THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
Has Hot Time in
Making Apportion
ment Sh,eet.
.Mayor Woodward versus the finance
committee. • -
A battle of many rounda was fought
Saturday morning and ended In a draw.
The mayor stood to his position that
he would not go out of office leaving his
auccessor any debts contracted during
the past two yeras. The committee
tried—to no avail—to make up the ap
pbrtionment shiet so that 140,000 would
be paid during the next mayoralty
term.
After more than two hours' debat
lug, the committee adjourned to meet
.Monday at 10 o'clock without reach
lng a decision.
The revocation of liquor licenses has
played havoc with the financial ma
chlnery of the city government, but
despite this fact it was the unanimous
opinion that the move was a good one
and that Atlanta Is today a far better
city than when the Decatur, Peters
anil .Marietta streets dives were given
free rein.
.Mayor Woodward at the opening of
the meeting stated that he Intended to
go out of office with his administration
free of debt, and instructed the com
mlttee to make up the apportionment
sheet accordingly. He stated that It
would not be fair to the next admlnli
tratlon to saddle it with debt when
the times were squally. He showed
that the revocation of the licenses
would cut off 138,200 from the revenues
next year und that the additional po
lice, If put on, would cost that admin
istration 140,000 additional.
The mayor at one moment declared
"I will r.nt allow thla money to go over.
Tou may make out the apportionment
sheet, but if you attempt to carry this
money over I will veto tt-and then ev
erything will come to a standstill. You
rannot get around It. The law says
that we cannot carry debts over and I
»m here to enforce the law.”
Councilman Martin brought out
strong point by declaring that the
money would only lie idle when It was
greatly needed at the present time.
Chairman Patterson stated that the
situation was not as serious as the
mayor thought.
Riot* Better Than Prohibition.
Mayor Woodward, decliced that he
was scared the city government would
be run by .irtarp -who did not pay
enough tnxpa to feed a mosquito,
tneening the prohibitionists. "I had
rather have' four riots,'' declared the
mayor, "than one prohibition elec-
Alderman Key moved that the mon
*>' be carried over. The committee aaw
no use in aecondlng the motion, as ths
mayor declared It would do no good.
City Attorney Mayson' was sent for
In settle the point whether or not it
was legal to carry over the money. He
could not be found.
The following, items were suggested
is the only ones which could' be cut.

REBELS STILL REFUSE
10 GIVE UP ARMS;
TROUBLE IS FEARED
By MANUEL CALVO.
Havana, Oct. S.—Both sides of the
Cuban factions who are warring
among themselves on the one hand and
the Americans entrusted with the
bringing about of disarmament and In
tervention, are both marking time to-
day.
At Pinar del Rio, the deadlock is
still on. and it Is believed that a clash
between the Liberals and the old gov
ernment forces Is Inevitable. The roads
are lined with Liberal forces, who still
refuse to give uo their arms.
Wholesale Frauds Found.
Threats sent into the city have vir
tually put Pinar del Rio In a state
of siege. If Pino Guerra, the Liberal
leader, arrives today It la believed that
he will decree peace and order the
Liberals to give up their arms.
Wholesale frauds on the part of of- .
fleers connected with the former Cu- stolen.
I ban government are expected to be
revealed by the. Amerlcap auditors
who are examining the financial status
of the late republic. Already one
scandal has beeu unearthed, and It is
believed others will follow- in many of
the governmental departments.
Thousands of Dollars Stolen.
Knowledge that an Investigation
would bring to light such facts may
account for the tenacity with which
many of the former Cuban office
holders clung $o their positions and
opposed any compromise with the in
surgents which would lead to giving
the liberals power. In office and an
opportunity to investigate the manner
In which the republic affairs had been
conducted.
The scandal already brought to light
Is In the government commissary de

J. C. Logan, an attorney, and sec
retary of the Ascoclated Charities, has
done a lot of thinking on the municipal
ownership proposition. He has reach
ed the conclusion that It la the only
thing for the good of the most people.
Here. Is what Mr. Logan had to say
when he turned in hts application for
membership:
8ound Reasoning.
The arguments against municipal
ownership resolve themselves to this
one statement: On account of politics
municipal ownership la Impractica
ble.
“At the root of corruption and lneffi
ciency. of politics Is the struggle be
tween the publle and those private In
terests owning public - utilities. Re
move the public utility corporations
from the field of city politics and there
are Jeft no private interests big and
strong enough-Ao create s 'boss,' the,
source of the trouble. The boss and
odrruptlbri add Inefficiency could not.
ektat but for the Indifference and apa
thy of a large proportion of good citi
zens; and all our cltlxens cannot be
made to actively participate In poli
tics except by bringing about an In
timate connection between the admin
istration of their city's affairs and the
cost to the of such necessities as lights
and water and car service.
•♦eltyed report, October 6.
The public ownership and o$>eratlon
public utilities Is not only not im
practicable on account of the present
state of politics, but rather the present
state of politics renders imperative the
public ownership and operation of pub
ic* utilities. 'The cure for the Ills of
Democracy is more Democracy.
Therefore let us have municipal owner
ship as soon as possible: but let us
bring about thla wider Justice without
Injustice to any one."
Mr. Logan has done some thinking.
His thinking Is the result of careful
observation and study. He has the sit
uation well In hand and his words are
entitled to consideration.
Is a Sure Winner.
L. P. Marquardt has sent the fol
lowing letter:
Enclosed you will find four applica
tion blanks property signed for mem

