INTERESTING P?NT
IN "SIEETER" CASE
W. T. Healey, president of the Healey
Real Kstate and Improvement Com
pany, was the defendant to a suit in
the police court Friday morning which
occupied over an hour and which was
hotly contested by counsel. He was
Aned (50 by Judge Broyles on a charge
of maintaining a nuisance; Inspector
Genre!!, of the health department,
having charged Mr. Healey with dam
ming up the Aow of surface water and
forming a pond which breeds mosqui
toes.
The case was set for 10 o'clock end
was argued until nearly noon. The de
fense held that the owner of the prop
erty had a right to protect his own land
from the encroachments of water and
that It waa the city's duty to abate
the nuisance, Mr. Healey having forced
the water off his own land. The city
held that the owner ot the lot had no
right to build an embankment to force
the water from his own land Into the
street.
After hearing the arguments Judge
Broyles assessed a Ane of (50 and costs.
Mr. Healey gave notice ot * appeal
to higher courts. The pond In ques
tion is near Johns and Gray streets
and has been the cause ot a number
of complaints.

HARVIE JORDaTps CARD
8HOW8 MUCH TEMPER
The Hon. John Temple Graves re
turned yesterday from the aea coast
and began at once to sling mud over
the editorial pages of The Atlanta
Georgian In a thoroughly uncalled-for
tirade of abuse and ungentlemanly In
sinuations because of a reply which I
wrote recently, at (he request of the
Atlanta Credit Men's Association, to
an editorial In The Georgian Indorsing
the gambling methods of local cotton
exchangee, and more particularly the
New York Cotton Exchange.' There
waa absolutely nothing In the article,
which waa prepared over my signature,
that was In any wlas offensive to the
editor of The Oeorglan unlean It waa
found In the exposure of the position
taken by his paper'In an advocacy ot
gambling In futurea through the pres<
cut aystem of local wire houass.
1 expressed regret and aurprlse that
the editor of Tha Georgian, who had
been regarded aa a friend of the So -th
em Cotton Association, especially dur
ing Ills fleeting though disappointing
career as a candidate for political of-
Ace, should allow the editorial columns
of hla puper to be used In the advO'
cacy of a great evil which the law'
abiding people of Georgia were using
every endeavor to suppresa. I used
arguments In the defense of a buslnesa
and moral proposition which was en
tirely acceptable to the Atlanta Credit
Man's Association, and which they pub
lished In connection with a cartoon
which they prepared, and about wi Ich
1 knew absolutely nothing, and did not
see until after It appeared In Tha At
lanta Journal. The cartoon Is what
seemed to have especially riled the
Hon. John Temple, because It showed
him up as defending the gambling In
stitutions of which Ills two brothsre-tn-
lepr are managers. But 1 didn't prepare
the cartoon, Mr. Graves. You knew
the Atlanta Credit Men's Association
was responsible for both the article
and cartoon, but you had only kind
and complimentary words for them.
Why? Was It because they do more
or lees advertising, and The eGorglan
wants a slice of the pie they give out
to the public which commands valua
ble and monetary returns?
Statement of Facts.
Here are the facte. If you are not
posted, because they occurred while
you claim to have been takings much
ly needed bath In the salt water off
the coast of the Carolines: I-ate In
the afternoon of July It I was Invited
to be present at a meeting of the At
lanta Credit Men's Association. In room
104 of the Kimball House, When I
arrived at this meeting the members
of that association were discussing an
editorial which had that afternoon ap
peared In The Georgian, strongly In
dorsing and advocating the local cot
ton exchanges In Atlanta as legitimate
Institutions and also the methods of
the New York rottnn exchange. After
a abort discussion by the members It
was unanimously voted that the ed
itorial In The Georgian wjs directly
antagonistic to the objects and pur
poses of their association In the stren
uous efforts they were making to break
up gambling tn futures in this state,
and that the editorial In question
should be bundled with gloves off. A
committee of five members was ap-
lanta Journal, containing not only ths
full article which I had prepared, but
also the cartoon which seems to have
glvtn you such a aevere case ot indi
gestion.
The Atlanta Credit Men's Association
W Mona responsible for tb* cartoon
which preseated you si such bad Hght
before the public, and for tho artlcls
I wrote, both of which they willingly
stand sponsor far.
With a knowledge of. these facts. If
you have arty manhood: you should at
onca withdraw the dirty and contempt
ible language used tq your editorial of
yesterday, and direct It at ths Atlanta
Credit Men's Association. It Is unfor
tunate for you and your paper that
you should hart used such strang and
Intemperate language unwittingly to
ward so large and distinguished a body
of business men In Atlanta.
Vain and Conesltsd.
You often refer In your despicable
editorial to the great amount of good
work you have accomplished for ths
Southern Cotton Association. You only
tried to-save the country with the die
-lay of an extraordinary amount of
jot air and achoolboy rhetoric, while
you ware an active candidate for the
United states senate. We have no):
heard of your aliening tha woods any

the maintenance of bucket shops and

only people from whom you quote In

those engaged In operating local cot

who are so active In thatr Aght against
the passage of the present anti-bucket
shop and local exchange bill

his admission, la, or was, until quite

Georgia farmers have lost In dealing
with their Institutions, but also give
you a Hat of the Individual names and
iusaea of each man. I hav* not th*
honor of their acquaintance, but they
seem to be boon companions At yours;
leastwise you aaem to love to quote
from them. I car* not to notice the
contemptible Insinuation* contained In
your extended effusion. They are be
neath the notice of respectability and
place you among that ctaaa of pigmies
which are looked upon as the least and
most InsIgnlAcant of God's creation.
It would appear that tha editor of
The Georgian Is too great to be criti

you utterly fall to sea yourself at

lt seems Inevitable that the Louisa
vllle and Nashville railroad and th*
city of Atlanta will soon be mixed up
In lively litigation. Mayor Woodward
received a communication from Milton
H. Smith, president of the Loulsvin*
and Nashville, Friday, stating that ths
railroad would not accept ths condi
tions in the ordinance pertaining to th*
Louisville and Nashville railroad yards
on East Hunter street.
The ordinance, pasted at the last ses
sion of council, after several months of
pow- wowing between the officials of
the city and of the railroad, allows
three openings on East Hunter street
to the yards and one on Butler street.
President Smith In hla communica
tion states that cutting off each of th*
tracks eight feet, as is provided In th*
ordinance, would be a loss of 7 per
cent of the car space in the yards, that
an average cohl car holds 40 tons and
that this would mean that the yards
would be decreased In capacity 1(q
tons a day or 48,000 tons In 100 days
He further states that moving back
the tracks from the sidewalk would
mean a loss of 3,600 square feet of th*
yards and suggests as a substitute for
the ordinance that four more opening!
be allowed and that the tracks remain
up against the sidewalk.
This suggestion of the president of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
which really amounts to telling the city
council what It should do, has angered
a number of the city officials and alto
several members of council who bars
seen the communication.
At the present time there Is but one
opening to the yards on Hunter street
and one on Butler street. Mayor
Woodward said Friday that, as Presi
dent Smith had refused to comply with
the ordinance, the yard would remain
ns It now Is with only the two open
ings until the matter Is settled In the
courts.
There Is some possibility of the
Louisville and Nashville's attempting
to remove the barriers. If such an ef
fort Is made the street will be patrolled
by the city police and by force the
railroad men will be detained from
carrying out any such project.
