ORDERED
Officials Consolidate Powers to
Put Lid on Boisterous Cele
bration.
Pistol toters” and other boister
ous Christmas celebrants will meet
with short shrift from the Beavers-
Iroyles combination Thursday.
Recorder Broyles issued his pro-
nunciamento Wednesday in giving
James Moon, a negro, the limit for
> -ting firearms within the city lim-
s and then binding him over to the
rand Jury under $200 oond for rar-
ng a concealed weapon.
The Recorder made it plain that no
mercy would be shown offenders of
is type, whom he branded as the
most dangerous people at large on
Christmas Day. “It will be the
stockade or the chaingang for every
person that is convicted,” he de
clared.
Chief Joins Broyles.
Judge Broyles’ denunciation of “pis-
i toters” was hardly concluded be-
‘ re Jt became known that Chief of
Police Beavers had joined in the war
against this class of celebrants and
had issued special and stringent in-
ftructions to his men immediately
arrest any person, regardless of
his prominence, who was found vio-
ating any of the city ordinances In
respect to the carrying or discharge
|of weapons.
I am determined to break up the
dangerous practice of discharging
firearms in the city and am going to
give offenders the limit of the law,”
announced the judge. “It not only
is a violation of the law to shoot a
pistol in the city, but it is exceed
ingly dangerous, and it is going to be
the stockade and chaingang for
those who do it.”
The Chief’s Order.
Here is what the Chief told his
men:
“There must be no boisterous con
duct on the streets during the holi
day.
Any disorder that the policeman
observes must be dealt with just as
strictly as on any other day. If any
thing. file police must be more watch
ful than usual.
“No 'pistol toting’ is to be coun
tenanced.
There must be no discharge of
firearms of any sort within the city
fmits.
"If anyone is seen on the streets
*ith a weapon in his hand you are
ordered to make an immediate case
?ainst the offender.
"If a firearm is discharged on the
roet a case must be made.”
Promise Sane Christmas.
Recorder Broyles and the Chief said
odnesday that Atlanta would have
safe and sane” Christmas if it
* as in their power to bring such a
condition about.
Sufficient warning has been given.”
asserted the Recorder. “It is a per-
80n ’ 8 own fault if he runs afoul the
; aw - For my part, I am going to
tack up the Chief by giving these
® or t of persons the limit.”

Explains He Feared
Mob, But Is Fined
For Carrying Pistol
Fear that he and his friend were
going to be “mobbed” by the crowd
that gathered about them was the
excuse offered by J. P. Green, a trav
eling salesman, in Recorder’s Court
Wednesday for drawing his pistol
Tuesday night and threatening to
shoot the first man that made a move
toward him.
Green and his friend, C. P. O'Far-
re!l, were going home Tuesday night,
when several persons at a street
corner undressed some remarks to
O’Farrell about a miniature Christ
mas tree ho had.
O’Farrell is said to have replied in
kind and there shortly was a small
sized riot in prospect. Green rushed
to his friend's aid, opening his grip
and drawing a pistol.
Plainclothesmen Fortson and Green
were in the crowd and arrested them.
Each was fined $10.75 and Green was
bound over to the Grand Jury under
bond of $100.
ATLANTA T
KEEP FORT
TRADE
Major General Aleshire Makes
Clear Order Regarding Army
Supply Purchases.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Atlanta
merchants who want an opportunity
to bid on subsistence supplies for
Fort McPherson are not to be de
prived of that privilege. Major Gen
eral Aleshire,' chief quartermaster
general of the army, to-day wrote
Congressman William Schley How
ard to this effect. Mr. Howard re
cently protested to the War Depart
ment against an order issued by the
Department of the East, which was
construed to mean that the Fort
McPherson supplies must be pur
chased from New York. General
Aleshire says the War Department
lias no intention of taking steps in-
i imical to local merchants if the prices
are satisfactory and that Circular 31
has been misunderstood.
Congressman Howard expressed
gratification to-day over this receipt
of General Aleshire’s letter clearing
up the situation.
“Atlanta merchants are to get the
business if they quote competitive
prices.” said Congressman Howard.
“Upon pressing this matter upon the
War Department I have ascertained
the policy is to give the business to
the local merchants if thev can
meet New York prices with freight
included. I believe the Atlanta , *ier-
chants are entitled to the business at
Fort McPherson and are capable of
getting it.”
Precedent Broken in
White House‘Santa’
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—For the

wren were remembered with gifts
delivered in two big loads by the
White House automobiles.
There were big roast turkeys for
widowed mothers with children, and
every kind of toy for the children.

of $1075 each in two cases, one for
disorderly conduct and the other far
drunkenness. *
Damp Christmas Is

Messenger, Trailed a Year, Ar
rested Here, Reveals Syste
matic Robbery.
The first arrest under the Carlin
law covering mail train thefts, wheth
er from the Government, persona or
corporations, was made in Atlanta
Thursday morning when James
Thomas Turner, an express messen
ger, was taken in custody at the
Terminal Station by Pinkerton de
tectives and Deputy United States
Marshal Lee Whatley, following a
year’s investigation.
At first vehemently denying the
charge. Turner finally confessed. He
was taken to the United States Mar
shal’s office, where he spent several
hours writing a list of the articles
intrusted to his care which he had
taken from the express cars of the
Southern Express Company during
the last year.
^ Turner _ lgffpi) in the express?
service two years and now resides at
Washington, D. C. Prior to his con
nection with the company he was in
business at Lavonla, Ga., where he
resided for many y$nrs. He is 26
years old and married.
Detectives Put in Cars.
For nearly a year the Southern
Express Company has endeavored to
get evidence against a number of
messengers and members Nof train
crews suspected of a systematic rob
bery of the company.
Detectives have been placed as
helpers to express messengers and in
tiie train crews and a mass of evi
dence which probably will result In
wholesale arrests has been accumu
lated. According to the Pinkertons,
Turner’s arrest resulted from his
boasts and confidences to his helpers,
some of whom were Pinkerton men.
A dressed chicken stolen from an ex
press Shipment was presented by him
to a detective-helper. His first thefts
were of food, he confessed.
Turner next began appropriating
small articles of clothing. Then he
took overcoats and shotguns. He al
ways passed these things out to some
one along the line and never took
anything in at the end of his run,
either at Washington or Atlanta.
Took Only Certain Packages.
His regulur run was on train No.
37, between Washington and Atlanta.
He arrived in Atlanta Tuesday after
noon and was hoarding a train at
the Terminal Station Wednesday
morning for his return trip when ar
rested.
In his thefts Turner did not touch
packages originating in and billed for
points in Southern Express Company
territory. Rut packages coming into
Adams Express Company territory
along the Southern Express Company
line's and originating in Adams Ex
press Company territory and billed
for Southern Express Company points
and through shipments, were the ones
taken by him. None of the packages
opened by him could be checked di
rectly against him.
His method was not to take pack
ages containing single articles. If
there were four quarts of whisky in a
package he would take one. The
package would go on to its destina
tion and the protest for shortage
would be made against the shipper,
and the blame be placed on the ship
ping clerk for failure to make a com
plete shipment.
Officials of the Southern Express
Company are elated over Turner’s
arrest. The systematic robbing which
has been carried on for more than a
year has worried them greatly, and
in Turner’s detection they believe they
have opened the. way for the arrest of
other men.
