SfflE FIGHT IN CDUHT--CITYIS ACCUSED Harwell Says He Will Force the Board's Hand—Broyles At tacks Conditions. With the declaration of Chairman R. M. Harwell, of the Atlanta smoke com mission, that he would force the hand of the smoke board at its next meeting, and with a positive assertion by Re corder Broyles that he would prosecute even the city of Atlanta if any of the departments violated the smoke ordi nances. the war against the nuisance was given added impetus today. Chairman Harwell said Inspector Paul McMichael had a long list of vio lators of the ordinance besides those who have been fined by Recorder Broyles. He said he would call upon the inspector to present his evidence to the commission and that he would in sist that cases be made against all those who are liable. Inspector McMichael has a list of more than 100 owners of stationary steam plants who are violating the smoke ordinance. Have Opportunity For Cases. “A majority of the commission voted that no more cases should be made without specific instructions from the board," said Mr. Harwell. "This was a repudiation of the board’s former or der instructing the inspector to make eases against all owners of steam plante who were not seriously endeavoring to comply with the law. "But the members of the commis sion insisted that the action was not to block the smoke crusade. They de clared i! simply was a precautionary measure. Wei’., if they are sincere, they will have an opportunity to make some cases at the next meeting. Otherwise nu men who have been fined fn the po ici court simoly have been made the ‘goats’ of the situation." Councilman Charles W. Smith, joined to others, is preparing to abolish the s.nokc commission. Chairman Har- A.-tl's test of the attitude of the com dssion will be made before Council- Smith introduces his abolishment ordinance in council. The next meeting of council will not be held until Mon day, November 17. ' Councilman Smith insists that the council virtually will be unanimous in support of the resolution to abolish the smoke commission, because the smoke commission has clearly broken faith with the council and the Chamber of ('ommerce. Recorder Broyles today declared that if the city of Atlanta, in any of it's de partments, is violating the dense smoke ordinance of the city, the city should be prosecuted, and asserted that he will in struct Smoke Inspector Paul McMichael to make cases in every instance of a violation. The smoke inspector, however, says his bands are tied and he can make no more cases against anyone unless the smoke board gives further instructions. So it appears that the city, along with other vio'ators of the law, is perfectly safe. City Violating Law. The action of the recorder follows a pepperv attack on the city in police court yesterday afternoon by Attorney Ben Phillips, of the firm of Slaton & Phillips, just after Councilman C. L. Ashley, of the Fourth ward, had been fined $25.75 by ’ Judge Broyles, Mr. Ashley is chief engineer of the Atlanta Brew ing and Ice Company Attorney Phillips openly asserted that the city is flagrantly violating the smoke lav. in ail of its plants, and de clared the present crusade against man ufacturers as unjust and unfair. "The city of Atlanta is openly violat ing this law every day, and yet it is seeking to place a burden on its tax payers." said the attorney. "The city should first show its good will in this matter by observing the law-. It is act ing unfairly toward its citizens.” Mr. Ashley sprang another sensation when he asserted that "there is some thing behind his case other than a mere violation of law.” He insisted that the case against him had been instigated by certain “hidden forces” that had ex erted a controlling influence over the smoke inspector. 90 Per Cent Violators. "I’m perfectly satisfied, your honor,” said the councilman-elect, "that Mr. McMichael would never have made this case of bis* own accord. He knows we are trying our best to comply with ibis law. He has not told me one word about it. but I know that certain in fluences prompted this case for a pur pose.” Inspector McMichael has informed the recorder that 90 per cent of the concerns in Atlanta which produce smoke are violating the smoke law, and the recorder has asked that cases be made against every one of them. The inspector says lie is powerless to make a move. "This is a good law and it certainly ought to be enforced,” says Judge Broyles. “Other cities are' abating, the smoke nuisance, and there’s no reason why Atlanta can't do it.” Obtain New Life.

