PC7MD ra f Chief of Police Beavers and Ills secretary. W. T Morris, have en larged their fund of religious knowl edge within the past few weeks. A newspaper man with a propen sity for religious arguments left a copy of the Koran, the Mohammedan Bible, in the ehrief’s offleo the other day. and after Mr Morris got through reading it If*' turned if over to the chief and the chief read it. from the creation of man from clots of blood down to the aura about the sow. Ami then the chief locked the hook in the bottom drawer of ids desk so none of his men could read it, for there are p;r-sages iri tie- Koran that con flict with some of the chiefs most positive ideas and declarations.

He walked from the Ansley Hotel to Five J’oints. back up Peachtree to the Piedmont, and i hen buck down Peachtree and Whitehall t o Mitchell street. And then, of course, lie joined the 200,000 other people who chuckle with pride when you mention Atlanta, and who will g" without their dinner to ex plain why Atlanta is the greatest city on earth. Mr. Osborn Tuts been here now five days and vows vehemently that he is a first-class Atlantan from the tips of his fingers to the tips of I.ls shoe. "For." he says, "you’ve got to boost tin* blessed town after you’ve been liyre five minutes. 1 never saw Huch a bunch of boosters in my life; ev erybody’s doin’ it all the time. Which is all right and proper. because they’ve got something worth boost ing." Take it from us, who used to know Mr. Osborn in Illinois, that he was a live wire in his home town, and if he boosts Atlanta like lie did Quincy— Atlanta’s going to get an awful lot of first class and productive boosting. Continued From Page 1. oner, the court should wash its hands of the matter altogether "In this case Judge Roan should have cleared the courtroom. fb should have summoned sufficient force to keep the crowds from collecting in the street. He should have punished to ’ c extent of the law. by imprison- merit, every person applauding and stamping his feet and crying out in the courtroom; and, finally llie.se measures failing, lie should have granted a mistrial, and nave held tin* trial i^t a time and plate tChen if would be free from such unseemly influences. The turn which this case took un der the evidence of the negro Jim Donley, who testified to acts of tier- version, brought this case squarely under section 5885 of the Code of Georgia, as a case where the evident e was vulgar and obscene and tended to debauch the morals of the young, and the judge had the right, either in his own discretion or »»n motion of either side, to clear the courtroom from all members of the public. "That Judge Roan did not meet the occasion with sufficiently, drastic ac tion is held, we think, by a number of cases Judge Roan never once took any action, but merely stated in a very mild way what he would do if the disturbances occurred again. He admonished the crowd once or twice that he would clear the courtroom, but the disturbances were repeated ! and the courtroom never was clearer Referring to the demonstrations | that took place while the jury was I being polled, the argument says: "It is perfectly obvious that if poll- ! ing tiie jury is a substantial right, it amounted to nothing imthis case, b* - cause of the demonstration which not , only overawed the jury , but made L almost impossible for the court to I hear their responses.
