mild reform of the Office which would
leave the system of street improve

man Warren, Councilmen Aldine Cham

The sentiment OF the committee was
that every one had the highest regard
for Captain Clayton, but that the prog
ress Of Improvements was wholly un-
satisfactory
In a caucus it vas informally agreed
that The construction department
should be divided into construction
department and an engineering depart

thought a business man should be in

and that the construction department
should have authority over the engi-
neering department
In the open meeting Yesterday there

SEWERS Of CITY
BAD ASSTREETS

Entire Sanitary System Has
Been Found Lacking.

In urging q reorganization Of the

in the council declared today the city,
sewers were in as bad condition as the
streets
Many sre Of the opinion that on ac-
count Of engineering mistakes Atlanta
faces the proposition Of building prac-
tically an entire neU sewer system
This would not only cost the city big
sums, bat would mean assessments Of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
against property owners.
The trouble is hat the sewers are
too small In heavy rains they viii not
carry off the water but cause 1t 10
sweep over private property and to FIJI
Easements.
Two of the worst complaints are in
the Third ward against the big Ormond
street sewer and in West End where
there are a dozen separate complaints

We Can t Pay Tolls for
U. S. Ships, Says England.

Senator Lodge said he did not want
to see his government suspected of act
ing In bad faith in the matter of a
treaty. The government should be
punctilious in the observance of the
treaty's terms, he argued If special
privileges were granted to American
vessels in the way of free tolls. he said,
undoubtedly the question would be
taken to The Hague and he expressed
the opinion that that tribunal would
decide against the United States SEN
ator Lodge said. as he understood the
British note, Great Britain takes the
position that this country can not pay
the tolls Of American vessels because it
would amount to giving them free
passage through the canal.
From this attitude a number of sena-
tors strongly dissented Lodge would
not admit any foreign power had the
right to say what we should give to
our ships or to any other domestic en-
terprise That was a domestic ques-
ton he said, for the United states and
no one else TO settle.
If this government saw fit to give
American ships the benefit of the canal
which it has built and paid for by re-
imbursing them for the tolls the United
States had a clear right to do SO and
would not be violating the treaty he
said
Senator Crawford asked il such ac-
ton would not violate the principle that
one can not do by indirection what
was clearly forbidden by direction. s.

ATLANTA AND HER STREETS.
In the evolution of the growth
Of Atlanta the city has reached that
stage where its policy of building
and Of general public Improvement
must be directed toward the future
and not alone for the day
The next imperative step is the
Improvement Of streets of the city
We must establish and enforce per
manent building lines and perma-
nent grades Every up-to- date city
pursues this policy. and metropol-
itan Atlanta can not afford to bring
up the tail-end of the procession.
Quick action is the main desider-
atun. The longer this reform is
delayed the greater will be the
cost TO the city
Main avenues reaching the city
from every compass point should be
brought to a permanent and east
~ negotiable grade. Remembering
that we are building for tomorrow.
We should not be too ehaly of eX-
pense. The undertaking should be
worked out by experts and no time
should be lost in beginning work on
this. now the most urgent Of ali
public improvements.
There is not business house nor
man in Atlanta who is not. di-
rectly or indirectly. penalized by
the present situation. Business
suffers in innumerable ways-fr from
delay in delivery Of goods, from tax
on vehicles and live stock. from
heavy grades poor pavements and
narrow streets Human life and
limb are al hazard in the restric
ton OF traffic
Safe and easy transportation is
one Of the first needs Of any large
city. Transportation. as applied 10
streets, is not now either safe or
easy in Atlanta, nor has it been for
long time.
We have piddled and frittered
away ,ime long enough
Let Us go about the solution at
once and with determination 10 go
at the work on a broad basis.
Action should be the keynote.

RAILROADS BACK
CANAL PROTEST
Senator 0'Gorman Says They
Are Behind Great Britain's
Objections.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-That
American railroad influence is behind
Great Britain's protest against the
Panama canal bill now pending in the
senate was the charge made by Sena-
tor O'Gorman. of New York. during the
debate on the bill. He took the posi-
ton, with Senator Lodge, that the
United States possesses full rights un-
der the British treaty to give free pas
age of the canal to American ships.
The burden of Senator Lodges argu-
ment was IL the United States senate
saw fit to do so it could refund to
American vessels the amount paid by
them in tolls for the use of the canal
and such action would be no infringe
ment on the treaty with Great Britain.
But he firmly maintained that under
the convention no privileges or i'm
munities should be granted to Amerl-
can vessels which were not accorded
10 vessels of other nations.

FIND WOMAN GUILTY
OF URGING AFFINITY
ON AS HE SLEW SON

BALTIMORE Nov. Mrs. Emma
Bamberger and Albert j. Patterson
were found guilty of murder in the first
degree today for the death of Mrs
Bamberger's son, James Bamberger
on July s last, when Patterson stabbed
the young man to death in the presence
of the woman. The extreme penalty is
death on the galows.
The verdict, reached after an all
night session, was surprise, as the
state asked only for a second degree
verdict in the case Of the woman. The
defense made motions for a new trial
and Judge Elliott suspended sentences
The murder was the result of the OBJ
1ections of the son to attentions Pat
terson paid to his mother 1t was testi-
fed that the father was asleep at the
time and that when Patterson called to
see the woman the boy had ordered
him from the house. 1t was then that
he was stabbed TO death in the pres
ence of the mother, who, 1t was testi-
fed, urged the slayer on.
