Taft s Victories
Totg 1853.

The Taft steam roller crushed on
ward today and seated twelve more del
egates from Mississippi giving the
president total of 1853 victories The
only time the engineers of the roller
hesitated was when a sensational at :
tempt was made to unseat Francis J.
Heney, the fiery Roosevelt leader The
motion was tabled and Heney was al
lowed to continue his opposition to the
Taft operations
Then the factonal fight in the com
mittee was brought to crisis The
Missouri cases. involving four dele
gates at large and ten district dele
gates, and regarded as the pivotal con
test of the Roosevelt and Taft men,
wereb rought up. There were rumors
that only enough Of the Taft would be
seated to give the president a majority

Gilbert Confident 1t
Will Be Underwritten

There is opposition among few
members of officials TO the purchase Of
this plant and its erection on the site
of the present crematory. There is
doubt of the outcome if these oppo-
nents resort to the courts
DR.. w. L. Gilbert president of the
board of health, said today that while
the matter of financing the deal had
not yet been settled he had no doubt
that a satisfactory agreement would be
reached He insisted that the building
Of the plant would be Underwater.
The plant not only provides for a
garbage disposal plant, but a 1900
kilowatt capacity electric power plant.

City Charter Provision Held to
Prevent Council Making

A bad legal tangle today threatened
to hold up Indefinitely the building Of a
garbage disposal plant for which At
lanta has been clamoring for years.
The Destructor Company of New
York. which secured the contract on q
bid of s37s.Ooo, agreed to take the
councils moral obligation for all but
$4,000 of the amount already appro-
priated The company has not yet
been able to negotiate through banks

gin work IS up tomorrow. At a special
meeting of council this afternoon an
additional ten DAYS time will be re-
quested
II was declared today that council
has evaded the charter provision which
specifically states that the council of
one wear can not bind the council of
another year for debt by pledging itself
in moral contract The Destructor
Comrarr of New York wants to dis
count he citys moral notes through q

Solution in Vain.

Whatever the success Of the De
structor Company is, however in dis
counting the citys moral notes, the city
holds SS5, 900 certified check guaran-
teeing that the contract will be carried
out
Robert F. Maddox bought the new
city hall and took the city's moral obli-
cation for $4,000 Hugh T. Inman
purchased a $15o.ooo pump for Atlanta
when he only had moral pledge that
he would be repaid. Council made both
Of the payments without question. The
building of the garbage disposal plant,
however. is on a cold business basis
and city officials were at loss today
for solution of the problem that has
apparently been ignored thus far
According to the contract the city IS
to pay $4,000 cash and $4,000 each
year until the amount is paid The
deferred payments are TO bear interest
of not more than six per cent. For any
reason it thought a succeeding council
could legally refuse to make the prom
ised payment

Grace Urged
Doctors to Act.

For more than three months he had
lain upon his back unable to do more
than lift a glass Of water to his mouth.
Often he had cried out against it and
urged his physician to do something.
When told that the operation would be
performed he seemed very glad
At o'clock yesterday afternoon he
was put under the anesthetic.
An entrance was made at the ninth
dorsal vertebra. In the course of the
operation it was discovered that the
spinal cord was not severed, but that the
paralysis had resulted from an extreme
pressure. The bullet was also located,
but owing to It's inaccessibility It was
not removed. The pressure was relieved
considerably, however.
The first thing Grace asked after re-
turning to consciousness was: is it
coming out all right doc?" He re-
ceived very encouraging assurance.
Before and after the operation he
was calm and collected, despite the
fact that but a small margin stood
between him and death.

DR.. Derr this morning. He never once
lost his nerve. He never once looked
as if he was in the least frightened.
