that the people voted down this form of
charter at the election in September,

The majority of the board members
who would be legisated out of Office if
the proposed charter were adopted are
bitter in their denunciations of the &C
ton of the committee.
This element will fight to prevent the
adoption of the charter by the commit
tee of 25. If they fail there, their eff
forts will become evident in council.
If they fail to obstruct it in council,
the charter fight practically will be won.

DAN SHAW FINISHES
STOCKADE SENTENCE:
HELD FOR OLD FINES

Dan Shaw, who has been serving a
sentence in the city stockade for blind
tiger operations, finished serving his SEN
tence today and was lodged in the city
jail until it is learned what disposition
will be made of the three fines imposed
upon him and still unpaid.
Shaw said today that relatives in Vir-
ginia had agreed to pay his fines, and
he asked for a conference with Philip
Weltner secretary of the Georgia Prison
Reform association, to see about getting
the fines reduced. There is at present
outstanding one fine of rs, imposed
for attempting to escape from the stock
ade; another of 5000 imposed by superior
court, and one of $500 set by Recorder
n. r. Broyles, and which was appealed
to superior court. The appeal will be
withdrawn, according to Shaw, and this
fine paid with the two others.
When he is released from prison, Shaw
says he will move to Richmond, Va,
where his wife and two children are liv-
ing. He said he intended to live a
straight life in future and would leave
whisky absolutely alone.

INAUGURAL TRIP
No JUNKET-NASH

Adjutant General J. VanHolt Nash
today issued a statement giving his
views on the plan to send the Fifth
regiment to the inauguration at Wash
ington and correcting the impression
that holiday for the soldier boys was
proposed
Here is the adjutant generals state
ment:
Il look. at this matter from a differ
ent viewpoint possibly than that of
the layman. However, 1 attribute the
apparent apathy on the part of the pub
lie generally to a mistaken impression
that seems to have pervaded the dis
cussion and gone abroad as true-that
this proposed trip of the national guard
to Washington is to be nothing but a
holiday and junket got up by them for
their own benefit, when, in fact, the
movement did not originate with the
guard, but with the merchants of this
city of ours, to advertise Atlanta be-
fore the nation.
"If the troops are sent to perform
this duty, what will be required of
them? They will be called upon to
make many personal sacrifices, to say
nothing of leaving their business inter-
ests and their families.
They will be required to go under
the strictest military discipline, and,
upon arrival in Washington, parade
many miles, carrying heavy guns and
equipment, possibly through sleet, rain.
slush and snow, returning to their home
stations Immediately after the inaugu-
raj ceremonies.
DO you call that fun? Well, 1 don't.
for 1 have tried it, and know whereof
| speak.
Now just a word concerning the ma
tional guard as an organization.
Every we'll informed citizen knows,
without further comment, the necessity
for and the usefulness of citizen SOL
diery, but very few stop to analyze the
motives or precepts of the command
and the inducements offered young men
to become members.
The purpose of the national guard
Is to preserve law and order and pro-
tect life and property, that our citizens
may enjoy fully that freedom and safe
ty granted by the constitution of our
country. That they perform this duty
well is proved in the daily press re-
ports"
