Fire Damages Giant
Electric Generator;
Delay Only Slight

A burst of flame from one of the
big generators on the lower floor OF
the Butler street power plant of the
Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany, near Decatur street, ignited
some oily waste and the wood casing
of the big machine and filled the
building with smoke about noon Tues
day.
An alarm was turned in and the
plant shut down, as the smoke was
too thick to permit anyone to enter
The fire was soon put out. 1t had
been caused, officials said, by a de-
fective arc light in the machine. The
generator, worth from $4,000 to $780,
900, was smoked badly, but aside from
the wood casing was unchanged.
A big crowd gathered in Decatur
and Butler streets to watch the Are"
but as soon as the building was
cleared OF smoke the workmen went
back to their duties and the plant re-
sumed operation.

CUMMINGS
Confers With Mayor and Says Pc
titions Will Be Circulated
Among Voters Soon.

The fight to Dust Fire Chief W. B.
Cummings took a more serious turn
Tuesday when Councilman Jesse B.
Lee, close friend of Mayor Woodward.
announced that petitions for the re-
call of Chief Cummings were being
prepared and soon would be circulat-
ed for signature by registered vot-
ers.
II think he should be fired for In
subordination," said Councilman Lee,
but in seeking legal light l am In
formed that one city official has as
much right to cuss another as the
other has to cuss him. Therefore 1t
seems useless to try to handle the
matter through Council.

the law seems to provide.

think the best way to settle 1t is to

Chief Cummings is serving four
year term which does not expire until
July, 1915. His last term was two
years, but tust before the last cleo
ton the law was changed, extending
it to four years.
Thus Chief Cummings term over
laps Mayor Woodward's term at both
ends.

Mayor Woodward said Tuesday he
had heard many reports about what
might be done to Chief Cummings,
but that he had no comment to make.
He held a conference with Council
man Lee and Alderman c. C. McDon-
aid, acting chairman of the Board OF
Firemasters. Alderman Mcdonald
has called meeting of the board for
Wednesday night. The members of
the board are all close friends Of
Mayor Woodward. In fact, Chief Cum

peals. But the delegation of citizens

One case of this sort happened a few
days ago. Horses were about to be
shipped from Pimlico to Washington,
D. G., but before they were allowed to
move the owners were forced to pay
81 head for inspection, which was
not made. What do you call that? l.

III The Sun will take the lead in
this matter, it will have the hearty
cooperation of every cattleman and
farmer in the State, as every ex-
perienced cattleman knows the dis
ease can be cured and there il no
necessity of all this killing. The fever
can be broken with aconite, and sores
are healed by applying carbolic acid.
