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. PAROLED CONVICT BARRED.

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.” Mayor Montgomery Announces Contract Has Been Signed With Co. for Installing Mains. 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.

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.

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.
