THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. COUNCIL AUTHORIZES 40 NEW POLICEMEN Gas Committee’s Re port Carried Over Till Later. Politic* seems at last to have been eliminated from the police force—that Is. In the selection of "cops." The city fathers. In regular session i- embled Tuesday, decided, after a long and ardent debate, to select the proposed forty new members of the force by examinations. The examina tions will be the some as laid out In the civil service ordinance. The sum of *6,400, favorably reported on by the finance committee to defray the ex pense of the addition, was passed. The "green cops" will be on their beats October 1, It‘Is believed that the In crease will greatly decrease the visitors to the recorder's court and generally have a good effect on the lawless ele ment of the city. This Important matter was taken up Immediately after the opening of coun* ell. The rules were suspended and At torney Linton C. Hopkins, representing a special, committee of some . thirty cltltens and the public at large, was given the floor. Mr. Hopkins opened his address with n sketch of the prevailing conditions. He stated, In substance, that the pres ent prosperity and large wages given negroes made it possible for that race to work one day and loaf five; that the saloons on Decatur street were doing an unprecedented business, and that there nre forty of these saloons within four blocks on Decatur street, and on Peters street fourteen within two blocks. Continuing. Mr. Hopkins said: "To. day our women are prisoners In their own houses. They dare not walk on the streets at night and In the suburbs they can not be left In safety even during the day. There have been live or more of the most diabolical outrages committed In Fulton county during the past few weeks. The people want remedy. They do not wunt Ku-Klux Klans, but better police protection.” Only One "Cop” to 2,200 Cltlsens. He then showed that there was only one policeman on duty to every 2,200 cltlsens. He then asked that the civil service be eliminated from the peti tion. Alderman Key asked why the civil service would hurt the measure. Mr. Hopkins stated that It might cause a delay. ■ Alderman Key then stated that he was the author of the civil service proviso, an<J did not see why It should not bo passed. "It Is a peculiar thing to me,” said Mr. Key, “that this council should Ttnoek' the civil service ordi nance every time It Is mentioned. When It was brought before this body every member voted for It. Your ac tion, gentleman, I* not consistent. There Is an old custom of policemen being selected by the members of the police board. In the present case each member will select five policemen. Whether they are good, bad or Indif ferent, It will make no difference—they will have to be put on, and this for political purposes. If the ordinance was ever good. It Is rood now. This amendment wilt In no manner put the police under civil service. It will simply eliminate the political feature from the police force and place In tho positions men who are mentally, moral ly and physically able to fill them. As r a delay, who will dare fly In the BY US' BLOWS Goldfield Miners Angry at Dane—He Won’t Fight Negro Again. t t for — —... face of public opinion at such a time? Tell me that, who will cause the delay? If there Is such a man on the police board, then he should not be there." Tho wording of the amendment was then slightly changed by Alderman Qullllan and the ordinance passed. Qss Report Deferred. Because of the unusually largo amount of business before council, It was deemed wise to allow the report of the special gas Investigating com mittee go over until the next session of council. There were a number of cltlsens. aside from the representatives of the monopoly, In the council cham ber to hear what will be the outcome of the long-delayw) report. It Is safe to say there will be a hard light put up before the council by Alderman James L. Key, representing the spreading pub lic sentiment, and by the gas com pany's attorney and president on the other hand. The resignation of J. W. Kilpatrick from the water board was accepted. Ii Is believed that the resignation was tendered In anticipation of the secre taryship of the water-works depart meat. Two petitions asking that the city council take a hand In the working of tin- railway company and demand trail ers for the use of negroes on certain of the city lines, were referred to the committee on electric and other rail ways. This matter Is causing much Interest and it Is believed that the public sentl tnent will prevail. An ordinance by Councilman Rob' #rt*. requiring all restaurants and lunch houses to get their licenses only after the location and conditions have been Investigated by council, was adopted. An ordinance by Councilman Martin, defining a "dive" as a place where liquor Is sold and Immoral conduct carried on, was adopted. There will be a line Imposed on any one convicted of running such a place. Franehis* Not Aoted On. The ordinance giving franchise to the Southern Oaa Company was read and laid on the table until the next session of council. It Is probable that the or dlnance will be then adopted with the numerous provisos, among which Is one giving thS city the right to con demn the property and to buy It for Its Intrinsic value. An ordinance by Councilman Pome roy was adopted, which effects a com promise with the Georgia railroad In the matter of building a foot bridge from Decatur street over the tracks to Oakland cemetery at the Yonge street crossing. A resolution by Alderman Sims and Councilman Olass was adopted, which will Institute an investigation by the city engineer and city attorney Into the need of more bridges and under passes west of Forsyth street. A resolution requesting ths.Oeorgla Railway and Electric Company to fur nish street car passes to the super- numertes of public schools was re ferred to the committee on electric and other railways. A resolution by Councilman Foster so adopted requesting the police board to Investigate the saloons on De catur street and report to council. To Investigate Railway.

