same line as Chairman Mason. !
None of them was aware of the
chief's plans, and all received the sur
prise of their lives when they learned
that lie had suddenly taken the vice
situation in his own official hands and
had done what no other chief of police
had ever dared to do.
In assuming full responsibility for the
Wiping out of the resorts. Chief Beavers
-ays that he had been carefully study
ng over the matter for Home time and
had become convinced to the satisfac
t on of his own mind and conscience
that it was his plain duty to follow the
Jew and close all such places in the
ty
Asked when he definitely decided on,
his plan of action, the chief replied:
Intended to Quit
If He Didn’t Succeed.
"The night previous—Monday night.
I haul weighed all phases of the situa
tion with the utmost care, and came
to the conclusion there was nothing
e ! se for me to do but enforce the law.
When I left home yesterday morning
my mind was fully made up as to all of
the details and I told rnv wife what I
v as going to do.”
The chief paused a moment, and then
■aid:
"Convinced that it was my duty to
close these places, I determined to do
this duty or quit my .lob."
The chief declared he intends to vig
orously enforce the law as to all forms
of vice in Atlanta. Not only does he
intend to exterminate the tenderloin
district itself, but he has formally
opened war on the cheap hotels of the
city that may be conducted In the
manner of illegal houses Much com
plain! has been received by the chief
concerning these places, and he asserts
that they must maintain "a clean bill of
health." In the event evidence is ob
tained against any of these places, he
said, .they will be closed and the pro
prietors prosecuted.
Not to Tolerate
Vice in Hotels.
"We will not tolerate vice in the
hotels of the city." said the chief "We
will keep a watchful eye on these places
and those we find to be operated as an
Illegal house will be given the same
treatment as a regular house in the
tenderloin.”
Chief Beavers said some of the
cheaper hotels are a peril to young
g Is. and that much complaint has been
made to him in this respect.
"I intend to do all 1 can to save the
young girls of the city. We must throw
a protecting arm around them and
shield them from the lure of vice," ho
said.
That Chief Beavers will receive the
backing of police court in his crusade
♦ here Is no question. Just before start
ing out yesterday with Captain Poole
and Policemen McWilliams and W est
to close the tenderloin, the chief held
a conference with Recorder Broyles in
♦he letter’s office in the police station,
explaining to him what he was doing
The chief emerged from the conference
satisfied as to the attitude of the court.
Mayor Winn made this comment on
Police ’ 'hief Beavers* order todav
"There are state and city laws
against such houses. Inasmuch as
Chief Beavers has undertaken to en
force this law it Is the duty of the
police commission to back him up.
"It is my duty as a sworn official to
support him in his efforts to enforce
the law."

Dramatic Suicide
Marks Clean-Up
“This is the end. They have ordered I
i me to close my house, and I have no- <
where to go. I might as- well die. I
Please don't tell my sister anything
i about it."
Thus wrote Nellie Busbee. a woman
I of the restricted district, who early this
i morning, after brooding the nlgnt over
th? sudden closing order of the police.
i went to htr room and plunged the
> - ’
knife into her heart. She died almost
instantly, without outcry.
A negro maid, throwing back the
shutters of the drab little dwelling at 11
o'clock this morning discovered the
body of the woman —a crunjpled heap
in i>ink kimono—lying sprawled across
a lounge in a downstairs room She
had been dead several hours.
Blames Closing Order.
A rambling note, which assigned the
police closing order as the motive for
the deed, and the picture of a middle
aged man were, found clasped in one
hand. The knife with which she. ended
her life was still in the single wound
that accomplished her death. She had
been dead for hours when the body was
discovered.
Vivian Stewart, the only other in
mate of the place, declares that while
the Bttsbee girl had appeared despond
ent over the closing order, she gave ho
intimation of her intention to end her
life.
"She told me last night that all her
troubles came at once.” said the Stuart
girl. "She was mad about a man. and 1
think that worried her, too; but she
told me she didn't know what to do,
now that the houses had been closed."
The Stuart girl said that she went to
bed at 3 o’clock this morning, but Nel-*
lie Busbee had retired an hour or so
earlier. The Stuart girl said that she
heard no outcry during the early hours
of the morning, although she was about
the house at 5 o’clock.
Coroner Paul Donehoo will hold an
inquest at Poole's undertaking estab
lishment at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon.'
Chief Expresses Sorrow.
Chief Beavers, when informed today of !
the suicide of the Busby woman, ex- 1
pressed sympathy for her.
"I am sorry to hear of this woman's
tragic death," said the chief ”1 sympa
thize with the lot of these fallen women.
We are simply striking at an Iniquitous
system—seeking to stop open and flagrant
violations of law This department is de
sirous of aiding the women In any way it
i-an. We are merly enforcing the law. as
it appears on the statute books.”
about the contents of the report until it
was submitted to the mayor.
Ihe act of Chief Beavers was as
great a surprise to Marion M. Jackson,
head of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement, as to the man on the street.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr.
Jackson told a Georgian reporter there
was no indication of early positive re
sults from the campaign waged by the
movement. At 1 o'clock he was in
formed by The Georgian that Chief
Beavers was on his way to the re
stricted district to close the houses.
The news came to Mr. Jackson as a
complete surprise. But he was quick
to act upon th- new turn affair.D'had
taken, and at once began steps to care
for the women driven out of the re
sorts.
But Mr. Jackson is not satisfied to
let matters stop with this one step.
He considers the closing of the houses
but one skirmish in the war against
evil
It is but a scratch on the surface,"
he declared "We must cut deeper—to
the very center of this cancel. The
crusade against vice will sweep the
city clean. It will eradicate the so
called 'hotels.' where men and women
are harbored; It will wipe out the
houses of rendezvous and the disrepu
' table boarding places.
Cheap Theaters To
Be Watched Closely.
"The cheap theater, these plates
I which The Georgian ha« exposed so
I thoroughly, will be prevented from re
cruiting girls for the dens. They are
recognized as part of the game. The
theaters and their people will be kept
under strict surveillance by the police.
All forms of amusement for young girls
will be censored, and the girls guarded
from barm.
"I'verv possible breeding place of
| vice in Atlanta will undergo rigid in
vestigation bj police anil our organiza
i tlon. In their places will be tnaugu
-1 rated methods of uplift for girls who
'have wandered from the path and for
i those in danger. They will be given an
I incentive to lead useful and Christion
lives."
The full-page advertisement in the
Men and Religion Forward campaign
against "the bouses In our midst" un
derwent a marked change upon the
' news of Chief Beavers' raids. Yester
i ■ da\ afternoon It was an appeal for the
i I losing of (he houses. Today It carried

