WOODS WHITE SWS
■ .4
Revelations given by W. Woods
White, wealthy Atlanta philanthro
pist, concerning the alleged presence
in the city of a swarm of bunco
men, and testimony by Chief of Po
lice James L. Beavers were features
of the investigation of the local po
lice department by the board of po
lice commissioners Thursday
Police Chief Beavers was the first
I witness when the special investigat
| ing committee resumed its probe
; Thursday morning. He told the co TV >-
i mittee taht he was' convinced there
| is an organized effort on the part of
■ various elements of citizens to dis
credit the police force.
“Ever since I have been on the
force, this kind of talk has been go
ing on, and it is the same thing in
other cities with which I am ac
quainted.” he said. “It’s an old
method, but a poor one, because it
cannot usually be supported by the
introduction of facts. Furthermore,
any man who slanders another man.
whether he be a policeman of not,
without producing the actual evi
dence of dishonesty, is worse than a
i bootlegger and causes more trouble
in the community.”
Attorney Chambers asked Chief
Beavers what he thought of the boot
leggers employing an attorney to
"get certain policemen with instruc
tions to render the bill when the
officers had been fixed.” Chief Beav
ers replied that this was pretty good
evidence that an organized attack is
now going on.
Conference With White
Chief Beavers then testified con
cerning a conversation he had with
W. Woods White, a prominent At
; lantian, about breaking up gambling
■ and crookedness in Atlanta.
j A few days after Solicitor Boy
j kin’s first gambling raids, said Chief
Beavers, Mr. White asked him to
come to his office, and when he got
there said he wanted two trustworthy
men to work on an .important case.
“Mr. White asked me about my
I best men, and I wrote down four or
: five names. He ran a pencil through
' two of them, saying they wouldn t
do,” said Chief Beavers.
Asked about these names, Chief
Beavers said they were Detective Gil
lespie and Detective O. R. Jones.
“Mr. White said to me that it had
come to him that a lot of officers
were mixed up in crooked work go
ing on in Atlanta. He said he heard
they had been grafting, and he re
ferred particularly to the detective
department. He mentioned the names
of Shaw and Waggoner, and he said
Chief Poole had knowledge of it. but
hadn’t taken any money. He asked
me how long I had known Shaw,
Waggoner and Poole.
Gave Hames of Men
“I told him I had known Shaw and
Waggoner since they had been on
the force, and Chief Poole since he
was a country boy. He asked me
what kind of man Poole was, and I
said, ‘l’d believe him as quickly as
I would you.’ He told me I was sur
rounded by the wrong kind of men.
Then he said he wanted two men
and preferred that nobody in the de
tective department would know about
it. I told him that would be difficult
because the men would be missed.
He asked about uniformed men. I
told him I could let him have two,
but the men in the detective depart
ment had had more experience.
“When he called for the names of
uniformed men, I told him : I had
rather look over the roll, so I went
back to the station house and got
the names of four uniformed men
and four detectives and returned to
his office in thirty minutes. He said
he would select the two names he
would want and would telephone me
when he needed the men, but he
never did call for them. The only
other time he called me was a few
days later when he telephoned about
the gambling investigation and told
me to get my records ready, that
they would have me before the grand
jury, and that he did not want to
see me ‘mixed-up.’ He did call me
four or five days ago to tell me the
same thing about this investigation.”
Thought He Had. Clue
Chief Beavers said he asked Mr.
White right at the first for the
names of the men who gave him in
formation against the detectives, but
Mr. White refused to give them.
Later, he said Mr. White told him
he was helping a lot of ex-convicts
in the federal prison to make their
way in the world.
“What was your opinion—that he
really wanted to get two officers, or
that he was reflecting on the police
department?” asked Aiderman Dave
Wilder. , „
“At first I thought he had a clue,”
answered Chief Beavers, “but later,
when he didn’t call for the men, I
wasn’t so sure.”
