at way. Bur I believe that there
. r*> more decent people than indecent
peorrte. All they have to do is to
wake up to their duty."
Law and Men Weapons
The Chief refers to conditions in
Atlanta in this way:
"We closed all the houses of
-’ll fame in the city of Atlanta, about
one year ago, and we have kept them
closed. The law and the noble men
of the police department were niv
weapons to fight the battle with. But
J want to say that there went before
ns a flame of fire that burned away
■he deadened consciences of the police
parr merit and the public, and blazed
the way, and the good people of our
city stood by us for a clean city. And
ail the good people of any city have
got to do Is to stand together, an]
the gates of hell will not prevail
* gainst them.
I made up my mind that 1 wo-ud
do what my conscience told me was
right regardless of what the result
might be. So I gave the order, and
I have never seen the moment that i
regretted it, nor would the good peo
ple of the city return to the old con
dition under any circumstances, and
all we have got to do is just to con
tinue to enforce the law against such
places as we do other laws.
■*TVe have not had as many assig
nation houses in the city of Atlanta
since the closing of the houses as we
had before, and crime and disorder j
..eve deceased also.
"Men may and will violate the law.
Lut it is not necessary that they
should do 30. *t th« time has come
when the man, whether he be official
or citizen, who attempts to bring back
the old conditions in the cities where
recognized houses of prostitution ha ve
been closed will be contemptible be
fore the people. 1 do ,not expect any
city to attain perfection, but I do say
that we have bettered conditions in
Atlanta, and men all over our land
ere organizing to push this movement
for the uplift and betterment of man
kind. I hope that the work will go on
until every city in the United States
will take this question up and break
ihe bonds that bind the cities and the
vice promoters together, and refc*as®
ihp unfortunate slaves from a life of
eternal ruin."
Like Napoleon and Cromwell.
In a airong character study of
i.'hief Beavers, A1 H. Dunlap, man
ager of the municipal section of The
Detective, compares the chief to
Napoleon and Cromwell. Fie says:
"Without going into a discussion of
his important subject itself, we wish
o state that after observing at close
ange the work and personality of
<’hief James L. Beavers we are in
position to conclude that lie is not
exactly a saint, as he is painted by
the extremists on one side, nor is he
the Satan or jthe visionary reformer

that he is pictured by those who are
opposed to the vice - yusade. Instead
he is a normal human being with rich
red bleed in his veins, possessing a
poverfu ersonal character. the
strong will of a Napoleon, the con
science of a Cromwell, and the un- j
limited courage of his convictions.
"It is a mistaken notion that Chief;
Beavers was ever dictated to by any
set ot reformers or preachers: nor
do ihe records snow that he ever
permitted himself to be bullied or
domineered 'by political bosses or
gangsters. When he was consider
ing? the question of wiping out the
so-called red light district, he took
no one into his confidence. When
he reached the decision To do so, he
proceeded individually to act prompt
ly. firmly and effectively."
Recorder Nash Broyles also has a
strong article in The Detective on
“The Police Officer and Police Judge."
Old Station Rapped.
The Detective praises numerous
good features of the police depart
ment,- and at the same time roasts
what it terms its defects. The po
lice station itself is rapped as anti
quated. dilapidated and inadequate*.
The city of .Macon is given credit for
having a far better station. The
lack of a* ladies’ reception room in
the station, and the huddling to
gether of whites and blacks in the
prisoners’ rooms, while awaiting trial
in Police Court, also is roundly con
demned.
Un recommendation of f’hief Beav
ers. the Police Commission already
has asked the City Council to rem
edy these two glaring defects.

PENSACOLA FLA.. Dp,. 3. -After
a conference lasting from yesterday
morning to midnight, it was an
nounced to-day that the Pensaloca
Suite Bank, capitalized at J100.000,
had suspended business pending an
examination by the State t'omptrol-
ler. President F. K. Brawner issued
the following statement:
"Jl has been considered advisable
to caii on the State Comptroller to
make an examination of the affairs
of the Pensacola Stale Bank. • In
consequence the business of the bank
will be temporarly suspended. I feel
sure arrangements will soon be made
so all depositors will be paid.”
_ A representative of the State
Comptroller has arrived in the oitv. A
meeting of Jhe stockholders was held
this afternoon.
The city of Pensacola has on de
posit in the bank more than $100000,
but it is said that fund is protected
by bond. However, this is not cer
tain. as some claim the bond has ex
pired.
The bank is seven years old. and
has had several reversals, but recently
was supposed to be doing better. Oth
er banks in the city are not affected
and not much financial excitement
has resulted.

at the present time, after submit
ting the anonymous letter received by
Mr. Crawford.
Roth physicians expressed the opin
ion that a color or qualitative test for
poison four years after a body had
been in the grave should be regarded
as worthless, and that the quantita- I
five test was the proper method of
analysis.
Dr. Thrash, on cross-examination,
said he believed Dr. H. F. Harris to
be a capable man, but that he did not
consider him a chemist, that his po
sition as secretary of the State Board
of Health did not require that he
should he a chemist and that Dr.
Harris? was a pathologist.
Thrash on Stand Two Hours.
Attorney James suggested that Dr.
Harris had a laboratory and that ;i
was understood that anyone in r?ie |
State wanting an analysis would
send the subject to him. Dr. Thrash
explained that he also had a labora
tory and that there was a difference
between the laboratory of a chemist
and of a pathologist.
Dr. Thrash was ui? the stand for
more than two hours, his cross-ex
amination lasting nearly two hours,
and was followed by Dr. EBlock.
Both physicians declared that with
the lungs shriveled to one-third their
normal size after four j-ears in the
grave it would be impossible to tell
whether a person had died of pneu
monia.
Both corroborated the testimony * f
Dr. J, W. Hurt relative to the amount
of poison displayed by the color test
being no more than might be expect
ed from the cough syrup and mor
phine hypodermic given Crawford
during his last illness.
It was definitely settled that Mrs.
Crawford would take the stand in her
own defence. Reuben Arnold said he
would have his client tell her own
story and disprove what he termed
ridiculous charges founded on false
rumors.
