H Atlanta today discussed but one topic—the order of Chief .lames
H I. Beavers closing the resorts in the restricted districts. D.evelop-
B nr Hi - have followed thick and fast since The Georgian yesterday aft-
Bl i riieoit announced that the places were being closed by the chief.
B The suicide today of a woman inmate of the district was the most
B dr naiie incident of the new regime. This unfortunate, ordered out
Bl oi h< house, slashed herself to death with a knife. ”1 have nothing

B I aie this afternoon the police declared that they had evident

B| eulri ihe house shortly after is being sought.
B Mayor Courtland S. Winn and (’hairman Carlos Mason, of the
Bl p'lii i-ommission. say they were surprised at Chief Beavers' act.
B Ai'iiiier was consulted by the chief, but they will give him support in
B ' idont sincere desire to rid Atlanta of vice.

Bl lb d ’hotels’’ which are in reality immoral resorts. Two men

B Atlanta politicians were dazed. Ihe order by Chief Beavers ex-

"Chief Beavers has made the great
est display of nerve, backbone and
courage ever shown here by a city of
ficial.” today is the opinion of Chair
man Carlos Mason of the police com
mission. in speaking of the action of
the chief yesterday in suddenly swoop
ing down on the tenderloin district and
virtually wiping it off the city map.
“The chief worked this whole thing
out in his own mind, and then did what
he thought to be his duty, without con
sulting any other official or organiza
tion of any kind. His action is strik
ingly remarkable in this respect. He
never informed any member of the po
lice commission of his plans, and re
ceived no instructions from the, com
missioners. either individually or as an
official body. What he did was done
at the dictation of his own conscience.
He has shown himself a man of un
questioned bravery and courage."
And then Chairman Mason added:
Chief 's Move Was
Surprise to All.
"Some time ago the police commis
sion voted that chief of police
shpuld be chief in fact as well as name.
That Chief Beavers is making good as
a real chief there is no question His
single-handed extermination of the ten
derloin demonstrates it thoroughly.’’

MTS PAHDON
DF STRIPLING TO
BECOME BRIDE
Governor Joseph M. Brown again
has been petitioned to pardon Thomas
Edgar Stripling, convicted, escaped and
recaptured murderer in Georgia, some
time chief of police of Danville, Va.,
and now confined in the state peniten
tiary for life in expatiation of his crime.
This time the petition cornea not in
the form of a voluminous roll backed
by scores of signatures, legal pleas,
and all of that.
The last Stripling petition filed with
the governor came in today’s mail, and
it is signed by one name only, and the
only plea that accompanies It is one
invoked in the name of the little winged
god of Love.
E. T. Youngblood, writing from Tal
lulah Falls, implores the governor to
pardon Stripling, not alone for Strip
lings sake and the happiness of his
family, but in order that he —Young-
blood-may claim as a bride Stripling's
daughter, Ruth May, who has promised
to be Youngblood's wife, but who, un
der former promise to her father, will
not wed so long as he wears the stripes
of a felon.

HOPEIRWINTRIES
TO KILL WIFE,
SLAYS SELF
After injuring the skull of his wife
with a baseball bat, Hope Irwin, a
prominent young man of Marietta and
the son of R. C. Irwin, insurance clerk
in the office of the state comptroller,
stood before the mirror of the dresser
in his bed room this morning at 2:30
o’clock and cut his throat from ear to
ear with a razor The moon gave the
only light by which he worked.
The wife is lying dangerously
wounded at the home of a neighbor,
Mrs. tV. D. Aderhold, this afternoon.
She regained consciousness only a short
while ago. Four little children are be
ing cared for by relatives. One of the
younger ones was in the room when
the tragedy occurred.
The only explanation for the catas
trophe is Insanity. Irwin and his wife
had been married for ten years. They
always appeared happy. The only ir
regularity In their lives was intermit
tent attacks of epilepsy he suffered.
At 2:30 o’clock Mrs. Irwin was
awakened by a heavy blow on the
head. In the moonlight she could see
her husband swinging at her with a
club which proved to be a baseball bat
belonging to one of the children.
She attempted to escape from him,
but he continued to club her, finally
breaking the bat into pieces; but not
until after her head had been crushed.
She rushed out Into the night clad
only in her bed clothes, screaming for
help. IV. P. Jones, a next door neigh
bor, heard her appeal and rushed to
the rescue. He found her In her yard,
blood from her wounds mingling with
her streaming hair,

they hold they have was regarded as
®ecure enough to go ahead with the

Rule To Stop
Ticket Speculation.
The National committee decided that
each ball club would handle the sale
of tickets for the games in their own
city. Onlj the upper tier of grand
stand seats, accommodating approxl

tile American league during the series
and R’gler and Klem will officiate for
the Nationals.
