WHAT COUNCIL DID A7 MONDAY’S SESSION The only thing accomplished at the five hour*’ session of city council Monday afternoon was the complete surrender to the petition* for liquor licenses In West Mitchell street. This surrender was due to the revoca tion of pledges made by councilmen a year ago. 1 A , I ? er "l a P.

Saloon-men came, saw and conquered at the long-drawn-out session of city council Monday afternoqn. which, after four and a half hours, adjourned to meet again Thursday at 1 o’clock, to complete the Immense amount of work before the body. Two things were accomplished Mon day. The opposition was successful In getting the question of municipal con trol of gas put off until another time and licenses were given to all the sa loon men who desired them. Aside from these, there was nothing done. From the time the meeting was called to order untU the motion was unanimously carried to take a two- days- recess a battle royal raged, In teresting from every view point. Tho sentiments expressed alone would have held the attention of the "rankest out sider,” and the underlying motives ac tuating the moves and counter-moves heightened thle, making the session unique. Military Park Report. The first, as well as the last, matter touched upon was that of the national military parks, which, It Is hoped, At lanta will be successful In getting an appropriation to build and maintain. The report of the large special com mittee was accepted and a delegation will be appointed by council to take the matter before the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic this year In Minneapolis. When brought up at the close of the session the bill to be presented by Congressman Llvlngaton was read and approved, Chairman Ed mund w. Martin, of the committee, explaining that It was of paramount Importance to get the bill before the national body before It adjoumm. Enters Gas Report. The second matter taken up was the report of the special committee ap pointed to look Into the charter of the Atlanta Gas Light Company.' As chair man, James L. Key returned a minori ty report. It was decided to take up one proposition at a time and thus vote on each of the six separately. At the last session of council. Alderman Joseph Hlrsch moved to table the en tire report as soon ns tt had been read. This motion wns killed, but It was sent back to the committee. After the first proposition, which Is to hove tho city attorney bring suit against the com pany to ascertain exactly how valid the gas franchise and charter are and what rights the city has, Alderman Hlrsch moved that the report of the majority be accepted. Three of.the committee had voted against and two for the first proposition. Alderman Key, who saved the re port at the previous session of council by a timely speech after the undebat- able motion of tabling bad been made, took the floor, and In no uncertain words expressed his opinion of the manner In which certain members of council were ottemptlng to get rid of tho question nt Issue. “Hs’s Not Sincere," Say* Key. I don’t believe," said Mr. Key, “that th* alderman is sincere in his motion. From his previous action on this im portant subject he does not caro wheth er it is a minority report or a majority rsport which ho moves to be accepted. If th* minority report was against the proposition ho would have moved to accept that. Ho Is simply in favor of tho gas company.” Mr. Key continued by declaring that he could not understand the position of the council on the matter, that they were not even willing to, see whether or not the gas company has the rights It was exercising. Mr. Key then went Into a short discussion of the gas com pany’s franchise. Amont other things he said that such a thing aa a perpet ual franchise was unconceivable to the mind of man. "After 3,000 years, why the franchise will be only In Its youth. It will be a thing Just started If It be perpetual.” He then questioned wheth er there could be such a thing as a per petual franchise. He brought up the taking over of the Gate City Gas Com. pany’s property by the preeeitt com. peny. which, he declared, was done without legislative authority, and also that that company’s charter had ex pired by limitation. He discussed the aws of thirty-year limitation, the late state charter made effective many yeara ago, and the amendment to the present gas company’s charter. He also took up the provision In the origi nal charter of the present company confining It to operating within one mile of the city’# center and the pro vision to furnish gas for lighting pur poses and not for heating. He declared that these matters