THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. FORREST ADAIR TO CRY DOLLS FOR XMAS FUND FORFJKST ADAIR. Mayor Woodward declared Wed nesday that the burning of the mag nificent ‘Winecoq home in Ansley Park showed clearly that section of the city must have a Are engine house and that he would drudge an appro priation for one before the Finance Committee in January. “Not only does that section need fire engin'e house, but it is without fire alarm boxes, despite the fact that the new fire alarm system is said to be complete.” said Mayor Woodward. "We need a. fire station in that sec tion and one out ,in the western sec tion of the city as soon as they can possibly be built. Lots alread>\ have been purchased and one- or more of these station^ must be built next year. “Other sections are urging fire en gine houses, but these must be built first.” Humphrsy to Lead Fight. Mayor Woodward said he read the editorial In The Georgian urging an engine house and equipment at once and that the appeal struck the right note. Councilman W. G. Humphrey, of the Eighth Ward, and chairman of the Finance Committee, insisted the first of the year that an appropriation be made for a station in that section of the Eighth Ward. In the switching of appropriations, however. only enough mfcfiey to buy a lot was left in the budget. Councilman Humphrey will lead a fight next year for the new station Protests from citizens of that sec tion, where many of th<> most bea i- tiful residences in the South are lo cated, that for a house to catch fire meant that it would be destroyed be cause of lack of protection, have been of little avail in getting action from Council. Now that a $100,0UO home "has gone j up In smoke as a sacrifice, the sta tion is likely to be built within a short time. Citizens Are Aroused. The residents are so aroused over what thej consider dSttcrlmingtion against them that they are ready to go before the Council Finance Com mittee in a body and insist on a new station. Also they will demand that fire alarm box* s be placed over-the area as soon as possible. Other beautiful homes have been consumed by tire just as the Wine-' coff home was. before the firemen ever reached tile scene. Men from the Nor ; h avenue station the near est one to that section, said that the flames had burst through the top of the Winecoff home before .they came in sight of it. They had to make a run of about fifteen Mocks. When they got 'here, there was not enough men and equipment to check the flames. INI I IllUrC RUN CTR Q ueeu Censors King’s VILLAIN U OUlLlIJ; Women Entertainers IA WEST POINT, Dec. 10. -Both the “lovers" were wounded and another barely escaped a bullet in the head when Jack Morgan, the “villain" in "The Northern Light,” a “meller drammer,” used a revolver loaded with real bullets instead of blank < art ridges during a tent show by the c.

A bullet burn ed her scalp. The wounding of the actors did not become generally known unil this morning. None of ijje wounds is con sidered serftouB, but it will be some time before .the actors can resume their parts.

Dec 10—Carry-1 jng banners Inscribed "For God, For <Country and For Home,” 1.0U0 dele gates of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League stormed Con gress to-day, demanding a constitu tional amendment providing for na tion-wide prohibition. Among those who marched on Con- gress were Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, of Portland, Maine, president of the W. C. T. U.: Miss A. A. Gordon, of Ev anston. 111.; Mrs. F. P Parks, of Svanston, 111.: Mrs. Elizabeth Hutch inson, of Wichita. Kane.: Mrs. Alary H. Armor, of Atlanta, Ga . and Mrs Ella Boole, of New York. The women also demand legislation prohibiting moving picture producers from show ing the interior of saloons, "because of the decadent Idea of sug gesting intoxication to the minds of the young.” A stricter censorship of moving pictures is also urged. The women posed on the steps of the Capitol for moving pictures, after which addresses on the need of pro hibition were made. Texan to Introduce Bill. The delegates packed the wide mar ble steps leading to the east entrance of the Capitol and overflowed to the plaza below. The women were massed at the left and the men at the right. The thermometer was hoveling around the freezing point and many of the more elderly delegates were forced to retire to the Interior Capitol to keep warm. President Baker, of the Anti- Saloon League, introduced Senator Sheppard, of Texas, who said: "On behalf of Representative Hob son and myself I accept the honor of introducing into both houses of Con gress a bill for nation-wide prohibi tion as a sacred trust. I am and al ways have been a foe of the liquor traffic.” Representative Hobson did not speak on account of a cold. Declaring that the liquor traffic in “prohibition States’’ is continuing with almost the same intensity as be fore the legislation against it, former Governor Patterson of Tennessee de manded national action against the liquor evil. Takes Up Fight. Mrs. Armor, the last speaker, de clared that the W. C. T. U. “Intends to keep up the fight against saloons until every one In the country is wiped out of existence.” The 2,000 shivering men and wom en then made a rush for the nearest lunch rooms for hot coffee.
