Houses in City.
Continued From Page One.
Chjof Beavers' wai on the social evil in
all Atlanta The places of worship
were, packed and the exhortations of lo
cal divines did not fall upon deaf ears.
“The existence of recognized disor
derly houses in Atlanta has been an
indictment of the manhood of the city
The sanctioned evil has been wiped
from our midst, but never will it be
dealt w ith properly until society shall
change its standards." said Dr. G. L.
Hanscom, of the Central Congregation,
al church.
“Some girls earn only $4 and $5 week,
ly in stores and factories, and can't
feed and house themselves properly.
Not immorality always, but hunger,
drives them to a life of shame. Ac
cording to Mayor Blankenburg. of Phil
adelphia, there are ten faJJen men to
one fallen woman“
“Beavers No Jumping Jack.”
“Chief Beavers Is no jumping Jack
who dances when the strings arc
pulled, " said Dr <' A Ridley “He is
the most fearless, conscientious and
courageous officer of the law I ever
have known."
Dr. Dunbar Ogden, of the Central
Presbyterian church, declared that the
hand of God had been seen in the Men
and Religion Movement's campaign
against vice and the startling develop
ments that followed
Atlanta was likened to Sodom by the
Kev A M. Hughlett. of St. Mark
Methodist church, and although he said
Sodom was ten times worse than At
lanta. even Sodom could have been
saved
“Are you ready to furnish refuge for
these unfortunates?" said he “They
are the victims of an ignorant trust in
men who are not good citizens and
once under the ban of society, are help
less and hopeless Can they get work
In your store, your office, your shop,
your house, at wages that wiM support
them in decency? What is the an

G. \\ . Beavers, fathei of the chief
and Mrs James 1.. Beavers attended
the Second Baptist church and heard
the glowing tribute paid the chief by
Dr. John E. White.
“Evil dreads no foe. ' said I>: White,
“but the man it is compelled io re
spect The attitude of silence toward
evil is a faltering cowardly altitude."
Dr. L. <> Bricker of the Hirst Chris
tian church, said:

Says Owners Took
Gambler’s Chance
“The people who invested money in
the tenderloin district simply took a
gambler's chance and have no kick com
ing now that they have lost," said Chief
Beavers today in commenting on a re
port to the effect that some of the re
cently built bouses have not been paid
for and that "somebody's going to lose
some money."
“When a person builds a house, no
matter how much money may be spent
to make it fine and handsome, to be
used for illegal purpose and in viola
tion of law. that person simply takes
the law in his own hands. He defies
rhe law. He merely takes a long chance
gambles against ttn- law -for he
doesn't know what minute his hous**
will be closed. He has absolutely no
guarantee that he will be allowed to
conduct an illegal house —it is merely
the risking of his money against, the
power of law. If he loses he should
take his medicine just the same ns the
gamble, who stakes his thousands on
me turn of a card. The principle is the
same.'

Urges Living Wage
As Cure for Vice
The Journal of Labor in its editorial
columns this issue says “the houses in
our midst ate hut the symptoms of
something radically wrong in the body
politic."
"The houses will no longer be in out
midst." It says, "but though this symp
tom of the evil will be cured, the evil
will remain. Eor the most part, the
recruits to these houses come from the
illiterate classes, uneducated, ignorant
in some measure, overworked, half
starved, and almost wholly destitute of
refinement because of lhe lack of refin
ing influences in the home life."
The Journal of Labor suggests that
mofe sanitary workshops, a living wage
for workers and a shorter workday,
with hours for study and recreation,
migiii be a part of the solution of the
problem.

