COUNCILMAN SMITH
IN MOVE FOR MORE
PAY FOR POLICEMEN

Councilman Charles w Smith an
nounced today that he would make a
fight before council to increase the
minimum salaries of policemen from
$50 to $75 per month. Councilman
Smith said he would also urge that
supernumeraries receive $75 per month
when they worked instead of the $45
now paid them.
1T is impossible for a man with a
family to live with any degree of com
fort in Atlanta on $50 per month" lie
said Seventy dollars is almost
as absurd. We ask these officers to do
a mans work and we ought to pay
them a mans wages. They get yearly
increase Of S. per month. 1t takes an
officer six years to get $50 per month.
The high cost Of living has made
$50 a month salaries obsolete for men
who are expected to do intelligent
work"

When Ardent CampaignerS
Swoop Down Upon Him.

Three pretty little Atlanta school
girls today are full-hedged, dyed in
the wool Juvenile suffragists.
Not that they care to vote, or any
thing like that, but because they are
playing the game of politics from sheer
enthusiasm in an effort to obtain a
new school building for the Davis
Street school.
And they are bubbling over with Joy,
too, for they have scored their first win.
The first plunge into the political
arena was made yesterday afternoon
when they "assailed' Councilman ]. J.
Greer, Of the Fifth ward, and came out
with colors flying high. These girlish
politicians-little Misses MarCelle
Lyon, Ina Louise Harris and Gladys

Street school, swooped down on the
councilman, told him they want him
to build them a new and up-to -date
school house." and

When the teachers in the Davis Street
school Monday determined to make a
fight for a new building, one that will

girls decided on a personal campaign.
They talked over the matter Just like
real politicians, and formed themselves
into a committee
Councilman Greer was seated yester-
day afternoon in his Office in the EN-

promptly admitted them. Tripping into

Two Millions in
Fines Collected.

The attorney general reported that
there was collected and paid into the
treasury of the United States, as a
result of suits brought, or compro-
misses effected during the fiscal year,
the sum of $2,01S, 1889. besides $780,,
1865 collected by the solicitor Of the
treasury in compromise claims not In
suit, making an aggregate total Of ST.
749.07015. During the past fiscal year
says the report 3,242 civil cases, to
which the United States was a party
and 1858 criminal prosecutions, were
disposed of in the circuit and district
courts, and 1912 cases in the court OF
claims.
Reviewing these figures and refer
ring to the efficacy of the Sherman
law, the attorney general said:
Il am strongly of the opinion that
the advocacy of amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law, which shall
particularize different acts as consti-
tuting unlawful restraints Of trade, has
its origin not so much with those who
desire it's enforcement as with those
who desire to secure a means of evad-
ing it."
The offices performed by the COM
merce court were highly commended by
Attorney General Wickersham. With
regard to this subject, he said;
In my opinion the commerce court
has proved a far more satisfactory in
stlument for the determination of legal
questions arising out of the orders Of
the interstate commerce commission
than the former method by which such
questions were passed upon in the va
rious circuit courts throughout the
country.
at is much more expeditions it has
upheld the commission in larger por
ton of cases than did either the circuit
courts or the supreme courts; and it
has granted temporary injunctions with
less freedom than the circuit courts did.
