Atlanta Constitution, Friday: Alfred
I. Craven, the young man who Is alleged
to have forged the name Of L. II. Hall to
a check on the Lowry Banking company
several weeks ago, was released for the
second time yesterday from the Fulton
county Jail on bond. Since the first bond
was forfeited and the subsequent rearrest
of the prisoner, his friends have been
making strenuous efforts to secure his
liberty second time, and were not sue
cessful until yesterday. The bond was
$500, and was signed by seven gentle
men.
Will Put Up a Watergauge.
The town council has authorized DR.. A.
Y. Cartwright, as chief of the fire depart
ment, to place water gauge on the stand
pipe. The idea originated with DR.. Cart
wright. The device that he proposes to
make answer is very simple. First the
standpipe will be graduated on the out
side with proper marks and figures. Then
there will be a long chain, with float on
one end and a ball on the other. The
float will lie on the water, the ball will
rest on the outside of the pipe, and apul-
ley at the top of the pipe will decrease the
friction sufficiently to allow the ball to go
up the outside of the pipe as the water
goes down the inside. The lower figures,
Of course, will indicate the higher column
of water.
