Street Railway Company Seeks
Permanent Injunction Against
City in Grant Street Case.
The somewhat famous injunction
case of the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company against the city, in the
matter of the Grant street paving,
came to trial Saturday in Judge W. D.
Ellis’ court, and, judging by the line
up of legal talent and expert wit
nesses, and so on, it will continue into
next week.
The case grew out of the demand by
the city that the street railway com
pany provide a concrete base for its
tracks on Grant street, under a re
cent city ordinance. The railway
company wanted to use a crushed
stone base instead. To enforce its de
mand, the city proceeded to construct
a fence across the tracks, and the
company then sought an injunction
duu'%iulng the city from interfering
with its traffic on Grant street.
A temporary restraining order was
granted, and the hearing' that began
Saturday was to determine if the
permanent injunction should be
granted, and, incidentally, if the city
could compel the company to install
a concrete base for the Grant street
tracks.
The company, represented by Col
quitt and Conyers, is taking two posi
tions in its case. The first is that the
ordinance, which was adopted in May,
does not apply to the Grant street
paving, which was provided prior to
the passage of the ordinance provid
ing the concrete base.
The other position is that the con
crete base for car tracks is becoming
obsolete, and the company’'s lawyers
state they have expert engineers who
will testify that most of the larger
cities of the country are abandoning
that style of base,
The city is represented by City At
torney Mayson and W. D. Ellis, Jr.,
Assistant City Attorney.
Under Alimony Bond
A. M. Steele, an insurance man, was
placed under a bond of SIOO Saturday
by Judge Ellis on a writ of ne exeat,
asked for by his wife, Mrs. Emily R.
Steele, to prevent him from leaving
the jurisdiction of the court until her
sult for alimony shall have been
heard.
Mrs. Steele also is filing suit for di
vorce, alleging cruelty. She says they
were married September 8, 1914, anil
separated exactly a year later. On
September 8 of this year Mrs. Steele
says that her husband struck their
3-month-old baby, and that when she
remonstrated he also struck her an-l‘
threw her to the floor.
The suit was flled by Holbrook &
Corbett. Judge Ellis set the hearing
for October 2.
Two Charge Cruelty
.
In Divorce Pleas
E. C. Harrison, a barber, in a suit
for divorce filed Saturday by Attorney
W. H. Lewis, said his wife, Mrs. Syl
via Harrison, informed him that she
“didn’t love him, that she regretted
ever marrying him, and that she in
tended to rid herself of him in some|
Jnanner that she might marry some
other man.” He declared she evpn|
went to the extent of threatening his
life if such a drastic measure should
be necessary to get rid of him.
Mrs. Pluma Watkins, who married
in Bartow, Fla., December 4, 1913, and
separated from her husband less than
a month afterward, January 1, 1914,
asked a divorce from Harry S. Wat
kins. She charged cruel treatment.

Mrs. Bohnefeld’s Last Words Are
* Praise of W. M. Mayo as
Chief.
Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld, 70, for the
last fourteen years matron at the At
lanta police station, is dead at the
hom_e of her daughter, Mrs. John Zim
merman, near Decatur, after an illness
of several months. Several weeks
ago Mrs. Bohnefeld was struck by a
dray at Five Points and seriously in-
Jured. She refused a pension, and re
turned to work, but soon was forced
to take a vacation, and when she came
back her family and friends insisted
that she rest at the home of her
daughter, She grew weaker and
weaker, and died Friday night at 9
o’clock. Her last words were a greet
ing sent to W. M. Mayo as a “good
chief of police.”
Mrs. Bohnefeld was born in Heidel
berg, Germany, in 1845, When her
parents died she came to New York,
where she took in sewing at a board
ing house. Her first husband was
Friedrich Emwald, who died in 1871,
and her second was Charles Bohne
feld, an Atlanta undertaker who died
fifteen years ago. Mrs. Bohnefeld was
a woman of great strength of char
acter, and on many occasions heiped
young girls who had been placed in
her care.
Police Captain W. F. Terry an
nounced the death of Mrs. Bohnefeld
to the morning watch, and there were
many expressions of regret. It is
probable that a special squad of po
lice will be detailed to attend the fu
neral.
The funeral will be held Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Pat

officiating, and the interment will be
in Oakland,
The pallbearers will be Chief W.
M. Mayo, Assistant Chief E. L. Jett,
W. T. Morris, the chief’'s secretary;

