hose during the last two
administration of 1905 and 1906 as he
did the four years previous, and all of
that hose carried a five-year guaran
tee. Therefore, the department was in
good shape and should have been re
lieved of buying considerable hose.
"On the other hand, if he had not
been thus mindful he could have gon 1
along and purchased the usual amount
of hose and have forced the earlier
years of the Cummings administrati >n
to have bought more. It can not be
said that the brand of host* that Chi* f
Joyner bought was not as good as the
hose that had been bought since, ac
cording to the reports of the Fire L)c
partment, as th»re is nearly 6.000 feet
of the hose still in service that wa-i
bought during the Joyner term.
Touches on Guarantees.
“The statement in the committee's
report that there had been two new
fire stations installed during Chi f
Cummings administration is ofTset by
the fact that there were two new sta
tions installed during the six years of
the Joyner administration The com
mittee state? that during the past six
years there has n.-in a superior quali
ty of hose bought. If that he tru rt
why should it not carry a better guar
antee, whVn, In fact, the guarantee has
been decreased from five years to
three years. This evidently does not
verify the statement that the hose w,n
superior to that bought previous to
that time.
“Another plain and evident fact w.’.s
presented to the committee, anil is of
record yet—that the city s lould have
saved $240 on one transaction that
was made the first part of this year
but which has not oeen paid yet. Un*
der the old order of things, the Chief
had purchased 2,000 feet Ct Ft: re it a
hose at $1 per foot.
“When the matter came to my t-
tention, I requested Mr. \\ *st to get
bids on that class of hose. He did so,
and the bid was 10 cents per foot
less, with a 2 per cent discount if paid
within ten days. This was a saving
to the city of Atlanta, upon the same
class of hose, of $240. This one trans
action alone should be plain eviden ce
that the city should have been re
ceiving these kinds of prices for he
past six years, if the system of com
petitive bids had been carried out.
.Such transactions as this denote a
woeful lack of business methods.
Believes Davidson’s Charge.
"Another very grave question that
tame before the investigating com
mittee was the fact that It. bi. Dav
idson gave evidence on the witness
stand that he had made Chief. Cum
mings a present of $400. There was
no one to deny this but Chief Cum
mings himself. I am candid to state
that I absolutely believe every word
that Mr. Davidson uttered in this re
gard. The only question in my mind
is as to whether it was a present or
a direct trade, as the records of the
city and bank deposits denote the
latter.
The committee, if it had desired,
cbuld have investigated the records
in the Comptroller's office. It would
have found that on April 22. 1912,
after No. 12 engine bail been bought
the past October, that a voucher was
drawn for $9,000 and that a warrant
was drawn also on the same day to
pay that voucher; that the $9,000
warrant was deposited in the bank on
April 24, 1912. and that Mr. David-
sun drew his personal check for $400
on April 25, 1912.
“This is borne out bv the check
that was presented in evidence and
by the stub book from which the
check w r as drawn and both appear
ing on the 25th day of April, 1912. It
will be seen by this that there was
only three days in which the finan
cial part of the transaction was con
summated. Tills certainly bears the
earmarks of a transaction that was
to be settled up us soon as the engine
was paid for
Also Alleges Perjury.
"in conclusion, it further appears,
from reading the report of the com
mittee, that they ar* inclined to dis
credit nearly all the evidence that
was given at their hearings that tend
ed to cast refiuection upon the man
ner in which the business of the cit>
had been carried on in the fire de
partment. both by the Board of Fire
Masters and the Chief of that depart-

more, that appeared on that side of
the case

“1 desire to emphatically state that
there is not one word of this whole
transaction intended to offend any
one, but 1 consider it my duty in the

her hair is white, and she thinks the
task of opening a new home will be
too great.
The Hell House is a boarding house
with a mission. For thirty-eight
years it has been an institution in
the life of the young men of Atlanta,
to many of whom it lias been the
only home they know in this city.
Mrs. Bell white-haired, cheery, in
dulgent, is its missionary, who has
devoted her life to making the lives
of "her boys” attractive.
“The mother of Atlanta’s bache
lors.” is the title she has won.
Mrs. Hell's “boys” include some of
Atlanta’s first business men. Men
coming to the city to seek their for
tunes, but still they stayed on. Some
of them failed. There was more
reason that they should stay.
Cuisine Always Excellent.
The cuisine always is excellent. The

