    ELEVATOR OWNERS
WIN THEIR POINT
The ordinance regulating the owning,
erecting and operating of elevators was
reported adversely by the ordinance
committee at the meeting Tuesday aft,
ernoon.
The proprietors of moat of the large
buildings in the city. In which ele
vators are operated, had been Invited
to the meeting, and they protested
agalnst-the ordinance. They Said the
elevators were subjected to rigid In
spection by experts and were Insured.
rThe desire of the police board that
an ordinance be passed, reducing the
educational average for applicants for
positions on the force from 70 to 50,
was acted upon favorably, after a long
discussion.
The ordinance Introduced by Aider-
man Chosewood, requiring that the
park board should consist of ten mem
bers, one from each ward, to be ap
pointed by the mayor, and of the mayor
and chairman of. the park* committee
of council, was also reported favora
bly.
The ordinance to repeal the ordl
nance requiring that men employed (n
private detective bureaus be examined
by the police board, was reported upon
favorably. The petition for the repeal
was made by the Pledihont Detective
Agency.
The ordinance Introduced by Coun
cilman Terrell, that no bill board In the
city shall be more than live feet high,
was reported upon adversely. Mr. Ter
rell says he will push the ordinance
anyway, as Its passage would stop, to
a large extent, the exhibition of In
decent pictures on the bill boards.

shooting affray occurred between Jones

At the preliminary hearing here yes

OF
TO
Albany, N. Y„ Oct. 31.—According to
a decision rendered at about 11 o’clock
last night by the court of appeals, the
making of independent nominations by
multiple petition was not contrary to
the election statute. The decision af
firmed the right of the Independence
League to make such nominations. The
finding Is a great victory for William
Randolph Hearst and Ills Independence
League.
The court decides that the cer
tificate hist hied had prior claim, and
the Independence League had a right
to designate Its own candidates.
Candidates' Names Restored.
The court held that the Judicial nom
ination of John O. Brady could not be
placed In the Independence League col
umn, but that tlje following names were
entitled to a place in the league column
of the official ballot:
Francis E. Shober, Tammany candi
date In the Seventeenth congressional
district; Charles V. Farmer, Tammany
candidate In the Eighteenth congres
sional district; Henry M. Ooldfoglc,
Tammany candidate In the Ninth con
gresslonal district. Judge Otto Rosal
sky’s name will also go In the In'
dependence League column, together
with the names of three assembly and
senatorial candidates.
Mr. Hearst Pleased.
The appeals In the other cases were
dismissed on the ground that questions
of fact were Involved which would have
to be passed upon by the appellate d]
vision, but as It would.be Impossible
for the latter court to dispose of them
In time to permit the priming of the
official ballot, the cases will probably
not be sent back for review. •
Mr. Hearst was in Rochester last
nlgfit when Informed of the decision of
the court l(e said;
"The victory’Is mitre than n victory
for the league or for the candidates. It
is a victory for all the people. It gives
hope that In time we may also win the
victory to have the people's vote cast
at the last election honestly counted
and the result honestly declared.''
ROOSEVELT WON’T TAKE
. HAND IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Washington, Oct. 31.—It Is generally
understood that President Roosevelt
will take no action on the reported
statement of Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the Republican state com.
mlttee nf New York, that lie (Wood
ruff) w-ould advise the president to re
pudiate a campaign document Issued by
the Independence League In support of

When Secretary of State Root makes

ident und Mr. Root have conferred
frequently regarding the position to bs
taken by the secretary.
While Mr. Roosevelt Is known to
desire the election of Mr. Hughes, ths
Republican candidate, It seems certain
that he will adhere to his plan of keep

