I am thoroughly in accord with
tne views of Mr. Adair and Colonel j
Paxon," Mr. Murphy said. "Some of
the bulletins that have been published
have been disgraceful. They have
one incalculable harm to the city by j
creating false impressions in toe
minds of people all over the country l
that Atlanta is reeking with wicked
ness and vice, and they have been !
harmful to the Immature minds of
the boys and girls who read them ,
Something should be done at once to j
« urb the activities of the movement, j
to prevent the publication of the bul
letins and to induce the Men and Re
gion Forward Movement to confine
- operations to the promulgation of
t e ideas on which the movement
was originally bated "
A statement was issued to-day by
Forrest Adair, in which he vigorou*-
indorsed Colonel Paxon’.? criticism
.»f the "bulletins." and declared that
the vice crusade and the closing of
the restricted district had had no
g >d effect, but had merely scattered
:hc evil it sought to exterminste all
o\er town into the residence and
business sections of the city.
Mr. Adair asserted that places the
police should know of can now be
found on Whitehall. Pryor and other
prominent South Side streets; and
even to a greater extent on the North
Side. He declares that the notoriety
of the "vice war" has very nearly
ruined a good-natured" Chief, who,,
while not the best Atlanta has ha 1
was doing fairly wall."
Mr Adair expresses the opinion
that if the matter were put to a vol*
an overwhelming majority of the citi
zens of Atlanta would say that it : s

Business Men Back Paxon.
The controversy started by Colonel
Paxon’s comprehensive statement *A
the attitude of a large number of wetl-
known business men as printed ex
clusively in Sunday's American has
aroused the keenest interest all over
the city. It is known that other lead
ing men are preparing to back him
but the nentlment he standi for is not
unanimous by any means.
Wilmer Moore, president of the
Cham be r of Commerce declares the
Men and Religion Bulletins have ac
complished much good and believes
the attacks on them are a. mtetak**.
He said the movement deserved en
couragement. but expressed th* hone
that no attempt would be made to
force a prohibition campaign
Mr. Adair, in supporting Mr Paxon,
said:
I thoroughly arree with Mr. Paxon
in his views with reference to the
bulletins of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, as fir as he
toes but I don't think he goes far
♦ nough. In my opinion, not only the
recent ones have been Inclined to
ward an evil Influence but from the
very’ beginning they have been
harmful.
Denounce* "Bulletin*.
"I agree with Mr Paxon that there
was absolutely no excuse for pub
lishing the fact that the death of the
late matron of the Martha’s Horn*
was caused by a disease contracted
♦ram one of the inmates and I fur
thermore think that one of their first
bulletins was an unwarranted libel
upon every woman who has ever been
<ent to a hospital for an operation
This bulletin stated that a very large
proportion—if I remember correctly,
it was seven out of ten—of the oper- |
a tions • performed by surgeons on
women were the fault of the hus-
goes w ithout sa> ing that Oolonel
Paxon’s statement in yesterday*
American 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
differences of opinion regarding theit
effect."
The regular w eekiy meeting of the
executive committee of the move
ment will be held Monday afternoon
but Mr Jackson refused to s?m:e
whether there was any likelihood • f
official action being taken as a result
of Mr. Paxon's criticism
The matter probably will be men-
loned." he said.
It is generally understood that
many members of the executive com
mittee favor the preparation and pub
lication 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
er rumor. *
But'nes* Men L'kaly to Act.
Interest in the fight started bv
olonel Paxon centers now in the
probable action that may result from
the informal conferences of business
men that have bean held for the past
several weeks, when the advisability
of denouncing the bulletins was dis

"Until Mr Paxnn spoke, none of the

More Support Paxon.
Among other business men who
came to the support of Colonel Paxon
was L. J. Daniel of Daniel Brothers,
and Charles Winship, of the Conti

Both declared Mr Paxon right in
every word in his interview as print
ed in Hearst’s Sunday American.
Mr. Daniel declared that the bulle

to Atlanta and have hurt business

that the bulletins were read by some
young people, and in that way did

tion against any immoral house of

"I am surprised at the attitude of
Mr Adair in this matter, because
when I issued the order closing the
houses in the restricted district—tit
the time of the vice crusade I served
Mr Adair with a notice to cease
renting houses for immoral purposes
It was the same sort of notice 1

