MALT TAX MAHER
TO COME UP AGAIN
NEW POINT DEVELOPED
IN DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST
STREET CAR COMPANY
Man With Transfer Skipped Two Crowded
Cars and Was Put Off the
Third.
Ip order to an If he can be legally
ejected from a car because he ie two
can behind the time punched on hie
transfer when the two care which
passed him were crowded so ha could
hardly have gotten a foothold, A. S.
Schell, a skilled machinist- living In
East Point, has brought suit against
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany for 12,040.
In hie petition, which wae filed on
Wednesday In the superior court; b]
hla attorneys, B. K. Childress and J. H.
Pitman, he claims that he got a trans
fer from the Houston and Hunter Una
to the East Point car*.
He admits that the transfer declared
It waa good only for the first car on
the route, but claims that the first two
cars to pass him at the transfer point,
Whitehall, near Broad etreet, were
crowded to the atepa. He got on tha
third car and the conductor told him*
hla transfer was "N. G.," and told him
further that ha was "man enough to
put him off"—all of this, eo the peti
tioner claims, without provocation on
his part. He says that the conductor
railed him In substance a dead-beat
and that thereupon he told the street
car employee quietly that he would not
pay or leave the car. Insisting that
the transfer be accepted. He says that
he was then forcibly ejected from the
car at the corner of Whitehall and
Park streeta. After this recital of al
leged facta the plaintiff proceeds
tell why he If entitled to damages from
the street railway people. He says
that acting under Its franchise the de
fendant hae eo placed Its double tracks
that competition le shut off and
monopoly Is formed. ,
He claims that tha company could,
were It so disposed, furnish enough
cars to handle the trafllc comfortably
or could attach trailers or supplement
ary ran on the same schedules already
run, as Is done In other cities of less
population than .Atlanta. The plrflntlff
claims that the defendant compan)
neglects to propsrly care for Its pat
rons, although It has a full knowledge
of the Inconveniences suffered.
Mr. Schell, who la a skilled mechanic,
has, he says, ridden on the cars from
East Point and paid his fare, practical
ly every day for many years, and that
the conductor knowingly misrepresent
ed him when he placed him In the
hearing of other people on the car In
the category of dead-beata and dlshon
eat persons.
At the last meeting of thf county
commissioners the street car company
waa requested to give better service on
the East Point Jlne,

“It's heaps better rldln' with a ticket
than trampin',” said 7-year-old Hal
Daniel when he returned from Chatta
nooga Monday. "Gee, this hoboln' bus
iness ain't half as much fun as Jimmy
Sullivan said It was. Guess I'll go
back to school."
For the prodigal returned after three
days. In which his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. N.’ M. Daniel, of 271 Central ave
nue, hail been alternately weeping and
wiring In the hope of finding him. Stor
ies of kidnaping, drowning and other
rearful things had enlivened the In
terval between Hal’s departure and the
news that he had arrived In Chatta
nooga, "where hie kin peopje lived at."
Hal started to the Crew street school
last Friday, wondering whether the
new-style spelling would make It hard
er or cosier to pass his examinations.
He was so absorbed In his meditations
at school that when a big boy stuck a
pin In him he yelled and was repri
manded. Somebody told Hal he would
be suspended, so he sold hla books to a
second-hand dealer for fl.lfi and thus
equipped for travel, started on a Jour
ney to the West, where there are In
dians wnltlng to be killed and no boy
terror of the plains to do the killing.
Big Bill Burk, patrolman of the
Chnttnnongu department, was walking
his beat Sunday morning, when he saw
a youngster on the curbstone who
looked ua though he had been through
a mill.
"What's the matter, kid?" asked the
policeman.’
"I'm hungry," said the youthful In-
vander of the wild and woolly West.
"I hnven't any rifle and I haven't any
money and I don't see any Indiana and
—and I want to go ho-o-me. It's din
ner time and l haven't had breakfast
yet."
"Well, Mr. Diamond Dick." aald Pa
trolman Burk, "before we go out In
dlan hunting we’ll walk over to the
restaurant and you'll have dinner
me."
Under the Influence of ham and eggs
and a big mug of milk the boy traveler
became loquacious and entertained the
policeman and the Greek restaurant-
keeper with the story of his wrongs
and the pilgrimage which followed.
“I was at school and a big boy stuck
a pin In me and I hollered." he ex
plained. "It hurt, too. And then be
cause I hollered 1 got suspended. Then
I was afraid to go home and get a
lickin', so I sold my books and came
over here."
"How'd you get here, non?" asked
Patrolman Burk. "You shore must be
a walker If you made It here since
Friday."
"OK, I got on the train and rode till
they put me off," explained Hal, "be
tween bites of pie. "Then I got on
the next one and rode a little bit fur
ther. There's lota of trains, you know.
But I walked part the way. And I
haven’t had to wash my face since
left home."
When Hal told hie name at the police
station and confided to the desk ser
geant that he had some klrffolks tn
Chattanooga, It wan easy to straighten
out matters. A telegram to the At
lanta home brought more Joy than the
yellow envelopes often carry anil a tel
ephono soon called Hal's Chattanooga
relatives to the station. Hnl arrived
In Atlanta Monday morning,’well fed,
clothed and ready to take up arithmetic
and geography once more.
"But I’m not going to start out West
again until I have more money and can
get to the real prairies," he remarked,
after breakfast. "Chattanooga's a bum
town. But that was mighty good pie."

