In a conference with chief Cummings, several of the property owners frankly expressed themselves in this way and vigorously protested against what they termed "needless agitation" Chief Cummings merely cited them to the law and informed them they would have to get busy and comply with its terms or take the penalty. Chief Cummings today admitted many property owners are up in arms, but asserted the crusade for tire pre vention will go on just the same. Must Be Protected. "With the present perilous conditions existing in Atlanta kicking will do no good" declared the chief. "These 10.- Ooii toiling girls are In dally danger from tile ind they must protected The tile laws ate ample to protect them, and must be enforced. That's all there is Io it." > The chief declared the inspection of Hie downtown factory lofts and other buildings where girls are employed, is progressing' steadily, and that notit es are being served on the ow ners Io com ply with tin law by Installing the auto malic sprinkler service. All owners who refits, to obey the noti.es, he says, will be arraigned before the recorder and vigorously prosecuted. The declaration of the complaining owner- that the law is a hardship is taken to mean that the law will be detied ami the whole mat ter tested in the courts. Chief Cummings says he has been widely congratulated by business peo ple and others since the present fire war i ommem eif. ami Is being urged on all sides to protect the thousands of working girls. He also has received letters from a number of prominent business concerns, which have installed the sprinkler system, commending It. The chief declares it is the greatest method of fire prevention in existence In the country today. Hr also urges that it is a splendid investment as it saves thousands of dollars in insur ance. Aids in Getting Insurance. G. ('. Jones, vice president and treas ure, of tile J. M. High Company, has sent a lette.r to Chief Cummings, in w hlch he said : "Before we installed this system we had considerable trouble in getting . nough site insurance from reputable companies. Very few of them would place over $5,000 on our risk. There to, e we were forced to place eonsidet able insurance with companies whose stability was not well established. Now a number of these larger companies have increased their line from $5,000 to $50,000 In addition to the financial side of this ptoposition. we have a felling of security, as we know it is hardly possible to have a tire that would materially Interrupt our busi ness nr entail loss of life." M Rich & Bros. Company wrote: We installed our sprinkle, system about five years ago. ami have since then saved quite a sum In excess of lite cost of the installation by reduc tion in ou file insurance rate, which we received by reason of this installa t ion." Hii-sch Bros. Place Contract. Hirsch Bros said they have jus. placed a eonttaet for the sprinkler sys tem nt a cost of $6,700. and added.

It start ed out to take better care of its poor and dependent citizens, and put Itself on record once and final ly against the soliciting of alms on the street. Such soliciting Is now, and has been for many years, un lawful. Not Intended For Mendicants. There is. however a provision allowing licenses to be issued to make music on the streets. This was never intended to apply to mendicants, but has of late been frequently used by many such who make the so-called music, not as WOTHERSPOON’S NAME IS SENT TO THE SENATE WASHINGTON, June 28.—President Taft late yesterday sent to the senate nominations of Brigadier General W.

MOTHIn DEFENDS ERfINK M'DDNALD Parent Grief-Stricken as She Visits Son in Jail—Robert Stevens Improves. Mrs Mary McDonald, 597 Marietta i Street, widowed mother of Frank Me- < I Donald, held at the police station ac | .-used of cutting Robert L. Stevens on ■ Tuesday night, docs not believe het son > • guilty. Bowed with grief over her son's ar rest. Mrs. McDonald called at police headquarters today to see him. and there was an affecting scene. As the mother was led down tfce prison corri dor "to the cell occupied by her son. her faltered. As she reached McDon ald's cell she threw her aims about her son’s neck, hugged and kissed him. Then the teats began to stream down the old mother’s face. Overcome with emotion, the son wept also. "I don't believe Frank is guilty of what they accuse him.” said Mrs. Mc- Donald between her sobs. "He has al ways been a good boy and has helped ms. to raise my other children. Every week he brought home his salary and gave me the most of it to help keep up the family. He has never been in any trouble before. He didn't do it. I know he didn’t do it.” The mother was led hack to the ser geant’s office, where she remained a few minutes until she could compose herself Them she returned to, her home. McDonald'S hearing has not been set pending the outcome of Stevens’ wounds. At Grady hospital today it was stated Uiat Stevens had a reasons - bly good night and showed slight im provement over yesterday, but that bis condition still is precarious.

Tapers will be sent to the senate next Monday MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 3 “The Houses in Our Midst” • - SEGREGATION A FAILURE IT DOES NOT SEGREGATE In Atlanta, the tree of heaven, whivh offends the nostrils, is re moved from our back yards and alleys by order of the Board of Health. But the spread of the houses in our midst, the root of the evil deriv ing life from the seduction of girls and producing a harvest of blind eyes for innocent children and broken health and hearts for blameless wives— this is classed with the increase of banks and business enterprise as an evidence of our city’s growth. A Madame says tln i houses in Manhattan Avenue, or Mechanics street— where a few weeks ago a man was killed in a drunken brawl— are better managed Ilian those in other cities. Doubtless the same experienced judge would consent to select a com mittee of citizens, Io whom should be intrusted the selection of the pure girls to be betrayed to make fallen women the stock in tradfe of the houses in our midst, these so well conducted Imuses in our segregated district. This district of which our disinterested critic speaks so highly has demonstrated that segregation does not segregate. Witness the presence of forty-four houses and the social evil in many hotels and assignation houses in our city. Our experience is identical with that of other cities which have tried this system that even Berlin, Paris and Vienna with legalized prostitution will not attempt. Toledo and Cleveland are usually referred to as models of segrega tion; yet their chiefs of police advised the Minneapolis N ice Commission not to establish a Red Light District. The evidence before that commission showed that, despite segrega tion, assignation houses arc in operation in (’leveland and “wpmen of shady reputation are scattered through the city in flats and other places.” The assistant chief of police of Des Moines made the following state ment: “In the days of the ‘Red Light" district, when it was commonly believed that lewd women were segregated, not more than 15 per cent of the traffic was really carried on in the district. Everywhere in the city were disorderly houses. It was impossible to control them.” Cincinnati has the segregated district. With reference to it. the fol lowing appears in the report of the Vice Commission of Minneapolis: “The resiilt has been that all kinds of degradation have developed with in the so-calbd ‘Red Light District." and women and men have been al lowed to conduct houses of assignation all over the city. ‘The white slaver’ has his headquarters in the most select neighborhoods; and the best restaurants, places of amusement, and even schools and conservato ries have been hunting grounds of the procuresses.” Sunday, go to the House of God. Hear His Word. Then think of the houses in our midst and ask not man. but your conscience in the light, of the teachings of Jesus Christ what you as a citizen sharing your city’s shame should do with reference to this unspeakable commerce in the souls and bodies of women!
