POLICE BOARD TO
PROBE WOMAN’S
IIICE CHARGE
t-
Will Ask Mrs. Barnett to Ap
pear and Tell of ‘Protection’
by Atlanta Sleuths.
Mrs. Hittie Barnett. Atlanta’s woman
detective, will be formally requested to
appear before the police commission at
its next meeting and tell "all site knows"
about protection of vice in Atlanta by
'unlicensed private detectives. This ac
tion grows out of the recent sensational
statements made by Mrs. Barnett to
Police Chief Beavers.
Some of the police commissioners
/have been in conference since the wom
,'nn 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
hett to impart to the commission any
information she may possess.
"This idea of vice being protected in
Atlanta is a serious matter, und we
want to get at the very bottom of it
and ascertain the truth." said the com
missioner.
Board Seeks Light.
He also announced that, in addition
to Mrs. Barnett, the police commission.
ejß are anxious to hear from any one
official or private citizen —who may be
able to throw light on the vice situa
tion here.
“We want to hear freim anyone who
can enlighten us on crwtkednaas con
erning vice in Atlanta,” said the com
ftrtssloner. “Should any person know
anything along this line and not wish
to appear before the commission, we
would be glad if ho or she would write
to any one of the commissioners. The
addresses of all 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 Mbs. Barnett will appear before
the commission at the next, meeting,
however, is doubtful. When asked to
' day if she would comply with the re
-1 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 ttie
■ meeting. She expressed a perfect tyil
i llngness, however, to go before the com
‘ mission and make a statement on her
return.
Willing To Appear.
' She reiterated her statement that she
"knows what she is talking about.”
“1 am willing and will be glad of an
: opportunity to appear before the police
• commission, frankly state thy position,
, and give any information 1 can. but I
doubt whether 1 will he in the city at
the next regular meeting." she Baid. “J
am making preparations now to go
away on a vacation. and expect to
leave within the next three or four
days. I have not had a vacation in
nine years, and feel that 1 need a rest.
If 1 should not get back before the
next meeting. I will appear ijefore the
commission at the following meeting, if
it is desired lam satisfied I can tell
the commissioners enough to warrant a
thorough investigation.” •
In the light of Mrs Barnett's
lingn ■ ■ >efor< the commit
sion and the fact that she voluntarily!
laid her charges before Chief Beavers
and also Chief of Detectives Danford.
it is not likely that she will be served
with a subpena. She will merely be
verbally invited to appear before the
commission.

JOHNSTON HITS
TOLITIWING'
He Says He'll Fight It if Elected
Mayor of Atlanta—Street
Conditions Denounced.
The quietest mayor’s race Atlanta
has known for many years was enliv
ened a bit today by the announcement
of the platform of Steve R. Johnston,
former councilman.
Mr. Johnston declares that every cit
izen of Atlanta knows there exists here
a political clique.
“It is commonly referred to as a
ring," he says. “This ring, through
certain combinations, shrewd manipu
lations and secret caucuses, has grown
more powerful year by year, until today
it is a menace to the city. It is but a
short step from ring domination to boss
rule. Graft and corruption are hand
maidens of boss rule.
"I 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 what
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
park. The trouble, he points out, is not
the construction department, but a lack
of system, and the fact that the work is
“doled out as political sop to satisfy
the councilmen 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
DENVER, 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 hero 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
nor remove the social evil, segregation
can not do so. This latter is not only
repugnant to the moral sense of right
thinking persons, but at best is nothing
more than a poor palliative."

Atlanta Editor One of the First
to Answer Soda-Clerk-and-
Change Problem.
Atlantans are familiar with the gold
coinage of their country, to judge from
the Hood of answers which piled in
within an hour after the Krazy Kat
Kwestion in yesterday's first edition of
The Georgian reached readers in the
street. There were many who puzzled
over the problem of the soda clerk and
said it "couldn't be •done,” but a lot of
them got the answer after a few mo
ments' hard thinking.
The question was: How could the
soda jerker who had sold a five-cent
diink make change for a flve-dollar
bill when he couldn’t make change for
a one? Why, he took the five, gave the
customer a $2.50 gold piece, a two-dol
lar bill and 45 cents in silver. .
Here are some of the first to answer
the problem correctly:

