THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. RATflTPAT. SEPT CRUSADE ON DIVES IS BEGUN BV CITY •EARLY SATURDAY: Upward of 200 restaurants, eating houses and lunch rooms will be closed by October 1. The rattle of the war drum haa been sounded and the cam- I •« I kti against these "dives” now oper ating under cltjr licenses has been Started In earnest. The Roberts ordinance placing re sit lotions around all restaurants and eating houses was passed at the last at * don of council. Saturday morning License Inspectors R- A. Ewing and 11. O. Hayes com- nii need delivering notices to the places under lire. These notices are In the f**rm of petitions to council and will hate to.be signed and returned before the last of September. They will then be referred to the police committee, ■which will Investigate the location and hear the reports of the Inspectors as t ■ the general character of the places. The petitions will then be referred bark to council and passed or turned NEGRO’S WILD ORATORY MADE MERCHANTS FEAR RACE WAR MIGHT COME Street Preacher Was Trying to Excite Blacks. Inspector Ewing said Saturday: "Nearly every restaurant and lunch house In Decatur street will receive a cross mark, and If the ordinance Is enforced will be put out of business." Inspector Hayes said: “The lunch houses and ‘dives' on Pe ters street are even worse than those on Decatur. They will also be closed UP." Councilman C. M. Roberts, author of the ordinance, .which was drafted the hist 'of last month, said Saturday: ■ The purpose of the ordinance Is to pot an end to all this vagrancy. The to groes go Into these restaurants and there light and drink. Most of, the smaller ones are located next to sa- PiouH and are used by women who are tu t allowed to go to the bars. These •dives' have caused more trouble than anything else In Decatur, Ivy and Pe ters streets." The ordinance places around the restaurants and lunch rooms restric tions almost aa strict a/i those around the saloons. Proper permission from the adjoining neighbors must be ob tained. the restaurant must not be lo cated next to a saloon and the owner must be of good repute so far as hla record In running such places is con cerned. There are In Atlanta 350 restaurants, eating houses and lunch rooms. Out of this large number only ten come under the head of restaurant. These and the better class of eating houses will not be Interfered with by the or dinance. Councilman Roberts stated Saturday that the ordinance would tend to help the city's health to a great degree us the lunch rooms were selling stuff not lit to eat. Especially was this true of the Decatur and Peters street places, he said. EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD MAY BE NEAR Steed, of Carroll, and Alex ander Will Both Intro duee Bills For It. Pearing that the eloquent phrases of J. B. Williams, a negro and a leader among hla race, would cause a race war, a number of the Peters street merchants have petitioned Mayor Woodward to revoke the permit grant ed the radical. Mayor Woodward notlfled the police Saturday to .take In the license at the first opportunity. The petition was signed by J. C. Mayson, of the Mayson Furniture Com pany; Campbell & Poole, I«1 Peters street; J. B. Williams, the Beld Dry Goods'Company; 166-175 Peters street; the Banknlght Furniture Company, 166 Peters street, and others. It Is stated that williams, who re- celved his permit from the mayor by representing himself as a minister, se lected such texts aa "The While Men’s Crime," "The Lynching Question," "The Right of the Negro" and others equally sensational. It Is further atated that hla eloquence would arouse the members of his race, who crowded around, to dangeroua heights and that trouble of serious na ture would result It the preaching waa not stopped. Mayor Woodward when he heard about the case declared that he waa going to put a stop to moat of the street preaching. "After thla I will not Issue liermlts to any other street preachers unless l know they ore really worthy," said he. ‘T am going to call In nearly every one that Is out and make the negroes go to work. They are not do ing any good, but are only exciting other negroes and taking their earn ings." WllllamR dropped Into the mayor’s office at an early hour and seemed to have been severed from all his xealoua eloquence against the white man. "I'm a good nigger and want to do what'a right," he said. "I do Inside work," he replied when some one offered him a Job of sawing wood. , T FURNISH^ TICKETS Name Will Not Appear oh Regular Democratic Ticket. "S. a. McLendon, Democrat; X, C. Crenshaw." That Is the way the' election blanks to be s?nt out to the various precincts by Secretary of State Cook read for railroad commissioner. The Socialists have no candidate for railroad commlsaloner, aa they nomi nated their state ticket before the legislature passed the law making these officers elective by the people. Candidate Crenshaw through a per' sonul representative wanted Secretary Cook to place hla name on the Demo- cratic ticket. Secretary Cook returned tilm word that he had no authority over that matter, as these tickets were printed and sent out by the state Democratic executive commltee. It will be seen, then, that Colonel Crenshaw will have to provide his own tickets, reprinting the names of the other nominees with his name sand wiched In for railroad commissioner. His name Is on the ticket only where the Australian ballot system prevails. Friends of Candidate Crenshaw at the capitol Saturday were making the contention that Nominee McLendon bolted the national Democratic ticket In 1696 and 1900, voting for Palmer and Iluckner In the former campaign, and for McKinley' and Roosevelt In the lat ter. If this fight Is carried to the hust ings In the next three and a half weeks, the contest for railroad commissioner will assume more Importance than was attached to Mr. Crenshaw's meteoric announcement when first made. 0O00O00O000O00OOOO0O000000 0 0 0 AND HIS JOB KEEPS HIM 0 0 GUESSING ALL THE TIME. 0 O 0 000O00000O0000O00000000000 BURTON WINS FIGHT ING.O. P. CONVENTION Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 8.