were for the courts to settle, and that such a suit would not Injur* the gas company that thought nothing of suits, having al ways a competent corps of attorneys. Further, Sir. Key declared, the qlty of Atlanta need not be afraid of Infrlng. Ing on the rights of the gas company, as tt could not overstep the bounds nno Inch without being submerged In law suits, and stated that the committee appointed to look Into the mntter had not even been treated with proper re spect by certain of the gas company's attorneys, and that It was the duty of the council to vindicate the committee In these matters. Concluding, Mr. Key said; "Certainly, your honor, we are not going to allow the Atlanta Gas Com pany to settla upon the right* of the cttlxens of Atlanta.” Hammond Takes ths Floor. Oh the motion of Alderman Key, the rules were suspended and Attorney T. A. Hammond, representing the gas company, was given the floor. Mr. Hammond based his arguments along the lino that the city of Atlanti could not do without the company that It was a benefactor of tho city, that the charter was granted fifty years back aa perpetual when the city was only a struggling Village, and that It was os good now as then; that the company had shared the reverses and the benefits of the city, sticking to It through thick and thin, and that even If there wer* technical points which could take from the company a portion of its plant and franchise, all moral law was against such. The latter por tion of Mr. Hammond's speech was almost entirely based on the gratitude the city should feel to the gas com pany. The .. ed manner. Rising to a time, he exclaimed: “Mr. Key said In committee that If the committee did not make a favorable report he would take the matter before council and It council did not see fit to vote favorably on the report he himself would fight It out. Tour honor and gentlemen, do not tgke from him the honor. Let him fight It out alone,” He also declared, turning to Alderman Key, after stating that the committee had only voted fa. vorably on the two portions of the ordl. nance to satisfy the one he was ad. dressing, "Yes, there Is some satisfac tion you can have. You have already Injured the company by hurting its securities." He asked if the city was prepared to take over the gas works. ”1* the city prepared to spend In the erection of a gas plant T” To tho council he said that no matter what the city’ wanted, the men would not be afraid to do what was tight and asked that the whole matter dropped. Mr. Hammond was then questloried by Councilmen Terrell and Martin. Councilman Terrell proposed to re- tommlt proposition No. 1 and Council man Martin moved that the whole re port be recommitted to be reported on again more fully. Alderman Key said If one portion of the report was sent back to commutes he would rather have it all sent hack. Mr. Key further stated that If there was a cloud placsd over the gas com pany as had been stated by Mr. Ham mond, he could not sea why they, If they were In the right, were opposed to a suit. He denied that he had made any such statement as that he would continue the fight If the council saw fit to turn the matter down, but on the contrary had stated that If the council turned It down he would feel that he had done his duty. Mr. Ham mond said h* must have misunder stood Mr. Kay. PRINTING, BINDING lithographing AND NOVELTY ADVERTISING F. E. PURSE, 14 to 18 EAST MITCHELL ST. BOTH PHONES 254. Key's Hot Rejoinder. In closing hla answering argument, Mr. Key said: "Maybe Mr. Hammond cannot understand such a thing as dis interestedness, but I came to council, not to line my pockets with money, but to win what he and all of us should strive to win and what we should be here for, to win the plaudits of those we represent. He may not understand this, but I do, and for this reneon I have fought for thla matter which the public Is vitally Interested In.” The matter was then referred back to committee. Liquor Question Up Again. Although the dramatic features .of the liquor question, the other matter taken up, were not aa pronounced as those In th* gas situation, they wars equally as Interesting. The feature, bordering on ths ridiculous at times, was the "back-sliding” of somt of those who had promised their support to Mitchell street antl-aaloon license, ter a long fight th* saloons, seven In all, applying for licenses on Mitchell street, were given licenses and Gann A Garraux, 33a Simpson street, after being turned down, were also given a license. The first vote on this saloon stood 10 to 10, when Mayor Pro Tern, Harwell voted against th* saloon. When, on