THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
RATflTPAT. SEPT
CRUSADE ON DIVES
IS BEGUN BV CITY
•EARLY SATURDAY:
Upward of 200 restaurants, eating
houses and lunch rooms will be closed
by October 1. The rattle of the war
drum haa been sounded and the cam-
I •« I kti against these "dives” now oper
ating under cltjr licenses has been
Started In earnest.
The Roberts ordinance placing re
sit lotions around all restaurants and
eating houses was passed at the last
at * don of council.
Saturday morning License Inspectors
R- A. Ewing and 11. O. Hayes com-
nii need delivering notices to the places
under lire. These notices are In the
f**rm of petitions to council and will
hate to.be signed and returned before
the last of September. They will then
be referred to the police committee,
■which will Investigate the location and
hear the reports of the Inspectors as
t ■ the general character of the places.
The petitions will then be referred
bark to council and passed or turned
NEGRO’S WILD ORATORY
MADE MERCHANTS FEAR
RACE WAR MIGHT COME
Street Preacher Was
Trying to Excite
Blacks.
Inspector Ewing said Saturday:
"Nearly every restaurant and lunch
house In Decatur street will receive a
cross mark, and If the ordinance Is
enforced will be put out of business."
Inspector Hayes said:
“The lunch houses and ‘dives' on Pe
ters street are even worse than those
on Decatur. They will also be closed
UP."
Councilman C. M. Roberts, author of
the ordinance, .which was drafted the
hist 'of last month, said Saturday:
■ The purpose of the ordinance Is to
pot an end to all this vagrancy. The
to groes go Into these restaurants and
there light and drink. Most of, the
smaller ones are located next to sa-
PiouH and are used by women who are
tu t allowed to go to the bars. These
•dives' have caused more trouble than
anything else In Decatur, Ivy and Pe
ters streets."
The ordinance places around the
restaurants and lunch rooms restric
tions almost aa strict a/i those around
the saloons. Proper permission from
the adjoining neighbors must be ob
tained. the restaurant must not be lo
cated next to a saloon and the owner
must be of good repute so far as hla
record In running such places is con
cerned.
There are In Atlanta 350 restaurants,
eating houses and lunch rooms. Out
of this large number only ten come
under the head of restaurant. These
and the better class of eating houses
will not be Interfered with by the or
dinance.
Councilman Roberts stated Saturday
that the ordinance would tend to help
the city's health to a great degree us
the lunch rooms were selling stuff not
lit to eat. Especially was this true of
the Decatur and Peters street places,
he said.
EXTENSION OF STATE
ROAD MAY BE NEAR
Steed, of Carroll, and Alex
ander Will Both Intro
duee Bills For It.
Pearing that the eloquent phrases of
J. B. Williams, a negro and a leader
among hla race, would cause a race
war, a number of the Peters street
merchants have petitioned Mayor
Woodward to revoke the permit grant
ed the radical.
Mayor Woodward notlfled the police
Saturday to .take In the license at the
first opportunity.
The petition was signed by J. C.
Mayson, of the Mayson Furniture Com
pany; Campbell & Poole, I«1 Peters
street; J. B. Williams, the Beld Dry
Goods'Company; 166-175 Peters street;
the Banknlght Furniture Company, 166
Peters street, and others.
It Is stated that williams, who re-
celved his permit from the mayor by
representing himself as a minister, se
lected such texts aa "The While Men’s
Crime," "The Lynching Question," "The
Right of the Negro" and others equally
sensational.
It Is further atated that hla eloquence
would arouse the members of his race,
who crowded around, to dangeroua
heights and that trouble of serious na
ture would result It the preaching waa
not stopped.
Mayor Woodward when he heard
about the case declared that he waa
going to put a stop to moat of the street
preaching. "After thla I will not Issue
liermlts to any other street preachers
unless l know they ore really worthy,"
said he. ‘T am going to call In nearly
every one that Is out and make the
negroes go to work. They are not do
ing any good, but are only exciting
other negroes and taking their earn
ings."
WllllamR dropped Into the mayor’s
office at an early hour and seemed to
have been severed from all his xealoua
eloquence against the white man. "I'm
a good nigger and want to do what'a
right," he said.
"I do Inside work," he replied when
some one offered him a Job of sawing
wood. ,
T
FURNISH^ TICKETS
Name Will Not Appear oh
Regular Democratic
Ticket.
"S. a. McLendon, Democrat; X, C.
Crenshaw."
That Is the way the' election blanks
to be s?nt out to the various precincts
by Secretary of State Cook read for
railroad commissioner.
The Socialists have no candidate for
railroad commlsaloner, aa they nomi
nated their state ticket before the
legislature passed the law making
these officers elective by the people.
Candidate Crenshaw through a per'
sonul representative wanted Secretary
Cook to place hla name on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Secretary Cook returned tilm word
that he had no authority over that
matter, as these tickets were printed
and sent out by the state Democratic
executive commltee.
It will be seen, then, that Colonel
Crenshaw will have to provide his own
tickets, reprinting the names of the
other nominees with his name sand
wiched In for railroad commissioner.
His name Is on the ticket only where
the Australian ballot system prevails.
Friends of Candidate Crenshaw at
the capitol Saturday were making the
contention that Nominee McLendon
bolted the national Democratic ticket
In 1696 and 1900, voting for Palmer and
Iluckner In the former campaign, and
for McKinley' and Roosevelt In the lat
ter.
If this fight Is carried to the hust
ings In the next three and a half weeks,
the contest for railroad commissioner
will assume more Importance than was
attached to Mr. Crenshaw's meteoric
announcement when first made.