The police are still trying to solve
the mystery of the missing docu

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

Warn* 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
teaching of sex hygiene to children
of all ages in the public schools.
Dr. Wilson maEe it plain that he
j favored the teaching of sex hygiene
j iff the higher insiiutions of learning
I by competent and tactful instructors.
but that he was a bit fearful that the
I rage for the teaching of sex topics
might carry the idea to a dangerous
point in the teaching of the younger
folk.
"It is the parents of America who
should be the instructors in matters
of this sort," said Dr. Wilson. "Chil
dren should have their first know -
edge on these subjects from their fa
thers and mothers. If they are in
structed tactfully and sympathetical
ly, they will develop with normal and
clean ideas.
Children Must be Taught.
"But we are confronted with the
situation of thousands of children of
the slums in our big cities never hav
ing any such instruction. Their
thoughts and ideas they pick up on
j the streets. They must be taught. It
j is a grave question as to when the
instruction should begin. I believe
j that every teacher in the public
I schools should be informed on these
subjects, but I doubt if the subject
should be approached directly until
the colleges and normal schools are
reached.
"It is a most delicate question.
Scientists generally are agreed that
there should be some form of sex
•hygiene teaching, but they are feeling
their way carefully You will not
find many of the scientists who are
advocating a radical movement right
at once. They are content to let the
matter develop naturally. It is the
I general opinion at this stage of the
agitation that more harm than good
may be done by classes in sex hy
giene among pupils of immature and
undeveloped minds."
Dr. Wilson was of the opinion that
the meeting of the scientists in At
lanta would provide a great stimulus
* to scientific activity throughout the
1 South.

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 ma\ 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 * 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 case* number all the way
from 150 to 250.
A triple romance successfully cli
maxed with three weddings had the
firemen at engine house No. 4 ail
astir Monday, where the echo of the
wedding bells made the ordinary rou
tine of the day* seem dull in the ex
treme.
The brides and bridegrooms are:
Ladderman Edward Carwile and
Miss Violet Lawler, of No. 3 63 Geor
gia avenue.
Driver Claude Rowe and Miss
Schuyler Moore a forelady for the
McCall Pattern Company.
E. H. Lawler, a brother of Miss
Lawler—who get# in on this fire ro
mance story only on account of that
relationship—and Miss Willie Maie
Hornsby, of No. 200 Wellington street.
The weddings were all pleasantly
mingled with the atmosphere of
Christmas. Across two. however,
there lies the shadow of death, for the
mother of Mias Lawler and her
brother died the day after Christmas.
The morning before the holiday Miss
La w ler had become the bride ’of Car
wile and in the afternoon the Lawier-
Hornsby nuptials were performed at
the bedside of Miss Lawler’s mother
The Rev. J. S V. Saul, who wed
the two couples, officiated at the fu
neral services r the mo;her the next
day. and in the house where, with**!
the span of a day. there Were glad
ness and sorrow the four newlyweds
are now making their home.
Secrecy surrounded the Rom--
Moore wedding, which followed an
acquaintanceship of but six wrftks.
The day before Christmas Rowe tele
phoned the young w man that he had
a surprise for her. and whe© she met
him he calmly announced that they
were to be married Miss Moore ca

performed the ceremony.
Police Seek Youth for
Kicking Glass Doors
The police Monday are searching
for a young man, well dressed and
smppoeed to be insane, who kicked in

avenue, and the Melton Pharmacy at
Pryor and Garnett streets early Mon
day morning. walked in, turned
around and walked right out again.

Ead Weather Opens
With 'Blue Monday'
$
Another sample of the worst the
weather man can do when he tried
real hard was furnished to Atlanta
Monday in a dreary, cloudy, damp*,
day that made the week’s opening
blue indeed.
A chill drizzle fell all morning, and,
according to Federal Forecaster Von
Herrmann, was in town to stay for
the night at any rate.
Monday night was expected to be
rainy and colder, and Tuesday cloudy
and colder still. The same condi
