ALLEGATION OF NEPoTlSM.
Atlanta Mayor Accuses City Officials

. VI "oiN NihS q VI at
The mayors veto of the resolution
raising the salaries of the general
manager and secretary of the water
works was unanimously overridden
by the Atlanta city council Monday
afternoon. .. ....... -.
The veto message was of considera-
bic length, and most sensational in its
terms, intimating that members of
council had been induced by the dis.
tribution of official patronage to vote
for high salaries. 49,. j..
The message also dealt with public
officials who fail to meet financial OBJ
legations, a feature which Mayor
Woodward promised to deal with fully
and frankly in his annual message.
In this he was understood to refer
to General Manager Park Woodward
of the waterworks and Comptroller j.
H. Goldsmith, both of whom have re-
Gently been through bankruptcy.
Just before the adjournment OF
council Alderman Holland and Coun-
cilmen Patterson and Ellis rose to
questions Of personal privilege, and
said some rather salty things in re:
gard to the former phase Of the mes
sage. These three members of coun.
Gil had been named as having rel.
atives who had recently been given
jobs at the city ball. ~

FlAL DENIALS ARE MADE
Answers to Certain Parts Of Hyde's
Testimony Given Before the lnsur-
ance Investigation Committee
in New York City.

Former Governor Benjamin B.
Oteu, Jr.. and United States Sena'
tor Chauncey M. Depew, as witness
es before the legislative insurance in
vestigation committee, at New York,
Thursday, denied parts Of the testi-
mony OF James Hazen Hyde. in which
their names were used.
Mr. Odell. in the course OF his
testimony. called MIR. Hyde's state
ments base calumny." and when he
was asked whether ne directly or in
directly had made threats to have the
charter Of the Mercantile Trust COM
pany revoked, his face flushed, and,
striking the arm of the witness char
with his fist, he exclaimed:
There is no truth in that state
ment. so help me God!"
Mr.. Odell was the first witness Of
the day. He said no political pressure
was brought to bear in the settlement
of his suit against the Mercantile
Trust company, and that it was set
tied the same as suits brought by
others.
He said he had been advised by
counsel that his claim was just
one, and that any court would have
awarded him more than he received
In the settlement.
He knew of the Introduction of the
Amber bill, which, it is said, might
have affected the Mercantile Trust
company's charter; and, while he did
not suggest It's introduction, he saw
no objection to it.
Mr.. Odell denied that he ever made
q statement to e. H. Hartman or any
one else that retaliatory measures
would be taken against the Mercan-
tile Trust company. The witness said
he and Mr.. Hartman were personal
friends. but that they had no business
relations.
he wrote letter on behalf OF
Mr.. Hyde's candidacy for the post OF
ambassador to France This was at
the request of William H. Mcintyre,
one Of the vice presidents OF the
Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Mr.. Odell said he had never So
licited political contributions, but pos
sibly some moneys might have come
to him through the national commit;
tee or Senator Thomas c. Platt, as ths
latter had always gathered together
the funds in New York state, except
in the last year.
81 Senator Depew was examined with
regard to his syndicate participation
and his duties as counsel to- the
/ Equitable Society. Regarding the am
Sbassadorship to Paris, Senator De-
pew said Mr.. Hyde came to him and
solicited his influence to secure the
appointment.
+ Senator Depew brought the matter
! to the attention Of the president, al
though he told Mr.. Hyde he was too
young, and the president said it was
utterly impossible to make such an
appointment.

MRS. NrcHENRY TO LECTURE.
viii Accept an Engagement With
Temperance Federation.

Winfield, Kan, June 29.-The Cour-
Ter says: Mrs. Myra McHenry has in
formed a Courier reporter that she has
about decided to accept d permanent
engagement with the National Fedora
ton of Temperance, to lecture She
has had an offer for this a long time,
and now feels that the time has come
for it and that she is ready. The fed
Grafton, she says, is the organization
that engaged Mrs. Carrie Nation in the
lecture field for some time, but owing
to Mrs. Nations extreme radicalsm,
they had to let her go. It appears that
Mrs. Nation is so extreme that she
wants now and right away to abolish
the manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquors for even medicinal and scien-
tiffc purposes. This is farther than
the prohibitionist and federation go at
this time, they being only opposed to
its use as a beverage. Mrs. McHenry
says that alcohol is not necessary as a
medicine, but the people are not yet
ready to accept this idea, and that
even she does not see how its use in
the mechanical arts and in the sciences
can be avoided.

He FEICNED DEATH.
One Man Out of Eight Escaped Lynch-
ing by Georgia Mob.

Watlzinsville. Ca, June 29.-Of the
eight prisoners who were taken from
the Jail here this morning by a MOB
seven were shot to death within zoo
yards of the center Of the town.
Eight men were carried to the scene
of the lynching but one miraculously
esca ped death by falling to the ground
when the volley was fired and felgning
death.
Joe Patterson negro feigned death
and the mob left him. thinking he, too,
had been riddled with bullets.
Four Of the prisoners were charged
with being implicated in the murder
of HoIbrook and his wife several weeks
ago and one was held for attempted
criminal assault. The others were in
jail on minor charges. The mob form
ed quietly just after midnight and
marched in order to the jail where the
keys were demanded of the jailer. The
demand was made at the point of rifles
and the jailer realized that resistance
was useless. With the keys in its pos
session the mob opened all the cells,
ordered the trembling inmates out and
then lined up, in single file, tying them
with ropes.
The prisoners, eight in number. were
marched to a corner lot within 200
yards of the Jail and in the heart of
the town where they were then
bound to a fence with their hands tied
behind The work had been so quietly
town had not been aroused.
Shot All at Once.
At a command by the leader the mob
stepped back d few PAGES, took delib-
crate aim and fred a volley from. rifles
shotguns and pistols into the line of
prisoners. Every man in front of the
mob fell at the volley.
Believing its work had been made
complete, the mob quickly dispersed.
An examination by the 5ailer who had
been forced by the mob to accompany
it to the scene of the execution showed
that seven of the men had been riddled
by bullets but Joe Patterson was found
to have been only slightly injured. Pat
tersOns escape from death was as by
a miracle, for the fence post to which
he had been bound was torn into frag-
presence OF mind to fall with his ILL
fated companions and remain motion
less upon the ground.
The rattle of the volley aroused the
town Scores of citizens sprang from
their beds in alarm, to find the mob
no where in evidence. however.
The strength of the mob has been
variously estimated. The jailer said
that there were many armed men. all
wearing masks. He says he delivered
the keys to the men believing it better
to do that than to resist, which he was
told meant dynamite to the prison.
Gaining entrance to the jail, the mob
first sought Candy Price, who was ar
rested late yesterday afternoon by a
posse from Oconee county. At the time
of his arrest a Iynching was narrowly
averted. Price was charged by Mrs
Weldon Dooley. who lives in the suburbs
of Watkinsville. with having attempted
criminal assault Wednesday afternoon.
No further trouble is anticipated.
