Atlanta, Feb. 20.—The fame ot
Atlanta tor closing up Its restricted
vice district has spread all the way
to San Francisco. Chief of Police
Beavers received a letter from the
San Francisco authorities this morn
ing, announcing that a league In
San Francisco is leading a fight to
close the houses there, Just us they
were closed lu Atlanta, and asking
Chief Beavers for definite Informa
tion regarding the result of the
movement and the present situation.
It seems that the eyes of the
whole country are fixed on Atlanta,
to see what will come of the reform
here. A few papers and periodicals
endorse the movement; a few oth
