In a second statement made today
by Edwin P. Ansley, who is one of the
leaders in the movement, he forecasts
the factional fight definitely. He says:
Fever Epidemic Denied.
At the offices of the board of health
today M . Ansley’s charge that the city
is having a typhoid fever epidemic
through the neglect of the authorities
in building adequate sewers was de
nied. bi .1 P Kennedy, the city phy
sician. showed report l -' to p’ove there
art- only twelve olses of typhoid fever,
only one of diphtheria and one of
smallpox lb the < Ity nt the present
time.
"In spite of whatever may he said,
the fact remains' that the, genera!
health of the city of Atlanta is bett<
today than ft has been In years.” he
said. "It (ompa’ev ■.• cry favorably with
the health record of any other city in

In which there is 'money." “aid .Mr

"There is a deep-seated movement on
foot among the business men of At
lanta now, and if some of them would i
talk they could ti ll you that If the |
Chamber of Commerce will not take up j
the matter of selecting competent men
for city offices, they will organize
among themselves and do It.
Hates to Attack City Officials.
"Part of thd duty of working for the
good of Atlanta is to aid her to have ;
competent officials." Mr. Ansley added,
"and If in working for the city’s w elfare i
the chamber of Commerce is drawn
into polities, then that’s where it be
longs. I understand that President
Wilmer 1,. Moore says the chamber is
a commercial organization and not a
political one. but that ought not to keep
it out of polities w hen It becomes nec- |
essary for the city’s health and grow th
for some organization to help out in the
selection of competent men for office.
"It Is absolutely necessary that some
thing should be done to place the city
government in the hands of men who
t at: run it on a business basis and who
are nut mere politicians seeking their
own interests. Many of the men now)
connected with city affairs are my own I
friends, and I hate to attack them as
much as I hate to say in public that I
we are In imminent danger of an epi
demic of typhoid fever, but something
must, be done, anti I could not feel that
I had done my duty until I told the
public what I knew of actual condi
tions "

SIGHTLESS BEGGARS HIT
The white-bearded old man with the
tin sign on his hat and the battered
flute at his lips trudged up Whitehall
street today, just as he had nudged for
fifteen years, and the strains of "Casey
Would Waltz With the Strawberry
Blond" trilled as birdlike from his pipe
us ever. Perhaps if the old man had
not been blind the published story of
the city ordinance committee’s meet-.
Ing yesterday afternoon would have
turned Ins cheery melody into a dirge.
But if he were not blind, perhaps he
wouldn't need to t>iay on the streets foi
a pittance.
The ordinance committee reported in
favor of refusing further licenses to
street musicians w ho play airs for alms,
trying to tutn melody into money’’ it
■ ante from the Associated Charities,
which doesn't believe In giving io beg

There are many of these in Atlanta.
There's not a child who does not know
the old man with the flute. He totters
up the crowded sidewalk as confidently’
as though lie were in his own little,

vorite. airs of years ago. Sometimes it
is Annie Laurie" or "You'll Remem

he can't be certain, for it's fifteen years
since he could swear to that tune.
There's a crippled woman with an
asthmatic accordion and a half-starved
child who sits on the sidewalk in Ma
rietta street toward what yvould be
twilight if the electric company wait
ed a little longer. The old woman
crouches under her shawl and drags
and squeezes from the ancient Instru
ment what the careful listener may rec
ognize as the hymns of the old school,
while the child stops those of the pass
ing throng who do not crowd her from
their path and whines tor a penny for
her mother.
There'-■ a tail violinist whose favorite
haunt is In .Mitchell street, who pulls
excruciating sounds from the tortured
catgut while a woman with the marks
of the-opium fiend passes the hat at the
crossing. There is a hand organ man
hear the postoffice, and a guitar player
who sets his stage close, to the city hall.
On Sundays there are a dozen of these
vagabonds of the lyre who seek aims
in the loafing throng uptown.
Oh, yes: They Could Get Jobs.
Fakers’ Yes; most of them. They
could all be at work if they wanted to.
Certainly. There are plenty of good
positions open for blind men and wom
en with tubercular coughs. But it's so
much pleasanter to stand in the rdin
and play for an audience which hurries
by in the perpetual darkness than to
sit at a roll-top desk and sign checks;
so these fakers jdst won’t stop their
music.
So the committee of council has rec
ommended that no more licenses be is
sued. The sidewalks are the channels
of business. What's tne use of clog
ging them with these derelicts who
have no work and positively do refuse
to starve tn silence?

Agriculturists Tell the Georgia
Farmers How to Rout the
Army Worm.
A fight against the "army worm” and
the cotton caterpillar was started today
by representatives of the agricultural and
business interests of Georgia at a meet
ing in the Chamber of Commerce rooms,

the pests and telling how they may be
destroyed by (he prompt use ?of parts
green or arsenate of lead have been pre
pared by Mr. Worsham and various
wholesale associations represented agreed
to send them to the farmers on their
mailing lists. In addition to this a copy
of the circular has been sent to every
weekly and daily paper in the state. To
day a telegram, sighed by the committee,
was sent, urging the publication of the
warning to the farmers.
Much damage was done in Georgia last
summer by the two pests and in some
counties the corn crop was injured 50 per
cent by the "army worm." which takes
its name from the fact that it travels
rapidly and in great numbers.
W. M. Hutchinson, of the Cotton Seed
Crushers' association, presided over the
meeting. Others present were: W. L.
Peel, of the Southern Bankers’ associa
tion; H. L. Adams. »>f the Southern

Senator Beauchamp Urges the
Legislature to Investigate Dr.
Westmoreland’s Charges.
Shortly after the Georgia senate con
vened today Senator J. C. Beauchamp,
of the Twenty-second district, sprang
a sensation by introducing a resolution
calling l or an investigation of the
state board of health.
Dr. Beauchamp's request for a probe
of the health department was based
upon the charges recently made to the
governor against Dr. Roy Harris, sec
retary of the board of health. The al
legations filed with the governor were
made by Dr. Willis Westmoreland, of
Atlanta, former president of the state
board, and charged Dr. Harris with mis
conduct of his official duties.
The health board met and Dr. Har
ris was completely exonerated. Dr.
Beauchamp said today that since the
allegations were made by one as high
in the medical profession as Dr. West
moreland that a complete legislative
probe should be undertaken.
Dr. George Brown, of Atlanta, intro
duced a similar resolution in the house
calling for an investigation committee
of two from the senate and three from
the house.
