‘If You Don’t Do
Something, City
Will,” He Says.
COMPANY BEGINS
TO TAKE NOTICE
Committee Did Nothing On
Tuesday Because of Lack
of Quorum.
"If th. iu company doe. not do
something the city will own It. gas
plant a. sure aa the sun rises In the
east and sets in the west," said Aider-
man James L. Key, chairman of the
special gas Investigating committee, to
T. A. Hammond, attorney for the At
lanta Oas Lighting Company, Wednes
day afternoon.
The mien-of the gas company has
undergone a remarkable change since
th. election In which there was such
a clamor for municipal control.
When Alderman Key first declared
the gas company should be investi
gated the officials of the monopoly
hooted at the Idea.
Now they wish to patch matters up
and. It possible, to stop the Investiga
tion.
The special committee was to hold
stsslon Wednesday, but It was found
Impossible to get a quorum. Alderman
Key and Councllmen Draper and Cur
tis were the only members In attend
ance. After waiting some time, during
which there was a spirited conversation
between Alderman Key and Attorney
llammond. the meeting was adjourned
until next week.
To Formulate Report Later.
Because of Labor day, council will
adjourn-at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon
and hold'session at tho regular hour
on Tuesday. This will glvo tho Inves
tigating committee sufficient time to
hold another meeting, during which
the report, to be considered by council,
will be formulated.
The report will be similar to the one
presented by the committee to council
at a recent session. This was returned
so It could be put In more concise
form. The principal features of the
new report will be' a provision for
Inspectors to look after gas met.rs, a
bureau of complaint, where any one
may report his grievances against the
company and have them Investigated
by the city, and th. amendm.nt to the
city charter allowing the people to
build and operate a gas plant If It la
desired.
“W.’ll See What May Be Done.”
Although there was no meeting
Wednesday, Mr. Key and Mr. Ham
mond had a long talk, during which
th. gas light attorney asked the aider-
man to put what he wanted In writing
and the gas company would see what
could be done. "Just tell us what you
want don., Mr. Key,” said Mr. Ham
mond, "and maybe all this alleged In
vestigation can be cut short.”
In rtply, Mr. Key said:
"The city wants your company to
make only a fair Income from your In
vestment; wants your meters Inspected
by a city Inspector who can represent
the people In all controversies, and the
city wants you to pay a fair and equit
able sum for the franchise under which
you do business."
Mr. Hammond asked that this be put
In writing, so that the company could
thoroughly understand It.

SS MESSAGE SENT
ATLANTA TO THE SEA
PERTURBED PACKERS
SEEK SECY. WILSON; '
“ WHERE ARE WE AT?'
Washington. D. C„ Aug. 30.—Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson today held
another qeance with the perturbed rep
resentatives of packers and food dis
tributing agents, to find where they
will stand when the meat inspection
law takes effect.
Packers' representatives from all
over the meat country came to discuss
the matter with the secretary. Chief
Chemist Wiley and Dr. Melvin, chief
of the bureau of animal Industry. The
gathering was larger than the previous
one which considered the same set of
problems.
The packers have been rather unduly
deliberate- about getting ready to com
ply with the new label requirements
Imposed jointly by the pure food and
meat Inspection laws. Now they are
fearful that they cannot poslbly get
their labels ready for use by October
1, when the Inspection law will be In
effect. They wunt the department to
show them a way out of their troubles;
If not that then at least to look sympa
thetic and say a few kind words.
Instead the departments countenance
Is as atdne, and the only language It
knows Is the letter of the law.

BLACKS TO WORK HARD

nee. League.
In the absence of the president,
Booker T. Washington, who was at

committee, the aeaslon wa. called to
order by the third vice president of
the league, Charles Ranke, a coal black
negro, who la caahler of the bahk at
Mound Bayou, the negro eetllement In
Mlealialppl.
The reporti from eeveral of the na
tional officers, which were scheduled
to come Immediately after the Invoca
tion by Rev. H. H. Proctor, were omit
ted, and the first subject on th* list
was taken up for discussion, ’The
Negro In Agriculture.”
Isaiah T. Montgomery, founder of
the negro city of Mound Bayou, Miss.,
was the Hrst speaker. ’ Montgomery
was said to have been at one time the
largest cotton producer In the United
Stales, and In a well-set and stirring
address he called upon his people to
realise the need of working out their
own salvation. On* of the molt sig
nificant statements he made wa* when
he declared that two-nfths of th* cot
ton produced In this country today Is
grown by negroes, who elth*r own or
teas* the farms on which they plant.
Deal Jackson Speaks.
The next speaker was Deal Jack-
son, of Albany, aa.. and his talk was
easily the feature ot the morning aea
slon. Jackson, like Banks and Mont
gomery. Is of the coal black type, with
a little pointed bit of wbltkers bob
bing oft from the end of hi* chin, and at Ti
lots of gold teeth In his mouth, which
h* seems to take great pride In show
Ing. Jackson Is an uneducated negro
with a fondness for long words, which
he frequently gets mixed up, to the
delight of his audience. He was lis
tened to with close attention, however,
and when his time was up frequent
cries from All over the hall of ”g6 on."
"keep it up." etc., catteed him lo keep
on talking for several minutes.
He told of his early etruggtes; how
he had started out *lth one mute and
plowed day after day and hauled hie
produce to Albany with his "britches"
rotted up lo his knees, but how he was
able to buy another mule tha second
year, and another the third year, and
sq on, until now he owns two thousand
acres of good land In Dougherty coun
ty and has all of bis own farming Im
plements.
"They say a nigger can’t work nig
gers," he said, "but I know batter.
Come down yonder and 1 will show you
where I have over a hundred on my
plantation, and I don’t have no trouble
In getting help, fee got lots of young
nlggera working for me that’ll soon be

