(American News Serrlce.) Chattanooga. Aug. 31. Charging that Joseph A. Choate "has brought disgrace and dishonor on the American bar," James D. Watts of New York today at the meeting of the American Bar association, demanded the disbarment of the former ambassador to England, and former president of the association Itself. Watts

alleges neglect, deceit and failure to protect clints property rights entailing a loss estimated at a half to one million dollars. Mr. Watts Is a coal, broker, living at West Brighton. Staten Island, New York. - Watts states In his allegations that Choate had an associate. Treadwell Cleveland of Long Island, in whose hands Choate placed litigation that had been-entrusted to the ex-ambassador. .

Watts, according to the complaint, had a large coal business In 1884, and contracted with two men named Weston, who guaranteed him certain prices for coal, the contract running till 1901, being worth about $500,000. The contract guaranteed specifically large business with the primrose colliery of Pennsylvania, and It called on the Weatons and Mr. Watts or their successors U make advances of capital to the Primrose colliery a "certain agreement," held by the three in the deal to become the property of Watts. The firm of Weston Bros, ft Watts, ll Is set forth, did business until 1885 when the firm was dissolved. Watts becoming sole owner, under the guarantee of Weston Bros, that the contract would be fulfilled until 1901, it Is alleged. ' Watts was named to liquidate the firm's affairs. In 1888 his former partners began an action against him, asking an accounting. Judge Donohue, of the Supreme court of New, York, decided In favor of Watts at 1:56 p. m. This decision. It Is alleged, was never transmitted to Watts by Mr. Choate or his representatives. He alleges that the firm of Evarts, Choate and Beaman Informed him that the case had been dismissed by Judge Donohue and

charges further that the lawyers failed to file the opinion and thus secure him

against further action. This failure,

It Is charged, resulted In years of lit!

gatlon In which Choate's. firm neglect

ed his Interests and allowed the case

to go by default, costing him the for tune mentioned In the complaint.

. The papers In' the case were taken by the . firm but never given to bim

or returned to the court. Watts says

Then Watts had lawyers begin suit In the federal courts against the Wes-

tons for $300,000 damages, losing again. It la charged, through the ne

glect of his attorneys.,

He alleges also that by accident he

heard an attorney for the Westons of

fered Choate 850,000 for Treadwell Cleveland. Mr. Choate's trial attorney. The complaint placed before the bar association under the latter's cannon of sties. It Is the first action of Its kind aver brought before the associa

tion.

MUST USE GOOD BRICK

The Street Car company was order

ed to cease using old brick on South

Eighth street this morning by the po

lice department. It is said the. com

pany was putting in old brick in do

ing their part of paving the street.

NOTHING LIKE ECONOMY. The pay roll In Glen ' Miller park reduced from $205.10, two weeks ago, to $131.10, this week, when Mr. Hollern paid off his men. The number of laborers employed was greatly reduced. Mr. Hollern is determined to make Glen Miller an economical park.

BRICK FLOOR SUGGESTED

Approximately $12,000 has been spent placing wooden floors on the Doran bridge since 1900, according to D. C. Genn, street commissioner. The bridge is now ready for another floor as the present one Is rotted out and is very dangerous. White oak floors cost about $2,500. This will mean in ten years keeping a floor in this bridge has cost the city nearly $15,000. Street Commissioner Genn says the only way to permanently repair the bridge is to put in a brick floor. How

ever, as the frame work of the bridge is not strong enough for brick it would

be necessary to brace the bridge, but

Mr. Genn declares that this would be economical compared with putting in wood every two years. Brick, according to City Engineer Charles, is out of the question for he says the whole structure of the bridge would have to be changed, costing an enormous Bum of money. He admits the proposition of taking fire of the Doran bridge is a serious one. The floor has rotted through in a

number of places and the fire departments have been instructed to drive slow on account of this. The city will attempt to make the floor last until the first of the year.
