Conference Lasted For Two
Hours.
TO Be NO INTAKE PIPE
Councilmen Not Favorable to Put
ting Iutake Pipe to the
Northwest Passage.

City Councils session in public last
night continued just minutes. There
were quite a number of citizens and
tax payers in the Council chamber at
o'clock interested in what they felt
were important matters to be brought
to the attention of the local legislative
body.
Members of Council were at
o'clock in the committee room In con-
ference with engineer Clyde Potts.
The citizens in the Council chamber
sat as patiently as possible awaiting
the Council meeting until three min
utes of ten o'clock. Then six OF the
seven members entered the chamber,
all being present excepting Charles
H. Stevenson. At five minutes after
ten o'clock City Council adjourned af-
! ter giving, officially, 8 minutes to the
business of the session.
The contract for the reconstruction
of the sewer siphon was awarded to
| the Sun Dredging and Construction
Company, of Philadelphia, for $1197.50
| This is the company of which Mr..
Alfred H. Lupton is member and
the work will be done under his di-
rection
Action ON the award of contract for
the intake pipe was deferred until the
next meeting of council.
Mr.. Lupton who is the low bidder by
more than ten thousand dollars, was
present, and stated that he had nc
objection to action being deferred il
council so desired. ~"
The conference session in the com.
mittee room practically decided the
| business. 1t practically decided thai
there would be no extension of the in
take pipe to the Northwest Passage
and that the water for public use
would be taken from the raceway will
an auxiliary supply from the Cohanse.
creek should anything happen to tn,
racebanks or mill dams.
1
The long business concerning tn,
matter was more or less interestin,
and the arguments were taken par
in by practically all of the six mem
bers present, excepting Mr. Ogdel
who, it is said, was a careful listener
President Mulford, Mr.. Whipple ant
Mr.. Smalley were opposed to expend
ing the money for the construction o
the promised intake plan. Mr.. John
son felt that he would like to have
referendum expression from the pub
lie concerning the matter.
Mr.. Whitaker alone argued strongl
for the completion of the propose,
intake pipe which council had pledget
the people would be built He CAV
his experience with the people AM
he felt that the preponderance of pub
lie sentiment was in favor Of gettin!
pure water direct from the Northwes
Passage. Mr.. Whitaker feels that tn
State Board of Health, may at an.
: time, come here and restrict the publ
in it's pleasures in the city park, if tn
public water is taken from the race
way.
While no definite action was taken
and in open session the two low bid
: were held over, the present tempe
of City Council is to abandon tn
whole matter Of providing for a sup

sible pollution.

 Tho facts are given as follows: T. B. Gillespie entered the Georgia Tech and paid to the treasurer the amount of his entrance fee and awaited tho class opening. In the turmoil of open ing his entrance card was delayed a day or two and when sent to the reg istrar he had gotten the erroneous idea that he had failed to enter. He there upon withdrew his fee and at once se- cured a position. going to Gadsden. Ala. where he remained in continu- GUS employment until the article in The Age Herald was shown him. He at once wired his father, phoned his mother and came home to assure his relatives and friends that Q grave tn- justice had been done him.

F|REMEN ARREST CARELESS NEGROES Caused Department to Make Two Runs to Hood
 Building

The fire department yesterday aft- ernoon made two runs to put out 8 pot of blazing tar on the roof of the Hood building at the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street. Two ne- groes were employed by the building agents to put coat of tar over the roof and they had been at work all during the day. About o'clock the bucket in which they were melting their tar became too hot and the con tents blazed into fire. In an effort to extinguish it the bucket was knocked over and the fresh tar spread upon the roof. The negroes turned in fire alarm and the blaze was put out with chemicals. Fire Chief Bennett warned the men to be careful and the wagons returned to the station.
 About 15 minutes later the same thing occurred and the department made another run to the Hood build ing. After putting out the blazing buckets the fremen, exasperated over the trivial alarm. turned the negroes over to the police.

MT. Loeb was uncertain whether he hap pened' to be present at the conversa- ton or was called in.
 MT. Hartman started by saying New York was all right as far as the Pres ident was concerned testified MT. Loeb, but that a bolt had occurred against the state ticket and Higgins, because 1t was said it was an O'Dell ticket"
 Mir. Hartman, he added. asked that the national committee help 0'Del.
 The President said,' continued MT. Loeb, "'Mr Hartman, I don't know the condition of funds of the national have MT Higgins beaten, and shall see MT. Cortelyou.'
 ''Mr. Cortelyou said he would take the matter Up with MT. Bliss and would be glad to see Mir Hartman
 Mir. Loeb said he knew nothing of the Hartman fund during the cam paign. Taking up the Standard oil con tribution, he said that after two let ters had failed to elicit reply from N button, he suggested telephoning to Cortelyou This failed to get a reply, he said, and he telephoned to New York getting MT. Bliss.
 Bliss Was Irritated
 q told Mir Bliss about the letters and the telegrams and that the Pres ident wanted to know if there was any Standard oil contribution. MT BLISS showed a little irritation. l thougnl. in his manner. and said: You may tell the President that the spirit and the letter of MT. Cortelyous announcement as to corporation contribution were carried out and that no contribution has or was received from the stan dard oil company After talking with MT. Bliss, I was told Mir. Cortelyou had come in. So I talked with him. lie said he had been sick and MT BLISS had been out. He said MT. Bhss had told him no such contribution had been or would he received and that as far as his knowledge went, no such con tribution had been or would be re- ceived."
 Senator clapp asked If the witness knew any further facts. "Senator, you know that my lips have been scales as to my confidential relations With Colonel Roosevelt. Only the subpoena of this committee has unsealed them. But I want to say that 1t would be as easy to prove the moon is made or green cheese. as to impugn the inteS- rity of Colonel Roosevelt and affectlns contributions of corporations or any public or private act"
 He added that he knew no further facts relating to campaign funds.
 After attempting in vain to have MT Loeb admit that he believed that the S100, 900 contribution from the Standard oil company in 1904 had been received and had never been returned, senator Pomerene concluded the examination. The committee then adjourned uhtil Monday at 10 o'clock.
