THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. UTKnXRfiDAY. AT'OT'ST 15. l**r. OFFER IS MADE TO ERECT HERE URGE ABATTOIR WARDEN SECURED MONEY TO SEND STRICKEN FAMILY ON WAY TO BURY ITS DEAD Private Parties Agree to Put Up Hygienie and Clean Plant. Atlanta la destined to have a cen- tml abattoir, one which will be modern In every detail and will In every par 11> ular carry out the apeclflcatlons of tile meat ordinance after ita passage by council Monday, If a pronoaltlon made to the apedal committee la ac cented. Dr. C. F. Benson, prealdent of the board of health, ,which held Joint aeaelon with the apeelai commit tee appointed to Invest Igate the prea ent methoda of local butchera, elated In the meeting that he had been promhed by reaponslble partlea who " ere willing to erect a 1100,000 alaugh ter houae If the city council and board of health would give the enterprise their backing. The pru|>oaitlon met auch Immediate approval from the committeemen and butchera In attendance that It waa do elded to have a committee Investigate rites around the city and to ascertain whether or not there la a proper local ity for auch a plant. fail U'olfshelmer also stated that he wna willing to build a central slaughter Iwuae where, for a stipulated sunt, all the smaller meat men could have their cattla slaughtered. The ordinance, drawn by City At torney James L, Mayaon, was present- ed In printed form to members of the c onmlttee, members of the hoard of health and to the local butchers. Attorney William D. Thompson, rep- r< entlng the local butchera, first took tho floor and suggested a number of minor changes to be made In the ordl nance. He asked that wooden posts, cut off even with the concrete flooring, he allowed at regular distances In the abattoirs, sons to facilitate the penning up of cattle; that hot water be allowed Instedd of steam; that instead of ago being stipulated relative to the slaugh ter of calves, weight be substituted, and that the time riven the Inspectors to reucli the abattoirs, after notifica tion, be shortened. Carl Wolfahelmer stated at first that flic ordinance was not applicable to Atlanta, and that If It were enforced many butchera would be run nut of business. He asked that Western meats should be given the same In sertion as local meats. He argued against the refrigerating plants being connected with the abattoirs nnd spoke on a number of other points, finally offering to build a central abattoir him self. Dr. C. It. Jolly stated that the ordi nance, although It might seemingly work a hardship for a short time, was ■ he only method of building up the local market, as had been proven In other cities; that It would greatly ben efit the local men In the long run. Dr. H. <1. Carnes stated that a cen tral abattoir was the proper thing to have, whether It be owned by the mu nicipality or by private citizens. Dr. Benson. In stating that there were certain parties who wished to build a large plant, said they were citizens of Atlanta. He refused to give out the names. The meeting adjourned to meet Benin Friday afternoon when any writ len suggestions will be considered. After a X-hour delay, caused by the refusal of J. A. Thomas, acting In his official capacity as agent of the Geor gia railroad, to gtee the usual charity reduction In railroad fare, A. T. Evans, of 25 McDonald street, and his six small children accompanied the bodies of Mrs. Evans and the two-weeks-old Infant to Washington, Ob., Wednesday morning. The family left the city on the 7:45 o'clock train. Full fare was paid, as the railroad positively refused to give any reduc tion whatever. City Warden Evans stated Wednes day morning that this was the first case where a railroad had refused to give the 2-cent charity rate when re quested by the city to do so. The mayor’s request that the charity rate be given was added to that of tbe city warden. The peculiar sadness of the double death anil the poverty of the family along with the strange action of the railroad makes this case unique In every particular. Norman, the two-weeks-old Infant of A. T. Evans, an engineer for the De- I.0Bch Mill Manufacturing Company, died Monday morning. During the following night the mother passed sud denly away, unattended by physicians, and while the other members of tho household slept. Six children, the oldest 14 years, were left to the father. Gave Clothes to Shroud Body. The poverty of the family can be realized when It Is known that Mrs. Adelia J. Chapman, superintendent of the Home for Incurables, had to give her personal clothing so that the moth er could, be properly shrouded. The family was without food and without money, when the city warden' attention was called to the case. Im mediate relief was given by the city as well as by the employees of the Mill Manufacturing Company and the At lanta Hosiery Company, where the children had worked until Illness and lack of food had made It Impossible for them to work'longer. City War den Evans applied for the charity rate for the family and two bodlee. The pe tltlon was refused and In consequgi Instead of getting off on the 1:10 ti Tuesday afternoon as was flyst plan ned, the family had to Walt until Wed nesday morning before leaving Atian to. Money Was Mads Up. The city paid $14.01 of the expenses and the Atlanta Hosiery Company paid the remaining II which' would have been the charity reduction If the rail road had not seen fit to refuse It. City Warden Evans stated Wednes day that the railroads did not lose anything by giving the charity rate, and that the only motive in the Geor gia Railroad, through Its agent, J, A. Thomas, refusing to give It was the fart that the railroad had no opposi tion to Washington, and hoped to wring the regular fare out of the city, or the destitute family, as It was known that the bodies would be taken to the city named and that the chll dren could not be left In Atlanta. The story which appeared In Tues day’s Georgian telling exclutdrVy of the heartlesaness of the railroad has caused widespread amazement and comment throughout the city, and City Warden Evans nas been called uprg by a number of citizens who have proifer red their assistance.

