'
Consent to Operation of De

MUST INCINERATE GARBAGE

Committee Chairman Feared Joker‘
' bt ' '
in Petition Which Might Com
' £ '
promise Municipality.
The city destructor plant will be
running Sunday by special permis
sion of Mayor Woodward and Coun
cilman Ashley, chairman of the coma
mittee on sanitary affairs of City|
Council. Application was made Sat- |
urday afternoon for permission to op~
erate the plant to clean out flues
and test the furnaces.
Councilman Ashley scented some
trick in this and refused to sign the
permit unless for the purpose of in
cinerating .garbage. In this way the
city hopes to reduce the accumula
tion of about 250 tons of garbage at
the city crematory. |
The petition to operate on Sunday
was viewed askance until it could be
fully considered with a view to pick
ing out any “jokers” which mighzi
later involve or compromise the (:it}"
in litigation with the destructor com- |
pany. \
Counselman Ashley is well pleased
with several things accomplished by
the committee on sanitdby affairs
during the week, particularly with the
announcement of the Fulton Bag and
Cotton Mills Company that it will
follow up the demands of the com
mittee to establish better sanitary
conditions in the gunarters of its em
ployees. Councilman Ashley will visit
the homes of workmen’s families
again Sunday afternoon to note what
has been done the past week in the
way of complying with the demands |
of the committee. \Water hydrants
in every set of rooms and individual
sinks for each sectlon of quarters
occupied by a family were required
by the committee to supplant the old
community hyvdrants and sinks.
Counciiman Ashley is determined
that the work must progress rapid
ly, as the cotton mills operatives have
promised
The Board of Health has agked
City Council for a transfer of $4OO of
its funds s 0 as to purchase a run
about’ automobile for its plumbing
inspector. This, it is thought, would
be more advisable and more econom
ical than putting on another inspec
tor. The Board of Health is con
templating the wholesale condemna
tion of a great deal of insanitary
plumbing in several of the older sec
ticns of the city and wants to equip
its inspectors so as tc do efficient
and rapid work when this crusade
against bad plumbing is taken up.
The city will be asked to put $lOO
with the $4OO now in possession of
the Board of Health for the purchase
of an automobile for its plumbing
inspector.

Grand Jury Suspends Two Men,
Claiming Irregularities In En
tering Cases on Docket.
BRUNSWICK, July 18.—Charged
with malpractice in office, J. R. Rob
‘erson and J. T. Lambright, justices
of the peace here, were suspended to
‘day by Judge Conyers on recommen
dation of the Grand Jury pending trial
of accusations against them next
‘month in City Court.
When the charges were brought,
‘Quite a sensation was sprung, as the
two men had been in office for years
and had never been suspected.
“The controlling motive in most
every case with justices seems to be
the collection of fees,” asserted the
Grand Jury. “We find a number of
cases where the police officer is
marked as prosecutor and the entry is
placed on the books, abandoned and
costs paid by prosecutor, when our
Investigations show clearly the prosee
cutor does not pay costs, but that
money for costs, including fees for
the policeman, is paid by the accused
or his or her friends.”
It also is charged that cases were
not entered on dockets, but costs were
collected and no records are available
of just how much money has been ex
acted from the people, who, through
ignorance ar fear, are always willing
to have their cases settled by payinz
whatever costs are exacted.

Exposed on Lusitania
NEW YORK, July 18.—The voyage
of the Lusitania was enlivened by the
presence on board ef five card sharps,
one of the party being a woman, who,
when the steamer docked yesterday,
was accused by another passenger of
robbing him during a card game.
The complaint was investigated by
one of the steamship detectives who
found the accused had $2,300 in her
possession. She accounted for the
amount by frankly admitting that it
represented parts of the proceeds of
a robbery in which her accuser had
played a part. Her American citlzen
ship enabled her to leave the vessel
without detention.
I For Each 8 Families
| TOPEKA, KANS., July 18.—There
will be a motor car for every family in
this State by June 1, 1918, if Kansans
continue to buy automobiles at the rate
they bought them last year, according
to Charles H. Sessions, Secretary of
State.
In a report just issued he shows that
thera are now 39,889 cars and 7,480 mo
torcycles carrying State licenses in
Kansas.
“This means approximately one car to
every eight families,'"” Mr. Sessions said.
“A year ago there was one for every
ten families. At the present rate of
buying, in 1818 there will be an average
of one motor car to every family.”

