WEAPONS IN VICE FIGHT,
CHIEF US WRITES
Continued From Page 1.
nay. But I believe that there
are more decent people than indeceni
people, 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
lil fame in the city of Atlanta about
one year ago, and we have kept them
■losed. The law and the noble men
of the police department were my
n-papons to fight the battle with. But
1 want to say that there went before
us a flame of fire that burned away
the deadened consciences of the police
department and the public, and blazed
the way, and the good people of our
city stood by us for a clean city. And
all the good people of any city have
got to do is to stand together, and
the gates of hell will not prevail
against them.
•T made up my mind that I would
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.
"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
;he 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 take this question up and break
the bonds that bind the cities and the
vice promoters together, and release
the 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
Napoleon and Cromwell. He says:
“Without going Into a discussion of
this Important subject itself, we wish
to state that after observing at close
range the work and personality of
Chief James L. Beavers we are in
position to conclude that he Is not
exactly a saint, as he Is painted by
the extremists on one side, nor is he
the Satan or the visionary reformer
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 personal character, the
strong will of a Napoleon, the con
science of a Cromwell, and the un
limited courage of his convictions.
"It is a mistaken notion that Chief
Beavers was ever dictated to by any
set of reformers or preachers; nor
do the 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.
On recommendation of Chief 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, who 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.

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, j
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 be a chemist and that Dr. j
Harris was a pathologist.
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 i
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 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 J
whether a person had died of pneu
monia.
It was definitely settled that Mr.v
Crawford would take the stand in her
own defense.
