'.THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. OFFER IS TO ERECT UGEJBATTOIB Private Parties Agree to Put Up Hygienic and Clean Plant. WARDEN SECURED MONE Y 70 SEND STRICKEN FAMILY ON WAY TO BURY ITS DEAD Atlanta Is destined to have n cen tral abattoir, one which will be modern In every detail and will In every par ticular carry out the specifications of the meat ordinance after Its passage by council Monday, if a proposition made to the special committee In ac cepted. Dr. ('. F. Benson, president of the boot'd of health, which held joint session with the special commu tes appointed to Investigate the pres ent methods of local butchers, stated In the meeting that he had been ap proached by responsible parties who were willing to erect a $100,000 slaugh ter house if the city council and board of health would give the enterprise their backing. The proposition met such Immediate approval from the committeemen ami butchers In attendance that It was de cided to have a committee investigate sites around the city and to ascertain whether or not there is a proper local ity for such a plant. Carl Wolfshelmer also stuted that he was willing to build a central slaughter house where, for a stipulated sum, all the smaller meat men could have their cattle slaughtered. The ordinance, drawn by City At torney James I,. Muyson, was present ed In printed form to members of the committee, members of the board of health and to the local butchers. Attorney William D. Thompson, rep resenting the local butchers, first took the floor and suggested a number of minor changes to be made in the ordi nance. He asked that wooden posts, cut eft even with the concrete flooring, be allowed Ht regular distances In the abattoirs, so as to facilitate the penning up of cattle; that hot water be allowed Instead of steam; that Instead of age being stipulated relative to the slaugh ter of calves, weight be substituted, and that the time given the Inspectors to reach the abattoirs, after notifica tion, be shortened. Carl Wolfshelmer stated at first tl at the ordlnonco was not applicable to Atlanta, and that If It were enforced many butchers would he run out of business. Ho asked that Western meats should he given the came In spection as local meats. He argued against the refrigerating plants i.»»lng connected with the abattoirs and spoke on a number of other points, finally offering to build a central abattoir him self. Dr. C. R. Jolly stated that the ordl nance, although It might seemingly work a hardahlp for a short time, the only method of building up the local market, as had been proven In other cities; that It would greatly hen eflt the local men In the long run. Dr. H. G. Carnes stated that a cen tral abattoir was the proper thing to .have, whether it be owned by the mu nlclpallty or by private citizens. After a 16-hour-delay, caused by the refusal of J. A. Thomas, acting In his official capacity as agent of the Geor gia railroad, to give 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, Ga., Wednesday morning. The faintly left the city on the 7:45 o'clock train. Full fare was paid, ns the nrtlrond positively refused to give any reduc tion whatever. City Warden Evans stated Wednes day morning that this was the first ense 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 the city warden. The peculiar sadness of the double death and the poverty of tlie family along with the strange action of the railroad makes this case unique fn every particular. Norman, the two-weeks-old Infant of A. T. Evans, an engineer for the I>e- Loach 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 the household slept. Six children, the oldest 14 years, were left to the father. Gave Clothes to Shroud Body. The poverty of the family enn be realized when It Is known that Mrs. Adella .1. 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's attention was called to the case. Im mediate relief was given by the city as well ns by the employees of the Mill Manufacturing Company and the At lanta Hosiery Company, /.here 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 bodies. The pe tition was refused and In consequence, Instead of getting off on the 3:SO train Tuesday afternoon as was flyst plan ned, the family hnd to wait until Wed nesday morning before leaving Atlan ta. Money Was Made Up. Thfe city paid $14.65 of the expenses and the Atlanta Hosiery Company paid the remaining $5 which would have been the charity reduction If the rail road hnd not seen lit 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 fact 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 chil dren could not he left In Atlanta. The story which appeared In Tues day’s Georgian telling excluHl/.’y o the heartlessness of the railroad has caused widespread amazement and comment throughout the nty, and City Warden Evans has been called up<# by a number of citizens who have proffer- red their assistance.

