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." Little Florence Evans, aged 4, enthusiastic in missions campaign. • > ■ V* * - -■ v. v ' ; ■■“F >>Ks| ' V' !»»&*' if «if .

Mrs. Preston herself wore Geor gians made into a rap, sash and belt. Among others wearing Georgians were pretty Miss Catherine Evans and her equally charming mite of a sister, 4-year-old Florence.

H., Sept. 13 —The hearing on the Thaw police warrant again has been postponed, this time until September 18 at 3 p. m. The same conditions as were agreed to yesterday prevail. Law’yers representing the fugitive have scored a decided point in hav ing Governor Felker consent to give Thaw a hearing before signing or re fusing to sign an extradition warrant on which the fugitive may be taken back to Dutchess County, New York, and placed in the Matteawan asylum. Thaw still fears kidnaping by representatives of New York State or Canada and seemed to welcome the Idea of being put behind Iron j^ars in a real jail.

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 MACON, Sept. 13.—When the po lice raided a house on lower New street, between Ocmulgee and Wal nut streets, yesterday a pretty young woman rushed out screaming: “For heaven's sake, don’t tell my husband."
