Board Says Chief Was Dominated
by Men and Religion Crowd
and Was Insubordinate.
The answer of the Police Board to
the appeal of !urnwr’('h.e! of Pollce
Beavers from the board's action In
demoting him was filed in the Supe
rior Court Saturday by W., p. I-‘uln,l
individunlly and as chalrman of the
board, and the following members ofl
the commission Mayor James W,
Woodward, James W. English, Ed
win F. Johnson, Andy iKng, Robert
T. Pace and Robert C Clark,
The board charges that Beavers, as |
Chief, constantly refused to ru‘ngnll,v‘
the authority of the board, and Was |
under the influence and domination of |
the leaders of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement at all times
The Men and Religion Bulletins are
attacked In the answer as villiflers of
the city's name and the conduct of the
city's affairs.
l The answer stresses the fact that
all twelve members of the board voted
[to find Beavers gullty of Insubordina
tion, in these words:
l “Every member of the commisslon
knew the plaintiff had deliberately
inml knowingly defied the Board of Po
lice Commissioners, and was obeying
llho instructions and following the ad
vice of unoffical interests, and that
these were not in accord with the
publie interest or the preservation of
good morals or of the peace and pros
perity of the citizens of Atlanta. For
these reasons the plaintiff was unani
mously found gullty on the first bal
lot without dissent by the board. The
chareg of ipsubordinat'on was so
‘l‘3nnrly and manifestly sustained as to
force even the political supporters and
adherents of sald James 1.. Beavers on
the board to vote for his conviction.
Every member of the board was sat
isfied from the evidence submitted
that the plaintiff was gullty of said
charge.”
The charge that Edwin Johnson
hired counsel to prosecute Beavers is
denied, and it s pointed out that,
even though he had been disqualified
from voting on that account, the bal
lot for conviction still would have been
11 to 0,
Attention is called to the unruly
crowd of Beavers' supporters at the
hearing and the statement that Bea
vers was an “excellent captain while
act'ng under the authority of the,
Chief, and finally under the authority
of the board, which was over the
Chiet.”
Wheat Goes to $1.16
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Dec. 5.~ Sensational ad
vaneces were recorded in the wheat
market late in the session saturday,
when prices advanced sharply on the
wildest trading. December closed at
$1.16%, an advgnce of b% cents over
last night's close, and May at 1.164%,
an advance of 8 centa.
Corn closed % cent higher, while
oats were 1-4 cent lower to % cent
higher. Provisions were unchanged
for the December option, while the
distant months were 10 to 20 cents up.
The “squeeze” in December wheat
here was the cause of the rapid rise
in December wheat, several large Jo
cal traders being reported on excel
lent authority, to be short a “million
bushels” of December, with only
2,000,000 bushels here for dellvery.
Their efforts to cover thelr short cons
tracts caused December to advance
2% onts In the last fifteen minutes
of the short session
A feature of the buying of wheat
'was that it was largely by investors
and included many outsiders,
Western receipts this week wese
heavy at 19,081,000 bushels, compared
With 12,327,000 busheis tor a like pe
rod a year ago. Cash sales here

ure of the action of the Dardanelles?
The history of war can hardly show
another instance so gross as this as a
horrible example of how an enterprise
of this sort should NOT be prepared
}and carrled out. If anything {s calcu
lated to shatter the belief in the mili
tary foresight, the tactical and strate
gic abllity and, above all, the power
of organization of the British com
manders—for the whole army and
navy were subject to their orders—
it is this tragedy which the world has
just seen enacted at the Dardanelles.
Big Waste of Material.
At first the fieet advanced by itself
with whally inadequate means and
with no conception of the difficulties
to be overcome. There was a dread
ful waste of material. It was wasted,
it was lost without so much as even
the hope of seriousiy weakening a sin
gle defensive position of the Turks.
The ftirst attacks were made on
Feoruary 19, 20 and 25. English and
French battleships pushed forward
with an avant-garde of mine sweep
ers. But all attempts to penetrate the
straits were in vain. Turkish gunfire
and Turkish mines proved an insuper
able barrier,
On March 18 and 19 another at
tempt to force the narrows was made.
Both of the Allies—the English as
well as the French—suffered the loss
of two battleships, Further losses
were occasloned later by the appear
ance of German submarines, For in
stance, two English battleships were
sunk by them on May 26 and 27.
At last, on April 25, the attackers
began to recognize the fact that the
fleet alone would never be able (o
eapture the Dardanelles. And so the
troops were brought along. Under
the cover of the heavy naval guns, the
Allles managed to obtain a footing
upon the southernmost point of the
Gallipoli Peninsula. But all' en
deavors during the course of the next
few months to advance farther were
doomed to disaster, |
Small Advance Made. ‘
By a surprise attack made in Au
gust they managed to gain a few
gauare kilometers of ground in Suvla
Bight. Here they met with an ener
getic resistance from the Turks. Tens
of thousands of English and French
soldlers found their death in the at
tempt to storm the heights of Ana
farta. and yvet they did not succeed in
winning a single foot of ground. Thay
were flung back upon their narrow
strip along the coast, and agaln it wis
the «hins' guns that enabled them to
retain the'r positions.
The entire result of this stunendons
sacrifice of human lives and material
on land and on sea consists in the
winning of a few souare kilometers
of stonv soil unon the peninsula of
Gallivoli. The vrospect of ever cleay
ing a way from here to Constant!no
vle, or of obtalnine the mastery of the
Dardanelles. the Sea of Marmora anl
the PBosnorus—for this, after all. s
the chief end in view—has disap

that Germany is seeking peace was
issued through the official Overseas

said the Kalser has no intention of
going to Constantinople,
The statement issued by the Over

“French newspapers pretend that
Germany is always looking for peace
when a military success is obtained.
This is" not only incorrect, but the
reverse Is true. Every time France
suffers a reverse on the battlefield
or in diplomacy, French papers in
vent German peace proposals in or

home. This is also the reason why
news is heing spread over the world
that Germany wants peace; why in
vented reports of Prince von Bue

why similar intentions are attributed
to other people.
“All these reports are as untrue
as that about the coming trip of the

An apparently trifling technicality
in the form of a jury’s verdict, re
turned before Judge Ben Hill in the
Criminal Court this week, Saturday
operated to overturn the whole pro
ceedings of the court in this case and
saved (harles Johnson, a negro, ac
cused of burglary, a term of twelve
months in the chaingang,
The negro was tried on the charge
of burglary, but the jury, for some
reason, desired to lighten his sen
tence, and brought in a verdict which
read:
“We, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of a misdemeanor.”
Unintentionally the jury freed him,
although Judge Hill imposed a fine of
S2OO, or twelve months in the chain
gang.
Attorney Albert Kemper promptly
filed a motion with Judge Hill to ar
rest the judgment, on the ground that
the verdict was indefinite, giving no
tangible idea as to what offense tha
jury had convicted the regro of, and
Saturday Judge Hill sustained tha
motion, ordering the negro discharged
from jail.
it was held that the verdict would
have been valid had the jury found
the negro gullty, and then recom
mended that his offense “be treated
as a misdemeanor.” It was without
the province of the jury, it was held
to find a defendant guilty of “a mis
demeanor” when tried for burglary.
