BITTER FIGHT ON
OVER 5440,000
CITY PUNT
Aldermen Say Price of New
Garbage Disposal System
■ Is Too High.
A strong fight will bo mafic against
the purchase of the proposed $44f*.060
garbage disposal plant at the meeting
of the finance committee of council
this afternoon, on the ground that such
a purchase would be a reckless expen
diture of the people's monev
Despite the fact 'hat Mayor Winn
Chairman Candler of the finance com
mitter. the board of health and the
bond commission have approved the
recommendation of Dr Rudolph Her
ing. the expert engineer, that the plant
be. purchased. Alderman A. -I. Johnson,
a member of the finance committee,
declares today that the price is absurd.
Ht savs he will fight the purchase of
the plan' to the last ditch.
While the plans provide for a water
pump to lie operated by electricity gen
erated from the burning garbage,
neitn. rhe general manager of the wa
terworks nor the members of the water
board hgve -een the specifications
Thr> say they don't know what qrt " f
a pump council is about to bin. anil
that they ought to know
Aiding Chambers and Claude" 4 i. Ma
s >n. influential members of council, de
claied today they want a thorough in
'gatinn i he* cost before any con
tra t is made. They asserted they were i
fighting prevent too hasty action b\
these- who want ii» solve tile garbage
problem immediately.
New Plan Offered
City an Income.
Sin'S the recommendation that the
Destructor Company of New York be
awarded the contract for a garbage
disposal plant a rival company has en- I
fared the field with a proposal to build I
8 plant of a different nature which will
yield the city an actual income from]
oy-products of the iminetating plant,]
making it an asset instead ->f a lia- i
bilitv. The cost of installing this sys- ]
teni. they -ay. would be fur below that
of the plant recommended.
The disposal system was recommend
ed on the idvl. e of Dr Rudolph Hoi mg.
an exper* engineer from New York
But it is said the specifications of the
bid "ere taken principally from the
specifications of the plant in Milwau
kee. and that Dr Hering drew up lho ; .
spe< ification.-
Jt seems probable not only that the
acceptance of this bid will be delayed
for some time, but that a bitter fight
w ill bo prei ipitated. Major Winn
determined to ,-olve the garbage prob
lem. for it it one of his inaugural poli
cies. and he is <m the last lap of his
term of office The board of health is
un'ted in support of it. and Aiderman
John B. t'andkr. chairman of thi j
finance committee, al: ■ appiove- it.
Price Too High,
Say Councilmen
But there are a number of council
men who say that s44c.onn j s a for
bidding price. The next lower bid was
only >200,000 The present crematory,
one-third the size of the proposed plant,
cost less than sso,one.
Aiderman Johnson Is ttje only mem
ber of the finance committee who has
declared against the project. Rut he
alone can hold up action for two weeks,
and other members an have a vote
when the finance committee reports to
council
Members of the finance committee
have -eceived an informal proposition
from the Manitowoc Engineering Works
of Wist onsin represented locally by
W. H Sawyer X- Sons, to build a re
duction plant that will net the city an
annual income of more than s<.ooo u
will cos! about this much to operate
thr $440,f>00 plant.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
'The Sidelights Department is in receipt
nf avers cordial letter from a gentleman
in south Georgia, in which this curious
and interesting statement occurs:
I am glad to see that Tom Felder is
to be elected a delegate-at-lai ge to
Baltimore, and without protect I
have never sympathized ver\ much
with Mr. Felder's Hoke Smith ideas,
but he is a distinguished Georgian,
and our aHorne'y-general, aiul. his
election would be an evidencq of good
will among Democrats very pleasing
to me.
It is surprising, teal).'- how often Geor
gfa s two Tom Fehiers ate fnixed up ; n
the popular mind
The Tom proposed hy the Fulton county
Democracy for one of the delegates-at
large places is not, of course, the attor
ney general Moreover, if he ever en
tertainer! an> violent Hoke Smith views
about anything in particular, he suc
ceeded very cleverly thus far in conceal
ing them utterly. The political offices
he has held can he counted on one finger
he was on< ea member of the legislature
unless thr time, away bark yonder,
yy hen he yeas solicitor-general somewhere,
.-’o>uld also he counted. He has been a
member of -ever at national convent ion.-
His name is I homas B Felder, and he
is generally distinguished from th? other
Tom by ‘hr prefix "Atlanta."
Thomas S Felder, the other one. gen
erally is known as "Macon ' Tom. He
has been several times a member of the
legislature, and is now attorney- general
of the state. He is the Tom with all
those Hoke Smith views attaching, of
which Sidelight's correspondent writes.
He has no idea of being elected a dele
gate-at-large to Baltimore, and probably
doesn't wish to be.
< »nee upon a time there was a “Nash
ville' 'lorn Felder, too. In those days, it
'imply was impossible to keep the Toms
disentangled, and ’nobody tried Nowa
days, however, as there are only two ot
them, the task is somewhat less hopeless,
even if it does keep one busy.
Both ‘Atlanta ' ’Font and ' Macon" Tom
cave many warm friends throughout the
state, for both are good and
everybody likes them.
Whether rooms IOS and 110 In the Kim
ball house are hoodooed will never be de
termined positively without one more
trial.
Os late, to be sure, victory has perched
not much in that vicinity--for .Joseph M
Brow n 10. : one ra» e there. Pick Russell
lost another, and Woodrow W ilson lost a
third, all hand running
It will be recalled, however. *nat former
Governor Terrell won out there. "L'ncle
Allen' Gaudier won there, and Joseph M
Brown won one race there
That makes it an even break - three
winnings and three losings
Whether one o? the forthcoming guber
natorial candidates will have the nerve
to put the suspected hoodoo:to the test
this summer remains to be seen.
Just the day before Thomas E Watson
tired his thirteen-inch gun with respect
to the national Democratic convention in
Baltimore. The Savannah Press carried
this illuminating editorial suggestion:
After all. the Hon Thomas'E AAat
son -an be persuaded to go io Balti
ntore if he is sufficiently urged. His
letter to a friend in FranfyHn county
m«ii< ates that he will accept ‘the honor
••f delegate-at-large if i. offered tn
him Mr Watson very largely con
tributed to the success of the i nder
wood camp m Georgia. His position
now is at least one of dignity He is
not offering tor the place, -but he
would not turn his ba-k upon it if it
were handsel to him
I* may bp that ‘he Hon Thomas E. does
rot consider his present attbude q.uite so
dignified as ’he one The Fregs was
talking about, but he doubtless considers
more likely to get him somewhere
Much interest is bp'rg mar. felted in the

