■Chief Will Aid Chamber of
Commerce Committee to
Limit Pistol Sale.
PAWNBROKERS' SHOPS
WILL BE REGULATED
Tl.v •w.iw.ent to restrict .:>■ sale of
firearms in Atlanta, urged by the pub
lic safety committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, was received with wide
i favor throughout the city today and
| n i l ived the emphatic indorsement of
Chief of Police Beaver®.
The plan as outlined by the commit
| tee will be passed upon by city council.
| It will give to Chief Beavers the power
jto issue permits tc ail who wish to
| purchase revolvers, and no person
{ without such a prenut will be allowed
|to purchase. All dealers will be re
; quire d to report on the sale of firearms
and show the permits as issued by the
chief of police.
Hardware Men
Join Crusade
Even the hard.e. art dealers, who will
be most affected by the limitation im
posed upon wouie-oe purchasers, are
j enthusiastically in favor of the plan,
j Many believe it will materially lessen
! indiscriminate killings in Atlanta.
;. Chief' Beavers declared, his belief that
| the move will go a long way toward
i redijeiug the number of hoifiiddes. £t
| lanta is now fifth in the list of prooii
j.nen'i AmeriCfln cities in the number of
fhomic ides, and officials generally assert
i that something must be done to remedy
; the situation and reduce Atlanta's
i bloody and unenviable record.
j The chief believes the most feasible
; plan would be the adoption of an ordi
{ nanqe requiring ail purchasers of pis
jtols to present references from a given
i number of good citizens, testifying that
[the purchaser is peaceable, law abiding
land sober. He also urges that the ordi.
! nance go further and specify as one of
{the conditions that the pistol must not
| be removed from the premises of the
{ owner.
The chief believes this law would fit
ir. adrrtirably with the state law, which
already prohibits absolutely the carry
ing of a concealed pistol, and requires
that a special license be obtained from
the ordinary before a pistol can even
I be carried openly in the hand.
Following the disclosure of results of
I pistol ‘'toting” in Atlanta and the
South, as shown in statistics recently
published by The Georgian, which
showed that Atlanta was fifth in homi
cide rate in the South, the committee of
public safety of the Chamber of Com
mittee is today in open war on the in
discriminate sale of firearms in the
city. The city council will be asked to
restrict the sale, as The Georgian sug
gested, and a resolution to this effect
was passed.
Chairman J. W. Lowenstein, of
the committee, read lette's from five of
the leading hardware companies in the
city, and of these four were in favor of
forbidding the purchase of a pistol un
iless the purchaser has a permit from
the chief of police. Letters of inquiry
were addressed all of them several days
ago and the letters were in answer to
the inquiry. One concern favored al
lowing all firearm traffic except pistols.
Final action on the resolution to
i council was delayed until the next
meeting of the committee, when Chief
of Police Beavers will be asked to ap
pear before them and explain the best
method of restricting the traffic in
small firearms. The resolution aims
directly at pistols and will not mate
rially affect the sale of shotguns and
rifles.
Pawn Shops
Held Responsible.
The committee believes that pawn
shops are largely responsible for the
sale of cheap pistols, placing the dan
gerous weapons within the purchasing
power of even the poorest negro. The
hardware firms also believe this to be
true.
Secretary Walter G. Cooper read the
statistics, similar to those which ap
peared recently In The Georgian, show
ing that Atlanta stood fifth among the
cities of the South with 29.8 homicides
per 100,000 of population during 1911.
Memphis is first with 63, Charleston
has 42, Savannah 37 and Nashville 35.

TREMBLING AT THE HALL
AS KEEN AX IMPENDS
Closely studying the city's pay roll
in his office today, James G. Woodward,
mayoralty nominee, declared that the
salary budget could be cut several
thousand dollars, and that he was go
ing to have it cut or let the people
know why.
“I wonder how many city hall em
ployees would quit if their salaries were
cut 25 per cent,” he said, as he laughed.
He said the $3,000,000 bond issue wae
practically spent and that the addi
tional help employed to spend thi®
money could be dropped. F. A. Quillian,
who received $2,000 a yenr as chairman
of the bond commission, is now working
for nothing. Council has already dis
continued his salary.

”1 haven't gone far enough yet to b®
able to point specifically where money
can be saved,” continued Mr. Wood
ward “but too many political debt®
have been paid with jobs. If council
doesn't remedy the trouble, the peopl®
will vote commission government or
something equally as radical. Instead
of paying political debts, the money i®
needed on streets.
"The pay roll of the' city has ins
creased tremendously since I was mayj
or."
Jokingly. Mr. Woodward went
through some of the departments and
pointed out instances where political
debts were paid and wnere relatives of,
influential politicians had been given
office. But be asked that his remark®
should not be quoted.
“I may find that some that look lik®/
sinecures are very necessary offices,” h®
said. “I favor employing every per-1
son for a city job who is needed, t
think they ought to get 25 per cent
more for the same work than em- >
ployees for private concerns, because of
the hazards of public office.
“But they ought not to receive 50 pet
cent more.”
Expecting the political ax, many - city
hall employees who openly supported
Councilman Aldine Chambers for may
or are trembling in their shoes. They
are exerting every resource to bring
influence to bear to stay the wrath of
“Uncle Jim.” If any attempt is mad®
to disconnect them from the city treas
ury there is sure to be a fight.
“Outside nf competency, I will reo
ognize no title to an office, except elec
tion by the people,” Mr. Woodward
warned. “Where officials are elected
by tho people I have nothing to say<
But the people don’t elect the subordi
nate employees of departments. They
elect a mayor to see to it that the right
sort of men are given the places. AuJ
I am not going to recognize the vote
getting power of men as a requisite t®
holding a city job.”
When asked what he could do if
council refused to sustain him, he said
that he would mark out the men from
the salary whom he considered un
necessary. He said if council refused
to back him up he had the alternative
of refusing to sign cheeks, for the may
or signs all checks.
Bitter Clash
Seems Inevitable.
With the city hall practically solid
against Mr. Woodward at the begin
ning of the campaign, it is Interesting
to watch the change of affiliations.
Some of the councilmen voted for him.
but a lot more are inclined to support
him now. Councilman Chambers and
the other members known as the Cham
bers faction have held out the oliva
branch.
But Mr. Woodward has attacked th®
crematory contract. He now starts out
to thin tiie pay roll.
A bitter clash is inevitable.
Aiderman A. H. Van Dyke said today
that he would support a veto of the
mayor if Mr. Woodward vetoed next .