Chief Beavers said that Mr. White
told him the crooks were in town
trying to pay Holley to leave the
state so he wouldn’t appear against
Abe Powers. Mr. White told him the
gamblers had been operating here a
long time, said Chief Beavers. The
chief said he wished Mr. White had
told him that before.
“Mr. White told me the ex-con
victs he was helping had given him
a pledge that they wouldn’t allow
the crooks to commit crimes in At
lanta,” continued Chief Beavers.
Active Against Locker Clubs
Declaring Mr. White always had
it. I, too, have used it
to the best of advan
tage for woman’s trou
bles, and when my
own daughter reaches
womanhood I will give
it to her, so firm is my
i conviction of its many
virtues. The purpose
' of my using it, was for
irregularity. My physi
cal condition was very
much run-down did
not care much to stir
about or work. I took

Just for variety, maniknd is ousted from the Honor Column
today. A remarkable horse out at Berkeley, Cal., is introduced.
“Alice,” a plain sorrel mare, owned by Miss Margaret Williams,

into diphtheria serum at a laboratory here. The horse is carefully
fed and watched at all times.
borne the refutation of a man who
devoted time and money to good
works, and stating that he thought
Mr, White’s interest in the ex-con
victs was admirable. Chief Beavers
went on to sav that Mr. White had
been active some years ago in try
ing to abolish the locker clubs. He
said Mr. White hired a detective to
get evidence against the clubs.
Asked about Mr. White’s state
ment that sixty crooks came to At
lanta at one time and registered at
35 1-2 South Broad street, Chief
Beavers said that might have been
possible without the police know
ing anything about it.
Chairman Hatcher remarked that
he had visited 35 1-2 South Broad
Since the gambling raids and it was
highly improbable that sixty men
could get in the room all at once.
“Don’t you think it was Mr.
White’s duty to report it to the
police when he knew the gamblers
were here?.” the chief was asked.
"I do.” he said.
"If a hundred and fifteen bunco
men were here, they'd have to do
a great deal of buncoing to get a
profit, wouldn’t they” asked a mem
ber of the committee.
“They would that, even to make a
living.” replied the cb’ef.
Other Swindles Recalled
Chief Beavers said the recent
swindling episodes were not the first
that have happened in Atlanta. He
described an occasion a year and a
half ago when the detectives had a
man indicted for a similar swindling
scheme. "They never did get the
man because he could not be extra*
dited.’ said the chief. “Solicitor
Boykin refused to furnish the money
to pay a man’s expenses to go and
get him at that time.” he asserted.
I.arge Swindles Rare
Chief Beavers was asked why the
previous raids by the detective de
partment did not have the effect of
breaking up the gambling houses and
why they had kept running until So
licitor Boykin’s activities began.
‘‘Because,” replied the chief, “they
had to be convicted of gambling and
we had to catch them again and
again before we finally could cut
them off. We can’t simply close up
a house. The matter must go
through the courts, and the place
must be declared a ‘dive’ before we
can nail the doors.”
Chief Beavers said it was very
rare for such large swindles as the
recent ones to be operated. He said
that a man who lost that much mon
ey would not think too much of his
reputation to say something about
it.
Chief Beavers told of a raid some
years ago on a gambling game in a
local office building, where an At
lanta man vyas said to have lost $40,-
000. He said the game was more or
less a bucket-shop swindle, and had
been turned over to the solicitor. He
said he never knew what became of
it.
Chairman Hatcher then began to
quizz Chief Beavers as to his knowl
edge of the men on the police force
who have been criticized. He brought
out from the chief that Chief Poole
receives a monthly salary of $225,
and that Lieutenants Shaw and Wag
goner each are paid $l5O per month.
Hatcher Explains
The chief said none of these men
appeared to be living beyond their
means. He said one or two of them
had recently purchased small homes
on the intallment plan, but that this
was quite a common practice among
people earning similar salaries.
“I have known Detective Shaw a
long time,” said Chief Beavers. “He
and I were born in the same county.”