The Investigation committee of the filing term of this case was reached, house of representative appointed last week to report on the charges pre ferred ogalnst Judge John H. Martin, of the superior court of the Oconee circuit, reported back to the house on Tuesday afternoon, censuring the Judge for neglect In one case, but ex onerating him from any misconduct or malice. The committee recommends that no further action be taken. The charges against Judfce Martin were preferred by Samuel Greer and a committee, of which Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb county, tvas chairman, appointed. The committee's report In full Is as follows: . Report of the Committee. Mr. Speaker: Your committee to whom you referred the charges against Hon. John H. Murtln, Judge of the superior court of the uconee circuit, In the memorial of Samuel Greer Hied In the house of representatives at Its iresent session, beg leave to report as i'ollowa: •'We have. In accordance with In structions contained In the resolution, examined the charges and taken the testimony of witnesses for both par ties. We find on August 5, 1405, as set forth In the memorial of Samuel Greer, that In tho case of Andrews vs. Greer et nl., the said John II. Martin, Judge of the aforesaid circuit, did, on the Mh day of August, 1405. grant a temporary restraining order and up- ailht a temporary receiver for rertaln lotcl property as set forth In the mem orial.

Aug. 1$.—Henry Clews, J> -on of tha banker and prominent socially, according to news Just re- < lived hare, la living In Paris, where >k Is devoting himself to achieving a ■ - i-utatlon In literary work. He haa ;.j»t completed a drama In blank verse in collaboration with Fernand Bern- nn!, the French dramatist. The title --r the play Is "La Puuverte Des Hi.-h. < tThe Poverty of the Rich), a . million which Mr. Clews ought to be qualllled to write about, for he has at- way* been surrounded by great wealth. The play has been accepted for pro- du< tlon on the Paris stage. Mr. Clewa will undertake an English translation of It for performance In London. Young Mr. Clews surprised society in 1401 by naming Mrs. Frederick Gebbardt four reeks after she had obtained a divorce n Dakotn. plaintiff, and without* notice to the said Samuel Greer. "We find that upon the application for this temporary restraining order nnd the appointment of a receiver, a heating was hail and the case was submitted to the Judge, on the 4th day of October. 1405, and tjiat no decision In ssld case was tnntle by the Judge until the second dny of July, 1904. Me find further, that both the defendant anti his counsel were constantly urging anti appealing to the Judge, the Hon. John II. Murtln, to render his decision In the said case; that the decision was not rendered until the 2d dsy of July, 1904, depriving the defendant, the said Samuel Greer, of the opportunity of having mid case heard In the supreme court until the next October, 1904, term thereof. "We further find that when tho that the hehrlng on the application for the temitorary restraining order and the appointment of the receiver had not been decided by the court, and that, without deciding the question of the appointment of receiver, the Judge re talned the temporary receiver appoint ed on the ex parte application, aa aforesaid, and referred the said case to the Hon. Eschsl Graham, and that said case Is now pending befora him aa id the property Is still such auditor, atr ... In the hands of the receiver as afore said, after the appointment of the au ditor as aforesaid. ’’We are compelled to find and report that the Judge has been negligent In this matter, and that by reason of his negligence the defendants In this case have been deprived of a prompt and speedy hearing and determination of the question, as required by the laws of the state. It Is to be said, however, that there Is much excuse of ths Judge from his standpoint for his course In this matter. During n portion of this time he was Incapacitated for work by reaeon of serious aliment, and at all times he has bten very much pressed with the business of Ills courts. The Judge very frankly ndmltted to the committee that he had been negli gent In reference to the matter, and expressed his regret for the same. "We do not And, however, that he tvas