POLICE MD TO
PROBE WIN'S
VICE CHARGE
Will Ask Mrs. Barnett to Ap
pear and Tell of •Protection’
by Atlanta Sleuths.
■Mr.*. H.-ittie Barnett. Atlanta .« woman
'detective, will b« formally requested to
appear before th. polite commission a'
its next meeting and tell “all she knows’’
about protection of vice in Atlanta bv i
unlicensed private detectives This ac
tion grows out of the recent sensational i
statement; mime b\ Mrs. Barnett to
Polio Chief Beavers
Some of the police commissioners!
have been in conference ince the wom
an sleuth's accusations became public,
and one of these officials told a Geor
gian reporter today that Chief Beavers
would be directed to invite Mrs Bar
nett to impart to the commission any
information she may possess.
"This idea of vice being protecteal in
Atlanta is a serious matter, and we
want to get at the very bottom of it
and ascertain the truth." -aid the com
missioner
Board Seeks Light.
He also announced that, in addition
to Mrs. Barnett, the police commission,
ers are anxious to hear from any one— ■
official or private citizen —who may be
able to throw light on the vice.situa*
lion here.
“We want to hear from anyoije who
can enlighten us on crookedm-at con
erning vice in Atlanta." said the com
missioner. "Should any person know
anything along this line and not wish
to appear before the cotngilssion vvr
would be glad if he or she would write
to any one of the commissioners. The
addresses of ail of the commissioners
can be obtained from the office of the
chief of police. What we are after is
light on this subject.—all we can get.'’
This attitude of the commission
promises a lively investigation.
That Mrs. Barnett will appear before
Up commission at the next meeting
however, is doubtful When asked to
day if rhe would comply with the re
quest of the commission, she said she
was already making preparations to
leave the city on a vacation, and would
probably be absent at the time of the
meeting. She expressed a perfect wil
lingness. howfv. r. to go before the com
mission and make a statement on her
'eturn
Wi'ling To Appeal
She reiterated her statement that she
’knows what she is talking about ”
I am wi! ng and w ill be giad of an
opportunitv to appear before the police
oniint- i>." ■’ . n'.-:!v state my position,
end giv. arc. nformation 1 can. but 1
lotibt whethe: I will be in the city at
he n- xt reg a. meeting." she said. “J
im making preparations now to go
iway on a vacation, and expect to
leave within the next three or four
lays. I have not had a vacation in
nine years, and feel that I need a rest.
If I should not get back before the
next meeting. 1 will appear Ijefore the
ontmlssion at the following meeting, f
it is desired I am satisfied 1 can tell
he commissioners enough to warrant a
thorough Investigation." • I
In the light of Mrs. Barnett’s !
lingness to appear before the commit
sion and the fact that she voluntarily!
laid her charges before Chief Beavers
and also Chief of Detectives lacnford.
It is not likely that she will be served
with a suhpena. She will merely be
verbally invited to appear before the
commission.

'JOHNSTON HITS
'POLITICAL RING'
He Says He'll Fight It if Elected
Mayor of Atlanta—Street
Conditions Denounced.
The' quietest mayor’s race Atlanta
l has known fn. many years was cnliv
j eneii a bit today by the announcement
of tlic patfo’in of Sieve R Johnston.
I former councilman.
.dr. Johnston declares that every cit
' iz.tn of Atlanta knows there exists he.c
a political clique
’ll is commonly referred to as al
| ring." he say s “This ring, through
(certain combinations, shrewd inanipu-
I lotions and secret caucuses, has grown
l more powerful year by year, until today
|it is a menace to the city It is but a
siio t step from ring domination to boss
rule Graft and corruption are hand
maidens of boss rule.
"1 have no sympathy for such politi
cal combinations, and, if I am elected
mayor I promise the people of Atlanta
to put an end to this evil."
Mr. Johnston, in his written state
ment. takes up the different branches
of the city government and tells wha’
improvements he thinks are needed.
He declares that the streets of At
lanta are a disgrace to an enterprising
city. He says there are miles of streets
in Atlanta that a wagon can not tra
verse He -ays it is a shame that there
isn't a decently paved -street to Grant
pa k. I'iie trouble, he points out, is not
the construction department, but a lack
of system, and the sac t that the work is
"doled out as political sop to satisfy
the count Ilmen and aidermen from the
various wards."
He wants increased appropriations
for all departments and says that with
proper funds and encouragement the
health department can stamp out tu
berculosis and typhoid fever
DECLARES LAW CAN NOT
COMBAT THE SOCIAL EVIL
DEN\ ER, Sept. 19 —"The scarlet
woman never can be redeemed, and the
problem of the social evil never can
be solved by the enforcement of law."
This statement by Rev. Robert F. Coyle,
a famous Presbyterian pastor, has cre
ated considerable discussion here to
day. Some of the other things the
minister said follow;
"But if force is no remedy, if It can
neither restore the woman to society
not remove the social evil, segregation
can not do so. This latter is not only
repugnant tn the moral sense of right
thinklng persons, but at best is nothing
more than a poor palliative"

HOT CARD FROM BOWIE
Former Assistant to City Electrician Turner Makes Sen
sational Statement.
