Protesters Settle Row Satis
factorily. Then Argue With
Attorney Over His Fee.
When the city board of electrical
control met today to settle the eontro
ver-y between the property owners on
Hill street and Milton avenue and the
Central Georgia Transmission Compa
ny. a new quarrel developed. The prop
erty owners agreed to allow the power
company to construct its lines in con
sideration of 31,700 damages. But some
of them vigorously protested paying
Attorney Lawton Nalley 40 per cent of
the amount f< r representing them.
J. H. Galhouse. the man who shot his
pistol twice several nights ago to
frighten away the workmen of the elec
tric company, and his sister. Mrs. Kune,
were the ones protesting. Attorney Nal
ley declared that "they were trying to
beat him out of his fee." and that he
would not stand for it. He said he had
already agreed to make concessions
Finally he announced that if Mrs. Kune
did not think his services worth any
thing. he would give her his fee, though
he had a contract with the property
owners that he was to receive 40 per
cent for all damages collected.
The board ruled that it had nothing
to do with the dispute between the
lawyer and his clients. Since the prop
erty owners had agreed on the amount
with tlie Central Georgia Transmission
Company to erect a 66,000-volt line on
the street, a permit was granted to the
company. *
City Electrician Turner granted the
company a permit to build the line some
weeks ago. The board revoked it, an
nouncing that the city electrician had
acted without authority . The city elec
trician then filed a communication to
the council, which will be considered
this afternoon, urging the abolishment
of the board of electrical control.

The efforts of Alfred O. Crozier, of

JUNK DEALERS IN TRUST

The junk dealers of Atlanta have or
ganized a union and the price of empty
bottles, old rags and bits of iron has
flopped. The housewives who have been
treasuring this flotsam and jetsam with
a view of selling out for enough to buy
a tall hat must be content with mak
ing over the old ones. There is an or
ganization. alleged to be in restrain of
trade.
The Junk dealers, between fifty and
sixty of them, took out a charter under
the corporate cognomen of "The Junk
Gatherers Association," with the fol

GOOD ROADS CRAZE
BLAMED FOR DROP IN
STATE TAX RETURNS
D \V. Faircloth, tax collector of
Mitchell county, gave a clew to the
• reason for the remarkable decrease in
tax returns for 1912 when he told Comp
troller General Wright that the $559,-

In explaining Mitchell county's enor-

committee to scale all returns for 1912,
and the jury's action came as a re

$5,000 ASKED FOR PLANS
FOR CITY WATER PUMP
Asserting that provisions must be
made at once for the purchase of a
new water pump for the river station,
the water board today presented a
communication to council urging that
: $5,000 be appropriated for the expenses
of preparing specifications and getting
bids on a 20.000.000-gallon capacity
pump.
Council appropriated $5,000 for this
purpose when the January budget was
made up. It was withdrawn when the
budget was revised in June. W. Z.
Smith, general manager of waterworks,
said today that there would be an im
perative need for this pump by the time
it could be built and put into operation.
' The pump desired will cost about $150.-
000 and it will take about two years to
install it.
JUDGE CANDLER ON JOB AGAIN.

preside at the meeting of council this
afternoon Judge Candler has been ope

for several years.
that members shall not pat above cer
tain fixed prices for old bottles or rags.
They believe that six cents a. dozen is
enough for beer bottles, while the mar
ket has been twelve cents for years.
And the union has ordered that cer
tain junk gatherers shall sell their col
lections to certain prescribed junk buy
ers only. For instance. Meltzer. Mend,
Gordon and Gelman shall sell their junk
only to Stein & Co.; Cohen. Waskovitz
and others may sell only to Smith &
Johnson. No peddler shall encroach
upon a rival's territory; no gatherer
shall purchase from a rival's street or
intrude upon a rival’s dump pile.
The junk gatherers find their wares
in the back yards of Atlanta citizens,
where they haggle with housewives over
the purchase of various wreckage from
the household. They find their market
in the dozen regular junk houses, which
they are endeavoring to divide among
themselves. They meet every Sunday
afternoon, and sometimes between
times. And just now there is threat
ened a split in the organization because
there is a movement to have tlie min
utes kept in English instead of Yid
dish.

[WION ROW
IS OP IN SENATE
For the purpose of forestalling a court
fight over the appointments on the state
board of education. Senator Beauchamp
today put the entire matter up to the
state senate in open session. His action
was in the form of a resolution request
ing Governor Brown to send the senate
the executive minutes recording the Hoke
Smith apointments of Setember 26. 1911,
so that some definite action could be
taken. The resolution, which will pro
voke discussion, will be acted upon to
morrow.
According to Senator Beauchamp the
controversy has taken a legal turn and
unless the senate acts definitely the mat
ter is sure to go to tiie courts. He as
serts that it is up to the senate to cor>-
firm or reject the Smith appointments.
Officers May be Ousted.
Several senators believe that a failure
to consider any educational board ap
pointment will mean that incumbents,
Dr. Jere M. Pound. J. C. Langston, T. .1.
Wonfter and Walter E. Steed, will be
discharged automatically, and Governor
Brown can make what appoontnients he
mill. Others assume that the Smith ap
pointments will stick under these circum
stances. All agree that tlie courts will
get the row unless the senate acts.
Blalock Takes Floor.
Aroused over what he termed the un
just personal atecks of the fertilizer man
ufacturers, Senator A. O. Blalock, can
didate for comniis.-ioner of agriculture,
and author of the bill to prohibit tlie use
of artificial filler in fertilizers, today,
likened the advertisements of Atlanta
fertilizer dealers to 'dime novels.’
"There has been a return to the 'yel
low backs' in Georgia." he shouted, flour
ishing a cream-colored pamphlet in his
hand.
Senator Blalock's outburst came as a
result of a newspaper controversy over
the filler bill that has been raging be
tween Blalock on one side and thd At
lanta dealers on the other for several
weeks. The filler bil. with a mass of
amendments and one substitute, came up
tor passage in the upper house at 11:30
o’clock.
Die bill absolutely prohibits rhe use ol
sand, cinders or other filler in commer
cial fertilizer. The Harris substitute re
quires the dealers to tag the fertilizer with
the percentage of filler printed on the
tags. *
