2 Country Perils to Girls Greater Than City’s, Says Evelyn Wren, Pointing Moral of Poison Mystery HER FATE IS A FLAMING WARNING, SAYS VICTIM’S PASTOR I CHIEF EAGER FOfl SUB-STATIONS FDR POLICE leavers. Head of Police, De clares Idea Can Be Put Into Effect With Little Cost. J < Atlanta ran establish two or three police sub-station:- in sections where they are most needed practically with out cost to the city, according to Chief !J. L. Beavers, who agrees heartily with The Georgian’s recent editorial point- H ing out the urgent need of sub stations. He showed today Just where these could be located, how much they would do to relieve the present situa tion and how trifling would be the ex pense. "All we would need for a sub-station would be a small brick building, say 20 by 30 feet, with a desk for the sergeant, a place for a call officer to sit, a tele phone and two or three steel cells, and we have the cells ready now." said the chief. "Three such stations would help enormously tn covering Atlanta with our present force. Fire Stations Suggested. "The suggestion that the city tire houses might be used as sub-stations is very good from our standpoint, but | • the noise of an all-night station might interfere with the firemen who must sleep in their engine houses,” he con tinued. “But there are several engine | houses which do not covet all the land where they are situated, and It would ■ cost but a trifle to erect small separate buildings for the police stations. This is true of the Seventh ward station at Whitehall and Oak streets, where there is a large lot. This would make a fine site for a sub-station. It is als . true of the engine house at DeKalb ami More land avenues, another section where a sub-station could be established. "But even if these places are not available, the city might rent small brick buildings, vacant stores or other structures, and fit them up as police stations. We have a number of steel cells left from the old exposition station which can be used again. "All such a sub-station needs would be a sergeant in charge, one call officer in the day and two at night, it would be an Improvement, even if all these men were taken from our regular force, without additional expense. The pay I. of a sergeant is only $lO a month more than a patrolman’s. Could Walk Prisoners. "AU tiie patrolmen detailed to that portion of the city would report on and off at th'- sub-station and come to headquarters only when they had cases to try or for other business. Prisoners could be held at the sub-stations over night or until the patrol auto could call for them and transfer them to head quarters. The sub-stations would save many miles of patrol wagon driving, foi usually a policeman could 'walk' pris oners to a nearby station without cull- I ing the patrol. "A prisoner arrested for some trivial matter or under circumstances not warranting arrest would bo assured more fair treatment at a sub-station than at the central station undet pres ent congested conditions. As it is now there is such a rush nt the window that the officer in charge can not take the proper time to investigate a case or to question a prisoner closely, and it often happens that a man is locked up when B. he would have been released had a suf ficient time been taken to investigate his ease. This can not be helped with only one station. Many Locations Feasible. "The best locations for such stations would be: "One at North avenue and Marietta street. This would take care of all the Fifth ward, out to the mill district, a | large part of the Eighth ward and the r territory clear out to Piedmont park. "One at a point near Peters and Whitehall str. , t. which would cover the territory from Peters street clear out to Oakland City, Pittsburg. Battle Hill and over into < part of the Second ward. “One nvai the Georgia railroad, say opposite the Fulton Bag and Cotton mills, which would .over the big terri k tory in the Ninth ward, the Inman Park section and all that side of the city. "With thorn thie.- stations we could improve the st rvic, greatly w ithout ad ditional cost to the taxpayers. Os e, course, wt need mort men We have always needed mon men. but I think r we can get on with but comparatively few more." Figures furnished by tin police dt ■ partinent show how difficult it is tor the force to cove the city efficiently under the present system Few Men Are Active. Atlanta has an estimated population of 175,000 persons —the new directory even makes it 225,000. It hits an area of 27 square miles to be covered, and its policemen must patrol 410 miles, an average of one officer to each two miles, as there are only 200 on active patrol 1 duty. The total number of arrests runs from 15,000 to 20,000 a year The Atlanta police force looks large from a glance at the pay roll, with Its 300 names, but there are 102 of these who are not on activr stteet duty, (if the 200 patrolmen, only one-third are on duty at once. Here are the men on the police roll Lwho are not acitv fly engaged in patrol Work, though they are all necessary parts of the system: t....|, as.-i.