"Is the Ku Klux to meet tonight?

OIL TRUST GETS
SEPARATE TRIALS
Findlay, Ohio, Sept IJ.—Pleas of
“not guilty” have been made to all
charges brought sgalnst the Standard
Oil Company by Prosecutor David. In
the local court. The defendant* de
manded separate trial by Jury.
In order to make this possible Judge committee
Banker adjourned the session of the
court to the first Monday In October.
Little knots of men gathered at street
corners and discussed tho portentous
placards. Pointed questions regarding
the membership were asked and "Are
you n Ku Klux?” took the place of tho
usual salutation.
Half the city waa on tiptoe with ex
pectancy.
"Where will they meet? Ia It a se
cret? I'd like to go and look on If 1
knew where. But the Ku Klux would
be a mighty bad thing. The police
should break It up. They ought to turn
out the military.”
Then the whole thing exploded when
the hend of one firm walked Into his
store after lunch and answered an In
quiry as to the placard.
"That? Oh, that's only a meeting
of the Dramatic Order of tho Knights
of Khorassan. Just a side-show of the
Knights of Pythias, you know.”
That settled It. The Knights of
Khorassan lost their parnphernnlln nt
the fire In the Kfssr building Monday
night, but they decided to hold a meet
ing anyway. And that's what the mys
terious placards meant.

"Shooting and wounding with Intent
to murder,” all that In large letters, Is
written after the name of Horace
Black; but Horace don’t seem to mind
It In the least. Perhaps It's because
he Iff Just a little chap—not any larger
than his ten and a half years of life
would lead you to suppose.
Horace Is charged before Judge
Bloodworth with the Intention to mur
der little Mies Chester, the very win
some 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Mooney, of 83S Formwalt
street.
Horace la the don of J. H. A. Black
and llvea next door to Mias Chester
Mooney.
It nil happened Sunday last late In
the afternoon. Mias Mooney waa giv
ing an Impromptu Imitation of a tight
rope walker on the dividing fence be
tween the Black-Mooney property,
when Horace came along gunning for
sparrows with his air rifle. So fnr the
attorneys for both sides agree, but It la
still a point In question whether he In
tentionally took deliberate aim and
poured shot Into Miss Mooney's arm or
whether hi* aim waa somewhat shaken
by the impromptu performance on the
fence and he accidentally hit little Miss
Mooney.
However this may be, Miss Mooney
wns shot In the arm and she cried very
hard and was taken from the fence.
Horace was taken Into the house and
severely chastized by his father.
Miss Mooney's parents swore out the
warrant against Horace and the date
of trial will be settled upon Wednes
day afternoon. Attorney Madison Bell,
for the defense, said It would be set for
Thursday at 11 o’clock.
Horace-states that It waa all an ac
cident and that he Is very fond of lit
tie Mlsa Mooney, this latter with
blushes while he sat looking out the
window of Judge Bloodworth’s window,
hla cheek pillowed on the handle of an