Patterson Begins Four- Story Structure—Permit for Winecoff’s Hotel Issued. H. M. Patterson, head of the local un dertaking establishment at 96 North Forsyth street, broke ground today for a new four-story building which will he will erect on the adjoining lot, 94 North Forsyth. The building will cost $30,000 when completed and will be used for stores and offices. It will be of brick and cement. The front will be largely of terracotta and the entrance of ceramic tiling. The plan calls for a basement. Charles W. Bernhardt is the contractor and Edward E. Y)ougherty the architect, and the structure will be completed by April 1, 1913. When Mr. Patterson built his present building next to the Carnegie library eleven years ago he had it constructed so he could add three more stories so as to make a total of five, and his plan is to connect the old and new structures through the means of doorways, so that they can be used eventually as one building. Each property measures 40x 100 feet. With the completion of the Patterson building and the Ansley hotel. North Forsyth will rival portions of Peachtree. Close in the neighborhood and on the street are the Hillyer Trust Company’s building, the Forsyth theater, the W. E. Browne building, the Piedmont ho tel, etc. In this same neighborhood and slightly to the north there also is con siderable activity in building. The Winecoff Investment Company got a permit this morning to demolish the old Robert F. Maddox dwelling at the northeast corner of Peachtree and El lis streets, looking toward the con struction of Mr. Winecoff’s seventeen story hotel, which is to cost nearly $1,000,000.

Atlanta maid and matron are still mistress of the kitchen as well as the drawing room, despite the popular ut terance of the cynic that woman forgot how to cook when she learned to want to vote. Patrons of the uestaurant now being operated by the guild of All Saints church, 168 Peachtree street, will bear testimony to the fact that culinary skill is far from a lost art In Atlanta homes. The guild of All Saints has an ambi tious program of charity and church work for the yinter. Money is needed to carry out this program and the guild leaders, working on the theory that the easiest way to a man’s pocketbook is through his digestive apparatus, decid ed on a restaurant as the way and means of raising their fund. But cooks and waiters are expensive and the only way to obviate the neces sity of hljjng them was for the church workers to prepare the meals and serve them with their own fair hands. With a fine spirit they donned their aprons and cast aside their antipathy for grease spots. And the restaurant has proved a howling success. Men smack their lips when leaving it. The custom may be vulgar, but it is ex pressive. Each day an individual member acts as manager. Today Mrs. Harry M. At kinson presided over the destinies of the dainties. Mrs. Harry Stearns and Mrs. George Bonney were in charge yesterday. Young women in the church act as the waitresses and they have proved almost as attractive as the menu. those who are serving are Misses Evelyn Ragland. Lottie Wylie, Ada’Donaldson and Rebekah Divine.

Nov. 7. —Wood- row Wilson is going to enter the office of president of the United States With an open mind. He said so himself to day when he announced that he be lieved his course now in both state and national affairs should be to hear all people on both sides of every question before making any statement. After correspondents had asked Mr. Wilson a number of questions today about pro posed legislation lie said: “I think my right course now is to hear everybody and that I should not make any statements until every side of the various questions lias been present ed.” On the subject of legislation in New Jersey the governor said: “The state platform of this election presents an extensive program. I shall get together with rhe state leaders and then speak for them as well as for my self.” Sleeps Nine Hours. The governor had just completed a nine hours' sleep and was going through a waste paper basket filled with mail and telegrams. "One advantage of being elected pres ident,” he said, "is that people will now get my first name right. My first name lias been given every possible form that imagination can originate. The people seem to have gotten it right this morning." It was suggested that the opening and reading of all this mail would involve a lot of work. "The strange thing is that I can rec ognize the typewriting of some of my friends,” said the governor, as he went rapidly through the letters, reading merely the address. "I don’t know how I do it.” The governor said that he had a splendid night’s rest. “Most of the men who have been engaged in the cam paign are doing some heavy sleeping these days,” he said.

Dunne, of Illinois, wired: “Your election means the triumph of progressive Democracy. The governor elect of Illinois congratulates the presi dent-elect of the United States.” Booth Tarkington, the author, also wired his congratulations, ESCAPED CONVICTS SLAIN AFTER CHASE LASTING TWO WEEKS RAWLINS, WYO., Nov. 7.—Richard son and Backstrum, two convicts who escaped from the Wyoming penitentiary on October 13, were killed by a posse near Powder Springs, on the Colorado- Wyoming line. A fierce battle took place when the posse, headed by Sheriff Terrill and Deputy Sheriff Ogle, finally cornered the fugitives after a chase of more than two weeks. Burke, a third con vict, escaped and has not been cap tured. None of the posse was shot. Richardson, Backstrum and Burke, three of the most desperate among the eight convicts who escaped, had re mained together during their flight through the hills toward Colorado, eluding the pursurers time after time. All three were armed, and they stole food and ammunition along the way. Several posses have been constantly on their trail. The bodies of the dead convicts were brought to Rawlins. The pursuit of Burke will be continued. POSTOFFICES MUST BE WITHIN ONE-QUARTER MILE OF R. R. DEPOTS WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Postoffices will have to get within a quarter of a mile of railroad stations.
