Police Seek Youth for
Kicking Glass Doors
The police Monday are searching
for a young man. well dressed and
supposed to be Insane, who kicked in
the glass doors of the Cronheim Phar
macy at Pryor street and Georgia
avenue, and the Melton Pharmacy at
Pryor and Garnett streets early Mon
day morning, walked in, turned
around and walked right out again.
In neither store was anything missing
when the owners of the place, camo to
work.
Neighbors who saw the strange an
tics telephoned the police, and Cap
tain Poole answered with a squad of
men.
With developments of Monday indicating that the attack by
Colonel Frederic J. Paxon on the propaganda of the Men and Re
ligion Forward Movement, backed by the sensational statement of
Forrest Adair that the vice crusade and the closing of the restricted
district had merely scattered the evil it sought to exterminate, will
be followed by a meeting to protest against the issuance of the ob
jectionable bulletins, John J. Eagan, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Movement, definitely outlined the attitude of the
Men and Religion Forward Movement when he declared that the
criticisms are ‘ ‘ useless and will be absolutely without effect. ’ ’
Chief of Police Beavers, replying to Mr. Adair’s allusions to
himself and to the statements that the vice crusade had only spread
the social evil throughout the city, challenged Mr. Adair to produce
the proof of the existence of immoral houses on the downtown
streets and in the residence section. He declared that he is sur
prised at Mr. Adair’s attitude, and that when he entered the gen
eral order closing the houses, he served Mr. Adair, in common with
other real estate dealers, with a notice to cease renting property
for immoral purposes, and that Mr. Adair promised to co-operate
with him.
The chief also declared that if he is ruined, as Mr. Adair stated,
he has been ruined because he tried to enforce the law, “regard
less of Mr. Adair or Mr. Anyone else, who tried to keep him from
doing his duty.’’
“The work of the Executive
Committee of the Movement will
continue as it has done in the
past,’’ declared Mr. Eagan Mon
day. “We will take no official
notice of the criticism of Colonel
Paxon, nor of the editorial which
he printed in the official paper of
his Bible School class, which has
but a limited circulation and
therefore little influence.
"The bulletins will continue, clothed
In the language that we deem neces
sary. Tuesday Is our regular day to
Issue a bulletin, and one can he ex
pected to-morrow, probably along the
same lines that the recent ones have
been. The bulletin will not mention
the criticisms, although there may be
some indirect reference to them.
"Criticism of the movement and ot
the bulletins which the executive
committee are issuing Is useless, and
will have no effect whatever on our
future work. We are satisfied with
what we are doing and will continue
doing it.”
The executive committee of ,th«
movement will hold a meeting at the
Baptist Tabernacle Monday after
noon, which is eagerly awaited by
those who have engaged in the con
troversy. Although Mr. Eagan has
stated that the criticisms will not b»
noticed, Marion Jackson, a prominent
member of the committee and author
of the bulletins, declared Monday
morning that Colonel Paxon’g and
Mr. Adair's attacks "probably would
bo mentioned,"
Newspaper Men Barred.
Mr. Jackson stated also Monday
that newspaper men would not be ad
mitted to the meeting, but that It
would be strictly executive. It is
problematical whether a statement
will be Issued at its close.
Intimation that a meeting to pro
test against the bulletins and the
propaganda of the Men. and Religion
Movement would be called was made
by a number of business men Mon
day, many of them declaring that
such meeting would be the logical re
sult of the criticism and agitation.
Forrest Adair declared that such a
meeting appeared very likely.
The Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, presi
dent of the Evangelical Ministers’
Association, which controls the ac
tions of the executive committee, de
clared Monday morning that official
action by the association is very like
ly should the criticisms attain con
siderable proportions and should de
velopments warrant It.
Tn Doriop at Ymao The commlttee ’* actions and the
XU UttUuC a\j /VUiao publication of the bulletins clothed in
TVpp "pAV TlirmrPT’PlTl their present language have the
XJ.UUJ.UJ. XUiUVCJUiU hearty approval of the association.
Dr. Schaeffer declared, "and we are
of the opinion that they are doing a
lot of gr >d. The association mee’s
next Monday morning at 10:30 o’clock
and some action probably will be
taken at that time, provided the at
tack grows to large enough propor
tions to warrant-it.”

