Chief’s Retort to Adair's Charges “I challenge Mr. Adair, or any- ; one else, to produce proof of his statement that the vice crusade has scattered vice throughout the city and that there are immoral houses on the downtown streets or in the residence sections. If he knows of such places he should tell me, for when I closed the houses’ district, Mr. Adair was one !> of several real estate men who promised me their co-operation by refusing to rent property to the banned women.”—From Chief Bea vers reply to the statement of Forrest Adair that the vice cru sade has only spread vice in At lanta. Chief of Police Beavers, replying Monday to Forrest Adair’s al lusions 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 thel downtown streets and in the residence section. He declared that he is surprised at Mr. Adair’s attitude, and that when he entered the general order closing the houses, he served Mr. Adair, in common with other real estate dealers, with a notice to cease renting prop erty for immoral purposes, and that Mr. Adair promised to co operate with him. The chief also declared that if he is mined, as Mr. Adair stated, he has been mined 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.” 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.” “The work of the Executive Committee of the Movement will continue as it has done in the past,” declared Mr. Eagan Mon day. L‘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. Bulletins to Continue. “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 be 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 of 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 the 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 be noticed, Marion Jackson, a prominent member of the committee and author of the bulletins, declared Monday morning that Colonel Faxon’s and Mr. Adair’s attacks “probably would be 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 cf the Men and Religion Movement would be called was made by a number of business men Mon day. many of them declaring that Wilson Puts Lid on Politics; He Doesn’t Like Bad Weather PASS CHRISTIAN, MISS..
