BAND OF CHILDREN IN STREETS,
SINGING AND BEGGING FOR ALMS,
AROUSES THE MAYOR TO ACTION
‘Memorial Orphanage’
Brings a Score'to
Town Every Night.
NO LAWS AGAINST
SUCH EXHIBITIONS
City Warden and Associated
Charities Have Thor
oughly Investigated.
Under the guise of charity there are
conditions existing In Atlanta so de
plorable, and without proper laws to
mend matters, that Mayor Woodward
intends taking the bull by the horns
and, even if the statutes do not ex*
actly cover the case, order the arrest
of any one bringing out children on the
street# at night to gather in shekels for
personal or other use*.
This action is caused by the pres
ence In the streets of Atlanta every
night for a ffionth of twenty or thirty
young children, under the banner of the
"Memorial orphange.’’ These tots are
n)ade to sing and to beg for alms from
passersby, loafers, bums and the lowest
types of social flotsam. They stand,
and In their Innocence see drunkards
reeling out of saloons and Into the
streets: they hear the clanging of the
patrol wagon as it makes Its trips
through Marietta street, and they look
and Wonder as to the worst things of
a city’s life.
This condition of things has been
going on for some time, and for the
last month Dr. T. D. Longlno, presi
dent of the Associated Charities of
Georgia, has been carrying on a quiet
Investigation, with the result that the
governor of the state, the head of the
prison commission, senators and the
city officials have been asked to Inter
fere.
No Laws to Cover Case.
Governor Terrell states that the con
dltlons are bad, but that he can do
nothing: the senators and representa
tives who have been seen have been
afraid to bring the matter up so that
g roper laws can be made, and Pro-
atlon Officer Gloer states that no
laws are now In force by which he
can stop the children being brought
on the streets. Mayor Woodward de
clares that he will have any one ar-
DR. T. D. LONG I NO
DISCUSSES^ THE MATTER
"Governor Terrell, when called upon, said that he waa willing to give
his help In stopping these children from being dragged out on the streets-
at night, but that he could do absolutely nothing at the present time.
General Clement A. Evans, head of the prison commission, also stated
that ho was In sympathy with the movement, but could do nothing.
"Probation Ofiicer Oloer has stated that no law covers the situation.
So there seems to be but one remedy left: the city council should pass
laws forbidding any one to open an orphanage without a license, and
these licenses not given unless proper people are at the head of the In
stitution and propsr financial backing Is assured. This Is the only way I
see of mending matters, as the legislature willjiot create the law# desired.”
LITTLE CHILDREN PRAYED
FOR VISIT FROM CARNEGIE
During the recent visit of Andrew Carnegie to this city, a few
months ago, the husband of Mrs. Harwell called at the mayor’s office on
the morning of Mr. Carnegie’s arrival, and besought through that chan
nel the delivery of a letter to the wealthy visitor.
Being questioned by the mayor's secretary, Mr. Harwell stated that
the letter contained an urgent invitation for Mr. Carnegie to visit the
children’s home, on McDaniel street. When told that it would not be
possible to deliver the letter to the wealthy gentleman, Mr. Harwell seem
ed greatly disappointed.
“I do not see why,” hp said. ”He Is always giving away money, and
my wife and I think he would help us take care of these little children if
we could get him out there to see the work we are doing and how badly
money is needed. My wife and the children will be awfully disappointed
if he don’t come.
“She has been praying for several nights, and she has had all the
little ones praying that he will come and help us. The children know
that their prayers wUl be answered, and my wife feels positive he will
come out there. She said as I left this morning that she couldn’t see any
thing less than twenty-five thousand dollars coming from him—wouldn’t
think of anything less. And the children all believe that, too, they have
been praying so earnestly.”
The case In question Is that of the
"Memorial orphanage,” at 52 and 54
South McDaniel street, which Is con
ducted by a Mr. and Mrs. Harwell.
It is claimed that there are some 25
little ones in the home; that they have
not sufficient to eat nor sufficient cloth
ing to shelter their bodies from the
weather;, that they arc hauled out at
night when they should bo In bed
nsleep , and that they are put up as ex
hibits with which to create sympathy.
Secretary Logan, of the Associated
Charities, has also made a thorough
Investigation of the orphanage and has
returned a report similar to that of
Mr. Evans.
Arty body May Start Orphanage.
At the present time, so President
Longlno states, any one may start an
orphanage, with or without money;
may go around the streets gathering up
the waifs and place them in the Insti
tution and there make whatever use
Is desired of their young bodies.
“Just the other day," said President
Longlno. Thursday morning, "a negress
tame to me and asked that she be al
lowed to open a colored orphanage. I

the charitable enterprise, and she stat

the way things now stand, and os the
state law-makers refuse to make laws

Mr. Hheiiiininmer Is nt the head of the

Mr. Harwell is now in the country near
West Point, Gn., for his health. Mrs. Har
well, who la about 46 or 50 years of nge,
claims tills enterprise exclusively ns her
own and says the Lord told her to start
this work. Wo, In March, 1905, without a
dollar, slie took five or six children, moved
to 52 nud 54 South McBntilel street uud

