ATLANTA WATERWORKS
PAY CITY A PROFIT
Mayor Livingston Mims Answers a
Question as to the Water
Service of Atlanta.
John W. Tomlinson, attorney for the ]
Board of Trade, received a telegram from
Mayor Livingston Mims yesterday stat
ing that the Atlanta water works do not
coat the city a cent, but are paying a
handsome profit. The telegram was In
answer to a special delivery letter sent
Mayor Mims asking the status of the
Atlanta water works, the facts to be
used in the fight being made by the Board
of Trade against the water rates in Bir
mingham.
Following are copies of the letter and
telegram:
Mayor of Atlanta:
Dear Sir—It was stated here today in I
a meeting regarding the water rates of
this city that Atlanta, Ga., loses $180,000
per annum by furnishing water at your
present rates. If it is a fact that your
city does not lose anything in furnishing
water at present rate please wire at our
expense tomorrow without fall.
Yours very truly,
roy McCallough,
Secretary Board of Trade.
Roy McCallough, Secretary, etc.:
Letter just received. Report absolutely
false. Department pays handsomely.
LIVINGSTON MIMS, Mayor.
According to the figures obtained by
the Board of Trade, the water rates of
Birmingham are 30 cents per 1000 gallons,
while in Atlanta the rate is 10 cents per
1000 gallons. Members of the Board of
Trade say this is in a large measure due ,
to the fact that Atlanta has municipal
ownership and that the Birmingham wa- !
ter works are in the hands of a private
corporation.

DESCENT CITY IS
STILL MINUS CARS
,'ar Men Consent to Open Ne
gotiations Through Mayor.
NO ATTEMPT TO RUN CARS
Mayor Capdevlelle Feels Hopeful
That the Differences Will Be
Adjusted at an Early Date.
President Pearson Arrives.
New Orleans, October 1.—When tbo
New Orleans Railway company this
morning summarily broke off further ne
gotiations looking to a settlement of the
street car strike, it looked as If the
gauntlet had been thrown down, and it
would be a fight to a finish. That was at
2 o’clock this morning.
Mayor Capdevlele did not give up hope,
however, and during the course of the
day had a conference with the car men’s
executive committee, in which they ex
pressed a willingness to re-open nego
tiations through the mayor. No more let
ters passed, however. The car men Anally
came to the point where they were will
ing to submit the alleged violations of the
contract of last April to a conference be
tween the car men and the railway offi
cials, and In the event that they could
not agree, that an arbitrator be appoint
ed agreeable to both sides. This question
is tonight the subject of a conference be
tween the mayor and the railway officials.
The latter insist in the first place that
the men go back to work immediately.
Union Men Give in a Little.
The fact that the union has come
around to the view of submitting the al
leged violations of tffe April contract
shows a change from the attitude they
have been assuming during the past two
days. It is a move towards the original
proposition made by the railway com
pany Monday morning, and is the first
real step that shows any indication of
bearing fruit.
In the meantime the general situation
shows no material change. The company
has not made any effort to run passenger
cars. If there is no settlement tonight
it is understood that an effort will be
made to operate cars tomorrow. The
company has prepared a call for several
hundred men and preparations have been
In progress all day looking towards a re
sumption. President Ben Commons of the
carmen this afternoon made a tour of all
the car barns and cautioned the men to
abstain from violence. He urged them
not to molest any of the cars which may
be taken out. The broken feed wires
have been repaired near Audubon park,
and as the company has ample forces in
the power houses, everything will be
ready. The postal authorities have got
ten after the company for failing to
transport the letter carriers with the
usual facility and four mall cars were
run without trouble. Tomorrow, no mat
ter what turn the negotiations take to
night, nine mall cars will be sent out
protected by four policemen each.
President Pearson Arrives.
President Pearson of the railways com
pany arrived from New York this morn
ing and immediately went into consulta
tion with the other officials of the com
pany. He was Joined by the chief con
sulting engineer, Charles H. Lederly, of
St. Louis, who has Just had some experi
ence with strikes in that city. Mr. Pear
son declined to say anything about the
strike beyond expressing his approval of
everything done by the other officials in
his absence.
Mayor Capdevlelle tonight, before go
ing into conference, said to the Associat
ed Press:
"I have good reason to hope at the
present time that we will he able to ad
just the differences that have kept the
contending elements apart. I am more
encouraged tonight than at any time
since the trouble began.”
The labor situation, aside from the car
strike, seems to show some improvement.
The threatened strike of the teamsters
and loaders may not take place. The
bogs draymen have made up their minds
to stand out against the demands.
The negotiations brought about by the
mayor for a temporary settlement of the
car strike again fell through. The mayor
had a conference with President Pearson
and other railway officials late tonight,
at which they expressed their willingness
to accept the proposition advanced by the
mayor on condition that the men resume
work In the morning. The mayor then
sent for the carmen’s committee and re
lated the result of his conference with
the railway officials, and then was sur
prised to And that the carmen had
changed their minds and would not con
sider such a proposition. They Insist upon
taking up the new agreement as well as
the old.
Efforts are still to be made at midnight
to bring them together again.

