October number, for hints on how to deal i with the problems created by Chief Beavers’ war on the ten l derloin of Atlanta. He advised every minister and worker who was going to aid in the effort to redeem the women to read Winston Church ill’s story in that magazine, “The Inside of the Cup.’’ That story, he said, showed why there were so many fail ures in the efforts to reach the women. As a usual thing ' the ministers do not make the natural, personal appeal that is necessary, he said. Mr. Jackson had a number of copies of Hearst's Mag azine for October which he distributed at the meeting of mem bers of the Men and Religion Forward Movement today.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 26, 1912. Churches Asked To Return Thanks The executive committee, of the Men and Religion Forward Movement to day issued this statement to "min isters and pastors of .Atlanta:” Chief Beavers, with a manhood and courage rarely equaled, has upon his own responsibility com plied with the request made by you. He has taken a step which few men would dare to take alone, in obedience to his conscience and without regard for consequences to himself. To him the churches of Atlanta are indebted for an opportunity the like of which has not been seen be fore in the history of our city to prove again to the world that Jesus spoke truth when He said the very "gates of hades shall not prevail against His church." Expect Attacks on Beavers. Servants of Satan, some even masquerading in the garb of mem bership of Christian churches, will tlgot relentlessly this chief of po lice who by his tearless act lias taught anew the saeredness of an oath and the law. It is gratifying that at this hour such an official has behind him our recorder. Nash R. Broyles, who is absolutely without fear and ever a foe to vice and lawlessness in any form. The worst of these attacks will be made under cover, when least expected, and by men who have not yet learned the meaning' of public office and the obligation of an oath. Without further consultation with you, who created this committee, we have pledged to Chief Beavers the unqualified and unending sup port of each of the 57 ministers who signed the request for law enforce ment against the social evil in At lanta. In addition to this, we con fidently believe and expect that he will have the approval and active co-operation of every force for good in the city, whether or not connected with Christian churches Would Go Into Courts. You need not be apprehensive as lo rhe moving of the houses to the country districts or surrounding counties. We were confident tliat there was a mistake about the remarks at tributed to Sheriff Mangum and County Chief of Police Rowan. Had they taken such a position, it would not alter the situation. I nder such circumstances, your committee would, immediately and without hesitation, use the injunc tion of the superior court against the houses and criminal warrants for the arrest of the owners of the houses and their inmates. The law is simple and effective. Had Faith in Officials. " hen there is a man willing to get behind the law, the recognized house of prostitution can not ex ist 24 hours in any city or county of this state. We did not use these methods in the city because wo were unwilling excepting as a last resort to ad vertise to tile world that private citizens of Atlanta had to do that which our public officials are paid to do. Our belief in the integrity of the city's officials made us feel that it was unnecessary It is impossible that officials, un der oath and responsible for law and order in Fulton and surround ing counties, should ever connive at the efforts of criminals to thwart the chief of Atlanta’s police in the enfo:vement of law. But should the impossible hap pen. the courts will take care of the criminals and the respectable people will attend to the officials at the polls No word from us to you with ref erence to the women of tiie house* I .* necessary Ask Thanks Be Returned. When you entered upon this work you had already determined to go more than half way to save them and to take effective meas ures to prevent others falling into these unspeakable traps, " e ask that you make Sunday a day to be remembered in your churches by returning thanks to God for the action of Chief Beav ers and the victory which through him God has given to you. Pray for guidance of His people in this time of test for the < hurches which bear the name of Christ. Let it be known to the world that this is the work not of a few en thusiasts. but of the Christian ministers and people of Atlanta Respectfully, JOHN ,1 EAGAN. Chairman SLADE HOGAN DIES. S ade Hogan died this afternoon at I (.30 at his residence, 14 East Ninth street The Interment will be at his Id home in Hognnsvi.ie tomorrow. The ’ me of the funeral v. i! be announced TO SPEND ESTATE TO PUNISH CMP Son of Slain Policeman Takes Out Letters of Administra tion for Father’s Property. Edward S. Belding, of Augusta, son of S A. Belding, the police officer slain by J. W. Camp, motorcycle policeman, a week ago. appeared in Fulton county court of ordinary today and took out temporary letters of administration for his father's estate. Belding was ac companied by B. B McCowan, an Au gusta attorney. “We expect to use part of the estate to assist In the prosecution of Camp. We will spend money to get him,” he said. McCowan asserted that he expected to go over the case with Solicitor Hugh Dorsey today. Ha will come to Atlanta during the trial to assist Dorsey in the prosecution. Presentments against Camp will be made to the grand jury at the next meeting. The jury is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, but because the criminal division of superior court is in session it may be postponed. Chief Beavers To Be Sermon Theme Di. John E. White, pastor of the Sec ond Baptist church and a leader in the Men and Religion Forward Movement, this afternoon gave out a statement praising the action of Chief Beavers and declaring that the fight to down vice in Atlanta has just begun. Df. White also announces that he will preach next Sunday night on "Chief Beavers and the Present Situation." Dr. White says: "First, I want to congratulate The Geo glan on its splendid editorial of a few days ago. an editorial which is bound to exert a wide influence for Rood throughout the entire state and receive the commendation of all clear thinking and good people. "I also want to stress the fact that the Christian people and all ot the bet ter element of Atlanta are squarely be hind Chief Beavers in this fight—not loosely, but solidly. The chiefs action is the result of first-hand knowledge of facts, of constant contact with the or ganised elements in support of vice in Atlanta, of intelligence concerning what has been done in other cities, and, above all, of his own