CITY WILL AVERT
NEW TRAGEDIES,
SAYS DOCTOR
Atlanta Aroused to Peril by
Death of Clarence Bigby
From Meningitis.

DIR. C. F. Benson declared to-day that
the lesson in the tragic death Of lit
tie Clarence Bigby. barred from the
hospitals while meningitis Slapped his
life, had been so forcefully impressed
on Atlanta that similar tragedies would
be averted in the future.
Such a regrettabls thing is impossi-
BILE now in Atlanta. The authorities
and the doctors are reused to the sit
uation which obtains, and it can not be
tolerated" said DR.. Benson.
Since the facts have become known,
many have commented upon the, ne
cessity Of the city providing place in
which cases OF cerebro- spinal meninsi-
tbs may be treated and properly isolat-
ed, although they have deplored the
tragedy which appeared necessary to
teach the city this need"
The disease was allowed to. rum its
brief and tragic course at the Rescue
Mission, in Marietta street, where
scores of persons were exposed before
the room was quarantined, and the lad
lay for a week raving in a delirium,
with no care or nursing save that given
by his grief stricken mother and by
the physician, whose visits necessarily
were short.
1t was after nightfall Saturday that
the sad little group OF mourners made
their way out of Westview cemetery a
few hours after the disease had taken
its toll OF life. Money contributed by
sympathetic persons at the mission and
in the neighborhood provided the rough
pine box in which the body of the boy
was placed and bought the lot where
the burial took place.
The family, which was almost penni-
less before the tragedy came upon 1t. is
in even worse circumstances now. The
father has obtained work, but there are
still large bills to pay. The furniture.
which was brought from Macon two
weeks ago, is in storage. with S26 due
upon IT. For their humble quarters in
the mission, which they took until they
were able to afford renting a small
home, Mr.. and Mrs Bigby are in debt.
Only through the charity of philan-
thropic organizations has the family
been able to get enough food to fend
off starvation. The future holds any
thing but pleasant outlook.

Dead Mule Brought
Back to Life: Miracle
Performed by Officer

Though he lay for twelve. hours stiff
and apparently dead, a valuable mule
belonging to Robert Davis, a merchant
at 10 Ponders avenue, is to-day per-
forming his accustomed duties, and
save for a badly burned throat and an
undying hatred for Humane Officer c.
L. Camp. is none the worse for his ex-
perience. Officer Camp brought the
mule back to life with mixture of tur-
pentine and ginger, after clubs. pins,
nails and other remedies had failed.
Davis was driving his mule up Mari
eta street and was just preparing to
turn into Ponders avenue when the
animal fell. Davis tried to rouse him.
but failed, so he left him there and
went home. The animal obstructed
traffic and neighbors moved him into
an alley. where he lay with feet stretch
ed out and eyes shut, to all appearances
dead
Davis called Humane Officer Camp,
who visited a drug store, pried open the
mules mouth and poured down the
life giving dose. In two minutes the
mule was on his feet.

MEMBER THESE MEN.
The long fight of the people to get
a vote on the two proposed new char
tiers for Atlanta will reach a climax at
the meeting of council this afternoon.
Indications are that the opposition 10
real charter reform will be prevented
from adding further delay to be nu-
merous postponements of action and
that a final vote will be secured
To present the request of the big
mass meeting of citizens, that both
charters be submitted to the people
within so days, a committee of 100 CHI
zens, headed by ]. K. Orr will attend.
Council is expected to suspend its rules
and give them a hearing.
Hope to Swing Doubtful Ones.
Then the fight to carry out the viii
of the people will be taken up upon the
floor of council by Councilmen w. q.
Humphrey. A r. Colcord, Alderman
John f. McClelland, Arthur H. Van
Dyke and others.
The contest will be one of the most
vigorous ever conducted on the floor OF
council. The principal effort will be
to get some of the members who have
announced opposition to the plan Of
the people to change their minds. The
merits of the two charters will not be
discussed, except as side issue. The
question will be the right of the people
to vote upon an issue they express Il
desire to vote upon.
Plan Another Meeting.
Mayor Woodward declared to-day
that If council did not recognize this
sovereign right of the people. a second
mass meeting should be called and the
people take the details of an election
into their own hands. J. o. Cochran,
secretary of the Democratic executive
committee, said that his committee
would not call an election IL council
refused TO do so.
If every member OF council outside

BUTCHERS FREE
WAS
INSUFFICIENT
TACOMA BUTCHERS WIN CASE
IN POLICE COURT-ORDI-
NANCE UPON WHICH CITY
DEPENDED DID NOT COVER
CASE.

Tacoma will have to pass a
new ordinance If she wishes to
prosecute city meat dealers
against whom charges of using
freezum in their meat have been
lodged.
The local association of butch
ers pooled their cases and went
before the police court Tuesday
afternoon demurring to the COM
plant against them filed a cou-
pie of weeks ago that they were
using freezum in their meat, and
raised the point that there was
nothing in the ordinance of the
city that prohibited meat des l.
err from selling meat that contain
ed freezum.
Assistant City Attorney Carna-
han practically admitted this was
true, explaining to the court that
when he drew the complaints he
had searched the ordinance care
fully to find some section that
would cover the case, but the only
thing he could find was in the
section which prohibited Gamer
les from using preservatives out
side of the pale of the state law.
He had drawn the complaints
under this section, but admitted
he had his doubts about it hold
ing.
In view of the facts, ]. A. Sor-
ley, who was on the bench in the
temporary absence of Judge Ma
gill, dismissed the cases on the
technicality.
Those going free were A.
Fauss, James Tisdall, Fred B.
Flanagan, Albert Burnett, M. e.
Hubbard and Weingarten and
Adams.
The case of Frank Geiger was
tried before Judge Magill Monday,
but he reserved Judgment. Gel
ger did not raise the question of
the sufficiency of the ordinance,
but tried the case. He is not a
member of the meat dealers as
sociation, and they would not
pool their cases with him.
His case will probably be dis
missed with the rest now.
A new ordinance will be intro
duced to cover the situation.
