Dr. Hering, Who Was City’s Con
sulting Engineer, Inspects
Snd Approves of Plant.
DIFFERS FROM WOODWARD
Councilman Ashley Also Is Pessi
mistic Concerning Worth of
the $260,000 Outlay.
Indication that the dispute over the
$260,000 crematory between the city
of Atlanta and the Destructor Com
pany of New' York may be settled at
an early date was Indicated Satur
day by a statement of Dr. Rudolph
Hering-, of New York, the city’s con
sulting engineer, who stopped in At
lanta on his way from Nashville to
Yew York and made an inspection of
the plant.
Dr. Hering said he saw no reason
to doubt that the crematory would
come up to the specifications of the
contract. The whole trouble, he said,
was from details of construction that
would be adjusted in time.
Dr. Hering’s view' differs radically
with those of Mayor Woodward and
Councilman Claude L. Ashley, chair
man of the Council Sanitary Com
mittee. Mayor Woodward especially
is pessimistic about the success of
the plant.
When the plant finally is accepted
a merry warfare is promised betw'een
Mayor Woodward and some mem
bers of Council over the addition of
an electric power plant. Attorneys
for the Destructor Company have
charged that Mayor Woodward’s bit
ter opposition to the plant is based
on objections to the addition of the
power plant.*
Destructor Company officials, like
the representative of the Okonite
Company, which built the fire alarm
system, declare there is no founda
tion to the reports heard by the May
or that they were Interested in de
feating him in the next election in
order that they might collect the
money from their plant.
Dr. Hering’s visit was his first since
tiie completion of the sewage disposal
plants. He w'ent out to the plants
with City Chief of Construction Cla*'-
ton and expressed much pleasure at
the manner of their operation.

Savannah Conductor Declares His
Lilting Ballad Never Got Rec
ognition He Paid For.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Robert J.
Kellogg, of the Kellogg Music Com
pany, of No. 1431 Broadway, was put
on trial yesterday in the United
States District Court for using the
mails to swindle young poets, whom
he is said to have promised to make
f amous at prices ranging from $14 to
$21.
B. R. Hutto, a street car conductor,
of Savannah. Ga.. said that after ha
had been assured by Kellogg that h's
‘‘Aeroplane Joe” would make a “tre
mendous sensation,” he sent on $4
extra to have a picture of himself
sitting in an aeroplane displayed »>n
the cover of the song.
After Kellogg’s office was raided by
the postoffice inspectors. Hutto said,
he received a letter from the publish
er saying that the photograph had been
confiscated by raiders, but that he.
Kellogg, was perfectly willing to lit
the $4 go toward paying the last in
stallment on the $20 fee for setting
the words to music. Kellogg, accord
ing to the witness, generously agreed
ta waive all rights to the song and to
allow Hutto an undivided profit In
the sale of f he same.
Judge Grubb and the Jury heard a
stanza from “Aeroplane Joe.”
Then the Judge cracked a gavel,
restoring order.
Rhymers Crowd Court.
The courtroom was crowded with
the rhymers. There were pastoral
poets fresh from the virgin soil; city
poets, black poets, white poets, poets
who depended on versification for
their living, and looked it; amateur
po#ts with other sources of Income,
who looked better fed; girl poets with
dreamy eye, lawyer poets, doctor po
ets. and, lastly, widow poets—each
with a story to tell of how Kellogg
offered to set their lines to music,
give them 10ft printed copies of the
same free, attend to copyright mat
ters and thereafter sell their songs
to high-class musical concerns, in
suring them a 2-cent royalty on each
song.
Prominent among the bards was
the lawyer poet from Louisiana who
wrote “The Ocean Severed the Tie
That Bound the Two In Twain,” a
Aeroplane Joe,’
Savannah Man’s
Song,Goes J ust So==
"Time brings about changes, we
cannot deny,
For a little bit later, this very
same guy,
Was seen tearing up roads and
ploughing up fields
With one of those six-passenger,
foredoor automobiles;
Those who now think he could
ever be checked.
Must consider for a moment with
greatest respect,
This guy has experience we would
do well to gain,
For he’s soaring through mid-air
with an aeroplane.
Chorus.
“Aeroplane Joe, w« admire you so,
You are teaching us a lesson of
progress we know.
Aeroplane Joe, always on the go,
Just keep on going,
Oh, Aenoplane Joe.”

