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.

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- men. when, in fact, absolute perjury can be proven on one witness, if not more, that appeared on that side of the case “All of the statements that are made in this communication cun be verified by evidence and records, and if it should be the desir** of the Grand Jury to handle this matter, the same shall be furnished them “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 transaction of that business of my office to let the people know how their business is being carried on. and I further regard any man that would allow bis personal feelings to enter into his public work an unsafe man to nerve the public “Respect f ill!

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 comraderic of the fifty-five “boys," 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 sion Mrs. Bell explained yesterday. “Marriage or death takes the boys away, and others come in then.” Marriage, death, or removal from the city probably are the only rea ms \\'h> her “boys" have left. ever, rstmlly they become parts of the in stitution. i F.

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.

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.' ” Vassar Girls Catch Colds at Tree Dance Filmiest Clothing Worn at Night Event on Rain-Soaked Campus, as Per Custom.

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.

An energetic campaign for mem bership has been inaugurated by the Baraca-Philathea Social Union, of the Gordon Street Baptist Church.
