The Atlanta City Council has ap.
pointed a committee to investigate
charges brought against Mayor Wood
ward by Rev L. G. Broughton.
A special from Atlanta says: The
Mayor was ready to send his resign
alton to the Council this morning, but
ex.Secretary Hoke Smith, his em-
ployer, suggested that he address q
letter to the Council admitting the
charges, expressing peDitence and
asking for another chance TO redeem
himself This letter was written BY
DR.. Broughton, bat at the last moment
Woodward refused to sign it, being 80
advised by Mr. Hoke Smith. Much
sympathy is expressed for the wife and
daughter Of the Mayor, and Broughton's
motives and methods are condemned
By many.
Mayor Woodward is a printer. BY
hard work he rose to the position Of
councilman. alderman, and last Decem.
Der he was elected mayor. The temp.
tations Of his high position were too
much for him, and after twenty-five
years Of total abstinence he returned to
his cups.
Public sentiment is divided. Brough.
ton and his friends are boiling over
with wrath. but the indications are
that the Mayor will hold the fort.

remove the county seat to Parksley.
Accomac Courthouse is about -four
miles from the railroad, and has
been the county capital since Colonial
days indeed, for a time long antedat-
ing the Revolution.
The Board of Supervisors was not
content with making, or trying to
make it, certain that the courthouse
would not be removed to Parksley, but
even went to the extent of decapitating
or attempting to decapitate, several of
the county officials.

may have been based upon reasons

it so.
Meanwhile. an effort will be made
to get out an injunction to restrain the

SUFFERING FOR ANOTHER MAN.
Innocence Of a Prisoner in Cincinnati
Firmly Established

Edward II Pittman, aged scion Of II
noble family, languishing in prison at
the Cincinnati workhouse, is an inno-
cent man. Newspapers. detectives, the
police department, and police judge
thought him guilty. Sixteen witnesses
identified him as a man who had secur
ed money from them by practiciDg q
trick game. Every effort was made in
the police court by excellent attorneys
and Police Judge to see il the sixteen
women who identified Pittman could
not be mistaken. They were positive.
The Judge reset the case and heard it
at length to give the prisoner every
possible chance, but the detectives Sc
cured more witnesses and Pittman' 5
efforts to prove his innocence were
futile. Every witness insisted that he
could speak German. Pittman insist
that he could not, and every artifice
was used to trip him into betraying a
knowledge Of the German language.
Pittman always said that he could not
understand the language. He was set
down as "smart crook, y" and his pic
ture placed in the rogues gallery.
The other day two detectives wereS0n
a street corner and one of them said
Hello, there goes Pittman's twin
brother down Central Avenue as sure as
Won are alive" and both detectives
started after the man. He attempted
to escape. but was overtaken. Under
his arm the man carried bundle. 1t
contained all of the paraphernalia Of
the trick game by which the women
were swindled, and the man could speak
German. The detectives trapped him
into speaking the language the moment
they overlook him. The man was
taken to police headquarters, and ac-
nowledged his guilt,

LESS WORK FOR ALGER
COMMISSION no TAKE CHARGE OF
ALL COLONIAL AFFAIRS.
Gen. p. Kennedy, Col. Curtis Guild,
Jr., and George t. Watkins
to BE Appointed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The secretary of
war has completed the organization of a
colonial commission to undertake the adj
ministration here in Washington of all mat
tiers of detail respecting the government of
the territories acquired during the war or
occupied by the United States forces. The
personnel of the commission will be- Gen.
Robt. p. Kennedy, Of Bellefontaine. o.; Col.
Curtis Guild jr., of Massachusetts, now serv-
ing on Gen. Fitzhugh Lees staff, and George
T. Watkins, of Grand Rapids. Mich. Up to
this point the secretary and assistant secre-
tary have undertaken themselves to deal
with the administration of insular affairs
but the questions involved have become so
numerous and complicated that it has been
found absolutely necessary to call for as
sistance. This commission will deal with
the bestowal of franchises, of concessions,
the distribution of moneys to be spent in
public Improvement, and all troublesome is
sues that have arisen and are likely to
arise in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. The new commission is to act en-
tirely within the powers conferred by the
secretary of war; and his sanction will be
necessary to give effect TO any line of action
proposed by the commission.
General Brookes protest against the con-
tinuation of the collection of taxes in Cuba
through the Spanish Bank has not yet
reached the War Department so that it
has not been possible to reach any decision
in the matter. The officials, of course. are
disposed to show all possible consideration
for the feelings of the Cubans in this mat
ter, but there are other considerations than
those of pure sentiment involved, such. for
instance, as a due regard for economy, made
necessary by the fact that so heavy are the
requirements for the island in the matter
of public improvements and maintenance
of sanitation, that all funds derived from
all possible sources of taxation will not suf-
flee completely to meet them. Therefore.
one of the first considerations to be taken
into account by the officials is the compare
tive cost of the present tax collecting sys-
tenn and that of an entirely new system,
acting under direct governmental authority
TIE latter would require the employment of
a number of CubanS as collectors, and from
that consider alton might appeal strongly TO
the officials here who have been earnestly
seeking to give employment to as many of
those people as possible
The department has not yet completed its
plans for the allotment of funds between
the provinces of Cuba to be used in public
works. The situation in Santiago has been
noted with some concern, but ii is expected
that as soon as Major General Wood, the
military governor of the province, reaches
Santiago he will be able to convince the
people of the wisdom and justice of the
receipts prepared by the Washington gov