Mr. Chambers remarked that he
also was born in that county, and Mr.
Hatcher said: “Please don’t dis
credit the officers, Mr. Chambers.”
Mr. Hatcher then explained that
his anxiety to discover the present
mode of living of the heads of the
detective department had been
prompted by a desire to get at cer
tain facts.
"What I want to show,” he said,
“is that, if the men on the detective
force are getting money for pro
tection to criminals, their superiors
would certainly learn of it, and if
they learned of it, it would be their
duty to report it. Should they- not
report it, it may be inferred that they
are getting some of it. If they are
'‘in it.’ they must either have it or be
spending it.”
Children Hurt in

As a result of an auto accident Sun
day afternoon on a crossing over the
Piedmont and Northern tracks, fif
teen miles above Greenwood, two
boys about sixteen years old, Pat
Brissie and Will McKee, are in the
hospital, not seriously in
jured, however One of them is suf

being well shaken up. The car had
seven children in it. and as it ap
proached the crossing the bumper
was caught by the trolley and thrust
to one side, completely demolishing
the machine. The marvel is that the
children were not all killed.

$7,000 WORTH OF
POTATOES SOLD
FROM 7 ACRES
AMERICUS. Ga.—Seven thousand
dollars worth of sweet potatoes pro
duced on seven acres of land and
sold for the low price of $1 per
bushel, is the remarkable record ob
tained by W. H. Childers, a Schley
county farmer, living in the Seven
teenth district, near the Sumter
county line. It is believed here that
this yield represents the largest cash
return obtained on a similar acre
age for any crop produced in this
section of Georgia in recent years.
Mir. Childers owns I.JOO acres
near Countyline schoolhouse, where
he operates a fourteen-horse farm,
practically the whole of which is
devoted to diversified agriculture.
Eight acres to the plow was the
allotment Mr. Childers gave last year
to cotton production, onlv fifty bales
of the staple being produced on his
entire plantation. Thirty-one of
these bales, all of them high-grade
staple, he sold at thirty cents a
pound early in the season, and the
remainder is now stored in his
barn, where he will hold it for bet
ter prices.
In addition to his sweet potato
crop, Mr. Childers planted last year
7,000 stalks of seed cane, from
which he saved this fall 10,000 stalks
for 1921 seed purposes, besides mak
ing 800 gallons of first duality sy
rup. Two hundred gallons of this
syrup he sealed in gallon cans, pack
ing the remaining 600 gallons in
thirty-gallon barrels.
He has now ready for slaughter
seventeen head of home-raised hogs,
weighing an average of 250 pounds
each, which he intends to kill at an
early date.
Besides his farming activities, Mr.
Childers takes an active interest in
the civic affairs of his community.
He is a member of the board of trus
tees of public affairs. His home,
which is equipped with rural tele
phone and other modern facilities, is
an up-to-date residence in every re
spect, and as a result of the use of
modern farm implements, the quali
ty of his soil is annually improved.
As a side line, Mrs. Childers main
tains sixty-two thoroughbred hens,
all of them constant layers, besides
several dairy cows which produce
enough milk and butter for the farm
as well as a auantftv which is sold
regularly to Americus consumers.
Sons of Revolution
Plan Re-Internment of
Gen. Elbert’s Remains
SAVANNAH, Ga.. Dec. 16.—Judge
Beverly D. Evans, of Savannah, and
Charles Adamson, of Cedartown,
were Tuesday elected members of
the Sons of the Revolution at a
meeting of the board of managers,
composed of T. P. Ravenel, W. H.
Harden, T. S- Russenn. H. M. King,
W. L. Grayson, Henrv McAlpin, H.
S. Colding. and W. R. Swartout.
The question of re-interring the
remains of General Samuel Elbert,
of Revolutionary fame, which, are
now being kept at the office of the
treasurer of Chatham county, was
considered by the managerial board
at the meeting Tuesday. The remains
of the distinguished warrior were
disinterred about one year ago and
placed in the care of W. H. Har
den, the secretary of the Sons of
the Revolution. The general died
in 17S8 and was buried at Rae’s
hill, three miles from Savannah,
and the disinterment of his remains
followed an investigation by the
Sons of the Revolution.
