No Franchise From
City, It Is Alleged.
Co’s; History.
Alderman James L. Key has drafted
resolution which he will Introduce
In council at the adjourned meeting
Tuesday afternoon calling attention to
the fact that the Atlanta Northern
Railway Company, which operates the
street car line to Marietta, Is using a
franchise to run Its passenger and *x
press cars over the streets of the city
without compensation to the city or
permission from the municipal author!
tie*.
The resolution does not stop thsrs.
Curiosity Is not the only thing which
prumpts Alderman Key. He wants the
city attorney to take the matter up
and report back a plan of procedure
for the city to enforce compensation.
Text of Raselution.
Tbs resolution, which tells the story.
Is ns follows:
"Whereas, The Atlanta Northern
Railway Company la using a public
franchise to run Its passenger and eg.
press cars over iht streets of Ihs city
of Atlanta; and, whereas, said com
pany has no permission of the munici
pal authorities to exercise such rights,
and the city does not receive any com
pensation therefore,
“Resolved by the mayor and general
coQncll of the city of Atlanta. That the
city attorney be requested to Inquire
Into the use that said company Is pul
ing the streets of the city of Atlanta to
in running their said cars, and report
what the rights of said company are to
the use of Ills 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 Histsry.
Behind the name of the Atlanta
Northern Railway Company there la
a little story. It dates back to the
time when the Atlanta Rnpld Transit
Company and 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 3 1-3 per
cent Income tax. This was agreed to.
The city has been getting Us Income
tax regularly,
But when It rams to building the
Atlanta Northern Railway 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
and Electric Company owns the Atlan
ta Northern Railway Company. The
formality of securing a franchise 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 be something do
Ing.
ANOTHER OAY SPENT
IN COURT HEAR!
OF CHURCH 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
the First Cumberland Preebytarlan
church, of Atlanta, |n efforts to con'
vines Judge Pendleton of the equity of
their contentlone.
The better part of. the court day
was taken up by E. N. Underwood,
representing the “loyalist" faction,
which opposes union with the Northern
Presbyteian church.
Much matter seemingly Irrelevant In
getting at the legal status of the two
factions of the church has been Intro-
duced, but moat of It hie 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 chairman of the
“loyalist” movement; T. A. Hanson,
of Jasper, Tedn., and J. J. McClellan,
all of whom were preaent. This docu
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 aaaem-
bllee at Dallas, Texas, Fresno, Cali
fornia. and Decatur, III. • 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
Rtates (Northern) was defective and
Illegal. Judge Pendleton considered
portions of this affidavit Irrelevant and
cumbersome to the record, but It was
admitted without Objection.
In combating the claim that the
financial affalra of the church had
been carried Into the union and that
the church could not support Itself as a
Cumberland church, a paper signed hy
J. H. McCord tvas filed pledging that
If the petitioners were given the church
they would financially maintain It.
Affidavits as to Finances.
The attorneys repreasntlng the ma
jority of the members of the church,
who 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. Whltener, who has
been supplying the local pulpit for the
opponents of union since the tempora
ry Injunction against the unionists was
obtained, gave a pledge In 1901 for 86

