VICE WAR CONTINUES IF
MASON SUPPORTS CHIEF
Despite Election of Woodward, t
Chambers Men Hold Control
of Police Board.
The nomination of James G. Wood
ward for mayor of Atlanta will have no
effect on Police Chief Beavers' war on
the tenderloin and the vice crusade will .
continue—ls Carlos Mason, chairman of '
the police board, gives it his support.
The executive committee of thg Men
and Religion Forward Movement and
leaders of the chambers campaign gave
the impression before the primary that
the nomination of Woodward would
mean the end of Beavers, as chief ot '
police.
Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the po.
lice commission and who will continue
to control a good majority of the com
mission despite Woodward’s election,
said Imlay that he was going’ to do all
he could to give Chief Beavers a fair
show H» said that Chief Beavers is
sued the order agaimfi the "houses in
our midst" upon his own Initiative, but !
that the police commission would eon- I
tiinie to support him unless his plan
proved i failure.
Will Give Him
Sufficient Time
"Chief Beavers.l* going io Ims. <ilf

Chairman Mason. "For my part, I want
to do what is best for Atlanta. I tin
not seeking any political fight and
don't expect one. If t'hlef Beavers' plan
proves to he an improvement, we will
stand by It. ti e are going to support I
him unless his plan proves a failure."
Mayor-elect Woodward has praetf

Chief Eieavors But Chairman Mason,
with Ills suppotters, will continue to
control the police force after Wood
ward takes hts office on January 1.
Os the commission of twelve mem
bers which has absolute control of the
police department, the mayor has one
membership and the appointment of
another, the chai man of the police
committee of council.
Os the present membership of the
police commission ten are openly Ma
son men. Two. W. G. Humphrey, are
appointees of the mayor as chairman
of the police committee, and Robert C.
Clarke are Independents. When chief
Beavers, through the influence of
Chairman Mason, was elevated to his
present position, only Commissioners
Humphrey and Clarke voted against
him. They voted for Assistant Chief
Jett.
Key Seems To Be
In Mason s Hands.
There ate one or two lukewarm Ma
.-on men on the board, hut at most,
from the present attitude of the mem
be's. Woodward could not possiblv get
mote than five votes against Chairman
Mason.
