As a forerunner of the rigid Investi gation of the city construction depart ment by the special coiqmittee of ten of council tomorrow afternoon, the sewer committee of council met this after noon to take up the matter of delayed sewer contracts. Tlie committee will probably lie forced to stop the laving of lateral sewers, though ChairmanTTldine Chambers said he wants the work to go on if possible. The law provides that no new sewers shall be authorized after October 1. While sufficient work lias already been authorized to keep the J. B. McCrary Company, the contractor, busy until the first of the year, tlie company is losing money on the contract and insists that th' oidinances authorizing sewers not yet begun be repealed. City's Engineers Complained Os. j The city could require a forfeiture <jf the bond of the company if all work already passed up by council is not completed, except that there are a number of serious complaints against the engineering methods of the con struction depa rtrnent. These ehaiges have not been made public, but will be investigated by the special committee, which begins its ses sions tomorrow. The committee is to resume the investigation begun as a resuit of The Georgian's campaign be fore the eitv primary The sewer committee and the bond commission todav notified Chester A. Dady, contractor for the Peachtree Creek and Intrenchinent Creek sewage disposal plants, that he must complete his contracts within the specified time or his bondsmen would be appealed to. Tile cont iai ts amount to about $499,(100 and extensions of time have been granted for both plants. lite Peachtree plant is to be com plet'd by January 1. while the other is not supposed to be completed until next - pi mg.

The . contract recently signed states 'hat the i work must bo completed within five months f'i om tlie time it is begun, but Un site, t is almost impassable, work 1 has not begun, and the citizens ate clamoring for relief lodgemen will leave no stone unturned to give needy Atlanta children a real Christmas. 'l'he afternoon rehearsals are given over to the drilling of children, who will take part in some of tlie most brilliant numbers. Tlie grownups who will appear in dances from tlie classic operas are being drilled at night. Perhaps the most striking feature of I tile Kirmess will be the dances figured In by members of Ihe younger society set. At least a score of Atlanta buds are daily rehearsing a. number of pic turesque dances, which are under the direction of Agostini. Among the ones prominent in the dances are Misses ' Amelia Smith, Katie Cooper. Elizabeth t Smith. Janie Cooper, Sophie Hopkins • and Lydia Nash. ESTOCK SALE ISOSUHS MEE Locomotive Engineer Declares in Suit That His Salary Will Not Pay Interest. According to R. L. Robinson, a rail road engineer, who appeared in supe rior court today as a plaintiff against sundry Atlanta loan agents, the very latest thing in excessive interest loans is stock selling as a dodge to evade.the law. Robinson mairttalned to tlie court that lie borrowed SSB from the Guaran tee Investment Company and was as . sc-sed a monthly interest of $12.19, He said that T. L. McCurry, manager of i tlie loan company, told him that $lO.lO of the amount went for the purchase of ■ stock in the guarantee company. He ; said that no stock certificates were is sued him nor did he have a hand in the : affairs of the company. Robinson, in an effort to get an In junction restraining various agent* f from taking his wages at the Southern . railroad, told the court his adventures with several companies. i He said that P. P. Jackson had in duced him to sign what Is called “a thousand-mile order,” described as an assignment of wages and the granting • of a power of attorney. In the "thou- > sand-rnile order,” Robinson obtained . $57 at twenty per cent monthly Inter- > est. His failure to pay brought a i threat from Jackson, which, if exe cuted, jpeant the loss of his job, While tied up with Jackson and the I Guarantee Investment Company, Rob . insort stiys tlie Atlanta Finance /Com- ■ pany loaned him $25 at a monthly in- • terest rate of twenty per rent and took an assignment of wages, refusing to let ■ him see the paper that he signed. He . was led to believe that It was merely ) a promissory note In addition, he got i S2B for S4.SO a month from W. Gar land Cooper in the same manner. , Asa result, four companies, all hold ing "thousaiid-niile orders" against him. are threatening to levy on his wage.- as an engineer, lie told Judge Bell that the Southern railway made it a rule to discharge a man if an as igument older against ills wages was I presented Jor collection. After hearing tile testimony, Jtslge Bi ll grant' ll Robinson a temporary n - siiaining order and sei the case for No i vember I Robinson said his wages would not pa\ the interest, much less ’ the principal, of his various loans.

Colonel Roosevelt reached here today on his way to Oyster Bay. Much of the long morning on the train was spent in reading. The colonel had an assortment of magazines and books in his compartment. He read fitfully, for snatches of half an hour, then' laid aside the book, to take it up again later. In tiiis way he passed the morn ing. A part of the time the strenuous ’ former president openly and fiankly did nothing at all but rest. His fatigue, however, caused no alarm to Drs. Scurry Terrell and Alexander Lambert, who accompanied him. "The colonel is just like any patient who has been laid up for a week." said Dr Lambert “It is quite natural that he becomes tired. It means nothing z but the natural physical condition of one who has been yontlned to bed. Be sides, it must be remembered that the colonel has had cause for excitement in political conferences during his stay in the hospital.” The- colonel's condition was so good that the official bulletin issued to the newspaper, men about noon merely said the patient was resting well and was very comfortable. "I do not think it necessary to take his temperature and pulse,” said Dr. Lambert, Dr. Lambert said there was every reason to believe that the colonel would reach Oyster Ba\ in excellent condi tion. A week of absolute rest there would do "omb i s so him, the doctor added. Crowds Quieter At Railroad's Request, Tile doctors were pleased when they found (he people who gathered to watch the crxlonel's train pass generally re frained front shouting. After the train had left Valparaiso tlie crowds at the stations were smaller. The railroad of ficials had sent out a iequest ahead of tlie train that'no big crow ds gather and 1 that no demonstration be made. At Warsaw, Plymouth and Winon.i Lake crowds had gathered. They walk ed silently around the colonel's ear. ’ The shades in his stateroom were pulled down before every stop "How 's the colonel'.’' was the eager demand nt every stop. Some member of the traveling parts had to answer the question. When Assured that the patient was getting along well there were unmistakable signs that the peo ple were pleased. "Teddyl Teddy!" shrieked a gtotip of ailroad mon at Plymouth. < 'oloncl <‘ceil Lyon stepped in th* • [back platform of the train and askfd them not to disturb the colonel.
