Yarbrough had Just completed telling the Ad Men's club qf his favorable observations of the com mission plans of government In Hous ton and Galveston Tuesday night, the club refused to adopt resolutions In dorsing commission government. The argument begun at Llthla Springs at a former meeting was resumed at the Cafe Durand when W. F. Parkhurst read resolutions stating that Atlanta was much In need of a change of gov ernment and Indorsing the commission plan. Frank Hammond.objected, saying the action of the club In Indorsing commis sion government was bringing politics Into It. He said he had not yet taken any decided stand on the proposition, but wanted to know how the Ad Men would feel If they Indorsed commission government and, It having failed of adoption, they would want to go to council to make some request. President Paul P. Reese and Mr. Parkhurst explained that the resolution was not bringing politics Into the club because It was not Indorsing any spe cial commission charter, but the gen eral proposition of commission govern ment as opposed to the aldermanlc sys tem. M. M. Davies said he thought the club should go slow before taking such action. And then he told a story of a salesman who lost his trade because he was so partisan In politics A Ternibfe Threat. Real politics started up when Jeff Palmer remarked that If the commis sion government plan carried he would make a motion to Indorse Tom Watson for United States senator. Two voted for the Parkhurst resolu tion and six against It. Then President Reese asked all who were In favor of commission government to rise, and all hut two or three did so. When he asked for those opposed no one voted. But several explained that they were on tho fence. Mr. Yarbrough gave an Interesting account of the workings of the commis sion plan In Texas, where he had been to attend a master plumbers convcn tlon. He said he talked to all classes of people there and that they were well pleased with the government. M. M. Davies offered the recommen dation of the committee on the route to Boston to the convention of A<1 Men next month. The club adopted the route suggested, which la by the Sea board to Norfolk and from there to Boston by boat.

Juet about a year ago Wil liam Healy. who owns the property In Forsyth-st. between Walton and Pop- lar-sts., Immediately opposite the new Federal building, started excavating at the south end of the property, one ne gro and one team being employed for the work. Gradually the hole In the ground deepened and with It deepened the mystery as to why It was being dug. Mr. Healy would not divulge his plane and the public was left to guess. In the winter the hole was extended north to the middle of the block. Ten ants In the remaining buildings on,the property vacated.

BOATS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LAKEWOOD’S TRAGEDY Julius Blllett, lessee ot the privileges at Lakewood, deelres to make an ex planation In regard to the various newspaper stories about the drowning of Mlse Harriett McGill and Barney Goldin last Tuesday night a week ago. He ,ays that the article* would make It appear that his boats are dangerous, and also that there are various Iron pipes sticking up thru the water which are a menace to swimmers. In a letter to The,Georgian In regard to the Incident. 8. P. Cronhelm, an in surance man. writes as follows: "I have seen the lake when It was empty and there le not a single obstnicr tlon except the outlet near the car shed. “As to the boats, there Is no one In Atlnnta that has used the boats at Lakewood more than the writer, and I have not found a single one to leak at any time, but where boats are left out In the open It I* but natural to suppose that there will be a trace of water In them from time to time due to varfpus causes. . , "From my examination of the boat, especially from my rocking it In the water, I noted that It dipped water very easily. From the fact* I have gathered. I Judge that the young fellow* In get ting Into the boat tilted It over on one side, which caused a quantity of water to-run Into the bottom of It The weight of ths two In the stem caused It to sink considerable distance Into the water at that end and caused the bow to project the further above the surface of the water. Whatever water may have been In the bottom of the boat, therefore, ran down toward the back end of the boat. Under these circum stances, Lumpkin, especially having a young lady In tho boat, became scared and Jumped out to push the boat to' land, and In hie getting out he tilted It over further and caused It to fill com pletely full and this led the two re maining occupants to scramble for their, lives; which they did by grabbing hold of each other. In consequence, they were powerless under the circumstance* to help themselves and In two minutes they sank." Going further, he quotes as follows from the report of the Inspector for the company In which young Goldin was Insured: "As to the cause of the boat filling with water which resulted In the trag edy, Lumpkin, In answer to my ques tions, did noj seem to have any definite explanation. He thought that the sir chamber which belonged under their seat might have been out, but he haj nothing to Uphold any such theory. 1 visited tfie lake on the evening of June 16 and made a thorough examination ot the boat which the trio were using at the time. It had been leased by as sured for the summer. It Is twelve feet long by four and one-half feet wide with an air chamber one and one-half feet by two fe*t Under the seat at either end- 'It seemed to be In perfect condi tion In every way, and I feel very sure that the accident can not be charged to any defect In Its construction or condi tion." > The article In The Georgian did not state that the boats were leaky, but mentioned that members of the fami lies said at the time of the drowning that It was caused by the fault of ths boat" A young man employed In the cltplhfcll Is’the authority for the state ment about tRe'Jron pipes sticking up ed for a bad cut on It which ATLANTIC CITY, N, J, ATLANTIC CITY, N.
