SQUARE DEAL
Mayor Lends Support to Friends
of Romance—City Spooning
Reservation Urged.
New hope for the spooners wae
found Friday In the attitude of a
group of Councilmen who have deter
mined that kissing shall not be ta
booed in Atlanta. Reluctant a* they
are to interfere with the affairs of
the Police Commission, the appeals of
Cupid for a fair chance has found
listening: ear*, and dally 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-
le.v.
Impatiently they are waiting for
the action of the Police Commission
at the special meeting Wednesday
night, when the kissing and spooning
situation will be considered thorough
ly. Authoritative reports have It that
the Polica 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 1s In full sympathy with
this movement of the Councilmen.
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 lot
up. according to reports of that se
cret conference that have leaked out,
so he has thrown his support to the
Councilmen who are working through
the Police Commission.
Alderman Arthur H VanDyke has
(Onif out holder 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 what we are about to do. That
property belongs to the city and does
not seem to he serving any purpose.
Council should grant an appropriation
to make it into a public kissing park.
We could even allow the policemen
to use it.”

Dramatic Notes
By TARLETON COLLIER.
Dreamy Strauss music, produced by
an orchestra whose so> business !s
fo play Strauss music, should make
notable the performance rrf “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 criticism.-!
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 actor* In some
parts the scene of the operetta be
ing laid In a fashionable Austrian re
sort. TJie principal parts are tak».n
by actors and singers whose mime*
are well known. Mabel Baker is the
prima donna, and others of the com
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 seeme to have been struck by the
bill. The tango and ttndtey trot, as
danced by Inez Patterson and Frank
Hale, naturally hsve an appeal, being
an expression of the mode. The danc
ing act and the act of Lydia Barry
are the headliners of the Mil.
A really convincing performance, it
Is said, Is that of Rstha Williams, w T ho
at the Lyric next week in ”A Man’s
(fame,” will play the part of a disso
lute, unscrupulous wife. The play i»
one with a true realism and with a
story of re.al 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 snd reform of
moral standards. The story of the
play la 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 I-^lley players
are producing "My IHxle Girl," a
drama of the Kentucky mountains.

On “Wide Open” Platform He
Runs Away From Cooper and
Judge Meeks.
NASHVILLE, TENN, Sept. 12.—
Hilary E. Ho who, preaent 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 560 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
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-
Govemor Malcolm R. Patterson, fol
lowing the latter's alleged “framed"
arrest a short time ago In a disorder
ly housa
A remarkable boldness was mani
fested by both Meeks and Howse In
bidding for the saloon vote, Criminal
Judge Nell 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
lias been manifested during the cam
paign, the election was remarkable
for its quietness, only a few minor
difaculties being reported.

U. S. Outclassed in

It wa* conceded that the United

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 fin the va
cancy to be created by the close of
the term of the Republican Senator,
Sherman.
Mr. Boescbenstrln scouted the idea
of a panic a* 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 wag the guest of
Clark Howell and Governor Slaton
Thursday.
