Readily Admits He Owns Four Places
and Declares Women Can Stay as
Long as They Please Without Pay

and He Will Provide Their Fooa
i
Charles C. Jones, proprietor of the Rex and well-known sporting
man. readily admitted this afternoon that he owned four of thei
itoii." sin our midst, asserted that 186 places were being run ille
gally in the city outside of the district, and then unfolded a plan to
car- for a few score of the women affected by Chief Beavers’ determi- j
nation to wipe out the tenderloin of Atlanta.
Here is his remarkable statement:
Yes, I own four houses down there, and I'm not. ashamed to j
say so. I've always been square and above board. You have known
me long enough to know that. |
When this order went out I told the inmates of my places to stay
right on and they needn’t pay any rent. I told them I didn’t need the
money and they could stay there a month, a year, or two years, and if
they needed iood they could come to me and get it. I told them to
obey the order of the chief implicitly, to refuse to let a man cross their
dear -t-p, but they could stay in the houses and have a roof over their
heat.?. They can’t put them out if they do not violate the laws. ’ ’
•iones, telling of the illegal resorts outside the “district,” showed
a list of names.
I said 186. not 286, as Captain Poole said.” he explained. "Here
are i he names.”
IL' drew from his pocket a dozen
typewritten sheets hearing the
r i s of women and addresses,
i' latter included numbers in
eeod blocks of some of the best
fee n streets in town. They
ranged from Peachtree and Spring
streets down to the narrow thor
oughfares of the slums.
The names of perhaps a hundred
women were on other sheets.
Those are street walkers," said
.Tone s.
"’Why didn’t you give the list to the
'’■it he was asked.
"Who is chief of police?" he returned,
■ -sgi -siveij-, “Beavers, or me? It's
business, not mine.”

that's another question I
t care to say."
" >uld you testify to these facts if
before court <v grand jury?"
31 0"-3 Lists But
Will Not Testify.
I wouldn't. I’m not a police
man.”
1 ie proprietor of the Rex, a well
1 ’ n figure in Atlanta for years, was
annoyed at having his name

The added that he was giving*
Jones’ charges serious consideration
and had not decided yet whether to
make formal demand for his evidence.
Police authorities are inclined to doubt
whether he had the power to take such
action.
Residents of the restricted district
have already begun to leave the city
and a general exodus Is expected. Hany
of them have gone to Birmingham and
others have left for cities in the state.
There is little hope that many will be
Induced to take advantage of the offer
of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement leaders.
Loaders in the Men and Religion For
ward Movement and a number of min
istrrs and social workers of Atlanta
will meet at noon today to begin a can
vass of the restricted district and offer
the exiled women opportunities 'to turn
to a better life. The workers have a
cash fund of SIO,OOO available for car
ing for the women who will accept as
sistance and say there are enough sit
uations pledged to. take care of all the
women who will accept them.
Th? report that the financial backers
of the underworld would establish a
new tenderloin outside the ciiy limits,
but within the county lines is not given
credence today. Sheriff Mangum, who
was quoted yesterday as saying lie
would not interfere with such a move
unless forced to do so, denied making
any such statement and both the sheriff
and Chief Zach Rowan, of the count'
police, say they will co-operate with
Chief Beavers in putting out vice.
Recorder Broyles' statement to The
Georgian yesterday that he would up
hold the chief by giving offenders the
limit penalty of the law. was borne out
in the first cases to come before him*.
He held the lessee and manager of the
Albian hotel in Pryor street under SI,OOO
bonds for the higher court.
Two Stranded Show Girls
Help Police Crusade.
Two girls found in the St. Clair hotel
in Forsyth street under questionable
circumstances have told the police of
numerous other cases where women
were using the “hotels ' as a blind for
vice. The girls' story shows the evil j
effect of some of the cheap vaudeville 1
theaters, too. They were brought to ■
Atlanta by a ten-cent theatrical troup
which stranded here in two days afte
arrival, leaving the girls penniless.
Marion M. Jackson, head of the Mei,
and Religion Forward Movement, de
clared that if houses in the city are
rented for immoral purposes in future
the owners, and not merely the proprie
tors, will be put in jail. The state law
is plain on this subject and makes the
owner equally guilty with the manager.
"We shall not stop with fines," said
Mr. Jackson. "The law says such an
owner is subject to a fine of not more
than SIOO and imprisonment not ex
ceeding 30 days. Some of these rich
gentlemen will find out what the rock
pile means if they rent houses for im
moral purposes.”
Two girls, members of a stranded
“theatrical” company, are aiding the
police force today in running down the
so-called hotels which are hotbeds of
vice, and their information has led to a
number of arrests. The girls, Frances