Goldfield, Nev, BepV 5.—Bruised and slashed almost beyond recognition, Battling Nelson was delirious today from the effects of the terrible beating he had received at the hands of Jo* Gans In the battle for the lightweight championship. A representative of Tex Rickard, president of the Goldfield Athletic Club, went to the room where the de feated champion lay In his bed at tended by doctors. Nelson was appar ently rational when the promoter call ed and told him of the offer of Cans, ‘i'll Never Fight Here." “Gans does not think that his victory Is entirely decisive," he said, "and he Is willing to fight you again under the same conditions If a large enough purse Is offered. What do you think of It?" ^ Nelson, wild eyed, rose In his bed, and shaking oft hi* attendants, who tried to hold him down, shouted: I will never light that man again The doctors pushed Nelson back Into his bed, and the promoter left, the room. He said that Nelson's face was cut and swollen Into a shapeless mass. Feeling Against Nslson. There Is the most Intense feeling against Nelson and his manager among the miners here and as soon as Nelson can be moved, It Is probable that he will leave town with his party. Gans added to the feeling against Nelson’s manager today by condng out with an open statement that ho had been ofTored *26,000 to "throw" the fight. "I don’t want to name the man who came to me,” said Gans, "but a man who Is very close to Nolan visited my training quarters some days ago and asked If I thought I would have trou ble making the wolght. 1 was offered 1125,000 then If I would 'lay down’ to kelson. Offered $25,000 to Fake. You are afraid of the double- cross, I guess,’ the man said, ’so I will tell you how straight this Is. I guarantee that you will have *26,000 twenty-four hours before you step Into the ring If you agree to do the trick.’ "I told him that I did not want any part of It. I believe that It was a rick of Nolan’s. If I had agreed to It Nolan would have promptly come out with a statement that the fight was crooked and would have withdrawn Nelson from the mill. He was looking for a chance to get out from under because he knew his man was licked as soon os he found out I could make the weight.” “LEG BAIL” FAILS; MAN IS ARRESTED gpeclsl to The Georgian.

Chicago. 8ept. 5.—Repudiation of the Indorsement given him by the Illinois Democratic state convention because the same convention refused to oust National Committeeman Roger C. Sul livan, was the chief feature of the speech delivered last evening by Wil liam Jennings Bryan at the dinner at the Auditorium hotel. Many of those who heard Mr. Bryan were members of and had taken part In the state convention. Mr. Bryan scored Sullivan and his political meth ods and In the same breath served no tice on the members of the Illinois state convention that he refused utter ly to accept their Indorsement of him after they had Indorsed Sullivan. Denounced 8ullivsn. While the speaker denounced Sulli van there was not a word of protest, and when he repudiated the Indorse ment of the Illinois convention there was great applause. Colonel'Gravos Speaks. Others who delivered addresses were Hon. John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, editor of The Georgian: Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, and Cato Sells, of Iowa. In the afternoon Mr. Bryan spoke at a luncheon given In his honor by the Iroquois Club. In this address he ex plained his government ownership of railroads declaration. As to Roger 8ullivan. Fully 600 prominent Democrats from Illinois and other middle Western states were present at the banquet given last night under the auspices of the Jefferson Club at the Auditorium hotel. When Mr. Bryan arose to speak there was great enthusiasm. He said In part: The chief honesty of a party’s pur pose Is shown not merely by Its plat form or the speeches of Its candidates nnd supporters, but by the character of the men who nre Intrusted with the purty management. Illinois presents a case In point and I take this opportu nity to stato my position In regard to the national committeeman from this state, Mr. Roger Sullivan. As you all know, I wrote him a letter asking him to resign from the national commltteo In the Interests of the Democratic par ty. Explained to 8ullivan. explained to him that his cor porate connections made It Impossible for him to help the party so long ns he was in official position, but stated that were that the only objection the mat ter might be dealt with at the state convention two years hence. I pointed lut to him that as he held his seat by raud there could be no harmony In the Democratic party In the state until he, by resigning, showed his respect for the wishes of the majority at the last state convention. 'instead of resigning, ho asked for nn Indorsement from the state conven tion. He charged that I was deceived by Mr. Dunlap. The charge was so ob viously untrue that It ought not to have deceived any one. At tho national con vention In 8t. Louis I had In writing a request for his repudiation signed by more than half of the delegates to the state convention. "Had Mr. Sullivan any of the In stincts of a Democrat, had he the first conception of what Democracy means, ho would not have consented to hold the place against the wishes of the convention. The most fundamental of all Democratic principles Is the right of the majority to rule and the man who consciously and purposely Ignores It has no claim to the name of Democrat. Gives Him Position. “At the recent state convention the delegates, although they did not vote directly on the question to ask his res ignation, voted to table the resolution, nnd that may be accepted as a vote of Indorsement. This gives him his po sition for two years more. 