TO HE CUPID
Mayor Lends Support to Friends
of Romance—City Spooning
Reservation Urged.
New hope for the spooners was
found Friday In the attitude of a
group of Councllmen 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 ear-, and daily conferences
are being: held in a certain office in
the Grant Building over plans to re
verse the police policy on spooning.
Ordinarily Council would not have
the authority to interfere with the af
fairs of the Police Commission, but
Just now canvasses are being made
for next year’s elections to the Po
lice Commission. Every Commis
sioner has his ear to the ground. As
Council Is 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 dally conferences are Alderman
J W. Maddox. Councilman Albert
Thomson. Councilman Claude C. Ma
son and Councilman Claude L. Ash
ley.
Impatiently they are waiting for
the action of the Police Commission
at the f-pecial meeting Wednesday
night, when the kissing and spooning
situation will be considered thorough
ly. Authoritative reports have It that
the Police Commission will declare
for a more liberal 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 Councllmen
He tool; 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 ee
cret conference that, have leaked out,
so h»' has thrown hl» support to the
Councllmen who are working through
the Police Commission.
Alderman Arthur H Vanl>yke has
come 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 VanDyke.
“That’s w hat we are about to do. That
property belongs to the city and does
not seem to be serving any purpose.
Council should grant an appropriation
to make it into a public kissing park
We could even allow ttie policemen
to use It.”
USE "CASCARETS"
IF CONSTIPATED
Gently Clean Your Liver. Stom
ach and Clogged Bowels
While You Sleep.
Get a 10-Cent box.
Take a Cascaret to-night to
cleanse your Liver. Stomach and
Bowels, and you will mirely feel
great by morning. You men and
women who have headache, coat
ed tongue, can't sleep, tire bilious,
nervous, upset, bothered with a
nick, gassy, disordered stomach, or
have backache and feel all worn
out. Are you keeping your bowels
clean with Cascarete—or merely
forcing a passageway every few
days with waits, cathartic pills or
castor oil?
Cascarets immediately cleanse
and regulate the stomach, remove
the sour, undigested and ferment
ing food and foul gaees; take the
excess bile from the liver and car
ry off the constipated waste matter
and poison from the intestines and
bowels.
Remember, a Cascaret to-night
will straighten you out by morn
ing. A 10-cent box from your
druggist means healthy bowel ac
tion. a clear head and cheerful
ness for month?*. Don’t forget the
children.
Dramatic Notes
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Dreamy Strauss music, produced hv
an orchestra whose sole business ; s
to play Strauss music, should make
notable the jarformance of "The Mer
ry Countess," which opens at the At
lanta Theater to-night. There will
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 singers 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 In some
parts—the scene of the operetta be
ing laid In a fashionable Austrian re
sort The principal parts are tak^o
by actors and singers whose nanri'H
are well known. Mabel Raker Is the
prima donna, and others of the com
pany are <’arl Haydn. Charles Udell,
Jack Henderson and Dale Winter.
ah ona attractive feature, clever
dancing is promised.
The week’s offering at the Forsyth
continues to attract audiences thit
each night nil the house. A popular
note seems to have been struck by the
bill. The tango and turkey trot, as
danced by Inez. Patterson 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 Estha Williams, who
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
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
ing subject of heredity, and. although
without a technical scientific basis,
it has something of application here
in the day of eugenics and reform of
moral standards. The story of the
play 1» that of an unhappy life of a
wholesome American girl who is
forced into marriage with an English
nobleman of degenerate house. A
matinee will be given Saturday.
The Jewe” Kelley Company will
prolong its engagement at the Bijou
Theater through the next week, of
fering a sensational melodrama. “The
Man of Mystery,” by Mark Swan, who
has written some of the most vivid
thrillers. It is a detective play, with
the story based on the principle of
hypnotism.
This week the Jewell Kelley players
are producln" “My Dixie Girl,”
drama of the Kentucky mountains.

DOWSE RENAMED PREDICTS ERA OF
NASHViLLEMAYOR GREAT PROSPERITY
On “Wide Open” Platform He
Runs Away From Cooper and
Judge Meeks.
NASHVILLE, TKNN., Kept. 12 —
Hilary E. iiowse, present Mayor of
this city, will be returned to office In
the first election held under the new
commission form of government by
an estimated majority of 550 votes
over his two opponents, Cooper and
Meeks, after one of the bitterest and
most sensational mayoralty cam
paigns ever witnessed in Nashville.
Howse was elected on a platform
promising not to disturb the present
wide-open condition.
Howse worked with a wonderful
organisation 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-
Governor Malcolm R. I’atterson. 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 Iiowse, 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 day 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.
linois Democratic Leader, in At

Tariff Reform,
Mississippi’s Richest
Planter Weds Nurse
MEMPHIS, Sept. 12.—Love at first
sight three weeks ago led to the mar
riage here Friday in the Peabody
Hotel of M. C. Gatlin, of Walls, Miss.,
reputed to be the wealthiest planter
In that State, and Miss Bettie Yerger,
a trained nurse of Greenville, Miss.
They met in August through letters
written by Mrs. John Stansell, cousin
of the bride and a friend of Gatlin.
Sanitary Troughs
For Horses Urged
CLEVELAND, Sept. 1.—Ullrich
Richter, a contractor, has ashed that
sanitary drinking cups be provided
for horses to prevent poisoning by
drinking from stagnant water
troughs.
The new drinking cups will be ar
ranged so that the water will run
through them with such force as to
keep them clean.
U. S. Outclassed in
Motor Boat Races
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
COWES, ENG.. Sept. 12e—The Eng
lish motor boat Maple Leaf IV was
the betting favorite for the deciding
race to-day in the competitions for
the International motor boat trophy
in Osborne Bay.
It was conceded that the United
States «lid not have a chance to win
back the cup.
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 be is recognized as a keen
political student. In recognition of
his services politically in Illinois he
probably will he the party's* candidate
for United States Senator in next
year's direct elections 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 an 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 elsewhere in the
South.
The only weak point in the convict
system, he says, is lack of co-ordina
tion.
Mr. Boeschenstein was the guest of
Clark Howell and Governor Slaton
Thursday.
