Declares It Holds No Hope for
Reform
CONCORD. N. H.. Sept. 13 —A writ
of habeas corpus for Harry K. Thaw
was issued this afternoon by Judge
Aldrich, of the United State Court.
It is returnable at Littleton Septem-
Capitalist’s Son Denies He Flour
ished Weapon During Argu
ment With Street Car Man,
Gives Issue Undi
vided Attention.
Tn an interview' Saturday Judge
Arthur G. Powell, late of the Court of
Appeals, came vigorously to the de
fense of Atlanta’s spooners and as
serted that in the recent Instances
of police Interference the officers cf
the law had arrayed themselves on
the side of no sense against common
sense.
Judge Powell made an interesting
analysis of State rights and indi
vidual rights, weighed with Judicial
care the merits and demerits of kiss
ing, and the attitude the police
should take in the enforcement of
laws governing morals. Said the
Judge: 1
“I don’t think the present situation
is so much a conflict between the
rights of the State and the rights of
the individual; the thing at which the
community stands shocked is the de
plorable lack of Judgment displayed
by the police in the handling of a
particular case.
Must Use Common Sense.
"The State is supreme, of course;
without the supremacy of law and or
der individual liberty is worthless.
There is nothing in any true view of
individual liberty which would pre
vent the State from making hugging
and kissing a Jail offense if It were
necessary to the best interests of so
ciety to do so. But even then those
enforcing the law' should use some
common sense.
"The practical phases of the ques
tion are these: The girl with the
proper sense of pride and decency is
not going to let a man to whom she
!s not engaged kiss her either in pri
vate or in public. The woman who
is truly bad will hardly limit her ac
tivities to kissing. Between these two
extremes lies a middle class, the girls
who are not altogether bad but who
are a little fast; and from time im
memorial the boys have been chasing
this class of girls and hugging and
kissing them in dark comers or v/her-
ever else opportunity presented itself.
"Now, suppose a policeman finds a
boy on a dark seat in the park or on
the secluded portion of the Capitol
grounds kissing a girl, what should
he do? If the couple is engaged-
well, they are within their legal and
moral rights and privileges, if they
are npt making their spooning too
ostentatious. If the couple is not en
gaged, either the girl Is fast or she is
bad. If she is really bad, the polio*
do not need to arrep her merely for
hugging and kissing. N
Does Not Require Disgrace.
"If she is merely fast (and this is
the case most probably of all those
who have been supposed), to arrest
the couple and take them to jail
would be an outrage, irrespective ,f
what might or might not be the law,
rule or regulations on the subject.
That is the way to make bad women
out of fast girls.
"In any of the supposed cases, if the
policeman would onlv let his presence
be known, the performance would im
mediately end. Che situation doesn’l
require that the girl should be dis
graced absolutely. If the girl has a
mother, the mother should be notified,
and I am old-fashioned enough to be
lieve that unless the girl is entirely
too old. a good, old-fashioned spank
ing with the back side of a hair brusn
properly administered by the moth'r
would be a much more appropriate
corrective than arrest and jailing.
"This thing of arresting people for
trivial offenses which might be expe
diently handled otherwise is what di s
gusts us. The public should respect
and feel kindly to every' police offi
cer, and yet so long as the spectacle
of the police arresting for minor de
linquencies of conduct is constantly
before our eyes, we can not feel to
ward the police just as we should.
Could Condone Killing.
"The police do not seem to recog
nize the humiliation, the disgrace, the
deep mental pain a decent man feels
at being arrested; and to arrest a
woman or a young girl—I couldn’t (
blame a gentleman who would kill a
policeman to prevent it, where the
arrest was not absolutely necessary,
where the woman had not committed
some serious offense.
"It is so much more intelligent for
the police officer to handle minor af
fairs with a word of caution, or, if
the offense be graver though still
slight, by giving a copy of charges,
than it is for them to make an ar
rest and to hustle the offender off to
the station In the ‘Black Maria,’ that
I can’t understand the lack of sense
some of them display.
"It’s not a case of conflict between
the rights of the State and the rights
of the individual, it is a case of con
flict between sense and no sense.”
With the collapse of the “open
town” ticket for Council, Mayor
James G. Woodward turned his un
divided attention to the defeat of the
new charter
“On account of Council’s refusal
to grant the people an opportunity
to get any real charter reform I was
in hopes that a full ticket would be
brought out against the old crowd
and elected,” he said Saturday. "It
is the people's fault that the old
crowd Is going to remain In the sad
dle. I can stand It If they can.
"I didn’t try to get out any ticket
myself. I have my preferences for
Council, but I am not running any
body’s campaign. What I am inter
ested in now is defeating this fake
new charter. Its whole object is to
block genuine charter reforms. I am
convinced it will be rejected by an
overwhelming vote."
Hall Turns on Mayor.
Despite Mayor Woodward's denial
that he tried to get out a ticket the
opposition candidates charge that he
exhausted every resource In such an
effort.
! Councilman Orville H. Hall, can
didate for re-election from the Third
