Winn, who hail llhewine been nominated as Mayor of the rity of Atlanta, and obtained from said Winn an assurance or promise that he, Spratling, would be made the chairman of the Police Board, which said board has direct an<J Immediate control over the grant and regulation of near beer licenses. Immediately after obtaining from Honorable Courtland S. Winn said assurance, said Spratling proceeded to Interview I he greater part, or all, of the leading firms and corporations engaged In the near beer business in the city of Atlanta. To these persons, firms and corporations, he represented that he was to be made the ehairtnan of said Police Committee, and lhat he desired to obtain from them different sums of money. He further rep resented that, as such chairman of the committee, he would be alila to pro tect said near beer dealers in the particular zones which they were opera ting. . Said Spratling. by force of Ills position and said representations, coerced said near beer dealers, or many of them, to either directly lend or indorse his paper for various sums, I charge that, as to one of these near beet dealers, he obtained a sum of about $800; from another the sum of about $500; from another the sum of about $2,000. 1 charge that he went to Mr. Paul Smith (now dead), who was operating a near beer saloon on Viaduct Place, and requested said Smith to lend him fhe sum of $200, giving the usual and customary promise of protection as nn official; and that the said Smith went to the officers of the Fourth National Bank, in the city of At- by promissory notes held by various lanta, and stated to them that he desired o borrow the said sum of $300 for the purpose of relending the same to the said Spratling. and that the said officers of said bank, after con ference, advised the said Smith not to make the loan to Spratling. I charge that the money thus ob tained by the said indorsements of said near-beer dealers hail not been repaid by the said Spratling, and that .aid indorsements are now evidenced banks In the city of Atlanta. 1 charge that said conduct upon the part of said Spratling constituted a deliberate and wanton misuse of his official position, to the detriment if the public, which had elected him to said position, and was a betrayal >f said trust and confidence. I charge that substantially all of these facts were made known to Mayor Winn, and that by reason of the truth of same he (Mayor Winn) refused to appoint Spratling chairman of the committee that St was agreed he should be. J. E. M’CLELLANT), Accused Invited to Sue Their Accuser l > Following these charges, Alderman McClelland made public the following letter for publication In the newspa pers: Messrs. Maddox, Ragsdale and Spratling, City: Dear first—When elected an of ficer of the city, 1 was Inspired by the belief that all of the City , Council had been, In the past, composed of men who were duly mindful of tile obligations im posed upon them us public serv ants. Since my election 1 ltuve been 111 active dally discharge of tile duties of my office, and have be come fully aware of the Ineffi ciency of the City Government and the petty, widespread misuse of official positions thak has been Indulged in, to the pecuniary ben efit of officeholders. This has reached the point where the In terests of the taxpayers Impera tively demand that a radical change should be made in the City Government, and that such conditions and restrictions should, by law, be imposed upon the rep resentatives of tite public as will insure a disinterested discharge of their duties, freed from con flicting personal interests. “Intend to Whitewash You." To neither of you do 1 bear any personal malice, and 1 do not mean, by the charges against you, to even remotely suggest that you alone are guilty. I am fully aware of the fact ' that some of the members of Council intend to whitewash your conduct and exonerate you from all blame; and 1 do not expect to obtain in this matter an lmpar- ttaf verdict upon these charges. And yet. many Council men know, 1 know and you know, that you are guilty, unqualifiedly and absolutely, of each charge Just as It has been made by me. So gen eral is the knowledge by the pub lic that these charges *re true, that I doubt whether you will even deny them. 1 am making them, not out of perosnal malice nor from a de sire to specifically injure you or either of you. but because 1 be lieve it to be my duty as a public official to render an account of my stewardship to the city of Atlanta and to inform it of tile methods, means and ways that permeate many branches of tint city government, to the detriment and injury of the public. This is a great city; it call be made a very much greater