Texas, formerly of Atlanta, who twen ty years ago heeded the advice of Hor ace Greeley by going West "to grow up with the country," ia back on a visit to his old home. Incidentally, it might be added that before Mr. Stowers left Atlanta he conducted a little grocery store in De catur street. Now he is a millionaire ranchman, owner of one of the greatest chain of furniture houses in the West and one of the leading citizens of Texas. Mr. Stowers is accompanied by the secretary of hist company. Park Strick land. also a Georgia boy. Mr. Strick land lived in Austell at the time he determined to go West to make his fortune. The two visitors are being enter tained today by Carlos Mason, chair man of the police commission, who is a clos° friend of Mr. Stowers. Mrs. Benjamin's Will Filed. The will of Mrs. Annie V.

ENGINEERS IN WEDJTREETS Commissioners Call Halt on Cutting Asphalt for Water and Sewer Pipes. Continued From Page One. that he was glad the bad condition of Atlanta's streets was being agitated. He said the city would get better results when it was realized just what the con ditions are. ‘Three of the roughest places in the city are the railroad crossings at Pryor street, Central avenue and Decatur street.” he said. "But the law provides that the railroads shall keep these crossings repaired. All that is needed is that they be urged to make the nec essary repairs.' The streets committee of the council held a three-hour session yesterday afternoon, considering the proposal of property owners on Ivy street to ad vance the city the money to regrade this street in conjunction with the grading at the junction of the Peach trees and Baker. The county commis- | sioners want to do all this work at the I same time, t'aptain Tom Donaldson, superintendent for the county, w r ho is in charge of the grading now under way. said the Peachtree work can be done in half the time and at a much less cost if the city will provide that Ivy street work be done at the same time. The county has agreed to do all the | grading work. It is estimated that it will cost the city at least $30,000 to ad- I just the houses to the new grade. Coun cil has appropriated $5,000 for the pur pose and the property owners have of fered to advance $25,000. Edmondson Objects To the Regrading. Councilman Harvey Hatcher and George H. Boynton were appointed as a committee to confer with the county commissioners to see if the commis sioners w ould use the old belgian blocks in building retaining walls. Frank Ednfiondson was bitterly op posed to the street being regraded on account of alleged damage to his prop erty. E. L. Meyers and W. T. Healy were opposed to the work being done as it is now planned. But Joel Hurt. G. M. Hope. Martin Amorous and oth ers urged that it is one of the most needed improvements in the city. The committee ordered the Georgia Railway and Power Company to replace its "T” rails on Highland avenue and North Boulevard with grooved rails. Both these streets are passed up for paving and the citizens petitioned a change of the rails on the ground that the “T" rails tear up the paving. Seven thousand dollars was appro priated for the Highland avenue pav ing on the first of the year and SIO,OOO for the North Boulevard paving. But. the order changing the rails will so delay the work that it may not be done this year. Some of the councilmen who were spectators at.the meeting suggest ed that the trolley company should have been ordered to change its rails months ago. Another striking evidence of the bad condition of streets was given last night when the Grady hospital ambulance stuck in the mud at the corner of De- Kalb and Mayson avenues while going to the aid of a man in Edgewood who was badly cut. The call was received at the Grady at 7 o'clock, but it was 10 o'clock before the ambulance re turned. HITCHCOCK TELES OF FUNDS IN 1304 G. 0, P. Collections Reached $1,655,000, He Says—Few Big Ones in 1908, WASHINGTON. July 17.—Frank Hitchcock, assistant secretary to the national Republican committee in 1904 and national committee chairman in the 1908 campaign, appeared today be fore the Clapp committee investigating campaign expenditures and told it that the entire collections of the national, committee for 1908 were $1,655,518.27. Hitchcock said that of the entire amount, $520,150 was collected by the finance committees of the several states. "Is there a record of these financial matters still in existence?” "Yes sir. They were deposited with the secretary of state of New York and .George R. Sheldon has a duplicate set of books." 'Does the record show all that was received and from whom?" "It does." "I'd like to say that we received very few large contributions in 1908." said Hitchcock. "If my memory is correct there were more than 25 or 30 that reached as high as $5,000. At the very outset of the campaign we received several very generous contributions be fore our system of collections had been put into operation. C. P. Taft gave $50,000; William Nelson Cromwell $25.- i non; Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson $25.- I 000; Carnegie $25,000; William Smith Corcoran $15,000, and Frank A. Mun sey. Whitelaw Reid. W. J. Boardman and General Corbin SIO,OOO each.” "Were the Andersons relatives of the president?” asked Senator Payn ter. "I don't know.” replied Hitchcock. In emphasizing the fact that many small contributions instead of a few large ones were sought. Hitchcock said that letters requesting SSO contributions were sent to about 4.500 business men and that in this way $200,000 or $300.- 000 was obtained. He said General Du pont. of Delaware, made a $20,000 con tribution. but that this was refused be cause at that time the government had a civil suit against the powder com pany of which the contributor was head. sacredlieart church TO PICNIC AT LITHIA SPGS.
