Aaron Burr Adler Man
Than Geo. Washington,
Says Dean of College
Professor of Law Advances New
Ideas of Father of His
Country.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-George
Washington is in danger OF becoming
little known and falling into the class
Of demi-gods and. NEUROLOGICAL heroes;
his early education was neglected; he
was not eloquent In speech and his
hearing was poor; he was a poor poet,
though he frequently attempted to
write verse, and he was one of the
richest men in America in his day.
These we're ideas of the Father of
Our Country as brought out by Dean
William r. Vance, of the law school
of the University of Minnesota. He
said Aaron Burr was a far ADLER man
than Washington.
But he said. Burr was not ami
mated by the proper ideals His ac-
lions were unlike those of Washington,
and we're infractions against the gen
eral laws OF society. 1t was for this
reason that Burr couldn't succeed while
Washington, less capable man,
reached his goal"

LETTERS
IN TAX SQUABBLE.
Assessors Give Out Communi-
cation of Alderman McCIeI-
land and Then Reply.

The city tax assessors have given
out the correspondence between Alderman
John e. McClelland and them in which tha
alderman demanded large increases In
realty assessments and in which they
refused to comply.
Alderman McClelland furnished the as
SCISSORS with a list of 400 names of Lead
ing property owners In Atlanta who, he
claims, are not paying their just proper
ton of taxes. In q number of instances
he furnished the amounts OF the present
assessments and suggested what he
thought they ought to be increased to.
The letters. which will be considered at
the meeting of the tax committee We'd
nesday, follow:
Gentlemen: am handing you here.
in list OF assessments on various
parcels of realty. After a careful and
full and complete investigation, am
persuaded that the major portion of
same are assessed at much less than
their real taxable valuation, and am
submitting this list for your consid-
GRAFTON, asking that you go over 1t
carefully and advise me at the ear
Hest date practicable whether or not
YOU will raise any or all of the as
sessments. Upon receipt Of your re-
ply | can then tell intelligelrtly how
to deal with it before the tax com
mittee.
ask that you carefully preserve
this copy, and, If convenient, that you
have copies made and return the
original to me, as I have some fur
Their Investigations to make con-
corning some of the property listed
thereon.
Thanking you for an early reply, 1
am yours truly,
J. E MCLELIaAND.
Dear Sir: We have your esteemed
favor of the 21st. and have carefully
noted the contents.
The question of assessments you Of
course, understand, is a difficult one
We have studied 1t for years and
under all the circumstances we think
the valuations placed upon the prop
critics you refer to are fair, and in
our judgment they should remain as
they are We would be glad to agree
with you il we could, but We think
all the conditions justify the con-
illusions we have reached. Yours very
truly, G. D. MEADOR.

ANTS CHARTER
AIDS REFORNERS

Joseph Loewus, Second ward repre-
sentative on the charter revision COM
ntttee of 25, said today that the Second
ward meeting called for Saturday night
to discuss the charter had been indef-
nitely postponed. MI Loewus explained
that owing to present unsettled condi-
tons he did not think a fair expression
Of the sentiment OF his ward could be
gained at public meeting at this time
Mr.. Loewus was very undecided at
first as to what position he would take
regarding the proposed new charter. He
was furnished a copy of the substitute
charter drawn by Orville Hall, Aldine
Chambers and other politicians After
studying both closely, he said he felt no
hesitancy in deciding to vote to submit
the Gambler Hopkins McClelland char
ter to the people.
Mayor Woodward has given out
statement declaring he is confident the
new charter will pass both the commit
tee of % and the council with practical
ly no changes.
Aldine Chambers and Alderman
James r. Nutting, two Of the most ac-
tive opponents of charter reforms, both
announced that they are even opposed
to submitting the new charter to a vote
Of the people. Alderman Nutting vir-
| tually admits that if it is submitted the
people will adopt it, but he asserts ii is
a vicious document and that he would
oppose council giving # the nominal
support of submitting it to the people.
While Mr.. Chambers has no vote. he
has influence with the element oppos-
| ing the charter
Alderman John f. ltcClelland char
acterized Alderman Nutting's attitude
as follows:
Jim Nutting reminds me of the
twelfth man on jury who prevented a
verdict being agreed upon for days and
days. Finally when mistrial had re-
suited one of his friends asked him
what the trouble was.
There were eleven Of the hardest
headed men on that jury that ever
| lived he said"

MACON, GA, Feb. 26.-Chief of Po-

John Davis are being tried this after
noon by the mayor and council on
charges filed by Policeman ]. J. Proc
tor The latter claims that in making
an arrest for which he is now under
suspension he obeyed the order of his
superior officers. and that he lied at
his own trial-or at least withheld
much of the facts--in order to pro-
tect the chief
Similar charges filed by Alderman A.
L. DaSher a candidate for mayor, will

Proctor charges that when he arrest
ed Harry Bernstein, a theater mana
ger, recently, for refusing him admis-
sion without a ticket, he acted I'M
der specific orders from Lieutenant
Davis, who said, according to Proc
tor at the time of issusing the orders
that they came direct that day from
the chief
Proctor further declares-and in this
he is supported by Policeman Hollo-
man, who Is also under suspension for
the arrest-that after the occurrence
he and Holloman went to Chief Chap
man and asked him for advice, and that
he begged them not to expose his share
in the matter but to protect him, and
he would in turn look after their wei
fare. They say that the chief agreed
to pay their salaries out of his own
pocket during their suspension if he
could not arrange for them to be paid
sub rosa by the city. and that he de-
clared to them that Mayor Moore was
in full sympathy with them and would
not let them suffer
Says Chief Admitted It.
Proctor swears that in this and sub
sequent conversations the chief adj
mitted giving the lieutenant the or
ders for repetition to the squads for
the theater managers arrest and lock-
up.
Lieutenant Davis does not deny CIV
ing the orders. but denies saying they
came from Chief Chapman
Proctor's self-styled confession
which is in the nature of voluminous
affidavit, has created genuine SEN
sation, and there is great public inter
est in the outcome of the councimanic