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 maljce. The committee recommends that no further action bo taken. The charges against Judge Martin were preferred by Samuel Greer and a committee, of which Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb county, wns chnirmnn, appointed. The conunlttee’a report In full Is as follows: Report of the Committee. •'Mr. Speaker: Your committee to whom you referred the charges against Hon. John H. Martin, Judge of the superior court of the Oconee circuit. In the metnorlul of Hu mile! Greer filed In the house of representatives nt Its picsent session, beg leave to report as follows: M 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 6, 1805, as set forth in the memorial of SntiHiel Greer, that In the case of Andrew vs. Greer et n!., the said John H. Martin, Judge of the aforesaid circuit, did, on the 6th day of August, 1905, grant a temporary restraining order and ap point a temporary receiver for certain hotel property ns set forth In the mem orial, In the town of Fitzgerald. That the reeelvor was appointed on an ex parte application of the plaintiff, and without notice to the said Samuel Greer. •*\Ve find that upon the application for this temporary restraining order and the appointment of a receiver, a hearing wns hnd nryl the case wns submitted to the Judge, on the 4th day of October, 1805, and that no decision In said case was innde by the Judge until the second day of July, 1906. We tln«l further, that both the defendant and Ids counsel were constantly urging and appealing to the Judge, the Hon. John H. Martin, to render his decision In the said case; that the decision was not. rendered until the 2d day of July, 1906, depriving the defendant, the said Samuel Greer, of the opportunity of having said case heard in the supreme court until the next October, 1906, term thereo # . We further find that when the ATTACKED BY NEGRO, WOMAN DEFENDS SELF Contined from Paflo Out. by his face, even if he changed his lothes. "Wlfs Assaulted,” Says Hembree. Richard Hembree, husband of the woman who was assaulted, called at the police station Wednesday after noon. He asserted that his wife Imd been criminally assaulted, despite statements to the contrary made nt his home. He said his little boy had seen the negro lurking In the woods, as Mrs. Hembree went on the way to her mother's. He also said that n Mr. Mosely. who s n clerk nt a store In Battle Hill, had seen the negro loafing around In the trinity. Chief Turner wns notified of the .rime about 7 o'clock Wednesday morn ing Just as he was storting from his home to the court house. He respond ed immediately and reached the Hem bree home within twenty minutes after he had been summoned. Bloodhounds were soon secured nnd put on the trail. They wandered nr jnd through the ountry all the morning, but evidently became befuddled and little hope Is entertained of finding the negro through their efforts. Several Negroes Held. Several negroes have been arrested mi suspicion. Chief Turner, of the ounty police, brought to the Tower Al bert Sewell, whom he t aught about 19 lock. J The negr* that the hearing on the application for the temporary restraining order and the appointment of the receiver Imd not been decided by the court, and that, without deciding the question of the appointment of rerejvor, the Judge re tained the temporary receiver appoint ed on the ex parte application, as aforesaid, nnd referred the said case to the Hon. Eschal Graham, and that said case Is now pending before him as such auditor, nnd the property is still In the hnndH of the receiver as afore said, after the appointment of the au ditor ns aforesaid. "We are compelled to find nnd report that the Judge has been negligent In this matter, nnd tlmt 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 the Judge from his standpoint for his course In this matter. During n portion of this time he was Incapacitated for work by reason of serious ailment, and at nil times he has been very much pressed with the business of his courtH. The Judge very frunkly admitted to the committee that he had been negli gent In referenco to the matter, and expressed his regret for the same. "We do not find, however, that he was actuated by anything but the high est motives, nnd that he hnd not the slightest desire to do any wrong to the defendant; but we are compelled to submit that the defendant, the said Samuel 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 hnd been de prived by the Judge's delay of his legal rights. "We find that the snid 8ntmiel Greer In filing said memorial was not actu ated by any motive of malice or ill will to the Hon. John II. Martin, but solely for the purpose of having the Judge to pass upon said case. As we said before, the evidence ncqults Judge Martin of any Intention of wrong doing or of oppression of the plaintiff, but his failure to art In the matter was due solely to negligence on his part; we therefore report to the house that we do not And anything In the charges contained In the memorinl that requires any further Investigation or action upon the part of the house of representatives." The last morning session of the house of representatives was occupied In passing a few senate bills and In receiving the reports of several com mittees. The greater part of the ses sion 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 sider 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 pencil nr when the house adjourned for the midday' recess. Mr. Felder made the charge that the bill wns driAvn only for the purpose of adding to the salary of the secretary of state. Lnder Its provisions the secre tary Is allowed $1,200 a year from the fees so gained and he Is made commls sioner of corporations. His assistant is to receive $800 ay ear from the fees of registration. night session has not yet been called for, but will almost certainly bo held, ns has been the custom for many yearn.

The bill passed, Mr. Felder moved to reconsider on the ground that the opposition had been given no oppor tunity for debate. "Wo know that this bill was passed f«y no reason on earth except to In crease the salary of the secretary of state,” he said.
