COUNCIL ORDERS CITY ELECTRICIAN PROBE
Revocation of Licenses Without
Cause, Declares Attorney,
Urging Inquiry.
Sensational disclosures were prom
ised when Council at its meeting Mon
day afternoon ordered a probe of the
administration of City Electrician R.
<\ Turner, following the charges of
persecution made by the Cotton States
Electric Company.
Attorney Aldlne Chambers, for the
company, appeared before Council to
ireean Investigation of the City Elec
trician.
The charge against Turner included
citations of his revocation of licensee
held by the company. This action was
declared to have been taken without
cause.
Council Order# Probe.
Coetofl ordered an investigation of
Turner by the City Board of Electrical
Control tn joint session with the
Council cortimittee on electric lights.
A committee of Whitehall street
merchants appeared at the meeting to
protest against that phase of the pro
posed traffic ordinance which forbids
the parking of automobiles in the
downtown district. It was asserted
that such action would retard shop
ping by Atlanta women. The ordi
nance was referred to the ordinance
committee.
What was considered a victory for
Mayor Woodward was had in the ac
tion of Council in referring the reso
lution providing for the empolyment
of expert electricians to inspect the
new fire alarm system to a special
committee for consideration. The
Mayor’s war on the fire alarm system
has been conspicuous. His opponents
were considered well aligned against
him for the battle to squash the reso-
11: ion at Monday's meeting.
Mayor’s Veto Overridden.
However, the Mayor’s veto of the
ordinance to close the thoroughfare
at the corner of Broad and Alabama
streets was overridden.
Much interest centered in the ses
sion. Since Mayor Wodward Is so
soon to appoint Council committees,
the action of the members was re
garded as a soft of test of political
support of the chief executive.

Widow Scores First as Legal Bat
tle, Long Delayed by Frank
Case, Is Renewed.
An attack on the test made by Dr.
H. F. Harris, State Chemist, upon the
body of Joshua B. Crawford was made
by Dr. J. M. McCandless, an analytical
chemist, in a statement of interroga
tories submitted in the hearing of the
famous Crawford will controversy,
Monday morning when the cast was
resumed before Auditor James L. An
derson, aftef a long delay on account
of the Frank trial.
Dr. McCandless charged that the
test was incomplete because a color
test instead of a quantitative analysis
w'as made.
Following immediately after the
testimony of County Physician Dr.
J. W. Hurt that he had given Jathua
B. Crawford morphine during his last
illness and denying that there were
any symptoms of opium poisoning,
the testimony of Dr. McCandless was
regarded as strengthening materially
the defense which is being built up
by the attorneys of Mrs. Mary Belle
Crawford, who is accused of causing
the death of her husband.
Dr. McCandless said that the brown
color revealed in the test made by
Dr. Harris after the body of Craw
ford had rested in the grave for four
years, might have resulted from pois
ons developing out of decomposition
of the body.
Not Unusual Amount.
Even if the color was caused by the
presence of meconic acid, a product of
opium, the amount stated to have
been found by Dr. Harris—one-
fiftieth of a grain—was in accordance
with the amount contained in the
cough syrup and hypodermic adminis
tered under the direction of Dr. Hurt
to the wealthy farmer, according to
Dr. McCandless. The only reliable test
was the quantitative one, the inter
rogatories declared.
Joshua B. Crawford left an estate
valued at more than $250,000. About
a year before his death he married
Mrs. Belle Savage, of St. Augustine,
Fla., and formerly of Pittsburg, Pa.
His will favored his widow with prac
tically all of his estate. A host of
relatives have combated the will ,and
have attempted to show his death was
caused by the administering of opium
by Mrs. Crawford. This litigation is
on the civil part of the case. The
criminal charge is pending before the
present Fulton County Grand Jury.
Attorneys Reuben Arnold and Bur
ton Smith are representing Mrs.
Crawford in the will hearing, while
Colonel J. S. James and Albert Kem
per are counsel for the heirs. The
hearing is being conducted in the
office of William C. Massey, commis
sioner of the Fulton Superior Court,
on the fourth floor of the old Cham
ber of Commerce Building. There
were less than half a dozen persons
outside of the attorneys present at
the hearing Monday morning. Short
ly before 1 o’clock a recess was taken
until Thursday morning. Mr. Ar
nold announced that the defense
would close, reserving the right to
place a number of doctors on the
stand later.
But two witnesses were placed on
the stand Monday morning. These
were Dr. Hurt, County Physician, and
Miss Emily ToWnsenn, a trained
nurse, both of whom attended Mr.
Crawford in his last illness and who

