A City Which Has Stopped Gambling

Referring to the recent cold blooded
murder of two deputy sheriffs in a
Memphis gambling house the Atlanta
Constitution says the establishment
was operating under quasi protection
Of the municipal authorities and de-
ploreS The fact that such a condition
can be permitted to exist anywhere.
Speaking of its owl city The Consti-
tion says:
Atlanta is one city in the South alb
SOlutely free from this terrible men,
ace. Such has been the case moreover,
for the astonishing period of twenty
years. During that long interval the
city's population has more than doub-
led itself, assimilating in the process
all classes and conditions of people OF
widely varying ideas. Its interests
social, industrial and commercial
have attained metropolitan proper
lions. 1t might be reasonably assum-
ed that with its population recruited
from cities and sections. where games
Of hazard are more or less prevalent,
and with the natural factor of incli-
nation about as strong as in communi.
ties ofequal Importance, the gambling
contingent would have obtained a
foothold. But through all the throes
OF growth and development and the
shifting of administrations represent
ing totally antithetical sentiment,
this bane of large and small cities has
never reached even the Seeding stage
since 1T was mastered by public senti-
ment in Atlanta more than twenty
years ago.
And all this has been accomplished
without the assumption OF puritanism
or depriving the people of innocent,
needed amusements. Undoubtedly no
city of its size in the country affords
its inhabitants such complete in and
outdoor recreation as does Atlanta, at
the same time preserving her reputa-
tion. free from the terrible tarnlsh OF
the gambling mania.
This same sentiment, which has
survived the trials Of twenty years.
has established convincingly the fa,-
lacy of the old hypocritical dogma
that to thrive and develop city must
maintain an "open" government;
that opeu gamiDg-houses must be al.
lowed to flourish under at least the
clOaked sanction OF the authorities; sa-
looms and brothels permitted to regu-
late themselves and their own hours.
SO long as they paid handsome rev.
enue, and every other feature OF the
"open" city suffered for the sake OF
the convenientpolicy Of "expediency."
Atlanta has de veloped into one of
the most Important commercial Gen.
tiers Of the South without the shady
assistance of such complainant soph-
iStry.

LULU nOUGnTON HURT.
Three Girls Had Been Drinking; One
Was Killed and the Others Mansled,

The South Bend papers give partlc-
ulars Of the accident at street eros
sing of the Grand Trunk railway in
South bend, Wednesday night by
which Kittie Hough OF Ligonier, aged
81 years, was killed, Mabel Clark, of
EJkhart, aged 20. received a severe
scalp wound and was badly bruised,
and Lulu Houghton, of Plymouth,
aged Is, received asevere scalp wound
on the back of the head and several
bruises on the body.
The three girls had hired a horse
and buggy at livery stable and gone
out to have "a time" They spent
the greater part OF the evening at
the Germania summer garden and
later drove to a saloon on South street,
where they again filled up with liquor.
About 1l:30 O'Clock the three girls
started TO 60 home and drove north
on Lafayette street. Miss Clarke
stated that the Hough girl was doing
the driving and was sitting on the
other girls laps. She was driving
fast and when the railway tracks were
reached, they heard someone call out
for them to stop. Looking up they
saw the train bearing down upon them
and Miss Hough started to stop the
horse. The horse came nearly to a
standStill just south Of the tracks with
its pose almost on the tracks. Think
ing that they could get across the
tracks IN time and probably not KNOW
ing that they were not then in danger
Miss HUugh struck the horse with
the whip and urged it on, and just as
it had reached the center Uf the
tracks the engine struck it, dragging
it and the buggy along for 100 feet
when the horse was torn loose from
the buggy and fell to the north side
of the tracks, while the buggy was
left on the south side. The HOugh-
ton and Clarke girls were thrown out
of the buggy, while the Hough girl
was caught on the pilot or cowcatcher
of the engine and dragged down the
tracks to the other side Of the first
alley, where she probably kicked her.
self loose or fell beneath the wheels,
or might have been knocked of by
the rapid stopping of the train. The
small wheels and the first Of the big
drive wheels passed over her and the
second wheel mad just pinched her at
the right arm pit when the train was
brought to standstill by Engineer
Mitchell, who had applied the emer-
gency brakes. The train had to be
backed up little to allow those who
had come to the unfortunate girls aid
to free her from beneath the wheels.
Her screams were .frightful and she
was exerting all her remaining
strength to crawl from beneath the
engine. She was carried to the lawn
beside the streets where she lapsed in
to Inconsistencies and died within a
very few minutes. The other two
girls were taken to the Epworth hos
pital and will recover. All of the girls
were stopping at questionable resort
on Colfax avenue kept by Madge
Smith.
Lulu Houghton is the adopted
daughter Of Mrs. John w. Houghton
of this city. She is a hayward girl
and Mrs. Houghton was not able to
control her. She had not been in
Plymouth for several months.
Mrs. Houghton went to South Bend
Thursday to render what assistance
she could in taking care of the way