"You may tell me about the 'ploomera -

It might be mentioned that for tha last
ten years Jackson has regularly pro
duced the first bale of cotton to be
marketed In Dougherty county, and It
usually brings him about twice the
market value.

[By Prlrate Leased Wire.
|New York, Aug. 30.—Cheered by a
tremendous crowd, Including asmall but
enthusiastic number of his old neigh
bors, his "home folks," from Nebraska,
William J. Bryan landed In Manhattan
Boday at 4:05 p.m.
■The big throng of admirers acted as
plough they would have liked to havo
taken the Nebraskan to themselves nnd
literally "toted” him up Broadway to
his hotel, but the big squad of police
men directed by Inspector Schmlttber-
ger kept the crowd well In check.
Mr. Bryan left the Yacht llllni of
|hla friend, E. F. Goltra, at nbout 4
In the yacht's tender. He was
accompanied by Mr. Goltra, Lewis Nix
on and one or two other members of
the committee of reception.
On reaching the hotel Victoria Mr.
Bryan was shown at once to his suites
whither Mrs. Bryan and hts daughter
had preceded him.
■He was not long to rest, however,
but In a few minutes descended to
the rooms where the delegations from
pie various states were awpltlng him.
|New York, Aug. 30.—This was Bryan
day In New York.
■The Nebraskan must have thought
of the old campaign days long before
the time set for the real big demonstra
tion of the day arrived. He »p«at the
nlghl aboard Edward Goltra's yacht,

gono aboard the yacht at a little after
midnight from the home of Lewla
Nixon on Staten Island.
Ht Goss Ovar Speach.
Mrs. Bryan and her daughter hml
gone quietly to the Hotel Victoria,
where a suite had been provided tor
them. Mr. Bryan rose early today and
prepared for tho strenuous reception
which hla friends have provided for
him. He made numerous appointments
for each hour of the day up to the
time set for hla departure from the
yacht from pier A at Battery A, and
all day long the yacht's tender whs
busy carrying visitors to and fro.
He spent the first hour or so after
breakfast In going over hts speech, to
be delivered tonight In Madison Square
Garden. He declared that he never
felt better In hla life, and looked It.
Lewlx Nixon was one of tho first
caller* and he was followed by other
members of the official reception com
mittee.
Cheered From Beata.
Every up-river boat seemed to know
the llllni, and whenever Mr. Bryan's
well known face waa sighted he waa
cheered In no uncertain fashion.
At Mr. Nixon's Invitation, Mr. Bryan,
at about 10:30 o'clock went aboard
Mr. Nixon's house boat, the Lougoun.
and there met members ot the ofTV-lal
reception committee and prominent
New York Democrats, with whom h«
had mads appointments yesterday.
Those Included were O.'H. F. Belmont,
Norman E. Mack, Daniel J. Campau,
of Michigan, and others. Mayor Brown,
ot Bryan's home town, Lincoln, Nebr,
[also saw him.
Bryan Was Sea Stole.
During the voyage Mr. Bryan had to
pay the tribute exacted by old Nep
tune. He was sea sick, not very bad.
but undeniably aea sick. He took an
active part In the life of tho ship. At
the concert he made a graceful and
pleasant speech, which he began with
a humorous story, at the expense of
Roger Foster, a lawyer, who had been
introduced to him.
Mr. Foster had spoken In very flat
tering terms of Mr. Bryan and In bis
speech Mr. Bryan remarked that It re
minded him at so engagement he had
once to make* ueech, nnd when he
was asked how ne would like to be In
troduced.
"I naked him,” said th* Nebraskan,
to refer to me as ‘Mr. Bryan, a law
yer of Jacksonville.’ I had just been
admitted to the bar, nnd wanted the
fact known. The chairman came to
me half a dozen times to be sure he
had It right, and finally Introduced
me. saying: 'Mr. O'Brien will now
spake.’"
He Enjoyed Voyage.
I Asked If he had a pleasant voyage,
Mr. Bryan said:
"I have enjoyed the trip Immensely,
notwithstanding the fact that I have
been working most at the time. I have
been very busy preparing my article*
for publication, and during the last few
days 1 hava had to devote a lot of time
to the speech which l am to deliver at
the reception In New York to be given
to me on my arrival."
''Will you discuss politics In your
tepeech?"
*T will touch on politics slightly."
said he. Jokingly. “I cameo M it* ai

opportune time for such a discussion.''
