II HIE CUPID
SHIRE DEAL
Mayor Lends Support to Friends
of Romance—City Spooning
Reservation Urged.
New hope for the spoonera was
found Friday In the attitude of a
group of Oouneilmen who have deter
mined that kissing shall not be ta
booed in Atlanta. Reluctant as they
are to interfere with the affairs of
the Police Commission, the appeals of
Cupid for a fair chance has found
listening ears, and daily conferences
are being held In a certain office in
the Grant Building over plana to re
verse the police policy on spooning.
Ordimrily Council would not have
the authority to interfere with the af
fairs of the Police Comm Wit ion, but
Just now canvasses are being made
for next year's election* to the Po
lice Comm leal on. Every Commie-
aloner has his ear to the ground. As
Council la to do the electing, the will
of Council is supreme in matters of
police policy, for the present, at least.
Open Kissing Season Expected.
Some of the regular attendants at
these daily conferences are Alderman
J W. Maddox, Councilman Albert
Thomson, Councilman Claude C. Ma-
•on and Councilman Claude L. Ash
ley
Impatiently they are waiting for
the action of the Police Commission
at the special meeting Wednesday
night, when the kissing and spooning
aituation will be considered thorough
ly. Authoritative reports have It that
the Police Commission will declare
for a more libera! policy.
It must not be overlooked that in
all this complex fight Mayor Wood
ward and the Council are thoroughly
agreed for the first time since he be
gan his administration. Mayor
Woodward is in full sympathy with
this movement of the Councilman.
He took the Initiative himself the
other day and called Police Chief
Beavers to his office to protest
against the warfare of the police
against Cupid s victims.
Mayor Aids Cupids' Friends.
He did not have much luck in his
efforts to get Chief Beavers to let
up, according to reports of that se
cret conference that have leaked out,
so he has thrown hi* support to the
Councilmen who are working through
the Police Commission.
Alderman Arthur H. VanDyke has
<;ome out bolder than the rest. The
Eighth Ward Alderman would con
vert the little plot on Forsyth street
that adjoins the City Hall Into a pub
lic kissing park.
"We must not kill romance in At
lanta,” declared Alderman Y r anDyke
''That’s what we are about to do. That
property belongs to the city and does
not seem to be serving any purpose.
Council should gram an appropriation
to make it into a public kissing park
We could even allow the policemen
to use It.”

Dreamy Strauss music, produced hv
an orchestra whose sole business ‘s
to play Strauss music, should make
notable the performance of "The Mer
ry Countess," which opens at the At
lanta Theater to-night. There w'lll
be “The Blue Danube," for Instance.
But the music, if the chief, is not
the only charm that Is promised. In
dications In the shape of criticisms
that have come in the course of this
same tour are that there are actors
and gingers of ability in the cast, and
a wardrobe that is spectacular
A cast of pretentious promise has
been assembled by Manager Rork. A
truthful tone has been sought by the
importation of native actors !n some
parts the scene of the operetta be
ing laid In a fashionable Austrian re
sort. The principal parts are taken
by actors and singers whose nam^s
are well known Mabel Baker in the

pany are Carl Haydn. Charles Udell,
Jack Henderson and Dale Winter.
As one attractive feature, clever
dancing is promised.
The week's offering at the Forsyth
continue* to attract audiences that
each night fill the house. A popular
note seems to have been struck by the
bill. The tango and turkey trot, as
danced by Inez Pattcrrson and Frank
Hale, naturally have an appeal, being
an expression of the mode. The danc
ing act and the act of Lydia Barry
are the headliners of the bill.
A really convincing performance, it
Is said, Is that of Fstha Williams, whd
at the Lyric next week In “A Man’s
Game," will play the part of a disso
lute, unscrupulous wife. The play is
one with a true realism and with a
story of real emotions. It will be at
the Lyric all next week.
"The Call of the Heart" Is this
week's offering at the Lyric Theater.
The play is built about the interest

without a technical scientific basis.

Aw, What’s the Use?
NASHVILLE MAYOR GREAT PROSPERITY
On “Wide Open” Platform He
Runs Away From Cooper and
Judge Meeks,
tfASHVILLE, TENS'., Sept. 12.—
Hilary JO. Howne, present Mayor of
this city, will be returned to office In
the first election held under the now’
commission form of government by
an estimated majority of 560 votes
over his two opponents. Cooper and
Meeks, after one of the bitterest and
most sensational mayoralty cam
paign* ever witnessed in Nashville.
Howse was elected on a platform
promising not to disturb the present
wide-open condition.
Howse worked with a wonderful
organization and completely snowed
under the law enforcement candidate,
Cooper, who ran second, and who
was just as far ahead of Circuit
Judge Meeks, who was practically
forced into the race by friends of ex-
Oovemor Malcolm R. Patterson, fol
lowing the latter’s alleged "framed"
arrest a short time ago in a disorder
ly house.
A remarkable boldness was mani
fested by both Meeks and Howse In
bidding for the saloon vote, Criminal
Judge Neil threatening to close every
saloon in the city unless his candi
date, Meeks, was elected. The saloon
element ignored this threat and threw
its support to Howse, who had made
a threat similar to that of Nell.
Both Meeks and Cooper are claim
ing wholesale frauds and declare they
will contest the election.
Women workers were prominent at
the polls and numerous prayer meet
ings were held throughout the city
during the dav in the interest of
Cooper.
Despite such intense bitterness as
has been manifested during the cam
paign. the election was remarkable
for its quietness, only a few minor
difficulties being reported.

Planter Weds Nurse
MEMPHIS, Sept. 12.—Love at flrst
sight three weeks ago led to the mar
riage here Friday in the Peabody
Hotel of M. C. Gatlin, of Walla, Miss.,
reputed to he the wealthiest planter
in that State, and Miss Bettle Yerger,
a trained nurse of Greenville, Mib-s.
They met in August through letters
written by Mrs. John St&nsell, cousin
of the bride and a friend of Gatlin.
Declaring Democracy is gaining
strength throughout the country and
that all that is needed now is re
adjustment following tariff reform.
Charles Boeschenstein, Democratic
National committeeman from Illinois,
who is a visitor n Atlanta. Frday pre
dicted a time of great prosperity.
Mr. and Mrs. Boeschenstein arrived
in Atlanta Thursday, following a trip
to Gainesville, where they placed their
daughter in Brenau College.
Mr. Boeschenstein speaks with au
thority on the national political situa
tion. as he Is recognized as a keen
political student. In recognition of
his services politically in Illinois he
probably will be the party’s candidate
for United States Senator in next
year’s direct election# to fill the va
cancy to be created by the close of
the term of the Republican Senator,
Sherman.
Mr. Boeschenstein scouted the idea
of a panic as a result of the enact
ment of Democratic tariff. The Dem
ocratic party in Illinois, he declared,
is stronger than it was last year,
which is indicative of continued Dem
ocratic success throughout the coun
try.
Mr. Boeschenstein was delighted
with Atlanta, and expressed great
surprise at what he termed the re
markable development of highways in
Georgia, as well as elsew'here in the
South.
The only weak point in the convict
system, he says, is lack of co-ordina
tion.
Mr. Boeschenstein w’as the guest of
nark Howell and Governor Slaton
Thursday.
