SETTLEMENT ON
FIRE ALARM IS
RUN0RED
Okonite President Here-Price
of $4,000 Said to Have
Been Agreed To-

Rumors that Mayor Woodward has
reached an agreement with the Oko-
mite Company of New York that will
mean the end of his war against the
acceptance of the new fire and police
alarm systems recently installed, were
heard in City Hall circles Saturday
1t is understood that the Okonite
Company has agreed to take $4,000
for the plant. a reduction of about
$4,000 from the original price OF
S105,000 Conferences were held Sat
urday morning between the Mayor
Assistant City Attorney w. D. Ellis
w. G. Humphrey, chairman of the
Council finance committee: Judge
Spencer Atkinson. representing the
Okonite Company, and it is gener-
ally believed that the agreement has
been signed and will be presented to
the Council Monday afternoon.
The payment of the amount asked
by the Okonite Company has been
fought bitterly by Mayor Woodward
since the completion of the system
The original plan called for the ac-
ceptance of the system by the city
and the payment of $4,000 a year
rental until the whole cost was paid
when the system would be turned
over to the city.
This plan of binding the city with
a moral obligation" was smashed
by the Mayor when he took the ere
matory fight to the Supreme Court
and following the decision against
moral obligations, efforts were Their
made to purchase the system out
right. The city offered $4,000 for
the plant, but for some time the
company held out for the full amount
of the contract.
Mayor Woodward refused to dis
cuss the rumored settlement Satur-
day, declaring that nothing definite
could be done until the Council meets
He stated, however, that President
Canady, of the Okonite Company, has
been in Atlanta since Wednesday
seeking a settlement.

VAN ORSDALE IS
SUCCEEDED BY
COL. GRIFFITH
Seventeenth's Trip Plans May
Call for AII-RaiI Journey--De-
partUre Date Not Set.

Colonel Thomas Griffith until
Thursday in charge of the recruiting
station at jefferson Barracks, St
Louis, will succeed Colonel j. T Van
Orsdale in command Of the Seven
teenth Regiment, which is due TO
leave soon for patrol duty along the
Mexican border Colonel VanOrsdale
retired Thursday from active service,
under the age limit clause Of the
army regulations.
Major Martin, who has been in
charge at the local post for the past
few months, has received word that
Colonel Griffith probably will arrive
in Atlanta Saturday afternoon to take
command of the regiment. 1t is un-
derstood that he will hold the COM
mand permanently. or, at least. as
long as the troops are on the border.
Owing to the inability of the War
Department to get an army trans
port to Savannah in time. changes
have been made in the plans for
transferring the regiment to Laredo,
Texas. where it mas been ordered,
The plan of going by rail from At
lanta to Savannah and thence to GAL
weston by water has been abandoned,
and it is now proposed to make the
trip an all-rail journey.
Waiting for Cars.
1t was stated at Fort Mcpherson
Saturday that, in all probability, the
troops will be moved from Atlanta in
three trains of Pullman, tourist and
baggage cars, and from New Orleans
by rail to Laredo, provided the local
roads can furnish a sufficient num-
Der of cars.
Friday night there were not more
than a score of cars in Atlanta avail
able for the troop train, and agents
of the roads have sent out hurry
call for rolling stock in anticipation
of the movement of the troops.
The orders received from the War
Department notifying the officers at
the fort of the proposed movement Of
the Seventeenth were very indefinite.
Thy stated merely that the regiment
would be moved shortly, without Civ
ing the destination other than Laredo,
and without telling them the time OF
departure.
Exact Date Not Set.
Captain Bankhead, adJutant OF the
regiment. wired his father, United
States Senator Bankhead, of Ala
bama inquiring the destination OF the
Seventeenth. The Senator replied
that no plans have been formulated
that contemplate the movement of the
regiment further than TO the border
at Laredo, and that the exact date OF
the movement has not been set.
=. a nst
however. that the troops will be or
dered to leave Atlanta Monday morn
ing. as the necessity for more troops
at the border is growing every day.
Preparations for departure continued
Saturday, and the regiment is now
ready to leave at almost a momoRt' s
notice The twelve companies Of the
regiment, as we'll as the artificers and
musicians have about completed
packing up the permanent camp
equipment.

FRANCHISE FOR
CITY FARES IS
REJECTED
Power Company Will Not Give
Transportation for Street Con-
cession, Says Arkwright,

Contending that his corporation now
furnishes city employees with ap-
proximately $4,000 worth of free
transportation annually, and that last
year it paid the city $l78,109.l7 in
taxes. President Preston 5. Ark
wright, of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. has declined the
city's proposition to exchange the
Butler and Alabama street franchise
for free transportation for twenty en-
ployees Of the water department.
1t is announced that Council will
be asked to grant the company a
franchise to extend the College Park
suburban line into Alabama street as
far as Broad, on condition the work
is done under the supervision of the
city's construction department and
the company agrees TO restore the
street
To Park Opera Cars.
President ArlSwright says the But
Ter street franchise, If granted. would
enable the company TO park cars dur
ing the opera season and facilitate
transportation to every part of the
city He told Council the company
desires an indeterminate franchise on
Butler street because it is planned to
abandon the Walton street express
station and establish one somewhere
on Butler street The company is
planning to erect an $4,000 brick
building.
Councilman Smith expressed him
self as favoring the Butler street
grant, but said he opposed making it
for life. He informed the railway Of
ficials that he would support the
franchise on a 39-year basis same as
the Gilmer street grant.
So Years Held Too Short.
Franchises covering only a period
OF 80 years are undesirable" said
President Arkwright. Corporations
investing the amount of money we
are investing is Atlanta figure on the
length of time it viii take to get the
investment paid back, Some lines
that Incorporated twenty Years have
not paid"
None of the old lines Of the At
lanta Rapid Transit Company will be
extended for the reason that the
franchises have the 39-year limit. said