-tant chief, tn r< <• ■. apt.itr. The Heart- Breaking Story of Pretty Min nie Marchman’s Love and the Lesson in Her Final Spurning of Her Sweetheart as She Lay I)ying--Pity Only For Her Loyal Mother. Continued From Page One. reward." without the thought that per haps the price she has paid, terrible as it is, may serve a purpose like that which has come down through the ages from Mount Calvary. The Belle of Amboy was probably just an ordinary country lass, endowed, it is likely, with more attractiveness than brains, with the same thoughts, the sarffe impulses, the same passions of the rest of the maids of her type. Her temptations were probably no more alluring than those thab beset the com mon run of rural maid and the mis ery that followed was Just the misery that is suffered by hundreds of poor, weak women each year. But there was a difference. Death came and called attention to her case. The scores of others similarly betrayed have to live through a thousand deaths. Death is a wonderful thing. It is as wonderful as it is unknown. It has powers unpossessed by any human en ergy in its silent entity. Not until the very shadow of the electric chair cast its awful reflection in the cell of the doomed Henry Clay Beattie did he re volt against going to the grave with the lie, protesting his innocence, on his lips. Not until all hope had glimmered away did the murderous preacher. Richeson, once more see his God and confess his crime. And not until the fingers of the Grim Reaper had preseed In clammy contact around her heart did this little Georgia girl find courage to denounce the man who had ruined her, and by so doing renounce his love. City and Country Perils. It was an old, old story, except for the tragic denouement of the suspicion of poison. Tile poisoning has little or nothing to do with it. save that if its trace is found It may allow the law to avenge the girl and punish the man whose crime Is already black. She had loved him. She loved him probably until the very moment when she at last realized that earthly hope was gone and she would have to an swer to a Creator, Who, she had been taught before she had known of mortal love, was all love, all forgiving. It's rather a shock to some that this condition came to pass in the country, it s hardly m keeping with the words of moralists, who have for years dwelled on the iniquities of the city as against the snow-white purity of the rural districts. But to my mind I think our city girls are far more safe from a fate like that which the Amboy Belle met than her sister of the country. In the first place, as carefully as we can guard our girls ol the city, they know more of the dan gers that lurk for a maiden with pretty face and attractive form than the ru ral lass. She Is less likely to pay se rious attentions to the blandishments of men She is far better able to pro test hersfflf. And. then, her life where there are varied amusements will naturally pre vent tier from centering her entire be ing on tills one man. A city girl can love Just as Well, but is likely to love mor. wisely than tin- sweetheart of tile meadow s. How this little Amboy Belle's being must have been devoted to Cleghorn! She was not without suitors. There are always plenty of them In the coun try for a pretty miss. There are rare ly enough pretty girls to go around in rural communities. But still she put them all out of her life for tills man, listened to his promise of marriage, believed in him still even though he had once disappointed her when she sup posed the ceremony would take place. She continued to believe in him un til death beckoned. But there is still a sweetness in the story, and as long as heart beats in response to heart, there will be tears shed for the mother, taking in her arms the dying girl, whispering to her those words of comfort, forgiveness and love that probably lighted her way into a better World. Who knows? CITY YOUTHS' PHYSIQUE BEATS COUNTRY BOYS' COLUMBIA, MO., Nov 16.—Men from farms attending the University of Missouri are inferior physically to the students’from cities, according to O. F.

T. Pas chal and Flagman A. M. Morgan rein stated in their former positions on th. Georgia railroad may come today, though the board will probably an nounce no decision for a number'of days to come. During the session Friday practically every witness for the road was intro duced and a number of those called upon by Superintendent Brand were used by Vice President Murdock to prove his point that every conductor and engineer on t]ie Georgia road vio lated the speed laws constantly and with tile knowledge of the road offi cials Time after time Superintendent Brand would call upon conductors and engineers who would testify they had never been given authority to exceed the speed law. Then Murdock would prove by the same witnesses that trains upon which officials were riding had exceeded the speed limit by many miles per hour and had also broken the six teen-hour law at various times. The ambiguity of a rule pertaining to tiie sixteen-hour law issued by Super intendent Brand caused much discus sion throughout the day, and if Paschal wins his case it will be because of the wording of th’s order for men caught by the expiration of their sixteen hours of work. This point was stressed many times by Murdock during the day, and especlaly during the afternoon when many employees were irttroduced as witnesses. A number of engineers and conduc tors testified that they could make the run between Conyers and Lithonia in twelve minutes, while others swore that it was impossible to do so with a train as large as that which was under Paschal's charge when he made the violation. Train sheets for the six months pre ceding tl;e discharge of Paschal will be SUIT OVER NOSE WON BY FATHER AND SON ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.—The suit of Dr, J.

