22 NULLS FRANCHISE FOR lOH LINES Board Condemns Electrician jor Granting Hill St. Permit to Transmission Company. • ♦ City Kit-. t« i. i.iii R <’ Turner, who pot n lot of attention last winter b\ his attacks on ’the Georgia Railway am! Elect! it Company. today vas eontlemn ?d by the city board of electrival con trol for granting a franchise, without authority. to the Centra! Georgia Transmission Company, the onl> com petitor of the Georgia Railway ami Electric Company, to build a high power line on Hill street and Milton avenue, and the board revoked the electrician's permit. Complaints of property owners di rected the attention of the board to the situation. The Central Georgia Transmission Company had a force working day and night on the street, erecting a 66.000 volt lire. J. H. Gal house. a resident of Hill street, dis charged his pistol twice last Thursday night to frighten away the workmen whan the) disluib his sleep, H< was fin'-H by the recorder, but immediate ly there was a general protest from the citizens against the building of the line aluug their street Mr. Turner himself said rhe hjgh voltage wire 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 Underwriters Association. Such an authority is equal to a fran chise. and rests onlv with the council The board immediately revoked the permit of the company. The company must get tile right to prove.al with the work by taking up the matter with the board. An injunction suit, has been filed to stop the work, but this was discon tinued when the court wa< informed of the action of the city board. City Electrician Turner 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 op Lakewood avenue. Mr. Tur ner said he transferred the permit to other streets because he thought it was a bettor route. He said any line carrying more than 11.000 volts was dangerous and that some of tile lines of the Georgia Rail way and Power Company, the company that absorbed the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. should be con demned. The board. John E McClelland. W. R Cummings fire chief, and It. M. Clayton, chief of construction, decided not to go into this matter at this time. EASTMAN CHURCH CALLS PASTOR EASTMAN. GA.. July 30.

I SENATE RETURNS TO I GOVERNOR EDUCATION ' BOARD APPOINTMENTS Complying with the request of Governor Brown, the senate* today returned to him his nominations to Hie state board of ed ucation. No action was taken on the lUike Smith appointments. Hy recalling his appointment*. Gov ernor Brown prevented them from being fought on Br»«u n-Smith lines.

The legal point raised in the senate that the Smith nominations were made to till real vacancies and were not ad interim appointments, ami the apparent strength on this view with members of the upper house, was largely responsible for the governor's action in withdrawing his nominations. lie declined today to dis<uss his future action in the matter Tin name of Waiter Steed, appointed b\ 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 cm the board.

L. Smith, of 4 Walker street, ile war. taken \o the Grad > hospital. Abridge was gaining on the girl until he jumped a fence and broke his left leg at the ankle. The girl was captured at the corner of Chappell and Tatnall streets. In a clothes hag she had a .32-caliber re volver, two heavy gobi bracelets, three scarf pins, a valuable locket and chain and $6.96 in money. SLEUTHING WITH AID OF DICTOGRAPH NOT FAVORED BY POLICE Chief of Police .Bepvers is not much in favor of the dictograph as a gatherer of evidence. Ht> said so today. "The trouble with such evidence," as serted the chief, “is .that it is usually not admissible. Telephone conversa tions are not admitted unless identifi cation of the 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 tlie above objections and accord ingly refused to buy.