•Joseph -I. Ettoi', on the left, and Arturo Giovanniti, who were
placed on trial at Lawrence. Mass., today, charged with murder as
the result ot the death of a striker during lite textile strike last win

rence was called.
Extraordinary Case Called in
Massachusetts Court —350
Drawn for Jury.
SAI,EM. MASS.. Sept. 3(1.- Three
hundred and fifty veniremen jammed
the court room of Judge Joseph F.
Quinn todav when he called to the bar
Joseph Caruso for murder and Joseph
Eitor and Arturo ,M. Giovannltti as
accessories to murder in connection
with the death of Mrs. Anna Lopizzo
in the textile strike at Lawrence eight
months ago. Outside the Essex county
court building many guards were sta
tioned because of rumors that mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World, of which organization Ettor and
I Giovannitti were leaders, might attack
the building and attempt to rescue the
prisoners.
This is one of the most extraordi
nary eases in the annals of Massachu
setts. because of the character of the
indictment, which charges complicity
in the murder of a woman during a
strike riot to the leaders who preached
a strike. Ail tHe forces of labor are
lined up against an interpretation of
the law which means that a strike
leader can be punished for ail the ex
cesses of his followers or even the ac
tions of the forces of the law during a
riot o: disturbance.
Never Even Saw Woman.
The prosecution must first prove that
Caruso was responsible for the deatn
of Mrs. Lopizzo. Then it must pro
ceed along different lines and prove
that by incendiary speeches, inciting
violence. Ettor anil Giovannitti were
accessories before the fact, even though
they never saw Mrs. Lopizzo or had
any intention of injuring her
There is a strong array of legal tal
ent on each side, tne line-up being ::s
follows:
For the government. District Attor
ney Harrv U Atwell and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Burke.
For the defense. Attorney John P. S.

for Trying to Slay Third.
BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 30. — Mrs.
Mary M. Hanner, who, with her hus
band. was shot in their auto near Niag
ara Falls one night recently, has been
arrested by District Attorney Acker
son in St. Marys hospital. She was
taken to North Tonawanda and ar
raigned before the court that issued the
warrant. The charge against tie: is as
sault on her husband in the first de
gree. She stoutly denies (he charge.
In some respects the Hanner shooting
ease is beginning to resemble the sen
sational incidents uncovered following
the discovery of the first body of the
Belle Gunness farm in Indiana, it was
learned only today that Mrs. Hanner,
now charged with having fired the shots
that nearly killed her husband and se
riously wounded herself, while they
were returning to Niagara Falls from
North 1 onawanda in an automobile
Severn! nights ago, had been married
twice before her marriage to Hanner.
Nineteen years ago she became the
i wife of a man named Weber, in Wel
-1 land. Ont . and several years later, aft
er \\ cber is said to have suddenly
dropped out of sight, she is said to
have tnai ied a man named Green, who
later also disappeared and has not been
heard of since.
Some time ago Mrs. Hanner prevail
ed upon her husband to have bis life
insured for $2,000, the policy being in
her favor. District Attorney Ackerson,
of Niagara county, who is investigating
the case, may cause the arrest of Mrs.
Hanner today. Letters to a certain
' man. in which Mrs Hanner is said to
' have expressed her undying love, have
been found in a tiunk at the Hannei
i home. Mr. Ackerson has a warrant for
the at rest of Mis. Hanner, and is ex
pected to serve it some time today .

POLITICIANS SEE

“OEM HEfiT"
Second Primary Because ot
Tight Battle Between Wood
ward and Chambers.
Today, with the mayoralty primary
but two days off, there is a pretty safe
feeling among the politicians of all fac
tions that a second primary will be
necessary to decide the contest.
Nine men out of ten agree that the
two receiving the highest vole for may
or Wednesday will be Aldine Chambers
and James G. Woodward. One or the
other must receive a majority of all the
votes cast or run a second race.
Should there be a second primary it
would be a bitter fight. All the action
in the present campaign has been con
fined to attacks and counter attacks by
the Chambers and Woodward factions.
Woodward continued today to de
’ nounce Chambers as the “boss of a
I dirty political ring." He said the
Chambers faction had stooped to inject
■ mud-slinging into the campaign, a fact
I he regretted very njych.
Chambers Answers “Ring” Charge.
In a long written statement Cham
bers answered the “ring" charge. Giv
ing a long list of the prominent city
officials. Chambers declared that these
names alone proved the absurdity of
the statement that he bossed them. He
said the charge was a “contemptible
falsehood."
James L. Key. in an advertisement
todav. offers affidavits substantiating
his more bitter charges against Wood
ward. Woodward denounced the
charges as false.
Dr. George Brown and Steve R.
Johnston, the other two candidates,
continue to give out optimistic state
ments of the nt ogress of their cam
paigns and express confidence of vic
tory.
The contest between R. C. Turner
and Fred H Miles for city electrician
almost equals the mayoralty contest in
public interest. Turner has attacked
bitterly the Georgia Rati way and Pow
er Company. He now holds the office
and charges that the company is back
ing Miles.
Charles S. Robert is opposing Chief
of Construction R. M. Clayton. Little
interest has been aroused in the con
test.
Warm Contests For Council.
Neither is there much concern over
the effort of S. B. LaSalle to oust
Thomas Evans, city warden.
The other contests are for council
manic places.
In the Third ward Sam Shepard is
opposing Councilman Carl N. Guess.
In the Fifth ward J. W. Rowe is run
ning against Councilman J. D. Sisson.
In the Seventh ward A. R. Colcord is
fighting for Councilman J. H. Andrews'
seat. In the Eighth ward Joseph Nut
ting is running against Councilman W.
G. Humphrey. In the Ninth ward J. P.
Wall and W. D. White are contesting
for Aldine Chambers’ place. In the
Tenth ward there are three in the race
for Councilman D. J. Baker's seat. A.
W. Calloway, J. T. Kimbrough and D.

A number of other city officials are
running for renomination without op

RIGHSOLDIEROF
FORTUNE SLAIN
Broker Had Been Pauper, Mil
lionaire, Tramp. Revolution
ist and Hubby of Duchess.
JANESVILLE, WIS., Sep:. 30.—From
prince to pauper; from tramp riding in a
box car to millionaire in his own parlor
car; from wheat speculator to South
American revolutionist; from marine in
the United States navy to husband of a
real duchess, is a brief history of Ed
ward L. Dwyer, recently a New York
broker, who was found dead early this
morning with a revolver clasped in his
hand and a bullet through his head.
The police believe he committed suicide.
His friends declare that he was murdered,
and the fact remains that the man who
had one of the most meteoric careers in
the history of the country was drinking
with a tramp shortly after he arrived in
Janesville, notwithstanding he is still
rated a millionaire.
Dwyer's body was found in the rear
of a building near a depot. Twelve
cents, a cheap watch, a key to a hotel
room in Chicago and an empty pocket
book were found in his pockets. His
friends in this vicinity say that he al
ways carried papers of considerable im
portance and a large roll of money.
The absence of these latter items leads
his friends to believe that he was mur
dered and robbed by the tramp with whom
he was seen drinking after he left the
train at Janesville. Where or how he met
the tramp is not known.
Attempted Wheat Corner.
Born in Connecticut about fifty two
years ago, Dwyer was educated by
James X'annetta, former!}' a resident of
Janesville, and at the age of twenty-five
went to Mexico, where he developed 20,000
acres of farm land and built a railroad.
These ventures netted him about $1,000,000
and he then went to Chicago and began
hfs career on the board of trade of that
city. In 1886 he caused a tremendous flur
ry by trying to corner wheat. He bought
1,000,000 bushels, was caught, and lost
everything.
Seeing prospects in Venezuela, provided
he could overthrow the existing gov
ernment. he borrowed money and or
ganized an expedition to start a revo
lution. The United States and Venezuela
governments learned of his plans when
the expedition was on Its way. His arms
and ammunition were seized just as he
was about to land, and he had to flee
for his life. Going first to Brazil, he
later went to Peru, where he engaged in
mining and again made a fortune.
Weds Millionaire Duchess.
Once more returning to the United
States, he started to promote a number of
gigantic mining and colonization schemes,
and ran short of money. While in Flor
ida in 1893 he met the elderly Duchess
DeCastellucia—an American woman who
had married an Italian duke. The duke
died, and his widow, with about $7,000,000
in her own right, was wintering in Flor
ida Dwyer married her. She settled
$350,000 on him to aid his promotion
schemes. She was 73 and he was 33
years old. Nine months later she died,
and bequeathed Dwyer $lO. Dwyer tried
to break her will, but failed.
Going ahead with his mining schemes,
he developed silver mines in the state
of Zactecas. Mexico, which are today said
to be among the richest in the world.
PULASKI TO VOTE ON
LOCAL QUESTIONS IN
ELECTION OCTOBER 2
HAWKINSVILLE. GA., Sept. 30
If the voters next Wednesday put an
other county on the map of Georgia by
creating the county of Bleckley, Pulas
ki will have to elect a county com
missioner. Pulaski's present commis
sioner resides in the Bleckley territory.
P. H. Lovejoy, for many years mayor
of Hawkinsville, and J. D. Humphrey,
chairman of the Democratic executive
committee of Pulaski county, are al
ready in the race. R. O. Pate and D. A.
Bailey may aiso run.
Ihe city court also has stirred the
politicians. Pulaski county has a city
court, inaugurated by the grand jury
ioute. Representative Deese thought
the people wanted to vote on it, and
this issue comes up along with other
matters next Wednesday. The local
bar is divided, with a majority of the
attorneys favorable to continuing the
court.
Now that the county Is to have anew
judge, living in another county, it is
pointed out that It will be much more
convenient to continue the city court
rather than carry litigation to the su
perior court with only two sessions a
year, and a non-resident judge.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Th at

