Boswell, as attorney, had represented in
the same court only last November.
Dewberry had been adjudged guilty Of

and been sentenced to hang. He ap-
pealed his case. but failed to obtain a
new trial. He was waiting behind his
former attorney to receive a sentence
of death.
Judge Thomas, after he had passed
judgment on Boswell, ruled that Dew

Boswell" said the court when the
boy who two days before had been

Georgia, 81 have been impressed with
the delicacy and seriousness OF this
matter, because it was intent of the
prosecution to show that there was
some conspiracy in operation in Full
ton county to liberate prisoners on
straw bonds
Il am not prepared to say whether
or not you are guilty of part in such
a conspiracy. You claim all knowledge
of it, and the two charges to which
you have pleaded involve only the de-
frauding Of negroes under the pretense
of arrest.
Had it been solely a question of a
straw bond conspiracy the court could
not accept a money price. A straw
bond system would involve too much;
would be too detrimental TO the pub
lie to permit of a mere fine.

APRONSPAYF FOR
4 MASTERPIECE

A labor of love and devotion by a
number of Atlanta's most prominent
women, extending over a period of two
years or more, will have it's full reward
Easter Sunday when a large mural
painting by Edward Blashfield, one of
the masters of his art, viii be unveiled
in St Lukes church. Episcopal.
The labor itself has been pitched in
an apparently humble field. But the
results have been tremendous.
The women of ST Erizabeths guild,
of St Lul1es church. made aprons.
Many months ago they systematically
began to make aprons. Aprons for the
butcher. the baker, and the candlestick
maker. Aprons for the maid and ma
tron Aprons for the girl who wished
to impress her ardent swain with the
fact that she was domestic Aprons,
more serviceable, for the girl who really
was domestic. Aprons.
The fact that the women OF St Eliz-
abeths guild paid $4,000 for the Blash-
field painting is sufficient proof of their
success in the endeavor. 1t represents
the sale of several thousand aprons
which were cut. stitched, hemstitched,
embroidered. and otherwise adorned by
their hands.
The apron picture, as it may justly
be known, will be placed under the di-
rection of the great Blashfield himself,
who is coming to Atlanta for that pur-
pose. 1t will occupy a fair portion of
the side of the church.
The picture is entitled The Good
Shepherd" and is symbolic of the char
acter of Jesus Christ depicting Him as
the tender care-taker of a flock.
Yesterday a number of the ladies of
the guild met at the home of Mrs, Fitz-
hugh Knox, the president, 1871 Piedmont
avenue, to dispatch a number of aprons
that had been made to order. and to
wind up the work on a number Of or

contamination of their labor.
The women who were at the Knox
home yesterday were:

MACON, GA, March 5.--The request OF
the Georgia Railway and Power Company,
of Atlanta, for the return of the $40
600 deposited by ii upon receiving a fran
chise from the city of Macon last year.
has precipitated bitter fight in council
Some Of the aldermen take the position
that the company never intended operat-
ing in Macon. but secured the franchise
merely as a bluff, to keep the Central
Georgia Power Company of Macon, from
extending its system to Atlanta. There
were several heated arguments on the
proposition last night, but action was
deferred until next Tuesday night.
Notice was given that certain citizens
will probably seek an injunction to re-
strain The city from returning the money.

SMOKE
CASES CD OVER
FOR 4 DAY
Specific Charges Demanded by
Defendants in Recorder
BroyIes' Court Today.

Smoke nuisance cases. made by
Smoke Inspector. Poole against five
railroads. todaS were continued by Re
corder Broyles until Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock. because the railroads de-
manded specific charges against spe
cific persons.
Later a. movement was started for
conference Monday between represen-
tatives of the railroads and Inspector
Poole and Attorney William e. Arnaud.
special prosecuting counsel. with a view
to discussing the situation and arriv
ing at an agreement. This conference
will be held in the Offices of Arnaud &
Donehoo in the Third National Bank
building.
The five cases We're made against
general representatives of tine several
railroads for the emission OF dense
smoke by locomotives, and the point
was raised that the charges should be
directed against the particular engine
men responsible for the violation and
that the exact time of the offense
should be specified. 1t was in order to
permit this to be done that the hearing
was postponed.
Roads lnVoVIed.
The railroads involved are the n, c..
& St. L., the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line Central and the Atlanta Joint
Terminals.
Smoke Inspector Poole declared to-
day that by June there would be quite
perceptible decrease in Atlanta's
smoke nuisance. He said that by Sep
TENDER l every stationary steam plant
within a radius of two miles Of the city
hall would be complying with tho
smoke law, or that they will have been
fined so much they will be ready to
close down.
Though the inspector claims that
great strides are being made toward
the abatement of the nuisance, he said
he realized the accomplishments were
not apparnt 70 the casual observer He
has found the owners of stationary
plants willing and ready to rebuild
their furnaces as fast as he is able to
tell them what to do. Because the rail-
roads did not show similar spirit, he
docketed cases against them, and he
Nsh%'N'
against every one at regular intervals
who refuses to get in line with the
municipal policy.
Bad Furnaces Cause.
The buildings making most smoke
at present Inspector Poole pointed out,
are those making the greatest effort to
comply with the law. With the return
to warm weather, he said, the work
of rebuilding furnaces could be done
much more rapidly. The whole smoke
problem is caused by improper furnace
| facilities.
Also the smoke commission has de-
cided to extend it's fight to apartment
houses as soon as the weather becomes
warm enough for them to do without
heat

CHARTERS FATE
BEFORE COUNCIL

The fate of the new charter, now
known as the charter of the committee
of twenty five, since its almost unani-
nous approval by the committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Woodward, today
rests with council.
Mayor Woodward said today the
charter would not be presented to the
adjourned meeting of council tomorrow
afternoon, but that he would call spe-
cial meeting of council next week to
consider it.
Ready for People.
The long fight, begun last summer
with The Georgian's exposures of the
inefficiency of the construction depart
ment. augmented by Mayor Wood
wards campaign, in which he promised
a genuine reform of the whole structure
OF municipal government, again stimu-
lated by reports of experts working I'M
der the direction of the Chamber Of
Commerce. showing gross incompe-
tency in various departments, and Mn
ally brought TO head by the appoint
ment of a charter revision committee
by Mayor Woodward, has now reached
definite shape for the people to act.
BY a vote of seventeen to four the
committee of twenty five adopted a
resolution urging council to submit
this charter to an election OF the peo-
pie within sixty days. The resolution
also suggests that If council does not
approve the charter it shall draft one
of it's own and submit it to the people
at the same election.
Always Out of Order"
Councilman J. J. Greer attempted a
filibuster at the meeting of the com
mittee. but was finally overruled by
q call for the previous question. When
he persisted In his effort to speak, John
WEIGH, one of the committee, arose and
declared;
You are out of order and always
have been ever since 1 have known
you"
With that, Councilman Greer an
nounced he would file a minority re-
port to council.
Opponent Urges Submission.
Councilman Claude l.. Ashley, one Of
the most active of the opponents OF the
proposed charter reforms, declared to-
day that while he did not approve OF
the charter as drawn by the committee
of 20, of which he was member, he
would urge council TO submit it to the
people. He said he did not see how
any intelligent man could oppose this
request of the committee as the char
ter reforms are clearly matter FOR the
people to decide.
His statement is taken as a good in
dication the council will grant the re-
quest Of the committee of IS to give the
people an early opportunity to express
themselves