New York, Oct. 31.—Two tunnel
workers, rivals In love. If Is said, fought
a duel last night In lock No. 3 of the
Belmont tunnel, where the atmospheric
pressure Is 3r> pounds, J.opi feet out
under the East river ani 135 ‘feet be
low the surface.
While the duelists fought, their fore
man, who would have Interfered,' was
attacked. The crowd attacked three
policemen, who, reeling In the high
pressure atmosphere, at last ended the
fight at revolver's point, but not before
one duelist was fattally hurt.
Wrench Against 8hov#l.
Santo Mazzelll, aged 33, fought Mi
chael Schulsky, aged 21. Schulsky
sprang at him, striking at him with a
heavy wrench. Mazzelll defended him
self with his shovel. The old workmen
knew it was a tight to tlie death. They
seized Joseph Mauro,, the negro fore
man. who Jumped between the com
batants, and ordered them bark to their
work. They threw Mauro outside the
circle they formed around the duelists
and hurled after him Joseph Santo,
who tried to help .him.
Mauro telephoned to the engineer to
hurry police Into the tunnel.
The combatants, Infuriated as they
were, fought warily. Schulsky, tho
younger man, was more active and
had the better weapon.
Fractures Adversary’s Skull.
With his wrench he parried blows
from Mazzelll's shovel and Jumped In
again and again and etruck him. He
broke three of Mazzelll’s ribs, covered
his body with bruise* .mid struck at
his- head) while his friends yelled en
couragement In his behalf In a dozen
nguagea.
Schulsky knew that little time was
left to him. Dashing aside a blow
from Mazzelll. he closed with his stag,
gerlng opponent and with all his
Strength brought down the. wrench on
his head. Matetlt fell senseless, his
skull fractured.
The enraged workmen, turned their
attention to the officers and threatened
to kill them If they Interfered. The
officers, though almost overcome by
the high pressure of air, advanced with
drawn revolvers and warned the com
batants that they would kill the first
man who would ralao his hand against
them. This quieted the disturbance.
Schulsky was locked up.
Almost without warning, death came
to A. R. Word, a prominent Georgian
and citizen of Atlanta, at hie residence,
432 Whitehall street, about 9 o'clock
Monday night. He was thought to be
In the beet of health up to tjte time of
his death and the end came as a severe
shock to the family. Two of his daugh
ters at the theater were hurriedly aura
moned to his bedside.
Mr. Word was (3 years of age and
came to Atlanta from Newnan, Oa, two
years ago. He was a prominent mer
chant In that place and from a long
business career acquired many friends
and acquaintances throughout the state.
He leaves a wife and a family of nine
children. His sone are among the most
prominent business men of this city.
Mr. Word Is survived by T. F„ W. R.

HOSTS AT SMOKER
GEORGIA WATCHES BATTLE
FROM AFAR; DEMOCRACY IS
SOLID IN E VER Y DISTRICT
By JOHN C. REE8E.
While New York and a very large
part of the rest of the country Is tom
with political strife on the eve of the
elections, November 6, Georgia sits
quietly down to watch the battle lines.
80 far as any contests are concerned,
they have all been settled, and on next
Tuesday Georgia will go through the
formality of electing eleven congress
men and three judges of the. new court
of appeals. Democracy Is so Impregna
ble In the Empire State of the South
that whatever strife Is known is among
Democrats. Republicanism In Georgia
Is a mere name when It comes to the
ballot box.
One memorable struggle has taken
place In the state, and that was the
'fight In the First district to select the
successor of the late Rqfus E. Laser.
The seieclon 6f the man for the unex-
plred term, ending March 4 next, was
an easy matter. J. W. Overstreet, of
Screven county, received the plum
without opposition.
But when It came to naming the
candidate for the long term there was
a merry row. In the special election
to name the man two candidates tied.
Shepherd and Brannen receiving 18
votes each.
One Bitter Contest,
long and bitter struggle followed,
Neither candidate would yield an lech.
The balloting continued over two
months, and near a thousand batlots
I were taken. It resulted always—Shep-
I herd 18, BrAnnen 18. It promised to
I go on indefinitely. Finally a com pro
mise was reached. Judge Samuel B.
Adams, of Savannah, was nominated.
But the rejoicing was short lived.
Judge Adams declined the nomina
tion!
Then the convention went nt It again,
hammer and tongs. Maine old result.
Then somebody played a*wlnning card.
Charles G. Edwards, a well-known
young Savannah lawyer, was offered ns
u compromise.
It smashed the deadlock to smlthor
eons. The candidate offered had ’i
brother ns a delegate. He went over
to his brother's band-wagon with a
rush, und he carried two more votes
with him. So It will be Congressman
Edwards down In the First after next
March.
In the Second district James M.
Griggs had prospective opposition early