CHANCEFLAYS '
‘BBSS' MURPHY
Charges That Dissipation Lost
1909 Pennant to Chicago
Vehemently Denied.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26. —Angered by
charges of President Charles Webb
Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs, that the
team had failed to win the world’s
championship in 1909 because its mem
bers were addicted to drinking. Frank
L. Chance, the manager-captain, this
afternoon flayed Murphy for his criti
cism. Chance recently underwent an
■ operation on ills head, but was well
enough to rake his chief fore and aft.
”1 want to say that the only time
Murphy thinks much of his team is
when we are winning world s cham
pionships,” he said. "I he trouble with
Murphy is that lie does not like his
I team except when they are winners.
. He is trying to hur, not only the tenhi,
I but the individual players as well by
I making them look like a lot of tramps
i to the public
"If President Murphy or any one
I else says that my team lost the pen-
Inant in 1909 through drink, he is a liar
and an ingrate. If any one ever says
jthat the Cubs lost a pennant because

■of that reason he is a liar, Murphy in
cluded.
"I believe that 1 have the best base
ball team in either league. Take a
collection of five men from any walk of
life ball players, business men or even
ministers, and keep them together for
eight months of the twelve and some of
them will be sure to break strict train
ing rules.
"It. is true that most of my players
like a glass of beer after the game; it
Is beneficial and not harmful and bet
ter than water for them. Rut 1 know
there Is no drinking among my men
before games or between double-head
ers.
"Murphy or anybody else can’t force
me personally to sign a contract with
an anti-drink and an anti-smoking
clause. The other men of my team do
as they like in this regard. I have
rnadd it a rule that not one of my
pitchers shall smoke cigarettes during
the playing season.
"And further,” Chance added, “I know
that the men live up to this rule. I do
not believe in smoking cigarettes, but
if ball players can not sit down after
a meal and smoke a cigar or cigarette
if desired, I do not know what ball
players are coming to.
“Murphy is sore because we lost the
pennant this year and he wants to rasp
somebody, but let me tell you that he
is not going to rasp me. No team
whose members dissipated could have
won the pennant for four years and
second place for three.”

Market By Club Owner
MONTGOMERY, ALA.. Sept. 26.
The Montgomery baseball franchise in
the Southern league Is for sale, ac
cording to a statement of Owner Rich
ard Tillis today, following the breaking
off of negotiations for a guarantee fund
by the Montgomery Business Men’s

Mr. Tillis and directors of the league
could not agree on the contract which
was to be signed by both parties.
Mr. Tillis refused, during the past
summer, an offer for the franchise from
Little Rock. He declined to say today
whether he would accept this oliet if it
■ waai made again.

U. S. DEBATES WHAT
TO DO WITH MENA,
NICARAGUAN REBEL
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—State de
partment officials here are worried con
cernlng the ultimate disposition ol
General Luis Mena, Nicaraguan rebel
leader, who with TOO men surrendered
to Rear Admiral Southerland at mid
night on Tuesday.
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson Is debating whether Mena shall
be held by the American forces, turned
over to the federate or exiled from
the country'.
While the United States would not
countenance officially the summary ex
ecution of the rebel leader, it is welt
understood that the state department
would make no protest should Presi
dent Diaz follow such a course. Mena,
by his barbarous attacks on women and
children and non-combatants, and his
shelling by his ships of unprotected
households, has placed himself outside
of the pale of civilization, and state
department officials are of the opinion
that his immediate execution would bo
the best thing for that country.
In the same dispatch from Minister
Weitzel, who confirmed Mena’s surren
der. the state department learned that
conditions at Granada when the Ameri
can forces arrived there were of the
worst possible. Women and children
were dying in the streets from starva
tion, while rebel soldiers brutally at
tacked any one who made an outcry.
What little food there was in the city
had been captured by the rebels, who
had also cut off the supply of water,