city. The time has come when vast Im provements must be entered upon along definite, permanent, sub stantial lines in order that the fu ture of the city may be properly fulfilled. And I realize that this end can never be accomplished until there Is some manner of fair return given the taxpayers for their taxes and bond money Inefficiency and waste must lie stopped or the growth of the town will be stopped; and 1 am sacrificing myself and my health In obedience to w-fiat I believe to be the public good. It is my purpose to <?ee that, business pol iticians shall no longer misman age the public affairs or grow fat unon public office. Wants Genuine Trial. As the investigation by the ommlttee will be incomplete. I ,ugg«st to you that we arrange r a genuine trial of this Issue, that these charges which 1 fctbis day made against you Beu into a duly constituted ani Ll-iwui theee it u A 1 LDERMAN -I. W. MADDOX, one of the three members of Ootineil against whom charffes were made yesterdny by Alderman .John K. McClelland. Mr. Maddox was vigorous in his denunciation of the charge, which lie termed "an infamous lie. The two others accused declined to discuss charges tally. the orderly tribunal appoint! by the State. I Invite you to sue me for libel. I invite you to take a warrant for criminal libel. 1 will acknowl edge service, waive process and consent that the case shall be docketed and tried at the May term of the court, 1 agree, in advam-e, thta when you do thus sue, I will tile a plea of justifica tion, admitting that the charges were made and asserting that they are true. This will give me the opportunity to take you and the necessary witnesses before a sworn commissioner appointed by the judge of the Superior Court and to examine you and my wit nesses under the due forms and rules of the law. It will give both to me and to you the right to force the production of books and other documents, and we can have a fair, impartial speedy trial by a competent, disinter ested judge, and by a jury thut will be your peers — whoever they are. It will be no idle suit, i pay taxes upon real estate that stands in my name, far in excess of any Judgment that you may either severally or jointly obtain against me. I urge you to take thip course. It is a fair course; it is one which will result in a verdict the public will trust. It is one un der which 1 can demonstrate the truth of my charges. 1 invite vou to leave the sheltering arms of some of your co-members. I invite you to get out where the public press can see you; where the investigation will be beyond suspicion; where the result will definitely determine whether I have defamed you or whether you have defamed the city and be trayed the trust the public im posed upon you. Come Into Court. r^me you, with me. speedily to the court house. 1 have no personal or melflsh in terest to enhance. My sole object is to discharge what appears to me to be an imperative obligation due to the city. So far as the Insinuated charges against me are concerned, you know as well as I do that there is no truth in them; and you further know, just as 1 know, that wme one made them for the purpose of attempting to prevent me from filing and prosecuting the charges which l have made. So far as these charges are concerned against me. you and Council may deal with them just us you see fit, when you see fit and where you see fit. The threat ened scandalous lies that are be ing circulated by some on the streets to-day do not deter me; you are guilty of everything I charge and recommendations will not make you less guilty, nor w ill it in any manner coerce me. I expect many rumors—man\ charges, but J will sacrifice for the time being any hareh results that may come from them. In or der that the public may become acquainted with their servants. I have an abiding faith in the ••truth.” and if “crushed to earth, will rise again in its might and power.” In conclusion, will say that I do not propose to appear as prosecu tor of anv charges against you before Council or committee My charges are on tile; the evidence ia easily accessible. With this 1 wash my hands of the whole af fair; however, standing ready to answer anywhere any charge that may be brought against me. It f saLie, SaysMaddox; Two Others Reticent Only One of Accused Officials Talks Freely of Charges Made by Alderrtian McClelland. Immediately after tlie* McClelland charges were made public, Sunday American reporters sought tin* three officials involved and told them the substance of the accusations. Of the three, Alderman Maddox alone would reply to any extent, enlarging con siderably on the declaration that the McClelland statement was ‘‘an in famous lie. deliberate and