Adair In their attack on the bulletins
and the propaganda A the movement.
I am thoroughly in accord with
the views of Mr. Adair and Colonel
Paxon." Mr Murphy said. “Some of
the bulletins that have been published
have been disgraceful. They have

Something should be done at once to

to prevent the publication of the bul
l-tins and to induce the Men and Re

was originally based. 1 '

Forrest Adair, in which he vigorous-
indorsed Colonel Paxon a criticism
of the “bulletins,’’ and declared that

good effect, but had merely scattered

Mr. Adair asserted that places the

Air Adair, ih supporting Mr. Paxon,
I thoroughly agree with Mr. Paxon

Interest in the light started hv

“By the way, this influence and tho
unexpected notoriety given him. has
come very near ruining our good-
natured Chief, who, while not the best
Atlanta has had, was doing fairly
well.
“The entire department now seems
to be crystallized around a so-called
'vice squad,’ while footpads ply their
trade unmolested, and a barefoot bur
glar, who for four years has terror
ized residential sections of the city,
feels perfectly secure in his midnight
operations
“Until Mr Paxon spoke, none of the
conservative citizens have lifted their
voices In protest, and therefore some
may have gained the impression that
public opinion has been hacking up
this crusade. In my opinion, if it
were put to a vote an overwhelming
majority of the citizen
would say that
halt.
Public Is Disgusted, He Says.
“These bulletins and other sensa
tional notices in the newspapers have
hurt our town. Every time a man is
caught with a woman it is termed a
case of ‘white slavery,’ until the pub
lic is disgusted.
“I know that all of this agitation
has hurt Atlanta. It creates the im
pression upon outsiders that we are
worse than we are, and makes Them
hesitate ab<*ut bringing their families
to Atlanta to liv£> and I, for one, will
welcome the day when we return to a
condition of ganlty, and I think Mr
Paxon will have done the city of At
lanta a great service by his courage
in calling attention to conditions
which the vast majority of the public
know are true."
More Support Paxon.
Among other business men who
came to the support of Colonel Paxon,
was L. J. Daniel, of Daniel Brothers,
and Charles Wlnship, of the Conti
nental Gin Company.
Both declared Mr. Paxon right in
every word in his interview ns print
ed in Hearst’s Sunday American.
Mr. Daniel declared that tho bulle
tins had been of decided detriment
to Atlanta and have hurt business
badly. Mr. Win ship said he agreed
that the bulletins were read by some
young people, and in that way did
decided harm
Mell R. Wilkinson, who becomes
president of the Chamber of Com
merce with the new year, was cau
tious in his comment, but declared
against any prohibition agitation.
Ministers of the city lined up be
hind the Men and Religion commit
tee. Dr. C. \V Daniels said he
thought the protest was brought
about because the liquor question had
been touched on. He declared that
the bulletins had done no evil, hut
had onlv revealed conditions sis they
were. I>r. Hugh K. Walker, of the
First Presbyterian Church, declared
that in the main the bulletins had
done a great amount of good.
Chief Surprised at Adair.
“If Mr. Adair knows of the exist
ence of these houses he says are nu
merous on downtown streets and in
the residence sections.” said Chief
Beavers. “I challenge him to give the
street addresses and the proof of their
existence. 1 shall take immediate ac
tion against any immoral house of
which I am told by Mr Adair.
“I am surprised at the attitude of
Mr. Adair in this matter, because
when 1 issued the order closing 'he
houses in the restricted district at
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
served others, including the women
who ran the places. 1 do not remem
ber how many of th *e houses Mr.
Adair rented, but there were several
of them.
“Mr. Adair replied in a letter that
he would he glad to comply with rnv
request, and that he would aid me in
the crusade in any way he could. He
said he would he glad to tell me of
any immoral houses of which ho
learned. If Mr. Adair knows of anv
immoral houses in the city at this
time, he has not kept his word, or h**
would have notified me so I could
have proceeded against them.

Baroness Sole Heir
By Cardinal's Will

I
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
HO MBS, 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 late
Prelate’s sister, Baroness Perana, and
her husband.
This will named Baroness Perana
the sole heir, with the exception of a
few unimportant legacies.
The police arc 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 bus been hidden.
On account of opposition from the
family of the dead Prelate and from
Pojpe Plus X, it is probable that *4ir
exhumation of the body will be defi
nitely abandoned.

Police Court Cases
It may be due to the strained con

Warns of Sex Teaching.
Dr. Edmund B. Wilson, of Colum
bia University, president of the 3-
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 male it plain that he
favored the teaching of sex hygiene
in the higher instiutions of learning
by competent and tactful instructors,
but that he was a bit fearful that the
rage for the teaching of s4x 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 knowl
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
the streets. They must be taught. It
is a grave question as to when the
instruction should begin. I believe
that every teacher in the public
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
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
South.-

unusual interest as regarcs the sci

Testimonial From
High Authority
A triple romance successfully cli
maxed with three weddings had the
firemen at engine house No. 4 ad
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 Oarwile and
Miss Violet Lawler, of No. 183 Geor
gia avenue.
Driver Claude Rowe and Miss
Schuyler Moore. aXforelady for the
McCall Pattern Company.
E. H. Lawler, a brother of Miss
Lawler—who gets in on this tire 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 Miss Lawler and her
brother died the day after Christmas.
The morning before the holiday Miss
| Lawler had become the bride of Oar-
j wile and in the afternoon the Lawier-
HoThsby 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 mother the next
day. and in the house where, within
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 at)
acquaintanceship «>:' but weeks
The day before Christina* Rowe te < -
phoned the young woman that he had
a surprise for her, and when she met
him he calmly announced that they
were to be married. Miss Moore ca
pitulated. and the Ret Henry Pace
performed the ceremony.
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 tho* 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,
i In neither store was anything missing
! when tlie owners of the place came to
j w ork.
Neighbors who saw tho strange an
tics telephoned the police, and Cap-
lain Poole answered with a squad of
men.
Bad 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-
I Lions exist all over the State.

"To have complete success with
no failures, care should be used
in selection of Baking Powder.
CALUMET
BAKING POWDER
Some little time ago I made a careful study and investigation of the
baking powder subject and I feel fully repaid. I am firmly convinced
from the results I have received that there is no baking powder to
equal Calumet for wholesomeness and economy, and I also recommend
Calumet Baking Powder for its never failing results.
December 9, 1913. Mrs. Betty Lylcr Wilson.
Calumet also received the Highest Awards at the World’s Pure Food
Exposition, Chicago and Paris, France, 1912.
Buy a can of Calumet Baking Powder at once, and use
it in your Holiday Bakings, making your Christmas Cakes
as good as the President s.
