WOOD HOLDS YANKEES TO 2 HITS The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results VOL. XL NO. 45. 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. Broyles Holds Two To Higher Court.

He said that Goldberg 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. derloln demonstrates it thoroughly." Other members of the police com mission express themseives along the ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1912.
