COURT BUCKS BEAVERS
IN HIS WAR ON RESORTS:
Bl inmate a suicide
■
Mayor and Police Board Head Not
Consulted, But Praise Chief’s Closing
of Tenderloin—Woman Ends Life i
Declaring Nothing Is Left for Her.
Atlanta today discussed but one topic—the order of Chief .James
L. Beavers closing the resorts in the restricted districts. Develop
ments have followed thick and fast since The Georgian yesterday aft
ernoon announced that the places were being closed by the chief.
The suicide today of a woman inmate of the district was the most I
dramalic incident of the new regime. This unfortunate, ordered out '
<>i her house, slashed herself to death with a knife. *‘l have nothing I
i 1 to live lor." she wrote in a note which was read by the coroner.
I.aie this afternoon the police declared that they had evider>
tr. i he girl's death was a case of murder and the suicide letter
■piaui Policemen Louis Whitley said Ihe woman late last nit'
iiad told him and Patrolman Coriej that on Sunday a man had a
r nipted to chloroform her, but she had awakened in time to save hei
lift She asked them for a policeman’s whistle to summon aid in case
of sudden need and they promised her protection. A man seen to
enter the house shortly after is being sought.
Mayor Courtland S. Winn and Chairman Carlos Mason, of the
police commission, say they were surprised at Chief Beavers’ act.
X’ it her was consulted by the chief, but they will give him support in
his vident sincere desire to rid Atlanta of vice.
Broyles to Bock Chief to Limit
t inier Chief Beavers' direction the police today began a war on
so-called “hotels" which are in reality immoral resorts. Two men
mid two women were arrested in a “hotel in South Pryor street, and
other arrests will follow.
Recorder Broyles announced that he would back the chief to the
limit with stockade sentences.
John -I. Lagan and Marion M. Jackson, two leaders in the Men
ami Religion forward Movement, which has been waging a spectac
ular campaign against the social evil, began today a canvass of the
ciiv to secure homes and positions for those of the outcasts who are
willing Io make the attempt toward leading decent lives. They will
visit ihe district ami ascertain how many women will promise to leave
' H careers of vice, and learn what work will be most suitable and
acceptable to I hem.
Atlanta politicians were dazed. The order by ( hiei Beavers ex
ploded like a bombshell in the political camps in the very height of the
municipal campaign, and supporters of the rival candidates are won
tv ring which way to turn, and how the new conditions will affect the
>■' 'pective candidates. Nobody is willing to discuss tin* situation. The
mtieence of public officials is indicative that they realize that the
1 dm w ill affed the political situation in an important way. and they
do not know whether it is wiser to praise the chief or denounce him.
I he one thing most evident today is that the act of < hie f Bea vers
"as absolutely free from the induenee of politics ami entirely inde
pendent of Mavor Winn and every other official of the city. Not hah ;
'i ' lti persons in Atlanta knew ot his order until Ihe Georgian
hmdied the streets. He had consulted nobody, had asked no official
■ dvice. He was chief, there was the law. and he obeyed it. And it is
•i '’range commentary on things political that the enforcement of the
law- by an official sworn to enforce it could bring about such a storm
districts protected.
I li'“ order closing I he resorts in
restricted district is hut a step
in the cleaning up of Atlanta.

Recorue Broyles declared 'hat the

had been before him several times and
should not be allowed to operate a
hotel.
"Chief Beavers has made the great
est digplay 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 dow n 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 aa an
official body. What he did was dbne
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 vot’d that the chief of police
should 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.

had been married for ren 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

her husband swinging at her with a
citib which proved to be a baseball bat

the rescue. He found her in her yard,
blood from her wounds mingling with