Tiie police suspect the robber is tile same who Irtis held up several women in that district recently. Introduced today. Murdock hopes to prove by tills that other employees had constantly violated rules and had not been discharged. He contends, how- i ever, that Paschal is not guilty of an infraction of the rules and should not have been discharged.

Cell Main 11S0. (Advertisement.) JACKETS W FOR GEORGIA IM Plucky Tech Team Will Enter the Fray Outweighed, But Full of Fighting Spirit. Georgians they faced the guns gallant ly. Early in the forenoon they started from the campus in a body. Cow. bells rang, horns were blown, the yells cracked out, the songs had spirit and the band tooted away. But that was all.. It was difficult to find even the most loyal underclass man who would predict victory. For before them loomed the bugaboo of McWhorter. Bob McWhorter, the man who had twice in as many' years by his single strength robbed them of victory, hung over the Tech campus a grim and ghastly nightmare. But Then Looms Up Bob McWhorter, With McWhorter out of the way, the Jackets believe they would have an even chance with their rivals, despite the tremendous advantage possessed by Georgia in weight and driving power. But it has been reasoned that no Southern team, with the exception of the wonderful Vanderbilt machine, has been able to hold McWhorter. His tre mendous running strength, his elusive dodging prowess, his indomitable cour age, his practical imperviousness to hurt have made a combination that has remained unsolved for two years. He wili be the center of the fight today. On him Georgia depends. It is he that Tech fears. Spectacular football was assured ear ly today. The fates could not have been fairer in furnishing the weather. Ideal football conditions prevailed. The sun was shining a regular holiday face. The weather was crisp, but not too cold, while the wind was not of a nature to give either side any' tremendous ad vantage in the punting duels. Atlanta, too, had taken on a holiday garb. Practically every show window sported the colors of the two colleges. Long before the streets were crowded with gay equippages and the sun had not reached its meridian before the pil grimage to Ponce DeLeon began. Bet ting was light, with Georgia a 5-4 fa vorite, with few takers, WOMAN TRIES TO DIE BY CAR_AND STRING CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—Arrested for trying to kill herself.

ATLANTA, OA. “She Had a Big, Affec tionate Heart,” Says Rev.B.F.Rainey, “and Her Fate Should Be a Lesson to Other Minnie Marchmans.” Urges Every Girl to Really Know the Man She Loves. ASHBURN, GA., Nov. 16.—" The trag ic fate of this poor, confiding girl should point a flaming warning to all young girls and cause them to think seriously before putting their trust in men of whose real character they know noth ing.” This lesson from the mysterious deal of Miss Minnie Marchman, the seven teen-year-old belle of Amboy district, is drawn by Rev. B. F. Rainey, the dead girl’s pastor. Mr. Rainey Is head of the flock at Pleasant Hill Baptist, a pic turesque little country church, where Miss Marchman was a regular attend ant. The girl is said to have possessed a modest, lovable disposition and was held In the highest esteem by her pas tor, to whom .she also was much at tached. In speaking of her death, the minister manifested much emotion. An Affectionate Heart. "Minnie was a good girl, with a big. affectionate heart, and her untimely end comes as a great shock to this whole community," said Mr. Rainev. "Os course, we don’t know yet that she was poisoned, but the circumstances of her death are such as to act as a terri ble warning to other unsuspecting gir.s who may be in peril. She loved and hoped to become a good wife. But her confidence in man—in the man she loved and fairly worshiped—was too strong. “This is the history of many such girls. They trust too much. If the girls of today would only hesitate a moment and profit by the sad expe rience of some other unfortunate sister there wouldn’t be so much suffering among womankind. They Must Be Sure. "There are other Minnie Marchmans —girls pure and sweet —who love with all of the force of their affectionate be ings, and now is the time for them to guard their footsteps—before it is too late. Now is the time to ascertain whether the man on whom they are bestowing their wealth of love is worthy of so great a fortune. “They should inquire into their own consciences and listen to its dictates. They should be sure they are dealing with men—real men. "The saddest feature to me of this whole tragedy is the fact that this sweet girl was taken advantage of in such an awful way. it is a heart breaking blow to her parents in partic ular and to her friends. She was agb much admired, and was a girl who va always loyal to her friends. “We can but hope that this violent ending of this young life may serve to hold the footsteps of some other tender maiden in the right path.” “COCAINE KING” DIES IN POLICE COURT CELL ST.