Is attractive. The parlors in which
they lounge at meal time are verita
ble club rooms, with card tables,
worn and comfortable divans and
arm chairs, pipe racks, and all that is
necessary to a paradise of bachelors.
And then, there is Mrs. Bell.
With these bids for popularity the
house prospered. All the "boys ’
came that could be Accommodated,
and others were content to take their
places on the waiting list.
“The places are filled by succes

sentiment that invests the Bell House"
does not make it proof against de
struction.
There is sentiment enough there,
thanks to Mrs. Bell. Sentiment has
been her life. It was the force that
moved her not long ago, when the
forces of modern Atlanta went to
work and made Peachtree a different
street, with all their grading and
cutting. Somehow, maybe by over
sight, they left standing one of the
old lamp posts.
Mrs. Bell found it, and brought it
into her own yard.
"There was a sentiment about the
dear old thing,” she said yesterday,
“that attracted me.”
It was a sentiment something akiu
to this that has made her work prac
tically since her youth for young men
w ho are alone and unattached in At
lanta.
Modestly, she talks of everything
about the house except her part in
it.
“I don't think my life has been
wasted.” is about all she would say
of herself.
Though she did not say it, her
"boys” told of men who have been
reformed and ^generated through
the influence of her house, and of
men who have been refined by ex
periencing daily conversation and as
sociation with the gentle, motherly
aristocrat that Mrs. Bell is.
Long ago. when she opened first
her boarding house, Mrs. Bell took
men and women too. But that was
long ago.
“There was a real mission In tak
ing care of the boys,” she said. Then
she laughed.
“And they are less trouble, worlds
less trouble,” she continued. It was
not long before the Bell House was
exclusively for men. and usually
young men. and bachelors.
Mgs Bell’s only competitor in At
lanta i< marriage. She admits that,
and laughingly declares that there is
no rivalry between them.
Maybe she is the secret ally of her
competitor. At any rate, her "boys”
have said that, by the force of her
own love and tenderness, she makes
men tenderer and better companions.