—Congressman Burton won the first fight In' the Republican county convention Saturday when Francis W. Treadway, hi* candidate for chairman, was elected to that office by in overwhelming majority over William M. Eayle, the candidate of the Dlck-Foraker forces. Senator-elect E. T. Steed, of Carroll, will Introduce a bill to extend the state road to the sea on the first day of the session of the next senate. He made that statement at the cup| ltd Saturday morning. He will also reintroduce and press to passage his bill to elect the county school commta-| eioneni by the people of their respective i ountles, just as the other county of-| t fleers are. Senator Steed will icpresen^thS Thirty-seventh, senatorial district In tlo senate. He Is the only candidate for president pro tem of that body. For the past two terms he represented Carroll In the house. After attending to some business at the capitol. Senator-elect Steed at tended the Sacred Harp convention, which opened Its thror days' session Saturday at the Broughton Tabernaele. In speaking of the extension or the western and Atlantic, Senator Steed raid that be would advocate making a direct appropriation for the common schools, taking part of the convicts to put upon the extension and diverting the rental of this road to this work. A* the fertiliser fees will now go to the district colleges, being diverted from the school fund, ho thinks It equally advisable to withdraw this half of the rental of the Western and At lantic from the school fund to eld In this extension, supplying this deficit In the school fund with a direct appro priation from the slate treasury. It Is also understood thnt Hon. Hoop er Alexander, of DeKalb, will again otter his bill for the same purpose In the next house, and the passage of one or the other of these measures seems now more assured than at any| previous ii legislation.

New Orleans, Sept. 8.—New Orleans la determined to show to the world that the passes at tha mouth of the Mis sissippi river forming the entrance to the harbor are perfectly safe to all navigation. Business men of the city through the Progressive Union today made a formal request upon Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte asking the ap pointment of a commission of com petent engineers to Investigate and re port upon the depth of the water. This step Is actuated by a report coming from Washington that the bureau of navigation objects to sending the new battleship Louisiana here to receive the silver service that the citizens of this state have contracted for to present the state's namesake on the ground that It Is dangerous to Mi)d the big ship through the shallow 1 passes. The rec ords show the Mrs of this character to be groundless. Every congressman amt senator in the Mississippi valley has been asked to assist In securing thle commission. BAD T REPORT Of CLEARINGS SHOWS OIG INCREASE Atlanta's steady Increase In business Is dearly Indicated by the clearing house re|>ort for the week,' Issued Sat urday morning. The increase for the past week over the corresponding week last year is something over 8600,000. The figures are as follows "The klttg of France marched his army up the hill and then marched down again." And that waa what the convention of candidate# for the proposed court of appeals did at at state capltot Wed nesday. After an hour's Informal discussion among themselves, they reached the conclusion that It would be entirely Im proper for them to make any sugges tion to the state Democratic executive committee and adjourned without tak ing any uctlon whatever. There were Just fourteen candidate*, active and prospective, present. There were only "13” at first, but Judge Fos ter came In and broke the unlucky spell. The session was held In the supreme court library shortly after the noon hour Saturday and adjourned after an hour's Informal talk among the lawyers present. Judge I. M. Roberts, of East man, was chairman and Logan Bleck ley. secretary. Those “present were: David M. Rob erts. Kastman; Bartow 8. Willingham, Forayth; P. P. Proffitt, Elberton; Ar thur O. Powell, Blakeley; T. J. Chnp- E ll, Columbus; W. R. Hammond, At- tta; T. F. Greene, Athens;' C. G. Janes, Cedartown; Frank Harwell, La- Orange; E. P. Davis, Warrenton; H. l’eeples, Atlanta; B. H. Hill, Atlanta; W. M. Henry, Rome; F. C. Foster, Madison. A letter from Chairman A. L. Miller, of the state Democratic executive com mittee, to Logan Bleckley waa read to the meeting, staling that It was Impos sible for liim to attend, but that he would with pleasure submit any sug gestion they might make to the meet ing of the state committee when they met next Wednesday. Three plans tor naming these Judges will probably be considered by the com mittee next Wednesday, as follows: 1. To nominate three candidate# at the October election to be voted for at the November election, a separate box to be put at each polling place In the ',?i)0 districts In the state. 2. To call a primary election some time during October. 3. To let the candidates run It out In scrub race at the November elec tlon. DEATH OF T. R. MX.

