STEPS ARE TAKEN
Council Applauds Speech of
Rev. H. H. Proc
tor.
TO corL TANNER
Touching Resolutions on the
Death of Mrs.
Tanner.
A session of council, characterized
by the Importance of the matters dis
cussed, was held Monday afternoon.
After four hours of debate, considera
tion and elapsed time, the meeting was
adjourned to meet again September
85 at 3 o’clock, when the restaurant
licenses for the coming quarter will be
passed upon.
Aside from the gas Investigation, the
meat Investigation and the election of
Frank G. Lake as water commissioner,
the consideration of the several ordi
nances and petitions, which are pur
posed to free Atlanta of vagrants and
barroom loafers, was perhaps the mat
ttr of the greatest public Interest.
The ordinance Imposing a fine of
$100 or 30 day* in Jail on parents who
allow their children to become corner
loafers, and the Martin "dive" ordi
nance, which will do away with places
where men and women meet and drink,
were passed.
Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the
colored Congregational- church of At
lanta, was given the floor and ad-
dressed the body In a manner which
brought forth applause from all pres
ent. Dr. Proctor pleaded for the wip
ing out of all dives. He stated that
the better class of negroes were fight
ing the evil done by these places with
heart and soul, but could do practically
nothing unless the council enacted
laws. He discussed the matter from
the viewpoint that every white family
In the city, as well as every colored
family, felt the direct Influence of these
places.
”lf you will pass these laws your
wives and sisters will not bo troubled
with the servant question." said the
speaker. He also declared that the
"dives" were nests in which the eggs
of evil were laid and from which were
hatched murderers and thieves and
rapists.
A favorable report was made on
widening the sidewalk In Exchange
place. Joel Hurt, whose petition was
under consideration, stated that the
widening of the street had nothing to
do with the interurbnn line.
Captain Kills, of the law flrn.
Us, Wlmblsh K Kills, spoke In behalf
of the interurhan line and asked that
the petition la* considt red when the
Atlanta, Macon and Griffin railway
franchise was considered.
The Peachtree paving appropriation
of $12,000 w as not considered, us It w ill
come up with the October apportion
ment at the next session of council
This, however. Is a settled matter, und
the passage through council is only a
form.
A petition from Thief Joyner, of the
fire department, set forth that engine
house No. in sadly needed paving and
asked that this be attended to before
the cold weather. This was referred to
a committee.
The petition for "freak” concessions
during the fair were turned over to the
tax committee, as well as the petition
not to allow' book makers around the
rack track.
The petition of cltlxens living In the
vicinity *>f the Pure Milk plant, on
Ivy street, near Edgewood avenue, was
turned over to the hoard of health.
The petition claimed that the smoke
and sparks from the factory were dan
gerous and unhealthy.
An ordinance appropriating $300 to
defray the expenses of live members
of the council, Including the mayor, to
the League of American Munlclpalitlea
to be held this fall, was referred to the
finance committee.
Other matters of minor Importance
were attended to.
As a mark of sympathy In a great
bereavement Atlanta Camp 159, United
Confederate Veterans, passed a$
meeting in July resolutions on the
death of Mrs. James Tanner, wife of
Corporal James Tanner, commander
In-chlef of the Grand Army of the Re

Washington, Sept. 18.—"I nm not in
favor of the government ownership of
rallrqguls by the United States govern
ment. In Its practical operations It
would be paternalistic Socialism. 1 can
think of a score of strong and sufft-
clent reason* against It, nnd scarcely
one good reason for It—certainly not
one that Is not counterbalanced In ten-
fold degree by the evils which It would
entail."
In these word* Senator A. O. Bacon,
of Georgia, declares hi* opposition to
the Huggestlon made by William Jen*
nlng* Bryan. Mr. Bacon has gone to
Atlantic City for a rest, but while In
Washington gave out aq interview In
which he stated In no uncertain terms
that Mr. Bryan's Idea regarding gov
ernment ownership of railroads was not
to his way of thinking.
"Would Be Impracticable."
Among other things, he said:
"It would be Impracticable for the
government to maintain and operate
225,000 miles of railroad economically
and honestly and build the new line*
that would be required a* well. It
would present the most inviting and
unlimited field for graft and thievery
the world ever saw.
"The government ownership, mainte
nance and operation of the railways of
the United States would constitute a
political machine the reach and resist
less power of which can not be real
ized or even conceived of; and If it Is
within the power of money to corrupt
our people that machine would be con
trolled by the army of grafter* and
thieve* who would be in the plundering
business.
Bsfisvts in Rats Lsw,
"The suggestion that the general gov
ernment shall own the trunk lines, and
that the states shall own the local lines,
I do not regard as practical.
"I believe that the recently enacted
rate law, and the previous enactment,
known as the Elkin* law, will control
the railroads. If experience shows de
fects in such laws, there will be sup
plemental legislation to cure them."

die adjournment today of the old Finn
ish diet, composed of the four estates

"We thank you for your able and
efficient work.
"In bringing to an end the old method
we hope that favorable development
will follow our decision to grant uni
versal suffrage.
"We promise the introduction Into
the next parliament of new laws bet
tering the conditions of the poor.
"We hope that unrest among work
ingmen will end, and that every one
will Join In aiding the government.”

fhe met him with equal energy and a
tug of war resulted. It continued for
fifty feet In front of the church, while
the large crowd looked on. After se
curing help the brother succeeded In
