Turner, in a statement Friday, said he welcomed the announced probe of hia conduct by the Board of Electrical Control and the Council Electric Lights Committee and defied Aldine Cham bers, attorney for the Cotton States Electric Company, to prove his "graft” charges. "Let Chambers be specific,” said Turner. "Hia charges are only veiled intimations. “After my fight for reduced elec tric 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 organisation 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 Contribution*.” “These charges are all bosh. H* 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 tc the details oT his charges He said it was not within his province to take any action toward the impeach ment 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 Elektron 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. His graft hints are that burner has re ceived considerable financial aid from this company, 'wnich he is prepared to prove, and that since the Cotton States Electric Company’s withdrawal from the company. Turner has per secuted it. Charge* in Writina. The charges were submitted in writing to the Board of Electrical Control and the Council Electric Lights Committee. After reviewing the controversy between Turner and the Cotton States Electric Company that has been reviewed before the Board of Electrical. 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 tractors to do business in Atlanta without a license. When a few minutes later he ma.de a reference to the wiring of the Ho tel Winecoff by a company without a license Turner rejoined; "Stick to your case.” ‘T will,” answered Chambers. "My case Is showing you up.” “Then we’ll show’ up something, too," remarked Carl Hutcheron, who had appeared as Turner's attorney. "We’ll tell something about the As phalt trust.” "I—I won’t say what I started to say.” 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 association 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 decided 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 m 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.
