THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEATS. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1912.
ITALIAN GANG SLEW
GIRL FOR REVENGE IS
NEW POLICE THEORY
GEORGETOWN, CONN.. Nov. 11.
That the young woman whose bo Iv
tv'as found early Saturday morning in
the mill pond near here was murdered
for revenge by a gang of Italians and
that the murder was committed at tons
distance from the scene where the
: corpse was found and brought to the
, scene in a wagon, was clearly estab
i fished by tin state police today.
I Little progress has been made toward
positive identification of the body. The
1 Initials, “G. C.,” embroidered on cloth
' wrapped around the body and the gold
s ring which the woman wore furnish
practically the only clews to her Iden
. tity.
The theory that the woman was killed

piactically abandoned and Proseeutot
Bars, of Danbury, says that no woman

James Conn Shows How Bore
2 3-4 Miles Long Would
Remedy Traffic Jam.
i
' “Atlanta will’haw- a subway car sys
-1 tern from north to south w ithin a fe .v
years. The main thoroughfares are
* becoming so congested with traffic that
' an underground system will be impera
tive in the course of time.”
That is the opinion of flames C. Conn,
! of Conn <S- Fitzpatrick. engineers, in the
, Empire building Mr. Conn was t.is
-1 cussing Atlanta traffic conditions and
i the need of a remedy. He polntd from
his window, through the cloud of
I smoke, to the scene in Peachtree street
. where street cars, motors, trucks and
i wagons st uggled for the right of way.
tviill. men and women stood on the
1 sidewalks watching for a chance to
cross the street In safety.
other engineers and architects agree
i with Mr. Conn that ultimately the sur
face ears must be removed from
’ Pi.ohtiei and Whitehall streets with
in the rapidly extending business dls
, trict, ot else all other traffic must be
ousted from those streets. Atlanta i»
i ■ullaily constructed, geographically.
I The wqole city is built upon this back
■one called Peachtree street, the an
cient ridge along which a country road
once ran. This is the spine of Atlan
ta. and the other streets are merely the
ribs extending from it. There are other
north and south streets which are tak
ing up some of the traffic—Forsyth,
Broad. Pryor and Ivy—but none of
these extends for any considerable dis
tance and none can take the place of
Peachtree street and its sister beyond
the tracks—Whitehall.
Would Use Surface Cars.
“There is nothing except the cost in
the way of a subway system,'' said Mr.
Conn, running his pencil point down a
wall mail of '-he streets. “It might start
lute, at Peachtree and Tenth streets,
and end at the Junction of Whitehall
and Forsyth streets. That's about 2 3-4
miles. It could come down under
Peachtree*or It might take a straight
line under the buildings, avoiding the
curves and angles of the street. It
could cross the railway tracks above
the trains and below the viaduct floors,
becoming really an elevated' at this
point.
"It probably would be feasible to use
sui face cars for the subway traffic,
letting them drop down a grade into
the tunnel uii up another grade to
emerge at the other end, this permit
ting ears to operate on the surface In
the residence districts and underground
through the congested portion of the
city and relieving passengers of having
to transfer. That problem could easily
be worked out by engineers.”
The trolley company has a perpetual
franchise, it is held, over Peachtree
and Whitehall streets, and under exist
ing laws probably could not be forced
to place i|s tracks underground, so long
as this action would be considered con
fiscatory of property or profits. Rut
engineers believe that In the course of
time the trolley company will find Its
traffic so great that it will be impossi
ble to operate surface cars enough to
handle It, and then an underground
system will I 9 adopted as an economi

BEGUN IN COURT
Indications Are Suit To Save
. Old Plant Will Be Long,
Bitter Fight.
That the fight against the detraction
of the old city crematory will be long
drawn out and bitterly waged was In
dicated today when the hearing before
Judge Pjpdleton of E. F. Jackson’s ap
plication for injunction against the pro
posed tearing down of the garbage
plant was postponed until noon.
The attitude of counsel in asking for
a continuance led to the belief that the
suit will not end with a decision of the
lower court, but that the fight will be
carried to the supreme court.
Further legal complications were
made likely when it was announced
.that the board of health, through Presi
dent W. L. Gilbert, is threatened with
mandamus proceedings to restore the
plant to the sanitary department, while
Alderman Van Dyke has declared that
he favors the appointment o||a com
mission of experts to determine wheth
er the present plant can be operated in
safety with new guy wires to keep the
stack in place.
Despite the injunction proceeding.-,
the Destructor Company of New York,
which has the conti act for the new
plant, planned today to begin -grading
in order that the work might start as
soon as possible after the legal blocks
are withdrawn.
City Attorney Mayson was ready to
proceed with the hearing today. He
Indicated that the court would firs',
have to go into te advisability of tear
ing down te stack before it took up the
legal phases of the contract.
COLLEGE
WORTH $300,000, IS
HELD AS $75 HOLDUP
College Park officials, including the
mayor and chief of poliw. today rushed
to the rescue of their townsman. Thos.
J. Stovall, president of the Southern
Cabinet and Fixture Company, arrested
Saturday on the charge of having beat
en and robbed Dr. O. C. McElroy, a
pharmacist of 196 East Georgia avenue.
The officials assert that they have
known Stovall for years and say he ab
solutely Is incapable of committing
such a crime, while they point to the
fact that he is worth $31)0,000, to show
lack of motive for taking a sum of $75

Stovall has been released on band,