premedi tated ” Threats of counter charges were freely made. Alderman K. .1. Spratling, accused of borrowing money from near-beer dealers, wrote out this statement: • l have nothing to say until the investigating committee meets.” The situation grew more acute with the refusal of two members of the investigating committee to serve. They are f.mnciltnen A. R. Colcor<J th e detective wh and S. S. Shepard. Mayor Fro Tern .lames K. Warren had announced that he would formally appoint them Mon day. The other three members, John S. (‘andler. chairman, and Council- men Jesse M. Wood and George H. Boynton, have tacitly agreed to serve, it is understood. Councilman Colcord gave as the reason for his refusal the fact that he is a neighbor of Alderman Spratling. Councilman Shepard is a new mem ber and very much averse to acting in the capacity of a prober. Alderman Maddox was furious when told that he had been specifical ly named. Maddox Is Furious. ”1 had excavation contracts with Chester A. Dady, the city sewage disposal plant contractor,” i.e said, davits have been secured proving that Eva Clark, a woman who wan run out of town for operating a dis orderly house, paid Alderman Mc Clelland $100 as her attorney. 1 have heard of a charge regarding a locker club, but don’t know just what his home last night, refused to take the charges very seriously. ”1 don’t think I’l pay much at- f* ntion to Mr, McClelland’s charges,” he said casually. “1 guees 1 can take care of myself when the investi gation comes along.” He refused to discuss specifically any of the accusations. Mayor Woodward said last night he had read a copy of Alderman Model land’s charges and he did not see what the accused Aldermen could do. “Alderman McClelland invites them to take the matter up in court, and that’s what ought to be done,” he said. “They < an’t deny the charges. In court there would be no chance of a whitewash.” Thomson Says Mayor Must ‘Prove His Statements Before Council or Quit His Four-Flushing.’ Councilman Albert Thomson, in talking to a Sunday American report er, denounced Mayor Woodward for the persistent criticism of Council. Thomson offered the resolution in Council caJling for an investigation of charges of corruption in Council, made by various persons, and to the reporter last night Thomson said Woodward would be called before the Cardinal Will Ask Old Friend to Retract Criticism of Catholic Faith as Superstition. BALTIMORE, ML),, April 19.— When part of the speech of Sir Wil- tiam Osier, at the dedicatory exercises of the Phipps Psychiatric clinic of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, was read to Cardinal Gibbons the prelate exclaimed: “I am shocked!” Sir William, who is professor of medicine in Oxford University, said, Graft Fear Killed Inauguration Ball President Wilson’s Sister, in Paris, Tells Real Reason Why Func tion Was Not Held. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, April 19. —President Wil* ! son’s reason for withholding his ap proval of an inaugural ball was that he had discovered the tremendous graft which had attended all the pre vious functions. This was the state ment made here to-day by Mrs. Anna Wilson Howe, of Philadelphia, sis ter of the President. “My brother’s real reason for not giving an inaugural ball this year was that he wished to do away en tirely with the enormous petty graft which has always been connected with this affair,” said Mrs. Howe. “Practically the only persons who complained about the lack of the ball were the ones who expected to make money out of function.” investigating committee “to prove the j in part: that will b McClelland Defies Them. Alderman McClelland said he was informed of both charges and that he was prepared with affidavits to refute them. “Let them come out in the open, as I have done,” he said. “1 have an affidavit that absolutely disproves that locker club story.” He has already admitted accepting $100 from the Clark woman, Kating that she told him she had reformed to insure her from being disturbed while “Also 1 have a copy of a letter here written by City Attorney James L. May son to ex-Mayor Winn stating that 1 was not doing anything illegal. McClelland’s charges are written lies all lies.” “You can’t express my indignation too strongly “There will be counter-charges against Alderman McClelland. Affi- living within the pale of the law. Ragsdale Not Afraid. Reynolds Says Fire Department Charges Will Bring Trial. Thomas H. Reynolds, of Baltimore, has been Working on the fire probe case for the past three weeks, said last night that Mayor James G. Woodward would call the attention of the Grand Jury to evidence which, he asserted, nad been unearthed, and that the