3 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MOT OPENS FIGHT TO E NORTH S!0E FORREST ADAIR TO CRY DOLLS FOR XMAS FUND FORREST ADAIR PROHIBITIONS!),IB GIVENTD '[ Mayor Woodward declared Wed nesday that the burning of the mag nificent Winecoq home in Ansley Park showed clearly that section of ihe city must have a fire engine house and that he would drudge an appro priation for one before the Finance Committee in January. "Not only does that section need a fire engine house, but it is without fire alarm boxes, despite the fact that the new fire alarm system is said to be complete," said Mayor Woodward. “We need a lire station in that sec tion and one out in the western sec tion of the city as soon as they can possibly be built. Lots already have been purchased and one or more of these stations must be buili^noxt year. “Other sections are urging fire en gine houses, but these must be built first." Humphrey to Lead Fight. Mayor Woodward said he read the editorial In The Georgian urging an engine house and equipment at once and that (he appeal struck the right note. Councilman W. G. Humphrey, of the Eighth Ward, and chairman of the Finance Committee, Insisted the first of the year that an appropriation be made for a station In that section of the Eighth Ward. In the switching of appropriations, however, only enough money to buy a lot was left in the budget. Councilman Humphrey I will lead a fight next year for the new station. Protests from citizens » r that se.- I tion, where many of the lyost boa i- j tiful residences in the South are !o« • cated, that for a house to catch fire j meant that it would be destroyed be cause of lack of protection, have been of little avail in getting action from Council. Now that a $100,000 hom.e has gone up In smoke as a sacrifice the sta tion is likely to be built within i short time. Citizens Are Aroused. The residents are so aroused over what they consider discrimination against them that they are ready to go before ;he Council Finance Com mittee in a body and insist on a new station. Also the.\ will demand thafc fire alarm boxes be placed over the ar^a as soon as possible. Other beautiful homes have been consumed by fire Just as the Wlne- coff home, was, before the firemen ever reached the scene. Men from the Norrh avenue station, the near est one to that section, said that ihe flames had burst through the top of the Wlnecoff home before they came in sight of it. They had to make a run of about fifteen blocks. When they got there, there was not enough men and equipment to check the flames VILLAIN'S G!J[[EIS; Q r nCensorsKins ’ s Women Entertainers [; 1 W WEST POINT, Dec. 10. Both the “lovers” were wounded and another barely escaped a bullet in the head when Ja« k Morgan, the “villain” in “The Northern Light.” a “meller drammer," used a revolver loaded with real bullets instead of blank cartridges during a'tent show by *the c. W. Parks Dramatic Company here last night. And the thousand spectators Thought it was part of the play when Miss Nellie Wood and W. P. Mon- ( l ief, the ‘“lovers,” fell to the stage floor as the shots rang out. the former with a bullet in a leg and the latter with one in a foot. Miss Margaret Tucker, leading woman, was saved from being shot by her wealth of hair. A bullet burn ed her scalp. The wounding of the actors did not become generally known unil this morning. None of the wounds is con sidered serious, but it will be some time before the actors can resume their parts. 'i he shooting, it Is explained, was due to a mistake of a stage hand in handing the “Desperate Desmond” the wrong gun. The «hooting was'at the end of the last act. The company is playing a week’s stand here. BANQUET FOR HARRISON. KNOXVILLE.

Dec. 10—After ear nest rivalry for more than 30 years be tween this town and St. Lawrence, the latter place has finally “put one over” on Miller.