BURTON WINS FIGHT
ING.O. P. CONVENTION
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 8.—Congressman Burton won the first fight In'
the Republican county convention Saturday when Francis W. Treadway,
hi* candidate for chairman, was elected to that office by in overwhelming
majority over William M. Eayle, the candidate of the Dlck-Foraker forces.
Senator-elect E. T. Steed, of Carroll,
will Introduce a bill to extend the state
road to the sea on the first day of the
session of the next senate.
He made that statement at the cup|
ltd Saturday morning. He will also
reintroduce and press to passage his
bill to elect the county school commta-|
eioneni by the people of their respective
i ountles, just as the other county of-|
t fleers are.
Senator Steed will icpresen^thS
Thirty-seventh, senatorial district In
tlo senate. He Is the only candidate
for president pro tem of that body.
For the past two terms he represented
Carroll In the house.
After attending to some business at
the capitol. Senator-elect Steed at
tended the Sacred Harp convention,
which opened Its thror days' session
Saturday at the Broughton Tabernaele.
In speaking of the extension or the
western and Atlantic, Senator Steed
raid that be would advocate making a
direct appropriation for the common
schools, taking part of the convicts to
put upon the extension and diverting
the rental of this road to this work.
A* the fertiliser fees will now go to
the district colleges, being diverted
from the school fund, ho thinks It
equally advisable to withdraw this half
of the rental of the Western and At
lantic from the school fund to eld In
this extension, supplying this deficit In
the school fund with a direct appro
priation from the slate treasury.
It Is also understood thnt Hon. Hoop
er Alexander, of DeKalb, will again
otter his bill for the same purpose In
the next house, and the passage of
one or the other of these measures
seems now more assured than at any|
previous ii
legislation.

TO CONVINCE WORLD
PASSES ARE SAFE TO
HARBOR ENTRANCE
Special to The Georgian.
New Orleans, Sept. 8.—New Orleans
la determined to show to the world that
the passes at tha mouth of the Mis
sissippi river forming the entrance to
the harbor are perfectly safe to all
navigation. Business men of the city
through the Progressive Union today
made a formal request upon Secretary
of the Navy Bonaparte asking the ap
pointment of a commission of com
petent engineers to Investigate and re
port upon the depth of the water. This
step Is actuated by a report coming
from Washington that the bureau of
navigation objects to sending the new
battleship Louisiana here to receive the
silver service that the citizens of this
state have contracted for to present the
state's namesake on the ground that It
Is dangerous to Mi)d the big ship
through the shallow 1 passes. The rec
ords show the Mrs of this character
to be groundless. Every congressman
amt senator in the Mississippi valley
has been asked to assist In securing
thle commission.

The figures are as follows
"The klttg of France marched his
army up the hill and then marched
down again."
And that waa what the convention of
candidate# for the proposed court of
appeals did at at state capltot Wed
nesday.
After an hour's Informal discussion
among themselves, they reached the
conclusion that It would be entirely Im
proper for them to make any sugges
tion to the state Democratic executive
committee and adjourned without tak
ing any uctlon whatever.
There were Just fourteen candidate*,
active and prospective, present. There
were only "13” at first, but Judge Fos
ter came In and broke the unlucky
spell.
The session was held In the supreme
court library shortly after the noon
hour Saturday and adjourned after an
hour's Informal talk among the lawyers
present. Judge I. M. Roberts, of East
man, was chairman and Logan Bleck
ley. secretary.
Those “present were: David M. Rob
erts. Kastman; Bartow 8. Willingham,
Forayth; P. P. Proffitt, Elberton; Ar
thur O. Powell, Blakeley; T. J. Chnp-
E ll, Columbus; W. R. Hammond, At-

Orange; E. P. Davis, Warrenton; H.
l’eeples, Atlanta; B. H. Hill, Atlanta;
W. M. Henry, Rome; F. C. Foster,
Madison.
A letter from Chairman A. L. Miller,
of the state Democratic executive com
mittee, to Logan Bleckley waa read to
the meeting, staling that It was Impos
sible for liim to attend, but that he
would with pleasure submit any sug
gestion they might make to the meet
ing of the state committee when they
met next Wednesday.
Three plans tor naming these Judges
will probably be considered by the com
mittee next Wednesday, as follows:
1. To nominate three candidate# at
the October election to be voted for at
the November election, a separate box
to be put at each polling place In the
',?i)0 districts In the state.
2. To call a primary election some
time during October.
3. To let the candidates run It out In
scrub race at the November elec
tlon.

