TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Declaring 'that the woman of the
present day doesn’t mean to be "bad”
by wearing the "latest’’ X-ray skirts,
silhouette gowns and the like, Dr.
Lincoln McConnell, the new pastor
of the Baptist Tabernacle, who ar
rived in the city Monday night, es
tablished his position on the modern
movement, arid incidentally differed
sharply with his famous predecessor,
Dr. Den Q. Broughton, who says the
wearers of the late gowns are in
league with the devil with no possi
ble chance of ever seeing Heaven.
"Modern woman." declared Dr. Mc
Connell, "doesn’t mean ndar as much
by her fads as most people seem to
think. Neither is she bad, nor has
she given up her old ideas of virtue.
The fact that she is going to ex
tremes in dress as in other things is
simply another indication of the
Trend of the Times,’ the movement
all along the line-in religion, in pol
itics, in all governmental affairs, to
throw off restraint.
“This so-called shocking’ part that
woman is playing in the great move
ment ultimately will work out all
right. The restraint will be thrown
off (no doubt about that) the pen
dulum will swing far out—it has al
ready almost reached the farther
point—woman will get universal suf
frage—and then this same pendulum
will swing back again.
No Need for Alarm.
“There is a breaking away from the
old things—the old faith—a whole
sale throwing off of all restraint. But
people should not be alarmed, for
there will be another trend backward
when the good has been reaped from
the present movement.’’
Dr. McConnell declared Tuesday he

Chief Beavers.
would preach next Sunday night on
this topic. "The Trend of the Times,’’
touching on all of those so-called evils
about which people are talking so
much to-day.
Greeted by the <'hautauqun salutes
and the cheerH of more than 100 mem
bers of the Tabernacle congregation,
Dr. McConnell stepped from the Dixie
Flyer at the old depot Monday night.
Harry Ethridge, one of the deacons,
was the first to grasp the hand of
the new pastor, and then followed a
handshaking such as Dr. McCorfnelt
declared he had never before expe
rienced.
Following the reception at the de
pot, Dr. McConnell was taken to the
home of Mr. A. CL Boatman, choir
master of the Tabernacle, who will
entertain the new pastor until he Is
fully established in the city.
Dr. Broughton to Preach.
Dr. McConnell will preach his first
sermon next Sunday morning On
the following Sunday the Installation
ceremonies will be held with a num
ber of noted ministers taking part.
Among the speakers will be Dr.
Len G. Broughton. former pastor of
the Tabernacle, Dr. Bennett, of the
Home Mission Hoard; Dr. John E.
White, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church; Dr. John F. Purser and Dr.
Charles \V. Daniel. W. S Wltmam
will preside and James MaVson, the
city Attorney, will welcome Dr. Mc
Connell in the name of Atlanta.
Among the leaders who took part
in the reception to Dr McConnell

Miss Naomi Wells’ Attempt at

The City Council, with one or two
possible indldvldual exceptions, will
support the new- charter which will
make possible the wiping out of the
Police Commission and the establish
ment of a enew board with a new
policy.
Following The Georgian’s explana
tion of the political significance of the
new charter, it is the one topic dis
cussed in political circles.
“I don’t think there is any doubt
that practically every member of
Council is anxious for this new char
ter to be adopted.’’ said Councilman
George H. Boynton, of the Sixth
Ward, Tuesday.
“That charter will be adopted by
the voters of Atlanta,” said Council
man C. D. Knight, of the Second
Ward.
There is not a member of Council,
though, who will yet give an inter
view on Chief Beavers and the police
policy. Even Mayor Woodward
won't. Yet all state yrivately it is
the vital issue in the campaign.
Many rumors are afloat of new
candidates for Council. Whoever
comes out victorious, the old crowd
or a new one, there will be a real fight
over the control of the police depart
ment, if the new charter is adopted.
The members of the present Coun
cil seem willing and anxious to elect
a new police boarti. Whether they
would elect the members of the pres
ent Police Commission or new- mem
bers with a different policy Is hard to
tell, ut the present Police Commis
sion would have a decided advantage
in the fight to remain in power If
the old Councilmen were elected.