Chief Executive of the city would ask for indictments against Fire Chief W. B. Cummings. James J. Rafter, P. O Hebert and J. L. Blount, fire hose agents. Mayor Woodward refused either to deny or affirm Reynolds' statement. “I’m not talking.” he said. “There has been too much said now; so much that 1 hear some of them have been run out of town.” The Mayor was reminded that Raf ter has gone to New York. ”1 guess 1 can got him when T want him,” was the Mayor’s only com ment. Reynolds last night declared that he is conducting his investigation in Atlanta for the purpose of breaking up the alleged fire trust, which, he says, comprises the Eureka Fife Hose Company, the Fabric Fire Hose Com pany and other concerns. He re fused. however, to disclose his identi ty or by whom he is employed. Would Indict Chief. According to Reynolds, Rafter, Blount and Hebert will face charges of perjury, while an indictment will be asked against Chief Cummings for incompetency and for using his office as a means of bringing business to the fire trust. Reynolds declared also that if he is successful in locating evidence he is noV after, charges of graft will be preferred against the Fire Chief. These charges, he says, will be based on the statements made by R. E. Davidson that he gave the Chi«f $400. Reynolds says he expects to produce a check, when the hearing is held, that will show conclusively Davidson gave Cummings the money. Reynolds declared positively last night that he has obtained two con i’* sbions of alleged irregularities in Chief Cummings’ office. One of these confessions, he said, was made by Rafter. He refused to disclose the name of the other ffian who he said statement that he could buy a major ity of Council or quit his four-flush ing.” “The Mayor has been defaming Council for months,” continued Thomson. “He has created intense prejudice among many people against us. While his attacks have been general, I feel it my duty as an in dividual member to reply to him. Were Willing to Help. ‘True, a majority of the members were opposed to him for Mayor, but there was hardly a man who was not willing to co-operate with him for the success of his administration. “His reply to this attitude was an insult to the whole Council, and a scathing attack on past Councils, the administration of ex-Mayor Robert F. Maddox and ex-Mayor Courtland S. Winn. If not directly, certainly by innuendo he endeavored to brand us with dishonesty. On top of that he violated his oath of office by favor itism in committee appointments. “The most important sewer work for the year were the McDaniel Street and the Highland Avenue and Butler Street sewers, in the Second. Fourth and Eighth Wards. “No representatives from these wards were put on the Sewer Com mittee. ‘Not a member of last year’s Sew er Committee, when this work was outlined, was reappointed. I don’t J know whether his fight against the fforts of last year’s* committee to run a sewer through the A. B. and A. property, of which he is the hired agent, had anything to do with this fact or not. Charges Favoriteism. ‘He overloaded his friends with committee work and left many it the members of Council with prac tically nothing to do. “1 am reliably informed that lie tried to trade committee appoint ments for votes against the crema tory. But I am glad to .say a ma jority of Council was too high-mind ed to stand for such a trick. “He han been Grading against mor al obligations all the year, but he approved the Peachtree Street widen ing plan, a moral obligation. “Too poor a sport to know when he is whipped, he still endeavors to delay the work on the crematory, endangering health and life to carry his point. “I am reliably informed he ha lobbied for locker club permits re jected by Council. He undertakes to give permits violating the laws of the State whenever he chooses, as the movement to get Sunday motion pictures will recall. “He delayed the purchase of that fire engine for the new Tenth Ward station. How bad it was* needed was shown by the recent fires there. One of tile home owners blamed the city for his loss because of a lack of pro tection. “Not only has* he endeavored to discredit the Fire Department Probe Committee’s report before the report is made, but he seeks to dishonor the councilmanic investigation com mittee before the committee is ap pointed. “He Has Hurt the Town.” “Aside from the merits of the new charter—and 1 am perfectly willing to give any man the right of his opinion—the presumption of the Mayor in trying to he the whole show and discredit everybody and every thing else has hurt the town and failed to help his cause. “He has so antagonized Council that there are not half a dozen mem bers who