BAND OF CHILDREN IN STREETS,
SINGING AND BEGGING FOR ALMS,
AROUSES THE MAYOR TO ACTION
‘Memorial Orphanage’
Brings a Score to
Town Every Night.
BASEBALL
NO LAWS AGAINST
SUCH EXHIBITIONS
City Warden and Associated
Charities Have Thor
oughly Investigated.
Grider the guise of chnrlty there are
conditions existing In Atlanta so de
plorable, and without proper laws to
mend matters, that Mayor Woodward
intends taking the bull by the horns
and, even If the statutes do not ex
actly cover the case, order the arrest
of any one bringing out children on the
streets at night to gather in shekels for
personal or other uses.
This action Is caused by the pres
ence In the streets of Atlanta every
night for a month of twenty or thirty
young children, under the banner of the
•Memorial orphange.” These tots are
made to sing and to beg for ulms from
passersby, loafers, bums and the lowest
types of social flotsam. They stand,
and In their innocencp see drunkards
reeling out of saloons and Into the
streets; they hear the clanging of the
patrol wagon as it makes Its trips
through Marietta street, and they look
and wonder as to the worst things of
a city’s life.
This condition of things has been
going on for some time, and for the
last month Dr. T. D. Longlno, presi
dent of the Associated Charities of
Georgia, has been carrying on a quiet
investigation, with the result that the
governor of the state, the head of the
prison commission, senators and the
city officials have been asked to Inter
fere.
No Laws to Cover Case.
Governor Terrell states that the con
ditions are bad, but that he can do
nothing; tho senators and representa
tives who have been seen have been
afraid to bring the matter up so that
proper laws can be made, and Pro
batlon Officer Gloer states that no
laws are now In force by which he
can stop the children being brought
on the street*. Mayor Woodward de
clare* that he will have any one ar
rested who carries on the nefarious
business.
The rase lq question Is that of the
"Memorial orphanage," at 52 and 54
South McDaniel street, which Is con
ducted by a Mr. and Mrs. Harwell.
It Is claimed that there are some 25
little ones in the home; that they hpve
tint sufficient* to cat nor sufficient cloth
ing to shelter their bodies from the
weather; that they are hauled out at
night when they should be in bed
asleep , and that they are put up as ex
hibits with which to create sympathy.
Secretary Logan, of the Associated
Charities, has also made a thorough
Investigation of the orphanage and has
returned a report similar to that of
Mr. Evans.
Anybody May Start Orphanage.
At the present time, so President
Longlno states, any one may start an
orphanage, with or without money;
may go around the streets gathering up
the waifs and place them In the Insti
tution and there make whatever use
Is desired of their young bodies.
"Just the other day,” said President
Longlno, Thursday morning, "a negress
came to me and asked that she be al
lowed to open a colored orphanage. 1
DR. T. D. LONGINO
DISCUSSES THE MA TTER
"Governor Terrell, when called upon, said that he was willing to give
his help In stopping these children from being dragged out on the streets
at night, but that he could do absolutely nothing at the present time.
General Clement A. Evans, head of the prison commission, also stated
that he was In sympathy with the movement, but could do nothing.
"Probation Officer Gloer has stated that no law covers the situation.
So there seems to be but one remedy left: the city council should pass
laws forbidding any one to open an orphanage without a license, and
these licenses not given unless proper people are at the head of the in
stitution and proper financial backing Is assured. This is the only way I
see of mendlqg matters, as the legislature will not create the laws desired."
LITTLE CHILDREN PRAYED
FOR VISIT FROM CARNEGIE
During the recent visit of Andrew Carnegie to this city, a few
• months ago, the husband of Mrs. Harwell called at the mayor’s office on
the morning of Mr. Carnegie’s arrival, and besought through that chan
nel the delivery of a letter to the wealthy visitor.
Being questioned by the mayor’s secretary, Mr. Harwell stated that
the letter contained an urgent invitation for Mr. Carnegie to visit the
children’s home, on McDaniel street. When told that It would not be
possible to deliver the letter to the wealthy gentleman, Mr. Harwell seem
ed greatly disappointed.
"I do not see why," he said. "He is always giving away money, and
my wife and I think he would help us take care of these little children If
we could get him out there to see the work we are doing and how badly
money Is needed. My wife and the children will be awfully disappointed
If he don’t come.
"She has been praying for several nights, and she has had all the
little ones praying that he will come and help us. The children know
that their prayers will be answered, and my wife feels positive he will
come out there. She said as I left this morning that she couldn’t see any
thing less than twenty-five thousand dollars coming from him—wouldn’t
think of anything less. And the children all believe that, too, they have
been praying so earnestly.’’

asked what money she had to back
the charitable enterprise, and she stat
ed: ’Ah’s got tin, dollahs.’ This is about
the way things now stand, anil as the
state law-makers refuse to make laws
governing the situation, the city coun
cil should. When I get In council next
year I will certainly draw up an ordi
nance which will better matters.’’
Mayor Woodward, when advised of
the prevailing conditions, communi
catcd with Officer Gloer, who In reply
stated that there were no laws touch
ing upon this phase of cruelty
children and that his hands are tied.
City. Warden Thomas Evans,
recently Investigated the "Memorial

Of course I wanted to ferret out the

I got was that the Lord provided. I asked
In what way the Lord provided. Nhe said
that George Harrow, n enndymnn. gave $2
a month. Mr. Fnuss of the Capital City
Laundry $2 per month, and one other per

No Educational Training.

receiving religious training, but they have,