Man Who Tried to Extort Money
From the Candlers Held on
Blackmail Charge.
—_—— /
The charge of attempied blackmail
was made against 8. B. Burnett in
the Recorder's Court Friday afternoon
and Saturday he was in the DeKalb
County jail, held under a $5,000 bond
for his attempt to obtain money at
the home of Asa G. Candler, Jr., and
Mrs. W. D. Owens, a daughter of Mr.
Candler, Sr., in Druid Hills.
Burnett's defense and sole expla

that he was “crazy drunk.”
“I simply did not know what I was
doing,” he said.
Two witnesses In the case were D.
C. Mathews, the owner of the car in
which Burnett rode, and Harry Hen
derson, the chauffeur who drove it.
The chauffeur told of the car being
hired by Burnett and how he had
driven to Mr. Candler's home and
then to Mrs. Owens’. Neither was

Stefansson Is Confident
Land He Discovered Is
Of Value to Canada
(By International News Service.)
OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Sept. 18.—
Rejoicing here to-day over the safety
of Vilhjalmar Stefansson, head of the
Canadian Arctic expedition, was in
creased by the possibility that the
Dominion may acquire a big tract of
new territory as a result of the ex
plorations of the intrepid discoverer.
Stefansson has reported the find
ing of 100 miles of coast land above
the rugged and little known archi
pelago which forms a chain beyond
the upper line of North America and
west of Banks Land, which is believed
to be the fringe of a continent. Its
value as regards minerals or other
products remains yet to be seen, how
ever.
From the meager information con
tained in messages brought back to
clivilization by Captain 8. F. Cottle on
the schooner Ruby, the explorer be
lieves his discovery is of great im
portance.
Sails in New Ship.
In his new ship, the Polar Bear,
which replaces the lost Karluk, Ste
fansson will now strike out with 82
degrees north latitude and 145 de
grees west longitude as his ultimate
Jestination.
That point is suppesea to be his
«dea of the physical center of the land
he has discovered.
It probably will be two years be
fore Stefansson returns to civiliza
tion.

Sweeping Amendments To Be
Recommended to Congress by
President.
1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-~Sweep
ing amendments to the neutrality!
laws of the United States will be rec
ommended to Congress by President
Wilson, it was learned at the White
House to-day., The President and the
leading members of his Cabinet re
sponsible for the enforcement of the
neutrality laws--the Secretaries of
the Navy, Treasury and Commerce
and the Attorney General-—have been
amazed to find that under existing
lawg it is possible to plot against the
‘g-md name of the United States; to
conspire to destroy the country's free
institutions, and not be llable to any
Federal law. And so far the attempts
to punish persons responsible under
'State laws have proved a complete
faflure.
As an Instance it is cited that there
is no law to punish persons who send
coal and supplies to belligerent war
ships outside of the three-mile limit
other than the customs laws. This,
too, despite the fact that both sides in
the European war have time and
again used the United States for sup
ply stations. Then there is the case
of the American correspondent, James
F. J. Archibald. Officials frankly ad
mit that, while President Wilson has
decreed he must be jalled for acting
as messenger for Ambassador Dumba,
they have been unable as yet to de
termine under just what law they can
prosecute him, or even if they can
prosecute at all.
The genera! propaganda that has
been carried on throughout the United
States can not be stopped, because no
law is being violated. It is expected
the President will make specific ref
erences to a great number of cases in
his message to Congress advocating
the suggested reform legislation.
It also is expected the President will
advocate a more stringent regulation
of espionage. Present laws affecting
the protection of the American de
fense system are admittedly anti
quated and useless.

scheme for building submarines at
one-fourth the cost of those now In

be run by gasoline and can “carry a
plil at the end of a pole” with suffi
clent explosive power to holst out of
the sea the mightiest dreadnought

lweek and tell Secretary Daniels, of

and seems sure the Secretary will be
interested. He would not go into de
talls as to the construction of the
submarines, but sald positively the
fdea was practical, and if the new
type was adcpted the United States
would have an undersea navy that
would be second to none in the world,
He says the vessels will be easily