'The question now Is what can the Democracy of Illinois do to register Its protest against the kind of politics for which Mr. Sullivan stands. This is the question In .which I, as a Demo crat, am Interested, for the question which arises In Illinois will arise In alt the other states where the corporations BRYAN EXPLAINS HIS REMARKS ABOUT OWNERSHIP OF ROADS By Private Leased Wire. • Chicago, Sept 6.—Regarding his remarks anent government owner, ship of railroads, Mr. Bryan, in hi* speech here yesterday at the lunch, eon given by the Iroquois Club, said: “I stated what I thought with the exoeptlon that everybody else would exercise the same freedom In the discussion of the question. I was led to my conclusions by the corruption of the people of the United States by the railroads as I have seen- lb In my Judgment we have no more corrupting Influence In American politics than the railroads. It has corrupted the people by the pass. I have known convention* to be controlled by passes. I have known Judges to be elected by railroads, and I have reached the conclusion that this corruption can not be eliminated until these natural monopolies become the property of the gov ernment. I am opposed to centralization and because I believe that the state can best do that which concerns the state alond, because I be lieve In the doctrine of self-government, therefore, I prefer that Instead of having all the railroads owned by the Federal government, we should have the local lines owned by at« e governments and only the trunk lines owned by the Federal government." TOO MUCH WHISKY SENT SENA 7 OR TO PRISON CELL W. D. Mills in Clutch of the Law. es The exemption of lawmakers does not run after, lawmaking Is over. Therefore, when State Senator W. D. Mills, of Cherokee, faced Judge Broyles In the police court Wednesday morning he stood not upon the dignity of his position, but pleaded the mercy of the court Senator Mills had a hangover. He remembered the events of the day be fore, but dimly, as though n glass be clouded. All he remembered was that he had remained at the capltot after the close of the legislature In order to complete certain reports necessary to the welfare of the state. This labor completed, he had sallied forth to cele brate and had celebrated not wisely, but too well. Patrolman Terry, who directs the passing throng at the corner of White hall and Alabama Streets, was called In to arrest Mr. Mills Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday morning the senator, sadder and wiser, explained to the of ficers that he should be exempt from arrest, being a member of the general assembly, and thus above the Jurisdic tion of earthly courts, unless charged with murder, treason or sedition against the sovereign state. The turn key heard him patiently and sent him up to court. Before the recorder the senator made no defense. Ho only asked that mercy be shown and when assessed *5.76 for his evening's pleasure and the subse quent night’s lodging he merely begged' that an officer be detailed to accom pany him to the pawnshop across the street. For the senator was out of funds. He was held over until he could communicate with his friends. TO LYNCH BLACK Officers Captufe George Mc Henry in Time To Save Him From Mob. A lynching of a negro by a negro mob was averted early Wednesday morning by the prompt action of Call Officers Dunton and Gallaher, and the offend Ing negro, George McHenry, _ was lodged behind steel bars In the police station. He was accused of shooting Into a crowd and wounding a negro woman and her little boy. A negro row. In which McHenry was the central figure, arose near Ellis street and Piedmont avenue, about midnight. During the trouble McHenry fired a revolver Into the crowd and wounded a woman named Hettle Griggs in the stomach, the bullet first passing through the shoulder of her 6-year-old son. . The two were sent the hospital. The angry negroes began a chase McHenry, determined to shoot or hang him, but he escaped and was captured a short distance away by the officers, who responded to a telephone call.

He Is a high official In a fran chlse holding corporation which Is con stantly seeking favors at the hands of the government. He Is familiar with all the methods employed by such cor. poratlons to gain from local and state { rovernments special favors-and prlvl eges. I hold that no man who Is offi cially connected with a corporation that Is seeking privileges ought to act ns a member of a political organisation because he can not represent his cor poration and the people at the same time. Takes Advantage of Public. I am opposed to allowing a man sit uated as he is to use the public treas ury to pay the debts that he owes to those who help his corporation to take advantage of the public, and, there fore, I Insist that the fight should be commenced today to prevent his re- election to the national committee. And what 1 say of him I say of aspirants tor positions In the party organizations In other states. If the Democratic par ty has not virtue enough to spew out those who trnffle In politics for the ad vantage of the corporations to which they belong, It does not deserve victory nor can It hop* for It. "If you say that I have no right to Interfere In the polities of this state, I reply that I am simply applying to Illinois a principle which I believe ought to be applied universally. I do not regard It sis a compliment to be Indorsed f<W the presidency by a con vention which Indorsed Mr. Sullivan, t told them In advance that I should not want nn Indorsement under such cir cumstances, and I repudiate It. If my nomination for any office depended upon that Indorsement I would not accept It. "He’s Not My Friend." Mr. Sullivan Is not my friend, al though he pretended to b« before this discussion arose. He would not have allowed me to be Indorsed If he could have prevented It. but Instead of oppos ing me Ilk* a man, he attempted to link Ms name with mine and thug se cure an Indorsement for himself.

