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 May Settle Pie Row By Creating 2 Jobs | CHARLESTON, S.

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. This special Atlanta number of The Detective is regarded by Sec retary W. T. Morris, of the Police Relief Association, \vho supervised it. as a great advertisement for Atlanta. The numerous pages are adorned with individual and group photo graphs. and in all it is an attractive issue. Anonymous Writer Warning Cap italist Is Denounced by Defense. Continued From Page 1.

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.

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. Fireman Killed and Conductor Scalded SELMA, ALA., Dec.
