2 Gliy TAX RUSE IS NEEDED-GANDLER Municipality Is in Bad Financial Way—Revision 4>f Budget Is Begun. ■ -HR fcS Aiderman John S. Candler, chairman of the council finance committee, was art work today with Comptroller Gold smith preparing a tentative revision of the municipal budget. Aiderman Candler said the city was Strained financially. All the depart ments are crying for more money. He said the only moans h» saw for the city to get its finances adjusted was to raise the tax rate from 1.2$ per cent to 1.50 per cent Indications are that all the "nest tags" provided in the budget In Janu ary will be taken out wjiyn the new h’ldgid is presented to cftunetl in Oeffn £ir. The October budget is merely a Readjustment of the January budget Funds are running so short that many of the .appropriations made just to start improvements will be recalled. Thousands of dollars was thus dis tributed. Much of the money is lying idle without any chance of It being spent this year. It is very uncertain which will be recalled. Every council man will strenuously oppose the recall of any funds from his pet schemes. How $3,000,000 Was Spent, I*'. A. Quillian, chairman of the bond commission, today completed a state ment of the expenditures of the $3,- 000,000 bond issue money.

It is against the rules to fall over the line, as the novice invariably does, before the javelin touches the ground at the other end. t “Javelin throwing is .-no of the best i£nd most graceful exercises that could ’be devised." said F. A. M. Webster, the 'English champion javelin thrower, who Is coaching Miss Roberts. It is especially Useful to women, as 1t develops the muscles of the neck and back as no other sport does.

This international question was raised at the .outset <tf the fight to have Gibson removed from the care of money left by the countess “I do this." said Surrogate Fowler in granting the attorney time to question the jurisdiction of the court to hear the foreign complaint, “because I am moved by sympathy for the unfortunate situa tion of Mr. Gibson.

Singer Thinks Atlanta Will Put Wagner on Map Again LAUDS CITY'S MUSICAL TASTE Mrs. Carthew-Yorstoun To Be Heard in Sunday Recitai at Auditorium-Armory. Grand Opera may some day owe much to Atlanta if the pet theory of Mrs, Carthew-Yorstoun, formerly Miss Nel lie Knight, of Atlanta, and Georgia's single contribution to the list of world prima donnas, proves to be correct. Mrs.' Yorstoun believes it is in Atlanta’s ‘ power to bring America's musical taste back to him who made modern opera— Wagner. In an engaging interview on thlpgs both musical and personal. Mrs. Yor stoun, who will sing two Wagnerian arias and a Gounod selection at the Auditorium on Sunday, lent credulity to her theory by her enthusiasm for the greatest of music dramas and Atlan ta's keen response to the intellectual In music. “Why, they tell me," she said, glow ing with her subject, “that the per- I formance of Tannhauser was the flow- i er of the Metropolitan’s week in At- i lanta last spring, a marvelous thing in the face of a week of the most brilliant of the Italian operas with the array / • Hili/ | 7/7 Si!

Geor gia’s only representative on the operatic stage. She will be heard in concert at the Auditorium Sunday. of Italian singers that came to Atlan ta.” Wagner Ruthlessly Slaughtered. it is her firm conviction that Wag ner, almost done to death for America by the screeching of German tenors and the hammering and yammering of or chestras in the years of his first vogue on this side of the Atlantfc, will again come into his own. And in Atlanta's appreciation for this gigantic musical architect, who sought in undreamed realms for strangely beautiful, themes to depict the story of the human soul, she finds more than a hopeful sign. It is prophetic of the fact the dreamer of Bayreuth will again overshadow all composers for Ameri cans. Atlanta, she believes, wilF again put Wagner on the American musical map. Mrs. Yorstoun, who has just experi enced four years enforced absence from the operatic stage because of ill health, was in high humor at the thought that she again is able to resume her sing ing. To Be Heard in Concert. Atlanta is to have tile first opportu nity on Sunday of hearing her after many years. She sang here before fin ishing her musical education tn Europe. The Romeo and Juliet aria of Gounod, Elizabeth Enteranee aria from Tann hauser and Isolde's Death Song from Tristan and Isolde will be her offerings at the Auditorium. Opera is her chosen field. After it. she says, tho concert stage is cold. Ora torio she finds- brilliant and beautiful, but too glacile. It is in the warmth of the trappings and colorings of opera that the artist loses herself and finds the role most suited to her genius. “1 would always sing opera." she said. "The concert stage is too chill. In op era 1 lose myself, my identity; I be come the character I portray. The whole story of the ptitV t,le anguish and the joy, becomes mine. "That is why I would always sing I Wagner. There is something in thei i power of his music, the depth of his | tragedii > and the heights of his ecsta i i>s that carries you away with him ' into his tonal imaginings." \s she spoke. Mrs. Yorstoun’s face | lighted and she might have stepped ' from tlie cozy little sitting room of Mrs. I ThaddeusHlorton’s home Into some dim . ■ Wagneiian wood, where a goddess awaited for the twilight of her race.

Among her Wagnerian roles which will be heard at the Auditorium as the feature of the fall municipal coaperts Mrs. Yorstoun numbers Tannhauser, the RhemgSld, Gotteidatnmerung, Loh engrin and Die Valkeries.

A striking illustration of the absurd lengths to which a idind adherence to technical rules may be carried was fur nished at the Terminal station yester day to the indignation of a small crowd of onlookers. A youth, who had barely missed death in a motorcycle accident and was badly crippled, was being wheeled in a chair by a friend, accompanied by his aged aunt, who was taking him back to her home in Alabama. At the gate leading to the train section the three were stopped. The man aiding his injured friend had no ticket, and there was no time to get a permit to pass through. It would be necessary for some one to help the eripple aboard the train. The white-haired aunt pleaded with the Terminal agent that the young man be allowed to go through "to help her nephew. The man added his plea. The invalid added his. They were ail vain. "Another party waiting behind you," said tlie ticket man, not deigning to answer the appeals. Tlie aged aunt was ready to weep with indignation, but the railroad man remained unmoved. A negro was final ly summoned and he wheeled the chair on down to the train while the friend who had been barred wasted the best part of a select vocabulary on a deaf railroad and its deafer servants.

Emory R. Buckner, at torney for'the committee, attempted to learn from Waldo details of the ad ministrative policy of the police de partment and how far this is dictated by Mayor Gaynor. In response to the first questions put to him, the commissioner said that he had no knowledge of any letters sent him accusing his secretary, Winfield R. Sheehan. The commissioner was then ques tioned as to his appointment of certain policemen after they had been refused by his predecessors. The commissioner admitted that he had appointed, to the department men who afterward proved to be crooks, but declared that his hands wer<> tied and Call An Auto PHONE BELL-ISLE Ivy 5190 Atlanta 1598 DAY OR NIGHT.

DON’T MISS A GOOD SHOW GIRL BATHERS IN MOBILE BAY GET COAT OF CREOSOTE MOBILE, ALA., Sept. 20.—Many young women of Mobile society, as well as other persons, of both sexes and in varying walks of life, were uninten tional blackface comedians last night. The trouble happened in the waters of Mobile bay when numerous bathing parties'went in for an evening dip. A big lighter, laden with creosote and beached during the recent storm, had. capsized and emptied its black contents into the water. At Monroe park and elsewhere, how ever, there was not light enough to see the floating scum, and it was not until the first* bathers began emerging that they found themselves coitted with a tarry substance that would not wash off. thaf he was forced to appoint men cer tified by the cjvil service commission.
