The closing «??sion of the Southern

morning with an unprecedentedly large
attendance of delegates, who realized
that the big meeting would determine
upon innovations designed to place the
organization in the front rank of in
stitutions of its kind in the I'nited

gan with a discussion of The Relation
of the Southern Producer to the South
ern Merchant and Manufacturer." He

delegates and was followed by I. N,
Orr, Jr. of Newnan, who advocated a
local association in every town where
there are five or more stores.
H. O. Williford, of Commerce, de
flated the Southern merchants’ need
Is a protective association. He de
clared merchants would never got ben.
eficial laws upon the statute books un
til they voted some of their own trade
into the legislatures and congress.

Hasn't the Day Come When Business
Ils Rigger Than Politics?”
| The election of officers will take

tions drafted by the committee, ap
i pointed yesterday will be considered.

Ponce DeLeon park to attend a big
barbecue in their honor.
Lee Barnes, of the Majestic, will
serve the big barbecue this afternoon,
assuring one that the merchants won't

ATLANTA POLICE HAVE
NOCHANCE FORGRAFT
SYSTEM, SAYS CHIEF
"Could the Rosenthal murder happen
in Atlanta?"
Chief J. L. Beavers, of the Atlanta
police force, leaned back In his chair
and smiled. »
"It’s of course possible for a band of
assassins to organize, lay In wait for a
man. shoot him and evefh obtain tem
po ary freedom, but if you mean to ask
whether the series of circumstances
which led to the Rosenthal murder
tould exist in Atlanta—l say no. em
phatically."
The chief gave several reasons
"In the New York department, if my
information Is correct, the system of
protection to criminals which brought
about the Rosenthal shooting was able
to live on account of three things—a
false idea of loyalty which made honest
officers protect those who were not
honest; secrecy of police records, and
the extension of favors to criminals
who might be useful. None of these
exists or could exist in the Atlanta po
lice force."
Protection Couldn't Exist Here.
The Rosenthal sensation glow's big
ger with each passing day. After the
gambler's death in front of the Metro
pole revelations came thick and fast.
Finally Lieutenant Recker, of the po
lice department, w-as arrested and then
came to light the story of the "system”
which had enabled a man only two de
grees removed from an ordinary police
man to build up a graft institution
feudal in its power.
"I should say.” declared Chief Reav
ers. "that protection could not exist in
Atlanta primarily because there is
nothing to protect. There is no gam
bling here to speak of—but if there
should be and an officer would attempt

“Let us suppose, for Instance, that
Captain B. of the Atlanta police force,
made a deal with certain breakers of
the law whereby he was to receive a
rake-off every month and they were to
be let alone by the police. The rooms
of this fraternity are located on South

"Captain B might be able to keep the

Delegations From Birmingham
and Chattanooga Come to
See Gate City Products.
Today was visitors day at the Mer
chants Exposition in the Auditorium
and every nook and corner of the big
show was crowded. Large delegations
from Birmingham and Chattanoogt
came to see what Atlanta had in the
way of home enterprises and admitted
that the exhibit exceeded anything of
its kind eve> attempted in the South.
The t’hattanoogans came upon two
special trains and were the individual
guests of Atlanta business men
throughout the day. Birmingham sent
more than 50 representatives, all mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce, and
they were entertained in a body by the
local board.
The Atlanta chanjber planned to
greet them upon their arrival at the
Union station with a delegation of 25
local members and escort them to tiie
Capital City club for luncheon. At 3
o’clock they will begin an auto ride
about the city, finally winding up at
the exposition. They will return to
Birmingham upon a special train late
tonight.
John M. Slaton's speech last night
was delivered to an audience that over
flowed the hall. Merchants night had
filled the exposition rooms in itself, bu*
the crowds that heard Mr. Slaton meas
ured up to fully 5,000.
He was interrupted by frequent ap
plause and received a tremendous ova
tion at his conclusion.
