SEWER WORK IS
MONMIND
Contractor Pleads for More
Time, But City Engineer
Complains of Delay.
Completion of Atlanta’s sewage dis
posal plants will be delayed for more
than a year as a result of the inade
quate efforts . put forth by Contractor
Chester A. Dadv. according to Captain
Clayton, chief of construction, and F.
A. Quillian, chairman of the bond com
mission.
Mr. Dady asked for nine months’ ex
tension of time to complete the ■Peach
tree creek disposal plant. Captain
Clayton says he won’t finish it within
a year, at his present rate. Dady also
has the contract to build the Intrench
ment creek disposal plant and only the
grading work has been begun there.
There is great need for all three of
these plants, for the sewage is now
dumped into the small streams around
the city. This causes very insanitary
conditions in hot weather. The Proctor
creek plant is practically complete and
will be connected In about a month.
The Peachtree creek plant was also to
have been completed'this summer, but
it will be next summer before It Is fin
ished. However, the sewer to the plant
will soon be finished and the sewage
that is now flowing Into the streams on
the north side will be carried out to the
plant and turned into the Peachtree
creek.
A special committee, composed of'Al
dine Chambers. R. M. Clayton and F. A.
Quillian, has been appoin’ed to investi
gate the progress of Mr. Dady's work
and make a report before any extension
of time Is granted him.
Captain Clayton says that the ex
treme bad weather during the winter
and the inability of the contractors to
get crushed stone is one cause for de
lay, but not a reason for as much time
as Dady will require.
WAREHOUSE WOULD
SAVE CITY MONEY,
SAYS J. S. CANDLER
"If the city should build a warehouse
to cost $50,000, it would save money,’’
says Aiderman John S. Candler, chair
man of the finance committee.
Aiderman Candler explains that pres
ent conditions force different departments
to pay different prices for supplies. He
says the construction department Is now
paying $2 a month more per head for mole
feed than the sanitary department, and
that there are many other such differ
fnces. But the sanitary department is
ble to buy its feed and store it away
while the construction department must
award a contract and have the feed sup
plied from day to day.
"If we could buy our supplies and store
them away, the savings In any one de
partment would pay the Interest on the
Investment in a warehouse.” he says.
“When we ask dealers to bid on supplies
for deliveries a month later, they will
naturally bid higher than on immediate
deliveries.”
CAN NOW PHOTOGRAPH
SOUND OF THE HEART
NEW YORK, May 4—Dr. H. B. Wil
liams, associate in physiology in the
College of Fhysicians and Surgeons, the
medical school of Columbia university,
is engaged in the unusual task of pho
tographing sound. The humanitarian
purpose of this work and its place in a
medical institution will be understood
better when it is explained that the
sounds recorded on the photographic
film are those emanating from the
heart. This means that a valuable ad
junct to diagnosis in affections of the
heart is in practical operation.
Not only that, but it is not necessary
to have the patient in the physiological
laboratory while this method of diag
nosis is being employed; he can be ex
amined with the same accuracy in this
respect while lying on a cot in a hos
pital at a distance or while, standing in
the dispensary devoted to the use of
outdoor patients of the institution.
JURY’S PLEA REDUCES

When Judge Roan, in the criminal di

urer of the Wise-Nussbaum Company, to
pay a fine of S3OO or serve twelve months

requested that the fine be reduced to $lO6.
It was reduced and paid and Wise went

Wise, according to the testimony in
troduced by Mrs. O. A. Steinhard, the
prosecutor, overdrew his personal account
with the company some $9.35, and ulti