League. Municipal ownership

opinion of all I come In contact with
that the people should own their own

W. L. Scott, president of the Ameri
can Manufacturing Company, with of
fices at *5 North Forsyth street, has
th ''Munlclpal ownership will most cer
tainly come, and the people are begin
ning to open their eyes. Let a start be
made to elect men to office who will

H. s! Dorsey, a traveling salesman,
who resides at 1*5 Logan street.
“It Is Just what I have been waiting
for." says Winfield P. Woolf, a teacher,
with offices at 50* Lowndes building.
"Municipal ownership; nuf sed,
writes J. R. DeLong, a bridge builder,
who resides at Peachtree Inn.
"I believe It to be one of the best
movements and wlH be a great benefit
to the people,” Is the view that D. E.
Gorman, a merchant of 774 Marietta
street, takes of the situation.
"I am also In favor of the city own
ing or controlling the street railway
system," says C. J. Edmondson, a sales
man for Keely Company. "Let us have
better car service." ,
T would also be glad to see the city
own the street railway system," says
D. C. Hemrich, of 296 South Pryor
street, who Is in the railway mall ser
vice, while G. W. Summers, a book
keeper, who lives at the same place,
favors the same thing.
Dlsouss the Proposition.
There have been any number of ap
plications from the houses throughout
the city, which goes to show that the
citizens who live together have been
thinking over and discussing the prop
osition. They come to the conclusion
that municipal ownership Is the right
thing, and then the league gets them
as members.
"Also street railways," writes J. W.
Awtry, member of the firm of Knott
& Awtry, shoe dealers, at 25 White
hall street. "I don't believe that any
corporation should fall heir to streets
that were paved and sustained by the
cltlsens for the purpose of amassing
targe fortunes without the output of a
cent of their own, except to keep the
tracks and rolling stock in order."
“Also the street railways and all oth
er public utilities,” Insists J. W. HIH,
ot 61 East Alabama street, publisher
of the city directory.
A. B. Ware, a commission merchant,
ot 318 Paters building, says: "You have
my support and part of my cash If
you need It to carry on the fight.”
"Best league In the city and started
by the best paper in the South,” writes
F. G. Deckner, a postal clerk, who re
sides at 425 Luckle street.
"This movement will be followed by.
municipal ownership of street railways
and telephones," asserts F. L. Volberg,
an upholster, of 130 South Forsyth'
street. •
"For heaven’s sake, hurry or we per
lsh!” Is the wall' of W. C. Martin, a
merchant, of 214 Marietta street.
"And the controlling of street rail
ways,” Insists Charles D. Heard, a
physician, of 609-611 English-Amerl-
can buildjng.
"We MUST have gas and electric
lights,” Insists L. Brzeslnskl, a tailor,
of 22 West Harris street.
'If the street railway made Jast year
*1,000,000, why couldn't the city make
It?" Is the query propounded by W.< C.
Hays, of 90 West Cain street.

The people are aroused. They are

that this Is the time to take the matter

Certainly it would be a great mis

M. R. Emmons, of 794 Peachtree,
voiced his sentiments, arid those of a
number of Peachtree residents with
whom he has talked, Saturday morn
ing. He showed many, reasons why the
street , cars should continue on the
city's leading thoroughfare.
“In the first place,” he said, "there
are many on Peachtree, plain busi
ness men, who dont’ own carriages or
motor cars. And those who do own
them do not use them for coming to
business. They.had rather jump on a
car than to bother with geting their

Washington, Oct. 6.—President
Roosevelt and Hon. T. P. O'Connor,* the
great home rule member of parliament,
had a pleasant chat this morning and
each told the other a great many com

O'Connor Is one of the greatest Jol

land and West Peachtree. The West
Peachtree line is thifi. 1 blocks away
from Peachtree in some places. On
the other side it varies from a short
block- to a considerable distance. The
distance would be too far to walk con
veniently.
"The public doesn’t want the cars
taken off. Visitors to Atlanta are
taken for a car ride out that street
as a matter of course. They cannot all
afford to hire vehicles. Business men
would quit going home to luncheon If
the cars were removed. The street'car
company would lose a lot of business if
the tracks were taken off the principal
show street.
"One of the men who has advocated
the removal of the tracks lives oppo
site the Capital City Club, close to the
business district. Their removal
would not affect him at nil, as the
tracks would still run past his house.
Some of the others do. not live on
Peachtree.
I believe that the sentiment of the
majority.of the Peachtree property
owners is against the movement. They
have said little, tor they have not be
fore been given an opportunity, and
besides they have thought the matter
not serious enough to bother about.
But they will resist any movement to
move the tracks,"

Room Always Locked.
The room Is always kept locked. A

Second Recent Failure.
The failure of the Atlanta Stock and
Cotton Exchange coming on top of the
failure of the Piedmont Exchange, will
doubtless shake the Atlanta margin
buyer# in matter of wire houses. The
Piedmont Exchange, which figured so
prominently In the Southern Cotton As
sociation Investigation, was closed five
weeks ago. It was on the Sage wire,
of which the late "Al” Adams was
backer.
Saturday morning a number of the
patrons of the exchange gathered
around the door. One man stated that
he had the "tip" about six months ago
that the shop would go under, and
wished that he had kept out. Another
stated that he had Just given (50 In
the house and had not even placed the
money. All were more or le*s cha
grined at the failure. It was stated by
some that criminal proceedings would
be sought.
This failure ot the Atlanta Stock and
Cotton Exchange will In no way affect
the other local houses on the O’Dell
wire.