tragic poem written around the Ti
tanic disaster. He was too modest
to give his name, and as he hasn’t
been called as a witness as yet tne
Government authorities also kept It a
secret. He vouchsafed the Informa
tion anonymously, however, that
when he played the tune composed
by Kellogg to fit his Titanic poem he
found that It sounded suspiciously
like '‘There’ll Be a Hot Time in the
Old Town To-night.” Other poets
say they had similar experiences. One
of them insisted that he had a love
sonnet set to “Hail.Columbia.”
“Widow Lady” Is Victim.
Mrs. Offie Klme, who ascribes half
her fame to the fact that she came
from Petersburg, Ind., and the other
half to her poem, ‘‘Won’t You Come
to Me, Dearest Mother?” told Judge
Grubb that she was “a widow lady”
trying to make some “honest” money
out of poetry. She modestly protest
ed that she never really expected to
sell her songs outside of her home
town.
During her examination Assistant
United States District Attorney
Charles H. Griffiths turned sharply
about to point at the de/endant In the
dramatic manner of prosecutors, hut
found his accusing forefinger leveled
at an empty chair. Judge Grubb
called a short recess until Kellogg
was found In the hall, smoking a
cigarette. Things had become too
tense for him, he said.
Decatur is to have gas at the same
rate that is paid in Atlanta. Mayor
J. A. Montgomery announced Satur
day night that the contract with the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
for the installation of gas mains in
the streets of the city has been signed,
following the granting of an indefi
nite franchise . by the City Council
Friday night. The mains will tra
verse the principal streets of the to Am
and the work of laying them will be
gin May 1 of next year.
The granting of the franchise brings
to an end a fight that the people of
Decatur have been making for ion
years to secure gas. The matter was
handled by a committee from the
City Council, composed of T. C. Ma
son. chairman; T. S, Hodges and J.
T. Green, who held a number of con
ferences with President Arkwright, of
the gas company, before the action
was taken by the Council.
The signing of the franchise will be
one of the last official acts of Mayor
Montgomery, who retires January 1.
after serving for ten years. During
his administration the city has in
stalled a system of public schools,
electric lights, waterworks, sewerage,
twenty miles of sidewalks and fifteen
miles of paved streets.

Box 587- D
Jasper, Ala.
NEW YORK, Deo. 20.—"The country
calls me,” explains Mrs. H. H. Sevier,
the Texas woman who has resigned the 1
presidency of the Dixie Club.
“One can’t be president of a club, or
clubs, without sacrificing one’s family.
“You know,” she said, “I was born
and raised in Texas. Of course, we
like to be near New York, so we have
bought 130 acres near Oyster Bay, and
are building a country place. I am go
ing to get all my animals from Texas;
then, when 1 get tired, I can get back
to the farm in an hour’s time.
“I am president of the Texas Club
and that takes a great deal of my time.
Finally my husband said that If I con
tinued giving all my time to club af
fairs he would not build the Long Is
land. place. So there you are.
“I have considered it a great honor
to be the Dixie Club’s president, if only
for a short time.”

Make H er Heart Glad
Christmas With a Diamond
/
Diamonds make ideal gifts as well as good invest
ments.
It is impossible to get anything for Christmas which
will be better than diamonds. Instead of wearing out, as
most presents do, they become more valuable year by year.
There is nothing in all the world so beautiful and
which appeals so strongly to a woman.
They appeal to men just as strongly for their beauty
and also because men know that they are rising in \alue
all the time and that a present which is given this Christ
mas will be worth at least 10 per cent more by next
December.

rush of Christmas will not interfere with oui gi'ing a
