Forrest Adair Joins Colonel Paxon!
in Attack on "Men and Re

Continued From Page 1.
Tho f ntirf* department now seems
to be crvstallized around a so-called
'vice squad,’ while footpads ply their
trade unmolested, and a barefoot bur
glar, who for four years has terror
ized residential ^notions of the city,
feels perfectly secure in his midnight
operations
“I’ntil Mr. Paxon spoke, none of the
conservative citizens have lifted their
voices in protest, and therefore some
m e have jrnined the impression that
public opinion has been hACklng up
this crusade. In mv opinion. If It
\ere nut to a vote an overwhelming
ir «joritv of the citizens of Atlanta
would say that it Is time to call a.
Public Is Disgusted, He Says.
These bulletins and other sensa
tional notices In the newspapers have
■ urt our town. Lverv time a man is
• aught with a woman it is termed a
ase of ’white slavery,’ until the pub-
; c is disgusted
”T know that all of this agitation
Las urt Atlanta. It creates the im
pression upon outsiders that we are
worse than we are, and makes them
• sitate about bringing their families
to Atlanta to live, and I for one will
• elcome the day when we return to a
condition of sanity, and I think Mr.
Paxon will have done the city of At
lanta a great service by his courage
In calling attention to conditions
which the vast majority of the public,
know are true.”
Leaders of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement refused Monday
morning to enter the controversy per
sonally. although Marion Jackson,
secretary of the Executive Commit
tee and author of the bulletins, threw
own the gauntlet to Colonel Paxon
and bis associates with the statement
that the criticism of the bulletins
v ill not alter the future work or pub-
aliens of the movement
Committee Meets Monday.
“I shall not make the matter per
sonal,” Mr. Jackson said, “for the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment. through its executive commit
tee. speaks for the churches of At
lanta and not for any individual. I»
goes without saying that Colonel
T*axnn’s statement in yesterday’s
Vmerlcan will have no bearing or ef
fect on our future plans, and we will
not abandon our campaign of bulle
tins merely on account of personal
MfTerences of opinion regarding theif
effect.”
The regular weekly meeting of the
• xecutlv * committee of the move
ment will be held Monday afternoon
but Mr Jackson refused to state
whether there whs any likelihood of
iffloial action being taken rb a result
«f Mr. Faxon’s criticism.
“The matter probably will be men
tioned.” be said.
It Is generally understood that
many members of the executive com
mittee favor the preparation and pub-
'ration of a reply to Colonel Paxon’s
attack, and it also has been Inti
mated that some sort of official ac
tion will be taken at the meeting to-
>ay Mr. Jackson s reticence regard
ing the probable steps the committee
will take appears to bear out the lat-
1 v rumor.
Business Men L'kely to Act.
Interest in the fight started bv
olonel Paxon centers now in the
probable action that may result from
•he informal conferences of business
men that have been held for the past
several weeks, when the advisability
of denouncing the bulletins was dJs-
ussed by some of the most promi
nent men in the city. That this
group of business men will take some
action is regarded as an almost abso
lute certainty
The nature of this action is, of
ourse. unknown It is understood,
however, that the men who oppose
the bulletins on the ground that they
re harmful and destructive will
withdraw their financial support to
; he Men and Religion Forw ard Move-
nent and withhold it until the load
ers of the movement agree to confine
Their operations to the work for which
i hev say the mov ement was orlg
inaily organized the spreading of

I having frequently visited his daugh-

I trouble, but had recovered sufficiently
August to return to Virginia. He
iurvived by Ins wife and Mrs. Roy.
It Isn’t often that political jobs go
a-begging, but Atlanta has the
unique distinction of live offices of
honor open and but one candidate.
There places are on the Park Board,
which will have that number of va
cancies by the resignation of Presi
dent J. (>. Cochran anil other mem
bers of the board.
President Cochran will resign Jan
uary 1. Ben Lee Crew has been
named l>\ the Eighth Ward delega
tion to succeed to the place made va
cant by the transfer of Frank Rey
nolds to a seat in the City Council.
Mr. Crew is the only candidate men
tioned so far. Other places to be
made vacant are those held by Charles
1. Bra nan, of the First Ward; T. K.
Bond, of the Fourth, and C. A. Pitts,
of the Fifth.
Rumors are rife as to who will be
the man to succeed Cochran as Pres
ident of the board. William Van
Houten is being mentioned, while if
Branan is returned it Is regarded as
certain that he will be a candidate
for the place.

Negro Cabman Arrested Denies
Knowledge of Robbery—Police
After Alleged Accomplices.
With a negro cabman Torn Bow
man, uuder arrest or; jSi - ri >1
having driven Jason A. Rosier to ihe
alley off Decatur street where he was
assaulted and robbed and left half
dead, detectives Monday morning be
gan a search for two other negroes,
who also are under suspicion.
The clews connecting the two ne
groes with the assault were unearthed
by a brother of the injured man, wnc
told the police late Saturday night his
reasons for suspecting them. He went
with two detectives on a search for
tho nogroe9, but was unable to find
them. The theory connecting the ne
groes and the negro Bowman with the
crime is that Bowman, having secured
Rosier as a •fare,” drove him to the
alley, where the young man wajs
pulled from the cab and assaulted and
robbed by the other two, who lay in
wait for their victim. Roster’s broth
er says a $350 diamond stud and /i
gold watch w'hich the injured man
wore are missing.
Bowman denies all knowledge
Rosier. He declares that he never
had a white man in his cab Friday
night, and that throughout Friday and
Saturday he was not in the vicinity
of the robbery. He probably w'ill be
grilled by detectives Monday in on
effort to induce him to help unravel
the mystery.
The condition of the wounded man
appears to be growing worse. Sun
day he was still unable to talk, and
has not said a word since he was
found.

Baking Powder.
Mrs. Wilson’s Baking Motto is:
"To have complete success with
no failures, care should be used
in selection of Baking Powder.”
CALUMET
BAKING POWDER
Some little time ago I made a careful study and investigation of the
baking powder subject and I feel fully repaid. I am firmly convinced
from the results I have received that there is no baking powder to
equal Calumet for wholesomeness and economy, and I also recommend
Calumet Baking Powder for its never failing results.
December 9, 1913. Mrs. Betty Lyler Wilson.
Calumet also received the Highest Awards at the World's Pure Food
Exposition, Chicago and Paris, France, 1912.

it in your Holiday Bakings, making your Christmas Cakes
as good as the President s.
