SCORE INJURED IN BATTLE
OF STUDENTS AND POLICE
Fierce Fight Takes Place on Steps OF
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.

BOSTON, Nov. 3.-At least twenty
five persons were injured during a
clash between students of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and
police reserves shortly after midnight.
OF the number twenty are students.
Most of the injuries consist of scalp
wounds and body bruises. Four stu
dents and four officers were so seri-
ously injured as to necessitate their
removal to hospitals. Others were
treated at near by drug stores and
private residences. Those sent to hos
pitals were: Students Herbert G.
Spear, Frederick Backman, Victor
Gebnor, H. c. Higgins; Policemen B.
r. Olds. William A. Donahue, F. G.
Rich, c. B. Kelley.
Many others, whose wounds were
dressed on the spot, left for their
homes without giving their names.
The trouble occurred on the steps
of Rogers Hall, one of the Technology
buildings, on Boyleston street, where
the students had gathered, following
the parade of the Republican clubs of
Harvard University and the Institute
of Technology. The police had deter
mined to keep the students from the
steps of the building and when the
college men made a rush up the steps
they were met by the officers with
drawn clubs and a fierce tight ensued.
The officers used their clubs freely
and soon many of the college men
were bleeding from wounds on the
face and head. Hundreds Of students
hurried to the support of their fell
lows and the police summoned assist
ance, with the result that soon $50 po-
licemen were engaged with four times
as many students. 1t was half an hour
before the police were masters Of the
situation.

THE ATLANTA NEWS LIES

The report of the Parker eau
Gus at the Kimba11 House, con-
tanned on the ninth page of the
Atlanta News of June 1st, is a
very remarkable report.
The result of the caucus was
highly gratifying to the editor
of the Enterprise, who was pres
ent on that occasion, and really
defeated the candidacy of the
only Hearst man who was fool
enough to offer as a delegate to
the convention. But why the
News reporter should lie about
1t we have not yet been able to
guess.
LIE No. 1.
Hoke Smith did not call the
caucus to order, did not take
part in any of the proceedings
and we doubt if he was in the
hall.
LIE No. 2.
Adherents of each candidate
did not call the name of his
favorite, etc.
LIE No. 3.
There was no applause at
the mention of Hearst's name
NOT one bit. A slight sound,
like the rap of ha1f-dozen feet
on the floor was heard for the
fraction of a second, barely
sufficient to attract attention,
but the speaker, Chairman E.

Result Of Wednesdays
Primary for Ordinary.
Martin Lee Elected.

At the election yesterday,
Martin Lee was elected to fill
the unexpired term of his lament
ed father, Ordinary J. J. Lee.
He was opposed by Mr.. M.
Henderson, OF Ocilla, but won
the contest easily.
Of the total vote cast, 1928,
Henderson received 461, and
Lee 767, giving Lee a majority
of 306.
1t was a nice compliment to
the young man, who will, no
doubt, fill out the unexpired
term with credit to himself and
satisfaction to the county.

plain that Hearst men had

Gus has any doubt as to where
the responsibility for the dis
grace rests.
Jim Griggs, the se1f-seeking
political trixter of the second
congressional district and a
hundred of his fool friends, who
had been assem- b1ed in Atlanta
for the purpose of prostituting
the state democracy by sending
him to the nationa convention,
attended the caucus for the sole
purpose of achieving the dis
grace, and they succeeded fairly
well. His friends, kinsmen,

Dissatisfied With City Administration;
Demands Thorough Investigation

900, but calling it only $4,000,
and adding to this amount the
balance of $9.652.99 cash on hand
Jan. 1, makes a total of $50, 1884,
SO. Deducting from this sum
the $4,000 to $4,000 actually
paid out for expenses for which
the city received some benefit,
Chat is: current ordinary ex-
penses, including Streets sal
aries, schools, etc., should have
left balance in the treasury of
about $50, 900. If 100000 were col
lected, then we should have So
600 more, or $50, 900 cash on hand
now, since the collections and ex-
penditures cover the year from
one tax-levy to another.
Thus it is apparent that if the
funds had been handled in the
interests of economy" Gas we so
often see it stated) there would
be at least $4,000 in the treas
ury. Yet it is empty, and even
half of this years appropriation
for the W. and L. plant has al
ready been expended. Bills are
coming in; no money with which
to pay them, and 80 the council
adopts the very convenient ex-
pedient of borrowing money from
the banks! Wonderful economy
THAT!
But this is not all. We have
been informed that not one dol
lar of the INTEREST on the bonded
indebtedness has been paid
for which we have been taxed
$500 annually for several years,
as this was included in the ap-
preparations. This means, of
course, that the interest is doub-
ling and trebling every year and
has to be paid over again with
compound interest.
This now amounts to in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Against
this prospective levy no clause
limiting the tax rate to one per
cent will protect us. Judgments
have to be paid. That's what is
staring lis in the face through
the wonderful economy" that
has been practiced by the coun-
Gil for several years past.
The tax-rate remaining at one
per cent will put $4,000 more into
the treasury this year than last,
or about $4,000, the building
Improvements amounting to
about $2,OOO,OOO according to
Mr.. Rountree's estimate. The