New York, Sept. 5.—To light wrong committed by the soldiers of the Union under General McPherson during the civil war, the government haa decided to settle the claim of Mrs. Flortne Austin Albright for 175,000. Mrs. Albright Is the sole survivor of an old Louisiana family, lives at No. HO West Sixteenth street, und is (veil known In New York society. For forty years she has been con ducting her tight against the Federal government, part of the time assisted by her husband. Attorney General George W. Albright. Mrs. Albright's father. Colonel Ster ling, had an immense plantation In Car- roll Parish, Louisiana. He was loyal to the North. He was afterwards i sasslnated. His son also wan killed. During the war Colonel Sterling had occasion to leave his plantation. In his absence General McPherson’s men stripped It of cotton, fodder, mules, horses and cattle. One hundred and sixty slaves were also turned loose. The farm was devastated by breaking the levee and flooding the land. The loss amounted to $300,000. The fight against the government then began. Mrs. Albright recently was awarded $60,000 by congress and she still has pending even larger claims. could deceive me. If they were deceived they will be glad to be undeceived; If they thought to deceive me they will have more respect for me when they find that they did not succeed. *T suggest that every candidate for office who wants the people to have confidence in him should announce that he Is opposed to Mr. Sullivan’s methods. That he repudiates his lead ership and will oppose his re-election. I do not hesitate to express the opinion th.it no man running on the Democratic ticket In Illinois is entitled to the sup port of Democrats in this crisis Who either stands with Mr. Sullivan or Is afraid to oppose him. It Is not the time for cowardice. “There are times when men can slide In office by dodging issues, but when the life of the party nnd Its chances for success depend upon establishing Its character, those who are not with the people are against them and those who refuse to speak out must expect their silence to be construed as ac quiescence In corporate domination.” WANTEOJV CLERKS Resolution Calls for Exteu- teusipn of Holiday to One Month.

ALLEN NOT FORCED TO PAY FOR METERi Georgia Railway and Elec tric Company Incident Fully Explained. In a news story printed last Satur day afternoon advocating municipal ownership of the gas and electric lighting plants, The Georgian made mention of an Incident where E. W. Allen & Co. printers at 51-2 South Broad street, had been subjected to ar bitrary practices. Among other things, the story contained a statement to the effect that E. W. Allen & Co. had been forced, by threat of having the power famed off,' to pay for a meter which had been melted In a fire which caused between *7,000 and *8,000 damages. That was an error. Mr. Allen was NOT forced to pay for the meter. He did receive a bill for more than *70. It was Itemized for meter destroyed by fire In his place. He did refuse to pay the bill. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company officials did In sist that the bill be paid.- Mr. Allen refused point blank. The officials told Ing the Georgia Railway and Electric turn off his electric power and put him out of business. He told them to turn It off. But Mr. Allen did not stop with tell ing thme Georgia Railway and Electric Company to turn the power oft. He consulted his attorney. He told his at. torney Just how the fire occurred. The attorney took the matter up with the Georgia Railway and Electric Compa ny. He requested the Georgia Railway and Electric Company not to Insist upon the payment of that bill for the meter. But the Georgia Railway and Electric Company did Insist. Then the attorney for Mr. Allen, who happened to be Reuben Arnold, did i btt of Insisting. In that suave, per. suasfve manner for which he Is well known, Mr. Arnold conveyed to the Georgia Railway and Electric Company the Information that If payment of that bill of *70 was insisted upon any fur ther, why he would go to work and in stltute suit against the Georgia Rail, way and Electrlo Company for setting Mr. Allen's printing establishment on fire. He somehow convinced the Geor gia Railway and Electric Company— Mr. Arnold has a way of doing those things—that he would stand a pretty good chance of getting a verdict before a Jury. So the Georgia Railway and Electric Company stopped insisting that the meter be paid for. ‘Ir. Allen says he wants the facts . be known. He says there Is ab solutely no doubt about the arbitrary practices. But he says he does not want the Impression to go out that he paid for that meter. Also he; says the Georgia Railway and Electric Company people have been after him about It. ARE CAPTURED BY U. S Elags and Dynamite Taken 'in Raid on Mex- By Private Leseed Wire.
