Recorder Pro Tem Preston Backs
Chief Beavers in War Against
Reckless Drivers.
GOLDSTEIN SLAYER IS BAILED
Dead Man's Relatives Protest
Against Release of Mechani
cian—Promise Prosecution.
Recorder Pro Tem W. H. Preston,
who is serving on the Police Court
bench in the absence of Recorder
Broyles, Saturday afternoon placed
himself squarely behind the police in
the warfare being waged against uu-
toists who are daily violating the
muffler cut-out law and other city
ordinances regulating automobile
.traffic over Atlanta's congested
streets.
Commending the crusade now un
der way by Chief Beavers, Judge
Preston announced that all offend
ing autoists caught by the police will
be given the limit of the law, no mat
ter who they may be. This means
that the gates of the stockade have
opened for all careless and reckless
auto drivers. Asserting that the au
tomobile laws are being flagrantly
violated and declaring that they must
be observed, Judge Preston said that
no quarter would be shown.
At the afternoon session of court,
Judge Preston fixed a bond of $5,000
for P. A. Curtis, the young mecha
nician who drove the car Friday aft
ernoon that ran down and killed Sam
uel Goldstein, of No. 33G Washington
street, just after Goldstein had alight
ed from a trolley car at Washington
and Crumley streets. Curtis had been
held without bond up to this time.
He will be given a preliminary hear
ing next Thursday afternoon in Po
lice Court.
Relatives of Goldstein, who have
announced they intend to prosecute
Curtis vigorously, had previously ask
ed Judge Preston over the telephone
to deny bail. Several witnesses tes
tified that Curtis drove past the car
while it was at a standstill. His
speed was estimated at from 12 to 20
miles. Curtis made no statement, al
though earlier in the day he said his
brakes failed to work and that he
tried in very way possible to avoid
the accident.
Police Vigilance Is Urged.
Judge Preston urged the police to
take especial pains to enforce the
law requiring a itos to come to a full
stop behind trolley cars when the
latter are receiving or discharging
passengers. He characterized this as
the most vital of all the auto laws,
and remarked that, according to re
ports, it was such an offense against
this law that resulted in the tragic
death Friday afternoon of Goldstein,
who was run down in Washington
street just after he had alighted from
a car.
Chief Beavers declared Saturday
that the present wanton disregard of
automobile laws must cease. He is
sued a warning that offenders will be
vigorously prosecuted. With the
backing of the Police Court assured
by Judge Preston, the war on speed
fiends will be waged aggressively.
Judge Promises His Support.
Judge Preston said:
“The dangers from automobiles in
Atlanta are manifold, because of the
great number here and the narrow,
congested streets. The time has come
when it is imperative that all lav*s
regulating the running of autos must
be observed. These laws are design
ed for the protection and safety of
our citizens, and hence their im
portance. The police will certainly
have the backing of Police Court in
the enforcement of these laws, and
all offenders brought before the bar
will be given the limit.
"It is nothing short of an outrage
the way the automobile laws are
daily violated in Atlanta. It seems
that practically no attention is paid to
them. For this reason, it becomes
necessary for the police and the
courts to interfere with a strong hand.
Muffler Cut-Out Condemned.
“The noise made by the muffler cut
out is an abominable nuisance, and
can not be stopped too soon. Persons
who are trying to sleep at night de
serve protection from *hese selfish
and reckless drivers who never seem
to consider anyone but themselves.
Of course, the nuisance is much
worse at night, when everything is
quiet.
“The law that requires autos to
come to a full stop when trolley cars
halt to take on and let off passen
gers should be enforced by all means.
The violation of this law is the most
dangerous in the list. The disregard
of this law Imperils the lives of citi
zens every time they start to get on
a car or alight from one. A driver
who would shoot past a trolley car
when men. women and children are
getting on and off, and endanger their
lives, should expect to go to the stock
ade.”
Cox College Opening
Set for September 11
Brilliant Musical and Speaking Pro
gram Has Been Arranged for
First Day.
Monday's Moving
Day; if You Want
A Home Here’s Aid
Sunday American Compiles Special
List of Houses, Bungalows, Apart
ments end Rooms.
To-morrow is Moving Day. The
Smiths are leaving Tenth street for
Ansley Park, the Joneses are hunting
a house with a big front yard, the
Robinsons want to leave Decatur and
find a bungalow in ten minutes of Five
Points. It’s a job, this houae-huntlng.
That’9 why The Funduv American
made an s espeeial effort tnts week to
help its readers find homes. The
classified columns of this Issue carry
hundreds upon hundreds of homes to
rent, mansions, bungalows, cottages,
apartments, furnished rooms, unfur
nished rooms for light housekeeping.
You'll find anything there from a
mansion with a ballroom dowg to a
$10-a-month cottage.
But everybody doesn’t move in Sep
tember. So The American nnd Geor
gian will continue to publish a good
list of homes for rent. You’ll find new
offers every day if you’ll search the
FOR RENT columns. And if your
house doesn’t suit you a FOR RENT
ad will find you a tenant in a jiffy.
Mrs, Sage Sustains
Broken Arm in Fall
Well-Known Atlanta Woman, Other
wise Unhurt, Will Soon
Leave Sanitarium.
Mrs. I. Y. Sage, a well-known At
lanta woman, who fell and broke her
left arm while alighting from a street
car at Peachtree street and North
avenue Saturday afternoon, will be
able to leave the Elkin-Goldsmith
Sanitarium within a few days. She
will return to her home at Williams
Station.
Mrs. Sage had come in from her
country home to look over an apart
ment she has rented in the new Ponce
DeLeon Apartments on Peachtree
street. As she alighted from a street
car at North avenue her foot caught
in her gown and she fell to the pave
ment. It was thought at first that
she was internally injured, but an
examination by physicians disclosed
no injuries but the broken arm.
