Tabernaeic*. I)r Lincoln McConnell, j
the new pastor, was formally install** 1 |
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
installation services were especially I
notable in that prominent laymen, a?
well as ministers, of neatly every de
nomination in Atlanta added their j
words of welcome and paid glowing l
tributes to Dr McConnell, his work :
for Christianity and his sterling |
character.
Promptly at 3.o’clock W. S. With-J

T>ibble. assistant to the pastor, fol
lowed. Mr Witham then announced
that each speaker would be limited to
three minutes.
Dr. Poteat First Speaker.
Dr K. M. Poteat, president of Pu -
man University, was then introduced.
He expressed himself as being de
lighted to have the opportunity of
participating in such a service, stat
ing that as a former Georgian he felt
assured that Dr. McConnell woulo
have the hearty co-operation of .ill
Christians in Atlanta.

Church; Dr Purser, pastor of the
Weat End Baptist Church, and l>r.

the Atlanta Baptists a hearty wel

Dr John Jenkins, representing the
Methodists of the district, the next
speaker, referred humorously to the

pastor had fallen into a creek one day,
said Dt Jenkins, and immediately he
changed over from the Methodists tu
the Baptists.

man who will found In the very front
rank of those who are fighting vice

proud of for his sterling Christian
citizenship.”
When Dr. Broughton had finished

outburst had subsided somewhat and
then he raised his hand and began his
address
Tails of Coming to Atlanta.
*T can not begin to tell you,” no
said, "how deeply 1 feel your kindness
and if you will indulge me for a few
that I was mistaken.
“Finally, through my good friend
Henry Durand, who is seated behind
me. 1 was employed, as I thought. V
about two weeks; but, as it turned
moments 1 will tell you how 1 first
came to your city. It was about ;’
years aaro that 1 stopped off a South

ing. I thought I had a job. but foilin'
out. for two years. Later I eecur* d
a place on the Atlanta police fore
through my friend James L. Beaver?
who also sits on the rostrum with
me.”
In closing. Dr. McConnell pledged

MERIDEN, N. H., Sept. 15 -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, was 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 Margaret. But upon
the younger sister devolved dramatic
necessities which indicated ehe 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 midden fall of Ornis.
marked the climax of the piece.
Wounded and robbing. 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
| lilies with careful expression, and was
| enthusiastically applauded.

COOL REPLY TO
Doesn’t Think Attack on His Kiss
ing Attitude Calls for Much
of an Answer.
Declaring that he saw but little
which was worth 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 c lear.
‘‘T will write Mr. McConnell a per
sonal tetter, then possibly he will
know* more of what he is talking
about," said the Mayor. "I may also
make a statement for the papers later
in the day. but right now I set 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. Tf
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.
" T also remarked in regard to the
case of w’here a young man claimed
that he had been unjustly fined in a
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 i-mark 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 opinion
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.
”1 was utterly astounded when 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 us the c ouple which
caused all the furore. Take it home
to yourselves and *we if you would
like for your daughter to be caught in
a compromising position with a man
in a public place.
"The winds of dissension and crimo
in Atlanta are being rapidly sown.
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."
