DoDGED TAX PAYMENTS.
BlaIOck Committee Looking Up the

Atlanta, Ca. July 13.-The Blalock COM

payment of the professional tax by the
officials of railroad The chairman states
that the payment has practically been
lodged In toto. OF the presidents Of about
twenty street railroads. only three have
met the legal requirement. Mr.. Berry
claims that the stirring up Of the question
will bring large sums into the treasury
from del.nquents.
The law does not specifically include
street railways, but the attorney general
has held that the term railroads" en-
braces all.
The tax books were further examined to
see whether the building and loan assoc
cations had complied with the Jaw direct
ing them to deposit three-fourths of their
securities with the state treasurer. so
many of them have gone to the wall, with
disastrous consequences to stockholders,
that it Is highly necessary that these in
situations be Investigated thoroughly to
ascertain the value of their holdings" said
Mr.. BlaloCk. He thought the rs per cent.
clause of the law had been mostly ig-
nored.
Insurance, express, telegraph, telephone
and electric light companies are also un-
der investigation. When asked if an ute
rior object of the committee was not to
ascertain data to attack consolidation I'M
der the non-competidve act, the chairman
smiled significantly and evasively answer
ed that consolidation made It very hard
TO ascertain whether or not the companies
had paid the amounts for which they are
responsible under the tax act.

BURGLAR SHOOTS A BLUEcoAT.

DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED.

piciously and Called on Them For
an ExpIanatiOn--One Ran and the
other Replied by Opening Fire
with n RevOIVer-The officer Gets
the Worst of the Exchange of
shots and the CrRcksman Escapes.
Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Between 3 and 4
o'clock this morning. Patrolman r. l..
Albert was shot by a burglar in fear of
arrest near the bridge on Broad street.
He now lies at the point of death, though
It is hoped that he has chance to re-
cover Burglars have committed many
depredations here of late and killed one
man, drug clerk, who confronted them
late at night in the store they had broken
into. II is supposed that an organized
and unusually desperate gang is operating
here. Policeman Albert approached two
negroes standing in the shadow of an
awning He called upon them TO know
what they were about. One ran and the
officer ordered the other to hold up his
hands. He was answered with a pistol
shot. The patrolman's pistol failed to
fire at first, but eventually the exchange
of shots sounded like a bombardment.
Another policeman rushed up in time to
see the fleeing negro running across the
Broad street bridge after Policeman AL
bert had been shot. He fired repeatedly
at the fugitive, but turned aside on hear
ing Policeman Albert cry out that he mad
been killed. and the miscreant escaped
10 the railroad tracks. He was pursued
by citizens, but secreted himself, and no
serious hunt was made for him till po
liceman acquainted with the gravity OF
his offense arrived, and then It was too
late. Two negroes were arrested to-day,
but released.
The wounded officer lies at the hospital
IN q critical condition. though 1t has been
ascertained that his wound, while in the
body is not as at first supposed, in the
abdomen. He is not allowed to talk. TWO
pistols, a chisel and hat were found near
the scene of the shooting. The pistols
were identified as having been stolen from
the Fitten-Thompson Hardware Company
recently, when that establishment was
burglarized
The bullet entered Policeman Albert's
right lung. An operation was performed
this morning and some hope, though very
slender. is entertained of his ultimate re-
coVery.
One negro arrested in the Albert case
is still held. He is the son of Moses
Bently, at present a barber, but at one
time a member of the legislature Moses
shot and killed another member in the
corridors of the old capitol. That was IN
reconstruction days.

Augusta, Ga, July 13.-There were no
further developments to-day in the But
ler-Bohler controversy about Rlchmond's
poll tax. Editor Butler continues to wear
his pistol in plain sight and Tax Collector
Boiler is still handicapped with a bond to
keep the peace. AS Mr.. Boiler is one of
the most genial and peaceable men in the
world, there is no reason to apprehend any
difficulty. He maintains that his only in
tention has been to have Editor Butler
set him right by a publication explaining
the situation. In answer to note from
Mr.. Boiler, Editor Butler replied: ut is
not my desire or intention to do any one
an injustice by insnuation. and l am free
to admit that the headline, Lost, Stray
ed or Stolen was written hurriedly. II
is a common expression. and being a ster-
otyped one l used ii for that reason. l
am willing to state publicly and privately
that do not believe that you have mis-
appropriated or stolen one cent of the
county's money after coming into your pos
session. do insist, and you cannot deny.
that considerable discrepancy exists in
Richmond county between the polls cast
and polls collected. You told me that al
you could do when people failed to paw
their poll tax was TO issue executions for
the same and turn them over to the prop
er authorities. If you have done this. I
cannot see why you should take offense
