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 public, who was killed In an automobile accident In Montana last June.

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." CHAIRMAN "GREETED BY CRIES OF “LIAR” Toledo, Ohip, Sept. II.—The Ninth district Republican convention here Is the most disorderly thus far In the his tory of Toledo. The fight Is against tbe renomlnatlon of James H. Southard with a field of half a dozen candidates against him. Walter Brown, an anti- Southard man. organized the conven tion.
