Special to The Georgian.
Nashville. Tenn., Nov. 14.—The
Southern Quarantine and Immigration
convention, which at noon yesterday
assumed Its new title, of Southern Im
migration and Industrial Association,
concluded Its business last night, the
closing session being devoted to the
reading of several papers on different
topics. The report of the committee on
quarantine, which was adopted during
the day. advocated that the conference

protected.
For an hour and half Tuesday night
the water supply in the city was cut
off.
This was the result 1 of the rather
strenuous efforts of the steam shovel
employed by the Gate City Terminal
Company, In excavating dirt to make a
roadbed for the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway. The shovel ac
cidentally got hold of an eight-inch
water main. The main was broken
and some of the fragments were dug
up.
The steam shovel was worked all
Tuesday night. About 10:30 o'clock
the necldont occurred. It was at the
earner of Rhodes nnd Haynes streets.
This was at n low point of tho city.
When the main was broken the water
supply In all' the high points was cut
off.
The hotels on Peachtree, the Grady
hospital and others, as a result, were
sufferers. General Manager Park
Woodward hastily got together a force
and about midnight the main had been
repaired sufficiently for water to be
furnished all.

STREETS COMMITTEE
TO DISCUSS PETITION
The streets committee of council at
2 o’clock Friday afternoon will take
definite action on the petition of the
Gate city Terminal Company for a
tight to cross certain streets In At
lanta.
The members of the committee are
anxious that all who have any objec-

Property-owners have already raised
strenuous objections to the crossing,
mocking and closing up of streets.
take'no action In advising transfers of
maritime quarantines to the Federal
government by those states that have
not already made transfers, It being the
sense of the committee that each state
should be left at liberty to net as It
sees fit. With the matter of quaran
tine eliminated, the conference devoted
Its tlmo almost entirely to a discussion
of the Immigration problem. Under
this head the race question early took
prominence nnd did not receive Its
quietus until the convention adjourned
j last night.

Washington, Nov. 14.—Representa-
[ live L. F. Livingston, of the Fifth
Georgia district, who, Is In Washing
ton, says the people of the South are
more desirous of currency revision
i thnn they aro of tariff revision.
"The people along the Canadian and
Mexican borders,” said Mr. Livingston,
“arc thinking'more about relief from
the burdens of our. tariff laws, which
prevents their taking advantage of con
venient and legitimate trade oppor
tunities, but I feel confident the masses
of the practical people of the South
desire currency reform above every
thing else.
“We nee da more elastic currency.
Just about the time we get ready to
move our cotton, money gets tight.
New York sits back and refuses to let
us have the money, nnd the result Is
that tho price goes down because of tho
Inability to get money except at harm
fully high rates.
“A short statue repealing that sec
tion of the banking law which places a
tax of 10 per cent on notes Issued by
state brinks would. In my Judgment,
accomplish oil that is to be desired. We
could then have a most elastic system
of currency, and it would bo impossible
for a few men to control the money
supply nt the very time the demand Is
greatest and widest tor the moving of
our crops.
‘•In tho" days before the war, state
banks were allowed to Issue money,
and we hod little trouble when It was
most needed. There was plenty of cur
rency, and rates were at the some time
good. True, there was much of It not
good, but that danger could now be
eliminated.
”1 believe the public has Just as
much confidence In a state bank as In
our national banks. 1 would as soon
have the note of a state bank of Geor
gia as of any national bank of Geor
gla.”
Tho bleak weather of the past few
days Is responsible for demands being
made upon the Salvation Army head
quarters for clothing and fuel by the
poor and destitute of the city, and the
army officers are busy trying to supply
the demands of the needy.
Cast-off clothing Is wanted at the
army headquarters at 72 Marietta
street. A room Is being prepared where
this clothing will be separated and
sorted. It will be carefully tagged and
turned over to the army workers, who
go among the poorer classes of the
city, and placed where It wilt do most
good.
The army wants anything In tho way
of clothing, shoes and stockings, hats
and shirts and underclothes. Tie the
clothing Into u neat bundle and call
up the headquarters over Main 2710 L
and a wagon or a mossenger will call
for It.
"We receive demands every day for
clothing.” said Major Berrtman Wed
nesday morning, "and we would gladly
send for anything that will help keep
the body warm and comfortable. Our
workers are constantly among the
poorer classes In the mills and slums of
the city and they report every day
cases of destitution. In such cases
Immediate assistance Is rendered.
“They are not rases of shiftlessness
or dissipation either, but the destitu
tion Is usually caused by Improvidence
or Illness. Most of the poor people do
not know how to spend their money
nor for what will do the most good.
The people of Atlanta have never
fused u call from- the Salvation Army
since I have bean In your city and 1 am
sure that within a short whllo wo will
have all the clothing necessary for Im
mediate needs.”

Williams Plan.
The sentiment of the delegates Is
largely In favor of welcoming any de
sirable class of whlto Immigrants, with,
out regard to nationality, yet there ap.
peered at times some desire to keep
the black man, with all his faults,
where he Is. Possibly the moat dis
tinctive step by the convention toward
the securing of a proper proportion of
the arriving Immigrants for the South
ern states was the recommendation by
the convention that the governors of
all the Southern states be requested to
recommend the Immediate establish'
ment of bureaus of Immigration.
John Sharp Williams, in a letter read
to the delegates, offered a solution of
the ubiquitous race problem In the
suggested formation of a company with
a capital of one million dollars to buy
lands In Southern states and sell It on
time to desirable Immigrants. He rec
ommended the establishment of a rural
mounted police for the apprehension of
the criminal element of the negro.
An attempt was made at the after
noon session to reconsider the action
by which the convention decided ti
meet next year at Birmingham, but al
