Mrs. T. E. Patterson, of Griffin,
president of the Georgia Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, is ur
gently asking the ^-operation of At
lanta people, especially church mem
bers, in providing homes for the dele
gates to the National W. C. T. U. Con
vention which will meet in# Atlanta
November 11 to 18.
The convention is just two weeks
off and so far very few homes have
been secured for the visitors, many of
whom are women of international
reputation, not only as temperance
advocates but as social workers, lec
turers and church workers.
Mrs. Patterson says: “We must
make provision for 1,000 delegates. Up
to date both our funds and the hos
pital ty offered are totally inadequate.
Th3 convention was invited to At
lanta by the Evangelical Ministers’
Association, •which guaranteed funds
for the necessary expenses, but a*
the last moment we find that these
funds practically have not beep
raised, although we hope for encour
aging reports by Monday. We are dis
tressed over the possibilit; of failing
to entertain our distinguished guests
in a manner befitting to them and in
keeping with Atlanta’s reputation as
a convention city.
“We find that we can expect no as
sistance from the Atlanta Convention
Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce,
the Men and Religion Forward Move-
r lent, the Anti-Saloon League and
other sources, although we had the
support of these bodies in urging 'he
convention to come to Atlanta. The
responsibility seems to devolve upon
the women of the W. C. T. LT. in At
lanta and the State, a d upon such
individuals as feel moved to help uj
‘‘We feel sure of the co-operation of
the Christian women of the city, but
the need is for an immediate response
so that we may know exactly how
many homes we can count on. Those
who will entertain one or more dele
gates are asked to communicate at
once with Mrs. Annie Webb, No. 27
Garfield place, whose telephone is
Ivy 5208-.J.
‘‘Those who volunteer as hostesses
will be expected to furnish only lodg
ing and one meal a day, breakfast, ex
cept on Sunday when it will be nec
essary to provide all meals. If 90
women will agree to open four homes
for tw’o delegates each, our problem
will be solved.”

4,000 U. S. Citizens
Are Now in Turkey
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31—Accord
ing to rough estimates made to-day
by State Department officials, there
are nearly 4,000 United States citizens
in Turkey, all of whom will be In a
precarious condition because of the
declaration of war by Turkey against
the Allies.
Pending official notification of the
Turkish declaration of war, no state
ment will be made by State Depart
ment officials regarding these Ameri
cans, who are largely missionaries
students and tourists. It is expected
however, that President Wilson will
urge them to come home, and in all
cases where necessary arrangements
will be made for caring for American
refugees and returning them to their
native land. ,
The President will Issue a procla
mation of neutrality when Turkey of
ficially notifies the world that she is
at war.

Lack of Funds May
Thrust Season of Rest
On 260 City Convicts
More than 260 convicts In the City
Stockade Saturday had good cause to
hope for a long winter of rest and the
large drove of horses and mules em
ployed in the City Streets Department
may be turned out to pasture, to say
nothing of the possibility of 150 men
losing their jobs.
At least that is the logacil conclusion
to be drawn from statements of ci*y
officials. The members of the Council
Finance Committee have announced
most positively that there is no more
money to apropriate. Xym Hurt. As
sistant Chief < f Construction, told the
Streets Committee Friday that unless
he did get $8,000 more money for his
depart mem work by the convicts would
have to cease and that the horses and
men would be left to their leisure.
Mayor Woodward was called into
consultation and adv: \ an immediate
meeting of the Fin. ice Committee.
That is to ho held and a more diligent
effort made to find funds.

Chicago Hotel Man Arrives Sat
urday Night—Resigned Man
ager to Return to East.
Robert E. Grant, a prominent hotel
man of Chicago, arrived in Atlanta
Saturday night to assume charge of
the Georgian Terrace Hotel, succeed
ing Albert R. Keen, whose resigna
tion terminated Saturday a success
ful and extremely popular three years'
management. Mr. Grant has been for
years associated with hotels of Chi
cago, coming recently from the Vin
cennes Hotel.
Mr Keen will leave Atlanta shortly
to return to New York, his former
home, where he has been a command
ing figuer in the hotel business. It
Is likely that he will re-establish his
former connections in that city. With
his departure Atlanta will lose an ac
tive and aggressive personality, wno
through the channel of a well-con
ducted and attractive hotfl and by
leadership of local hotel men has
worked effectively in the clay’s inter
ests. Mr. Keen has established many
warm friendships in Atlanta, and Ills
departure will be marked by sincere
regret.
Evidence of that friendship was
displayed at an elaborate farewell
dinner at the Piedmont Hotel Friday
evening, given by James E. Hickey, of
the Piedmont. Most members of the
Atlanta Hotel Men's Association, of
which Mr. Keen is president, wer*3
present. Something of the results of
his work in Atlanta was announced
at the farewell dinner, when compli
ments to the departing president
were heard from every quarter. J. F.
Letton. of the Winecoff, was elected
temporary president of the associa
tion.
“I am sincerely sorry to leave At
lanta.’ Mr. Keen told The Georgian
Saturday. ‘‘There are real people
here, and I have come to regard very
many of them as warm friends. 1
have tried to work for Atlanta as well
as for the hotel, and in some measure
1 may have succeeded.”
There will be no change in the poli
cy of the hotel under the new man
agement, the establishment remaining
under the ownership of Joseph Gatins