Boy Baby, Dressed Finely, Found
on Woodward Avenue Doorstep.
At Home for Friendless.
“He refuses to talk to the report
ers.” \
That was the answer given Tues
day when an interview was sought
with the newest arrival at the Home
for the Friendless, a mysterious
young personage, who as y<*t has
vouchsafed no explanation for his
presence at 10 o’clock Sunday night
on the porch at No. 205 Woodward
avenue, the home of James H. Mc-
Nesser.
The new inmate not only declines
to throw any light on his movements
Sunday night, but he as persistently
refuses to disclose his name. He is
pleasant to everyone; greets all his
visitors with a smile, but when ii
comes to talking there Is "nothing
doing.”
Failing to learn his identity, the
police named him "Joy,” and so he is
known at the Home for the Friend
less, where he has become the center
of all attention.
“Joy” Found on Porch.
"Joy’’ was discovered and brought
into the limelight by Mr. McNesser,
a real estate agent. "Joy" compla
cently was ensconced on McNesser’s
front porch when the real estate man
returned home Saturday night. The
young Intruder alternately was en
gaged in testing out his lungs, the
use of which, by the way, he had
possessed for only about three weeks;
and in inventorying the number of
toes on his two chubby feet.
This latter occupation seemed to
occasion him considerable worry. He
was sure that there should be ten
altogether. Finally he found that
none was missing, and a baby laugh
of satisfaction gurgled out on the
night air. It startled the ears of Mc
Nesser, w T ho was just coming up the
steps. He was not accustomed to
finding babies on his porch when he
came home o’ nights.
He struck a match and peered down
at the little bundle in front of his
door.
Clad in Fine Garments.
"For the love of Mike, what are
you doing here?” exclaimed McNesser.
"Joy” laughed right in hip face, but
didn’t say a word.
An hour later "Joy” was holding a
levee at the police station, after
which he was established at the
Home for the Friendless, where he
will stay until a permanent abiding
place is found for him.
"Joy.” when he was discovered on
the McNesser porch, was all decked
out in dainty garments of excellent
quality. The clothes were hemstitched
and embroidered in attractive design.
WAS 46 RAIS LATE
Man Who Served 17 Years Should
Have Been Released July 12.
Addresses Pastors.
That he remained in prison exactly
46 days longer than^-was necessary
because of a misunderstanding in
Washington over the character of his
sentence was the information con
veyed Tuesday morning to Thomas
Bram, who was released from the
Federal prison on a parole last Wed
nesday after serving seventeen years.
The information was received by
George P. Freeman, who was instru
mental in getting Bram’s parole, from
Representative William Schley How
ard. who inclosed a letter from C. H.
McGlasson, Acting Superintendent u#
Prisons, with headquarters at Wash
ington.
Mr. McGlasson says he discovered
Bram’s case was not one of that class
held up pending the Attorney Gen
eral’s construction of the parole law,
as Bram was sentenced by the court
to life imprisonment and not sen
tenced to be hanged and later com
muted by the President.
If it had not been for this misun
derstanding, Bram would have been
paroled about July 12. He was aware
of his eligibility to parole long be
fore July 12. and in anticipation of his
release he became perhaps the hap
piest man among the hundreds behind
the bars.
When July 12 arrived, however, and
then the next day and following days,
and no news of the parole came,
Bram began to see visions of months,
perhaps years, of further imprison
ment. But finally he received the pa
pers which made him a free man.
The Labor Day festivities Monday
put a temporary check on Bram’s ef-
| forts to land a Job in Atlanta. How
ever, he declared he is going cam
paigning again Tuesday, with every
hope of getting work before Wed
nesday. He says he is willing to*do
anything honest. Mr. Freeman, his
best friend, adds anything without
Sunday work, for Bram, he says, aft
er serving seventeen years in the
Federal penitentiary deserves at least
one day of rest each week.
Bram was the invited guest and
speaker at the Atlanta Pastors’ Union
at Wesley Memorial Church Monday
morning.

Home War Against
Mosquitoes Urged
If you have any mosquitoes around
your house It is your own fault, ac
cording to Dr. Claude A. Smith, City
Bacteriologist.
"The city is doing its part to keep
mosquitoes from breeding in sewers
and branches,” he said. "There are
very few- in the city, although this is
the open s«eason for them. What few
there are bred in old cans and buck
ets in people’s yards.
"To prevent them people should
clean up their yards.”
Curfew Puts Gay
Sag Harbor to Bed
SAG HARBOR, N. Y* Sept. 2.—
Curfew rang at 8:45 here last night,

by a policeman, which is the plan to
be pursued with offenders.
TO-DAY’S MARKET OPENING
Declaring that Dr. W. .1. MoNaugh-
ton had been convicted on the flim
siest sort of evidence and that the
State would be taking the life of an
innorent man if he was hanged,
Judge Frank H. Saffold, of Swains-
boro, and J^>hn W. Bennett, of Way-
cross, made pleas before the Prison
Commission Monday in behalf of the
man convicted of poisoning Fred
Flanders to death.
Dr. McNaughton has been respited
many times in order that all of the
evidence of the case might be gone
over thoroughly. It was the expecta
tion that Mrs. Flanders would be tried
for alleged connivance in the crime
and that new clews might develop,
but the prosecution was dropped with
the explanation that tehre was no
case against her.
With Mrs. Flanders out of consid-
no further reason for respiting Dr.
eration, there probably will be found
McNaughton. The alternatives are to
permit the physician to go to his
death at the time set, October 3, or
commute the sentence.
His attorneys undertook to show it
would have been impossible for him
to be guilty of the crime, and called
to the attention of the commission
that physicians had testified it was
not certain Flanders did not die from
natural causes.
The commission is expected to make
its report to Governor Slaton before
Friday.
Executive clemency for Lige Lane,
a Clinch County negro, convicted of
criminal assault, also was asked of
the commission Monday. It was urged
that the evidence was not sufficient
to convict and that the victim was of
bad character.