(Continued from First Page)

raised the price of meat and coal to an
extent which threatens the Impoverish

the republican policies, they are fostered
by republican laws, and excused, apolo

publican administration, in return for
campaign subscriptions and political sup

Relief From High Prices Promised.
"We promise the people relief from
the exorbitant prices of the necessaries

of immediate and practically alleviation
the present republican tariff laws should
be amended by putting those products of
trusts which are essential to the life,
comfort and necessities of the people
upon the free list and thereby prevent
the further continuance of monopoly un
der the plea of protection.
We reiterate that provision of the na
tional democratic platform which de
clares that "we condemn the Dlngley
tariff law as a trust breeding measure,
skillfully devised to give to the few fa
vors which they do not deserve and to
place upon the many burdens which they
should not bear."
The Trust Question.
The republican party confesses Itself
unwilling or incompetent to deal with
this problem. Its national and state plat
form contains cunningly devised phrases,
which, however, scarcely conceal the in
sincerity of their pretensions and are
only designed to still further deceive and
mislead the people and postpone the re
lief which they demand. While the dif
fuse, evasive and contradictory partisan
speeches of the President, In which he
criticises every simple and plain remedy
proposed and hints at redress in the far
distant future by means of an impracti
cable, dangerous and doubtful scheme of
a constitutional amendment—only ex
hibits the grotesqueness of his attempt to
ride two horses upon this subject In his
endeavor to please the people and at the
same time not offend the trusts.
There is no middle ground on this ques
tion; those who are not against the trusts
are in favor of them.
The suggestion of a constitutional
amendment is not new. It was previously
proposed in the republican house of rep
resentatives Just before the national elec
tion of 1900 and thereafter immediately
dropped from consideration. It was not
approved In the republican national plat
form of that year, nor recommended in
the messages of any republican President.
It has only been revived after the recent
adjournment of congress when the op
portunity for Its passage had gone, and
Is simply another "Ignis fatuus" proposi
tion of procrastination intended to pre
vent immediate remedal legislation.
The republican party canont escape re
sponsibility for existing trust conditions.
In full control of all branches of the
national government, as well as of this
state, its failure to enact adequate legis
lation or to successfully enforce existing
anti-trust laws, attest either the insincer
ity of its professions or the incompeten
cy of Its administrations. We condemn
the neglect of the federal and state ad
ministration to enforce the provisions
of the statutes known as the Sherman
anti-trust law. The Donnelly anti-trust
law and the conspiracy laws defining
crimes against the trust combinations
violating them.
No British Colonial system.
We believe in territorial expansion—the
expansion of Jefferson and of Poke and
in the honorable acquisition of desirable
territory which can be erected into states
of the union and whose people are willing
and fit, or capable of becoming fit, for
American citizenship. We favor trade
expansion by every peaceful and legiti
mate means, but we are unalterably op
posed to the seizing or the purchasing of
distant lands to be held as colonies anal
ogous to the British colonial system, to
be governed outside of the constitution
and whose people can never become citi
zens.
We condemn the Philippine policy of
the present administration. The Filipinos
cannot become citizens without endan
gering our civilization; they cannot be
subjects without imperiling our form of
government. The national policy toward
them should not remain uncertain and
vacillating, but the purpose of the nation
as to the ultimate government or dispo
sition of those islands should be in har.
mony with our traditions and explicitly
declared. As the original friends and ad
vocates of the cause of Cuban Indepen
dence, to the support of which a republi
can administration only reluctantly yield
ed, democrats demand justice for Cuba
In the reduction of tariff upon her princi
pal products, not a mere paltry reduction
of 20 per cent of existing duties which a
republican President expresses a willing
ness to grant and to which even his own
party in congress does not assent, but
the full measure of justice involved In
the reduction of the tariff to a strictly
revenue basis. The refusal of the present
republican congress, under the dictation
of special selfish interests, to give Cuba,
through proper tariff concessions, a living
chance of establishing a stable and ef
ficient government under her flag was a
shamefut betrayal of national honor. We
cafl the attention of the people to the
equivocal character of the republican
platform In this state, which only favors
that relief to Cuba "proposed by the re
publicans In congress," while some of the
republicans in congress propose one thing
and some another, and nothing whatever
was accomplished.
Adequate Justice to Cuba can only be
obtained through the election of a demo
cratic congress.
Interference With Judiciary.
We arraign the administrations, both
national and state, for their attempted
interference with the Independence of the
Judiciary. The natlorial administration
has traded national and state Judgeships
for partisan advantages.
The state administration has attempted
to secure to itself the control of the
designation of supreme court Justices who
are In districts other than their own. un
dertaking thereby to pervert a purely Ju
dicial function into a scheme for partisan ,
and personal favoritism.

