Before a congregation which filled
th- auditorium of the great Baptist
Tabernacie, Dr. Lincoln McConnell,
the new pastor, was formally installed
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
installation services were especially
notable In that prominent laymen, an
well as ministers, of nearly every de
nomination In Atlaata added th'dr
words of welcome and paid glowinR
tributes to Dr. McConnell, his work
for Christianity and his sterling

Christians in Atlanta.
Following Dr. Poteat, I>r John E.
White, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church; Dr. Purser, pastor of the
West End Baptist Church, and Dr.
Charles Daniel, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, were successively In
troduced and extended in behalf of
the Atlanta Baptists a hearty wel
come to the new pastor.
Dr. John Jenkins, repre-aentlng the
Methodists of the district, the next
speaker, referred humorously to th^
manner in which he claimed Dr. Mc
Connell became a Baptist. The new
pastor had fallen Into a creek one day,
said Dt. Jenkins, and immediately he
changed over from the Methodists to
the Baptists.
Dr, Broughton Applauded.
Following an address of welcome
by City Attorney James Mayson, In
which a high tribute was paid to the
new pastor, Dr. Len G. Broughton,
of London, former pastor of the Tab
ernacle, was Introduced amid tre
mendous applause.
“I don’t think I need any introduc
tion in this church.” said Dr. Brough
ton, “and so let’s drop the prelimina
ries and get down to business. You
have called to your church the man
whom in all the world 1 would rather
see here than any other. He is a
man who will found In the very front
rank of those who are lighting vice
and sin, a man whom Atlantat will be
proud of for his sterling Christian
citizenship.”
When Dr. Broughton had finished
speaking, Dr. McConnell was intro
duced to the congregation, which ap
plauded again for at least five min
utes. Dr. McConnell waited until the
outburst had subsided somewhat and
then he raised his hand and began his
address
Tells of Coming to Atlanta.
“I can not begin to tell you,” he
said, "how deeply 1 feel your kindness,
and if you will indulge me for a feu
moments I will tell you how I first I
came to your city. It was about 23
years ago that I stopped off a South
ern train about 2 o’clock in the morii-
ing. I thought 1 had a Job. but found
that 1 was mistaken. -
“Finally, through my good friend
Henry Durand, who is seated behind
me. I was employed, as I thought,/^or
about two weeks; but. ns it tufiu d
out. for two years. I>ater I s»eour* d
a place on the Atlanta police fore-
through my friend James !>. Beavers,
who also sits on the rostrum with
me.”
In closing, Dr. McConnell pledged
himself to give his very best efforts
to the upbuilding of the church and
the kingdom. He said he intended to !
Jump right in without delay and fight ;
for those things which are right.
Performance Given in Grove of
Pines at Foot of Hill Near
Meriden.
MERIDEN, N. H., Sept. 16.—Seated
In a charming grove of pines. Presi
dent Wilson was a deeply interested
spectator at the pastoral masque
“Santuary,” In which his youngest
daughter, Eleanor, played the leading
part. The playette, by Percy Mac-
kaye, the poet, w'as a protest against
the slaughter of birds for millinery
purposes.
The President was a guest of Miss
Eleanor and her sister Margaret. A
lyrical prelude to the masque was
sung by Miss Murgaret. But upon
the younger sister devolved dramatic
necessities which indicated she Is
possessed of rare stage talent.
With soft, appealing tones Miss
Wilson, as Ornis, the bird spirit,
pleaded with the hunter to forsake
his rifle. The sharp crack of a gun,
followed by a sudden fall of Ornis,
marked the climax of the piece.
Wounded and sobbing, Ornis is con
soled by the fauns, poet, dryad and
naturalist, who in the end convert
the hunter to a birdlover.
The President’s daughter spoke her
lines with careful expression, and was
enthusiastically applauded.

OBITUARY
Cow That Barked
Is Put to Death
Dr. Charles W, Daniel Orator for
Commencement of Southern
College at the Atlanta.
Declaring that he saw hut little
which w’as w’orth replying to in the
attack upon him by the Rev. Lincoln
McConnell at the Baptist Tabernacle
Sunday night, Mayor Woodward de
clined to discuss the charges Mon
day morning. He will write McCon
nell a personal letter, however, and
his words contained the Intimation
that this letter probably will be cool
but very clear.
‘1 will write Mr. McConnell a per
sonal letter, then possibly he will
kno- more of what he is talking
about,” said the Mayor. ”1 may also
make a statement for the papers later
In the day, but right now I see but
little worth replying to.
"The only criticism I had to make
of the police methods in connection
with the spooning cases was In the
instance where a couple had been
kept at the police station all night
and then the case against them
dismissed by Recorder Broyles. If
Broyles turned them loose, then cer
tainly they must have been as in
nocent as babes, for he is not in the
habit of releasing people who are
guilty of even the slightest wrong- |
doing.
“I also remarked in regard to the
case of where a young man claimed
that he had been unjustly fined in »
spooning case, that I thought money
derived from this case by the city
was dirty money and should be re
turned to the young man. I made
this remark to Mr. Colcord.
“I do not think Mr. McConnell’s at
tack can be highly regarded in view
of the public knowledge of the way
the police have acted In these spoon
ing cases.”
McConnell expressed the oplr’or
that the Mayor must be a fool to
make the remarks accredited to him
by the newspapers on the spooning
arrests by the police department.
”I # was utterly astounded w’hen I
read of the Mayor criticising the po
lice department for the spooning ar
rests, said McConnell. “Either he is
very foolish or incompetent and too
ignorant to properly take care of the
office held by him.
"I want to put myself on record as
favoring the vigorous prosecution of
all such offenders as the couple which
caused all the furore. Take it home
to yourselves and nee If you w’ould
like for your daughter to be caught in
a compromising position with a man
in a public place.
“The winds of dissension and crime
in Atlanta are being rapidly fwwn.
Unless an Immediate stop is put to
the vilifying of the police this city
will most surely reap one great whirl
wind of vice and crime.”
