In a written statement to the Evan- i cehca' Ministers association and the' .Men and Religion Forward Movement, I ,\lr. chambers said he resented some of former Men and Religion adver tisements because they gave him no credit fo' past endeavors to live an' upright life. Referring to the resolu- I tlon adopted by the Evangelical Min- | inters association, urging him to slip- | port Chief Beavers, as “tjignified and j considerate.” he said: He Also Sees a Ring. J have never had any intention of doing otherwise than support Chief Janies L Reavers in the discharge of his duty. Every impulse of my life i leads that way. That any man should I doubt it is regretted-by me. Without! reference to the wisdom of his action. I •yes/ I will sustain him without fear ; or favor.” Declaring that every thinking man knows that the charge that he is the head of a “ring” is untrue, he charged ; that the "ring” that is trying to get control of the city is a “ring” of gam blers and violators of the ’aw. who are backing Mr. James G. Woodward in his race.” Ho charged that this ring is headed by Charles C. Jones and that, if he is elected, he will see "that this man does i not reap any further benefit from the Infamous traffic in which he has been so long a dealer."

If nine of the leading political and business men of Atlanta were given free rein with the city government at the same time there would be eight different systems of business manage ment. That fact was demonstrated last night at the Chamber of Commerce dinner, held to discuss Atlanta’s finan cial problem. Only two of the nine speakers believed In raising the tax rate 1 1-2 per cent. Each of the other seven had a remedy indorsed by him self alone. Judge John S. Candler and Alex W. Smith advocated the tax rate increase; Eugene R. Black believes in greater efficiency among city employees; Judge i Hillyer believes in indiscriminating ap. portionment of funds; F. A. Quillian wants the tax rate increased, the as sessments lowered, so as to stop pay ing so much to the state; E. V. Car ter advocated a special school tax; General A. J. West wants commission government, and V. K. Krtegshaber be lieves In civil service examinations for city employeeji. It is doubtful if a more represent*- j five body of men could be assembled 'than that at the dinner last night, and | It Is cartain that a no wider diversity of opinion could exist among the lead ers of Atlanta as to the solution of Atlanta's financial problem. Judge Candler opened the argument by detailing what Atlanta needs. "What are you going to do about ttT’ he asked as he sat down. Some of the things Atlanta urgently needs, he said, are three fire stations, more police men, Improvements for hospitala, more schools and teachers, more sewers, bet ter streets, bridges, cyclorama, audito rium improvements and other things ha, said he could barely mention. Eugene R. Black, In answering Judge Candler, advocated a bond issue whan mare money is needed by the city, but declared thxt the burden upon the peo ple is as great as they can bear. “A maximum income and minimum effi ciency” was the way he characterized the situation. The other speakers sll advocated Im mediate improvement In the Atlanta streets, but each developed some new need of the city, until at last it seemed that Atlanta should be wiped out and made al) over again. More than 300 citizens were present and all believed that the meeting would mark a new era in civic advancement. President Wilmer L. Moore, of the Chamber of Commerce, presided. john wTgrantls MADE A DIRECTOR OF SOUTHERN RY.
