IVE TAKE IMPRESSION AND PUT IN YOUR TEETH SAME DAY. UP ON ROME SHORTAGE READY FOR COUNCI Sexton and Marshal Claim They Can Clear Their Administration. sGOSSIP OF; STATESMEN AND- POLITICIANS Secretary Charlie Korthen Is not a heartless man. He reels for his fel low man. He can even do noble and unselfish things. For some days prior to last Wednes day the big bottle of Llthla water uc- eustomed to stand on Ills desk to tht left of the president was missing. Members floated up and after trying the faucet and Ilndlng a drouth, went ■way Brick Miller threatened to In troduce a resolution to require the sec retary to keep the necessary Irrigating substance on hand. Thursday morning the bottle, filled to the bursting point with cool, limpid Llthla aqua. Invited the thirsty. By way of parenthesis it Is stated that the •cue to the members was held Wednes day afternoon. And the crowd about that fount of coolness all during the session Thursday was about like a watermelon cutting In Darktown. And (Secretary Northen smiled benlgnantly upon them, nnd now and then took n refreshing alp himself. 8enator McHenry, with accustomed eloquence and vehemence, was making the sAmte rafters ring In advocating his Western and Atlantic lease. The senate hung breathless on his every utterance. Then one of the porters ripped Ihe lop off a crate of luscious peaches from the experiment station. Tho ubiqui tous pages moved on the feast as a unit. Some senator way to the rear caught sight of a big red-cheeked [teach half burled in the eager mouth of a amall boy. ■ Indian peaches, by gosh.” he ejacu lated and made ft rush. Others saw the precipitate frontal attack, and watched curiously for the cause. They ■aw, hesitated and fell. In a moment half the senate membership had moved to get some of the loot. In a few minutes more everybody was com placently munching fruit. After that. Senator McHenry's elo quence fell on deaf ears. The vote on the Williams bill to elect the railroad commissioners by the peo ple was on. The author's name la the last on the roll call. Ho had spoken for the meas ure, fought for It, and asserted that It "was the crowning glory of his political career.” The call* of senators on the passage of the bill progressed to ''Senator Williams.” No response. "Senator Williams,” In a tone heard in the corridors.. Deep silence answered. ' Senator William*.” rumbled th# call. Then Williams came out of his rev- ■'Bo It enacted that from and after this date that all Methodist preachers be fleeted by the 'dear people’ without reference to past or present or future political affiliations.” Somebody facetiously drafted the above the other day. and said he thought U a good Idea for tho senate to puss It since the demand was ti elect everything and body by the peo pie. Senator Copelan aaya that the 'cuo Wednesday didn't fenze him. but It had a bad effect on his watch. He came the senate chamber at ten minutes eleven Thursday morning, and was sur prised to see everybody down to work. “What you fellows meeting before o’clock for?” ho asked. "Copelan. Fm surprised at you.” said Senator Wheatley. "Our regular hour for meeting Is 10 o’clock and It la now near ll. Ain't you over that barbecue yet?” ‘‘It'a all the fault of my watch. S played me a mean trick at an Inop. portune moment." The senate Isn't talking any, but neverthsless It Isn't passing any house bills except local measures, gad mast of the senators have a personal Inter est In such bills. And the lid's going to stay down until the house gets good and passes some eenate measures, they assert of Berrien, made Mr. Knlrhf, speech Friday. Mr. Smith, of Greene, didn’t Possibly by Monday the members of the house and aenate will get over the effects of the barbecue. As a presiding officer Mr. Butts, of Glynn Is a howling success. It was ru mored around the house Friday that the gentleman from Brunswick had been practicing for tho job and had asked the speaker to give him one chance before the session was over. The house wouldn't pass the anti- cutsing bill. It Is rumored that the military com mittee of the senate has a aub-rosa chapter In the house. Mr. Bose, of Upson, has a son In the houee os a page. He lost the little fel low at tho barbecue the other day. but then the gentleman from Upson says he was trying to keep up with Madison Bell, and those who were with him.

