ILL bosh:
SftYS CITY ELECTRICIAN,
DEFYING'GRAFT'PROBE
City Electrician R. C. Turner, in
h statement Friday, said lie welcomed
! lie announced probe of Ills conduct
by the Board of Electrical Control
and the Council Electric Eight*
• 'ommlttee and defied Aldine Cham
ber*, attorney for the (Totton State*
Electric Company, to prove his
graft" charges
Let Chambers be specific,” said
Turner 'His charges are only veiled
intimations.
After my fight for reduced ele«-
trie light and power rates for the
people of Atlanta the organization
of electrical contractors gave me a
banquet at the M. & M. Club and
presented me with a watch. There
is a similar organization to this in
every city in the country and on the
inside of my watch is an inscription.
'For R. C. Turner, from his fellow-
craftsmen.’
“Campaign (Contributions ”
"These charges are all bosh. It*
may think he is proving something
when he brings out facts that every
body knows, that there were cam
paign contributions made to me."
Attorney Aldine Chambers smiled
.significantly Friday when asked as to
the details of his charges. He said
it was not within * his province to
take any action toward the impeach-
inent of Turner, but that the facts
»he would produce certainly would be
sufficient grounds for Council to im
peach the City Electrician.
He said there was an organization
of electrical contractors in Atlanta
known as the EJektron Company, that
his client, the Cotton States Electric
Company, had formerly been a mem
ber of this organization but had with
drawn for business reasons. Ilia
graft hints are that Turner has re
ceived considerable financial aid from
this company, which he is prepared
to prove, and Aiat since the Cotton
States Electric Company's withdrawal
from the company burner hae per
secuted it.
Charges in Writinq.
The charges were submitted in
writing to the Board of Electrical
Control and the Council Electric
Eights Committee. After reviewing
the controversy between Turner and
the Cotton States Electric Company
. that has been reviewed before the
Hoard o? TTeotrksal Control during
several recent meetings, the written
charges state that Turner has been
lenient with other contractors and
that he has even allowed foreign con
tractor# to do business in Atlanta
without a license.
When a few minutes later he made
a reference to the wiring of the Ho
tel Winecoff by a company without
a license Turner rejoined
"Stick to your case.”
I will,”- answered Chambers. "Mv
case is showing you up.”
"Then well show up something,
too,” remarked Carl Hutcheron, who
had appeared as Turner’s attorney.
“Well tell something about the as
phalt trust.”
“I- I won’t say what 1 started to
suy." replied Chambers
Specific Accusations.
The wording of the graft charges
relating to the association of electri
cal contractors is:
“We charge that said Turner ac
cepted gifts from such an a«|sociatlon
or its members.
“We charge that Turner appointed
four members of the Board of Elec
trical Examiners for contractors who
were in this association.
• We further charge that .said Tur
ner is under financial obligation to
this association or its members.
•We do not mean to reflect upon
this association or its members.
“We also charge that he has used
his official position to compel loans
to him.”
The Joint meeting of the officials
hearing the charges dfeided to post
pone further consideration of them
until Monday in order tHat Turner
may have an opportunity to reply to
them.
Message From Memphis.
There was then considerable argu
ment over whether the Cotton States
Electric Company should be allowed
to continue work in the meantime.
Turner produced a telegram from the
city electrician of Memphis, the
former home of Jack Peters, mana
ger of the Cotton States Electric
Company, stating that it was hard
to make Peters comply with the law.
Turner then said he had no objec
tions to Peters pursuing his work,
though before the meeting he had re
fused to grant him the necessary per
mits.

Don’l Force Your Liver To Work
DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec 6.—Al
though Mood conditions had improved
in the northern section of central
Texas, the floor! center had moved
southward to-day and lives and
property were menaced between
Hearne and Richmond. The heavy
tains had ceased.
The Brazos River at Waco to-day
had risen two feet, and flood condi
tions were growing worse h >tirly
Rain was still falling there this morn
ing*
At Hearne boats were expected
from Houston to rescue more than
100 persons who spent the nijSjt in
tree toy s.
A railroad bridge collapsed near

with it. The cie.v swam *o sifely,
but the engine was buried in sard

is believed* however, there are other
victims unreported from the isolated
sections.
When Liver Gets Lazy it Needs
Only Jacobs' Liver Salt.
We have progressed beyond the calo
mel and blue mass age. Calomel is a
dangerous drug which crashes Into the
system with mercurial force and
punches a way through the sour bile,
leaving organs stunned and weak and
sometimes with serious after effects.
Thinking people realize it is better to
keep the liver, kidneys and bowels
working regularly and normally.
One becomes constipated and bilious
because all food has a percentage of
Indigestible waste, the richer the diet
the greater this percentage, and in time
it packs and retards the eliminative
processes of liver and kidneys. But all
you need is Jacobs’ Liver Salt to give
a gentle flushing which loosens and
washes away waste and fermentation In
the natural elimination.
Jacobs’ Liver Salt is the most nat
ural liver tonic. Sodium sulphate and
lithium stimulate and augment the nat
ural digestive sulphates in the blood;
instead of forcing It works naturally,
gently, but promptly. If not up
to the mark on arising, take Jacobs'
Liver Salt and In an hour you feel
splendid. Agreeable to take and never
gripes. Jacobs’ Liver Salt is better
for your liver than calomel, and If
you don’t agree with us after trying it,
your money back at the store where
you bought it. All druggists. 25c. Made
and guaranteed by Jacobs’ Pharmacy,
Atlanta.—Advt.

College Girls’ Kisses
Classified by Author
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—“You can tell
by the way a young American girl re
ceives or gives a kiss what college she
has attended,” declares Emile Des-
champs, the French author, in a chap
ter of his new book, entitled “Uncle
Sam’s Women.” He writes;
“The best kisses come from Smith
College, although the Harvard Annex
girls prefer kisses to bonbons
"The klas of Vassar girls is like a
blow
“The graduates of Bryn Mawr kiss
without batting an eye.
“The ravishing kiss of Mount Holyoke
girls can only be likened to a volcano.”
Two Drivers Shot in
Indianapolis Strike
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 5.—Two

bridge at Belmont street a shower of
rocks and bricks struck them. The men
drew their revolvers and fired into
the crowd. That was the signal for
a. fusillade of shots. The two drivers
