Municipal Research Man Says
City's Government Costs
Thousands Too Much.
SCORES ALL SECRECY
IN MAKING UP BUDGET
Asserts Politics Plays Too Big
a Part, and Points Out the
Needed Reforms.
‘‘Atlanta is remarkably free from
graft. I not observed the suspi
cion of city officials nor the reports of
crookedness that are characteristic of
so many cities
‘‘(But these very shocking graft ex
posures in so many of our cities have
done a far greater good than the mere
ousting of crooks and punishment of
criminals. They have dramatically
shown the people of those cities that
the real crime of their governments
was waste and mismanagement, and
not the tapping of the public till.
“Atlanta’s trouble is that the mu
nicipal machinery is cumbersome, il
logical. unsystematic. To operate it
costs thousands of dollars too much
money.”
That was the comment today of Her
bert R. Sands, of the bureau of mu
nicipal research of New York, who is
engaged in making a survey of Atlan
ta’s city government, under the direc
tion of the Chamber of Commerce.
Public Ignorance
Blamed hy Expert.
He was asked to give the principal
cause for poor municipal governments.
“A lack of accurate information on
the part of the public,” was his laconic
answer.
“Just as soon as the people under
stand the true conditions, just that
soon will they demand correct reme
dies. They should require the officials
to take them into their confidence on
every municipal matter,”
He was told that our annual budget
is made up in secret sessions of the
finance committee of council. He was
informed that the officials argued that
if the people were taken into the con
fidence of the committee during the
divisions of the revenue, there would
be so much wrangling that it would
take forever to agree upon a finance
sheet.
Mr. Sands’ eyes lighted as he spoke
with new interest:
"Nothing was ever farther from right
reasoning.
"The people should know every de
tail of the framing of this budget, if
they never hear anything else of ttjeir
government.
"When the affairs of a department go
wrong, the head of that department is
blamed. He usually cries a lack of
funds. When he makes his request for
his annual appropriation, he outlines
the policy of his department for the
year.
“It is the people’s business to know
why he did not get the money h* asked
for. and why he got what he did get.
“When we began our investigation in
Chicago, we found that the greater
part of the funds were apportioned to
the.various wards in lump sums.
“The politicians could spend all that
money in letting contracts to their
friends.
“The politicians could keep it all un
til a short time before election, and
spend it in payrolls.
“The funds were divided by the time
honored log-rolling process, created and
fostered by. the ward system.
“Atlanta is nothing like that bad.
But a study of the budget has shown
me that the making of its budget is
influenced too much by politics.
Points Out Badly
Needed Reform.
Mr. Sands has completed a survey of
the construction department. He Is
now deep In a study of the financial
system. He said he had found much to
praise in the work of Graham West,
chief clerk to the comptroller, who is
putting into effect many of the more
modern ideas of municipal business
system. He pointed out some of the
more important plans which wide
awake cities are seeking to adopt, as
follows:
A municipal research bureau to keep
in touch with all the actions of the city
officials and to advise them how other
cities arc handling similar matters.
A standardization of the payrolls, so
that every man In the city government
will get the same pay for the same
work.
A standardization of reports of de
partments, showing the unit cost in
each department. Most departmental
reports, he said, wore worse than use-
A standardization of all specifications
for blds.
"These are reforms Atlanta is badly
in need of,” he declared.
ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912.
Young Ben Tillman
Vows to Rewin His
Divorced Wife's Love
“I Will Control Your Spirit or
Die,” Writes Senator’s Son
to Lucy Dugas.
COLUMBIA. S. C., Nov. 16.—“ Just so
surely as Ben Tillman had the force of
character to overthrow the old regime
of aristocrats in South Carolina. •so
have I the strength of mind to make
you love, honor and obey me,” is part
of a letter written by Benjamin R.
Tillman. Jr., to his divorced wife. Mrs.
Lucy Dugas, which appears in the pa
pers in a suit just filed by Mr. Tillman
to get possession of their children,
Douschka .an.d Sarah. The plaintiff
is a son of Senator Tillman and Mrs.
Dugas is a granddaughter of (Governor
Pickens, who was minister to Russia
under President Buchanan.
Throughout the letter Mr. Tillman
alludes to his former wife as a member
of the "bourbon class” and speaks of
himself as of plebeian origin, but de
clares that he will crush her proud spir
it and compel her to love him. De
fending the senator's political course,
to which the family of Mrs. Dugas was
bitterly antagonistic, Mr. Tillman says:
"Tillmanism comes to redeem South
Carolina from the atrophy that was
upon her when ruled by the cult from
which you came. You shall acknowl
edge it.
“You own Edgefield, your friends are
loyal, you are strong, you have the
anti-Tlllman press and you have the
supreme court with you. Hear me, lit
tle aristocrat thoroughbred, they have
no terrors for me.
“The average man does not know
how the eagles fly or take their quarry.
You and I are fighting with a grim
ness that means much to both, high
above the clouds and in a kind of ether
few will understand, but I will control
your spirit or die.”
In concluding the letter. Mr. Tillman
repeatedly expresses his love for Mrs.
Dugas,
LITTLE GIRL BURNED
FATALLY; BONFIRE
IGNITES HER DRESS
While playing around a fire shortly
before noon today, which she and her

