RICH CLUB MEN ARE CAUGHT
IN POLICE AUTO WAR NET
Two of Atlanta’s wealthiest young
chibm o ii. Walter < 'andleL son of Asa
G. Candler, and Stewart Witham, son
of AV. S. Witharn, the banker, with
seven yother aufoists and chauffeurs,
will appear before Recorder Broyles
this afternoon to answer to charges of
violating the city automobile ordi
nances.
These eases mark the opening of a
vigorous crusade started by Chief
Beavers against violators of the auto
la u s.
Young Candler is accused of exceed
ing the speed limit as be was driving
out Edgewood avenue on his way to
his home in Inman Park. Policemen
McDaniel Williams and Robertson,
who have been specially detailed by
Chief Beavers to curb speeding auto
ists. made the case. They say Can
dler whizzed through the street at a
lively clip. He was served with a copy
of charges, citing him to appear in po
lice court ihis afternoon. ,
Many Complaints
Made to Chief.
All of the remaining cases, with the
exception of that against young With
am. were made by these same officers
and charge speeding.
The offending autoists are S. E. Bas
sett, 546 Peachtree street; Herbert
Slitzer, 46 Ponce DeLeon avenue; F.
L. Marco. Majestic hotel; E. J. Akridge.
J. G. Burkhardt. 358 Washington street;
O. L. Chafin. 137 Mills street, and John
Griffin, 16 Savannah sireet.
Chief Beavers said today that he
has received many complaints of late
regarding violations of the auto laws,
particularly as to speeding and allow
ing muffler cut-outs to remain open.
“These laws must be enforced, and
it seems that the only way to do this
is to make cases.” said the chief. "Time
and lime again we have warned auto
isLs that these laws must be observed,
but these warnings have been futile.
We don't want to be hard on autoists,
but the safety of pedestrians and of the
autoists themselves demands that the
utmost care be used in the driving of
cars through out crowded streets."
interest centers in the trial of young
Witham, who is accused of interfering
with Policeman Welehel in Peachtree
sireet. In front of the Arngon hotel,
when the officer attempted tn make a
lease against Wifhams negtn chauffeur
j for running tin l n with J■< muffler

mother of the young man. said today
that a number of prominent business
and professional men witnessed the ar
rest and would come to the defense of
her son.
i tfiieer Welehel says Witham openly
defied him and told him he dare not
make a case against the negro chauf
feur. According to the officer, he in
formed young Witham he had better
not interfere, else a case might be
made against him, and that the young
man exclaimed:
"You don’t know who you are talk
ing to; do you? I'm the son of W. S.
Witham, the banker.”
The officer says the young man. after
defying him, leaped out of his car on
the opposite side, and walked into the
Aragon hotel. Welehel followed and
arrested him in the hotel, sending him
to the police station in the patrol. Sev
eral friends of Witharn telephcned to
the station in advance of the patrol,
and after the case against Witham had
been docketed. Ua plain Mayo released
, him on a copy of charges.
Negro Escapes
During Excitement.
When Welehel went back to make a
case 'against the negro chauffeur, he
found him gone. The negro luid driven
away in the excitement of Witham’s
arrest. No case has been made against
the negro so far, but Chief Beavers said
this would be done before court con
venes.
Y’oung Witham was highly indignant
over liis arrest. He denied that his
chauffeur was violating the muffler cut
out ordinance, and said he told the of
ficer the muffler cut-out was not open.
He said the officer appeared much of
fended because he spoke up and threat
ened to arrest him. They then had a ,
few words and the arrest followed.

HE SWAPPED HIS WIFE
FOR BROTHER’S HORSE
LAKEVILLE, MASS.. May 33.
Members of the Jackot colony, poor
whites descended from a Frenchman
who settled here before the revolution,
are indignant over the action of the
state police in preventing the exchange
of the wife of one of the leading Jack
ets for a horse.
The Jackets would rather barter than
eat. A patriarch bad indulged his pro
pensity of swapping until he had noth
ing left but his clothing and his wife.
In exchange for a horse he gave his
wife to nis brother. The horse was
worth $5. Twelve hours later the pa
triarch swapped the horse for another
horse.
His brother took the woman to
Brockton, and his efforts to swap her
for anything of equal value attracted
ibe attention of the polite. They made
the patriarch take his wife back.
