4 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. BAR HAWAIIAN FRUIT BECAUSE OF FLY PEST WASHINGTON.

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" FOUR MILLS IS THE ROAD TAX IN MONROE COUNTY FORSYTH, GA.

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 i . v< ' ais - ' (Signed) D W BOWIE Sept.
