SPIES JOINS o'S'p'SStw 1
Pledges Aid to Police, Urging
Beavers to Continue War.
More Raids Likely.
Sweeping: reforms In the methods of
onducting the locker clubs and caba
rets of Atlanta have been promised
by Recorder Broyles, who has joined
chief Beavers In the warfare.
The Recorder impressed upon the
police the necessity for continued ac
tivity against the clubs and amuse
ment resort, declaring there are many
dives in Atlanta that should be abol
ished.
“We are depending upon the police
to do it,” he declared. “1 will do my
part :f the police will arrest the men
who run these places and bring them
here. I will see that they are pun
ished A disorderly place is an
abomination to a community, and one
of ttie worst evils we encounter.”
It is understood that Chief Beav
ers and Recorder Broyles will com
bine with the Grand Jury and aid that
body in an investigation, which. It
is said, will be undertaken.
beavers Says He Has tvidence.
It is probaoie mat the Uranu Jury
investigation will be based on the
recent activities of detectives and
members of the vice squad, and the
evidence which Chief Beavers says
nis men have obtained against the
places.
Members of the Grand Jury refused
Friuay morning to discuss the pro
posed inquiry, and it is not known
what methods the Grand Jury wid
pursue. At a meeting late Thurs
day the investigation was made he
subject of extended discussion and
suggestion, and the outcome of the
agitation probably will be the ap
pointment of a committee to visit ‘.he
clubs and endeavor to determine
whether there is sufficient violation
of tiie law to warrant the indictment
of the managers of the clubs.
Another secret meeting will be h ?ld
Friday, and it is probable that some
plan of conducting the investigation
will be outlined.
Chief Beavers and Chief of Detec
tives Lanford have declared they will
continue their espionage over the
locker clubs and cabarets, and that
every effort will be made to detect
violations.
Seven Manager? Face Charge*.
The test of strength between the
police and the clubs will come at the
trial of the seven managers who were
arrested several days ago and against
whom Chief Beavers and Chief Lan
ford declare that they have strong
evidence, gathered by the detectives
and the vice wquad men.
Judge Broyles' entry into the fieL
followed a raid by members of Chief
Beavers’ vice squad on a cabaret show
hi Broad and Walton streets and the
arrest of B. E. Shirley, who claims
to he a business man; Evelyn Gray,
who says she is a saleswoman, and
E. T. Howell, manager of the place.
The Recorder fined Shirley and the
Grav woman $25.75 each on charges
of disorderly conduct, and held How-
e . to the higher courts in bonds of
$500,‘charged with maintaining a d's
orderly house In a restaurant.
Judge Scores Cabarets.
Prior to the sentencing of Miss
Gray and Shirley, Judge Broyles de
livered a lecture to them, warning
them to stay away from such places
and warning Howell that improper
conduct at his place ‘must cease.
• I am not astonished that such
aces exist in our midst,” said the
Recorder, “but 1 am deeply grievea,
more deeply grieved than words can
-.ell. Our morals are being raised :o
a plane where such places are repul
sive, and we can not suffer them to
exist.”
Four druggists back at their re- 1
spective places of business Friday
morning resolved to steer clear of ,
any more complications with the i
pure food laws, after a hearing Thurs-!
day in which Commissioner Price, i
who had summoned them, accepted
as satisfactory their explanation of 1
certain unintended violations.
Five druggists were summoned on ;
the report of T. A. Cheatham, State
Drug Inspector. All. responded ex- '
cept T. K. Turner, a negro, charged j
with selling narcotics without a pre- i
scription. His case is pending.