dress caught. She soon was a mass of
flames, and ran screaming toward the
house. Persons from the street ran in
and rescued the other two children and
tried to put out the fire.
The child was burned badly on the
face, limbs and body. She was in the

STATE SUES FOR
TALLULAH LANDS
Attorney General Thomas S. Felder
has filed an injectment suit against the
Georgia Railway and Power Company,
charging the defendant company with
holding illegally certain lands of the
state of Georgia along the Tallulah
river.
This suit was brought under au
thority of a resolution adopted by the
Georgia legislature at its last session,
and has been filed in Rabun superior
court, at Clayton, the county seat.
The suit is returnable to the Febru
ary term of the court, and can not be
heard before next August.
While the suit is pending there will
be nothing to prevent the power com
pany from proceeding with the grea’
work It. is doing at Tallulah Falls, and
should the company lose its suit, which
it by no means expects to do, it still
may apply to the state for the purchase
of the land or the perfection of its title.
The state’s petition alleges that the
power company has been in unlawful
possession of the disputed territory
since January 1, 1910, at a profit to it
self of SIO,OOO per annum.
This controversy has attracted no
end of attention throughout Georgia
for the past two years, and the present
suit is fathered by the Tallulah Falls
Conservation association.
Associated with the attorney genera!
in the suit are Watkins & Latimer.
F. C. Foster, R. <’. Ellis, H. S. White,
J. H. Felker and Charles G. Reynolds,

Only 11 Years Old
Louisiana Court Clerk Issues Li
cense For Slip of Girl to
Wed Farmer.
SCHRIEVER. DA., Nov 16.—Clerk
AKdams, in the county clerk’s office here,
was snoocing over the marriage license
book. There hadn’t been any one in
the place for a license for a week.
When he awoke with a start a six-foot
man stood before the railing. Beside
the stranger was a mere wisp of a girl,
sucking her thumb. Adams blinked his
eyes.
“Want a license,” said the lanky indi
vidual. He gave his name as Paul
Dietz, 23 years old, occupation farmer.
"And —er —the girl?" spoke up the
clerk.
"Oh, she's Agnes Callahan." said
Dietz, edging to her side coyly.
“And age?” asked Clerk Adams.
"Eleven,” piped the intended bride
in a shrill voice.
Clerk Adams sent the pair after the
girl’s parents. They came and gave
their consent to the marriage. Tfaa
girl is probably the youngest that has
ever been married in the United States.
Her father Is a fanner.
Three years ago the bridegroom’s
brother, Emile, married the mother of
the bride. Now the mother of the girl
becomes her sister-in-law also. If any
children are born to the eleven-year
old bride they will be cousins to the
mother’s mother, besides being grand

