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 the medicine right along without missing a dose until my gen eral troubles were all THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Tri-Weekly Journal's HONOR COLUMN A Department for People Who DO Things A, Igy • f / B|| \ I I s• »S : '~: 'z-J? : £‘? ■■ » - v - - 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, has saved 1,000 children’s lives in the last few years. Every thirty five days two gallons of blood are taken from the horse and made 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 Crossing Accident GREENWOOD, S. C.. Dec. 16. 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 fering from a cut leg. the other from 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. ■ Irish Parish Priest Killed by Armed Men LONDON.

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. ___ Couples Barred On Mixed Jury MONTCLAIR, N. J. —In ordering a mixed jury be impanelled. Judge Harry N. Reeves of the district court ruled that when both man and his wife were drawn, one or the other must be excused. He feared other wise no agreements'would be reach ed. One talesman told the court plain ly that he objected to having his wife locked up all night in a room with men in the event the jury failed to agree. 2,000 Miles Apart; Wedded by Proxy \ -. W j | WASHINGTON. Business de tained Senor Don Manuel C. Tellez, secretary of the Mexican embassy here, on the day set for his mar riage to Dona Emilia Benoit. Au thorization was sent to Mexico City empowering his brother to appear at the altar for him. and under an old Mexican custom the knot was tied while bride and groom were 2,000 miles apart. Two weeks later Senor Tellez met his bride in New York and they have just arrived in Washington. 1920 INCOME TAX $73,000,000 LESS THAN LAST YEAR CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—Income tax returns fell off $73,000,000 this year according to compilations today by the internal revenue office here. More than $10,000,000 was short in the payment of the fourth and last installment of the tax yester day. Pickled Porkers Stage a Party SACRAMENTO, Col.—Prohibition officers swooped down on the Cupich ranch near here and located several dozen sure ‘nough blind pigs in close connection with a 1,000-gallon cache of wine in the barn. The pigfl were blind drunk. The P. Os had bashed in the bar rels with their trusty axes and al lowed the high voltage fluid to drain into the barnyard where the pork ers begin sipping and wallowing in it with grunts of bacchanalian de light.
