TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. ' I* A JUDGE ARTHUR 6. POWELL ENTRIES In an Interview Saturday Judge Arthur G. Towell, 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 of 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 tare the merits and demerits of kiss ing, and the attitude the police ghould take in the enforcement of laws governing morals. Said the fiidge: “I don’t think the present situation so much a conflict between the lights 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; w ithout the supremacy of law and or der individual liberty is worthless. ^There is nothing in any true view of had. If she is really bad, the police do not need to arre? her merely for hugging and kissing. Does Not Require Disgrace. “If she Is merely fast (and this is the case most probably of all those who have beer supposed), to arrest the couple and take them to jail would be an outrage, irrespective <)f what might or might not he 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. The situation doesn't ! 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 Re lieve that unless the girl is entirely too old. a good, old-fashioned spank ing with tho back side of a hair brusn properly administered by the motta'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 .»- AT HAVRE DE GRACE.

Good cheer for the farmers of Georgia is contained in a telegram received at the State Capitol from State Commissioner of Agriculture J. D Price, who. with State Entomoio- fflst e j^ee Worsham and Phil Camp- hell. of the College of Agriculture. Is making an inspection of crop condi tions in the boll weevil district. “Georgia crops look good to me,” wired Mr. Price. "We have seen lots of cotton ruined by boll weevils in Louisiana. Have not seen any good corn since wo left.” Mr. Price and his aides are in Mis sissippi Saturday, inspecting crop conditions In that State. The rav ages of the boll weevil there are al most as great as In Louisiana, it is generally understood, and officials of the State Department of Agriculture are eagerly awaiting his report. Crops Above Average. The wire received yesterday indi cates that the farmers of Georgia oc- ' cupy an enviable position this year among Southern agriculturists. The boll weevil has not yet invaded this State, and Mr. Price’s report indicates that Georgia crops are well above the average. , Following the receipt of Mr. Price s message, Dan Hughes, Assistant Com missioner of Agriculture, issued a statement in which he declared that the farmers of Georgia are not mak ing the necessary preparations to meet the invasion of the boll weevil. Diversification Is Urged. “Unless a section is prepared for its coming,” Mr. Hughes said, "the weevil strikes with almost paralyzing effect. The only sure way to get ready for the weevil is by crop di versification. Means have been found which Slightly check the ravages of the pest, such as the planting of early maturing varieties of cotton. The only real protection, however, is for the farmer to make himself financially independent of cotton. This he can do only by turning a portion of his attention to other crops ” New Pastor of Baptist Tabernacle To Be Installed Sunday With Special Ceremony.

White House Caller Jailed WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Charles W. Smith, of Terrace View. W.

He was held subject to an exami nation of his sanity. Bubonic Plague in California; One Dies SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.—One death due to bubonic plague was admitted to-day by Dr. J. D. Long, of the United States Marine Hospital Service here. The victim died at Mar tinez, Cat., but Dr. Long said there was no indication of an epidemic. The Federal Administration had agreed to an appropriation of *40,000 ‘o fight the plague In California. her 16 at 11 a. m. A transcript of • this has been placed on file. An injunction also has been issued restraining all persons from inter fering with the service of this proc ess or interfering with the custody of Thaw. The writ is to be served on Holman L. Drew, Sheriff of Coos County. It is apparent that Judge Aldrich does not intend to interfere with the progress of the case by the State au thorities. It is also apparent that Thaw will have his rights legally de termined in this State and that there will be no undue haste in the settle ment of the case. Thaw’s Hearing Set for Sept. 18. COLEBROOK, N. H„ Sept. 13.—The hearing on the Thaw police warrant again has been postponed, this time until September 18 at 8 p. m. The same conditions as were agreed to yesterday prevail. Lawyers 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 bars in a real jail. Decorated with caps, aprons, sashes and belts made from copies of their favorite newspaper, 200 members of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Methodist Church gathered at the district convention in St. Paul’s Church, Grant street and St. Paul avenue, Friday. Their unique attire was typical of their decision to institute a campaign of publicity through the newspapers. The idea was suggested by Mrs. W. H. Preston, district publicity super intendent. Mrs. Preston herself wore Geor gians made into a cap, sash and belt Among others wearing Georgians were pretty Miss Catherine Evans and her equally charming mite of a sister, 4-year-old Florence. The day was given over to the read ing of reports and the formulating of plans for the future work. Among the prominent missionary workers present were Mrs. Preston, Mrs. Em ma Euge, Miss Willie May BidwelL Mrs. E. R. Hamilton, Mrs. J. L. Driv er, Mrs. George Thompson, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Kinzell, Mrs. Neiberm. Mrs. W. F. Trenary and Miss Isabell Hughes. HEAR A. C.

Slot Machines to Operate Doors on City Street Cars Officials of the Georgia Railway and Power Company Saturday in 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, relieve ihe conductor of the duty of [ ringing up fares, and, of course, to i 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 fn the present cars, and is adaptable also to moving picture theaters, the inventor claims. He calls it the “Beauchamp Automatic Door.” Chases Dentist Two Miles for His Teeth HAMMOND, IND., Sept. 13.—Dr James Jones, a South Bend dentist, was bound over on a charge of grand larceny for stealing the gold teeth of James D.

With the collapse of the “open towm" ticket for Council, Mayor Janies G. Woodward turned his un divided attention to the defeat of the new charter. t “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 und elected," he said Saturday. “It is the peoples 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 race 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. “Claude Mason, from the Tentn Ward, fought him tooth and nail. Yet he got o^t 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 ariswer. Yesterday I 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 Armistead would withdraw from the Seventh Ward aldermanic 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 Aider- man. Quickly Placates Strikers. Sour bread was the cause of a near-mutiny at the Federal prison, it developed Saturday. Twenty-one men in the stone-cutting department were Involved. When they sat down to eat Iasi Thursday, they found that the bread at their plates tasted peculiarly. After the meal they counseled among themselves. One had read that the Government proposed to slash their food appropriation to 13 cents per capita a day. This sour bread must be the first effects of ths new order. They would not stand for It. Leave Table in Protest. They were a solemn and determined lot when they sat down to stipper. With one accord everyone reached first for his broad. Everyone tasted it simultaneously. Every nose wrin kled in pained disgust. With the same unanimity every chair was shoved back and the men formed in line to wait upon the powers that be. "We won't work until we get good eats!” That was their ultimatum. The Powers That Be were very much sur prised. They had not known that any thing was the matter with the food. They institued an immediate inves tigation. Yes, It was too true—the bread was very bad. The baker was called upon the car pet. He explained he had experienced bad luck. Just as every good cook and baker sometimes will. The officials and the prisoners were informed that it would not happen again. Joy When Report Is Denied. THe prisoners, greatly mollified, re. turned to their work the next day. They were still more pleased wh?n they were told there was nothing to the report that their rations were to be cut. “I have received no order to cut th<* cost of the men's food down to M cents per capita,’ said Warden Moy er Saturday. "I can not imagine how the report got started. So far as I know there Is no such plan in pros pect. "The matter of the bread was just a simple accident. But the men, hav ing read the story of the cut in cost of feeding, thought It was to keep ip right along. There was no disturb ance. of course. The* men merely pro tested and their grievance was ad justed within ten minutes.” Wellesley Girls Can Wear Hobbles Now WELLESLEY, MASS., Sept. 13.— Wellesley College girls may return to college this fall In tight skirts.