THIRTY-FIVE BOYS ARE RELEASED FROM THE WARD OF PROBATION . AFTER PROMISING TO BE BETTER Thirty-five boyz of varying age* and color who have for months felt the cord* of the law binding their move menti, were set at liberty Saturday morning after having proven thetr In tention of reforming. The walla of the court room at the police atatlon which have heard *0 many tales of violence and crime, echoed only the recital of Juvenile troubles Saturday and words of good cheer and commehdatlon came frohi the bench Instead of atern sen tences for malefactors. The efficiency of Probation Officer Gloer and the probation system waa fully proven when the hlstoity of the probation boys was . read. It showed that boys may be led by kfndneae Into a reform which no harsh Imprisonment can bring nbout, that Instead of being trained-into professional criminals by confinement with 'evil characters they may be brought to a aense of thetr own mistaken and led Into making a new beginning. , On one aide of the court room eat the probation boys while on the other were heir parents and a number of ladles of the various charitable and religious or ganisations who have been Interested n the work. Probation Officer Gloer, the official who has proven himself the boys’ friend and whom they have learn ed to trust Instead of fear, read the list of those who had shown Improve ment and were ready to be dismissed. Recorder Naah Broyles rave each boy a word nr two of kindly commendation with advice to continue to be good. Under the probation system a juve nile offender Is not confined with com mon criminals or sent to the stockade to serve a sentence. He Is turned over to the probation officer, who takes his address and requires him to make a weekly jeport aa to hla habits. No pro bation boy la permitted to remain Idle. He must go to school or work. Every week they call at the offlee of the offi cer and report that they have been working all the week nnd are behaving themselves. And most of them tell th# truth.- If a probation boy Is arrested the second time sterner measures are used and he may be sent to the re formatory If the. circumstances war rant It. The boys ranged from 10 to 14 years, most of them bright looking little fel lows. Their crimes varied from theft to throwing rocks on the street. Four negro boys were on the list while one Chinaman answered the roll when his son’s name was called. Chinese Boy Goss to Celestial Heme. George Lee, a young Chinese boy, was arrested nearly a year ago for car rying a pistol. Hla father. Sam Sing Lee, asked permission a few months ago to send the boy back to China to school, and this was granted. Sam Sing Lee thanked the Judge and the officer smilingly when they scratched his boy's name from their HsL Mr. Gloer's report showed that nearly every boy waa hard at work and wns being good. They were called up one by one before Judge Broyles and their history recited briefly. Some were amltlng, some were almost crying, but not one seemed to be afraid of officer Gloer, and he talked to each of them as to an old friend. When Judge Broyles announced that the boy* would be freed from proba tion, he made a short address, In which he dwelt on the evils of cigarette smok ing and paid especial attention to the Star theater and Ita reputation as resort unfit to visit. "How many of yqu smoke cigar- ettea?" asked the judge. “Be honest now.” Five hands went up. There were several faces which looked ashamed. "How many of you go to the Star theater?" asked Judge Broyles. Only one hand was raised. 'Those are two bad habits,” contin ued the Judge, "but going to the Star Is the worst. No decent woman ever goes there and no boy should go where he would be ashamed to nee " ONE MAN KILLED, FOUR ARE HURT, Bluefleld, W.

Several hand* remained down on thl* proposition and one or two of the boys refrained from making any promises about the Star theater, but most of them appeared willing to try their best. Probation Officer Gloer made a short talk. "We have been honest with you, boys," he said, "and we want you to be honest with us. The Judge wants to see you do right and so do I. It would hurt either of us dreadfully to have any of you be arrested again. And don't any of you forget that your mother la the beat friend you ever had or ever will have, and don't do any thing that will bring tear* to her eyes. You may go now, and goodby.” "Court Is adjourned," cried Clerk Preston. There were few dry eyes In the court room as boys .and pa rents filed out of the big doors.

The release was signed by Mayor Woodward Saturday morning. Councilman Walter A. Taylor, who was acting recorder when Osborne was tried and sentenced to 10 days In the city stockade, communicated with the mayor and asked that the release be signed. It was claimed, through Attorney H. M. Patty, representing Osborne’s broth er, that the Socialist was unable to pay the fine and that the brother, who Is poor farmer, would have to stand the cost. The proviso to the pardon Is rigid. The mayor states that everything will be done to keep street speakers from blocking the thoroughfares.
