CUT OFF HIS GAS!
USER SUES FDR
HEAVY DAMAGES
Claiming that the Atlanta Gas Light
Company removed a meter from hts
house at 469 North Boulevard, and
shut off his gas for the non-payment
of a bill which, he says, he has re
ceipted, B. A. Harris, through his at
torney, James L. Key, filed suit In the
civil branch of the city court Friday
for 55,000 damages against that cor
poration.
It Is aHeged In the bill filed that on
November 1 the gas company sent
Harris a bill of 54.30 for gas used dur
ing the month from September 26 to
October 26. The petition alleges that
this bill was paid by Harris and that
he has It non- In his possession re
ceipted.
On November 27 .lt Is claimed that a
notice waa received from the company,
saying that the gas bill for October,
amounting to 59.57, was unpaid, and
that unless It was paid by noon the
next day the meter would be removed
and the gas supply stopped. Accord
ing to the petition this was done, not
withstanding the fact that Harris
wrote the company to the effect that he
had paid his blU and had the receipt.
It is also alleged that on two pre
vious occasions the gas company’s
agents entered Harris' house and re
moved meters and stopped furnishing
him gas without authority, and that
Ihe gas company has repeatedly at
tempted and succeeded In humiliating
him.
After Ms gas supply was cut off,;
notwithstanding the alleged fact that
the bill for the month In question was
paid and receipted for. Harris says he
was forced to light his house with
candles and lamps and to Install a cook
stove In Ihe place of the gas range.

MEMBER OF GOTHAM “400"
IS A VICTIM OF LEPROSY;
100 CASES EXIST IN CITY
New York, Dec. 21.—"There are more
than 100 well-defined cases of leprosy
In New York today. A well-known
member of the ’400’ ho* a well-devel
oped cone of the disease," says Dr. A.
S. Ashmead, recognized authority on
leprosy.
This startling statement made today
by the best-known authority on leprosy
caused amazement.
New' Yorkers thought that the leper
colony on Blackwells Island had been
abolished years ago, but today there
are five wretched men housed In wood
en sheds on the Island, patiently await
ing for death to release them.
Dr. Darlington, health commissioner,
says that leprosy Is not contagious, and
he does not feel that his department ts
called upon to deal with It. Dr. Doty,
health officer of the port, when asked
what he would do If he discovered lep
rosy In an Immigrant ship, replied:
"There would be nothing for me to
do except to pass them. Their disease
would not be classed as contagious,
therefore I would have no right to In
terfere with them."
fn direct conflict with these view's
are those of Dr. Ashmead, whose ut
terances were very emphatic.
"Leprosy," he said, "Is a, great men-

Home, Gs.. Dec. 21.—A north-bound freight
train on the Central road was wrecked at
sn early hour this morning about two miles
from Home. Several cars were ditched and
the track torn up for 100 yards.
The cab broke loose from the train ami
Jumped the track In ten feet of n trestle,
but fortunately no one was hurt. After
crossing the trestle several of the cars left
the track and were dragged some distance,
tearing up the track as they# went.
The wreck Is thought to have been cmuwi
by the brake beam on one of the cars com

ties, testing then* up in soma places and
causing tho rails to spread.
Passenger trains were delayed here sev
eral hours on account of the wreck.

ace. The port of New York le the
gateway of this country through which
the old world Is flocking, and It should
be carefully guarded. It Is criminal to
allow such a terrible plague to get root
here just because boards of health have
not been able to dlacover the medium
by which the disease Is transmitted
and therefore they hold that It is not
contagious.
"Leprosy follows the lepera. It does
not exist In races where there hss
never been any contact with the lepera.
It did not exist among the North Amer
ican Indians, but It does spread among
races In hot and cold countries alike
wherever contact with lepera Is estab
lished."