quickly. Judge Griggs has been

Tuesday night. In their new quarter*,
351-3 East Alabama afreet, Brlcklay-
unlon. No. 14, were hoats at a
smoker and general welcome meeting,
at which were present quite a num
ber of union brleklayern and their
friends. The smoker wa* strictly a
temperance affair, lemonade and cigars
being not the least pleasant feature
of the occasion.
Several speakers 6f note In the labor
movement were present, among these
being Hon. James o. Woodward, may
or; Hon. Jerome Jonea, editor of The
Journal of Labor, William Stratus,
L. P. Marquardt and Earle E. Griggs.
This smoker la only the forerunner
of many syrh delightful oresslons to
be held among the unions of Atjanta
for the purpose of making the various
crafts better acquainted with each
other, and the cordial greeting extend
ed on this occasion made It doubly de
lightful.
The King Hardware People Are Better Equipped Than Ever Before in Their His
tory to Supply All the Wants of the Hunter.
"The slaughter of quail will begin legally In Georgia
tomorrow, November 1, and os is the custom, hundreds of
hunters go Into the fields.
“Already scores or Atlanta crack shots are making
ready to get out for the opening day, and thousands ot
birds will be bagged. From now on 'quail on toast' will
be a prime favorite In all the restaurants.
Reports from all sections of the state Indicate an
unusual profusion of birds. During the hatching season
the wqather was very favorable, and the present game
laws have alio nerved to better the game supply."
It Is ot no little Interest to stop a moment and think
ot the great improvement in shooting Irons. Thirty
years ago our fatbera would have, called a man crazy
to have oven suggested the productions of the twentieth
century, and ten years ago but very' few breech-loading
guns were sold—the price was considered fabulous—but
the twentieth century Is here and all the undreamed-of
revelations with It. The guns of today are to a sports
man what a toy Is to a child, and In olden tlmea to go
shooting was almost laborious, but the muzzle-loader la
a thing of the pait, and one can find In our (porting
goods department some of the best brands and latest

FEDERAL PRISONER CLAIMS
HIS LIBERT Y UNDER LA W
John Stevens, known at the Federal
prison, where he Is Incarcerated,
convict No. 888, will be brought before
Judge William T. Newman, of the
United States district court, Friday
and will be allowed to tell, through his
attorney, Hon. J. K. Hines, why ho
should 'be set at liberty.
Here aro tho grounds on which he
bases hts claim to liberty:
Stevens was convicted May 1. 1897.
In the courts of New York for man
slaughter and waa sent to the peni
tentiary at Auburn, N. Y., to serve nine
years. Three year*, four months and
ten days were cut from his sentence
for good behavior, but the law under
which the commutation was made pro
vides that If the prisoner le again con
victed of any crime he shall serve out
the remainder of his first sentence.
It wa* not long before Stevens was
again arrested and convlctfll In Roch
ester, N. Y.. of breaking Into a post-
office. H* was let off with a one-dollor
fine In the Federal courts with the un
derstanding that he had to serve out
his time at Auburn.
While ho was serving this last sen
tence, which his habeas corpus petition
Incidentally claims was a sentence of
the stnte of New York and not of the
Federal courts, he was transferred to
the Federal prlsun at Atlanta. He has
estimated that his sentence would have
expired October 10 and acting on this
reckoning, he Is having Warden Moyer
hauled Into court to tell under what
orders he is still held.
