In this statement the convicted at
torney tells OF the discovery by Miss
Stierlin and Jansen in February 1911,
extent of $4,000 through his forgeries
and embezzlements.
TENTATIVE AGREEMENT MADE
A tentative agreement was entered
into by which it was agreed that moth
ing should be said pending an attempt
on the part of Dreischmeyer to repay
the money he had taken In August or
the same year this money had not been
repaid. and Jansen, Miss Stierlin and an
accountant named Keane had con-
sultation.. Nothing decisive was ar
ranged until February. 1912. when II
was arranged that the evidence of the
forgeries should be placed In escrow
in the vaults of San Francisco COM
pany, with the understanding that 1t
was to be delivered to Dreschmeyer

where the money came from as long
as he got the money. These were his
words: I don't care where you get 1t.
but get the money
This was about in August OF 1911.
After the papers were sent to the
Union Trust company Jansen did not
visit my office. but he would hang
around at the foot of the stairs and
waylay me and keep telling me to get
the money. / want you to bear this
in mind that during all of this time

An eight-hour working day for artl-
sans and mechanics employed on city and
city contract work and a minimum wage
scale for all municipal employees is the
offering of the Atlanta Federation of
Trades for Atlanta's proposed charter

Members of the Atlanta central labor
body today have taken the position that
the new charter should include labor re-
forms long advocated by Georgia trades
unions. The unionists will oppose con-
sistently any attempt to fix the trustees
salaries higher than the salary paid the
mayor now
Resolutions recommending that the
views Of the labor organizations be made
part of the new charter were adopted by
the federation at a regular meeting last
night and put in the hands of a commit
tee for transmission to the charter com
mission. Labor advocates decided unani-
mously on the eight-hour day and the
minimum wage scale.
Would Change Petition Plans.
The initiative referendum and recall
features OF the proposed charter were dis
cussed at length. Members of the fed
GRAFTON decided in favor of a 10 per cent
initiative petition, Is per cent for refer
endum and rs per cent for recall, as
against the higher perc entages for ini-
tiative and recall provided for in the
charter drawn by the committee of
twenty.
Speeches in favor Of the eight-hour
day were made by Earle f. Griggs, of
the Typographical union, and Carl Kars-
ton, of the BARRIERS union, and 1t was
