It lasted teveral hours, at fh ■ end of which the committee wa» about at the point from which it had started. It eras decided to return the former report to council unchanged. In calling the meeting to order A1 derman James L. Key, chairman, said the purpose of the meeting waa aa to whether or not null should be brought against the gat company, and If so, In what form. City.Attorney James L. Mayson. aft er discussing the matter at length, stated that the city could not decide ui n the life of the gas company’s charter, bat could only take the matter t ■> the court to decide whether or not thp company was overstepping the bounds of its contract which gave It th<- right to distribute gas within one mile or the center of the clty» Letter to Council. Attorney Mayson then put In writing tin* following; "To the Honorable Mayor and Gen era 1 Council; We, the undersigned i«i '<*lal committee to whom was re ferred the matter of Investigating the right* and the franchise of the Atlanta • ins Light Company, beg leave to re port ; "First.

Thomasvlflc, Ga., Sept. 4.—After many weeks of careful Investigation In which one of the best detectives In the South was employed, It Is believed that the Fulch poison mystery has been solved. Ollle Cunningham and his wife, two negroes on the Fulch place, are how In Jail charged with at leaat being Implicated In the poisoning. W. G. Phillips, of the Piedmont De tective agency, of Atlanta, Is the man who haa ferreted out the case partial ly, and he Is still at work. Other de velopments will likely follow. Mr. Phillips has been on the scene for some time and haa worked In such a clever way as to allay all suspicion as to the object of his visit. On Friday he got a search warrant and went to the home of Ollle Cunningham. He search ed the place and found over the door a bottle containing arsenic and also some rat poison. Arsenic was the poison used in the desperate attempt of the criminals to get rid of the mem bers of the Fulch family for some time. The officer believes he has proof to convict her and her husband. When asked as to the motive Mr. Phillips said that he had not yet completed hla Investigations and did not care to make any further statement other than giving the facts above stated. Other developments will likely fol low. could proceed. So action was taken on the paper, but It will doubtless be brought up In council Tuesday after noon, and there the real light will be made. Tilt During 8peaking. Attorney Hammond, for the coin- r-iny, stated that he council was too fair and Just minded to take from the ga* company the use of Its pipes out side the city limits even If It could and it was not worth while to bring on liti gation. He discussed the charter, bringing out the point that the fran chise was given for the city of Atlan ta. and that aa the city had grown so had the work of the gas company, that Atlanta was the same city, no matter h«»w much it spread. His argument was based along the ethics Involved. Toward the close of his speech Mr. Hammond again referred to the state ment of Alderman Key, made before i"uncll, which was In effect that he was prompted by no other motive than bis h«»nest belief and the desire to win the nlaudlts of the people In bringing on the preaent fight. “What* Did You Git?" Alderman Key Jumped to his feet and asked: "What do you work for; you were In council, what did you then work for?” Attomej Hammond said: •I worked for what 1 thought was right.” • What did you get?’ demanded Al derman Key. Attorney Hammond replied: "I didn’t get anything.” Alderman Key: "Yes. that’s It; you didn’t do any thing and you didn’t get anything.” Attorney Hammond then stated that It was his belief that the council would never take anything from the gas com pany. That Limitless Franchise. Mr. Key then declared that the coun cil should Investigate the merits of the so-called limitless franchise which the company claims to hold. President Arkwright, of the gas com pany, addressed the meeting. He stated that the fight wan not a personal one. Mr. Key declared that he had been at- • tacked by the gns people every time there was a meeting. "Kvery time we meet you come and lumber at me,” said the alderman. "Now. I put you on guard, 1 will In the future lumber back. You may at tack me from every eUle. 1 have noth ing In my private or public life 1 am afraid to have brought before the pub lic. You may talk u» much as you please, but I put you on notice. I will give back as much as you will ever give me, and probably more." The gist of President Arkwright’s M*»*ech was that although the gas com pany did not want a suit or the matter t,ken into courts, It was ready to take up the matter whenever the city was, and would be glad to get rid of the question once and forever. Curtis Favored Courts. Councilman Curtis asked Mr. Ark wright If It would not be better for the company to pay for the privilege of op erating outside of the one-mile limit. Mr. Arkwright replied that this had been tried and was not a satisfactory manner of settlement. Councilman Curtis then stated that he wished to serve all his constituents. Including the gas company, to the best of bis ability and that he believed the suit would be the thing. Alderman Key spoke again of the personal trend the Investigation had al ways taken. Councilman Patterson stated that he thought the gas company was paying an equitable amount to the city. The committee then voted to return the original report to council.

No party which may come Into power will dare ti> repeal any one of these so-called Koclallstk nets. "We can not hnve any such thing at private rebates. All our rates are public ly gsxctted, and any attempt at uislad- mint strut b*u would be at once detected by the system of public audit, and no government that shut Its eyes to abuses would hold office forty-right hours." Hlr Joseph talked at some length of the system or old-age iwnslou. Any one over sixty live years of age gets a pension.
