Beavers to Continue War.
More Raids Likely.
Sweeping: reforms in th<f methods -if
conducting the locker clubs and caba
rets of Atlanta have been promised
by Recorder Broyles, who has joined
Chief Beavers in the warfare.
The Recorder imprdtesed 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 if the police will arrest the men
who run these places and bring them
here. I will see that they are pun

abomination to a community, and one
of the worst evils we encounter.”

, day in which Commissioner Price,
I who had summoned them, accepted

certain unintended violations.
Five druggists were summoned on
the report of T. A. Cheatham. Stute

BOMBAY, INDIA, Dec. 19— An
echo of the financial crash in India
came to-day with the arrest of Jaffar
Goosur, manager of the'Credit Bank
bine with the Grand Jury and aid tnatf 0 f India, on the charge of criminal
body in an investigation, which, it
is said, will be undertaken.

investigation will be based on the I .
recent activities of detectives and
members of tne vice squad, and the|
evidence which Chief Beavers says
■uis men have obtained against tne
places.
Members of the Grand Jury refused
Friday' morning to discuss the pro
posed inquiry, and it is not known
what methods the Grand Jury wul
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 ne
clubs and endeavor to determine
whether there is sufficient violation
of the law to warrant the indictment
of the managers of the clubs.
Another secret meeting will be held
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 Charges.
The test of strength between the
police and the clubs will come at the I
irial 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 9-iuad men.
Judge Broyles' entry into tlie field
followed a raid by members of Chief
Beavers' vice squad on a cabaret show
at Broad and Walton streets and the
arrest of B. E. Shirley, who claims
to be a business man: Evelyn Gray,
who says siie is a saleswoman, and
K. T. Howell, manager of the place.
The Recorder fined Shirley and the
Gray woman $25.75 each on charges
of disorderly conduct, and held Hom-
eli 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.
-1 am not astonished that such
ulaces exist in our midst,” said the
Recorder, ‘but I am deeply grieved,
more deeply grieved than words can
tell. Our morals are being raised :o
a plane where such places are repul
sive, and we can not suffer them to
exist.”
