IW PM PLAN IS DELAYED Os 3 COUNGILMEN •Hall, Guess, and Baker Say Too Much Money Is Spent on the North Side. Although an overwhelming majority of the council favors the Ivy street development plan, three councilmen and possibly that many aidermen will pre vent for more than a month the final passage of the bill providing that the work he done. There seems to be no doubt that the council ultimately will pass the bill, for the property owners have agreed to advance the $30,000 nec essary to do the work. By a vote of 3 to 3. the lower branch of council yesterday voted for it, Coun cilmen Orville Hall. Car! Guess and "Jack" Baker opposing it on the grounds that too much money was be ing spent for north side improvements. Tht aidermen did not have an opportu nity to vote, for Councilmen Hall and Guess gave notice of a motion to re consider the matter at the next regular meeting of council, which is the first Monday in September. Aiderman John E. McClelland ex pressed himself in a vigorous speech and let the city fathers know that he would hold up the matter in the al dermanic board as his colleagues had done in council. Hall and Guess Together, 1 understand that two councilmen can hold up such a resolution as this until the next regular meeting of coun cil by giving notice of a motion to re consider." said Councilman Hall, after a lengthy speech giving many figures and facts. When informed that he was correct, he said: "I make the motion. All right. Carl." Councilman Carl Guess arose and seconded it. When Councilman Hall was in the midst of his attack on the project, Al derman Maddox arose. "Mr. Chairman,” he said. "I move that we do now adjourn until tomorrow morning at 7 o’clock in order to give Mr. Hall all the time he wants to finish his speech." Councilman Hall said that he was sorry his colleagues did not care to hear his opinion. He said he had stud ied hard on this matter and was sin cere. When he was about to sit down a motion was made and carried extend ing his time ten minutes. In a few minutes he and Councilman Harvey Hatcher began a colloquial discussion of the amount of work done this year on the south side. Aiderman Maddox again protested. "If these gentlemen want to carry on such a discussion as this." he said, "I suggest that they meet in one or the other’s office tomorrow. We have a lot of other matters to attend to here.” That ended Mr. Hall s speech. Councilman Aldine Chambers, candi date for mayor, took the floor in favor of the Ivy street plan. He said the Improvement of Ivy street would be one of the greatest possible means to relieve the congestion on Peachtree street. He had not got settled in his seat before Aiderman John E. McClelland, iko a candidate for mayor, was on the floor attacking tiie Ivy street plan and declaring that the south side was being cheated out of its just proportion of improvements. It was whisper d around the cham ber that it was rank discrimination against the candidates for mayor who were not members of council if the campaign for mayor was to be con ducted on the floor of council. Council man Albert Thomson even made a mo tion that the privileges of the floor be extended to Dr. George Brown and Steve R. Johnston, ’the other candi dates. Debate Howell's Case. There was a long debate over wheth er council should recommend to next year's council that $5,000 be appro priated to pay Albert Howell for a ten-foot strip of land at the corner of Peachtree street and Ponce DeLeon avenue. The resolution finally was adopted, after an amendment had been attached providing that it not be paid until waivers for damage had been signed by all property owners between Ellis and Fifteenth streets. The prop ertv owners have agreed to advance the money to Mr. Howell, because he is ready to begin the erection of a $500.- 000 building, which would make the widening of Peachtree street impossible if it was not set back ten feet. The chief of construction was in structed to prepare a profile for a new grade on Whitehall street, between Trinity avenue and Cooper street. The plan is to regrade and repave this street. In view of the approval of Governor Brown of the city charter amendment bill, giving council authority to clpse the Forsyth street underpass and to completely reorganize the street im provement system, a special committee was appointed to take up the Forsyth street underpass matter, with Claude. (.’. Mason chairman. Council was ad journed until next Monday, when the reorganization of the street improve ment system will be taken up. As a first step a committee will be ap jrolnted to make a sweeping investiga tion of the chief of construction's office. J. J. Brown has adopted The Albany Herald’s slogan, “Hog, hominy and hay,” as one of his planks in his race for commissioner of agri culture. SI.OO Alarm Clocks at 50c. M.

Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—President Taft's record in this session of con gress alone deserves so large a meas ure of admira- tion and gratitude from the Ameri can people as to insure his re election end 1 believe it will. He has stood like a rock in oppo sition to the "leg islative recall," wjiich the Demo cratic house has attempted t o practice on the commerce court. He has exerted a potent influence to prevent Demo cratic parsimony from crippling the navy. fa *" ?• He has been as adamant against the efforts of the Democrats to mutilate the civil service by legislation which would cancel the employment of every government employee at the end of seven years and thus necessitate a re sort to th old and discredited "pull.” He has compelled the legislative branch of the government to observe the constitutional provision for three co-ordinate branches of the govern ment which it attempted to override by an effort to legislate a general of ficer cut of the office of chief of staff. He has sought by every possible means to inculcate in a recklessly ex travagant Democratic majority In the house the principles of public economy, and he has endeavored by a series of presidential messages to guide the leg islative branch along the lines of wise legislation, beneficial alike to producer and consumer, to the wage earner and the employer. His Stand For Commerce Court. Congress, seeking only to inculcate favor with the thoughtless, has seen fit to attempt to abolish by legislative en actment the commerce court because certain of its decisions have been un popular. It has wholly disregarded the all important fact that by means of that court the litigant has been enabled to secure the adjudication of his claim against the railroad in six months, in stead of waiting two years, which was the average time required to settle an appeal to the circuit court before the commerce court was created. The ad vantage of such a reduction to every shipper who has not unlimited means at his disposal all must appreciate, as also he must appreciate how little, by comparison, such delay inconveniences the wealthy and powerful road. It has seemed popular to denounce certain decisions of the commerce court ; s inimical to the interests of the ship pers, even- as a travesty on justice. Even were these charges true. the shippers would have been deprived of no rights, for the same right of appeal to the supreme court which the ship per always enjoyed is still open to him and in at least one instance the su preme court has overruled the com merce court in the interest of the ship per. These charges are tiot true, how ever. The proper development and main- Vote for Robert B. Black burn for the legislature. He has been tried and has made good.

Editor The Georgian: Mr. Paul B. Trammell. Dear Sir —In reply to your last card, which appeared in the paper yesterday. 1 desire to say that I had charged you with having changed your vote in the Tallulah Falls Power Company matter, first having voted for a capitalization of $47,000,000, and subsequently voting to allow this company to capitalize for the full amount asked for, the same being $57,000,000 I further charge that your kinsman and business associate was employed by this company. You denied that your kinsman and business asso ciate.

TUESDAY. AUGUST 20. 1912. tenance of the American navy would have been brought to an absolute standstill by Democratic parsimony hail it not been for the persistent efforts of President Taft and the members of hi cabinet which have made so plain to the American public the needs of the navy. Patriotic Democratic newspa pers here condemned in unmeasured terms the course of their representa tives in congress, so that now there is every- prospect that at least one battle ship will be authorized. The Democrats have sought persis tently to nullify the great reforms which have been accomplished by Re publican administrations in the estab lishment of a civii service free from political influences. To this end. and in order to make the civil service em ployee once more dependent upon the whim of the congressman, the Demo crats in the house passed a bill which, had it been approved by President Taft, would have made it necessary for every government employee to turn his at tention from the work ui the govern ment and to devote it to cultivating such political Influence as would insure his retention at the end of each seven yagr period. Fortunately this provi sion. as well as that which provides for the legislative recall of the judges of the commerce couit, are contained in a single appropriation bill which will be properly vetoed by President Taft. Saving an Army Officer. When the politicians in congress sought to legislate out of office a gen eral officer because he had not sought first their favor at t’he expense of the economical and efficient administra tion of the army. President Taft promptly vetoed the army appropria tion bill. Tlje success of the attempt would have encouraged every military politi cian and discouraged every army officer w ho. true to his calling, sought only the efficiency of this great arm of the na tion s defense. A less courageous pies ident might have sought to promote his personal popularity by signing the bill, even at the expense of the army’s wef fare, but in this, as in all cases. Presi dent Taft refused even to consider questions of political expediency and persisted in standing for the right, even though by so doing he might incur the enmity of powerful members of. con gress, some of them in his own party.

LONE MISTER ROOTS 3 ROBBERS Falls Into Creek in Death Grap ple With Negro—Saves $750 Money Bag. • To keep workers at the Intrench ment creek plant of the sewerage con struction work from losing their pay, Cai King fought three robbers, put two to flight, and narrowy escaped drowning when he and the third high wayman fell In the creek in a death struggle for tiie money bag containing $750. The negroes are being hunted to day. King had been to the city to draw the payroll for Chester A. Dady, who has the contract for the work, and was nearing the Intrenchment cteek plant when approached by a trio of negroes. They were all armed with revolvers. Just previously. King had picked up a club from the roadside and had it in his hand when he was accosted. The revolvers didn't worry him. Ho swung his club and the nearest robber was sent scurrying away with a split head. He attacked the second so fiercely that he. too. took to his heels. The third highwayman was of more determined stuff. He grappled with the paymaster and a desperate strug gle was on. So fierce was it that both men fell from the road Into the creek running along its side. Still they fought, until exhausted and half drowned, the negro gave up and break ing away made his escape. King was too weak to follow, but the money was saved. TO TALK ABOUT SWINE. MACON. GA.. Aug. 20. -Dr. Peter F.
