BOSWELL IS GIVEN
FINE Of $500 Or
TERM IN JAIL
0isbarred Attorney Arraigned
for Sentence With Negro
He Had Defended.

With his eyes cast on the floor, Fl.
j. Boswell, former attorney, first to en-
ter a plea of guilty to the indictments
resulting from the Illegal arrest In
vestgation, stood with quivering lips
before Superior Judge Thomas in Grim
inal court this afternoon and received
a sentence in one case of $500 or twelve
months in Jail The judge suspended
Boswell's behavior
Directly behind the convicted lawyer,
also awaiting sentence, stood Oscar
Dewberry. a negro murderer, whom
Boswell, as attorney, had represented in
the same court only last November.
Dewberry had been adjudged guilty OF

and been sentenced to hang. He APP
pealed his case, but failed to obtain a
new trial He was waiting behind his
former attorney to receive q sentence
of death.
Judge Thomas, after he had passed
judgment on Boswell, ruled that Dew
berry should die on the gallows on
April 25
Boswell" said the court when the
boy who two days before had been
stripped of his right to practice law in
Georgia, 81 have been impressed with
the delicacy and seriousness OF this
matter, because 1t was intent of the
prosecution to show that there was
some conspiracy in operation in Full
ton county to liberate prisoners on
straw bonds
Il am not prepared to say whether
or not you are guilty of part in such
a conspiracy. You claim all knowledge
OF 1t, and the two charges to which
you have pleaded involve only the de-
frauding of negroes under the pretense
of arrest
Had it been solely question of a
straw bond conspiracy the court could
not accept n money price. straw
bond system would involve too much;
would be too detrimental to the pub
lie to permit of a mere fine.
"In all this am giving you the bene-
fit of the doubt. You have pleaded
guilty to misdemeanor. You are q
young man, who has been stripped OF
all privileges before the bar. You say
you expect to go away and start new
For this and for the reason that
you have never been definitely con-
nected before this court with any straw
bond plot l will assess a fine Of $500
i in one case and hold the judgment In
suspension in the other"

MACON. GA. March 5.--The request OF
the Georgia Railway and Power Company
of Atlanta. for the return Of tho $40.
600 deposited by It upon receiving q fran
chise from the city Of Macon last year
has precipitated a bitter fight in council
Some Of the aldermen take the position
that the company never intended operat-
ing in Macon. but secured the franchise
merely as a bluff, to keep tho Central
Georgia Power Company, OF Macon, from
extending it's system to Atlanta. There
were several heated arguments on the
proposition last night, but action was
deferred until next Tuesday night.
Notice was given that certain citizens
will probably seek an injunction to re-
strain the city from returning the money.

BEFORE COUNCIL

| The fate of the new charter, now
known as the charter of the committee

nous approval by the committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Woodward. today
rests with council.
Mayor Woodward said today the
charter would not be presented to the
adjourned meeting of council tomorrow
afternoon, but that he would call spe-
cial meeting Of council next week to
consider it.

genuine reform of the whole structure

Commerce, showing gross incompe-
tency in various departments, and fin-
ally brought to head by the appoint
ment of a charter revision committee
by Mayor Woodward, has now reached
definite shape for the people to act
! BY a vote of seventeen to four the
committee of twenty-five adopted a
resolution urging council to submit
| this charter to an election OF the peo-
pie within sixty days. The resolution
also suggests that If council does not
approve the charter it shall draft one
OF its own and submit It to the people
at the same election.

RAILROAD SMOKE
CASES CD OVER
FOR A DAY
Specific Charges Demanded by
Defendants in Recorder
BroyIes' Court Today.

Smoke nuisance cases, made by
Smoke Inspector Poole against five
| railroads, today were continued by Re
corder Broyles until Tuesday morning
at 10 o'clock because the railroads de-
manded specific charges against spe-
cif1c persons.
Later a movement was started for a
conference Monday between represen-
tatives of the railroads and Inspector
Poole and Attorney William f. Arnaud,
special prosecuting counsel. with view
/ to discussing the situation and arriv-
ing at an agreement This conference
will be held in the Offices of Arnaud G.
Donehoo in the Third National Bank
building.
The five cases were made against
general representatives of the several
railroads for the emission Of dense
smoke by locomotives. and the point
was raised that the charges should be
directed against the particular engine
men responsible for the violation and
that the exact time of the offense
should be specified. It was in order to
permit this to be done that the hearing
was postponed.
Roads Involved.
The railroads involved are the N, c.
& ST. L., the Southern, Seaboard Air
Line, Central and the Atlanta Joint
Terminals.
Smoke Inspector Poole declared to-
day that by June 1 there would be quite
perceptible decrease in Atlanta s
TENDER 1 every stationary steam plant
within radius Of two miles Of the city
hall would be complying with the
smoke law, or that they will have been
fined so much they will be ready to
close down.
Though tho inspector claims that
great strides are being made toward
the abatement OF the nuisance, he said
he realized the accomplishments were
not apparnt to the casual observer. He
has found the owners of stationary
plants willing and ready to rebuild
their furnaces as fast as he is able to
tell them what to do. Because the rail-
roads did not show a similar spirit, he
| docketed cases against them, and he
announced his policy is to make cases
| against every one at regular intervals
who refuses to get In line with the
municipal policy.
Bad Furnaces Cause.
| The buildings making most smoke
at present, Inspector Poole pointed out
are those making the greatest effort tC
comply with the law. With the return
to warm weather, he said, the work
of rebuilding furnaces could be done
much more rapidly. The whole smoke
problem is caused by improper furnace
| facilities.
Also the smoke commission has de-
cided to extend it's fight to apartment
houses as soon as the weather becomes
warm enough for them to do without
| heat

Value Of Labor.

Labor is commodity to be bought
ard sold notwithstanding the maudlir
criticism of some theorists, writes G
w. Post in Leslie's. Labor is not the
man himself, whom | consider a part
of the divine, but labor is his output
Just the same as wheat is the output
OF the farmer, and IL is a subject foi
purchase and sale, and upon It's quail
!ty depends its demand and It's value
There are two kinds OF labor, the one
manual and the other mental. When
the skilled workman possesses a train
ed mind which directs his hands, he
rises IN value, and when he reaches a
plane where his mind is SO well train.
ed that he in turn becomes a creator
and must needs devise and direct, he
then requires other hands to carry
out his ideas. Then he again rises in
the plane OF value to humanity, and
his compensation must keep pace.
