No Franchise From
City, It Is Alleged.
Co’s. History.
Alderman James L. Key has drafted
a resolution which he will Introduce
In council at the adjourned meeting
Tuesday afternoon calling attention to
the fact that the Atlanta Northern
Raijway Company, which operates the
street car line to Marietta, la using a
franchise to run its passenger and ex
press cars nvsr the streets of the city
without compensation to the city or
permission from the municipal authori
ties.
The resolution does not stop there.
Curiosity Is not the only thing which
prompts Aiderman Key. He wants the
Hty attorney to take the matter up
nnd report back a plan of procedure
for the city to enforce compensation.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution, which tells the story,
Is as follows:
"Whereas, The Atlanta Northern
Railway Company la using a public
franchise to run Its passenger and ex
press cars over the streeta of the city
of Atlanta; nnd, whereas, said com
pany has no permission of the munlcl
pul authorities to exercise auch rights,
and the city doea not receive any com
pensntlon therefore, ,
"Resolved by the mayor and general
council of the city of Atlanta, That the
city attorney he requested to Inquire
Into the use that said company Is pitt
ing the streets of the city of Atlanta to
In running their, said cars, nnd report
what the rights of aald company an
tlie use of the streets, and what the
remedy of the city of Atlanta Is to
enforce compensation for the rights to
the use of the streets."
A Little History.
Behind the name of the Atlanta
Northern Railway Company there Is
a little story. It dates back to the
time when the Atlanta Rapid Transit
Company nnd the Atlanta Consolidated
Street Hallway Company really did
consolidate. There was a clause In
serted In the permission given by coun
cil stipulating that the consolidated
company was to pay the city 2 1-2 per
cent Income tax. This was agreed to.
The city has been getting Its Income
tax regularly.
But when It came to building the
Atlanta Northern Hallway Company
the Income tax was a consideration.
So It was decided to change the name
of the company. Therefore, the At
lanta Northern. The Georgia Railway
nnd Electric Company owns the Atlan
ta Northern Railway Company. The
formality of securing s frsnchlse was
dispensed with—also the formality of
paying the city the 2 1-2 per cent In
come tax. Hence the resolution of
Alderman Key.
There promises to he something do

