Mr Th* following letter from heaver* and the interview w (Mark Howell explain theimclvea: Atlanta, Ga.. May 27. My attention hn.s been called to an article in the Sunday papers in which an interview with me makes it appear that 1 whs at tacking Mr. (Mark Howell person ally and his policy with The Con stitution. I only repeated the conversation 1 had with him on the next day after he returned from Panama on about March 1. this year. 1 meant no reflection on Mr. Howell, but only had reference to certain local rejwrtw In his paper, and he now assures me that there was no intention on hie part to discredit the work which 1 have h. en trying to do in this city, ami that the article that appeared in the reportorial columns of Tim « onstitution was without his knowledge unri consent, and that it was not his intention nor doc* he approve of anything that would in the least hinder or dis credit the work that the police department has ben trying to carry out. I would regret very much In deed to have any utterance of mine construed into an attack up on Mr. Howell, whom l have al ways regarded, >nd now esteem, as an exemplary citizen and jour nalist who hokis the merited confidence of the public, as he does of my department and of mvself. J. L BEAVERS; < Miief of Police. In reference to Chief Beavers' statement Ml. Howell said: "During my absence in Panama In January a police raid was made ort a certain downtown rooming hotel. The Constitution next morning lo cally reported the affair and the fact that a man and his wife were sub jected to undue treatment, with com ment from the inadvertent victims and the manager of the hotel. "When 1 returned from Panama the C’hief con>plained of the local report referred to. I explained to him that nothing was further from our Inten tion than to discredit his w’ork. and that following The Constitution’s oft- lepeated commendation of his high senae of duty in endeavoring to en force the law. he would have our cor dial support to’ that end. "He thanked me. recalling the fart that two days after the houses were closed 1 had sent for him to te.ll him that his attitude would have The Con stitution's support. "Next morning—September 26 The < 'onstltutlon's leading editorial. ‘A Wholesome Example,’ unqualifiedly approved the (Miief as 'an official with the nerve and the courage to enforce the law.' stating that ‘he has set a singularly wholesome example of a blunt interpretation of duty.’ "1 am still of the opinion that no good citizen would invite the return of the segregated district, nor the spread <»f Its attendant evil in other direction#. In my talk with the Chief 1 expressed my doubt as to his ability to absolutely eliminate the evil, and while the segregated district has been closed we are still wrestling with other phases of the problem. "I think the (Miief Is doing the best can. and he -hould have the sup port of all good citizen# in his ef forts.” Lei Me End Your Tooth | Troubles Absolutely Painlessly Gtve yourself the gift of ! complete relief from aching, decayed teeth by coming to me now.
