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
streets at night to gather in shekels for
personal or other uses.
This action Is caused by the pres
ence in the streets of Atlanta every
night for a month of twenty or thirty
young children, under the banner of the
•Memorial orphange." These tots are
made to sing and to beg for alms from
passersby, loafers, bums und 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 ns 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 Law* to Cover Case.
Governor Terrell states that the con
ditions are bad, but that he <
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
rested who carries on the nefarious
business.
The case in question Is that of the
“Memorial orphanage,” at 52 and 54
South McDaniel street, which Is con
ducted bv a Mr. and Mrs. Harwell.
It Is claimed that there are some
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 be In bed
asleep , 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.
Anybody May Start Orphanago.
At the present time, so president
Longlno states, any one may start an
orphanagb, 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 negres*
came to me and asked that she be al
lowed to open a colored orphanage.
DR. T. D. LONGINO
DISCUSSES THE MATTER
“Governor Terrell, when called upon, said that he was 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 he was in sympathy with the movement, but could do nothing.
“Probation 1 Officer Gloer 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 apd proper financial backing Is assured. This Is the only way I
^ —nair _ " * ‘
see of mending matters, as the legislature will not create the laws desired.'
LITTLE CHILDREN PRAYED
FOR VISIT FROM CARNEGIE
During the recent visit of Andrew Carnegie to this city, a few
months ngo, 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,” he 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 will 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.’'
HOKE SMITH REPLIES
TO CRITIC IN LOWNDES
,S|.*>clal to The Georgian.
Valdosta, Ga., August 16.—The big
barbecue and speech by Hoke Smith
brought a large crowd from this and
adjoining counties to the city today.
Probably a thousand people heard the
address at the court house und par-
t »)k of the burbecue after the speak
ing.
Mr. Smith's speech was along the
Hnt-s of the one he delivered here some
months ago and which he has given
in nearly every county In the state.
discussed the railway proposition
and negro disfranchisement at length,
i*ferrlng to the charge against him
here that he would not pay his debts
brought forth by an account which a
!o« ai physician is sard to hold agalrist
him, and which, It Is alleged, Mr.
* s mtth declined to pay.
He said that the bill In question
"as a flagrant overcharge and that
in had tendered payment in the sum
usually made ‘by physicians .. In such
1 uses. The account held by the phy-
M- ian was for the examination of a
'■‘h-nt Mr. Smith, who was Injured
in i railroad wreck and who sued the
railroad In the courts of this clunty.
Mi. Smith stood for the payment. He
»d today that the physician was wel-
1 ;u< to sue him and that if he obtain
ed judgment the bill would be paid
Promptly.
INJUNCTION case
CALLED IN COURT
*i lil to The Georgian.
I’-'ine, Ga.. August 16.—The Injunc-
*n proceedings and application for a
r " -Ivor for | te | state of the late lial-
•-■•d Smith, recently filed l»y the city
r Home against Executor ^Torrls
^nilth, is being heard before Judge
M .m s Wright today. The city Is en-
' * avorlng to restrain the executor from
Gisj. ^ing of the estate and api<y for
a re«-f»iver to sell the property to reim
burse the city on the alleged shortage
' t ' f the former clerk, Halsted Smith.
H* L nse claims that no receivership Is
•*ary, that Norris Smith, executor,
bond several days ago to the
* Fidelity and
asked whnt money she had to back
the charitable enterprise, and she stat
ed: ‘Ah’s got tin dollahs.’ This is about
the way things now stand, and as tho
state law-makers refuse to make laws
governing the situation, the city coun
cil should. When I get In council next
year 1 will certainly draw up an ordi
nance which will better matters.”
Mayor Woodward, when advised of
the prevailing conditions, communi
cated with Officer Gloer, who In reply
stated that there were no laws touch
ing upon -this phase of cruelty to
children and that his hunds are tied.
City Warden Thomas Evans, who
recently investigated the "Memorial
Orphanage," presented the following
report to r. T. D. Longlno, president
of the Associated Charities:
Atlnntn, (in., July 19, 1906.
Dr. T. D. Longluo, City.
Hear I»oet«>r: I visited the Mcnwrlrft or

of age, and prior to March, 19<X», when this
home was established, rented laud and

Their religious belief Is "Free Methodism''
whatever that means—and she tells me that
Mr. Mhellhntntner Is at the head of the
Georgia branch of the church, being known
donations of this amount of bread. They
* »nt for the honse, and
and old buggy for the
of food on hand, and with such tneger
sources of getting funds to buy more, soiuo-
body Is houud to go hungry.
She states thnt the Rawlins children
were sent to Macon last week to their aunt.
I have no way of verifying this state
ment. except to write to the relatives of
the children ns to their whereabouts, which
should he done. I would thank you to give
me their address.
No Educational Training.
1 found nine other children In the hack
yard nt play. Hhe claims thnt they are
receiving religious training, hut they hnve,
so far ns I am able to Judge, no facilities
for educational training, the supposed
school room lw*lng no more than a dun
geon—a cellar room—with no hooka, fur
niture, and, for thnt mater, I suppose, no
Instructors.
I wns Impressed with the Insanitary con
dition of the sleeping Apartments, old hods
being used and evidently several children

Mr. Harwell is now In the country near

lalui.s this enterprise exclusively
and says the Lord told her to start
this work. So, In March, 1905. without a
dollar, she took the or six children, moved
. _ ... 1 54 Mouth Mclhitilel street uud

I found ’twenty-five ehlldren there. She
tells me that she receives ehlldren from
iiutlylng towns, some from Cedartown, nnd
iio Inter than yesterday three arrived from
Griffin, (ia. I reeognlxed two small girls
of one J. K. Jester, a printer. These ehll
dren have been there for live mouths and-
she states that the father had paid only
$7 for.their innluteuaneo during that time,
ivover, she violins thnt all the ehlldren
from Atlanta, except eight or nine,
went through the entire building and
i double room found nine of the ehlldren
old beds and pallets, asleep, and two
machines. She tells
thnt the children are and hnve been In
great need of etothlng, which tljelr

New York, Aug. 16.—Harry K. Thaw-

that he was 610,000 richer than he was

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 6114,371.32. 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-

ow of Wilklnsburg, Pa., Into a resort.
He is suffering severely from his Im
prisonment In the Tombs. Only the
know ledge that his defense will tie con

sustains him. He continually urges his
attorneys to gather evidence as to the
life Stanford White led, fearing appar

London, Aug. 16.—News agency dis
patches from Warsaw this morning
bring completer details of the reign of
terror that existed In that town yes
terday when 26 policemen and soldb-rs
were murdered In the street.
It was the Catholic feast day of the
assumption and nothing could have
been more peaceful than the spirit that
pervaded Warsaw in the morning
hours. The weather was splendid, and
thousands were taking advantage -f
the holiday. The streets were crowded
und hundreds were on the way to tho
country districts. Suddenly arnw.l
bands of revolutionists made their ap
pearance 4n the streets as if by pre
arranged signal.
Attacks were made upon the police
patrol and the first murder was In tho
Wolu suburb. A policeman had been
killed. An hour later another, police,
man, two soldiers and a marshal were
shot In Kowaka street. Soon the
streets. were deserted, save for t lie
hands of revolutionists and the s..i-
dlers and policemen from 1 o'clock in
the afternoon until 1 o’clock at night,
when the soldiers finally succeeded in
closing the shops, murders were >f
constant occurrence In all parts of the
town.
Strong detachments of „ infantry,
dragoons nnd Cossacks were ordered
out to aid the police. These ru le
through the streets all night, aiding
the vans of the ambulance society in