IRATE MR. SULLIVAN BUILDS
FENCE EIGHTEEN FEET HIGH
TO HIDE HIS NEIGHBOR SCOTT
The neighborhood around Glenn nnd
Grunt streets nnd Georgia avenue Is
aroused over ft "spite fences—the Indig
nation running high ns the fence,
which Is IN fe«*t % heavenwards. The
fence is the work of S. W. Sullivan and
a competent corps of carpenters.
The obstacle to breexe nnd
beauty Is a work of art from the view
point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there
Is not only the skeleton of n two-story
structure, hut the framework of quite
a mile history.
nny yeurs ago \V. M. Scott, at prea-
one of the best known real estate
dealers of the city, who has his office
til 72 North Broad street, purchased
the lot nt the corner of Glenn and
Irani streets. The lot extended hack
tome 200 feet on Glenn street and Imd
i frontage of Lift feet on Grant. In
purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put In the
Iced the proviso that no house be
tween the residence lie would build nnd
he corner of Georgia avenue should
•xtend closer than f»0 feet to the slde-
tvnlk. lie then built his home, a 15-
•oom, 3-story, stone and frnme build
ing of elaborate design. Things went
Across the street three other houses
ere erected, all 2-story and some dis
tance hack from the sidewalk. 1/ #*ne
were occupied by K. P. Burns, K. I*.
King ami the Messrs. Reddell. start
ing from Glenn street nnd running to
ward Georgia avenue. At the corner
f Georgia avenue there was erected
Presbyterian church. After several
ears It was decided by the trustees of
he church to sell a portion of the
hurch lot. S. W. Sullivan bought It
and erected a small cottage near the
lreel line, thus cutting off the view
f the other houses and giving a ragged |
appearance to that side of the street.
Mr. Scott In consultation with the
owners of the three houses across the
street, declared that he would object
to the cottage. This got to the ears
of Mr. Sullivan.
Later Mr. Sullivan bought the Jot
next to the Scott home and also the
third lot from the home. On the lat
ter be built a frnme house and ex
tended a large heavy porch over the
stipulated 60-foot line. K. Hopkins,
who owns the adjoining property, made
no objection, and so Mr. Scott let the
matter slip, one month ago, however,
after returning from a trip to Atlnntp:
City, Mr. Scott wss surprised to see
the framework of a house next to his.
He found that the builder was Mr. Kul-
llvnn, and sent him a letter stating
that he would not allow the house to
lie built over the 50-foot line. Mr. Sul
livan continued to build nnd the house
extended seven feet past the line. Mr.
Scott held a consultation with his at
torneys and last Wednesday enjoined
Mr. Sullivan.
The work was stopped on the portion
of the house extending over the line,
while the other continued.
Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Scott, who had been nway from their
residence during the dfty, returned nnd
were again surprised. Between their
property and the Sullivan property was
the 16x50-foot "spite fence." Mrs. Scott
was told by her servants that Mr. Sul
livan had set his entire corps of car
penters nt work on the fence and had
hammered throughout the day, even
after sufficient nails had been
driven through the boards to build an
ark they had continued to hammer.
Mr. Sullivan will appear In court on
September It to show cause why he
should not tear down the portion of
his structure which extends over the
50-foot line.
ANOTHER DAY SPENT
IN COURT REARINI
OFCHURCH IN FIGHT
Much Matter Seemingly
Irrelevant Introduced
Saturday.
Another day has been spent by the
lawyers retained by the two factions of
the church, which was formerly known
as the First Cumberland Presbyterian
church, of Atlanta, In efforts to
vince Judge Pendleton of the equity of
their contentions.
The better psrt of the court day
was taken ,up by E. N. Underwood,
representing the "loyalist" faction,
which opposes union with the Northern
Presbytelan church.
Much matter seemingly Irrelevant In
getting at the legal status of the two
factions of the church has been Intro
duced, but most of it has been admit
ted by the consent of both parties to
the litigation.
The petitioners filed In evidence an
affidavit signed by Judge J. H. Fussell,
of Columbia, Tenn., the chalrmun of the
"loyalist" movement; T. A. Hanxon.
of Jasper, Tenn., and J. J. McClellan,
All of whom were present. This doco-
ment dealt with the whole progress of
the union movement up to the present
time. All three have fought the Idea of
uniting with the Northern church from
the start. They were all at the assem
blies at Dallas, Texas, Fresno, Cali
fornia, and Decatur, 111. In their affida
vit they claim that the course of the
movement for union between the Cum
berland Presbyterian church and the
Presbyterian church In the United
Ktates (Northern) was defective and
Illegal. Judge Pendleton considered
portions of this nffidnvlt Irrelevant and
cumbersome to the record, but It was
admitted without objection.
In combating the claim that the
financial affairs of the church had
been carried Into the union and that
the church could not support Itself as a
Cumberland church, a paper signed by
I. McCord was Hied pledging thal
If the petitioners were given the church
they would financially maintain Jt.
Affidavits ss to Financss.
The attorneys representing the ma
jority of the members of the church,
ho favor union, filed Saturday morn
ing an affidavit In .answer to one filed
Friday by the loyalist attorneys. The
affidavit filed Saturday morning show
ed that Rev. J. A. Whitens*-, who has
been supplying the local pulpit for the
opponents of union since the tempora
ry Injunction against the unionists was
•btalned, gave a pledge In 1801 for $6
o he paid to the building and lot fund,
and that no part of this amount had
been paid. This flatly contradicts his
nffidnvlt of yesterday, which was to the
effect that tb unite the churches would
pervert the trust of the money he had
paid In.
After the tiling of these documents,
K. M. Underwood, of the counsel for the
anti-unionists, begun ills, argument
about 10 o'clock nnd took up practical
ly the whole of the remainder of Sat
urday's session.
He argued that the part of the mom
bershlp which left the church nnd
Joined another could not hold the prop
erty. He held that the power o'
church to amend did not carry v
It the power to destroy, nnd that the
General Assembly of the Cumberland
reshyterlan church had no right to
gree to unite with another church,
that this power wns not granted in the
onstltutiott of the church, and that
vhercnx tt was not specifically allowed
t was denied.
The Negro Entere Question.
The difference In the status of the
negro In the Cumberland Presbyterian
hurch and the Presbyterian church In
the United Slates was a subject of part
of his discussion. He admitted thnt
such changes had been made as would
put them into separate organizations,
but urged that It would be possible
for them to come Into white presby
teries and synods. He sought also to
show numerous other doctrinal dlffer-
nces.
Judge John M. Gault, of Nashville,
Tenn., of the counsel for the unionist
element, follows Mr. Underwood.
With the dosing of the morning ses
sion the hearing adjourned until Mon
day morning.

CUBAN REBELS INSUL T

Special Gable—Copyright.
Havana, Kept. l.—In addition to the
usual batch of wkfrmlahea and raids by
rebel hands In Santa (’lara, Havana
and Plnar del Rio, there .are ominous
report* current today (hat the flag of
revolt has been raised In the province
of Santiago. The government denlea
the reports, while friends of the rebels
declare that the whole province soon
will he In arms.
In the three western provinces to
which the revolt seems largely con
fined. the situation Is serious. The
rebels are growing ugly towards for
eigners and the number of Instances
In which the property of Americans,
Germans and Englishmen are seised
nnd their flags Insulted are growing.
If this keeps up It Is feared there will
be complications which will compel
American Intervention.
Believing thnt the government has
hired men to enlist In his forces to as
sassinate him. Colonel Guerra, of the
revolutionary forces, has shot Andres
Sanchez as a spy. Pinned to his shirt
wns a card with the Inscription, "For
Treason." t
The government forces under Colonel
Colazo and General Begn, engaged the
Insurgent forces nt Colonel Albert Duo-
tnonl, killing five Insurgents and
wounding twenty.
The government seems powerless to
protect Americans and other foreign
ers.
