Destructor Company Vainly
I Seeks Capital.
Advocates of rhe Destructor Com
pany's proposition to build a garbage
disposal plant declared today that the
company had not been able to carry out
Its contret with the city because finan
cial interests of the city would not
finance the building of a municipal
light and power plant. At the same
time they would not assert that the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany, with which the city plant would
compete, had displayed any active op
position.
iTwo of the leading bonding concerns
hive offered to give the Destructor
Company a bond to the entire amount
off its bid. $376,000 Financial institu
tions have offered to underwrite the
building of a. garage disposal plant for
*376.000. But the capitalists refuse to
t'?| negotiate the city's moral obligation
fgr SIOO,OOO to build an electric power
rwant in conjunction with the garbage
pt'ant, by which to light the "white
w ay."
Two Weeks More
Time To Be Given.
■Though members of council fear that
the, contract for the combined garbage
disposal and electric power plant is in
a hcipelees tangle, the council will today
grant an additional two weeks' time to
the to try and finance its
proposvtion. If the company fails to
finance the deal, the city hold its cei -
lifted check for $.'17,000, which can he
declared forfeited
I am willing to give the company
two weeks more time to carry out its
tontract.'’ said Councilman Orville Hall
today. one of the members who op
posed the purchase of the plant. "1
doubt If ti|r company will be able to
carry out the contract, for it was pro
vided that work should begin ten days
after the ointract. was let. The con-
■ t'tif’i was let on June t "
; No Immediate
| Action Probable.
So mjny jnemhers of th* .-ouncll are
run of the H.'y that a settlement of the
matter Could! hardly be at ttempted this
afternoon, rhe giving of more time to
the company ,to obtain underwrite! s for
Its bid virtually is postponing action for
two weftks.
i It is said the Georgia Railway and
’ Electric f'dmpany has made no fight
against the building of a city plant, but
that the capable financial institutions
, simply refuse to underwrite the con-
1 tract of the Destructor Company. Since
, the contract was first let W E. Dowd,
phe representative of the company, has
been trying p negotiate through banks
the city's p-omiae to pay the cost of
j the plant. He has admitted that, the
contract probably would have to be
hanged before his company could ob
’ Italn funds -with which to build the
plant.
~ The city Uto pay >60,000 in cash and
J give its moral obligation for the re
mainder of tfe sum.

Friends of t.h<r measure had
consideration of it put off last

The indications were, therefore,

Probability of Breaking DeadloctaSmaß
and Necessity For New Alignment or«
Forces, and Second Convention
Looms Up as Only Solution. 1
BALTI MOKE. .Inly I.—When the Demt.vra.iic national con
vention assembled today the big prospect staring the delegates io <1
the fact was that of a continuance of the dea<flosL and adjourn- I
merit and a call for a now national convention with new primaries 1
and now delegates t hrouglrout. The farces were apparently more 1
determined than ever this murniitg to'stand pat a'nd force the
"other follow" to <|<> ihe giving in if any were to be done. The i.
convention was called to order al 11 :03 a. m.. and huntediately be- \
gan where it left off late Saturday night, proceeding to the tweiMy-"”
seventh ballot.
rite result ol' ijic twenty-sixth
ballot. taken Saturday night, was:
t'lark. 477 1-2; Wilson, 403; l’n
derWood. 112 1-2: Marshall, 30:
Harmon. 29; Hoss. 33: Bryan, 1.
A hosi of. rumors thnit coyer almost
every contingency that can. be Imag
ined were afloat when the convention
assembled.
one report said that the t
tule would be abrogated after the thir
tieth ballot today. Another said tltat
after ten additional ballots had beep
taken, if the prospect of a deadlock
continued, the convention would give
up the struggle and adjourn Under
this plan the present national commit
the would, the party naUona-l leaders
say,-hold over and call a second,con
vention. Net? delegates would he elect
ed at state prlmarkes and -eonventbrns
in August and these would rtreef some
time during the syme* month to, name
the party standard-bca rFr. Some of
the leaders said that the party rawt

towns'and that it might be here for
days and. weeks beXow ,tiw r-nd .in
reached Other reports said that it mew
alignment of forces was already under
way and that theywould bring abotit a
combination between the wii-on apd
Clark forces that would give Wiiaon
the dark strength. Together these two
tandidatea at present control the nec
essary two-ihirds vote. Separately
cither has sufficient strength to con
tinue an indefinite deadlock.
