Public business In Atlanta hereafter will be done on a cash basis. It mat ters not whether the project Involves the purchase of a new administration building, the remodelling of an old one or the repairing of a street—it must be paid for within the year. The crematory controversy- resulted In a ruling to this effect by the Su preme Court and Council has taken the edict as Anal. The only exception to the cash pro gram is found in the Issuance of bonds and bond issues are so hedged about with constitutional limitations that they will be few. Except cases of bond Issue, every contract Atlanta makes for purchasing or improving must be paid for out of the revenues of the year in which the contract and appropriations are made. Recognition of this principle actu ated members of Council in contract ing for the crematory and appropriat ing the whole of the $260,000 purchase money out of the revenues of 1913. Alderman John S. Candler, once a member of the Supreme Court, said to Council: "The question has been put square ly up to the courts, and the courts have decided that public improve ments must be paid for out of the revenues of the current year A bond issue Is almost impossible, and we might as well make up our minds right now that hereafter Atlanta will do business on a cash basis." Mayor Well Pleased. Mayor Woodward was Jubilant over Council’s realization of the cash rule necessity. "I hope this will be the lart of purchasing by moral obligation,’’ be said. “With the income she has, At lanta can live on a cash basis, Just like other business Institutions, and not stand still.” Judge Candler expressed doubt about the ability of the city to pro ceed with public improvements indefl nltely on money actually In hand "Few business houses operate on cash alone,” he said. ‘‘But we’ve got to do it, and we might as well make up our minds.” Despite the difficulty of getting a bond Issue approved, leaders are pre paring to raise money by that ineth- ed. Judge Candler himself, fully cog. ntzant of the legal difficulties to be encountered, is one of the advocates of a bond issue. The crematory will cost $260,000, and contemplated improvements will have to be neglected to make the pur chase. It Is the only woy to get the money. The last budget of the Gen eral Council appropriated $126,000 for the crematory. The new budget, it is expected, will show a surplus reve nue of approximately $76,000. This will help some toward the crematory purchase, but even then there are other improvements dependent on this estimated surplus, and these undoubt edly will have to go by the board. The remaining $60,000 for the cre matory. every bit of it, must be with held from various city departments. Roads and streets will suffer in the opinion of many. The street commit tee had perfected plans with Fulton County to break all records for road work. The city was to furnish the material and the county do the work. Orville H. Hall, chairman of the Street Committee, announced that the purchase of the crematory would ob struct this program, because the city could not buy the materials and the county therefore could not do the work. Atlanta's most ambitious street and road improvement project must go by the boards. Other Projects Abandoned. Small amounts will be withheld from the following projects: White hall Street regrading, calling for $30,- 000; Dargan Place Park, $7,500; widening Peachtree, $5,000; three new schools. $125,000; repairing Ninth Ward schools. $10,000; Forsyth and Hunter streets grading. $6,500. Some of these contemplated public works will be entirely abandoned; estimates for practically all the others will be cut. ‘‘But,*’ said Chairman Hall, of the Streets Committee, "we must get the crematory. I opposed it. and I op posed tearing down the old one; but now- the lives of our people mu«rt be safeguarded. Some of the work I ex pected last year was passed over, and I know I must give up hope for other work this year. But It can’t be helped. We must have the crematory, and it must be paid for. and this is the only •way to get it.” Want Ads Bring the n«r Georf to us supe Results The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON Hearst's Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian PONY CONTEST VOTE COUPON, TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1913 5 VOTES NOT GOOD AFTER JUNE 18, 1913.

Effects of Failure Felt in Many Lines SAVANNAH, GA., June 3.—The disastrous effects of . the recent fail ure of the American Naval Stores Company are just beginning to be felt. The resultant embarrassment Is permeating all lines of Industry- Money stringency Is becoming acute among all dealers In naval stores products. It is felt even among the laborers in the turpentine camps, whose employers are facing a prob lem In meeting their weekly payrolls. The producers are calling on their factors for assistance. The factors, with the output of the producers on their hands, and no market for the product, with insurance to carry on vast and daily increasing receipts, and storage and demurrage charges to pay, are themselves being forced to call on the banks for aid. The banks, in view of the unsatisfactory condi tion of the market, are unwilling to lend. Business, therefore, is measured in large proportion by the amount of money in sight.