Exodus of Women
To Other Cities On.
The men behind the movement real
ize that even the unfortunate outcasts
of the underworld have a right to live;
that they can not abandon the life they
lead without some livelihood to take
its place. The women can not simply
be ordered out on the streets and com
manded to be good and virtuous and
happy. They must be helped to keep
the path.
The closing of the resorts is being
followed by an exodus of the women.
Macon, Columbus, Jacksonville. Bir
mingham will be the objective points
of many of these hunted creatures, vic.
tints of the system. They are used to
"mot ing on." from bad to worse. But
there may be some who are ready to
try once more if they can feel that
there is an honest desire upon the part
of good people" to extend them sym
pathy and aid. It is to these that the
organization will offer a helping- hand.
Religious men and women of Atlanta
will be urged to consider this phase of
the problem and join in offering oppor
tunity to these outcasts to earn hon
est livings and lead decent lives. The :
Associated Charities will have this
work in charge, and already It is re- |
ceiving appeals from the women, j
Whether situations where the unfor- i
lunates may earn a living will be of- '
sered; whether employers will keep'
these women in their places in the face
of criticism, is yet to be determined.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.—John Fox,
Jr's., literary temperament and Fritz!
Scheff’s artistic disposition do not blend
in a harmonious duet, and their friends
were not surprised at rumors that the
novelist and the singer he married a
few years ago have agreed to separate.
Mr. Fox has "moods." When he is
feeling right he is a jolly good fellow.
When one of his moods comes on he is
something else Miss Scheff was asked
once, when her engagement to Fox was
first announced, what she would do
when John was attacked by one of
those same moods.
"Why. I’ll smile once,” she replied.
"Maybe I'll smile twice. If that doesn't
straighten him out. why—” And she
shrugged the shoulders which have
helped make her,famous.
Rumors tor weeks have been circu
lating that the fascinating Miss Scheff
and her novelist husband had agreed
to separate There was to be no fuss
no florid discussions of sentimental
differences which had shattered their
love. Both agreed, it is said, upon a

