HEW CREMATORY
FIGHT BEGUN 8F
WOODWARD
Asks Comptrollr and Treasurer
Not to Make Payment for
Plant This Month.
Undaunted by h4s defeat by the may
or and council in his fight to prevent
the building of the $378,000 crematory
and garbage disposal plant, Mayor
elect James G. Woodward planned a
second fight today.
He made a personal request of
Comptroller Goldsmith and Treasurer
Peeples not to p>ay out any money for
the new plant before the first of next
year, the date on which he takes his
office.
As these officials are subordinate to
and under the direction of the mayor
and council, delay of any payment by
them could be but brief, even though
they desired tn comply with Mr.
Woodward’s wish.
Sees Violation of Ordinance.
Neither of them believes there will
be.any occasion to act, because it is
hardly probable that any voucher will
be drawn for payfnent on the new
plant before the first of the year.
Mr. Woodward’s new argument is
that the spending of the $50,000 of bond
money on the $378,000 crematory is a
violation of the bond ordinance.
The bond ordinance, as originally
adopted by council, provided that txvo
crematories should be built for the
$50,000. It was under the provisions of
this ordinance that the people voted the
bonds.
The plan was found to be' impracti
cal. By a. new vote of the people, the
restrictions were removed frotn the
money, so that all of it could be spent
on qne crematory.
Argues For Another Vote.
Mr. Woodwatd holds the matter
should be submitted to the people again
if the money is to be spent as part
payment on a $378,000 plant. The ad
vocates of the plant argue that all re
strictions were remox-ed by the last
vote of the people.
The old cremator}' practically is torn
down. Dr. W. I>. Gilbert, president of
the board of health, said today work
on the new plant would be begun to
morrow.
No payment is to be made on the
new plant until $50,000 worth of work
and material is to be upon
the crematory grounds. Then the $50,-
000 of bond money is to be paid to the
Destructor Company, which has the
contract for the plant. But it is not
expected that this money will be due to
the company until after January 1.
There will probably be a new fight
in council over the matter, however,
because more money is necessary for
excavations. The board of health will
cal! upon council for about SI,OOO more
money for this purpose.
FRIENDS SAY MISSING
BRIDE-TO-BE ELOPED
WITH HER OLD SUITOR
BRISTOL, TENN., Dec. 10.—Miss Vera
Ethel Willis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Willis, of Big Stone Gap, Va.,
and a prominent society girl of that city,
is mysteriously missing, following the
formal announcement of her engagement
to Dr. Henry Hudson Naff, a prominent
physician, of Knoxville. Tenn. Rela
tives have come here in search of her,
supposing that she was on a visit to the
wife of J. G. Hagy, a postofffee inspec
tor whom she frequently visited.
Today it is believed Miss Willis eloped
Sunday afternoon with a prominent young
real estate man of Lynchburg, Va., to
whom she was engaged prior to her en
gagement to the Knoxville physician. It
is understood that after she broke off the
engagement with the Lynchburg man the
latter became despondent and his busi
ness partner wrote Miss Willis to help
him bear the disappointment.
Friends got a trace of a meeting of
the girl and the Lynchburg man at a
Bristol hotel Sunday afternoon. She came
here presumably to buy a wending trous
seau. She is a graduate of Sullins col
lege.
BROWN AND WILSON
CELEBRATE BIRTH
ON THE SAME DATE
Governor Brown has discovered that his
and President-elect Woodrow Wilson’s
birthdays fall on the same date —Decem-
ber 28.
The z governor's first birthday occurred
a few years before the president elect's,
to be sure, but they both celebrate simul
taneously nowadays.
"We discussed the relations of the
presidency and the governorships at the
Richmond governors' conference.” said
Governor Brown today, “and Governor
Hadley made a fine suggestion, too. He
moved that the conference adopt reso
lutions of congratulations to both Gov
ernor Wilson tend Governor Marshall, and
that It should be recommended that the
succession to the presidency and vice
presidency be kept rigidly within the line
of governors.
"I think I shall write Governor Wilson
and let him know our birthdays come on
the same date. He may be very glad to
hear it—who knows!"

children play quietly and prettily in a
big room on a lower floor.
They do not play nosily, a? children
are wont to do. There Is no hair-pull
ing. There is rarely a whisper. The
little ones seem to know that, their
parents are at divine worship. The
spirit of the meeting above is communi
cated to their play room.
This room is the latest feature of the
big institutional church. It was pro
vided to enable mothers with little ones
to care for to attend church without
inconvenience to themselves or neglect
of their children.
Mothers Forced To Remain at Home.
There are many church-going women
financially unable to employ a nurse
for their children. The idea of leaving
tlie little ones at home, unguarded
against sudden illness,, fire, or a dozen
other perils while the parent worshiped
was. of course, out of the question.
There were two alternatives —to take
the children to church, or remain away
from worship. The mothers generally
chose the latter. Children can not sit
quietly through a long service. They
will fret, whimper, squirm. They be
come an embarrassment to the parent
and an annoyance to others in the
church building.
To solve the problem. Dp. Robert
Stuart MacArthur, pastor of the Tab
ernacle. instituted this rest room for
the children. It is officially called the
“creche.”
Little Ones Left With Matron.
When the parent comes to church
with a child too young to appreciate
the services, the little one is left with
the matron in charge of this rooiVi,
During the services the children are
allowed to amuse themselves with play
things. toys, books, or do they
please so long as they do not disturb
the worship upstairs.
Mrs. Ida Richards Compton, the ma
tron in charge, always is with them to
look after their every care.
Since the room was provided, the at
tendance of mothers has increased no
ticeably, while each service finds more
children taken care of in the creche.