Oldest Policeman on Atlanta
Force Is Victim of Queer
Situation.
Because all his company comrades in
the Civil war are dead, T. J. Thompson
Is denied a Confederate soldier's pen
sion. He is the oldest member of the
Atlanta police force, toe, a feeble old
man of 71 years. But Commissioner J.
W. Lindsey has turned down his appli
cation.
"Commissioner Lindsey tells me I
must have a certificate from a member
of my company that I served In in the
war," he says. "I can’t get it. They
are all dead.”
He has a certificate from Joseph V.
Bidgood, keeper of the Virginia military
records, showing that he served the en
tire war in the Nineteenth Virginia reg
iment. But that was not sufficient for
the Georgia pension commissioner.
“My company enlisted with 112 men,"
says Mr. Thompson. “When we deliv
ered our guns to Grant at Appomatox
there were but six of us left. Most of
them fell tn Pickett’s charge at Gettys
burg I remember as distinctly as if it
were yesterday how thick they dropped
about me. And all that came out of the
war are gone now but me."
Mr. Thompson began service in the
Atlanta police department in 1877. He
has spent more years on the force than
any other man. He is given light work
now, his beat being around the city
hall. There he engages many a passer
by with his interesting conversation,
and his favorite theme is of the hard
days of the sixties and of Pickett’s
charge.
SICK MAN, ATTACKED

CHOKES IT TO DEATH
SAVANNAH, GA., May 4.—While
Victor Wortham, a shipping clerk in
the employ of the Southern Lumber
Company, lay ill in bed at his home a
mad dog rushed into the room and at
tacked the patient, bitting him upon the
arm. Wortham sprang from the bed,
chased the dog about the rodm until
he cornered it, tvhen he grasped it by
throat.
Then, securing his revolver, he pre
pared to shoot the animal, but Mrs.
Wortham, who had been attracted to
the room bv the commotion, pleaded
with him not to fire. With the butt of
the weapon the sick man beat the dog's
brains out. The dog, a small cur, be
longed to the Wortham family.
Wortham will be given the Pasteur
treatment in order to avoid any possi
bility of the bite being serious.

DANIEL“ALIAS,’’
THAT’SHISNAIVIE
Professional Pickpocket Says
Since He’s Been Square the
World’s Against Him.
"Daniel Brooks, alias Daniel Taft,
alias Daniel Edwards, alias Daniel
Kane, alias Daniel Brookins, alias Dan
iel Davis, alias ‘Big Dan.’ ” called Re
corder Broyles from his bench.
A tall, red-headed man stepped out
of the crowd
‘"Yes. sir; that’s my name.” he an
swered.
Detective George Bullard exhibited to
the court a long typewritten record of
"Big Dan’s" career With the same
alacrity with which he admitted his
many names, the stranger said the rec
ord was correct, confessing that he is a
professional pickpocket, has traveled
extensively over the country, and has
done time tn several jails and peniten
tiaries.
Blows Into Atlanta.
“Big Dan” blew Into Atlanta several
days ago. and was arrested by Detec
tive Bullard as a suspicious character
At the time he was trying to dispose
of some jewelry.
The record obtained by the detec
tive showed that the man had been ar
rested in Philadelphia, twice in Cleve
land. in Buffalo, in Erie. Pa., in In
dianapolis. in New Orleans, in Youngs
town. Ohio, and Elyria. Ohio. He was
released last August from the Easton
penitentiary in Pennsylvania, where he
had served five years for picking pock
ets.
Can Beat That Record.
"Your honor, I can’t beat that rec
ord.” said "Big Dan" gloomily. ”1 have
tried hard to get honest work, but my
record always floors me. I have had
several different jobs, but have always
been discharged. As sdon as the boss
finds out who I am it’s all off. I’m
fired. That’s why I’ve got so many
names. I want to hide my record and
go to work. I’ll work for anyone who’ll
give me a Job, and be on the square,
too. I assure you. judge, I haven’t
pulled a crooked job since I got ou’
of the pen last August. If I had I
would have money and a lawyer."
He admitted he is an undesirable
citizen, and said he didn’t blame the of
ficers and the court for being suspi
cious of him.
Judge Broyles sent him to the Tower
for vagrancy in default of SSOO bond.

guests at a banquet at which the pret

“Our organization feels deeply in debt
to the papers." said Miss Daisy Eckert,

of no other way in which we can show
our appreciation better than by giving
a dinner to the men who help us out. I
want to make the newspaper banquet an

what the papers do for us
"No. I am going to stay in the kitchen
and see that you get plenty to eat.” said
Miss Eckert, when asked if she. intend

can get along without me in the dining
room all right, and I may be needed in
the kitchen I will leave the matter of
serving to some of our girls; yes. the
prettiest ones, of course
"And there will be plenty to drink, too;
just all the ice water you want."
The banquet will be given some time