TO THE PUBLIC:
As has been previously announced in the citv j- tl q
I have associated myself on the ticket with Mr.
Miles, who is a candidate for City Electrician. | b :i ,
been asked by a number of my friends to state mv
sons for resigning with Mr. T'urncr and ronnectint; m\
self with Mr. Miles. In order that the public, as w ( >’|.,.
my personal friends, may be apprised of the true ;
deem it wise to make this statement:
Ist. J have worked with and under both men [
therefore know them thoroughly.
2nd. I was for two years associated with Mi i-
Miles while he was City Electrician. I found him to In
capable and courteous official, always alive to tiv inter
est of the public but doing his work in that painstaking
unselfisji way that loojeed to ACHIEVING RESULTS
to all the people RATHER THAN SECURING a lot
NEWSPAPER NOTORIETY. He attended strictly H
the Citv's duties and CARRIED ON NO PRIVATE
OPERATIONS FOR HIMSELF. He had no comic.-n lir
with anv institution which could PROFIT BY THE
SALE OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES OR ELEC
TRJ.CAL EQUIPMENT to the city or in the citv. ip
was JUST AND FAIR to those who worked with hiin.
to the whole city, and to every business interest of the
city. He required conformity to the law from all i>ar
ties alike. He did not use his position as a city ofheerto
punish his enemies or reward his friends. But without
fear or favor required compliance to the City’s regula
tion.s' He secured more IMPROVEMENTS AND CON
CESSIONS THAT WERE OF REAL PROFIT TO THE
PUBLIC and to private cousumers than any other man
who has served in this office; but he was willing to share
the credit for what he did with the Council and its com
mittees, rather than ascribe the whole credit to himself.
There was real satisfaction in laboring with ami fora
man of this character.
3rd. For the past two years I have been in the office
with Mr. R. C. Turner. 'l'lie work with him. or under
him, is not satisfavtory. HE IS NOT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN. He permit s for-eign contractors to do
work in the city WITHOUT A LICENSE, and approves
their work without requiring a license from them. This
is not fair to tin* local contractors. He dot's work on his
private account for individuals outside of the citv FOR
WHICH HE RECEIVES COMPENSATION, whereas.
HIS WHOLE TIME BELONGS TO THE CITY For
those he has reason to be friendly with lie permits ap
proval on the most casual inspection, and those whom
he dislikes he KEEPS FROM LIKE PRIVILEGES ON
THE BAREST TECHNICALITIES. He is constantly
posing in the press for publicitv and personal advmtis
ing, and NEGLECTS THE REAL DUTIES OF HIS OF
FICE. He does not make the City laws applv to ali alike,
but EXTENDS CERTAIN PEOPLE PRIVILEGES
that he denies to others under identically the same ' ir
cunistances. For instance: He permitted a certain North
side Methodist Church, because requested to do so bv
some influential parties, to DISPENSE WITH IRON
CONDUITS REQUIRED BY CITY ORDINANCE.
. thus saving them a considerable sum of monev; while the
' St. Johns Methodist < ’hurch. on the South side, was rigid
[ ly required to put in iron conduits because there was no
effort made to secure any special privileges for that con-
i gregation.
These and similar acts I believe to be a prostitution
ol public office and there can no ultimate credit conic 1°
me or any one else from a connection with such an a<l
ministration. Hence I severed mv relations with Mr.
Turner.
As is known to the public, when Mr. Turner and 1
ran tor the office two years ago a second primary
required. In order to spare the public this inconven
ience 1 agreed, under contract with Mr. Turner, that he
should bec.ome ( 'itv Electrician and I would be assistant
! in his u fHce. THE INCOME FROM THE TWO POSI
TIONS TO BE EQUALLY DIVIDED BETWEEN US
■ Mr. 1 urner has not lived up to this contract with me. I’. v
reason of being the electrician he received the laigcr
amount in salary, and generally USED HIS OWN GOOD
PLEASURE about when I was to receive mv part "f tl' l
compensation as provided for in the contract. IN FACT.
I HAVE NOT AT THIS TIME RECEIVED THE EN
TIRE AMOUNT DUE ME
I lie foregoing stat aments touching M r. Turner - ad
ministration of office are substantiated bv doeinm iit;H'. v
evidence which I now hold in my possession.
In conclusioii. I wish to say that I will gratefuil.' ap
preciate the support and influence of the citizens M
lanta. I tried faithfully to fulfill mv duties unib i
conditions 1 o the best of my abilitv. and under the capr
Ide headship of Mr. Miles I feel safe hi pledging li" I"' 1
pie of tlie ( ity that they w ill have a smoother, more v' 1 ’
nomieal. and more faithful execution of their eh" !'i'
, legulatioiis than they ha\e had during the past t"''l
