We gathered Into this building the women and children who desired pro tection and shelter. From Saturday night to last night, Inclusive, I have been busily engaged in furnishing sleeping quarters and shelter to af frighted women and children. We have no saloons In this community. We had no firing on our grounds. The few students here for the summer were orderly and within doors. We used our influence to keep order and peace. Dr. Crogman and myself have been counseling order and peace, and we are gladAo report that up to this hour there baa been no disposition tow violence here. We»all agree with you that We held a meeting of the few per* n .our grounds Ing resolutions: Resolutions Passed. Resolved,-That as residents of South Atlanta and as dwellers .on the campu- of these two Institutions, we doph.n- all crime and believe In the punish ment of the same. • That, as formerly, we stand with the representatives of peace and good gov ernment In preserving peace. That we record our unqualified dis approval and condemnation of the tak ing of the lives of the officers of the law. That we place ourselves upon record as condemning all attempts to break the law and we also afflrm # lt as pur unqualified opinion that crime should be punished; that we believe in the purity of the home and that who so violates that sanctity and purity is an enemy to society. Is in league with hell and should receive not pity or sympathy, but that measure of the law that sends him to the bar of God to answer for his unnamable crime. (Signed for our meeting)- J. W. E.