will go to his office except when absolutely necessary. His con versation is so low and dirty that many dread to go about him. “He has done nothing but tear down. • After sixteen months’ experience in Council I am glad to be able to say that its membership as a whole is a body of men earnestly striving for the best interests of the city. •They will do their duty as they see it. including a probe to the bot tom of all the alleged graft scandals. “They would even yet co-operate with Mayor Woodward in carrying on the business of the city if he would cut out his four-flushing and petty politics.” Bryce’s Successor Sails for America Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice Expect ed to Relieve British Ambas sador at Once. .LONDON. April 19.—Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice, successor to James Bryce, as British Ambassador to the cent of our fel- | United States, sailed to-day for New York, en route for Washington. This indicates Sir Cecil will relieve Mr. Bryce at once. When his resignation was an nounced on November 11 last, Mr. Bryce said that he would remain indefinitely at Washington. It was supposed this course was taken be cause of the delicate negotiations then going on relative to the Panama Canal tolls matter.

CHICAGO, April 19.—“Conditions which we will reveal in our next ses sion will shock the whole United | States,” said Lieutenant Governor Countess Szechenyi, Once Gladys Vanderbilt, Leaves Hungary to Make Home in London. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, April l!i. -Countess Szo- chenyi, who was Miss Gladys Van derbilt, has come to this city to make her permanent home. She is accom panied by the Count Szechenyi and their two children. Only their intimate friends know whether he is here in the hope of in ducing his wife to change her plans and return to Vienna or because lie has expatriated himself for love of her and their children. It is believed by their close friends that Countess Szechenyi has become disheartened in her efforts to gain and maintain entree to the inner circle of the Aus trian court, after a five-year cam paign. In any event, it is evident that the romance of the little American girl, who gained the title of countess by her wedding and who had ambitious ly declared that she would take the place to which her rank entitled her, has ended otherwise than she planned. The millions of the Vanderbilts, spent lavishly in charities and enter tainments in Hungary and Austria, have failed to gain the long sought goal. It is true that the Countess Szechenyi was presented to Emperor Francis Joseph and the archdukes and archduchesses, hut not in Vien- j na. The presentation took place in j Budapest, the Hungarian capital, and j was due to an understanding exact ed by Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt be- i fore she consented to the wedding that her daughter should be pre sented to the Emperor. At that, it took three years before the red tape and exacting formalities of the Budapest court were complied with, and the countess felt, despite the advice of her friends, that she had taken a long stride toward en tering the inner circles of the Vienna court. She has now discovered that she did not gain the stamp of highest so- overthrown by new discoveries. His whole doctrine is based on theory. "Fifty years ago the scientists of that day imagined they knew all that was to be known of medicine; yet to day their conclusions are overthrown by later discoveries. "The Catholic Church is not found ed on theory, and whereas the whole world is informed of its doctrines, the conclusions of Dr. Osier are known to comparatively few. The world at present is alarmed by the condition of the head of the church, and changes in his health are of great interest— more, perhaps, than that of any scientist whom we know now.” Dr. Osier Perturbed. Dr. Osier, when informed that the Cardinal regarded his reported ut terances as an attack on Christianity, appeared to be greatly disturbed. “I am no enemy of the saints," he declared. “1 will talk to my friend the Cardinal about this as soon as I get back from New Haven." Sir William made it clear that he regretted the exception taken by the Cardinal to his remarks, and thut he intends to see the Cardinal about it. He mentioned the Cardinal's name in a way that indicated that his feel ings toward the Prelate are kindly and that he is eager to have an op portunity to settle the difference by a heart-to-heart talk. COMMONS WOULD ABOLISH CENSORSHIP OF PLAYS Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, April 19.—The House of Commons has unanimously adopted a motion in favor of abolishing the cen- sonship on stage plays.
