No More Temporary
Pavements To Be Laid.

That no more temporary pavements
shall be put down.
To give the council the authority to
assess for sewer and water connections
from the main pipes to the property
line. This will cause all connections to
be made before a street is paved and
stop the cutting of streets for the lay
ing OF such pipes after they have been
paved.
Since the campaign began the coun-
ell has authorized the chief Of con-
struction to employ additional free la
Dor and to let grading work by con-
tract. Captain Clayton says this will
insure a great deal more work being
done, for there have not been enough
convicts to do what was expected Of
the camp
Also the city and county officials
have agreed that there shall be more

To Investigate
Before Taking Action.

AS soon as this authority Is OBJ
tained, members of the council said
today, a systematic investigation would
be made to determine the wisest course.
In this investigation complaints against
sewers will be gone into thoroughly.
Plans will be mapped out for charging
the system so as to take care of the
surplus storm water. for which author
ity also is asked of the legislature. and
the matter of the many sewers built
without assessments being levied
against property owners will be adj
justed.
A number Of other important charter
amendments affecting streets will be-
urged before the legislature, as was
published in Saturdays Georgian. All
of them become arbitrary laws as soon
as passed by the legislature, with the
exception Of the amendment affecting
the chief of Constructions department.
If the legislature acts favorably on
all the changes requested by council.
and it is expected that it undoubtedly
will, Atlanta's street Improvement sys-
tenn will be thoroughly revised.
The reforms brought about by Tho
Georgian's campaign are:
To reorganize the chief Of construc-
tons department.
To give the council the right to as
sess for guttering as we'll as curbing.
thus building to prevent washouts.
To give the council the authority To
pave any street or sidewalk at any time
without waiting for petition from the
property owners.
To give the council the authority to
specify the sort of pavement to be put
down instead of the property owners,
thus preventing long delays.

No Indication That Legislature
Will Oppose Councils Plans
Presented Today.
BUILDING DEPT. PROBLEM
WILL BE SOLVED LATER
Thorough Investigation To Be
Made Before Division Is At
tempted Peace Sought.

Victory for The Georgians campaign
for better streets was assured TODAY
when City Attorney Mayson and the
councils charter amendments commit
tee prepared to go before a committee
Of the legislature this afternoon and
urge authority for reforms unanimous
ly requested by council.
There is no indication that a fight
against these measures will be made In
the Legislature. There is a good ma
jority of the council which declares
that the city's street Improvement sys-
tenn will be put upon a far more eff
Client basis as soon as the legislature
grants the authority.
The most important change, the re-
organization of the chief of CONSTRUCT
ton department, is left to the discre-
ton Of the mayor and council. 1t may
be divided into construction and en-
gtneering departments or made more
systematic with the chief of CONSTRUCT
ton as the one head
Captain r. M. Clayton, the present
head, has declared that changes were
needed. The organization of the office
is now fixed by charter provision. but
the amendment requested Of the gen.
eral assembly will give council wide
authority to reorganize this large de-
partment with a view toward greater
efficiency

PREFERS DEATH
To SLOW LIFE
Youth Kills Himself When He
Hasn't Money to keep Up
the Pace"