Clements Shafer, MANAGER, 413-14 Peters Building, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. By Frirsts Leased Wlr*. New York, Aug. 4.—At tbe request of Kellogg and Boss, counsel for Greene and Gaynor, under conviction for embexslemen In connection with harbor Improvements at Savannah, Go., the attorney general of the United States has fixed September 37 as the date for the examination by the gov ernment of Greene and Gaynor In their clalme non' pending against the gov ernment In the court of claims.

"This Is thb action,” said Mr. Kel logg, "brought by the Atlantic Con tracting Company, under which name Greene and Gaynor did business, against the government to recover damages for breach of the same con tracts which formed the basis ot the charges on which they were recently convicted at Savannah. Our cllenta claim amounts to 3350,000 actually earned and certified by the government qfllcera In addition to over 3100,000 In profits on work remaining to be done.” LICENSE INSPECTORS ARE AFTER SOLICITORS By W. O. CLEMENT. 8peclal to The Georgian. Romo, Oa., Aug. 4.—As a sequel the report of the expert auditors, dis closing the alleged shortage of the late Halsted Smith, former city clerk, ad ditional charges are made against W. 8. Simmons, deputy marshal, and C. King, city sexton, who held office dur ing Smith’s administration, alleging that they were also short In their ac counts. Since the publication of his alleged shortage, Simmons is said to havo cleared himself by producing receipts of moneys paid to Smith, which amounts were charged to him by the auditor's report. Always Took Vouchors. In speaking of the charges, Simmons said: '1 never, all during my term of of- % flee as deputy marshal, paid a cent Into* the clerk’s office without taking a voucher for It, and as for jthe charges fla to my shortage, I have receipts which speak for themselves.” King Csn Account for All. Former City Sexton King, In speak ing of the charges against him, said: 'As to the report of my alleged shortage, I can account for every cent received by me and paid over to tho city clerk during my term of office. As to the fees I am reported to have received for the salo of lots and the digging of graves and having not made proper returns, I will be able to dis prove. It has been the custom for ne groes to dig their own graves, at least. It Was during my term of office. The records show that during my adminis tration there were 206 lots sold to ne groes at $4.10 per lot. In order to obtain a deed for them the money had to first be paid to the city clerk/’ Auditor's Report. In A. J. Haltlwanger’8 report to tho mayor and city council he says,' in reference to the books In the clerk’s office: “We have had to deal with such ma terial ns we could gather. In the clerk’s offico there Is no such entry as a collection of taxes not on digest. Every one familiar with the collection of taxes known that there Is quite a volume of money collected In this way. This entire sum 1« a total loss to the city. Had the stubs been obtainable every dollar could have been easily traced. Back of this period (1894) there are not only no stubs, receipt* and checks, but there are no digests. The Crude records attempted to be kept nre not h perfect chain, many of the books being missing.” Mr. flnltlwanger supplement* his re port with tho statement that he can prove every dollar of the shortage named In his report. Bond Is Worthless. As several of the original bondsmen of the late Halsted Smith are either dead or havo loft the .state, and «n the latter bond given by the United State* Fidelity and Guaranty Company Is so hedged about with conditions, compe tent legal advisers of the city maintain that there can be no recovery from this surety. This being true, It means that the total peculsted sum shown by the aud itor’s report of $34,686.60 Is a total loss to the city, unless the municipal corporation can legally recover the amount of the valuation of the Smith estate. What the value of this estate Is remains a problem, but It is supposed to be far below tbe amount of the al leged shortage. Insuranos Money Held. The country residence of the late Halsted Smith was destroyed by fire three weeks ago, which was Insured for $4,860. Tho executors ore trying to collect this Insurance, but ths city ask* the court to restrain them from doing so, which petition has been tem porarily granted. If the city can col lect this Insurance It will be that much toward the recovery on the shortage. Tho city further alleges in its pe tition for Injunction that a large por tion of the alleged shortage was used to pay premiums upon the Insurance on the life of tho late Halsted Smith, and that In view of this fact, the city Is entitled to recover this insurance.
