awaiting only this offer to call off his
revolt, though ne had previously de-
clared that he would yield only when
Madero is driven from Mexico.
The offer of amnesty has had the OPP

notified the forces in the field that this
indicates a weakening of the govern

continue Madero will be driven from

Madero offered amnesty on his own
initiative and against the advice of his
supporters. He had hoped that the Of
fer would be accepted as a pledge of
his desire to rule by kindness rather
than the sword and is disappointed by
the rebels attitude.

ment of Chief Jennings was forecast a
year or two ago and speculation as to
his successor began, there was but one
and present.
Beavers is the man." they agreed.
He may not land, for he isn't much Of
a wire puller. But he's the right man
for the place"
James L. Beavers was born in Clay.
ton county. fifteen miles from Atlanta,
in 1866, which makes him As years old
He is erect, fresh-looking clear eyed.
In citizens clothes you would not take
him for a police officer. There is none
of the slang Of the criminal world in
his conversation; none of the rough
ness which comes to 80 many police
men after years of association with
lawbreakers
He is quiet, rather diffident in man
ner; apparently embarra ssed today by
the notoriety he has received He
looked as though he would like to go
fishing for week or two until the
newspapers and the public have for
somebody else .,.
On the Force Since 1899.
Jim Beavers came to Atlanta when
he was 81 and the next year, in 1889,
found a place on the police force under
Chief A. B. Connolly. He has worn
the uniform since He served ten years
as patrolman, call officer, mounted po-
liceman, and then climbed to a SER
geantcy. He was a sergeant for six
years. When the Woodward admins
tration went into office, the old fac
tional warfare in the police board took
a new turn and heads were Topped off
freely. Sergeant Beavers went back
to the ranks. There was no charge
against him. 1t was just a "shake-up,"
a frequent occurrence in the days be-
fore civil service rules protected the
department.
In about eighteen months Beavers
was made a roundsman. Not long aft
erward, in April, 1907, he jumped from
roundsman to a captdincy. And then,
when old Chief Jennings retired, the
police board picked Captain Beavers as
the right man to head the department,
and he was elected chief No other
man in the force could have been so
acceptable to the rank and file Of the
department. His final step was made
in August, 1911, just a little more than
a year ago.
Chief Beavers is a member Of Wal
lace Presbyterian church, and his aged
father is an elder in Druid Hills Pres
byterian church. 1t has been a Cod
fearing, religious Georgia family for
generations.
NO l don't get to church very oft
en-" the chief said, smilingly. Il wish
could, but a policeman's life is irreg-
ular. But try to do what's right, and
when a mans duty lies as straight
ahead as mine did, there's nothing else
for him to do and be square with him

The TAFT MEETING
Young Men Organize to Garry
State for President.
Good Attendance and Lots of
Enthusiasm for Cause.

The ''old heads may shake their
trembling fists on the street corner, the
middle aged may rumble the pavement
with their oratory-but it takes the
young bIoods to get right down to bus
mess and whoop it up for their political
party. Last night the young Taft Re-
publicans of Topeka met at the Ma
tional hotel to form an organization
of their own for the support of the
national administration. Seventy-five
men attended the meeting and the
Young Mems Republican League of
Kansas was launched with songs, yells
and all the pepper of college graus.
The new Taft club organized, named
itself, appointed committees, named
temporary officers, approved the official
battlecry and adopted two typewriter
pages of resolutionS-all for the sup
port of President Taft and for the de-
feat of the Moosers.
The resolutions swear allegiance to
Taft and promise to support only Re-
publican candidates who accepted Taft
as the chieftain of the party. This
means that the young men will do all
in their power to bring defeat to the
Republicans in Kansas who are sup
porting the third party idea.
The young men were addressed last
evening by Captain P. H. Coney of
Topeka, president of the Republican
Party League of Kansas, and ]. B. St.
in the Taft administration. These two
veterans of the party told the first,
second and third voters of the past his
tory of the United States under the
Republican party-and they pointed out
the prosperity and the meaning of the
full dinner pail since Taft assumed
the presidency. Roosevelt, his support
ers, the Republicans in Kansas who
have deserted Taft for Roosevelt, and
all connected with the Bull Moose
movement were scalded, picked, and
and prepared for the flying pan.
The battlecry of the young Tafters
IS written in dozen verses. 1t doesn
make any differenc which verse a man
is singing. the young men decided last
might, Just so this effect is produced:
It don't want your Bull Moose
''I don't want your Bull Moose
IT don't want your Bull Moose
ct want the G. o. p
The official music and words were
written by ]. A Bryant
