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 brother, aged 9. and sister, Elizabeth, aged 4, had built In the back yard of their home, Evelyn Taylor, 6 years old. 286 Funset avenue, was burned.

She was in the first grade of the Davis Street school, having started In September. Her fa ther went to the hospital with the am bulance.

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.

OUR OLD FRIEND BILL Parents Consent to Marriage of Child 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 child: e?

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.

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.