Owing to the "cramped" state
of our financial affairs the "open

many more as are willing to fill

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:

when he constituted himself a
committee of one" to investigate
how matters had been running
in the w. and L. department
during his absenceof two months.
But, as you say, 'he has been
derelict in his duty by allowing
Ha1sey to escape, if his charges
are true"
Tn conclusion" the mayor
writes, will say that all I have
said in regard to the ex-superin-
ttendent are facts that cannot be
denied, and I have let him down
light. / could have told much
more, but think l have given the
people enough to convince them
that his politics was not the only
cause for his not continuing in
the service of the city,"
Now, Mr.. Editor, is it reason
able to suppose that an inexperi-
enced young man, almost boy
yet, could have done all these
things without instructors to
teach him how to proceed in
these matters? Is it at all likely
that he alone could have managed
things in such way that the ex-
penditures would exceed the re-
ceipts by over $1,000, in four
months? Could he alone have
squandered the city funds to
such an extent that half of this
years appropriations have al
ready been expended? Could he,
alone, have caused bills to be
presented to such an amount
that it has exhausted the treas
ury and obliged the council to
borrow money to meet them?
Would he alone have dared to
purchase goods promiscuously,
for which the city has no use,
unless he had the sanction of at
least some in the water and light
department? Would he have had
the audacity to furnish water to
consumers who had made no ap-
plication for it in the regular
way, unless he knew that he had
PACKERS" in this unlawful trans
action? Where was the water
and light committee? Off on a
vacation, too? Could Halsey alone
have collected and embezzled
eight hundred dollars in three
or four months, without anyone
being aware of it? Believe it who
can!
The mayor says that he has
let him down light" So the
story is not half told. The most
interesting part is yet to come!
The sooner the better. Murder
will out!"
II our supposition is correct,
that young Halsey has been
made a cats-paw of to rake the
chestnuts out of the fire for 9TH
ers," the best thing he can do is
to turn states evidence. His
youth and inexperience will be
his protection and the law will
exonerate him. Others in the
same boat" may profit by the
suggestion. "A word to the wise,
etc."
Now let us see how things have
been managed in a general way
since Jan. /, 1908. Rountree re-
ported at the first meeting held
that year, that there was a cash
bolance of $9,655.99 on hand. In
your issue of May Is, same year,
you say; Taking $1,3OO,O0O as
the basis of assessments, we will
have practically SIS, 900, on a one
per cent tax levy, or perhaps
$4,000 TO $4,000 more than will
be necessary for ordinary cur
rent expenses aud schools" But
your estimate of SIS, 900 for total
receipts is too low, since the ad-
yalorem tax came to $4,000, the

HIS ELECTION IS SURE.

Notwithstanding the vicious
attacks that two or three news
papers who imagine they are
leaders" have made upon Judge
Griggs for exercising the right
of favoring a distinguished citi-
zen and democrat for the presi-
dental nomination, his election
as delegate to the national con-
vention is practically assured.
It is as certain as anything can
be that has not already happened.
AS an able and distinguished
public servant and a national fig
ure in the affairs of the demo-
cratic party, he will be accorded
this honor, regardless of the can
didacy of any man who happens
to aspire to to the presidency.

We are glad to know that our dear

be guilty Of writing such-especially
the one intimating that the editor Of

We have never mentioned "post

reason to believe Mr.. Wears was to
do the writing for Mr.. Hughes, az

were reliable-had told us SO. We
ere satisfied Mr.. Geo. +. Wallace

ing on the motives of the editor of

We can assure the writer-for-reve-
