Present System
Called Cumbersome.

Mr.. Smith said that one funda mental
trouble was that the city did not have
sufficient revenue to keep its street i'm
provements up with its growth, He
said either a plan to require the prop
erty owners and the street railway com
pany pay all the cost of the paving ex-
cept tstreet crossings would have to
be adopted or a bond issue would be
necessary.
He added, however that much better
street work could be done with the
present revenue than the city now is
receiving.
We must get rid of that old way Of
pulling against each other in council. ."
he declared.
We must have CO. operation between
the councilmen. the different city con-
struction departments and the public
service corporations.
Nearly all the members Of council
agree that our council of thirty mem
bers and our numerous boa rds are un-
wieluy.
II have talked the matter over with
d number of them. and ! expect to see
some sweeping reforms brought about
in a mighty short time.

AUGUSTA CARS To
RUN TOMORROW

AUGUSTA, GA. Oct lS.--The Au-
gusta street car strike will be ended
and the cars will be operated again by
former union and non union employees
of the company, beginning tomorrow
morning
Today the railway company will fur
nish the mediation board with the
names of certain members of the union
who went on a strike and who are
charged with committing acts Of vio-
lence against the cQmpany's property
aud employees since the strike began.
The charges will be Investigated. None
of these men viii go back to work until
the charges are disposed of before an
arbitration board If they are eXoner-
ated the company must pay them for
lost time
The company comedies to the men
shorter hours, two cents per hour in :
crease in pay and a recognition Of the
union. although il is specifically stated
that the railway company will not be a
CLOSED shop" The agreement pro-
vides. however that union men must
not be Disseminated against
Twenty Under Charges.
II is expected that about twenty car
men will be formally charged with
committing acts OF violence and will
not be reinstated until the arbitration
board says so The mediation boa I'd is
acting today in the capacity of a grand
jury and when the company can show
with reasonable certainty that the men
are guilty of violence they will be sus-
pended and not go back on the cars to-
morrow with the other ear men.
The majority OF the officers and POM
mirteemen OF the union are said to be
under charges by the company. Colo
mel NJ. j. OLeary left here last night
for Savannah leaving Major Abram
Levy IN command OF 40 men who will
be kept on duty for several days as a
matter OF extreme precaution. The city
is still under qualified martial law and
will remain so until Major Levy mott

trouble has passed.

ton of Atlanta's streets. 1t went into
the details Of how the work was done.
how the appropriations for street work
were made and how the work was done
1t graphically pictured the faults in the
system.
Council took the matter up and de-
clared itself ready to make drastic re-
forms. number of charter amend
ments were obtained from the Iegisla-
ture to give it the authority. The most
important amendment was one giving
council the power to thoroughly reor-

The construction department was re-
organized to an extent. Instead Of
chief OF construction and four engi-
neers council has provided that there
saall be a chief of construction. whose
chief duties will be that OF consulting
engineer; an assistant chief Of con-
struction, TO have charge of the de-
tailed work of the department: an en-
gineer in charge of the streets and an
engineer in charge of sewers. While
the chief of construction is TO be elect
ed by the people, the appointment Of his
assistants is TO be approved by council.
Chairman Smith said today that the
special committee was now ready to go
into q more thorough reorganiza ton of
the construction department. The
most important change to be made, pos
sible only through the charter amend

But John will treat Mary according to the old
Indian law or he will lose her. She Is mar
ried according to the white mans way, but that
will not prevent the squaw from leaving his
tent and returning to that Of her mother If
she feels inclined to do so, and nothing John
can say or do will have the least effect in fore
ing her to return to him. For a number Of years
the government has done all in its power to
force the Indians to marry in the white mans
way and to reman married after the ceremony,
but very little progress has been made. Once
in great while there will be an Indian we'd
ding performed after the white way but
large majority of them take place under the old
Indian customs
The Indian word for marriage is the equiva-
lent of "she followed him." and that phrase
tells the whole story. Literally, when an In
dian girl marries buck" she simply walks out
of her mothers tepee and into that of her fu-
ture lord. AMI likewise when she wants
divorce she takes the back trail and returns to
her mother The Indian law will not permit
the deserted husband to interfere with her In
any way, once she leaves his tent. She is
then free to marry" any other Indian she may
wish to. Where divorce is so easily obtain
able the marriage VOWS are not regarded very
highly. In fact, there are no marriage VOWS
whatever in the Indian ceremony.
The parents Of the bride and bridegroom
do most OF the "courting," and, contrary to
the general belief that the girls are sold to
their husbands. this is rarely done. The older
ones make all arrangements and then the young
buck calls on the girl. They sit in the tepee
with the other members of the family, but SO
close together that the old squaw throws a
blanket over them, hiding them from sight Of
the others in the tent. Finally matters are ar
