More Join Paxon and Adair.
Half a dozen well-known business
men Wednesday Joined the ranks *»f
those alread> enlisted with Colonel j
Frederic J. Paxon and Forrest Adair
and L. J. Daniel In their campaign
against the propaganda of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement.
Among them were Hamilton Douglas,
dean of the Atlanta Law' School; W.
R Da airman of th< Board of
Education; Chris Essig, of the Essg
Bros. Company; Edward Brown. «f
Brown A Allen Drug Company; H. A.

estate operator; George M. Hope, cap
italist and insurance man; W. L. Cos.
grove, manager of John W. Grant’s
enterprises, and J. D. Robinson, man
ufacturer.
The bulletins and the work of the
Men and Religion Movement also de
veloped some champions during the
day Many ministers have rallied to >
the defense of the bulletins, declaring j
that the good they have accomplished |
in ridding Atlanta of vice and wick
edness can hardly be estimated.
T W. Galloway, who Is here at
tending the convention of the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
of Science, also has written to th"
leaders of the movement expressing
his pleasure at reading the bulletins
and the hope that they will prevail
against he force of Mr. Adair and
Colonel Paxon.
Mr. Galloway declares that Colonel
Paxon and Mr. Adair and their sup
porters are mistaken in their asser
tion that Atlanta is advertised in the
wrong manner by the bulletins, and
declares that the advertising given
the city by the bulletins Is the best
thing that has ever happened to it.
Alexander Defends Bulletins.
Mr. Galloway declares that f »r
every reference he has heard during
the past year of the push and pros
perity of Atlanta he has heard ten
commendations for the work of the
publicity of the Men and Religion
Movement. which, he stated, was
bringing Atlanta to the attention of
the world in a manner that could not
be accomplished In any other way.
Hooper Alexander. United States
Attorney, also rallied to the defense
of the bulletins Wednesday, declaring
that they are doing a great deal of
good and ought to continue. Mr.
Alexander declared that the reason
for the criticisms directed against the
bulletins is not apparent, and ex
pressed the view that the news col
umns of the newspapers, where are
recorded daily the actual happenings
of the city and not dlarussions )f
theoretical remedies for more or less
imaginary evils, should he subject to
the same criticism as is given the
bulletins.
William A. Ansley, one of the city's
best known real estate operators. In-
terpolates into his defense of Colonel
Frederic J. Paxon and’ Forrest Adair
an attack on the modern methods of
the preacher, declaring that the “old-
time religion” is being lost sight of in
"the craze for publicity and the desire
to preach on sensational subjects and
glorify themselves in the preaching.”
He declared that the bujletlns were
commercializing religion.
‘I only read a few of them when
the> were first ••nblished,” he said. I
read them first out of curiosity, which
quickly changed to disgust, as it un-
peared to me the> were commercial- I

Evil Scattered. Says Ansley.
Mr. Ansley declared thaf by the vice

ity through the medium of the bulle

but had merely scattered It.
'I am not surprised thHt the people
of Atlanta have etood these things

be said. “I have known for some
tinv* that the bulletins were bringing
reproach on the religion of Jesus
Christ, as they have never been In ac
cord with my idea of the intentions of
Ch rist."
Reuben Arnold, one of Atlanta's
most prominent attorneys, declared
that it is time the bulletins were
stopped.
“These 'messages’ of the Men -and
Religion Forward Movement.” mid
Mr. Arnold, "are doing the city great
harm at home and abroad I am quite
sure that the majority of the people
of Atlanta feel that way about it, and
something ought to be done to stop
t hem "
W R. Daley, chairman of the Board
of Kducation. declared that althougn
he is heartily in sympathy with the
suppression of vice, he does not ap
prove of the publicity which the bul
letins have Riven to suggestive mat
ters. nor their work in placing dis
cussions of immorality before • the
J oung.
George M Hope declared tViat he is
with Mr. Paxon and Mr Adair as far
s they go. He ch<a ractcrized the
bulletins as a “crying «haine,” and de-
clared it disgraceful that men are al
lowed to disseminate information that
tends to give Atlanti an undeserved
reputation for vice and wickedness.
He declared also that since Chief ,
Beavers issued his famous edict ban
ishing the houses In the tenderloin he j
has been placed on such a pedestal of
notoriety that bis value has been
greatly lessened; and that despite
this notoriety and the apparent activ
ities of the Chief the number of dis
orderly houses in the city has in-

W L. Cosgrove, manager for Johh
W. Grant's enterprises and a leading
figure in financial circles, said;
"The idea of publishing bulletins
in the newspapers, where the impres
sion is given that \tlanta is the
worst city on the map. and which bul
letins fall into the hands of imma
ture bovs and girls, is disgusting and
unnecessary It may accomplish a
Tittle good in isolated cases, but the
barm it does in general is incalcula
ble. It is a well-known fact to every
man about town that there has been
i appreciable lessening of immoral
ity in Atlanta through the vice eru-

Municipal Experts Commend Ap
pointment of Committee to
Take Up Plan.
The plan of the Chamber of Com
merce to establish a public welfare
bureau was received Wednesday with
general approval. Municipal experts
declared it would be one of the great
est steps forward ever made by At
lanta.
Two expert surveys have been
made of the sanitary and health sys
tems of Atlanta. A special commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce
made a study of the milk supply. Its
reports showed 50 per cent of the
deaths and disease in Atlanta were
preventable. Vet the leaders, on ac
count of the complex government,
have been unable to put any of the
important changes suggested into
effect.
The Chamber of Commerce plan
contemplates a referendum on plac
ing all charities and authority to sup
press contagious disease in the hands
of the welfare bureau, headed by an
i xpert
At a meeting at the Piedmont Ho
tel Wednesday representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce and of the
womeh's organizations in charge of
the recent Child Welfare Exhibit.
Wilmer I,. Moore, president of the
Chaiflber, was authorized to appoint
a committee of ten men and women
to investigate the Cleveland Public
Welfare Bureau.
Among the leaders in the move
ment are Dr. John K. White, Mrs.
Charles J. Haden, Mrs. Samuel Hop
kins. Joseph C. Logan and H. M. Wil-
let. Dr. J. P. Kennedy and Dr. Claude
A. Smith also wen* present.
The plan is a direct outgrowth of
the suppression of the recent report
on Atlanta's milk supply by a com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce.
The directors of the Chamber found
that under present conditions they
would be unable to carry out the rec
ommendations for purer milk under
the present system.
Sues City for Scaring
Her Boarders Away
Claiming that the regrading of Ivy
street has ruined her property and bro
ken up her hoarding house trade. Mrs.
A. A. Pickard lias filed suit in the Su
perior Court against the city for $2,500
damages. Her home is at No. 99 Iv>
street.
The cut in tHe street at this point,
she claims, has disfigured her property
by leaving the yard eight feet above the
street. The boarders balked at walk
ing through the clouds of dust in dry
weather and thick mud caused by rain,
and sought other boarding houses, the
petition alleges.

“The Blue Bird” at the Atlanta.
The Atlanta is offering the most
beautiful and joyous play of the sea
son this week in* “The Blue Bird.” the
famous Maeterlinck fantasy. The
original New Theater cast and pro
duction is appearing in the play, and
the reception accorded the opening
nights was such that it bids fair to
set a new’ record for attendance.
Crowds have been in line almos*
every minute of the time the box of
fice has been open. Matinees will be
played New Year’s Day and Satur
day. Atlanta critics say, "See ‘The
Blue Bird,’ for it is by far the best
play of the season, and appeals more
to grown-ups than to youngsters, de
spite the fascination it has for the
latter.”