Department Head,After
a Week of Agony, De
cides Action Is His.
Duty and Proceeds
With Sensational
Move, While Official
Atlanta Stands Silent.
A man in blue uniform stumbled from
the private office of Carlos Mason,
chairman of the police commission. A
diamond-studded badge upon his breast
marked him as the chief of the Atlanta
police department. Atlantans have
known him for years as an officer of
indomitable physical courage. Yet, he
was crying like a child; tears streamed
down his cheeks; his voiec was broken
as he cried out:
"I’ve got to do it. I'm going to do it.
I can't help it, even if it costs me my
place. It's the law; it's the right."
The man was James L. Beavers, chief.
He had just reported to his superior,
head of the commission, that the orders
had gone out for the closing of the ten
derloin. He did not ask permission, did
not desire advice. He had obeyed man
dates higher than the authority of a
police commission—the law and his own
conscience. Beavers had proved his
moral courage as great as his physical
bravery. He was ready to take the
consequent es
Chief Through a
Week of Agony.
Chief Beavers had been through a
week of agony. He had lain awake
w ith his conscience. He had seen the
light. He had done his duty. He knew
he would be lauded by many, censured
by many more. He could not know
whether his act was tp be worldly wise.
But he knew it was his duty to himself
and to his oath of office.
For James L. Beavers is not only a
policeman, but a man; not only an of
ficial, but a good citizen, a churchgoer,
a man who loves friends and family
and right living. His record in the po
lice department has been singularly
free from the taint of partisan politics.
i his persona! conduct always beyond
! reproach.
The system had been there when
Beavers joined the force. It had ex
isted through his apprenticeship, when
he was a captain. It was there when
he became chief of his department. It
was recognized, tolerated, even com
mended as a lesser evil. The city had
wrestled with it under the spur of pop
ular movements; grave bodies of wise
men had debated the problem which is
as old as Babylon and had not agreed.
Janies Beavers' superiors, the men who
made him chief and who might unmake
him. were content with conditions as
they existed. They called him chief,
but it had been an unwritten law of the
department that no such step as this
might be undertaken without especial
authority. No chief in Atlanta's his
tory had taken such a burden upon his
shoulders.
System Tolerated
For Many Years.
There was the system, and there was
the law. For many months James
Beavers had tried to reconcile the two.
In the midst of his debate with his con
science there began the campaign ot
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment. the war upon "the houses in our
midst.” The committee behind this
movement hammered the fearful truths
of licensed vice Into the minds of At
lantans day after day. And. no man
read and listened with more deep
thought than Beavers, chief of police.
For four nignts James Beavers had
lain sleepless in his little home in Law
ton street. For four days he had paced
the floor of his office in the station
Carlos Mason, head of the commission,
was absent from the city, but it is
doubtful whether the chief would have
consulted him in any case. Beavers
wanted to know what was right; not
merely what might be expedient. He
considered the question in all its
phases; remembered the half-pledges
of immunity given the women when
they were moved into the new district
of Manhattan avenue, thought of their

Chaingang for
Violators—Broyles
"Any person who defies the orders
of Chief Beavers in this fight will be
given the limit of the law. No fine will
be Imposed—lt will be 30 days in the
stockade straight, and the offender w ill
also be bound over to the state courts
and headed for the chaingang. 1 in
tend to back Chief Beavers to the full
limit of my powers. We mean business
in this fight. Vice must go—that's all
there is to it."
This strong statement, made today to
The Georgian by Recorder Nash R.
Broyles, leaves no doubt as to the
stand of that official in the war of the
chief to obliterate vice from Atlanta. It
means that Chief Beavers has the sym
pathy and unmistakable backing of the
recorder, and that offenders will be
dealt with severely.
"Chief Beavers has displayed grit and
courage that will bring to him the ad
miration of all of Atlanta," says Judge
Broyles. "He has done a brave and
manly thing, and the right thing. He
is enforcing the law. and will receive
the full and complete co-operation of
police court. Any person brought be
fore me for failing to obey the chief’s
orders need expect nj leniency."
Judge Broyles holds that illegal
houses violate both the city and state
laws. The offenders can be given a
term in the stockade, and also held for
further trial in the state courts.
Chief Beavers said today that in
every case brought into court, where
the evidence proved a violation of law,
he would ask that the limit of the law
be imposed.
"We intend to stop these violations of I
law by illegal houses, even if we have
to put a whole lot of people in the
chaingang,'' he said.
Housewives Offer
Women Employment
Realizing that merely ordering the wom
en out of-'the district does not end the
evil. John J. Eagan, chairman of the Men
and Religion forward Movement, and
Marion M. Jackson, head of the executive
committee, today began a canvass of At
lanta to see where homes and work could ;
be found for the unfortunate women who |
will express a desire to lead a new life.
A personal visit to the district will be
made by the two campaign workers, and
the women interviewed. Those who ex
press a willingness to reform and who will
accept aid, will be asked what kind of i
work they prefer.
"The women who desire to reform will ■
be dealt with as individuals." said Mr. '
Eagan. "A number ot Atlanta house
keepers have pledged themselves to re
ceive these girls into their homes as serv
ants if the glrU will accept. We had a
sufficient number of such homes pledged
before our campaign was publicly begun.
"We shall not wait for the women to
eotne to us. ’ he continued. "We shall go
to them.”

act. The commissioners had announce !*
that Beavers would be chief in fact as

Every woman's heart responds to
