Substitute Charter
A Revamping of Old.

The headquarters of the new charter
opponents is the law office of Council
man Chambers. in the Grant building.
Councilman Chambers is the engineer
and leader There all angles of the
new charter movement are daily dis
cussed and. after weeks Of work, the
present city charter has been revampcd
as a substitute. While the status Of
the boards has been somewhat changed
and the ministerial officers who work
under the boards are to be elected by
the boards instead of by the people,
every present city official is to serve
out his present term. There is viz
fually no effort made to fix response
bilityAthe glsring fault in the pres
cent system.
A solution OF the construction de
partment troubles is offered in a new
board, to have charge of this depart
ment and elect a chief of construction
department 1t is said that Chief Of
Construction Clayton will support this
charter with such provision.
This element is especially pleased
with Councilman AshIeys activities
Since his election he has been looked
upon as one of Mayor Woodwards
stoutest supporters They interpret his
determination to offer his now famous
resolution as definite break with the
mayor.

Mayor Considers

OF course the Ashley resolution will

reforms assert II is too obvious a fraud
to receive very serious consideration.
After the committee Of rs has acted,

Mayor Woodward said today 1t was

mistic as to the chances of the Can

Speaking facetiously. he said:
The Ashley resolution prohibits the

say they desire clean sweep Of our

4 GEORGIA CITIES
ASK LOW FREIGHT
Chairman Clements of Com
merCe Commission Hears
Kicks From Towns.

Four Georgia cities are asking the
Interstate commerce commission for a
Square deal in the matter of freight
rates, in a hearing which began today
in the Atlanta Federal building and
over which Judson G. Clements chair
man Of the commission is presiding
Each Of the four cities, Macon, Au-
eusta, LaGrange ana Vienna. declares
that certain existing freight rates dis
crimnate against it. The complaint Of
LaGrange and Macon is that Atlanta is
better favored than they in the matter
of rates.
Atlanta newspapers are compliments
in one case before the commission, in
which they contend that the rate on
news print paper is unfair, and that 1t
should be no higher than the rate on
wrapping paper They ask for an all
rail rate Of 80 cents from the New
Hampshire center OF paper trade, and
rail-and- water rate of IS cents.
Kicks Against Atlanta.
The complaint of Macon is that the
rate from Virginia cities on canned
goods boots shoes. gas engines and
roofs is discriminatory compared with
Atlanta's rate.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of Au-
susta contends that the rates from the
East on cabbages. apples, onions and
! potatoes Of 81 cents is too high
10 to

rates from Ohio and Mississippi river

| The mayor and council OF Vienna ap-
! pear in a complaint that the rates 10
| that town from the West are higher
| than rates from the same section to
Cordele, Albany Americas, Dawson and
| other towns Of the vicinity.
The Augusta case occupied the entire
time Of the hearing before the noon

Macon Complaint Settled.

and the defendant railroads has been
reached, whereby the case of that city
probably will be dismissed when 1t is
reached 1t is the last on the docket.
Chairman Clements probably will sit
in Atlanta until Friday He said laugh
ingly today that he merely came here
to get away from Washington, and to

First Husband Killed.

Gunter again trod upon delicate ground.
He asked about the death OF Mr..
Havemeyer, Mrs. Beach's first husband.
Where were you when he was killed
II he was killed." asked the prosecu-
tor.
''In New york-twenty-f miles
away
''You don't know anything about that
transaction, do you?"
WHAT cried Beach. sharply,
Beach cast a swift glance toward his
wife, who was sitting with her head
bowed and her face flushed. A flash
OF color crept over his face and he bit
his lip. Then. IN quiet voice he an
swered:
no
Finally Beach made denial that ne was
a millionaire.
But Il is SO said in the papers"
That's the only way ] shall ever be
one" said Beach.
Miss Marion Hollins likewise con-
firmed In every detail the stories Of
Beach and his wife. and when she re-
tired from the witness stand. she and
Mrs. Beach were at once surrounded by
the group OF social lights and showered
with congratulations.

Testimony of Beach.

Mr.. Beach told substantially the same
story as that related by Mrs. Beach. He
was calm and self-possessed throughout
the examination, his anger never rising
until the end. when the lawyers got Into
an argument regarding postponing the
trial last September and both SIDES had
declared they were ready then, Beach
cried.
''Why didn't you have the trial them
was ready. too
He declared he was 81 years old
Coming down TO the events ot the night
OF the assault, he went over the same
ground covered by his wife, adding:
Il paid no attention to the man as he
flashed past when ! ran out In answer
TO my wife's screams. I at flrst thought
she had found dead body-possbly that
of the woman whose screams we had
heard earlier in the. evening. never
ordered my clothing cleaned" he said. re-
fcrring TO the fact that all the blood
spots had been washed from the suit he
wore on the night OF the assault. MY
man cleans my clothing every morning.
He related the part he played In the
Investigations, denied the story OF bis
alleged effort to get Mrs. Beach to fix
the crime on Pearl Hampton's brother:
explained the hiring OF the detective and
made the positive statement that when
he handed his penknife to Mayor Gy(es
ut the latteTs request no blade had been
broken.
Beach said he employed the lawyers
to assist in the investigation. He had
no recollection OF having fixed a value of
$4,000 on the Daste earrings.

On Delicate Ground.

On cross-examination Gunter touched
on delicate ground, but almost immedi-
ately veered off.
Did ANYBODY come 10 your house that
afternoon2"
Yes said the accused husband stead
!ly. Mr.. Hartman. took nap and
when / woke up Mr. Hartman was on
the piazza with Mrs. Beach. 1 remained

"And after that you spent the rest Of
the night at home?'

Switching his attack. Gunter forced an
admission from Beach that his wife had
not told him anything about the affair
until the arrival OF DR.. wyran.
Then. flashed Gunter, "how was, it
possible for YOU TO tell DR.. Wyrnan what
happened Immediately on his arrival and
before he had seen Mrs. Beach7"
Beach managed to streighten himself
on this point and then went on to say:
