2 POLICE NET NOW OUT FOR MEN IN FIGHT ON DICE Police to Arrest Men in Chief Beavers' War on the Illegal 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 ew er Father Hears Son Lauded. 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: "Our heroic and courageous police chief has submitted us the Puritan proposition.'

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.

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.

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.

POLITICIANS SEE INMAYOR’SHACE “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.

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.

FEW And Thirty Per Cent Are W o . men, Insurance Editor Tells Hygiene Congress. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Th at 000 deaths due to alcohol occur ann , ly in the United States, was the con 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.,- cent of them are women. Weakness in Pupil?. in his address on "physical Efficient Tests." Dr. James A. McCurdy, of th- Y. M.

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.