Charged With Assault with lfitent to
murder. Captain Ernest E. West, U.
S. N., well known in club circles in
Atlanta, is in a cell at the police irtn-
tion as the result of a difficulty in
which he is alleged to have severely
beaten his mother-ln-laW, Mrs. John
H. Jones, at her home, No. 485 CfoUri-
land street, Monday afternoon. His
bond has been fixed at $200.
A warrant was taken out by tfie
father-in-law of the naval officer
shortly after his arrest on a disorderly
conduct charge. Mr. Jones at the
time declared that every effort would
be made to punish aptaln West to
the fullest extent of the law.
This latest difficulty is said to be
the outgrowth of a long series of al
tercations which hfltfe followed since
Mrs. West’s suit for divorce from the
naval officer in which she charged
! him with habitual intoxication.
West was declared to have been
intoxicated when he visited the
Jofies hofhe Monday where he de
manded* to See his 8-year-old eon,
Ernest Reid West. The boy had been
given into the custody of his mothei
pending the divorce proceedings.
According to Mrs. Jones, with
whom Mrs. West is making her home,
when West asked to See the little
boy. she consented, and stepped back
Into the house to call him. Then, it
Is charged. West caught Mrs. Jones
by the arm and wrenching it severe
ly threw her to the floor.
Sees Mother Fall.
Mrs. West, Who had been attract
ed by the voices, came up in time to
see her mother fall. Uttering *a
Idreartl, she srwooned.
Mrs. Jones, it is reported, scrambled
to her feet and fled through a rear
door to the home of friends. From
here she telephoned for assistance to
the police.
A policeman was dispatched to the
Jones home, but befofe his arrival
the naval officer had disappeared.
A warrant was Immediately taken
out charging West with disorderly
conduct and detectives sent to make
the arrest. He was taken into cus
tody shortly after 1 6* clock at the
Capital City Club, where he had gone
to bed. He had to be forced into a
taxicab. At the police station he
refused to make a statement.
Once Taught at Tech.
Captain West was formerly an in
structor at the Georgia School of
Technology. Later he occupied the
professorship of science at the Boys'
High School. Durihg this time he had
a physical encounter with Superin
tendent of Schools William M. Sla
ton and, following this, West re-en
tered the navy and held a captaincy
in the marine corps for some time.
A month ago he came to Atlanta on a
furlough and has since resided at No.
21 East Linden street.
A week ago Mrs. Jones complained
that Captain West had visited her
home during the night and threw a
brick through the panel of the front

RACING
RESULTS
Denominational Differences Laid
Aside While Preachers Get to
Bottom of Problem.
The Evangelical Ministers’ Associa
tion of Atlanta stands pledged tc seek,
by the conscience of its members, and
by suitable legislation, such restric
tions of marriage as ultimately will
solve the so-called "divorce problem"
In Georgia.
Two resolutions, or. rather, a reso
lution and an amendment, were adopt
ed Monday morning at the regular
monthly meeting of the Association on
the fourth floor of the Wesley Me
morial Church building Also, they
were adopted at the end of the hot
test debate, and the most varied dis
cussion, held in that body for a long
time.
Again and again there were several
members seeking the floor at the same
time. There wa^s no tinge of per
sonality, but a tremendously Intense
aim to get at the bottom of the prob
lem—to decide whether the "bitter
record" of divorce and blasted lives
lay at the door of the State, at the
Ordinafv’s office, or in any measure
at the door of the church and the
pastor’s study.
Not Marrying Machines.
Denominational differences were
laid aside.
"For the first time in my life, I
agree with a Baptist," stated Dr. II.
Fields Saumenig, he arose to fol
low a fiery speech by the Rev. W.
R. Owen, secretary of the associa
tion.
And then Mr. Saumenig, having got
into his discussion, found out that he
didn’t agree with Mr. Owen at all—
on some other part of the subject.
It all started with a crisp and bril
liant discussion by the Rev. Dunbar
Ogden, who introduced the topic of
divorce and marriage after the pres
ident, the Rev. W. C. Rhaeffer, Jr.,
had announced that it would be the
subject for the day.
"We are not merely ‘marrying ma
chines,* ” stated Dr. Ogden. "In this
matter we are ambassadors of God.
to pronounce His blessing upon mar
riage."
And then Dr. Ogden launched into
a discussion of his own belief? and
methods, and this precipitated the
main debate.
"I ask these questions of every
couple, that come to me to be mar
ried," he said. "I ask, ’Have you
been married before? Are you di
vorced? If so, is your former partner
living?’
"And when either persons answers
‘Yes,’ I tell them that I can not
marry them until I have looked into
the cause of that divorce—and when
I do I find that nine out of ten of
them are not proper persons to be
married by a Presbyterian minister."
Dr. DuBose’s View.
Dr. H. M. DuBose took a different
view.
"The difficulty lies not at the door \
of the pastor’s study," he said, "and I
R does not lie at the door of the j
church. It lies at the place where j
the marriage license was issued. I
There is always a difficulty in the *
way of a minister probing all the
circumstances and yet, so far as I
may do so, I do probe any and all
such circumstances.
"To illustrate the difficulty of which
I speak, I may take as an example a
ceremony that I performed here not
so very long ago, about which there