It as the paramount Issue. Mr. nryan
raid that one thing the great railroads
and other corporations did was “the
corruption of young men nil over the
country who ally themselves with
them and not with the people."
What Roessvslt Doss,
In his speech on the commons In New
llnven, Mr. Bryan said, among other
things:
“The trouble with the president has
been that when he tried to do anything
h' bad to whip the Republicans Into
lino with the Democratic platform In-
rtead of the Republican platform. And
the trouble with the Republican iwrty
In this campaign Is that Its tnollo Is:
■'Stand pat, defend what you have uml
don't promise anything more.’
"They say stand by the president!
Well, my friends, the only way you can
stand by the president If he really
wanta reform Is to give him a Demo
cratic congress to back him up Instead
of a Republican congress."
STRONG OPPOSITION
TO UNION STATION
The neighborhood around Glenn anil
Grant streets and Georgia avenue Is
aroused over a "spite fencee—the Indig
nation running high ns the fence,
which Is IS feet heavenwards. The
fence Is the work of B. W. Sullivan nnd
a competent corps of carpenters.
The obstacle to breese and
benuty Is a work of art from llte view
point of an Iconoclast. Back of It there
Is no! only the skeleton of a two-story
structure, but the framework of quite
a little history.
Many j’ears ago W. M. Scott, at prea-
ont one of the best known renl estntc
dealers of the city, who has hla office
at 72 North Itroad street, purchased
the lot at the corner of Glenn and
Grant streets. The lot extended back
some 200 feel on Glenn street and had
a frontage of 150 feet on Grant. In
purchasing the lot Mr. Scott put tn tho
deed I he proviso that no house be
tween the residence he would build and
the corner of Georgln avenue should
extend closer than r>o feet to the side
walk. He then built hla home, a IS-
room, l-story, stone nnd frame build
ing of elaborate design. Things went
well.
Across the street three other houses
were erected, all 3-story and some dis
tance hack from the sidewalk. l/.-pae
were occupied by E P. Burns, K. I*.
King and the Messrs. .Keddell, sinn
ing from Glenn street and running to
ward Georgia avenue. At the corner
of Georgia nvenue there was erected
a Presbyterian church. After several
years II was derided by the trustees of
the chtirrh to sell n portion of the
church lot. 8. W. Sullivan bought it
and erected a small collage near the
street line, thus culling off llte view
of 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 lie would object
to the cottage. This got to the ears
of Mr. Sullivan.
latter Mr. Sullivan bought the lot
next to the Scott home and nlso the
third lot from the home. On the lat
ter he built a frame house and ex
tended a large heavy poroh over the
stipulated 60-font line. E. 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 Atlantic
(Tty, Mr. Scott was surprised to see
the framework of a house next to Ills.
He found that the builder was Mr. Sul
livan, And sent him a letter stating
that he would not allow the house to
he built over the 60-foot lino. Mr. Sul
livan continued to build nnd the house
extended seven feet past the line. Mr.
Scott held a consultation with hla at
torneys nnd last Wednesday enjoined
Mr. Sullivan.
The work wai slopped on the portion
of the house extending over the line,
while the other eontlnued.
Wednesday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Scott, who had been away from their
resilience during the day, returned nnd
were again surprised. Between their
properly nnd the Sullivan property was
the ISx60-foot "spile fence." Mrs. Scott
was told by her servants that Mr, Sul
livan had set his entire corps of car
penters at work on the fence ami hud
hammered throughout the day, even
ufter 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 6 to show cause why he
should not tear down the portion of
his structure which extends over the
60-foot line.
nnd that no part of this amount had
been paid. This Hally contradicts hla
affidavit of yesterday, which tvas to the
effect that to unite the churches would
pervert the trust of the money he had
paid In.
After the filing of these documents,
E. M. Underwood, of tho counsel for the
anti-unionists, began his argument
about 10 o’clock and took up practical
ly the whole of the remainder of Sat
urday’s session.
He argued that the part of the mem
bership which left the church and
Joined another could not hold the prop
erty. He held that the power of, a
church to amend did not carry with
It the power to destroy, and thnt tho
General Assembly of tho Cumberland
Presbyterian church hnd no right to
agree to unite with another church,
thnt this power was not granted In the
constitution of the church, and that
whereas It was not specifically allowed
It was denied.
The Negro Enters Question.
The difference In tho status of the
negro In the Cumberland Presbyterian
church and (ho Presbyterian church In
the United State* was a subject of part
of Ills discussion. Ho admitted that
such changes had been rnnde ns 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 differ
ences.
Judge John M. Gault, of Nashville,
Tenn., of the counsel for the unionist
element, follows Mr. Underwood.
With the closing of the morning ses
sion the henring adjourned until Mon
day morning.
CUBAN REBELSINSUL T
THE AMERICAN FLAG;
PROPERTY NOT SAFE
Revolt Is Spreading
Over the Whole
Island.
By MANUEL CALVO.
Special Cable—Copyright.
Havana, Sept. 1.—In addition to the
usual batch of skirmishes and raids by
rpbel bands In Santa Clara, Havana
and Plnar del Rio, there are .ominous
reports current today that the flag of
revolt has been raised In the province
of Santiago. The government denies
the reports, whits friends of the rebels
declare - that the whole province soon
will be In arms. 1
In the three western provinces t<
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 seized
and their flags Insulted are growing.
If this keeps up It Is feared there will
be complications which will compel
American Intervention.
Believing that the government has
hired men to enlist tn hla forces to as
sassinate him, Colonel Guerra, of the
revolutionary forces, has shot Apr!re*
Ranches as a spy. Pinned to his shirt
was a card with the inscription, "For
Treason." .
The government forces under Colonel
Colazo and General Rego, engaged the
Insurgent forces of Colonel Albert Duo-
monl, killing five Insurgent* and
wounding twenty.
The government seems powerless to
protect Americans and other foreign
ers.

BETTER EDUCATION
THAN A GOOD JOB
“Tba common schools throughout th»
state will open next Montlnjr," sulil State
School Commissioner Merritt Katurdny
morning. “It !*eboove» the young white

"to take advantage of the school facilities
offered them, and enroll In the schools.
Mnny boys are applying for admlsilon
to West Folnt and nre turned down lie-
cause they cannot make the teat required
In tho preliminary examination. The sauie
holds good as to the rirtl service intuitions,
while many negroes are passing these ex*

The trouble Ilea tn the fact, according to
romtulsaloner Merritt, that the. white Ihijts

It would be uivh better for them to be In
school while they are yonng, equipping
themselves with an education.