.LONGSTREET
Letters Addressed to Senators
and Representatives by Gaines
ville Postmistress.
J.
Paul No:
Weltner.
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet. of Gainesville,
Ga., to-day finished her preparations
for a last stand in her fight for reap
pointment as postmaster in her home
town.
Mrs. Longstreet has directed letters
of appeal for aid to several Senators
and also to Postmaster General
Burleson.
In this latter epistle, which is on
file with the Senate Committee on
Postoffices and Post roads, Mrs. Long
street has made startling accusations
against Congressmen Bell and A. S.
Hardy, the choice of Mr. Bell for post
master.
"My application for reappointment
as postmaster at Gainesville was
wired shortly after the notable night
on which Mr. A S. Hardy led a drunk
en mob to my house in celebration of
President Wilson's election, singing
so boisterously as to awaken people
living along the line of march.” read
the letter in part. “Principally among
the words they rang were: We wil'
hang Helen D. on a sour apple tree.' ”
In answer to the letter’s accusations
Representative Bell made this reply:
“It is entirely in keeping with Mr.
Hardy's record that he engaged in
celebrating the Democratic victory.
In my opinion he had more to do as
chairman of the Ninth District in
reclaiming the district and changing
a Republican majority of 900 four
years ago to a Democratic plurality
of about 3.000 last year, than any
other man in his district.”
Mr. Bell declined to comment on
Mrs. Longstreet’s fight to hold her
office, or on the failure of Mr Hardy
to receive the appointment.
Mrs. Longstreet. when she goes be
fore the Senate committee on Mon
day. will make a strong fight against
the confirmation of Mrs. H. W. J. Ham
for the Gainesville position. She has
also framed a strenuous reply to
charges that the office during her ad
ministration had not properly been
conducted.
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Attacks
i the income tax provision of the
Underwood tariff bill were made be
fore the sub-committee of the Senate
Finance Committee which is handling
this part of the measure with Sena
tor Williams as chairman.
The public was admitted to the sub
committee session. Open hearings,
however, will not be held by the full
finance committee.
T. W. Blackburn, of Omaha, sec
retary of the American Association
of Insurance Companies, asserted that
the bill, even as amended in the
House, will cause double, and in
some instances, triple taxation be
cause it will levy on dividends and
policies payable during life. Alfred
Thom, general counsel for the South
ern Railway, als6 objected to the in
come tax.
An appeal was made by the Cigai;
Makers’ Union to limit tije importa
tion of Phillipine cigars to 75,000,000
a year.
Philippine Free Trade.
Senator Williams said that the Fil
ipinos are entitled to free trade with
the United States, as the islands re
main part of this country and that
the best way for the American cigar
makers to solve the problem was to
“get rid” of the islands.
California fruit growers, who came
to Washington to light for a higher
duty than one-half of l cent per
pound on lemons, to-day faced the
prospect of a campaign against free
lemons. A number of briefs demand
ing the removal of all the duty on this
fruit have been filed with the sub
committee, but this matter has not
been taken up by Senator Wijliartn?
and his colleagues.
It has been determined by the sub
committee to ask for a change In the
cotton schedule to provide a more de
tailed classification for the more ex
pensive. grades coming under thin
schedule. Indications were also that
all cotton dyes except indigo will be
placed on the free list by the commit
tee.
Witnesses Heard.
The stub-committee in charge of the
administrative features of the bill
heard Assistant Attorney General
Dennison and Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Curtis. They advocated
a plan to permit the Secretary of the
Treasury to proclaim the value of im
ported merchandise with the aid of a
general board of examiner's.. Tins
would do a way with the present board
of appraisers.
The sub-comrnittee will continue
their work at 10 o’clock Monday
morning and expect to be in sessi m
continuously for txvo weeks. Their
recommendations then will be made
to the full committee and the bill re
ported to ttye Bebaie.
Church Asleep,
Lecturer Says
Dr. John Elliott Explains Why It
Fails to Reach People—To
Speak Here Thursday.
Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott, the sixth
and last lecturer brought to Atlanta
for the 1912-13 series by the com
mittee for ethical lectures, will ap
pear at Cable Hall Thursday evening,
delivering his lecture recently de
livered at Carnegie Hall, New York,
on “The Driving Power of Social
Discontent."
Following his lecture Thursday
evening an informal supper will be
tendered Dr. Elliott by the members
of the executive committee at the
Georgian Terrace. Friday morning he
'will be taken for an automobile ride.
The lecture at Cable Hall, which
is free to the public, will be based
on Dr. Elliott's fifteen years of pub
lic life as associate with Dr. Felix
Adler, of the New York Society fo
Ethlcgl Culture, and as headworker
I of Hudson Guild, the “Hull House”
of New York.
Writing of social conditions. Dr.
Elliott says:
“I believe the reason the church
with all its power and its wonderful
history, affects social conditions com
paratively so little is this: It lacks
faith. The church, as religious his
tory often proves, is looking toward
the' past and not enough to the pres
ent nor toward the future. Thp
churches somehow do not get hold
of the people. I have often heard
Miss Jane Addams say that the time
has gone by when the religious peo
ple said, ‘Learn to walk humbly with
God.’ She says. ‘Learn to walk hum
bly with the poor.' ”