elusion reached here by Dr. Edwari
Bunnell Phelps, editor of The Ame.L t
Underwriter, in an address before J
International Congress of Hygiene anj
Demography.
These figures are confined to adult
deaths and constitute five per cent" o’
the deaths of people of all ages in ti'u
country.
The speaker stated that these figu r „,
were the result of the first serious'a'-'
tempt ever made in this country to ■,
duce to specific figures the number o’
victims alcohol claims every vea
America. There have been 'many
called “estimates.” said Mr. Phe p« hv
people who were prejudiced either on
one side or the other, but these «• »
merely “gusses.” For instance, some
of the prohibitionist actuaries had pz
the number of alcoholic victims in the
United States up to 680,000 a year
These figures Mr. Phelps denounces ..
“absurd."
'Of these deaths from alcohol jf r
Phelps figuies that about twenty p.,-

Tests." Dr. James A. McCurdy, of th-
Y. M. C, A. training school. SpringSe’l
Mass., stated that “diseases of the ne
vous system, of the heart and of the
kidneys are increasing under modern
conditions among high school pupils.-
A striking series of studies: rep'e
senting four years' work with hign
school boys by Dr. McCurdy was sum
marized in his paper before the con
gress. Children formerly learned by
aiding their parents, now they learn by
going to school. They now use chieflv
the highly specialized muscles used m
speaking, writing and close vision,
rather than the large muscles of the
tiunk and legs. The school activity?
have markedly reduced the activities
related to health and have Increased
those which tend toward disease Dr.
McCurdy showed the necessity of hav
ing the large basal muscles of the legs
and trunk sound and strong if we
would have the individual healthy from
the standpoint of the nervous system.
"In America, with characteristic dis
regard of our natural resources, we
have not protected and conserved our
child life," was the declaration of Miss
Clara D. Noyes, general superintendent
of training schools of Bellevue hospita,
New York city.
Importance of Midwife.
"We have not recognized the mid
wife,” continued Miss Noyes, "as a nec
essary part of our social structure. At
tempts have been made from time to
time to eliminate her, always unsuc
cessfully, however. We have closed
our eyes and let her alone, without
means of education and without ade
quate laws for control and supervision
“In the United States in 1910 there
were 154,373 babies who died before
they were one year old.
“In facing this appalling early
slaughter of the innocent,” said Miss
Noyes, “we can not figure a single con
tributing factor. The conclusion of the
whole matter seems to lie in Intelligent
motherhood, since this is the case, and
we are aware that 50 per cent of all the
births are attended by a class of un
taught and untrained women, who, as a
rule, are densely ignorant and unspeak
ably dirty, we are neglecting at the
fountalr head the health and possible
wealth of our nation. The midwife, for
whom no opportunity for education has
been provided, can not be expected to
teach to mothers that which she her
self has never been taught."