I found twenty-five children there. Hhe

outlying towns, some from Cednrtowu, nnd
no Inter than yesterday three arrived from
Griffin, Gn. f recognized two smnti girls
of one J. K. Jester, a printer. These chil
dren have been there for five months nnd
slie states thnt the fntlier bad Paid only
f ? for their inninteiinnee during tlint time.
lowevor, she claims that nil the children
are from Atlnntn, except eight or nine.
I went through the entire building nnd
In n double room found nine of the children
on old beds nud pullets, asleep, and two
women sewing on mnehlnes. Hhe tells nn*
thnt the children are nnd have been In
great need of clothing, which their appear-
mice ludb-nted, nnd that the Kverett-Rldley
Co. had given her at one time three bolts
of cloth to be made up Into clothing for
them.
“Ths Lord Provided.”
Of course I wanted to ferret out the
source of revenue—the regular channels
through which her funds came and the
amount thereof—and the only satisfaction
I got was that the Lord provided. I asked
in what way the Lord provided. She said
that George Onrrow, a catidyrann, gave 62
n month, Mr. Fauns of the ('npltiil t'lty
Laundry $2 per month, ami one other per
son $2 per month, making a regular in
come of $t» p«»r mouth from this source,
and the only other way of getting money
was at the street meetings and soliciting
from the merchants.
I then examined the kitchen, dining room
and pantry. To feed these twenty-five chil
dren nnd the throe or four grown persons
around the house. 1 found only about
twenty-five pounds of grits, fifteen pounds
of Hour, threw pounds of butter and a
crocus sack of bread furnished by Nathan's
bakery. Hhe said Mr. Nathan made weekly
donations of this amount of bread. They
pay |40 per month rent for the house, and
have a mule, wagon and old buggy for the
use of the Institution.
1 submit that with these twenty-five help
less mouths to feed, with only that amount
of food on hand, and with such nieger
sources of getting fund* to buy more, some
body Is hound to go hungry.
She states that the Rawlins children
were sent to Macon last week to their aunt.
I hare no way of verifying this state
ment. except to write to the relatives of
the children as to their whereabouts, which
should be done. 1 would thank you to give
me their address.
No Educational Training
1 found nine other children In the back
yard at ploy. Hhe claims thrit they-are
receiving religious training, hut they have,
so fnr as I am able to Judge, no facilities
for educational training, the supp<

Atlanta, On.. July 21. 19O0.-Dr. T. D. Lon-
glno, City.—Dear Doctor: Supplementary
of uiy letter to you on the 19th instant, in
reference to the Memorial orphanage at 52
and 54 South McDaniel street, last night,
after 8 o'clock, I noticed across Marietta
street, opposite the Bijou theater, a street
‘ r. I went over and found Mrs. Ida
1, the matron of this Institution,
with sixteen small children, some of them
young as three, four and five years of
age, taking part in the ceremonies. Hhe
bad n chair lu the circle, nud alternately
would have one of these young chlldreu
stand up In the chair nnd talk and sing.
Of course, these meetings are to raise
money for her place. This brings me up
to the |H»tnt I want to umke.
Plenty of Plaoes.
I don’t know of n community anywhere
that has as many old nnd well establlshiMl
Institutions for the enre of orphans as At

Orphans' homo at Decatur, supported by
the North Georgia Methodist conference;
the Baptist Orphans’ home, at llupevllle,
supported by the Baptists of the state:
besides the Home of the Friendless nnd
Hhelterlng Arms In Atlnntn. supported part
ly by city aid. In fact. Atlanta pays $65.-
000 per venr to her charitable Institutions,
besides the alms house, which is maintain
ed by the emmty nt a cost of nearly $10,*
ooo per venr.
Now. Mrs. Harwell, however good her In
tentions may l*», has undertaken to run
without capital and without any
means of support, an orphanage,
eoded In collecting together
children. In order to raise funds for
their support, she Is compelled to hold
street meetings nt night, bringing these

New York, Aug. 16.—Harry K. Thaw
in his cell in the Tombs today, learned
that he was $10,000 richer than he was
the day before. The orphan’s court,
Pittsburg, in taking up the accounts of
the estate left by William Thaw, found
a balance from that portion known as
the coke trust of $114,371.32. Harry
Thaw gets one-tenth of this.
Thaw declined to say anything about
his arrest In Pittsburg last September
on the charge of attempting to lure 15-
year-old Ida Fitch, daughter of a wid
ow of Wilklnsburg, Pa„ Into a resort.
He Is suffering severely from his Im
prisonment in the Tombs. Only the
knowledge that hi* defense will be con
ducted along the lines he has laid down
sustains him. He continually urges his
attorneys to gather evidence as to the
life Stanford White led, fearing appar
ently that such testimony will be over

pervaded Warsaw In the morning
hours. The weather waa aplendld, and
thousanda were taking advantage of
