WEP PERILED
Experts Declare Open Vaults
Near Reservoir Menace
Health of All Atlanta.
Dr. Claude A. Smith ami 1 >r. .1. F.
Kennedy, Atlanta's health officers, ar -.-
preparing a letter to the water board
today in which they severely condemn
the ' xistence of the open vaults around
the water reservoir at the city pump
ing station.
The doctors made an inspection of
the conditions yesterday. They declar
ed that the purity of the city’s entire
water supply was endangered.
Following The Georgian’s editorial on
this situation, the members of the wa
ter board have decided t > renew their
tight before council to get the land
on which these vaults nr-> located.
Several Vaults Near Reservoir.
<'ommlsisoiit r W. .1. Davis, who i„
leading the tight, declared that the
board would either get funds to pur
chase the land or it would let every
citizen of Atlanta know that the mem
bers of council are responsible for *ne
existing peril to the water supply.
Several of tin vaults border on th.
coagulating basins, which is the first
part of the tiltration system. The oth
ers border on the big reservoir. Tlti-ii'
are about fifteen vaults m property
that drains toward th. stored water.
"It is ridiculous for the city not to
control all the water shed around Its
reservoirs." said Dr. Claude A Smith.
It would be' difficult for m<- to con
demn too strongly the conditions
around the waterworks plant."
XV. Z. Smith, general manager of wa
terworks, su’d the water board re-peat
. die bad urged council to provide* funds
for the purchase- of this luud. 11. said
th.-re* was about sl4. abtaine il from
tin- sale of water bonds which would
lee a good start on the purchase price
of all th. property d.-sir.-d,
Monee Available. Declares Smith.
He said this money was lying Idle
and that the board had no such useful
purpose to which it could apply the
money as the purchase- of this land.
Acting Mayor John S. i'andb*t de
ck. t. *1 that the property was needed
badly. It consists of one block and
two small triangles, surrounded by
city property. He said It not only was
m e deii to i rot. et the city’s wate r sup
ply but that with it tile city could build
arounel th. waterworks plant one of
th. most beautiful parks in th. South.
Y. st.-'day .afternoon Mr. Smith. Mt
Davis ami the two health electors ye, nt
out to the plant to inspect the condi
tions. It was th.-r-e that the experts
declared th- sanitary conditions to be
lead ami they laid tiny would tvrlte a
strong letter to the board today. Tr-e
board will sen-i this letter to . um II

City Board Takes Up Inability
of Gus Castle to Get
Dairy Service.

Brandon, of the board of health. "I do
i not know just how the city can regu
late- it. but away will be found.”
Dr. Visanska believes Atlant i needs
better milk than that now on the mar
ket, in spite of the- present system of
Inspections and regulations. He favors
the establishment of a "Walker-Gor
don” laboratory, similar to those now
i
operated Ip sixteen Eastern cities,
which will furnish milk for infants' use.
I This milk is prepared to meet certain
specifications on a physician's prescrip
tion, and can be made to suit th.* indi
vidual need of any child. Such a labo
. rator-y could b<- established by the
Chamber of Commerce, the city or by a
private flrm or corporation.
"There is no doubt that some action
is needed to insure pure milk for At
lanta bibles,” said Ivan Allen, one of
the chamber committee. "Take one
ease, for instance, in West Peachtre.
street last summer.
A home there was stricken by ty
phoid and four memb. i« of the family
were dangerously ill, one after the
> other. It required several physicians
i and trained nurses to Save their lives
and the cost to that family was enor
mous. The neighborhood blamed bad
sewers and eve y thing else, but a pa
tient investigation showed that the man
■ who sold that family milk had a severe
‘ case of typhoid in his home, was hitn
-1 self suffering from typhoid as he deliv-
I ored the milk, and the milk itself, when
• analyzed, was found reeking with ty
phoid germs. City inspection had not
protected that family."
. Another tr- tnber of the committee
pointed out on.- way to cop. with a
milkmen's boycott.
"Let the names of all dealers com
-1 bitting in such a movement be made
publie." he said. "Then let customers
4 • efuse to buy from them. A cotrsuniers'
boycott would break the milkmen's
i league in 24 hours.'

