Charles II. Ebbets, owner and pres
ident of the Brooklyn baseball cluo
Of the National League, spent three
hours in Atlanta to-day. And 1t was
the busiest three hours he ever spent
anywhere, for in that time he sigred
Nap Rucker for three years. Frank
Allen for two years and Red Smith
for one year. Also during his stop
off here Magnate Ebbets announced
that he had received a wire from
Catcher Heckinger, former Cub, that
he would return to the Dodgers this
spring.
Quite some three hours!
For the benefit of those who may
not be thirty third degree fans
Rucker is the greatest left hand
pitcher in the game, whose home is
in Roswell; Allen, former Mobile
hero, is some southpaw himself, and
lives in Newman, Ala: Smith, eN-

Auburn star, plays third b~5e for the
Brooklyn team, and lives in the West
End.
All three of the players received a
big boost in salary. While Mr.. Eb-

having Rucker for the next three

the three seasons,

Combinations of capital. Addressing
the Senators and Representatives, he
inatlgurated the third great reform
program Of his administration, the
others relating to tariff and currency.
The President served notice on big
DDS to coincide with public opinion.
He expressed bis wish to have cor
porations shown how to comply with
law. AT the same time he manifest
ed his desire to have the business
lawbreaker treated as any other
criminal, holding that guilt is per-
sonal. Congressional compliance with
this declaration means jail terms for
violators Of the antitrust law.
Suspicion and Antagonist Gone.
In suggesting his reforms, the
President pointed out that these fea-
lures can now be approached with
"dispa ssionate fairness" because OF
the disappearance of the atmosphere
Of suspicion and antagonism.
The average business man Is con-
WINGED" he said, that the ways OF
liberty are also the ways Of peace; at
last the masters Of business have
begun to Weld in honorable surren-
der"
In concluding his address. the Pres
ident, having pointed out the reforms
needed, declared these things must
of course, be undertaken If We are to
SQUARE our laws with the thought AMI
desire of the country. Until these
things are done conscientious Dust
ness men the country over will be IN
satisfied They are in these things
our mentors and colleagues. We are
now about to write the additional ar
ticles of our constitution Of peace,
the peace that is honor and freedom
and prosperity
In only one issue did the President
fail to indicate his personal opinion
| That related to controlling private
ownership, either by individuals or
co opera tive groups Of individuals.

to the Capitol to deliver an address
to Congress is the fifth since he has
assumed office.
Washington society turned out in
greater numbers to-day than at any
time since the Inauguration. Every
inch of the space in the gallery that
could be secured by members of the
official set was occupied long before
noon Members of the Cabinet and
their families had seats reserved. The
diplomatic gallery also was vel
filed.
In the Presidents gallery were seat

Foster and Mrs. Dean appeared in

FIRE ALARM
CENTER Of
At TACK
Gambler Leads Councilmen in
Move to Pay Company Only
Five Thousand Dollars.

Chairman w G. Humphrey, of the
Council Finance Committee, Tuesday
hurled defiance at the opponents of
the new budget and declared that the
Finance Committee would stand to-
gether and put it through as it now
stands.
1T is a good finance sheet and
when the members of Council have
studied it ! am confident they viii
realize it is their duty to support it.
he said.
We've worked hard on it, spend =
ing practically whole week in the
effort, and only the interests of the
whole city We're considered by the
final actions.
"Of course all the needs of the city
are not taken care of. The Council
can't change the budget and provide
for them. And YOU can bet your hat
the budget will pass as it is
Woodward for Budget.
! Mayor Woodward is heartily back
of Chairman Humphrey. He declared
it was time TO have harmony in the
city government, adding:
III they don't buy that fire alarm
system this year | don't know when
thew viii buy. but it won't be on
! any moral obligation plan"
| With the new budget made pub
| lie. a fight by Councilmen was de-
| termined upon Tuesday against the
item offering $4,000 to the Okonite
| Company, of New York, for the new
fire alarm system.
| Some members of Council would
| appropriate all this money but $4,000
for other purposes. Alderman John
| S. Gambler expressed his opinion OF
| the item to number of members OF
the Finance Committee following the
adjournment Of Council Monday
afternoon in this wise:
You can't put anything like that
over. There is nothing but politics
I back of II,
To Cut 1t to $1,000.
We have q good contract with the
| Okonite Company to rent that sys-
tenn for one year for $4,000. If at
the end of that time we want to buy
It, we can.
TT is absurd to try to buy a Gre
| matory and fire alarm system IN
one year. We can't DO H. Instead
of $4,000. the Council will give you
$4,000" -,
! Councilman CLAUDE G. Mason, Al
derman Albert Thomson and num-
! Der of others agreed with Alderman
! Gamblers views on the fire alarm
contract.
Councilman Mason said the atti-
| tude of the Mayor had prevented the
extension of any alarm to his section
the Tenth Ward, and other outlying
districts.
A caucus is agreed upon by ma
| ioritv of the members of Council who
are not members of the Finance
| Committee.
Await Copies Of Budget.
They will met soon as city
Clerk Taylor furnishes copies of the
| budget.
II is doubtful II the opposition to
the budget can muster majority IN
Council, but it is reported that five
| members of the Aldermanic Board
nave agreed to hold 1t up until IT is
amended as the caucus decides.
Another action Of the Finance
Committee to arouse particular oppo-
sition was the adjustment of the jobs
of Sidewalk inspectors D'Alvigny and
