The "houses in our midst” will be de molished by the axes of the police de partment if tenderloin proprietors per sist in running the resorts after Chief of Police Beavers’ order goes into es- Whoiesale arrests of the tenants t'leintelves will be made If they con tlr e to I’ve at tl’.e places after Monday t> eek the time limit fixed by the ■ •■;' fo'- the evacuation of the houses, s t day they must close.

He declared that the " 1 station was big enough to ac ■ mtmodate them all if they did not qui : i district in the time he considers sufficient. At the same time. Jones denounces attitude of the chief as anarchy ! declared that lawyers had advised hi that lie could get an injunction inst him. f’uief Beavers declared that he wn to act on information in the • Is of the vice comm'ssion showing :r existence of scores of cheap hotels . r i lodging hous s run in defiance of law. T'wse are the striking features of re developments in the crusade that spoils the death of the restricted dis trict in Atlanta. The authority to demolish the houses f necessary, is conferred on the chief bv section 1804 of the city code, on the order of the recorder or mayor. Recorder Broyles, who has announced that he is heart and soul with the chief, said this morning that he was ready to o”der the houses demolished whenever that move was necessary. However, he ■li'i not believe such drastic steps would have to be taken. "The tenants of these bouses must move." said the chief today. "They can riot remain in these places after the lime limit I fix. If they do they will be .-rested. The police station is big ■ rough to accommodate them all.” Jones Offers Houses to Reformers. Jones today said he was ready to let 'lie Men and Religion Movement lead ers use one of his houses, now vacant, so religious services in a systematic ■ ffort to reform the inmates of the r ounding places. He announced his " thingness to help provide food for 'em. He said the reformers could have the building as long as they chose ithout any rent. The baggage man is busy in Manb.at i n avenue today. Instead of the taxis i’nd motors which have filled the short 'ittle street at night, are truckmen and depot cabs. The exodus is well under ay. There will be some women left hen Chief Beavers’ order goes into -ft <•■<■• Sunday afternoon, but there wiil >t be many of these footballs of fate maining by Monday. They are seat ng to other towns or moving quietly ' uptown rooms, where they say '>ey will be perfectly well behaved un the "storm blows over” or they go broke. 'hief Beavers’ order closing the "l ouses in our midst” so riddled the 1 ntative report of the vice commission ■at its members spent five hours yes rday afternoon and last night dis ' ussing their different views. Today ne of the members expect to finally "Pt a report at a meeting Wednesday ternoon which will not conflict with 'def Beavers’ order and yet express ir original views. The commission will make its report o Mayor Winn on October 7. While the inmission did not intend to advise " wiping out of the restricted dis i. Chief Beavers will be commend- * for his movement to enforce the a w.

Sept. 27, The ar est and Imprisonment in Law rence, Mass., of the two labor leaders, Arturio Giovarmitti and Joseph Ettor, on a charge of murder in connection with the textile strike, today caused an outbreak of grave international sig nificance, when 500 Italians—fellow countrymen of the accused men—made a demonstration here and attacked the residence of rhe United States minis ter, Henry S. Boutelle, of Illinois. The Italian workmen had been led to be lieve that Ettoi and Giovannitti had been summarily put to death. They did not know that the men had not' yet been placed on trial. The disorder became so great that the police were unable to handle the disturbance and it xvas necessary to call out soldiers. After it was ove: the authorities announced that If any fur ther trouble of a like nature broke out the offending Italians would be ex pelled from the country. Italian labor leaders and adlcal So cialists first called a strike to protest against "the execution" of Giovannitti and Ettor. Then the Italians were marshaled and proceeded to march through the streets to the residence of the United States minister. Some of the marchers bore banners with in scriptions: "Down with the United States," while others shouted. "Down with the American murderers."

The ease was made by Call Officer Bailey on com plaint of a woman neighbor that Mrs. Starnes continualy was nagging at her. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY , SEPTEMBER 27, 1912. TO WROTE IN AUGUSTA STRIKE Men Agree To Seek Peace Through Commercial Bodies. Awaits Company's Answer. AUGUSTA, GA., Sept. 27.—The street railway strike here will be arbitrated if the company consents to the plan proposed by a joint committee repre senting Augusta, commercial bodies. The strikers already have agreed to a t bit rate. Everything is expected to be quiet here tonight. No torchlight procession xvili be allowed and the military will be able to keep down any disorder. Street - car service on a limited scale was resumed here this afternoon, under police protection. This morning no at tempt was made to run cars, following last night's riotous outbreak of strikers and sympathizers. Thus far this after noon there has been no trouble. A heavy rain is falling, which tends to keep crowds off the streets. The four companies of militia, order ed out early this morning, are still un der arms at the armory, ready to an swer a riot call. However, the military will not interfere until the police fail to cope with the situation. A big labor meeting scheduled for to night has been abandoned. H. M. Stanley, state eommisisoner of commerce and labor, who arrived here this morning from Atlanta, has been making a study of the strike situation today, but thus far has taken no di rect steps toward bringing about a set tlerm n of the trouble betxveen the strik ing conductors and motorman and the \ugusta-Aiken Railway and Electric corporation. Strikebreakers Beaten by Rioters. Five strikebreakers today are In the Augusta hospital, having been beaten by strike sympathizers in last night’s riot. They are Jack Ivey, from near Augusta, and J. B. Caston, 8. I. Farrow, G. W. Plebber and a motorman named Kelley, all brought here from New York by the company. Kelley is probably the most seriously hurt. J. M. Barnett, a strikebreaking conductor, also from New York, escaped injury only by his ability to sprint when a mob of women in a mill district of Fifteenth street and May avenue attacked his car late yesterday afternoon. The women were armed with rolling pins, ice picks, stove lifters, flatirons and other household utensils. The rioting last night followed a monster mass meeting of labor men held at the court house under call of the Augusta Federation of Trades. At this meeting resolutions were adopted for a general strike of all union labor in Augusta, when the president of the car men's union deemed it opportune to issue the strike order. The mass meet, ing and general strike resolutions fol lowed the failure of Mayor Thomas Barrett and the chief of police to with draw the police guards from the cars, after that course had been demanded at a meeting of the federation of trades the night before. Yesterday a com mittee from the federation called on the mayor and presented the demand, which was refused. BASEBALL AND RACING RACES RESULTS. AT LOUISVILLE.
