Fifty pastors, members of the At lanta Evangelical Ministers association, met today at the First Baptist church and agreed to further the work of the Men and Religion Forward Movement by giving not only money, but per sonal effort toward reclaiming lost women and those on the brink. ’’Friendly visitors,” men and women from various churches, who will call on girls or at such homes as are suggest ed by the men's executive committee, were suggested by John J. Egan, of the movement. He made this suggestion in response to an appeal from several ministers that they might learn just what definite aid could be given. Sounds Warning Note. Reports of the churches as to the amounts collected yesterday' for the "Martha home” were asked, but only a few churches were ready to report, though the secretary called the roll of every church in the city and suburbs. Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, of the English Lutheran church, sounded a note of warning when he spoke of the situa tion. "Atlanta has been enthusiastic over closing the ‘district,’ ” he said. “But there will be a revulsion of feeling if we let these women go, out into the street, half-clad and destitute, as Chi cago did.

Buford, who has been the active missionary worker for the move ment, opened a little book filled with the names of women he has visited. He told the stories of several of these to show how effective had been the work of the movement. In passing, he spoke of a picture theater near White hall and Mitchell streets. “I could take you to that little thea ter and show you young girls dancing, clad in such costumes that a decent man would not care to look twice," he said. “We took one beautiful young girl from that life, after four weeks of hard work. We placed her in an In stitution, and then, I am sorry’ to say, we forgot her. She «-ent back, and it was only after a hard effort that we saved her again. She is now at work.” The question of having each church look after cases in its own district was discussed, but the meeting closed after a resolution to the effect that the churches would co-operate with the Men and Religion Forward Movement and let the executive committee attend to the details. lish this,” he pleaded, as he confessed that the y’oung woman had reaped some of the benefits of the money.

Sloan admits he was present when the peddler was slain, but says Risley did the killing, afterwards giving him about SBO of the stolen gold “to keep his mouth closed.” CHAMBERS URGES DEMOCRATS VOTE In a formal statement today, Aldine Chambers, defeated candidate for the mayoralty nomination, announced that he would vote for James G. Woodward, the Democratic nominee, in the general election, and he urged all his friends to do likewise, Mr. Chambers said he did not think there was any serious opposition from the Socialists, but that it was the duty of all Democrats to give Mr. Woodward a unanimous vote. J. O. Cochran, secretary of the city Democratic executive committee, to day wrote all the members of the com mittee to come out to the polls at the election Wednesday and work for a representative Democratic vote. Mr. Woodward insisted today that at least 3.000 Democrats must come out and vote in the general election on Wednesday, because he had been re liably informed that a conspiracy had been formed to fuse the negro and So cialist votes in an effort to defeat him.
