GET COUNTY SITE
Secretary of State Makes DeCi-
sion in the Bitter Contro-
verSy in Murray.

Phil Cook, secretary of state, today
decided the famous Murray county seat
controversy in favor Of Chatsworth.
In ruling in favor Of Chatsworth and
against Spring Place, the secretary
threw out entirely the 427 votes cast in
favor of Elton, on the ground that Elton
was not included in the ordinary's call
for a county seat removal election, and
that all votes east for it. therefore, were
merely no votes at all
In the original call for this election
it was stipulated that the contest
should be between Spring Place, the
present county seat. and Chatsworth, a
new town on the Louisville and Nash
willie railroad. which traverses the coun-
ty. Afterward, however Elton was in
tected into the fight, and the vote given
Elton if counted. would have deprived
Chatsworth of the required tWo-t1lrds
of the vote cast.
The vote was divided as follows:
Chatsworth S62. Elton 427 and Spring
Place 155. Secretary Cook holds that
only 1,O17 of these votes are legal and
in that view, Chatsworth received ooz
against Spring Places 155--or clear
two-thirds and over in favor of Chats
worth
This case has attracted no end OF
attention throughout north Georgia and
feeling in Murray and Whitfield eoun-
ties has run very high because Of It,
II was appealed to Secretary Cook some
two months ago. all three sides to the
controversy being represented by able
counsel at the hearing
The case may be appealed TO the leg
isIature. but the impression is that Sec
rotary Cooks ruling means that CHATS
worth will be the county seat eventual
w. if not Immediately. Since the case
was appealed. d large number OF those
who voted for Elton have assured the
secretary of state that as between
Cbatsworth and Spring Place, they
much prefer ChatsWorth.

The city's revenue increased just

Jerk to the comptroller.
on these figures the 1913 city budget

nue. is $2,SSSO17.53.
approximately one-half of this
mount was anticipated and appropri-
sted when the 1912 budget was made
nm last January. The remainder was
,nportioned later in the year.
If the finance committee OF the new
administration anticipates an equal in
..rease in revenue for 1913-and city of
dcialg generally agree that there will
n- an equal increase-the new council
will have $450,O00 more money to spend
than was available last January.
Treasury May Be Strained.
Navor-elect James G. Woodward has
announced, however, that he will OPP
nose anticipating any revenue. If he
carries his point, the treasury will be
.urely strained.

The other departments show no APP

While the 1918 budget win contain

The difference is made up by bond
money, the expenditure of which is al

total figures are thus greatly increased.

DYNAM|TERS OFF

Special Train Takes Convicted
Labor Men From lndlanapo-

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Dec. 81
Thirtyth three union labor leaders con-
victed of completely in the Mcnamara
dynamite plots are now ON their way to
the Federal prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kans.. where they viii serve
their terms. The dynamite special
carrying the prisoners left indianapolis
at 1885 a. m. over the Pennsylvania
railroad.
The train was made up OF two
coaches, one carrying sixteen prisoners
and the other seventeen, and diner
and a baggage car.
The prisoners seemed III a cheerful
frame of mind and they spoke cheering
words to one another.
+ Attorneys for the men filed a writ of
error and a writ of supersedeas today
but both matters We're put over until
Thursday by Judge Anderson.
Guard For Each Man.
Each of the prisoners was accompa-
MED by a guard on the way from the
Marion county jail to the train How
| ever the trip was made without Incl
dent.
| In the party on the dynamite spe-
| cial' were some of the best known la
Dor men in the country. Among them
were Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the
international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers; Herbert
/ S. Hockin, formerly secretary of that
| body; John I Butler, vice president Of
the organization and Olaf Tveitmoe,
secretary of the California Building
Trades council.
Some called il the dynamite special"
| others the "Leavenworth limited" and
still others the arsenal train"
! The wives of the dynamiters stood
in the dusk of the train sheds clasping
their hands tightly until the last whis-
tie shrilled its goodbye
| Then they turned back-alone
fearful Scene at Station.
| Deputy. United States Marshal Ed
| Schmidt said he feared no trouble.
There is a guard for each man. who
never leaves the prisoner. They sit in
guard facing him Never for a moment
will this vigil relax until the somber
gate at Leavenworth swallows it's new
est consignment Of lives
1t was a fearful scene-that parting
at the station Hundreds of spectators
crowded to the gates to watch. Both
the convicted men and their wives bore
up bravely, however, and many dashed
away the tears and tried to smile. Some
of the smiles We're wan and some of the
faces were pale with grief. The women
were attractively dressed and some of
them in extremely fashionable mode.
The convicted conspirators, many of
| them at least looked like prosperous
business men off on a trade Journey.
The manacled wrists told a different
story.
