Tlie ai i angcinent of the hall was almost identical with that of the former con vention. The decorations had been slightly Changed. Flcturefc of the old time Republican lenders had been taken down and in then (duces were Wash ington. Jefferson, Jackson and Humil ! ton.

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. Body." The delegates took up the sons and the veteran drum corps joined. Din and confusion leigned for a few mo ments. The efforts of Alfred O. Crozier, of Providence, R I , to inject a discussion of tlie money question in the conven tion created some diversion just before the convention came to order, Crozier tiriululed a number of pamphlets through the hall giving iiis ideas on th money question Baek of the men distributing the ci’ - eulars walked two sergenats-at-ai ms picking up the circulars as fast as they were laid down Occupying boxes were Mr-.

I f Price of Rags and Bottles Drops JUNK DEALERS IN TRUST v I I 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 lowing incorporators: J. Meltzer. Mitch ell Mend. Samuel Gordon. F. Gelman, J. Cohen, Hyman Waskovitz. M. Butler. P. Kaplan, Samuel Jass, H. Rice. Israel Striker Louis Meltzer, F. Clein, Samuel Delman. Jacob Morris, and H. Smith, issued by the superior court and "with out capital stock and organized for so cial and benevolent purposes." But their weekly meetings have lasted from 3 o'clock in the afternoons until 10 o'clock at nights, and all Capitol avenue has been kept awake. The meetings have not been harmo nious. according to members. The prin cipal requirement of the organization is 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,- i 000 decrease registered by Mitchell i county was a result of the craze for : good roads. In explaining Mitchell county's enor- • mous drop. Mr. Faircloth said that the ■ grand Jury had appointed a special committee to scale all returns for 1912, and the jury's action came as a re sult of the taxes levied for good roads. > lit the returns of twelve counties re- I ceivt d today, but two, Richmond and < arroll counties, show an increase. Richmond comes in with a raise ol more than $1,000,000. and values in Car roll county show substantial gains. $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. John S. Candler, mayor pro tern, who was overcome with the heat at the Democratic convention ai Baltimore ami iias since been in retirement at his honi£ in Druid Hills, was present to preside at the meeting of council this afternoon Judge Candler has been ope I of tlie most active members of council 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. 20,000 DELEGATES ARE EXPECTED AT NEGRO ODD FELLOWS MEET ’ Negro Odd Fellows will hold a na- ■ tional convention in Atlanta from Sep i tember 14 to 19. and, according to a letter made public today, they expect about 20,000 visitors.

[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. * Disclaims Politics. , ’baloj.’k grew vehement wi>pr be dented that his advocacy of the an" filler bill was due to the fact that hr culture* a,IU dale f ° r co,nmissi °ner of agif- "It isn't true, he said, “but those that care to impute the sinister motive to me Blalock agreed io the tag amendment provided that dealers were prohibited from using injurious filler, fiction on the bill was deferred until tomorrow * ti , Roller Still Works.
