EVIL PROBE AGAIN
Atlanta, Ga. —The appointment of a
committee of five council members with
a view to making a thorough investiga
tion of the social evil in Atlanta, is now
being considered by several councilmen,
who are of the opinion that it would
be to re-establish the segregated
district.
Considerable talk has been indulged
In for some time past among certain
members relative to the condition now
prevailing in the city in this regard.
They claim that the city is rapidly be
coming infested with women of loose
morals whoso places of abode are among
the better classes of the people.
The personnel of this committee, if it
is appointed, will probably be kept a se
cret and the times of their visits will
also be kept quiet.
It is proposed that the committee
make a report of conditions and if it is
thought necessary an ordinance be pass
ed setting aside certain sections of the
city for*houses of ill fame.
“I have information that leads me to
believe that places of this kind are scat
tered all over town,” said one member
of council in speaking of the matter. “If
this condition of affairs is true then
surely there should be some way of stop
ping their introduction into decent
neighborhoods. I favor an ordinance such
fcs proposed for ths protection of decent
women and girls.”

FRANK CASE ECHO
IN SUPREME COURT
Washington. —A brief attacking the
constitutionality of the Atlanta city or
dinance requiring the licensing of private
detectives operating in that city and
incidentally reopening some of the legal
issues involved in the Leo M. Frank case,
was filed with the United States supreme
court here yesterday by Pan S. Lehon,
former district manager for the W. J.
Burns Pitective Agency in New Or
leans.
Lehon’s case is brought before the su
preme court on an appeal from a con
viction in Atlanta and will be heard
during the coming term.
The brief filed holds that the ordinance
in question is unconstitutional in that it
requires all private detectives shall be
Georgians with licenses approved by the
Atlanta chief of police. It raises the
question of Frank’s constitutional right
to have received aid in preparing his
defense from agents not under super
vision of the Atlanta police.
“The only intent and purpose of the
ordinance,” Lehon’s brief declares, “was
to drive out of business all detective
agencies which would not co-operate with
the police of the city and do the bid
ding of the police authorities; also to
exclude all non-residents from the busi
ness. And the evidence discloses that in
practical operation they were given that
effect.”
Lehon contends that he was not en
tirely engaged in private detective work,
but was the district manager in charge
of agency operatives.

Another Graniteville Woman Pays Compliment
to the Famous Tonic, Mrs. Joe Person’s Remedy
My little boy was one of the most
nervous children I ever saw. He had
never had any color or strength, al
ways seemed despondent and ill, did
not care to play with other children,
nor for amusement of any kind.
Some # of the doctors said he was
wormy; ‘another said he had chronic
stomach trouble. Well, it makes lit
tle difference what they called it they
didn’t seem to be able to master the
situation, for he continued to grow
weaker until I decided to put him on
the premier tonic, Mrs. Jefferson's
Remedy. I am thankful to say that
this medicine must have shot like an
arrow to his ills, for before he had
taken two bottles we could see a de
cided change in his appearance and
actions. He is no longer the stupid,
pale-faced boy who seemed like he
didn't care whether he lived or died.
He took a new lease on life and is
ready for whatever comes his way, be
it work or play. I have not taken any
of the tonic myself, but my husband
has, and he says it is wonderful for
indigestion and nervousness.
