Dr. Collier Cobb, of the University
of North Carolina, who has made a
special study on the effect of geo
graphical situation and transporta
tion facilities in respect of a city’s
growth and progress, said Monday
that Atlanta was the most ideally lo
cated city In the entire South and
that it should make even more start
ling development In the next decade
or two than It has In the past.
Dr. Cobb is in Atlanta attending
the meetings of the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement of
Science, and will read a. paper Tues
day before the geological section on
“The Physiographic Conditions That
Contribute to the Making of Atlanta.”
“I have had to take into acount,
too, the human element,” he said.
“An ideal location would not have
amounted to much If the right men
had not been here to boost and de
velop the city.”
Gateway of North and South.
“Atlanta’s opportunities for com
merce and manufacture are incalcu
lable. It is the center from which
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
industries as transportation facili
ties. Take New Bedford, Mass., for
example. It is not anywhere near
the cotton belt, it Isn’t near the coal
fields, and It isn’t near the source of
the greatest food supplies, and yet it
turns out the finest cotton products
in the world. That is because it has
developed its transportation facili
ties.
“Atlanta has done the same thing.

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

shore time Moyer would be able to
leave his bed.

of union men who visited the hos
pital soon.

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 the!
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 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. ’ ’
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.’’

^VASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Uncle
Sam Is going to assess a fine of from
$20 to $1,000 against every suffragist
who refuses to make returns to the
income tax collector and pay the tax,
officials of the Treasury Department
declared to-day. When informed
that Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, presi
dent of the National Woman Suffrage
Association, had urged all women to
refuse to obey this law, the officials
replied that the women who took her
advice would get into trouble.
Treasury officials pointed out that
the income tax law clearly specifies
that anyone who shall refuse to make
a return is liable to a fine.

Any attempt of Mayor Woodward
to remove the fence around the new

the County Commissioners or the
contractors erecting the building, it
was said Monday.
So far, though, no official cogni
zance is being taken by the Board of
County Commissioners of the Mayor's
threat to tear down the fence be
cause no official notice has been re
ceived by the board from the city's
chief executive ordering the fence re
moved. *
The “fence subject” was a live
topic of conversation around the
Commls-iioners’ office Monday morn
ing, but no one cared to be quoted
“because there was nothing official
about the matter.”
Inside the fence, which runs along
the street eight feet outside the curb,
is stored a great mass of building

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 Presiden' is deeply disappoint
ed by the continued cold weather. He
had to golf ..nder 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 beer broken in transit.

MONTICELLO, N. Y., Dec. 29.—
Adelaide France, who for fourteen
years was the “heart mate” of Melvin
M. Couch, had disappeared completely
to-day, following her flight undercov
er of darkness from the local Jail.
Conflicting reports were circulated as
to her whereabouts.
It Is expected that she will eventu
ally be given shelter by a brother liv-
ms at Uftlmer. iowa.
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.
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 witli
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 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,