J. B. McNamara asked Frank Eekhoff,
their boyhood chum, to dynamite Mary

confidante, .when she was going home

J. B. McNamara wanted to kill him

Eekhoff related that he had "shad

companion, and that when he notified
McNamara the latter hurried to the
hotel and forced himself into the room
occupied by the two. He carried a

Hypnotic Influence
Over Minnie March
man, Is Claim of Rel

Love Missives as
Chemist Hunts for
Poison—Will Ex-
hume Body.
ASHBURN, GA., Nov. 16.—That
Tan Cleghorn, missing fiance of
Miss Minnie Marehman, who lies
dead while an Atlanta chemist
probes for poison, exerted a pow
erful hypnotic-like influence over
the girl and held her helpless un
der this spell, was the declaration
made today by Mrs. W. J. Coch
ran. her eldest sister.
‘‘l’m sure Cleghorn influenced
Minnie to do this to save himself,”
she said, significantly. Mrs. Coch
ran says she tried hard to break
up the affair between her younger
sister and the neighbor planter,
but that Minnie was infatuated
with Tan and ignored her plea.
She says the girl seemed determined
to marry Cleghorn, and appeared hap
py and joyful until she was taken
strangely ill following her vjsit to Ash
burn with Cleghorn the day of the
supposed marriage.
Search Begun
For Love Letters.
Search has been begun by Cochran
and authorities to find any possible love
letters that may have passed between
the girl and Cleghorn. These are want
ed as important evidence to throw ad
ditional light on a possible motive for
poisoning. Mr. and Mrs, A. D. Mareh
man, aged father and mother of the
dead girl, say they have been unable to
find any love letters, and that If any
were written they were destroyed.
•Cochran believes that poison was
given his sister-in-law, but that its
purpose was not murder. Whether
murder was planned or whether the
poison was intended for other purposes,
Cochran today announced his purpose
of having the girl’s body exhumed to ‘
find the exact truth.
No further move, however, is expect,
ed until the result of the analysis of
the girl’s stomach in Atlanta is known.
Should poison be found, rapid develop
ments are expected.
Sheriff J. A. King, of Turner county,
says« he is ready to Institute vigorous
search for Cleghorn the moment the
analysis shows anything criminal. A
coroner’s jury recommended that Cleg
horn be held for investigation, and is
suance of a formal warrant by Justice
of Peace Pate will come if a crime is
shown. v
Mystery in Time of
Youth’s Disappearance.
The sheriff is certain Cleghorn can
be arrested. So far. lie has not been
sought out of Turner county. If he is
still here, as is believed by some, he Is
keeping closely hidden. Statements to
The Georgian by the Marchman and
Cleghorn families as to the time Cleg
horn disappeared are contradictory.
Cochran and his wife declare the plant
er left Ashburn the Monday following
the Thursday I,e and Miss Marehman
drove here from the country home.
Marion Cleghorn, a brother, asserts
that Tan went away fully a month be
fore the girl became ill. Cochran says
the Ashburn visit was but six days be
fore the girl died in convulsions.
Miss Marchman, in addition to Mrs.
Cochran, has a twin sister, Mrs. W. M. r
Conley, in Rhyne, Ga., and also three
brothers. J. B. Marchman. of Amboy
district, L. D. Marchman, of Sylvester,
Ga., and J. R. Marchman, of Telfair
county.
Case Shows Perils to
Girls in Country
By EVELYN WREN.
Minnie Marchman taught a lesson
with her last breath. It wasn’t a pret
ty lesson and Minnie Marchman prob
ably did not know that in the valley of
the shadow she had been transformed
from a simple little country girl, with
more dimples than mind, to a teacher
of some great and awful truths.
But no one can read those last words,
“I never want to lay my eyes on Tan
Cleghorn again; he has wrecked my
life and I want him to reap his just
reward,” without the thought that per
haps the price she has paid, terrible '
as it Is, may serve a purpose like that
which has come down through the ages
from Mount Calvary.
The Belle of Amboy was probably
just an ordinary country lass, endowed,
It is likely, with more attractiveness
than brains, with the same thoughts,
the same impulses, the same passions