Old M. & 0. Controversy in
Mississippi at Last Settled,
NO LEGAL COMPETITION
Attorney General, After Investigation,
Decides That Southern Has Le
gal Right to Acquire Title
and Build Branch Lines.
•
Jackson, Miss., October 1.—A chafer of
incorporation of “The Southern Railway
company in Mississippi” was approved
by Governor Eongino today, and this1 set
tles the controversy as to the legality of
the merger of the Mobile and Ohio and
Southern interests in this state.
The charter permits the Southern to
acquire title to the Mobile and Ohio, to
build branch lines and to operate the
Memphis and Charleston.
E. Im Russell, general counsel for the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, who was here
today arranging for the incorporation,
gave out the following official statement:
“More than a year and a half ago the
OUUIIIC11I AVO.ll W cxy uuiupailj U1 Cliuov u
over 90 per cent of the capital stock of
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company.
It was claimed at the time by the railroad
commission and other officers of the
state that such purchase violated the
state constitution, and at the same time
violated the statute which prohibits one
railroad company from controlling and
operating the railroad of another com
pany which was competing for the same
business in the same territory. The attor
ney general made a thorough investiga
tion of this question and found as a fact
that there never had been any legal com
petition between the lines of the two rail
roads, neither within nor without the
state. Thereupon it was suggested by the
attorney general that if the purchase of
the stock by the Southern Railway com
pany violated the constitution this could
be avoided by the Southern becoming in
corporated in the state, and thereby sub
mitting itself and its property to the Jur
isdiction of the state gpvernment and its
courts. This proposition was submitted to
the management of the Southern railway,
and after due consideration it was de
cided that in order to be at peace with
the state and her officials that the com
pany would become domesticated as a
Mississippi corporation. The papers were
all prepared and submitted to the attor
ney general, and after he had made cer
tain changes the governor issued a
proclamation authorizing such appli
cants to proceed to organize as a Missis
slppl corporation.”
LIGHT VOTE IN GEORGIA.
Judge Candler Defeats Judge Ross for
Associate Justice.
Atlanta, October 1.—The election for
governor and state house officials held
throughout this state today passed off
quietly, no organized opposition having
been made against the democratic ticket
which was elected in full as follows:
Governor—Joseph M. Terrell.
Secretary of State—Phillip Cook.
Comptroller General — William A.
Wright.
Attorney General—John C. Hart.
Treasurer—Robert E. Park.
Commissioner of Agriculture—O. B.
Stevens.
School Commissioner—W. B. Merritt.
Prison Commissioner—Thomas Eason.
Associate Justices Supreme Court—
Samuel Lumpkin, A. J. Cobb and John S.
Candler.
The vote cast throughout the state
was light as compared with the ballots
of previous years.
The only contest was between Judge
John S. Candler and Judge John P. Ross,
both democrats, to fill the unexpired term
of Associate Justice Hal T. Lewis, who
recently resigned on account of ill health.
Judge Candler won by a safe majority.
In some of the counties a ticket was put
out by the populist party, but the dem
ocratic majorities were overwhelming.

New York, October 1.—The coal situa
tion in New York Is no better today, and
must be described as worse on account
of the Increasing fear that relief may not
come before much suffering has resulted.
The supply of hard coal In the tenement
districts Is now at such a low ebb that
dealers are charging their customers a
trifle over 1 cent a pound for this ar
ticle.
Owners of flats and office buildings are
In a state bordering on panic. A number
today said that they were unable to get
more than a ton of coal at a time, and in
one ca3e 525 was asked.
The gar companies are beginning to re
fuse more contracts owing to the great
demand for gas as a fuel, and It Is as
serted that the supply of oil stoves can
not begin to fill the orders received within
the last two months.
The scarcity of coal Is becoming a se
rious matter on Staten Island. Four yards
closed yesterday, having exhausted their
supply. Scores of women and children
jnrfy be seen all day collecting driftwood