ST. LOUIS, May 17.—The various
subsidiary boards of the Southern
Baptist ~ Convention were renewed
w ith the re-election of a majority of
the 192 officers and members at to
day's session of the convention in the
Third Baptist Church. Tlje day was
marked by several radical proposals
regarding the Sunday school lesson
leaflet and other matters of unusual
interest to delegates and their con
stituents.- A movement for the estab
lishment of an educational board by
the <*onvtntion was started,* but will
not receive definite action until next
year. * - (
In an attack on the Sunday school
lesson leaflet prepared by the Inter
national Lessens Committee, repre
senting sixteen Protestant denomina
tions, speakers .at to-day’s session
jtirged the withdrawal of the Baptists
from the committee and the publica
tion of their own individual Sunday
school lessons.
Report by Dr. Dargan.
The discussion opened with the re
port of a special- committee on the
“International Lessons” made by Dr.
E. C. Dargan, of Macon, chairman, in
which the change was recommended,
with the proviso that’the matter be
studied thoroughly arid complete rec
ommendations made at the next an
nual meeting.
The Kentucky delegation took jp
the attack. Rev. J. M. Frost, of.Louis
ville, announced that the question had
been thrashed out in the State con
vention of Kentucky and that ;
memorial had been sent to the par
ent organization, Which comprises
eighteen States. He introduced Rev.
Dr. Tull, of Paducah, as having been
designated by the State convention
to deliver the memorial.
Three Pertinent Questions.
Dr. Tull opened his address by
presenting these three questions:
“Shall the Baptists concede that
non-denominational committee can do
for them so vital a service better
than themselves?
“Shall the Baptists say it is bett
for Baptists for a non-denominational
committee to select their Sunday
school texts, which are so vital in the
upbringing of children, when th;
would not hear them on any other
matter of denominational interest
“Shall the Baptists say that their
obligations to others are greater than
their obligations to themselves?”
Dr. Tuil declared the question
Sunday school leaflets the indst vital
of denominational issues.
“If the Baptists are not willing to
concede these thing**,.” said the
speaker in answering his questions,
“by what process of reasoning can
they justify the commission for co
operation?”
“Failures” of Lessons.
Dr. Tull then proceeded to point
out what he termed the failures of
the “international lessons.”
“The present system has proven
by results to be docirinally inade
quate. It does not enlighten the pu
pil. It is uninteresting to personal
study. It has no intellectual incen
tives. It gives no place for test of
Bible scholarship. It affords no uni
formity of doctrine. It is to blame
for mosN Sunday school problems
such as attendance, interest and dig
nity. It does not make great teach
ers. It lack*-' teaching matter and it
lacks system.”
Dr. Tull then called for defenders
of the international lessons.
Defense of Committee.
Dr. R. J. Sampey, the representa
tive of the Baptists on the interna
tional committee, responded. After
declaring that the denominational as
sociations made for love, friendship
and co-operation of all the churches,
and that more could be accomplish
ed by love and fellowship than by
throwing stones, he asked the dele
gates if they were afraid to study all
the Bible.
“if we are going to confine our
selves strictly to those portions of the
Bible upon which our beliefs are par
ticularly based, then you will draw
for your lessons from Isaiah and Paul,’
he declared.
Reform Urged in
Teaching of Bible
Report to Northern Assembly Calls
Present System of Instruction
Futile and Inadequate.
Sweeping criticism was passed
upon the educational methods of the
Presbyterian Church at the morning
session of the Northern Assembly.
A thorough readjustment and
reconstruction of Biblical instruc
tion and training was advocated. The
report said:
“Those who have concern for the
religious character of our youth must
be impressed with the inadequacy of
the results of our present educational
efforts. The output of our educa
tional activity is not satisfactory
either in quality or quantity. Our
children do not know the Bible, are
not acquainted with Christian truth,
are not interested in the things of
the Christian life, nor are they dis
posed toward reverence and worship
of God, as we have a right to expect
from a competent educational system.
Youth Not Condemned.
“This is not a sweeping condemna
tion of our young people, large num
bers of whom are devout and devoted
Christians, nor is it a lament that we
have fallen up9n evil times, for possi
bly the former days were no better,
nor is it a pessimistic viqw of a situ
ation in which there is much to en
courage and cheer us. It is. how
ever, an indictment of our present
educational methods and work. Our
machinery has broken down at cer
tain vital points and is not getting
