Uouncll met at 3:3fl o'clock Tuesday
afternoon to probe the charges made
by Mayor. Woodward that members of
the special committee had received
fees to represent certain liquor men.
The chamber wa* crowded to Its ca

were on hand to preserve order. May
or Woodward began the meeting by
stating thnt A. C. Mlnhlnnett. a whis
ky dealer and former councilman, had

In reply Alderman Key said thut he

commenced tj* advocate municipal

on him.
"Mayor la Boaaad."
"The trouble Is thnt Mayor Wood

At this point the mnyor leaped to his
feet anti hurled "Infamous liar"-at Mr.
Kay, which was promptly returned.,
several minutes great confusion reign
ed, but «»nler wa* finally restored.
Aldermnn Key admitted, a* he has
aU along, thnt ho received a fee of
$150 from the Retail Liquor Dealers'
Association for representing them, hut
It wn* long before the special commit
tee wa* named to look into the liquor
quentlon. He characterised Mnyor
Woodward'* Informant n* a “dirty and
Infamous liar."
Councilman Pomeroy rose to a ques
tion tif personal privilege ami said
Inasmuch a* his name had been
coUpled with the fair, he wanted t
state that his skirt* were clear.
When Mr. Mlnhlnnett went on the
stand Mayor Woodward asked him If
he had not told the truth about what
he h*d to|,| him.
*-- M Kvery word you said 1* true," was
the reply.
He started on matter not pertinent
an«l was culled back to the subject
Colonal 8ilverman Tastiftas.
He said that In July some of tha
dealers got together with the view of
organisation, realizing that If condi
tion* were- not bettered the good peo
ple of Atlanta w'ould make it hot for
them.
Efforts were made to get Decatur
street saloons to stop selling 5-cenf.
drinks of whisky. In August Mr. Key
was employed to dray up the rules
und by-laws of the organisation! For
this, and thin alone, he was paid a fee
of $160.
Later when the trouble arose her©
anti the saloons were closed, some of
the members wanted to get Alderman
Key to represent them, but when up-
proached, he promptly . declined. Mr.
Silverman said:
“I told them that Mr. Key could not
represent u*. and every man In the or
ganization knows down In hi* heart
that he was paid that fee for no other
service than to draw up by-laws."
At this time Mayor Woodward left
the council chamber.
Mr. Silverman stated that the reanon
the fee wn* paid to Alderman Key so
late was «lmply because dues of the
association ware not paid jfor weeks
after the service* had been performed.