LONDON, Oct. 31.—Carl Hans
Ix>dy, who Is being tried on charges
that he served Germany as a spy
! while he posed as nn American citi
zen under the name of Charles A. In-
glis, confessed to-day that he Is a
senior lieutenant in the German na-
i val reserve, which* he entered in 1908.
I As a result of his admission, it is
| expected that the court-martial try-
j ing Lody will bring in a verdict of
j guilty and sentence him to death.
After a mass of evidence had been
] presented to-day, the court was or-
) dered cleared for the reading of im
portant letters. All the spectators
left except a mysterious middle-age 1
man whom the officials detained.
After the letters were read, Lody
took the stand. He admitted that his
name was rightly given in the charge
brought against him, and then told of
his commission in the German naval
reserve. He said that he had married
an American woman of German de
scent in 1912, but that the union
proved unhappy and he and his wife
separated. His wife’s father, he said,
paid him Just before the war $10,000
in compensation for his financial
losses.

London to-day as a German spy,!
played a star engagement In Omaha I
two years ago when he was married i
to Miss Ixiuise Storz, daughter of a ;
wealthy brewer of this city. The two

Storz family considerable money.
Miss Storz and Lody met while the
former was on a trip around the
world. Lody was an officer on an At
lantic liner and the two became In
fatuated w’lth each other. Lody re
signed his position on the boat, fol
lowed the girl to Omaha and the mar
riage followed.
The last thing the Storz family
heard of Lody he was an officer jn

LONDON, Oct. 31.«—To those who
believe, as Germans would have the
world believe, that he French nation
is decadent, fit only to disappear from
the fare of the earth, the following
letter, simple as any letter can be,
yet full of the Spartanlike qualities
that even a German must admire, will
serve as an Inspiration.
It was written to a French soldier
by his sister. The soldier showed H
to his officer, who was so pleased that
he had it published anonymously for
the troops. One of the men at the
front has sent the letter to The Tim *s.
A translation of it follows:
“September 4, 1914.
“My Dear Edward—I hear that
Charles and Lucien died on August
28; Eugene is very badly wounded;
Louis and Jean are dead also. Rose
has disappeared.
“Mamma weeps. She says that you
are strong, and begs you to go to
avenge them.
"I hope your officers will not refuse
you permission. Jean had the Legion
of Honor; succeed him in this.
“Of the eleven of us who went to
the war eight are dead. My dear
brother, do y> ur duty, whatever is
asked of you. God gave you your life
and He has the right to take it back;
that is what mamma says.
“We embrace you with all our heart
and long to see you again.
“The Prussians are here. Young Jou-
don is dead; they have pillaged ev
erything. I have come back from Ger-
bervillers, which is destroyed. The
brutes!
"Now, my dear brother, make the
sacrifice of your life. We have hope
of seeing you again, for something
gives me a presentiment and tells me
to hope.
“It is for us and for France.
"Think of your brothers and of

