The witness told the committee that
trusts are good for the country, altho
he admitted that they should be regu
lated.
"Trusts,” he said, “have a great deal
to do with the commercial growth of
the United. .State* and are necessary
to that growth." •

FOR PROPOSED OFFICE?
Macon Telegraph Says Not,
But It Is Shown That He
May Be Made So.
Since the announcement that General
Clement A. Evans would be appointed
adjutant general to succeed General A.
J. Scott, the question of his'eligibility
under the act of 1907 has been dis
cussed to no little extent and Tuesday
morning a news story appeared In The
Macon Telegraph raising this ques
tion.
The etory raised two points which
seemed to stand In the way as a bar
rier to General Evans' qualifying for
the place. The first was that under
the act of 1907 the governor Is required
to appoint as adjutant general one of
the officers of the National Guard of
Georgia. General Evane not being a
member of > the National Guard, the
question of ellglbilty naturally arose.
The second point brought out was the
rigid physical examination which le
necessary for one to pass to be eligible
for the appointment either aa adjutant
general or a member of the National
Guard.
When a copy of the paper containing
the article was ehown to Governor-elect
Hoke Smith, who has announced' his
Intention of appointing General Evans;
he stated that he would rather make no
statement regarding the matter at this
time. However, It was learned from a
source which is In close touch with the
governor-elect that the question raised
by The Macon Telegraph would easily
be obviated If the act were read care
fully. The set, while providing that no
one other than an officer of the Na
tional Guard of Georgia Is eligible for
the appointment, also gives the requi
site* for qualification for appointment
as an aid to the governor. General
Evans qualifies for such appointment
by the clause which makes Confeder
ate soldiers eligible. The appointment
as aid to the governor, with the rank
of lieutenant colonel, makes on* en of
ficer of the National Guard and eligi
ble to the appointment as adjutant
general. As soon as the governor Is
inaugurated, he could appoint General
Evane an aid and Immediately follow
ing such action name him at adjutant
general of the stale. The question of
physical examination was not dis
cussed.