Ward, was regarded as a supporter
of the Mayor, but after the close of
the primary entry list Friday he
openly denounced the activities of
Mayor Woodward against him.
Councilman Hall told his friends
that Mayor Woodward had tried to
persuade him to enter the race for
Alderman against Alderman James
E. Warren. He refused. The next
thing he knew R. R. Jackson had an
nounced against him for Council.
Councilman Hall explained that Mr.
Jackson had been persuaded to come
out of the raoe Friday morning, but
that Mayor Woodward called him up
and promised to stump the ward for
him (Jackson) if he would stay In.
Otis Tells of Ruse.
“I have done everything I consist
ently could to please the Mayor." he
said. "Glaudc Mason, from the Tentn
Ward, fought him tooth and nail.
Yet he got out opposition to me and
left Mason to run unincumbered.
A humorous trick was worked on
one of the schemers for opposition
by R. R. Otis in the Second Ward.
Mr. Otis was approached by a man
who said he represented a committee
of 25. The man wanted him to op
pose C. D. Knight for Council.
"Mr. Knight Is one of my best
friends," said Mr. Otis, “but I told
this man I would take his proposition
under serious advisement. He came
to me day after day and each time I*
put him off without a definite answer.
Yesterday 1 told him I had decided I
could not possibly run.”
The result of the trick is that Mr.
Knight has no opposition.
Club Owner Is Active.
There has been no more active fig
ure in politics during the past few
weeks than T. M. Webb, owner of the
Theatrical Club. It was he who spread
the report that both Dan S. Walraven
and Jesse Armtstead would withdraw
from the Seventh Ward aldermanlc.
race and that Marcellus Anderson
would run unopposed. Mr. Walraven
was to be Police Commissioner.
Mr. Armistead s absolute refusal to
enter in any such plans destroyed the
plans. Mr. Webb is now an active
supporter of Mr. Walraven for Alder-
Waiter T. Candler, of No. 80 Hurt
street, a teller in the Central Trust
and Bank Corporation and a son *»f
Asa G. Candler, will be given a hear
ing In Police Court on September 16.
charged with drawing a revolver and
threatening to shoot a street car con
ductor during an argument at Broad
and Marietta streets late Friday aft
ernoon.
Mr. Candler was arrested and given
a copy of charges by Plainclothes Of
ficers Green and McKibben shortly
after ^he occurrence, on complaint of
the street car man. According to the
story the latter told the police, he
started to cross Marietta street at
Broad and narrowly escaped being
run down by Mr. Candler’s automo
bile.
The conductor claims he told Mr.
Candler to look where he was going,
and asserts that Mr. Candler told him
to keep off the streets. One word led
to another, the street car man says,
and the quarrel became violent.
Conductor Reports to Police.
After a few minutes, the street car
man claims that Mr. Candler drew a
revolver from his pocket and leveled
it at him, saying:
"Shut your mouth; I haven’t got
time to fool with you!’*
The conductor told the police that,
he was afraid Mr. Candler would
shoot him, so he returned to the side
walk and Mr. Candler went on up the
street in his car. The street car man
at once called up police headquarters
and entered a case against Mr. Can
dler.
Mr. Candler Saturday morning de
nied having drawn a revolver on the
man.
'T had a revolver in my automo
bile," he said. "I h .d between $10,00J
and $15,000 in the - which I was
taking to the express company from
the bank for shipment, and when I
carry that amount of money througn
the streets I always have a revolver
in my car, I would be foolish to car
ry a large sum like that without some
means of protection.
Denies Drawing Gun.
"I did not draw the revolver on the
man, and 1 did not threaten to shoot
him. 1 do not remember that I cursed
him, either. He probably saw the
weapon lying in the automobile, anJ
got the impression that I had drawn
it from my pocket during th*> quarrel.
From where he was standing when
the argument began he could not see
the gun, but later he moved up closer
to the automobile, ana then the weap
on was in plain view.
"I had some words with the fellow,
but he was never in any danger of be
ing run down by my car. I was com
ing up Marietta street from the bank
and was not running at a high rate of
speed. This man got in front of ths
machine, and I stopped to let him get
out of the way. He yelled something
about looking where I was going, and
I probably said something along the
same line to him. We argued only a
few moments and then 1 drove on to
the express company."

until September 18 at 3 p. m. The
same conditions as were agreed to
yesterday prevail.
Law’yers representing the fugitive

Georgia Railway

spected and tested a device invented
by C. J. Beauchamp, of Marietta,
which Is designed to admit one per
son at a time to a street car, and
only on payment of a nickel.
The object is to prevent crowding, an officer,
relieve the conductor of the duty of
ringing up fares, and, of course, to
make sure everyone pays a nickel.
When the device is in operation the
passenger drops a nickel in the slot.
There it forms an electrical connec
tion which starts a quarter-horse
power motor. A clutch on a revolv
ing door is released and the passen
ger walks in. The clutch slips back
into place Instantly, and the next per
son can not enter without depositing
a nickel. The conductor stands on
the back platform outside the door to
make change and accept transfers.
The device can be installed in the
present cars, and is adaptable also to
moving picture theaters, the Inventor
claims. He calls It the “Beauchamp