Dr. Collier Cobb, of the University
of North Carolina, who has made a
special study on the effect of geo
graphical situation and transporta-

growth and progress, said Monday
i fiat Atlanta was the most ideally lo

that it should make even more start

Dr. Cobb is in Atlanta attending

Gateway of North and South.
Atlanta’s opportunities for com-
nn i o and manufacture are incalcu
lable. It is the center from w-hlch
many railroads radiate. It is the
gateway between the North and the
South, between the Northwest and
the Southeast.
Location near raw material is not
nearly so important to the develop
ment and growth of manufacturing
ndustries as transportation facili
ties. Take New^ Bedford, Mass., for
example. It is not anywhere near

There is much still to be done, but

Warns of Sex Teaching.
Dr. Edmund B. Wilson, of Colum
bia University, president of the as
sociation, issued a note of warning
-Monday to those who are advocating
the wholesale and indiscriminate
Ladling of sex hygiene to children
all ages in the public schools.
Dr. Wilson made it plain that he
favored the teaching of sex hygiene
hi the higher instiutions of learning
competent and tactful instructors,
*’ that he was a bit fearful that the
J as for the teaching of sex topics
fiLght carry the idea to a dangerous

P<
folk.
H is the parents of America wiio

a most delicate question.
Wilson Puts Lid on
Politics; He Doesn't
Like Bad Weather
PASS CHRISTIAN. MISS.. Dec. 29.
“No admittance to politicians” is the
word that went out of the winter
White House to-day when President
Wilson learned that a number of
Southern leaders of his party were
planning to come here to interview
him on patronage and other subjects
during his vacation.
The President is deeply disappoint
ed by the continued cold weather. He
had to golf under leaden skies to-day.
He has eliminated all work possi
ble. and to-day sent to Washington
some of the business which he had
originally planned to care for. The
White House staff will have to attend
to it.
The President has for breakfast
daily the freshest of fresh eggs. They
come by* parcel post from the Missis
sippi Experimental Farm, and thus
far none has been broken in transit.
Record Scarcity of
Police Court Cases
It may be due to the strained con
dition of Atlanta’s pocketbook so soon
after the holidays, or it may be due to
the remnant of Christmas spirit that
fills the civic heart—but there were
only 39 cases docketed at police head
quarters Monday for both sessions of
Recorder’s Court
It is the smallest number in the his
tory of the court, and has occasioned
considerable comment among police
and court officials. Usually on Mon
day the cases number all the way
from 150 to 250.

Inquest Begun Into Death of
Seventy-two—Moyer Still
Very III of Wounds,
BIG RAPIDS, MICH., Dec. 29.—In
scholarly language. Governor Ferris
of Michigan to-day told the United
States Government, as represented
by Special Investigator John B.
Densmore, to mind its own business.
Mr. Densmore stopped here between
trains for a conference with the
Michigan executive before gjing to
the copper country to investigate the
strike for Secretary of Labor Wil-
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ROME, Dec. 29.—Hope of finding
the latest will of Cardinal Rampolla
has virtually been given up, and to
day a testament made and signed by
the Cardinal 24 years ago was pub
licly read In the presence of the lkte
Prelate’s sister, Baroness Perana, and
her husband.
This will named Baroness Perkna
the J^frle heir, with the exception of a
few r unimportant legacies.
The police are still trying to solve
the mystery of the missing docu
ment, and detectives are making a
thorough search of quarters where it
is believed that the testament may
have been secreted. The authorities
hold the theory that the will has not
been destroyed, but has been hidden.
On account of opposition from the
family of the dead Prelate and from
Pope Pius X. it is probable that the
exhumation of the body will be defi
nitely abandoned.
U.S.Put Next to China

“The Federal Government has no
business in the copper country,” sa£d
Governor Ferris. "If Michigan wene
not doing its duty, -it—would b4* ttt$
Government’s duty to step in. But
| Michigan is doing its duty. There is
a grand jury in Houghton right now
from which Mr. Moyer or anybody
else can get fair play.”
Mr. Densmore left immediately
after the conference for the North.

which was imbedded near the spine
of Charles H. Moyer, president of

operation at St. Luke’s Hospital. The

was fired into his back when he was
attacked by a mob of citizens in
Houghton, Mich., where he was di
recting the strike of copper miners.
Dr. George V. Hilton said the oper
ation was successful, and that in a
shore time Moyer would be able to
leave his bed.