A. O. GATES FuSILEERS OFFICER.
Friends of A. <> Gates are congrat
ulating him on his election to the sec
ond lieutenancy of the Fulton Fuslleers.
Mr Gates Is a we.l known young ln
i stirance man Fo ■ some time he has
- b. . n quartermaster sergeant of the Fu-
■ileers. and is an expert rifleman. The
j company Is now perfecting pi.ms to at
; tend th. inauguration ot President Wil
son,
HURTSTINGINGLY
RAPS MIL AND
POM CD.
It Is an Avaricious Corporation!
to Which the City Has Sold
Birthright, He Says.
Joel Hurt, president of the Atlanta
Realty Corporation. confirming his an-I
; nouncement that he would build an in
dependent power plant to furnish power
I to the entire city, if not granted a per
. mit to erect one for himself, today de
nounced the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company as an avaricious corpora
tion. to whom Atlanta had sold its
birthright.
He declared that present power rates
were three times as high as they should
be, asserting that he ctyjkl furnish poW
ier for. the operation of his new sky
j scraper at one cent per kilowatt hour,
‘ while the power company charged three
i cents.
j Mr. Hurt said he was determined to
I show that he was no bluffer. He de-
I clared that when he owned the ear
company ten years ago he had decided
that the capital should not be Increased
more than $2,000,000, believing that the
city and the company’s employees
should share in its prosperity. Under
the present regime he understood that
the total capitalization was well over
$80,000,000.
• Declares He's “No Bluffer.”
Accrding to Mr. Hurt, the Georgia
Railway and Power Company paid
lawyers SBO,OOO to convince the city that
his (Mr. Hurt's) offer to give the city
all profits over six per cent was gold
brick.
“If tile records of this corporation
were revealed,” said the capitalist, "it
would make the most startling expose
in tlie history of the United States. I
am no bluffer and I will see this thing
through to a finish.”
Mr. Hurt said the independent plant
he had in mind would be large enough
to furnish power to all and that It
would be a real competitor.
3-Cent Car Fares Enough, He Says.
He declared that street car fares in
Atlanta should be three cents and that
the employees of the car company were
being paid just about half enough. At
lanta, he said, would have to pay for
the enormous capitalization of the
Georgia Power Company.
Mr. Hurt’s decision and announce
ment came as the result of the opposi
tion of Preston Arkwright, president
of tlie power company, to a permit
which Hurt wanted from the street
committee of council to erect and op
erate a $150,000 power plant in connec
tion with ills $2,000,000 Edgewood ave
nue project.
Arkwright Objects.
Mr. Hurt yesterday asked tlie streets
committee for a permit to lay conduits
across Edgewood avenue, Exchange
place and Ivy street to connect his va
rious buildings with his proposed pri
vate power plant. Mr. Arkwright pro
tested that it was illegal to use the
streets for private interests, and that
if Mr. Hurt were allotved to operate
such a system he would by able to take
the cream of the electric business with
out being liable for franchise taxes and
public utility regulations.
“Would you be willing for me to start
a public utility plant and get fran
chises?” asked Mr. Hurt
“I would," replied Mr. Arkwright.
“I'll do it." said Mr. Hurt.
Sees Room For Competitor.
The streets committee postponed
making a decision on the request of
Mr. Hurt until the next meeting. Mr.
Hurt said today lie would have some
startling evidence to give the commit
tee at that meeting. He said a com
petitive plant to the Georgia Railway
and Power Company was one of the
most attractive propositions he knew of
in Atlanta.
Mr. Arkwright said today that Mr.
Hurt had a perfect right to build a pri
vate plant, if he wanted to. He said lie
did not care to make any further state
ment.

NOTE FOUND IN CELL
OF ROBT. CLAY LAUDS
HIM‘FOR FINE ACTING’ '
The puzzle as to whether Robert L.
(‘lay, the silent wife slayer really Is a,
maniac or whether he merely is acting |
the role’ in a desperate effort to escape
the gallows was given hew interest to
day when it become known that two |
mysterious notes had been found in the
slayer’s cell, in which he is urged to
I "keep it up—you are acting it tine.”
I The Identity of the writer is not known
i to the jailers.
i Clay recently, in what is thought to
have been a fit of anger, protested ■
against a cup of cold coffee given him.
this being the only time he has uttered
a word since he shot his wife to death
on the night of May 12 last. Since the
coffee Incident he has remained abso
lutely mum. as before.
Jail officials and officers interested in
the case believe Clay will break his long
silence and talk when he mounts the
gallows on Friday, December 13, to ex
piate his crime.
So far no move of any kind lias been
made to stay the execution.

TO JAIL SHERIFF
Head County Official. Impli

Arrival of Coroner.
FRANKLIN, GA., Nov. 30. -The
sheriff's brother is in jail and the sher
iff is under arrest, awaiting the arrival
of the coroner to lock him up, as the
result of a shooting affray at a Thanks
giving party six miles from Franklin,
in the interior of Heard county. The
host of the party is dead and his son
seriouslj’ wounded.
The shooting took place at the home
of Frank McWhorter, where the patty
was held. In the midst of the festivi
ties an argument arose between Sher
iff H. L. Taylor and his brother, Daw
son Taylor, on the one side, and Frank
McWhorter and his son. Lynn, on the
other. The Taylors had been invited to
the party, but are alleged to have come
under the influence of liquor, to which
the McWhorters objected. Tlie argu
ment started when the Taylors were
asked to leave. It became so warm
that Dawson Taylor, it is alleged, pulled
his pistol and shot both McWhorters,
killing the father.
Others at the party took the Taylors
in charge and brought them to Frank
lin. Dawson Taylor was locked in jail
immediately, but there was no one in
town wit it authority to lock up the
officer. Coroner Sam Jackson, living
ten miles in the country, was notified
and is expected here this afternoon to
