to Transmission Company.

ent a lot of attention I i«t winter by his
attacks on the <;•'>.rgia Railway and
Electric Company, today was condemn
ed by the city board of electrical con
trol for granting a franchise, without
authority, to the Central Georgia
Transmission Company, the only com
petitor of tit, Georgia Railway ami
Electric Company, to build a high power
line on Hill street and Milton avenue,
and the board revoked the electrit bin's
permit.

rected the attention of the board to
the situation. The Central Georgia
Transmission Company bail a force
working day and night on the street,
erecting a WtijKlO volt line. J H. Gal
house. a resident of Hill .street, dis
charged his pistol twice last Thursday
night tn frighten away the workmen
vh"n they disturb his sleep, H< was
fined by the recorder, but Immediate
ly there was a general protest from the
citizens against the building of the lino
along 'their street. Mr. Turner himself
said the high voltage w'lre would be
dangerous.,
It was found the only-authority
to build the line on these streets was
obtained from the city electrician, who
consulted only the engineer of the
Southeastern I’nderw t iters Assoiiat lon.
Such an authoritx is equal to a fran
chise. and rests only with the council.
The board Immediately revoked the
permit of the company The company
must get the right to proceed with the
work by taking up the matter with the
boa rd.
An injunction suit has been filed to
stop the work, but this was discon
tinued when the court was informed of
the action of the city board.
City Electrician Tut tie: declared the
board was trying to put all the trouble
it could on him The city had granted
the company the right to build such a
line on Lakewood avenue, Mr. Tur
ner said he transferred the permit to
other streets because he thought it was
a better route. •
He said any line carrying more than
11,000 volts was dangerous and that
some of the lines of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company, the company i
that absorbed the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company, should be con
demned.
The hoard. John E. McClelland. W.
R Cummings fire chief, ami K. M
Clayton, chief of construction, decided
not to go into this matter at this time.

! BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Complying with the request of Governor
Brown, the senate today returned to him
his nominations to the state board of ed-
I ucation. Xo action was taken on the
I Hoke Smith appointments.
By recalling his appointments. Gov
. > pinor Brown prevented them from being
fought <>n Brown-Smith lines. The sen
late Is pnu left with the Smith appoint
ments to lie approved or rejected Those
a ppoint m<*nts are: Dr. Jere M Pound
J. Wooster and .1 C. Langston.
The legal point raised in the senate
ihat the Smith nominations were made
to fill real vacancies and were not ad
Interim appointments, and the apparent
strength on this view with members of
th»- upper house, was largely responsible
for the governor's action in withdrawing
his nomination*. He declined today to
discuss his future action in the matter.
Tl>< name • f Walter Steed, appointed
b\ Governor Brown to succeed the late
Judge Lawson, was withdrawn so that
the senate will have but three names to
, consider, whereas there are four vacan
cies on (he boa rd The Brown appoint
ments were G It Glenn. 'l'. I Wooster,
A. T Moon and Walter Steed.

SLEUTHING WITH AID
OF DICTOGRAPH NOT
FAVORED BY POLICE
chief of Ppliee Beavers is not much
in favor of the dictograph us a gatherer
of evidence. He said so today.
The trouble with such evidence," as.
sorted the chief, "is that it is usually
not admissible. Telephone conversa
tions are not admitted unless identifi
cation of th.e parties talking is abso
lute. and so with the dictograph. Or
dinarily the stenographer recording dic
tograph notes can not identify the per
sons or voices sufficiently to make the
evidence worth anything."
A dictograph agent called on Chief
Beavers recently in an effort to place*
one of the Instruments with the local
department, but the chief had substan
tially the above objections and accord
ingly refused to buy.

Stricture
THERE Is too much rough work, out
-1 ting and gouging in handling eases of
stricture Mv 85 vears of experience with
B diseases of men,
chronic diseases;
nervous disorders,
have shown me,
among other things,
that many cases of
stricture may ba
cured with less
harsh treatment
than they gener
ally receive. Intelli
gent, careful and
scientific treatment
by a physician of
Mtperience cures
without pain. The

separates the pa
