CRUSADE OK DUES IS BEGUN By CITY EARLY SATURDAY T’pward of 200 restaurants, eating houses and lunch rooms will be closed by October 1, The rattle of the war drum has been sounded and the cam* pa Isrn against these “dives" now oper ating under city licenses has been started in earnest. The Roberts ordinance placing re strictions around all restaurants and eating houses was passed at ,the last session of council. Saturday morning License Inspectors H A. Ewing and H. O.

Tin- petitions will then be referred back to council and passed or turned down. Inspector Ewing said Saturday: "Nearly every restaurant and lunch house in Decatur street will receive a cro.-I mark, and If the ordinance is enf reed will be put out of business." Inspector Hayes said: "The lunch houses and ‘dives* on Pe lt . s 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 last month, said Saturday: "The purpose of the ordinance Is to put an end to all this vagrancy. The to gross go Into these restaurants and there fight and drink. Most of the •mailer ones are located next to aa- and are used by women who are n*t allowed to go to the bars. These •dives! have caused more trouble than anything else in Decatur, Ivy and Pe te ra streets." The ordinance places around the restaurants and lunch rooms restrlc- tfrnis almost as strict as those around tho saloons. Proper permission from the adjoining neighbors must be ob tained, the restaurant must not be lo cated next to a saloon and the oVvner must be of good repute so far as his record In running such places Is con * erned. Thire 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 dlnance. Councilman Roberts stated Saturday that the ordinance would tend to help the city** health to a great degree as Cl/- lunch rooms were selling stuff not fit to eat.

Fearing that the eloquent phrases of 1. B. Williams, a negro and a leader among bis race, would cauu a 'race war, a number of the Peters street merchants have petitioned Mayor Woodward to revoke the permit grant ed the radical. Mayor Woodward notified 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, 1(1 Peters street; J. II. Williams, the Held Dry Goods Company, 165-175 Peters street; the Banknlght Furniture Company, 168 Peters street, and others. It fs stated that Williams, who re ceived hla permit from the mayor by representing himself as a minister, se lected such texts a, “The White Man’s Crime,” "The lynching Question," "The Right of the Negro" and others equally sensational. It Is further stated that his eloquence would arouse the members'of his race, who crowded around, to dangerous heights and that trouble of serious na ture would result If the preaching was not slopped. Mayor Woodward when he heard about the cose declared that he was gojng to put a stop to most of the street preaching. “After this I will not Issuq permits to any other street preachers unless I know they are really worthy." said he. ”1 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." Williams dropped Into the mayor’* office at an early hour and seemed to have been severed from all his sealous eloquence agalnat the white man. “I’m a good nigger and want to do what’s ,” he said. do inside work,” he replied when some one offered him a Job of sawing wood. I Name Will Not Appear ou Regular Democratic Ticket. , ”8. O. McLendon, Democrat; T. C. Crenshaw." That Is the way the election blanks to be sent out to the various precincts by Secretary of State Cook read for railroad commissioner. The Socialists have no candidate for railroad commissioner, as they noml noted- their state ticket before the legislature passed the law making these officers elective by the people. Candidate Crenshaw through a per sonal representative wanted Secretary Cook to place hie name on the Demo cratic ticket. Secretary Cook returned him word that he had no authority over that matter, as these tickets were printed and sent out by the atate Democratic executive commltee. It will be seen, then, that Colonel Crenshaw will have to provide hla owi tickets, reprlptlhg the names of tiv other nominees with his name sand wlclied In for railroad commissioner. His name Is on the ticket only where the Australian ballot system prevails. Friends of Candidate Crenshaw dt the capltpl Saturday were making tha contention that Nominee McLendon bolted the national Democratic ticket In 1896 and 1900, voting for Palmer and Buckner 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.

IN THIRTY-FIVE BOYS ARE RELEASED •FROM THE WARD OF PROBATION AFTER PROMISING TO BE BETTER Thirty-five boys of varying ages and color who have for months felt the cords of the law binding their move ments, were set at liberty Saturday morning after haying proven their ln- tentlon of reforming. The walls of the court room at the police station which have heard ao many tales of violence and crime, echoed only the recital of Juvenile trouble* Saturday and words of good cheer and commendation came from the bench Instead' of stern sen tences for malefactors. The efficiency of Probation Officer Gloer and the probation system was fully proven when the history of the probation boys wa^ road. It showed that boys may be led by kindness into a reform which no harsh Imprisonment cah bring about, that Instead of being trained Into professional criminals by confinement with evil characters they may be brought to a Sense of their own mistakes and led Into making a new beginning. On one side of the court room sat the probation hoys while on the other were their parents and g number of ladles of the various charitable nnd religious or ganizations 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 Nash Broyles gave each boy n word or 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 la turned over to the probation officer, who takes his address and requires him to make a weekly report as to hla habits. No pro bation-boy Is permitted to remain Idle. He must go to school or work. Every week they call at the office of the offi cer and report that they have been working all the week and are behaving themselves. And most>of them tell the truth, if a probation boy Is arrested the second time sterner measures are used and he may be sent to (he re formatory l f 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 Hat while one Chinaman answered the roll when hla son’s name was called. Chinese Boy Goss to Celestial Home. George Lee, a young Chinese boy, was arrested nearly a year Ago for car rylng a pistol. His father. Sam Sing Lee, asked permission a fety months ago to send the boy back to China school, and this was granted. Sam Sing Lee thanked the Judge and the officer smilingly when they scratched his boy’s name from their list. Mr. Gloer’s report showed that nearly every boy was hard at work and was being good. They were called up one by one before Judge Broyles and their history recited briefly. Some were smiling, some were almost crying, but not one seemed to be afraid of Officer Gloer, and he talked to each or them as to an old friend. When Judge Broyles announced that the boys would be freed from proba tion, he made a short address. In which he dwelt on the evil* of cigarette amok Ing and paid especial attention to t' Star theater and Hr reputation as resort unlit to v)slt. “How many- of you smoke cigar ettes?” asked the Judge. "Be honest now.” . ‘ Five hands went up. There were several faces which looked ashamed. "How tnany of you go to the Star theater?'’ asked Judge Broyles.. Only one hand was raised. "Those are two bad habits/’ contln 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 see his moth- Keep away from the Star, my sons, "Don't Smoke Cigarettes.’ ’And ilon’t smoke cigarettes. They will ruin you. I'd like all of you to promise me that you won’t smoke any more of them." Several hands remained down on this proposition and one or two of the boys retrained from making any promises about the Star theater, but mOBt of theip appeared willing to try their best. Probation Officer Gloer made a short talk. “We have been honest with you, joys," he said, "and we want you to je 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 tnothcr Is the best friend you ever had or ever will have, and don't do any thing that will bring tears to her eyes. You may go now, and goodby." "Court Is adjourned," cried Clerk Preston. There wbre few dry eyes In the court room as boys and pa rent* filed out of the big doors.

"I Just forgot that they had request ed permission to meet at the court house," explained Clerk Henry W. Wood, of the county commlsioDcrs. In regard to a Socialist meeting which was not held Friday evening.