NEW BABY GETS
Ho,mjoo.ini
By the Time He Is 21 Years of
Age It Will Have Grown to
$60,000,000.
NEW YORK. May 10.—Th* new
est Rockefeller baby. just born
to Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr.,
as he gurgled peaeefullj- today in his
layette, in his parents' home, at No. 13
West Fifty-fourth street. could
easily have had his unusually
quiet disposition diagnosed as due to
the fact that he is worth, as he lies.
$40,000,000. This makes him already
one of the wealthiest young gentlemen
in the world.
What baptismal name this newest
child of fortune will bear not yet
be°n decided upon. He is a healthy
little wight, and while his general dis
position, as has been said, is most
peaceful in its attitude toward the
world, such events as the approach of
the dinner hour prove conclusive!'
that he is possessed of a quite normal,
pair of. lungs.
This is Mrs. Rockefeller's fifth child
and fourth son. the other being Ba
bette the eldest, born in 1903: John
D 111. born in 1905; Nelson Aldrich,
horn in 190 S and the third son, born
two years ago.
Will Inherit $40,000,000.
By the time the newest Rockefeller
baby is twenty-one. he will inherit
considerably more than $40,000,000. in
all probability. The present income of
John D. Rockefeller. Sr., is $60,000,000.
a year according to the estimate once
authoritatively made by the late H H.
Rogers. With the compounding that
will go on with the reinvestment of the
increment of the Rockefeller wealth,
there will undoubtedly be more than
$60,000,000 at the disposal of the new
est heir for his eventful right in the
stupendous estate.
John D. Rockefeller Sr., according to
the best estimate is worth $700,000,000.
At Kis death, his three children, it is
said, will inherit equal shares of th,is

This unique religious sect still holds
to the traditionary practices and dis
which occupy the major portion of
services in other churches. The name

Their most distinguishing character

which they derived from the story of

than half set aside for the so-called
Rockefeller Foundation. This leaves
th* amount for division $600.000.000.
John D. Rockefeller. Jr., will thus
come into possession of at least $200.-
OOO.fiOO at the death of his father. Equal
amounts will go to Edith Rockefeller
McCormick, who married Harold Mc-
Cormick. of Chicago, and Alta Rocke

John D.. Sr., Is Delighted.
John D.. Sr., now has ten grandchil
dren. including the newcomer, the first.
John R. McCormick, having died in 1901
at the age of four. He was as delight
ed at hearing the news of the latest
arrival to share the fortune he has ac
cumulated as if it had been the first
grandchild. He was at the Rockefeller
estate at Pocantico Hills when the news
was telephoned to him, and he lost no
time in hurrying to the city to see
the little bundle of wealthj- humanity.
The newest baby has five first cous
ins, all of whom will be worth $40.-
000,000 apiece when thej grow up. Two
of these cousins are the children of the
Parmalee-Prentices—John R. Prentice,
who was born in 1902, and Mary Ade
line Prentice, who was born five years
later. The three other cousins are the
children of the Harold McCormicks —
Harold Fowler McCormick, born in
1898; Muriel, born in 1902, and Edith,
born a year later.