that vice does unfortunately exist In
the city. We were unable to discover
any reliable evidence of graft in the
police department. We believe the po
lice officials are thoroughly In earnest
In their efforts to suppress vice and
crime, and that with the means at
their command they have accom
plished definite results, to the end
that vice does not exist to anything
like the xtent it formerly existed,
notwithstanding the Increase of our
population.
“The evidence before us also re
vealed the fact that, at this time, be
cause of Atlanta's prominence and po
sition, crimes of this character ire
more generally exploited in the public
press than heretofore. The evidence
before us disclosed the fact that the
police department of the city of At
lanta has not had a dollar during the
year 1914 at its disposal for the sup
pression of vice, notwithstanding the
fact that $1,200 was appropriated for
miscellaneous expenses, which we >n-
f^r to mean a fund for the suppres
sion of vice and crime.
Confidence in City's Ability.
“We have confidence in the ability
of the cit^* government of Atlanta *o
absolutely control the vice situation,
so far as it can be controlled, if all
the departments of the city will lend
themselves to a joint effort to enforce
the law. Neither this Grand Jury
nor the city officials have made this
law, nor can the’ Grand Jury or the
city officials change this law. It
should be enforced as expeditiously ,
and as wisely as possible. The re
sponsibility* for the enforcement of
this law does not rest upon any one
man in any one department of the
city government, but upon every man
In every department of the city gov
ernment. There would be fewer mis-
j takes and less cause for critcism if the
j City* Council would look closely aft r
the licensing of boarding houses and
hotels in the city.
“The Police Committee, which is
charged with the matter of investi-
i gating licenses for boarding houses
hotels, rooming houses, etc., has au
thority’ to investigate the same thor
oughly'. They are not required to re-
i fer same to the Chief of Police Such
licenses are not issued without the
approval of this committee, the ap
proval of the Mayor and the approval
of the Council. Any member, and
every member, of the Council, there
fore, shares in the responsibility for
matters of this sort, and any Coun
cilman and every Councilman may
require a full report from the Police
Committee before any license is
J finally jssqed.
Closer Supervision Needed.
“A closer supervision of these mat
ters by those to whom authority is
committed to issue these licenses will
prevent most, if not ^altogether, any
failure to accomplish the objects set
forth in sections 1803 and 1806 of the
Code of the City of Atlanta.
“Nothing has impressed us more
than the fact that if all the depart
ments will work together even the
present vice conditions can be greatly
improved. But before leaving thi.?
subject we desire to record our con
viction that neither the Mayor, City
Council, Police Committee, Police
Commissioners nor Police Depart- i
ment can accomplish all they might!
desire to accomplish in connection
with this tremendous subject without
the full co-operation of our citizens.
“We have had a limited number of
distressing experiences on the part
of landlords whose property has beer,
invaded by unfortunate women. But
as rapidly as sufficient evidence upon
which to base a remo’ should be
secured, they have been removed.
Should Appeal to Religious Booies.
“One of the chief difficulties found
In administering this law is the un
willingness on the part of those pros
ecuting to subject these people to the
ofttimes brutal results of the law
This has appeared time and time
again in every department of our
government, and no man who knows
the weakness of humanity willingly
lends himself to a judicial program
that has heretofore destroyed rather
than bui.lt up.
“To all great religious bodies or
this city and their powerful constit
uencies this question should appeu.
with tremendous force.
“These erring women need econom
ic freedom; they need social free
dom; they need freedom from vice;
they need an environment that offers
them an opportunity for a fair life
and no program that is not as large
as a great community will ever com
pass the evils of the vice problem.
Until this problem has behind it these
powerful, persistent and sympathetic
forces practically at work, vice will
always be a cause of distress and
suffering. , .
Ask Salary for Solicitor.
The recommendation of the jury af- j
fecting the Solicitor and the sug-
gested abolishment of the City Crim
inal Court, is as follows:
"It is further suggested that as
means toward economy the Solicitor
General should be placed on a salary
and given the requisite number of
assistants to handle felonies In the ;
Superior Court and misdemeanors in J
the Criminal Court of Atlanta. Prob- j
ably a better method would be to j
amend the Constitution so that a
branch of the Superior Court might
handle misdemeanor matters with a j
jury of five, and abolish the Criminal |
Court of Atlanta, placing all criminal ;
cases under the jurisdiction of one
prosecuting officer.”
In criticising the Jail, the Grand
Jury suggested that some of the con
ditions complained of grow out of an
apparent conflict in authority be
tween the County Commissioners and
the Sheriff. Under the present sys
tem, prisoners can not be handled ac*
cording to modern methods, the jury
reported.
Hit Promiscuous Confinement.
Special criticism was made of th«*
promiscuous confinement of prison
ers in cells together, regardless of
whether some of them are diseased,
or as to whether they are held merely
as witnesses, or are awaiting, trial,
or under conviction. It was strongly
recommended that the County Phy
sician should examine every prisoner
in the jail to prevent the spread of
disease, instead of merely examining
those to whom he is called.
Scoring the County Commislsonera
r delay in improving rh©
buildings in the county convict
camps, the Grand Jury declared the
convicts are in peril from fire and
from disease. The sanitary arrange
ments were declared to be disgrace
ful, as a result of the tardiness of the
County Commissioners. Prompt ac
tion in remedying these evils througti
new buildings was recommended.
.. 1 h . e Cn*nd Jury also recommended
the isolation In jail and the convict
camps of drug fiends, and the estab
lishment of a better medical system
in dealing with them.
