Finding Many Unprepared--Nove!ty Big Event for Old and Young, Atlanta’s first white Thanksgiving hc the memory of man brought shouts from the small boy and cries of “00-o beautiful!” from his grown-up sister. The snow-clad trees and the radiance of the sunshine sparkling on the icy foliage was a scene to delight the soul of a painter. Hut the earliest snow on record In Atlanta brought with it something more than fun and beauty. There was cold in the cabins of the poor, the searching, biting cold which comes only with a snow storm. There was lack of food In many of these homes of the humble. There were hundreds of families who saw only the bread of charity for their Thanksgiving dinner, while all the world seemed feasting on turkey and oyster dressing. The white feast day was a black fast day for many an Atlanta child. Early in the day the line began to form at tile office of City Warden Thomas Evans. Most of the others of the city hall force had taken a holiday, but when the first flakes fell last night the warden knew there would be no holiday for him. He was at his desk I today before most of Atlanta had I sipped its breakfast coffee, but the ! I poor were even earlier than he. At the Associated Charities the de mands for aid show no apparent in ' crease early in the day. The snow brought demands for immediate re lief, and the sufferers Evidently pre ferred the coal and food from the war den'.l/ office to the prospect of more lasting aid from the association. Sec retary Logan said the snow would be too temporary to cause much suffer ing. He did not anticipate an In creased demand of more than ten per cent. 500 MASONS OF HIGH DEGREE WILL HOLD REFECTION TONIGHT Five hundred members of the Masons of the Scottish Rile in Atlanta will gather at their sixth general convoca tion refection (annual banquet) to night at 8 o’clock at the Piedmont.

COUGIIWILL BK Ordinance To Be Passed at Next Meeting to Prohibit These Gambling Devices. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO TAKE IT UP TOMORROW Councilman Charles W. Smith, i-nair man of the council committee on leg islation. said today that an ordinance would be passed at the next rm ( ting of council absolutely prohibiting the use of slot gambling machines in sa loons and locker clu) ? "I have called a meeting of the com- I mittee on legislation for tomorrow aft- i ernoon at 2 o'clock.” lie said. “At that ' ' meeting an ordinance wiping out this infamous system undoubtedly will be ( adopted. From the expressions of tiie other members of the committee. Al- I dermen James E. Warren and John S. . Candler,” Councilmen Claude C. Mason and Clarence Haverty, 1 feel sure 'hat ' they think as I do. I “We ?vould have considered this mat ter at the meeting of tin- committee 1 Tuesday, but no quorum was present. 1 Aiderman Candler, as acting mayor, is 1 so busy that he may not be able to at tend the meeting tomorrow. Council- 1 man Haverty is out of tiie city and is not expected back by that time. But ' the other three of us are sufficient to formally recommend an ordinance to ; council, and T think council wiil adopt I the ordinance forthwith.” • Hands Tied, Beavers Save. Police Chief Beavers said the slot , machines are tiie most cunning gam bling device ever used in Atlanta. He said he had not proceeded against them because W. I). Ellis, Jr., assistant city attorney, had signed a written agree ment witli John W. Moore, attorney for the Atlanta Gum Company, which owns a large number of the machines, that the city would not prosecute any of the ‘owners of the machines for gambling until the higher courts decided whether the operation of such machines was a game of chance. With proper legal instructions, Chief Beavers said he would at once stoj all use of the machines. The opinion of W. G. Humphrey, chairman of the police committee of council, is that the machines should be barred from saloons and locker clubs, whether they are gambling devices or not. Regardless of the phase of the ' law with which Attorney Ellis is deal ing, members of council have decided to stop this gambling through their au thority to regulate the conduct of near beer saloons and locker clubs.