The grave was discovered recently
and assigned to the care of R. J.
Travis until the organisation makes
a decision concerning the reinter
ment of the remains. The Daugh
ters of the Revolution have offer
ed their services to aid in the cere
monies. Elbert county Georgia
bears the name of the colonial sol
dier, who with Lachlan Mclntosh
was one of the two brigadier gen
erals from Georgia in the Revolu
tionary war.
Chattooga County Streams
Overflow Their Banks
SUMMERVILLE, Ga., Dec. 16
The heavy rains, which began here
Sunday night and continued until a
late hour Monday night, caused the
streams to overflow their banks, the
Chattooga river reaching its highest
stage of the year. The Chattooga
River Power company’s plant at Ly
erly was put out of commission at
noon Monday and Lyerly was without
lights or power for several hours.
Travel was suspended on either side
of the river, the rural mail carriers
being unable to deliver the mails
on their routes owing to the high
water. Public roads were badly dam
aged and are almost impassable in
many places.
Good Christmas Trade
GREENWOOD. S. C.. Dec. 16.
Business is unusually good in Green
wood as the holidays approach. There
was a very large crowd of shoppers
in the city Saturday and the mer
chants were highly pleased with
trade conditions. The prospects for
a heavy Christmas trade seem as
bright as they did last season.
OPPOSITIDNTOENTIIY
OFU.S.INTOIME
IS FASTJDLLAPSINB
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Lensed Wire Strvlce to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
MARION, 0., Dec. 16.—The col
lapse of "irreconcilable” opposition
to the entry of America into a league
or an association of nations is plain
ly indicated by the Marion confer
ence thus far.
That the United States must take
up its share of the burden of stab
ilizing the world, that the United
States cannot stand alone in splendid
or any other sort of isolation, and
that the United States must find a
way to reassert its moral leadership
of both western and eastern hemis
pheres, is agreed by all who have
come to Marion.
The visit of Senator Albert B,
Fall, of New Mexico, a real “irre
concilable” of the senate, has been
most illuminating. Senator Fall con
tends he still is “irreconcilable,” but
| he finds his mind running along very
I nicely with Mr. Harding’s just at
this time, and he sees no reason why
! the United States should not co
| operate with Europe, provided al
i ways that congress doep not dele
gate its powers to America’s repre
sentatives in a league or association
of nations.
Some of those who talked with
Senator Fall, while he was in Ma
rion, thought he wanted to convey
the impression that Senator Harding
had come around to his way of think
ing, but when the senator fiom New
Mexico was pinned down on the
point, he said Mr. Harding’s views
had been made clear during the cam
paign and he would not seek to state
them. He added, however, that Sen
ator Harding unquestionably was
proceeding in the right direction.
Opposition Breaking
Senator Fall’s ready agreement
with Senator Harding on the neces
sity of the United States co-operat
ing with Europe in a new associa
tion of nations has led to the con
clusion here that when he presents
his plan the new president will have
almost the solid support of his party
in the senate.
There is a further feeling here
that in the end the irreconcilable
opposition may be reduced to Sena
tors Johnson. of California, and
Borah, of Idaho. Even Senator
Johnson said during the campaign
that he favored an international
forum, or something of that sort.
Senator Borah, however, is commit
ted against any league, any associa
tion, or combination of nations
which involves or implies political
alliance. He believes America should
stand aloof from all agreements
which might be construed as hav
ing political significance. . ,
Like Senator Fal’l. manv of the ir
reconcilables of the senate are close
personal friends of Senator Hard
ing and from the attitude taken by
Mr. Fall it is assumed they are not
going to attempt to embarrass him
in any way in the negotiation of the
new international understandings
after he goes into the White House.