81 do this because I had rather be
dead than to slow down on the way
have been living" is what w. H. Cot
ter, % years old, bookkeeper, wrote in
farewell note at an early hour today,
just before he fired pistol ball into
his mouth. Cotter was found dead on
the floor of his room at 173 Spring
street several hours later by a negro
maid. He had removed his coat and
collar and tie, and had rolled UP his
shirt sleeves before firing the fatal
shot
Fast living, debt and loss of position
are believed to have prompted the sui
eide.
Cotter's home was in LAGRANGE,
where his parents live. The family is
said to be wealthy and prominent. 1t
was reported today that Cotter inherit
ed $4,000 two months ago from a rich
aunt in New Orleans, but this could not
be verified.
Asks Mother to Forgive.
In a note to his mother, Cotter wrote:
Dear Mother know you will
be hurt very much when you learn
that I have gone by my own hand.
But you don't know the trouble l
am in; so please forgive me.
He also gave an itemized list of
debts. including items in two discount
companies, and asked that these be
!, iVc ha
explained, amounts to $4,000, on a pol
icy in the Union Central Life Insurance
Company.
Cotter gave no definite motive for
his deed further than the declaration
that he preferred the grave rather than
to apply the brakes to his mode of liv-
ing He prefaced this explanation by
stating that after thinking over the
whole proposition have decided to put
an end to my life"
Cotter was unmarried and was a
young fellow of fine physique and
pleasant address. He had been in At
lanta for some time, and for the past
six weeks had been rooming in the
home Of M. d. Cartwright, 173 Spring
street He was formerly bookkeeper
for the United States Telephone Com
pany. but about a month ago accepted
position with newly organized cot
ton oil company.
Loses His Position.
Things moved smoothly in the new
lob until the first of last week, when
Cotter disappeared. He was missing
for four days, and when he returned
found he had lost his place. Since that
time he had been without position,
He seemed much depressed by his ac-
cumulating debts and the realization
that he was unable to hold his former
pace without money. He couldn't
stand the idea, IT seems, of slowing
down" and finally, in desperation, blew
out his brains.
Cotter is supposed to have shot him
self about / o'clock in the morning,
Mrs. Jack Ridge, a boarder in the Cart
wright home, who has a room next to
that of Cotter, says she was awakened
by a Earring noise, and at the same
moment heard a clock next door Strike
one. She thought the noise was made
by something falling in the refriger-
ator and made no investigation. No
significance was attached to the mys-
ferrous noise until maid went into the
room about 10 o'clock to clean it, dis
covering the tragedy.

quest this afternoon at Pattersons I'M

This is time when disaster is following dis,
sension as sure and as sinister as a hound on
the trail. National unity is threatened by the
rule-or-ruin policy blind to the fact that great
nations are founded on constructive, not de-
structiye policies Hawaii has much to do in
the next few years, little time to do it. Kuhio's
position and that of others, less openly in the
fight but not less active, does not make for unity
or compromise even honorable, progressive
agreement Hawaii cannot afford to halt now
and divide into hostile camps, and the Delegate
cannot ask support and expect to get it on such
a pronunciamento.
1t is plain that the Delegates plan is to Sc
cure control of the Republican Territorial con-
yention, and, failing that, to quit the organized
party, call convention of his own, and take the
field on an anti-Frear platform, built on the
lines of his statement yesterday. He is forcing
the issue, and the issue is TO be squarely met
1T can be met by vigorous, unselfsh united ac
ton by the voters of the Territory who are clear
headed enough to realize now. that personal an
tagonism must be cast aside, and that KuhiO's
program under present political and industrial
conditions means pulling down the house with
its people caught beneath the falling walls.

WASHING ITS OWN FACE.

Action toward safeguarding fair play in prf
mary nominations and elections was taken by
the Republican Territorial Central Committee
last night. The amended rules favored by the
committee have been carefully prepared by a
special subcommittee and discussed at a num-
Der of meetings In brief, they make qnalitioa-
tons for voting more stringent, but provide
much iberality in carrying out the spirit of rep
resentatiye primaries The evil aimed at is the
evil of tricky political work, expressed in stuff
fing the precinct club rolls, in holding sudden
and unannounced meetings to give one faction
chance to use the precinct club for its OWE ppr-
poses, or in blocking bona fde nominations by
opponents.
Actual testing Of the changes will alone r'tse
their worth. The committee. at least, has made
a start in the right direction of washing the
party's facek II was wise in declining to recon-
mend priA Harry law. This has gone beyond a
party matter, and the duty of passing direct
primary ACT ccnfronts the whole people and
must he effected by legislative method. Tam;
peaipg with q primaryslaw now would not aid
in putting upto the next Legislature a clean
cut demand for a direct primary.
Publicity for campaign funds is regarded by
the committee as a matter to be taken up by the
next Territorial convention and made part Of
the platform. The committee agrees with the
spirit which prompted District Attorney r. w:
Breckons to propose campaign-fund publicity as
a needed reform There can.be no question that
the whole trend of the Political times is away
from the Darkroom methods in party affairs,
and that the people are entitled to know who
puts up the funds that help in electing their
public officials. This must lteker up sooner
or later, and Republican leaders may wei bear
it in mind.for consideration when the next con-
rention is IN session
