Church Women Send Beavers White Roses The women of the Tabernacle Bap tist church, through the Indies Aid so ciety, today sent to,Chief Beavers a big box of beautiful white roses as a strik ing testimonial of their approval of his action in wiping out tolerated vice in Atlanta.

After a consultation between .Judge Newt Morris, Adjutant General Obear and Governor Brown yesterday, it was determined to send sufficient state troops to Gumming next week to in sure the entire protection of the ne groes to be tried there for participation in two recent assaults upon white women in Forsyth county. Feeling against the negroes is bitter in Forsyth and surrounding territory, particularly since one of the victims died. Cool heads believe that only the sternest of measures can avoid a lynch ing. if the negroes are brought to Cum ming for trial. Governor Brown is averse to the idea of a change of venue for the trials, be cause he fears that might so work on the feelings of residents that the lives of innocent negroes would be endan gered. The diabolical details of one of the assaults has aroused a general feel ing of uncompromising hostility toward the negroes throughout all the section concerned. It is likely that the ful military strength of Gainesville and Marietta, two companies, will be sent to guard the negroes, and it is possible that a company from Atlanta may be used. Hundreds of negroes have been warned to leave Forsyth county imme diately, and numbers of farmers em ploying negro help have been threat ened. Martial law will be declared by the governor while the trials are in prog ress.

Miss McKenzie arrived in New York from Colorado last Friday. She was anxious to s?e the bright lights of Broadway and learn if New York wom en smoke. When she learned they did she decided to smoke herself and yes terday she bought 500 cigarettes to be gin on. When Miss McKenzie had finished about 100 cigarettes she went out on the street and brought in a five-year old boy, telling the guests at her hotel she had adopted him. An hour or so afterward the mother of the boy was causing a riot in the hotel lobby. Miss McKenzie surrendered the youngster and then calmly went out and got an other. Riot No. 2 followed. Still the' girl from Boulder was not discouraged. After smoking a score or so more cigarettes she went out to the lobby of the hotel and adopted one of the children of the guests. This lit tle lad was not found for two hours, and meantime his mothed had hys terics. MARTIN J. ARGARD DIES; WIDELY KNOWN HERE Funeral services over the remains of Martin J.

Woodwards chare, that a political “ring" was making flagrant effort to get control ~f th ' government of Atlanta and K U | t , ?1 county, and Aldine Chamber- an nouncement that Mr. Woodward s re, ord would be attacked at a rally at the Orpheum tonight, the contest for inay.'t took on decided new life today All the candidates have sidestepped more or less, the real issue of the day Chief Beavers’ crusade against vi< p their attitudes are continued. Chief Beavers and his office will eclipse the mayor and his office during the next ad. ministration, no matter which one is mayor. Everyone around the citv hall is n U2 zled over the effect of the chiefs 01 '. der on the mayoralty contest As the matter stands, the chief has almost ab solute authority over the police depart ment so far as enforcing the law is con. corned. He was raised to the bead of the department by the police com mission for no fixed term. If other offi cials expect to exert any direct author ity over the chief, the commission would have to change its.rule of "chief in fact as well as name." Every indication is that Beavers is to have a free hand. “Uncle Jim" Woodward said today that there was a threatened coalition between some of the city and some of county officials, inspired by interested outside speculators. He severely criti cised some of the recent charter amend, ments credited to Councilman Aldine Chambers, declaring the amendments tended to take the power of govern ment away from the people,