Nor is there to be irreconcilable
objection, it seems, to basing the
new association of nations upon the
framework of the covenant of Ver
sailles. There is no letup in the
denunciation of the league “as it
now stands.” There are statements
that the present letigue is entirely
unworkable and that the treaty of
peace itself is vipious and altogether
undesirable, but Senator Fall let it
be explicitly understood while nere
that if Senator Harding thought If
best to work out the new associa
r»°n what . ls sood in the so
called Wilson league, there would
be no objection from him or from
the great majority of his associates
in the senate.
To Use Present Machinery
Senator Harding and
Senator Fall, and most of the Repub-
s ’ would like to have the Wilson
stigma entirely wiped away from
the association of nations in which
Amerma is to participate, and efforts
in that direction unquestionably will
be made. But as the machinery for
calling the nations together exists in
the league now functioning at Gene
va, that machinery may be made use
ot, and the same nations which make
up the league may sit about the
table when the new association is
formed, or when the league covenant
is modified to meet the terms Ameri
ca may lay down.
The method of approach to the
nations of the world to join with
the United States is receiving con
sideration at this time. Senator Fall
thinks that the nations of Europe
and of South America should come
to the United States and ask that
this country take the leadership In
the new arrangement. He thinks the
nations should Invite themselves to
a conference to be held in Washing
ton and he feels that the desire of
the rest of the world to have the
United States co-operate is so great
that the other nations will not hesi
tate to take this course.
Senator Fail does not profess to
speak for Senator Harding on this,
but he is known as one of the closest
men, politically and socially, to the
president-elect. Furthermore. he
made his statements on this subject
in the presence of the president-elect.
It is Mr. Fall’s idea that the United
States has an opportunity to assume
the leadership of the world once
more, and the best way to make this
leadership both apparent and para
mount is to have the other nations
come to us for guidance and direc
tion.
Harvey Capitulates
Lord Robert Cecil, at Geneva, some
time ago, gave out an interview in
which he said the other nations
would not come to Washington on a
mission of this sort. Mr. Fall thinks
differently.
"Do you expect France or England
to take the lead in inviting them
selves to a new conference at Wash
ington?” I asked the senator from
New Mexico.
“Maybe the league will taka
the initiative itself,” he replied.
Mr. Fall believes Europe generally
is disgusted with the treaty of Ver
sailles and he predicts that new ne
gotiations will be opened between
England and France and Germany
within a very short time. Mr. Fall,
as a member of the senate foreign
relations committee, may have infor
mation of which the public is not
cognizant.
The .important thing is that it now
is certain the United States is going
to co-operate with the rest of the
world in some sort of a big interna
tional agreement.
Senator Fall, expressing his own
irreconcilable view, says nevertheless
that he is not averse to yielding a
measure of American sovereignty
“under proper safeguards.” This is
going a long way for an irreconcila
ble and it spells much for the suc
cess of the president-elect in putting
his plans through the senate when
ever they may be ready for submis
sion to that body.
Colonel George Harvey, another ir
reconcilable. but not in the senate,
has left Marion after a long stop
with Senator Harding, and he. too,
has surrendered to the “new associa
tion” plan. ___

LOUISVILLiE, Ky.—Given the right
to choose between two women seek
ing his custody, three-year-old John
B. Hood chose to remain with Mrs.
Willie Catanzaro, 946 South Fifth
street, in preference to Mrs. Julia
A. Hood, who insists she is the moth
er and who instituted habeas corpus
proceedings to obtain possession of
the boy.
After hearing evidence and argu
ment of counsel Judge W. H. Field
said he would be guided wholly hy
the wishes of the boy.
Tho lad was taken into an anti
room where he would not be under
the influence of either and told
Judge Field it was his wish to re

time, as Mrs. Catanzaro had been a
mother to him.

Judge Field said the boy had been
very emphatic in making his choice
and did not even hesitate.