conscience, which kept, his solemn oath lo enforce the law before his honest mind. "The attitude of the Men and Re ligion Forward Movement, from the beginning, has been based on intelli gence and not on sensationalism and fanaticism. There was the law—hero was the crime and criminals. There was never a moment's doubt of the out come of the campaign. And it is not over yet. "We have just begun the fight. Re po: ts from many towns in Georgia in dicate that the Atlanta spirit to sup press defiant vice is going to be con tagious in the smaller towns and cities of this stale. Really, the movement is a part of a great nation-wide agitation which can not be stopped, because facts keep it alive.” Debts on Resort Furniture Illegal By peculiar coincidence, an echo of the Collins street raids of two years ago. in which that restricted district was wiped out by court order, was heard in first division of superior court today. The verdict of the court will check Atlanta furniture dealers who have had dealings with the proprietors of restricted district resorts and who might be contemplating suits for d?bts. In deciding the suit ot the Abbot Furniture Company, 241 Marietta street, against Daisy Mobley, formerly’ of 9 Collins street, the court held that the furniture man had a knowledge of the illegal character of the resort, and therefore could not replevin furniture upon which money still was due. The answer filed to the furniture company suit by the Mobley women, in which the furniture company was held to be aiding and abetting the viola tion of the law by selling furniture to be used in an immoral resort, was sus- I tained. Court Defines the Law. The court practically refused to take the bail and trover suit filed by the Ab bot people into consideration, for this reason. After Collins street was fa ded, the Mobley woman moved to Jacksonville, owing the Abboi Furniture Company $272. She admitted the claim, and suit to replevin the goods was filed. The furniture passed out of the woman's hands before the Abbot people could get track of it, and she refused to pay. The court inti uated plainly that any bait and trover suit brought under sim ilar conditions would meet with the same fate. The courts, it was held, can not recognize suits filed to obtain Judg ments on debts incurred as a violation of the law. URGES GIRLS TO ORGANIZE TO REPULSE ALL MASHERS WASHINGTON.

Commissioner of Labor Stanley has been approached quietly by interested parties who w’ant him to use his influ ence in bringing about, if possible, a settlement of the street railway' strike in Augusta. Under section 5 of the act of 1911 creating the office of commissioner of labor, Mr. Stanley is clothed with au thority to do this, if, in his judgment, it seems the fit and proper thing. Because of the delicacy of the mat ter. the commissioned would be slow to he were assured in advance that his move in a matter of this kind, unless efforts likely would be acceptable. He yvould not care to appear as a partisan in the dispute from any conceivable standpoint. The commissioner has taken the sug gestion, coming to him as it did, under serious advisement. He has not made up his mind what he will do, but if he does undertake to interfere the impres sion is that the situation in Augusta may be adjusted speedily. Removal of Police From Cars Demanded AUGUSTA. GA., Sept. 26. —Following the action of the Augusta Federation of Trades last night, a committee will call on Mayor Thomas Barrett today to demand that policemen be taken off the street cars, where they have been placed to protect non-union motormen and conductors. The labor men of Augusta have threatened a sympathetic strike if their demands are not complied with. They hold that General Manager Deal, of the railway" company, is entirely responsi ble for the street railway strike, and that the strikers should be allowed to fight their battles with the company without the latter being assisted by the police. The labor men say there has been no disorder on the cars so far. City offi cials declare that policemen on the cars have been the only cause of keep ing down disorder, and that the cars could not run five minutes unless under police protection. Union labor men paraded on Broad street last night 800 strong. However, there was no disorder save shouting. It is confidently expected that Mayor Barrett will refuse to take the police men off the cars, and there may be a general strike ordered within a day or two. There will be another meeting of the union labor men tonight, when a report of a committee appointed to see Mayor Barrett will be heard. Policemen are on the cars today.

SAW HIS BROTHER FALL: CAUGHT HIM Aid of Labor Commissioner Stanley Sought in Effort to Settle Controversy. Victor P.anson's foot slipped as he was painting from a swinging scaffold at the third floor of Child’s hotel in Broad street eariy today. He shot downward toward the stone sidewalk. In a moment he would have been killed or injured badly. But Claude Ranson, his brother, was standing on the curb. He heard no cry, but something told him to look up. life saw Victor hurtling toward the ground, ran forward five or six feet and caught the falling man on his shoulders. Both went to the side walk under the impact, but Victor es caped with a sprained ankle and Claude rubbed a bruised shoulder and went back to work. A reporter went to seek Claude Ran son a few minutes afterward. The painter, with a companion, was stand ing on a narrow swinging scaffold just under the eaves of the hotel, painting away with no bother about shaken nerves or anything else. “I Just Caught Him,’’ says Hero. Being interrogated persistently, he admitted that his name was Claude Ranson, he was 23 years old, lived at 15 Weatherby street and intended to stick on the job until it was finished. His brother, he stated, was 25 years old and lived at 16 Oliver street. "It wasn’t nothing,” said Claude. "His rope must have give way or some thing. He wasn’t up so high. Just the third floor. Yes, I reckon he’d have been bruised up considerable if I hadn't caught him. "No. I didn’t hear him holelr. Don't think he had time to holler. I was on the sidewalk and I looks up. I see Vic tor coming down, turning sideways, and I take about three steps and catch him on my shoulder. Yes, he knocks me down and bruises me up some. Not enough to bother about, though. “Have you heard from Grady hos pital? How's he getting on? Just a sprained ankle, eh? That's good. He might have been hurt bad if I hadn’t happened to see him.” And Claude Ranson dipped his brush in the bucket and went on painting the cornice. GEORGIA RAILROAD EMPLOYEES VOTING ON STRIKE ISSUE AUGUSTA, GA.. Sept. 26.—Balloting began this afternoon among the con ductors, trainmen and yardmen of the Georgia railroad to determine whether or not there shall be a strike ordered.