From what the police of the Poplar

hour that she ever made a bet, Mrs
Flynn accompanied her injured com
panion to the hospital and promised
to visit her every blessed day.

Mrs. Carter, of Oklahoma, Trav
els to Get Ideas for Correc
'
tional Farm.
KANSAS CITY, July 18.—Capturing
bootleggers and playing the part ofa
real Wild West Sheriff are some of
the tasks of Mrs. Katherine Carter in
her work as weifare officer of Me-
Curtain County, Oklahoma. Mrs.
Carter is in Kansas-» City visiting
friends and studying the Board of
Public Welfare here, She expects 1o
get ideas for a new correctional farm
to be established soon in her county.
Mrs. Carter, who is probation and
truancy officer and a member of the
Board of Guardians, really serves as
a policewoman for McCurtain Coun
tv. Her work takes here to all parts
of the county, and she rides dressed
in her khaki suit and with a revolver
in her belt. She is sald to have cap
tured more bootleggers than any oth.
er officer in the county.
Learned to Shoot Straight.
How to shoot accurately was one
of the first requirements Mrs. Carter
found that she needd when she took
up welfare work there. For her first
case she was sent out in the country
from Ida Bell, the county seat, to
bring+in a man who had deserted his
tamily and who was living in the
woods with two women.
On arriving at the place the man
refused to come, layghing at her or
ders.
“T ‘made numerous pleas,” she said,
“and finally I was forced to perfo
rate his legs with buckshot. 1 then
bandaged them up and had him hitch
up the wagon and we all returned to
dda Bell. It was a triumphant entry,
for the officers had not expected I
would get my man. To-day that man
{s one of the best friends 1 have in
Oklahoma, He says-that experience
taught him respect for me.”
Saves Children From Mills.
Mrs. Carter has taken an active
{nterest in the establishment of rura!
schools, and in the last two years has
seen 52 such schools Pstablish'ed in
her county. She has had many chil
dren taken from the mills and placed
In schools.
“Our welfare work in that couniy
fs very hard,’” she said, ,“and also
very much needed, because our popu
lation. to some extent, consists of the
descendants of oriminal refugees
from all the surrounding States who
went there because it {s near the
border. The idea of a woman in this
work was very new to the people at
first, but they have become accus
tomed to it, and I believe I know
nearly every person in the county.”
Mrs. Carter has such a -keen de
tective sense that she can always
understand the signals of the boot
leggers and can locate Hquor that iw

beg enough to get to Richmond, Ind.,
The Judge then informed the pris
oner that he, too, was blind, and with
the help of court officials, the men
shook hands. Judge Bell arranged
for the transportation of Meyers to
where he had relatives.

Free From U. S. Prison, Will
Speak at Tabernacle.
* Professor Alexander Pacurar, who
says he had a vislon and was in
vested with a message for the world
while he was & prisoner in th‘ At

' line that message héfore “a public
'meotinz In the Luckie Street Baptist
Tabernacle Sunday, July 26, at 3:30
o'clock in the afternoon. He prom
ises an interesting occaslon.
The professor, in the happy daysy
before,he fell into the toils of the law,
was a prestidigitateur, as hls ornate
card announces—in short, a worker of
magle. For g few of the dramatic ef
fects in hls lecture he will depend
upon his ancient art, which-he says
he did not lose in prison. Here is his
ambitious promise, as his widely
published placards announce:
“Under his mesmeric Influence
within a few moments you will find
yourself suspended in a strange at
mosphere through which yvou will see
and realize the past of your life. The
star of vour future will appear before
yvou, will strengthen and prepare you
for the struggle of life"
Professor Pacurar has written a
letter to the clergymen of Atlanta,
relating the marvelous details of a
spiritual experience that camse to him
in his prison ¢ell, by which, he claims,
he was endowed wilh a power more
than human. |
The lecture will be delivered by the
professor in the striped garb of a
convict, with the number on the knees
and back of the garments by whicl
he was known as a prisoner. There
will be soft music, eloquence and ail
the other accessories to a spiritual
appeal, he promises.
