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 Steam Shovel Cut Main and Left City Un 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- 'fons or protests fUe them before or, at I'aft. during this meeting. Several 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. Nsw Officers.

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.” Blankets Men’s Overcoats Comforts Ladies’ Long Coats Underwear Children’s Coats BLANKETS. 50c to $10.00 pair.

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 louth Carolina delegation which ' llshment of a mounted rural police aft. sought to gain the convention for er the Cape Colony and Canadian eys Charleston, the convention declined to , terns. reopen tho matter.
