WAR ON.
SMOKE EVIL IS
BEGUN
Special Counsel Engaged, and
Inspector Says He Means
Business.

Renewed war on the smoke nuisanca
today began in earnest when Smoke In

docket fully a dozen cases against all

Arnaud, of the firm of lArnaud & Done,
hoo, to assist the city attorney IN the
prosecution.
Two railroads are among the ac~
cused, and their officials will be serv-
ed. None of the names of the alleged
offenders have been made public
Inspector Poole has the evidence air
in hand, and score Of cases will be
docketed within the next two days for
trial before Recorder Broyles.
Inspector Poole has been quietly at
work on the smoke situation since his
appointment as inspector several
months ago and has been conducting
a campaign Of education, giving all Of
those involved ample opportunity 10
remedy the nuisance and save them
selves from being ar. aligned in court
The inspector, while he manifested
dislike to discuss the matter before the
cases were docketed, said he had met
with some success. but had found It
necessary TO resort to the strong arm
Of the law in dealing with many of the
offenders.
An honest attempt at reform, he said.
had been made by smoke dispensers in
several instances.
ct have tried education. and now I'm
going to put It up to the courts said
the inspector.
He called at the police station short
ly before noon. and obtained service
blanks and subpenas with which to cits
the offenders to court and summon wit
nesses
Inspector Poole himself will be the
star witness, as he has taken careful
and scientific observation of all OF ths
smoke stacks in the city, and has kept
a complete record of those emittfn e.

WOODWARD HOLDS
UP 100000 ALARM
SYSTEM CONTRACT

Mayor Woodward said today he was
holding up for investigation an ordinance
permitting the cutting OF streets to Law
the conduit for the new 100000 fire and
police alarm system. This is another
moral obligation similar to the crema-
tory contract to be paid in annual $4,000
installments.
While Mayor Woodward has made no
direct fight against 1T he has said he did
not wholly approve it,
Il don't know whether | will approve
this ordinance" he said today. II am
determined that the streets of Atlanta
shall not be cut up for the laying OF
pipes as they have been in the past. This
ordinance looks to me as though it would
permit the company 10 dig trenches in ali
the streets at one time

Youngsters, Unaware of Per-

Tiny Emerson Pruitt and timer Dan
Echols wondered why they were un-
dressed in the middle of the day, stood
up in outlandish poses, and had their

see them. that they are youngsters with

Their respective mothers explained

Neither believed It, but with an air Of
condescending. Obliging eccentric pho
tographers and incomprehensible moth

charms to the best advantage.
Emerson Pruitt is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. n Pruitt, $50 Central avenue.
and Dan Echols is the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Echols, 769 North Boulevard.
Admitting friends first suggested to
their parents that they would be worthy
children to enter the perfect baby"
contest. 1t was very easy to get the
parents to believe that.
Neither the friends nor the parents
were wrong. Emerson and Dan, enter

difficult to work out a decision as to

WEARY H|kERS
STOP To REST

BALTIMORE, MD, Feb. 24.--While
the indignant tail-end section of the
sufYragette army, headed by donkey
and commanded by Colonel Ida
Craft, limped toward the city today
the division under General Jones,
which was given an enthusiastic vel
come when 1t reached here last night
lay late in bed and splashed alcohol and
salve all over itself. Through a mis-
understanding yesterday, part of the
mixers took the road to Overlea, Bal
timore suburb, and were given orders
to remain there during the night. The
main body, headed by General Jones
took another road, planning also to go
to Overlea, but the general suddenly
changed her plans and led her follow
ers into Baltimore, without officially
notifying the warriors at Overlea.
Called General" Jones Down.
This morning Colonel" Craft got the
general on the telephone and told her
that 1t was a mean. mean trick, and
that the only way the little leader
could square herself would be to hus-
tie to Overlea with the pilgrims, who
reached there last night, and once
again walk into Baltimore.
But the general remarked some
thing about being tired, hung up the
receiver, and took another nap. The
colonel then called the little band of
tailender mixers and started them along
the five-mile road to Baltimore.
You just wait until | see the gen
erap tonight" said the colonel" You
just wait!"
Not Excited at Story.
The little general. however, was
not much perturbed by the colonels
yelled threat nor did she worry much
about the report that President elect
Wilson would refuse to give an au-
dience to the mixers for the purpose of
permitting General" Jones to hand
him the letter that will ask that he
advocate suffrage in his inaugural ad-
dress.
1T listens to me like mere newspa-
per talk" said the general"
I'VE aren't the worrying kind We
will get that letter to Mr.. Wilson, all
right. We certainly aren't going to
hike nearly $50 miles for purpose and
then fail"
The pilgrims will rest here 1t is ex-
pected now that Washington will be
reached Friday noon.

LEMACKS SENT TO PEN.
ColIeton Prisoner Transferred After
Attempt to Break Jail.

WATERFORD, Aug. 14.-1. S. Lem
acks, who is in the county jail await
ing trial on the charge of having
killed Aquila Blocker, of the Black
Creek section of the county, nearly
succeeded in escaping from the coun-
ty Jail yesterday morning at 1870.
Tearing up the flooring he used a
piece of the floor as club and had
broken through the ceiling of one of
the rooms on the first floor, which had
been occupied by Sheriff Owens in
the absence of Jailer Padgett.
If the discovery had not been made
as early as it was, in the course of
another half hour Lemacks, in all
probability, would have succeeded in
making his escape. The wife of
the jailer, hearing a noise, gave the
alarm and the sheriff Immediately
came upon the scene and securely
shackled the prisoner.
The Governor was communicated
with by wire and instructions were
received to send the prisoner to the
penitentiary yesterday afternoon. A.
V. Sykes, special deputy sheriff, left
with the prisoner on the 2.30 train.
