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.

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 ae cotton belt, it isn’t near the coal fields, and it isn’t near the source ot ti e greatest food supplies, and yet it turns out the finest cotton products ■ the world. That is because it has • ' \ eloped its transportation faedi- Atlanta has done the same thing. There is much still to be done, but she is in a strategic position right how. The opening of the Panama Canal ' u! be a direct benefit to Atlanta, h he canal will boom the Southern ports, and they in turn will contrib- Ui0 io Atlanta's prosperity.” Warns of Sex Teaching.

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.
