GAMINS
Citizens and Probation Officer
Will Ask Council to Revive
Old Ordinance.
The curfew law is to be revived in
Atlanta to rid the streets of wander
ing boys and girls fond of late hours.

in the Federation of Jewish Societies,
will submit data for the required ordi
nance to City Attorney Matson. It is
expected that the ordinance will be
drawn for presentation to the council
at its next meetins.
The new law will require that good
little boys and girls—ami bad ones—be
abed by 9 o'clock A night prowl around
the streets of Atlanta showed so many
youngsters keeping owl-like hours that
hurry-up action was decided upon.
The investigators had long talks with
newsboys and other youngsters, and
collected a mass of information. In
many instances conditions at home were
blamed for the youngsters being out. It
was found also that many newsboys
spent the earlier hours of the evening
at moving picture shows.
The investigators were amazed to
find a number of little girls among the
late wanderers.
A conference was held, as a result of
this investigation, between Mr. Jacobs.
Mr. Hyman and Probation Officer Tin
dall. The age of children to be af
fected by the new Ifew was not decided
upon, but the hour will be 9 o'clock. It
was proposed that parents who allowed
children to be out later khan that be
penalized. The movement has strong
backing.

District Attorney Now Arrang
ing Evidence Against the
Indicted Policeman.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21.—District At
torney Whitman spent most of his time
today in arranging his evidence for the
trial of Lieutenant Charles Becker, who,
with six others, was indicted f<fr the
murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal.
Becker will be the first of those in
dicted to be placed on trial.
The district attorney also was inter
ested in a dispatch from Detroit which
stated that another Rosenthal suspect,
believed to be either "Gyp the Blood"
Horowitz or "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg,
was under arrest there. When arrested,
the Detroit prisoner hart in his pos
session many newspaper clippings re
lating to the Rosenthal case.
A thorough investigation of charges
of graft in connection with the Rosen
thal case will be started early in Sep
tember. when Supreme Court Justice
John W. Goff opens an extraordinary
term of the supreme court.
According to the plans of Justice Goff
and District Attorney Whitman today,
a sweeping "John Doe" graft investiga
tion will be smarted at the beginning of
the session. At the end of the second
week the Inquiry will probably be sus
pended so that one of the alleged mur
derers can be placed on trial for his
life.
Seelig Rounded Up
Gang For Killing.
Testimony is said to have been given
the grand jury that it was “Big,Jack”
Seelig who secured the paid killers for
Becker when the latter concocted his
attack in the plot to put Rosenthal out
of the way. Harry Horowitz, "Lefty'
Louie," Jack Sullivan and "Dago Frank"
Cirofici were rounded up and taken to
a Rockaway Beach hotel a week be
fore Rosenthal was killed. All were
well supplied with money, and were ap
parently being held until a chance of
fered to "get" Rosenthal.
Samuel Spielberger. clerk of the ho
tel. according to this report, told the
gland jury that the party spent the
time apparently waiting for a message
from New York.
Becker Denies
"Frame-Up” on Seelig.
Two members of Police Lieutenant
Chafles Becker's strong arm squad are
expected to be Indicted by the New
York county grand jury tomorrow for
"manufacturing" evidence against See
iig.
Lieutenant Becket was taken to the
court of general sessions from the
Tombs today for arraignment before

SLATON LANDSLIDE IS
INDICATED; PENDLETON
AND DORSEY LEADING
Alexander Refuses to Comment on the
Tide of Ballots—Hall Declares He Is
Getting Heavy Vote and Is Confi
dent He \\ ill Beat Atlanta Man.
The state ot Georgia east a heavy vote for governor and state
house officers today, and late reports from all points throughout the
state indicated the accuracy of former forecasts—-the gubernatorial
contest is a runaway for John M. Slaton.
Slaton, in a late statement, says that his vote will he even larger
than anticipated, and that his original estimate of 120 counties, if
anything, too low.
Alexander at 1 o (dock would make no prediction, but said he
had made the best tight he knew how.
Joe Hill Hall, in a wire from Macon, his home, says he is getting
a big vote throughout the state and claims victory.
Reports to The Georgian, from
its various correspondents, hear
out those same correspondents’
former estimates. Gubernatorial
ly, everything seems coming the
Atlanta num’s way.
Pottle Appears To
' Be Defeating Broyles.
Tremendous Interest is being mani
fested in the race for commissioner of
agriculture, the railroad commissioner
ship contests, and the race for the
court of appeals.
In some sections, the interest in the
attorney generalship race, the school
commissioner contest and the prison
commissioner tight is keen, tint, broad
ly -peaking, the state is not concern
ing Itself today acutely with any one
of these disputes.
Present indications are that the race
for commissioner of agriculture is ex
ceedingly close, with little to suggest a
definite conclusion now as to final re
sult.
The present railroad commissioners,
up for re-election seem to be slight
favorites in the reports on that race—-
Gray. Trammell and Hi liver. There is
much room for changes in these indi
cations, however.
Judge Pottle seem- to be decidedly a
favorite over Recorder Broyles for the
succession to the court of appeals bench
and likely will succeed himself safely.
Felder Reported
, Slightly in Lead.
Eelder and Jones ate breaking nearly

Perry is running surprisingly well in

Returns Will Be
Slow to Arrive.
It will require final returns to deter
mine the result between Bartlett ami
Wise, in the Sixth; Crisp and Shaw, in
the Third: Walker and Parker, in the
Eleventh, and Holder, Bell ami Charters
in the Ninth.
The various legislative races through
out the state, coupled with the acute
interest in some of the contests for
stalehouse offices; have served to bring
out a full vote In praeticajly every
county.
The weather generally lias been Ideal,
and if present proportions hold good,
the vote should run well over 150,000

The complete returns likely will bo

counting necessarily will lie slow.
