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.

Removal of Police From Cars Demanded AUGUSTA. GA., Sep: 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 ears, 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 ears have b n en 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. MRS.

JONES REFUSES TO EVICT HIS TENDERLOIN TENANTS Baby Athlete in Training to Dethrone Travers BOY, 2, IS A REAL GOLFER s'"* ’ • kt /■' jA\ Sr //in- Wr ■HI \ / MM \ JU B Monroe Ashe, two-year-old son of H. M. Ashe. Atlanta's coming candidate for the golf championship. Little Monroe Ashe Also Can Swim and Swat a Tennis Ball Like Champ. If careful training will count for anything Atlanta some day may pro duce a golfer who will bling the laurels of Jerome Travers to the East Lake club. Monroe Ashe, the two-year-old son of H. M. Ashe, is this golfer, but don't for a minute go away with the idea that he is not a golfer now. His father is aware of this last fact, and sometimes to his sorrow, for he he can't take a turn of the links when playing a handicap match with his ath letic baby. Little Mr. Ashe is a familiar sight on the East Lake course, and he is an ac complished player of the ancient and honorable game of a year's experience. His father’s ambition to make him an athlete is responsible for the boy's abil ity to welt the gutta percha. Nor is golfing his only accomplish ment in the sport line. He can swim like a duck and bat a tennis ball with the best of his weight with a miniature racket designed for him. "It is getting to be. said his father, "that I can't go over the East Lake course without taking the boy along. At the sight of golf sticks he is like a pointer at the sight of a shotgun. He has got to go and he usually does " SUPERIOR COURT CLEARS RECORDS OF DE LEON CASES Judge George Bell today dismissed Ronald Ransome and H. L.

NICARAGUAN REBEL WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—State de partment officials here are worried con cerning the ultimate disposition of General Luis Mena, Nicaraguan rebel leader, who with 700 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 federals or exiled from the country. While the United States would not countenance officially the summary ex ecution of the rebel leader, it is well 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 b< 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. DAUGHTER OF CROKER WINS DIVORCE DECREE NEW YORK. Sept. 26. —Mrs. Ethel <’. Breen, daughter of Richard Croker, today obtained a divorce decree from John J Breen, formerly a riding mas ter in Central park.

Readily Admits He Owns Four Places and Declares Women Can Stay as Long as They Please Without,Pay ing Rent--Tells Them to Obey Chief and He Will Provide Their Food. Flourishes a List of 186 Places He Asserts Are Violating Law, But Will Not Give Evidence to Chief--Reformers Warn of Moves Against Beavers—Appeal to Women Individually. Charles C. Jones, proprietor of the Rex and well-known sporting man, readily admitted this afternoon that he owned four of the “houses in our midst.'' asserted that 186 places were being run ille gally in the city outside of the district, and then unfolded a plan to care for a few score of the women affected by Chief Beavers’ determi 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 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 food they could come to me and get it. I told them to obey the order of the chief implicitly, to refuse to kt a man cross their door step, but they could stay in the houses and have a roof over their heads They can’t put them out if they do not violate the laws.” Jones, telling of the illegal resorts outside the “district,” showed a list of names. “ J said 186. not 286, as Captain Poole said,” he explained. “Here are the names." He drew from his pocket a dozen typewritten sheets bearing the names of women and addresses. The latter included numbers in good blocks of some of the best known streets in town. They ranged from Peachtree and Spring streets down to the narrow thor oughfares of the slums. Has the Proof That Houses Are Illegal. The names of perhaps a hundred women were on other sheets. “These are street walkers." said Jones. "Why didn't you give the list to the police?” he was asked “Who Is chief of police?" he returned, aggressively. "Beavers, or me? It’s his business, not mine.” "Could you prove your statement that the addresses on that list are illegal houses?” "I could. The men who made the list can swear to the facts.” “Who made the lists?" "Well, that’s another question 1 don’t care to say.” "Would you testify to these facts if called before court or grand jury?" Shows Lists But Will Not Testify. ’’No, I wouldn't. I'm not a police man." The proprietor of the Rex, a well known tigtire in Atlanta for years, was visibly annoyed at having his natne printed in connection with the tender loin matter. Jones refused to discuse the probable effect of the chief’s order. He said he did not want to be drawn Into a dis cussion. was sorry he had been dragged into the papers, and had told a police officer about the 186 places without the thought that it would be used as official information He permitted a reporter to look over the lists, but declined to permit any memoranda made of the names or addresses. The announcement that there were 186 Illegal houses was made when Po lice Captain Poole, carrying out the or ders of his chief, served Jones with no tices that three houses he was reported to own in the district must be vacated w’ithin the specified five days Jones accepted the service calmly. He had announced that he would not attempt to block in any way the police department's work, but as he put the notices into his pocket he pulled out a bundle of papers. 186 Places Run Illegally, He Says. "I have here,” he said. “ the names and addresses of 186 places in Atlanta run illegally 1 have the names of the owners and the proprietors. I have the evidence.” Captain Poole informed Chief Beav ers of the charges today. He declared that he had asked Jones for his evi dence, but that he had refused. "Jones, as a citizen of Atlanta,” de clared the chief, "should produce this evidence, and if he does 1 will act upon it. I will put these places out of busi ness, or do my best to, just at I will all other places run in defiancs of the taw. They all must go.” The chief added that he was giving m 2CENTS EVERYWHERE Jones’ charge* 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. Many 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. Offer Aid to All » Women Who Will Accept. ' Leaders in the Men and Religion For ward Movement and a number of min isters 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 w'orkers 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. The report that the financial backers of the underworld would establish a new tenderloin outside the city limits, but within the county lines Is not given credence today. Sheriff Mangum, who was quoted yesterday as saying he 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 county 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 Alblan 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 effect of some of the cheap vaudeville theaters, too. They were brought to Atlanta by a ten-cent theatrical troupe which stranded here In two days after arrival, leaving the girls penniless. Marion M. Jackson, head of the Men 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.” Assist Police in Ferreting Out Vice. Two girls, members of a stranded "theatrical” company are aiding the police force today in running down the so-called hotels which are hotbeds o ! vice, and their Information has letfrcto s number of arrests.
