N VICE FIGHT,
CHIEF eras WRITES

-iat war. But I believe fhat there
,,re more decent people than indecent
,jeopl«. All they have to do is to
nuke up to their duty.”
Law and Men Weapons.
The Chief refers to conditions in
Atlanta in this way:
We closed all the houses of
id fame in the city of Atlanta about
,,ne year ago, and we have kept them
dosed. The law and the noble men
,1" the police department were my
weapons to fight the battle with. But
1 want to say that there went before
,s a flame of fire that burned away
*ie deadened consciences of the police
apartment and the public, and blazed
rhe way, and the good people of our
city stood by us for a clean city. And
.ill the good people of any city have
got to do is to stand together, and
i he gates of hell will not prevail
against them.
"1 made up my miryl that I would
do what my conscience told me was
right regardless of what the result
might be. So I gave the order, and
j 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
.ill we have got to do is just to eon-
i mue to enforce the law against such
places as we do other laws.
"We 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
have decreased also.
“Men may and will violate the law,
but it is not necessary that they
should do so. it 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 have
been closed will be contemptible be
fore the people. I 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
are 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 tafee this question up and break
the bonds that bind the cities and the
vice promoters together, and release
Jhe unfortunate slaves from a life of
eternal ruin.”
Like Napoleon and Cromwell.
In a strong character study of
Chief Beavers, A1 H. Dunlap, man
ager of the municipal section of The
Detective, compares the chief to
Xapoieon and -Cromwell. He says:
"Without going into a discussion of
this imrwriant subject itself, we wish
hi state that after Observing at close
range the work and personality of
Chief 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

f
that he is pictured by those who are
opposed to the vice crusade. Instead
he is a normal human being with rich
red blood in his veins, possessing a
powerful ersonal character, the
strong will of a Xapoieon. the con
science of a Cromwell, and the un
limited courage of his convictions.
“It is a. mistakefi notion that Chief
Beavers was ever dictated to by an>
set of reformers or preachers; nor
do £he 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 dq 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
feood 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 AJacon 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.
On recommendation of Chief Beav
ers. the Police Commission already
has asked the City Council to rem
edy these two glaripg defects.
This special Atlanta number of
The Detective is regarded by Sec
retary W. T. Morris, of the Police
Relief Association, who supervised it,
as a great advertisement for Atlanta.

with individual and group photo
graphs, and in all it is an attractive
issue.

Comptroller has arrived in the city. A
meeting of the stockholders was held
this afternoon.
The city of Pensacola has on de
posit in the bank more than $3 00000,
but it is wild 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.
Both 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
tive test was the proper method of
analysis.
Dr. Thrash, on cross-examination,
said he believed Dr. H. F. Harris to I
be a capable man. but that he did not
consider him a chemist, that his po
sition as secretary of the State Board
After j °f Health did not require that he
should be 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 it
was understood that anyone in the
►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. Thrush was on the stand for
more than two hours, his cross-ex
amination lasting nearly two hours,
and was followed by Dr. Block.
Both physicians declared that with
the lungs shriveled to one-third their
normal size after four years in the
grave it would be impossible to tell
whether a person had died of pneu
monia.
Both corroborated the testimony < ?
Dr. J, \V. 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 defense. Reuben Arnold •said he
would have his client tell her own
story and disprove what he termed
ridiculous charges founded on false
rumors.