actuated by anything but the high est motives, nnd that he had not the slightest desire to do any wrong to the defendant but w# are compelled to submit that the defendnnt, the said Hamuel Greer, had Just grounds for feeling that the law had not been ad ministered In this case as It should have been, nnd that he had been de prived by the Judge'/ delay of his legsl rights. We find.that the said Samuel Greer In tiling said memorial was not actu ated hy nny motive of malice or III win In the Hon. John H. Martin, hut solely for the purpose of having ths Judge to pass upon said case. As we said before, the evidence acquits Judge Martin of any Intention of wrong doing or of oppression of the plaintiff, but his failure to act in the matter una due solely to negligence on his pnrt; we therefore report to the house that we do not And nnythlng In the bargee contained In l)ie memorial that equlres any further Investigation or action uinm the part of the house of representatives."

The last morning session of th* house of repreeentatlvee was occupied In passing a few senate bills and In receiving the reports pf several com mlttees. The greater part of the sea- alon was consumed In the passage of Senator Candler's bill providing for re quiring all corporations to register an nually In the office of the secretary of state and pay a fee of $1. This measure was passed In the face of strong opposition and a motion to reconsider was lost Late In the day Mr. Felder, of Bibb, again moved to recon- ■Mar the bill and a motion to ta ble the reconsideration was lost, show ing a change or feeling among some members. The reconsideration was still pending when the house adjourned for the midday recess. Mr. Felder made the charge that the bill was down only for the purpose of adding to the salary, of the secretary of state. Under Its previsions the secre tary Is allowed $1,200 a year from the fees so gained and he Is made commis sioner of corporations. His assistant Is to receive $400 ay ear from the fees of registration. A night session has not yet been called for, but will almost certainly be held, as has been * the custom for many yearn. The usual fun of the closing session III probably be enjoyed by the more frivolous members, while others are trying hard to get delayed measures through the house before the last rap of the speaker's gavel. The house convened at 8:20 o'clock. The bill of Senator Westbrook tc require all mills on Georgia streams to provide passageways for Ash where streams are closed by dams occasioned lengthy debate. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, opposed the measure, saying that It would cripple small mills. Mr. Cal loway, of Lee, explained that such passageways do not Interfere with the operation of tho mills. Mr. Mann, of Dougherty, spoke for the measure. Mr. Brinson, of Decatur, also urged the passage of the measure. Mr. McMullen, of Hart, opposed the measure. The hill failed to receive the required majority and was loat, Candler Bill.Taken Up. The bill of Senator Candler was taken up. It provides that all cor' poratlons register In the ofAee of ths secretary of state and pay a fee of $1 for the Arst year and 50 cents for each succeeding year. Ths bill Is Intended to provide the tax collectors with In formation regarding the corporations. Boykin Wright, of Richmond, spoke at length for the bill. Mr. Felder, of Bibb, opposed the measure. The bill passed. Mr. Felder moved to reconsider on the ground that ths opposition had been given no oppor tunlty for debate. * "We know that this bill was passed for no reason on earth except to In crease the salary of the secretary of state,” he said. "I know It Is not a popular move to stand on this Aoor and defend corporations, but I want to show the house what It has done. I urge the pnsssge of the amendment I have sub mitted, exempting such corporations as are Incorporated by the Judgment of superior courte." , The motion to reconsider waa lost, on motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb, senute bill No. 178, relative to the payment of pensions, waa tabled. The house concurred In the sanste amendment to a bill to create the city court of Montlcello. On motion of Mr. Lane, of Jasper, senate bill No. 180, ot prescribe the quailAratlons of teachera In common schools, was tabled.