the motion of Councilman Terrell, this was reconsidered end It was explained that the proprietors would eliminate the negro feature of the saloon, they ware granted a license by a vote of 13 to I. A rather peculiar dreumetance cropped out at this Juncture. Council man Glass had led the opposition against granting tha saloon license. Councilman Pattlllo arose and asked Councilman Glass If Gann did not man- talgn for hts opposition. Councilman Glaaa arose to his feet be fore the question had been completed, and. leaning over his dealt, at th* con clusion, declared In an sxdtad vole* that tt was not true, that such a thing had nothing to do with the matter any- way. The applicants for licenses on Weet Mitchell street were: B. Rosenthal, No. $; J. D. Brady A Bra,. No. *; Roth schild, No. 31; Campbell A Poole, No. 35: A. A. Wlseberg, No. 37; Slg Sam uels, No. 33; Century Distilling Com pany, No. 37. All the** were for *a- oona except Wleeberg, who has a wholesale house, and no fight was made on his place. Dr. Whit* Speaks. When th* rules were suspended to allow dtlxena to speak. Dr. John P- Whlte was th* first to speak. The speech was baaed along the line that the stranger received his first Impres sion coming from the terminal station along Mitchell street, and that the COMMISSION STARTS WAR AGAINST DRINKING. Asks Council to Stop the Giving or Selling of Drinks to Offi cers in Uniform. The police commission has set Its foot squarely down on drinking in the police department. In addition to punishing policemen for drinking, the commissioners are now going out after saloonlats who sell or give Intoxicants to policemen while on duty or In uniform. On suggestion of Captain English, the commission Monday night appoint ed a committee, consisting of Com mlssloners Brandon and Oldknow and Chief Jennings, to draft a suitable resolution and present to the city enun ell asking council to revoke the II cense ot any saloonlst guilty of this offense. In discussing the matter. Captain English said: "We punish the officers guilty of In toxlcatlon, and we should also provide some punishment tor the men who causa them , to become Intoxicated. Whisky Is given policemen by saloon lats aa a bait and a bribe, and for no other purpofe. The saloonlst* commit a crime every time they do this, and they should bo punished. They should not only be prohibited from giving whisky to policemen while In uni form or on duty, but should not be allowed to sell It to them. This Is a disgraceful practice, and should broken up by this board at once, place a penalty on the saloon such offenses, I am satisfied there will be less drinking and drunkenness among the policemen." Both Commissioner Venable and Mayor Woodward discussed the prop osition, sanctioning the views of Cap tain English, parting guest received his last Im pression of Atlanta from this thor oughfare. That It was traversed by all going to and from tha station. He also spoke of those who had pledged their word to revoke licenses along the street In question, declaring that they had given their pledge to the people of Atlanta one year ago, and now that they were duty bound as men of their word to' carry out their pledge. After an earnest and telling speech, he con cluded: 'There are seven persons who aro asking for license along these three short blocks. Thcso soven are the only persons in the wqrld, so far as wo enow, who wish tho saloons. Agnlnst the seven persons are sixty ministers of the gospel; against the seven per son* are sixty Protestant churches; against the seven persons are all the 1 people of Atlanta. .Which will you . gentlemen, grant the petition of the seven persons who Want theas dens of hell, or tho prayers of the others 7” Dr. :C. E. Bowman, pastor of the Irst Methodist flhurch; Dr. A. R. Hoi- derby and Rev. J. If. Little, postor of tho Asbury Methodist church, spoke against the granting of the license. Attorney Ben Phillips spoke In be half of the liquor men. He argued that property value was the thing to considered, stating that people who ty had expeci . . . 0 It would not be Just to cut them off by eliminating the saloon feature. Sixteen Reneged. At this point, the Intereet had reach- 1 a high pitch, but It was soon to be seen, however, how matters were to go. One by one, with but a few exceptions, those of the sixteen in council from the year before, when they had pledged themselves to revoke the licenses, began to make excuses. They declared that the situation had Our Great Pre-Inventory Sale Continues. Hundreds of satisfied customers have already laid in a supply of New Stylish Footwear at a great saving.