"My very sincere opinion- is that moving pictures are «a rather ordi nary and cheap demonstration of pic torial art associated with' the dra matic art. The pictures are like in different stories illustrated by bad pictures. The show is amusing for five minutes, but in no way does it take the place of art. "I think moving pictures will be very prosperous, but they will ever remain second class.” » ¥ * Asked her views on the latest dances, the Tango and the Turkey Trot, she said: "These dances are abominable, re volting and improper. I can not un derstand how any one could permit such insanities to take place in tb»• ir drawing rooms, yet not only do they permit thorn, but young girls of re spectable families assemble together to learn those dances. "The mothers are at fault. They should never permit such exhibitions. And why do they do it? They keep a young girl away from immoral sur roundings. choose her books, hide from her newspapers reporting ques tionable divorces or passionate crimes. “They keep a watch on her friend ships. they do everything in the world to keep her mind from being sullit d. yet they let her, not only see. but actually take part in. a spectacle which is. more than any other, stripped bare of all modesty and de cency. "I have heard particular people se verely condemn the waltz when 1 was a girl. What would'they say to-day?” What Rockefeller, Jr., Might Do. Of Rockefeller she said: "Monsieur Rockefeller, Jr., thinks that even if one does try to protect poor girls there are many who would still become of questionable character through idleness. *'I do not agree with Monsieur Rockefeller. Jr. I really think tr. it unhappiness and poverty drive many wretched girls to vice. Hut 1 am persuaded that, if means to earn a livelihood were procured for p *ar girls, all of them would joyfully ac cept work. "And yet. one can not complain in America, for there are many less such women here than in France. Work is well rewarded, and the hours of .work are ten times less heavy than in my country. Here the shops open late and close early. The girls in the stores take things easily: they chat among themselves and reply to cus tomers when it suits them. In France the poor shopgirls are treated like slaves. "Oh! if Mr. Rockefeller.

ENRICO CARUSI IS American Accuses Noted Singer of Ogling a Woman in a London Hotel. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON. June 3.—Enrico Caruso was one of the actors in a scene which has stirred the Savoy Hotel. There was no sequel in a police court, though fisticuffs barely were avoided. The foyer of the hotel at the moment was filled with departing supper guests. It appears that Caruso annoyed an American, who has been a resident of London for the last few years, by ogling a woman whom the American was escorting. Caruso is said to have called the attention of his secretary. Weber, to the woman in such fashion as to make his notice of her conspic uous. In any case, the American took umbrage, and. stepping up to the tenor, told him in a voice heard all over the foyer that he should be ashamed of himself so to direct atten tion to any gentlewoman. "I am Caruso,” replied the tenor. "I do what I like.” The American thereupon advanced on Caruso threateningly. The tenor beat a hasty retreat, taking refuge in an elevator Secretary Weber, being more pug nacious, took the American by the shoulder and said: “If you weren’t an old man I would knock your head off!” This insult enraged the American, who rushed at Weber. However, a big bystander quietly interfered, taking Weber by the arm and leading him away, despite the secretary’s strug gles. The upshot of the affair was that the manager of the hotel took the American into his private office, where he heard the stfory and proffered an apology. Caruso is still on the hotel list.

PARIS, June 3.—Hurrying on a mis sion of life or death, Miss Josephine Howard, an English actress, arrived in Paris from London early to-day In response to a note from Mrs. Marie VanRansalrm-r Barnes, an American woman, who threatened to commit suicide because of the. marriage of Walter DeMumm, the rich vintner, tol Miss Florence Scovllle, daughter of a Seneca, Kant, banker.