members of the crew of the steamer
Etonian, from Antwerp, were suffering
from severe acid burns when that

HERO OF TITANIC
DISASTER VISITS
U. S. LAWMAKERS
WASHINGTON, Dec'. 10. —Whether a
British private citizen, honored with
the thanks of congress and a congres
sional medal, has a right to enter upon
the floor of the United States senate
chamber Is a question which gave the
officials of that body some busy mo
ments yesterday. Captain Arthur H.
Rostron, rescuer of over 700 survivors
from the Titanic, came into the senate
today under the escort of Senator Wil
liam Alden Smith, of Michigan, and
spent some time meeting members of
that body. Officials of the senate have
not yet determined whether he was en
titled to the privilege of the floor.
The Titanic hero visited both houses
of congress with Senator Smith. No
question was raised in the house as to
his eligibility there, the vote of thanks
from congress carrying with it the priv
| ilege of entering that body at any time,
i Senator Smith insisted that Captain
Rostron was entitled to like privileges
in the senate.
TOBACCO KING AFTER
CONSUMER, HE TOLD
DISSENTING JOBBER
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—" The con
sumer is the man I am after.”
These words were attributed to
James B. Duke, the tobacco magnate,
by Albert H. Hillman,*a tobacco jobber,
who was a witness in the $300,000 dam
age suit brought by John E. Locker, of
Brooklyn, against the American Tobac
co Company, which is being tried in the
United States court here.
Hillman described a discussion re
garding tobacco prices he had with
Duke about the time of the organiza
tion of the Metropolitan Tobacco Com
pany, which, It was claimed, was the
local selling agent of the American. He
1 said he protested that jobbers could not
, stand an advance in prices, and Duke
replied;
"Raise your price to the retailer. Let
the retailer raise his price to the con
sumer. The consumer i.s the man I am
after. If the retailers won’t raise
prices, we will establish retail stores of
our own."

M CUT OFF
COUNTY MY
ESTIMATES
Commissioners Prune Budgets
of Clerk, Sheriff, and Solici
tors Under New Law.
Effecting,what they assert will be a
saving of $40,000 yearly to the county
through the operation of the salary act,
the Fulton commission today lopped oft
$24,430 from the office expense esti
mates of the four officials who have
complied thus far with all the pro
visions of the new law. The tax col
lector, tax receiver and the ordinary are
contesting the validity of the act In
court.
Instead of getting $99,930 to run their
offices for 1913, the court clerk, the
sheriff, the solicitor general and the so
licitor of the criminal court will be
handed $75,500 from the county coffers
for the first year of the salary system
experiment.
With the exception of the sheriff’s
estimate the commission’s pruning was
light, but the jail office figures were
cut down SIB,OOO. Sheriff Mangum
asked for $50,000 and got $32,000; Ar
nold Broyles, court clerk, (requested
$38,280 and got $35,000; Solicitor Dor
sey asked for $6,250 and received $5,-
000, and Solicitor Lowry Arnold asked
for $5,400 and was given $3,500. These
figures do not include the salary of each
official. Each one of the four officers
will receive a salary of $5,000.
To Save $40,000.
In fixing the salary aggregates for
the four offices, the commission main
tained that the operation of the salary
law would bring the county some $40,-
000 over and above all expenses.
As a result of the operation of ths
salary act the commission will taka
direct charge of the county Jail as far
as the operating expense is concerned,
and will handle the feeding of prison
ers. This has been done heretofore by
Sheriff Mangum, under contract with
the commission.
According to the auditor’s report on
the fees of the four offices—the report
upon which the county made its ag
gregate estimates—the sheriff, under
contract with the county commission at
45 cents a day for each prisoner, has
netted some $12,000 in the past year.
The commission referred the Jail mat
ter to its public building committee.
Appointments in Ten Daye.
According to t’he provisions of the
new law\ the four officers affected are
required to make their appointments
and fix the salaries of their appointees
within ten days after their office ex
penses are fixed In the lump by the
commission. A list of these appointees
and the salary of each is to be given
publication.
Members of the commission asserted
that they had been guided almost en
tirely by the fees earned by the offices
in the past year and the estimates sent
In by the officials as to the number of
deputies and assistants employed in the
various offices. In estimating the earn
ing power of the offices, including the
salaries to be paid the four officials un
der the new law, said the committee,
the county should save $40,000 yearly.
No attempt was made on the part of
the commission to estimate the earning
capacity of the offices of tax receiver,
tax collector or ordinary.