THIRTY-FIVE BOYS ARE RELEASED
FROM THE WARD OF PROBATION
. AFTER PROMISING TO BE BETTER
Thirty-five boyz of varying age* and
color who have for months felt the
cord* of the law binding their move
menti, were set at liberty Saturday
morning after having proven thetr In
tention of reforming. The walla of the
court room at the police atatlon which
have heard *0 many tales of violence
and crime, echoed only the recital of
Juvenile troubles Saturday and words
of good cheer and commehdatlon came
frohi the bench Instead of atern sen
tences for malefactors.
The efficiency of Probation Officer
Gloer and the probation system waa
fully proven when the hlstoity of the
probation boys was . read. It showed
that boys may be led by kfndneae Into
a reform which no harsh Imprisonment
can bring nbout, that Instead of being
trained-into professional criminals by
confinement with 'evil characters they
may be brought to a aense of thetr own
mistaken and led Into making a new
beginning.
, On one aide of the court room eat the
probation boys while on the other were
heir parents and a number of ladles of
the various charitable and religious or
ganisations who have been Interested
n the work. Probation Officer Gloer,
the official who has proven himself the
boys’ friend and whom they have learn
ed to trust Instead of fear, read the
list of those who had shown Improve
ment and were ready to be dismissed.
Recorder Naah Broyles rave each boy
a word nr two of kindly commendation
with advice to continue to be good.
Under the probation system a juve
nile offender Is not confined with com
mon criminals or sent to the stockade
to serve a sentence. He Is turned over
to the probation officer, who takes his
address and requires him to make a
weekly jeport aa to hla habits. No pro
bation boy la permitted to remain Idle.
He must go to school or work. Every
week they call at the offlee of the offi
cer and report that they have been
working all the week nnd are behaving
themselves. And most of them tell th#
truth.- If a probation boy Is arrested
the second time sterner measures are
used and he may be sent to the re
formatory If the. circumstances war
rant It.
The boys ranged from 10 to 14 years,
most of them bright looking little fel
lows. Their crimes varied from theft
to throwing rocks on the street. Four
negro boys were on the list while one
Chinaman answered the roll when his
son’s name was called.
Chinese Boy Goss to Celestial Heme.
George Lee, a young Chinese boy,
was arrested nearly a year ago for car
rying a pistol. Hla father. Sam Sing
Lee, asked permission a few months
ago to send the boy back to China to
school, and this was granted. Sam
Sing Lee thanked the Judge and the
officer smilingly when they scratched
his boy's name from their HsL
Mr. Gloer's report showed that nearly
every boy waa hard at work and wns
being good. They were called up one
by one before Judge Broyles and their
history recited briefly. Some were
amltlng, some were almost crying, but
not one seemed to be afraid of officer
Gloer, and he talked to each of them
as to an old friend.
When Judge Broyles announced that
the boy* would be freed from proba
tion, he made a short address, In which
he dwelt on the evils of cigarette smok
ing and paid especial attention to the
Star theater and Ita reputation as
resort unfit to visit.
"How many of yqu smoke cigar-
ettea?" asked the judge. “Be honest
now.”
Five hands went up. There were
several faces which looked ashamed.
"How many of you go to the Star
theater?" asked Judge Broyles. Only
one hand was raised.
'Those are two bad habits,” contin
ued the Judge, "but going to the Star
Is the worst. No decent woman ever
goes there and no boy should go where
he would be ashamed to nee "

refrained from making any promises
about the Star theater, but most of
them appeared willing to try their best.
Probation Officer Gloer made a short
talk.
"We have been honest with you,

ed permission to meet at the court
house," explained Clerk Henry W.
Wood, of the county commlsloners. In
regard to a Socialist meeting which
was not held Friday evening. The So
cialists had arranged to hold a meeting
to protest against the Incarceration of
their blind leader and gubernatorial j
candidate, J. B. Osborne, for speaking
on the street without a license.
They gathered at the court house
Friday evening with the Intention of
holding their meeting In one of 'the
court rooms. But the watchman
wouldn't let them In because he had
not been told to. Mr. Wood hnd failed
to give him Instructions to permit the
meeting.
And now the Socialists are complain
ing that they -were discriminated
against because people Insist on asso
ciating Socialism with anarchy. The
Socialists had made preparations to
hold the meeting and had distributed
hand bills over the city announcing Its
object.
After waiting and talking the matter
over for about half an hour, the little
group which had gathered broke up
with the idea that they had been dis
criminated against nnd neglected. Mr.
Wood said this morning, however, that
It waa simply a case of forgetting and
his action was In no way meant aa a
alight.
