Salary Increases
Illegal, Aldermen
Must Meet Again

The proposed Increases in the pay
Of City Electrician r. C. Turner and
several other city officials were to
some extent threatened when Mayor
Woodward made the point Thursday
that the meeting of the 1912 Alder
manic Board Monday was illegal and
that its action had no standing.
Mayor Woodward said he did not
call the body into a special session
and it could not meet by any other
method, except on the regular day.
The board, therefore, will meet Thurs
day afternoon to repeat it's action.
The salary Of the Office of city cleo
trician was increased from $1,000 to
$1,000, the salary of one tax assessor
increased from $4,000 to $4,000, and
superintendent of prisons, Thomas
Lanford. had his pay raised from
$1,000 to $1,000. Mayor Woodward
has signified his intention of approx
ing these increases as soon as they
are passed up properly.

Mississippi Legislature Gets De-

Against State School.

cular letter signed by S. I. Payer of
Mobile, containing highly sensational
charges against the management of
the Industrial Institute and College
at Columbus, was placed on. the
desks of members of the Legislature
day and gave an inexpressible
shock to that body.
The circular consists of six type
written pages. Among the charges
set forth therein are the following:
THAT the girl students at the col
lege leave the grounds at night by
appointment with men and take
horseback rides, automobile and bug
gy drives, etc.
THAT the descriptions of rides as
given by the men who have taken
part in them are too indecent and
obscene to send through the mails.
That the college girls meet men
in the railway stations and in box
cars at night; that these men are
also familiar with some of the girls
rooms III the college dorInitory.
That the college is wide open, no
protection afforded the girls and all
discipline has been abandoned.
That students are required to ap-
pear before men in short boomers
and tights without skirts.
That travelling men refer to the
college as the biggest leg show in

SIMS GETS YEAR
Or A FINE AS
EMbEZzLER
Former East Point City Clerk Is
Given Light Sentence-ReIa-
tives Expected to Save Him.

J. r. Sims. former City Clerk OF
East Point, was sentenced TO twelve
months in the changing, with an al
tentative of a $500 fine, by Judge
Hin, Of the Superior Court. Thursday
morning, after a consent verdict Of
guilty, with a recommendation for
mercy. had been entered TO the charge
Of embezzling sl,102 from the city
funds.
Ii is understood that relatives will
come TO his aid and pay the fine, pre-
venting Sims from going to prison.
Judge Hill passed sentence upon
Sims after John w. Humphreys. city
attorney of East Point. appeared in
court to request leniency for Sims.
Mr.. Humphreys declared the former
City Clerk had made full settlement
with the town, and that East Point
was not a financial loser through the
epbezzlements.
The attorney also said that at the
time of the shortage there were ex-
renuating circumstances. inasmuch as
his wife was i'll, and he had other
things to worry him. Mr.. Humphreys
also declared that previous to the dis
Covery of the shortage Sims had a
good reputation and conducted him
self we'll
AS City Clerk 1t was Sims duty to
collect assessments for street i'm
provements and other special taxes
levied by the city. Last September
he resigned his office and at the time
he was reported short in his ac-
counts. No criminal action was taken
until a few weeks ago, when auditors
who went over his books appeared
before the Grand Jury. which re-
turned an indictment charging en-
beZZlement.
Sims, while admitting a shortage,
declared 1t was due to faulty book
keeping and not to criminal intent.

Gun FIRED
AGAINST NEW
CITY COURT
Taxpayer" Petitions to EnjoIn
County From Advancing Funds.
Unique Points Raised.

Atlantas new Municipal Court
heard the first gun Thursday morn
ing in the battle against II. The MI
nfcipal Court jumped. for the gun
doomed from an unexpected quarter
The new court had been expecting
a rumpus from the justices of the
peace whose jobs were abolished oy
its creation But the first gun was
not fired by an irate u. P" 1t was
in the form of petition by one d.
II. McWiliams, citizen of Fulton
County, standing on his constitutional
rights, and fling with Judge Ellis'
through Gober & Jackson as his at
torneys, a bulky petition to restrain
the Fulton County Commissioners and
Treasurer from paying the salaries or
expenses Of the new court out of the
county's money.
Judge Ellis considered the petition
Thursday morning and set the hear
ing for January 10.
Gober Discusses Case.
Discussing tho petition. Judge Geo.
F.. Gober stated that he had rarely
handled case embodying more con-
stitutional law
1.-THE fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States is a
salient feature Of this petition he
said, "and that is merely small part
Of the State and national constitu-
tional law that appears to bear on the
case
1.-THE core of the petition is that
McWilliams, n citizen of Fulton Coun-
ty. objects to paying taxes for the
support of a municipal court. whose
jurisdiction embraces less than one
fourth of the area of the county 1t
Is a taxpayers petition. pure and
simple, but II affects every taxpayer
In Fulton County. For that reason,
the case is of considerable lmpor-
lance. The maintenance of this court
will take from $4,000 to $4,000 OF
the county's money every year, and
that is no small item"
Judge Gober said that the Georgia
Legislature of 1912 had provided the
change in the style of court from the
justice of the peace plan 10 munich
pal court in Atlanta.
No Provision for Maintenance.
But no method of paying its ex-
penses was provided" he added. The
justices, of course. were PAID by their
fees. The Constitution provides one
justice of the peace to each militia
district and while 1t might be con-
stitutional to amend that provision to
form a city court like this new af-
fair, 1t certainly is unconstitutional
to compel county taxpayers to main
tain It,"
That was where the famous four
teenth amendment came in. The part
bearing on the petition reads:
NO State shall make or enforce
any law which shall bridge the privi-
leges or immunities of citizens of the
United States, nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection OF
the laws"
Referring to the phrase equal pro-
lection of the laws" Judge Gober sald
the Supreme Court has held that
taxes without due benefits are in
Guided in the meaning.
The case. Is expected to prove ex-
tremely interesting. even apart from
its close bearing on the situation and
standing of the ousted justices of the
peace

Wife of One Hears
Trio Of Pickpockets
Get Limit Penalty

Mrs. Max Fine, who came from
New York to aid her husband after
he had been arrested, together with
William Hoffman and Louis Gozallo,
as a pickpocket, heard him sentenced
to six months in the Fulton Tower
and two years in the chain gang in
Judge Hills division of the Superior
Court Thursday morning. Hoffman
and Gozallo received like sentences.
The trio entered pleas of guilty to
two of the nine cases against them,
and Solicitor General Dorsey dis
missed the remaining seven. The
men were arrested by local detectives
after they had robbed a score of per-
sons on the streets, one of their VIC
TINS being City Detective Hollings-
worth.
There is no doubt that you three
men are professional pickpockets,
said Judge Hill in passing sentence,
and l am sorry that the crimes to
which you plead guilty are misde-
meanors instead of felonies. Will
give you the limit in each case.