Ferdinand Dunkley,
Gives Organ Recital
Concert Sunday at Auditorium Will
Be One of Most Brilliant
Heard in Atlanta.
The Grand March from "Aida,”
Mendelssohn’s "Spring Song,” the
Lohengrin Prelude and several other
numbers of equal merit will make the
free organ concert Sunday afternoon
one of the most brilliant ever heard
at the Auditorium-Armory.
The organist will be Ferdinand
Dunkley, fellow the Royal College of
Organists, London, who has been
brought here for the occasion by the
Atlanta Music Festival Association.
He will also play at Si. Mark Metho
dist Church at the 11 o’clock service.
Mr. Dunkley bears the reputation of
being one of the finest organists who
ever came from England to America.
Mr. Dunkley will be followed during
succeeding Sundays by other notable
organists, among them Clarence Rey
nolds. who has probably played to
more people than any other organist
in the -United Stater, in the big Ocean
Grove Auditorium.

Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain Gets Taste of Ameri
can Strenuosity.
NBTV YORK. Aug:. 30.—The Right
Honorable Viscount Haldane of (’loan.
Lord High Chancellor of Great Brit
ain, Keeper of the Great Seal and
Keeper of the King’s Contotence, to
day is experiencing American stren-
uoslty in its most dynamic form.
He is now on hi>* second day of a
five-day flying tour of the Bast, dur
ing which time he will meet nearly
every man of importance in the United
States and Canada, be the guest at
a banquet every spare moment of
his time, have a few honorary de
grees conferred on him, make some
dozen speeches, listen to several doz
en, and get back to New York in time
to board the Lusitania as she starts
from New York At midnight Tuesday.
Undoubtedly, the Lord High Chan
cellor has no loafing Job when he ie
at home. His position corresponds to
that of the Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States, and
it entails a vast nmount of labor. In
addition, bis office makes him Keeper
of the Great Seal, which shouldn’t
be very hard work, and also Keeper of
the King’s Conscience, the amount of
labor carried by this position, of
course, depending on who happens to
be king.
To-day at 1ft o’clock the party,
joined by President Nicholas Murray
Butler, of Columbia University, and
Mrs Butler, boarded J. P. Morgan’s
yacht, the Corsair, and steamed to
West Point. There he was received
by Colonel Townsley, the comman
dant. and Charles.!. Doherty, Minister
of Justice and Attorney General of
Canada. The program Included an
Inspection of the military academy
and a review of the corps of cadets.
After the review the party boarded
the private car of President Loree,
of the Delaware and Hudson, and left
for Albany, where three hours were
spent, and then proceeded to Mon
treal. After a day of sightseeing In
the Canadian city, Lord Haldane will
be the guest of President Kellogg, of
the American Bar Association, at the
Rltz-Carlton In that city.
Monday morning Prime Minister
Robert L. Borden, of Canada, will
open the session of the American Bar
Association, and in the afternoon
Lord Haldane will deliver the annua!
address to the association. His sub
ject will be "Higher Nationality,” a
study in law and ethics. The Lord
Chancellor will be introduced by
Chief Justice White, of the United
States Supreme Court. Former Pres
ident Taft is also on the program of
that day.
The party leaves Montreal at 10
o’clock Tuesday, and will reach New
York just in time to catch the out
going liner.
AGED OFFICER
Slayer of Hawkins Youth To Be
Arraigned Tuesday Before
Columbus Magistrate.
COLUMBUS, Auk. 3(1.—Robert W.
Willis, the aged bailiff who Friday
afternoon shot and killed Luther
Hawkins, the 18-year old Hapeville
youth, while atempting to arrest him
on a eharKe of beating a 50-eent board
bill, will be arraigned for a prelimi
nary hearing on Tuesday.
In his cell at the Muscogee County
jail to-night the olt\ man nervously
paced back and forth or sat on the
edge of his cot. brooding over the
tragedy that charges him with mur
der. He repeatedly expressed Ills
deep regret over the killing and de
clared it was unintentional.
At his trial on Tuesday Willis, who
is 60 years of age, being the oldest
bailiff in this city, will claim, that
h# was. branlshing his pistol in the
air when he stumbled, and the weapon
was accidentally discharged.
The prosecution, on the other hand
will endeavor to prove that Willis
deliberately took aim and fired unon
Hawkins from the back. The fatal
bullet struck the youth in the back
of the head and went through the
skull, lodging over the right eye. The
prosecution claims to have eyewit
nesses who will swear that the bailiff
shot with intent to wound him.
The body of Hawkins will probably
be shipped to Hapeville for interment
to-morrow.
No effort thus far has been made
to secure ball for Willis and none
will be until he is arraigned on Tues
day.

THIS SUMMER
“Planting of Early Cotton Surest
Way to Head Off the Pest,”
Declares Worsham.
Georgia cotton planters may put
aside their fears of an immediate in
vasion by the boll weevil. Tt will
be h; least a vear and n half before
the weevil will become a problem *n
this State, according to a prediction
made Saturday by E. Lee Worsham,
State Entomologist
"We can hear toe boll weevil hordes
chanting their battle songs, but nono
of them have crossed the line lnt>
this State as yet,” was the manner In
which Worsham indicated their prox
imity to the Georgia plantations.
“The farmers of Southwestern
Georgia along the border line are In
a panic of fear over the approach f
the pesis. Practically every county
along the line has reported the pres
ence of detachments of the invading
army, but we have made the closest
sort of an Investigation without un
covering even a guerrilla band.
"The weevil army. however, ««
