" z “ ' ~ AL DE MAREE » - -- 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 j cut-out open. Mrs. W. 8. William, ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1912. R. H. E. Crackers 000121 31x- -- - - 813 2 ' Gullso 0000001 2-- ■ - ■ 3 42 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.

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.