LOCAL DRUGGIST
MAKES STATEMENT
Says Dodson’s Liver Tone is the Best
Remedy for Constipation and Shirk
ing Liver he has Ever Sold.
Every person who has tried Dodson's
Liver Tone and knows how surely and
gently it starts the liver to working and
relieves biliousness will bear out the
Atlanta druggists in this statement
about Dodson’s Liver Tone.
“It is a purely vegetable liquid, that
entirely takes the place of calomel,
harmless and pleasant to the taste, that
has proven itself the most satisfactory
remedy for a slow-working liver that
most of our customers have ever tried.
A large bottle sells for fifty cents and
we do not hesitate to give the money
back to any person who tries a bottle
on the strength of this statement and
is not satisfied with the result.”
In these days of doubtful medicines
and dangerous drugs, a statement like
the above is a pleasant assurance that
Dodson's Liver Tone is a reliable reme
dy for both children and grown-ups. In
buying a bottle for immediate or future
use, it is well to make sure you are get
ting the genuine Dodson's'Liver Tone
and not some spurious imitation that
has copied our claims, but do not stand
back of their guarantee. You may be
certain of getting the genuine if you
go to any Atlanta druggist for it.

Former Assistant to City Electrician Turner Makes Sen
sational Statement.
TO THE PUBLIC:
As has been previously announced in the city press
I have associated myself on the ticket with Mr,
Aides, who is a candidate for City Electrician. I ] laV( ,
been asked by a number of my friends to-state-niv ]■<...
sons for resigning with Mr. Turner and coimeuting niv
self with Mr. Miles. In order that the public, as well •,<
my personal friends, may be apprised of the true facts 1
deem it wise to make this statement':
Ist. 1 have worked with and under both men anil I
therefore know them thoroughly.
2nd. I was for two years associated with Mr. Fred
Miles while lie was City Electrician. I found him to be a
(‘apable and courteous official, always alive to the inter
est of the public but doing his work in that painstaking
unselfish way that looked to ACHIEVING RESULTS
to all the people RATHER THAN SECURING a lot of
NEWSPAPER NOTORIETY. He attended strictly to
the City’s duties and CARRIED ON NO PRIVATE
OPERATIONS FOR HIMSELF. He had no conneetion
with any institution which could PROFIT BY THE
SALE OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES OR ELEC
TRICAL EQUIPMENT to the city or in the city. He
was JUST AND FAIR to those who worked with him,
to the whole city,'and to every business interest of the
city. He required conformity to the law from all par
ties alike. He did not use 1 his position as a city officer to
punish his enemies or reward his friends. But without
■fear or favor required compliance-to the City's regula
tions. lie secured more IMPROVEMENTS AND CON
CESSIONS THAT WERE OF REAL PROFIT TO THE
PUBLIC and to private consumers 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 and for a
man of this character.
3rd. For the past two years I have been in the biffice
with Mr. R. C. Turner. The work with him. or under
him, is not satisfactory. HE IS NOT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN. He permits foreign contractors to do"
work in the city WITHOUT A LICENSE, and approves
their work without requiring a license from tinm. This
is not fail’ to the local contractors. He does work mi lr
private account for individuals outside of the citv FOE
WHICH HE RECEIVES COMPENSATION. wherea>,
HIS WHOLE TIME BELONGS TO THE CITY. For
those he has reason to be friendly* with he 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 publicity and personal advertis
ing, and NEGLECTS THE REAL DUTIES OF HIS OF
FICE. He does not make the City laws applv to all alike,
but EXTENDS CERTAIN PEOPLE PRIVILEGES
that he denies to others under identically the same cir
cumstances. For instance: Ile 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 money; 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
gregation.
These and similar acts 1 believe to be a prostitution
of public office and there can no ultimate credit come t"
me or any one else from a connection with such an ad
ministration. Hence I severed my relations with Mr.
Turner.
As is known to the public, when Mr. Turner and I
ran for the office two years ago a second primary was
required. In order to spare the public this inconven
ience I agreed, under contract with Mr. Turner, that he
should become Citv Electrician and I would be .assistant
in his office, THE INCOME FROM THE TWO POSI
TIONS TO BE EQUALLY DIVIDED BETWEEN US.
Mr. I’urncr has not lived up to this contract with me. B.V
reason of being the electrician he received flic larger
amount in salary, and generally USED HIS OWN GOOD
PLEASURE about when 1 was to receive my part of the
compensation as provided for in the contract. IN FACT.
I HAVE NOT AT THIS TIME RECEIVED THE EN
TIRE AMOUNT DUE ME.
I he foregoing statements touching Mi’. Turner's ad
ministration of office are substantiated bv documentary
evidence which I now hold in my possession.
In conclusion, I wish to say that I will gratefully ap*
preciate the support and influence of the citizens <d U
lanta. 1 tried faithfully to fulfill mv duties under the
conditions to the best of my abilitv, and under the eap< 1 *
Ide headship of M r. Miles I feel safe in pledging the peo
ple ol tlie < ity that they w ill have a smoother, uiu.rc eco
nomical, and more faithful execution <*| their
regulations than lhev have,..had during the past
years. ‘ (Signed) DW. BOWIE
