Atlanta S first white Thanksgiving in
the memory Of man brought shouts

beautiful" from his grown-up sister.
The snow clad trees and the radiance
Of the sunshine sparkling on the icy
foliage was a scene to delight the soul
of a painter But the earliest snow on
record in Atlanta brought with it
something more than fun and beauty.
There was cold il the cabins of the
poor, the searching, biting cold which
comes only with snow storm. There
was lack of food in many OF these
homes of the humble There We're
hundreds OF families who saw only the
bread OF charity for their Thanksgiving
dinner, while all the world seemed
feasting on turkey and oyster dressing.
The white feast day was q black fast
day for many an Atlanta child.
Early in the day the line began to
form at the office OF City Warden
Thomas Evans. Most of the others Of
the city hall force mad taken a holiday,
but when the first fakes fell last night
the warden knew there would be no
holiday fol him. he was at his desk
today before most Of Atlanta had
slipped its breakfast coffee, but the
poor were even earlier than he.

WINNER Of
k. 4. c. ROAD RACE.
Wesley Memorial Runner Clips
Nearly Minute From 1911
Time Manning Second.

Clipping last years time nearly a
minute W. S Locke, better known as
sally" Locke, the Wesley Memorial
Athletic club runner, easily won the
Atlanta Athletic club road race over the
Piedmont Ponce DeLeon Peachtree
course today in 16 minutes 81 As sec
onds. The race was won last year by
Gilbert Cheves OF Marist college, in II
minutes and 30 seconds.
George Manning, stripping from
Marlst college, running third for the
first mile, crept into second place dur
ing the last half and held mis- position
to the finish. Judge Fowler, OF Marist,
finished third The other seven runners
Of the first ten finished in the following
order:
j. s. Cheves, Narist, fourth; Glenn
Callahan Marist fifth; w r. Lancas-
ter, Wesley. sixth: Robert Hubert, Mar
list, seventh; William Wrigley, Marist,
eighth; Robert Wallace, Marist, ninth,
and Henry Tull, Marist, tenth.
Marist college finishing eight run
ners in the first ten, won the team
prize offered by the club, q loving cup.
The first three runners received the
medals offered by the club.
Perhaps the feature Of the race was
the disappointing showing of Gilbert
Cheves. of Marist college, who had been
picked as an easy winner on the show
ing he made In the race last year.
Cheves quit the race in Peachtree
street complaining of bad ankle. He
held fourth place during the first mile
and a half with Locke, Fowler and
Manning running with a good lead over
him.
When the runners left the mark in

COUNCIL WILL.
DANISH SLOT
MACHINES
Ordinance To Be Passed at
Next Meeting to Prohibit
These Gambling Devices.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
TO TAKE UP TOMORROW

Councilman Charles w. Smith. chair
man OF the council committee on leg
islation. said today that an ordinance
would be passed at the next meeting
of council absolutely prohibiting the
use Of slot gambling machines in sa-
looms and locker cluA E
Il have called a meeting OF the COM
mittee on legislation for tomorrow aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock" he said. at that
meeting an ordinance wiping out this
infamous system undoubtedly will be
adopted. From the expressions of the
other members Of the committee. Al
dermen James +. Warren snd John S.
Gambler. Couucilmeu Claude c. Mason
and Clarence Haverty, | feel sure that
they think as I DO
I'VE would have considered this mat
ter at the meeting Of Inc committee
Tuesday, but no quorum was present.
Alderman Gambler as acting mayor, is
so busy that he may not be able to at
tend the meeting tomorrow. Council
man Haverty is out Of the city and is
not expected back by that time. But
the other three of us are sufficient to
formally recommend an ordinance to
council, and I think council will adopt
the ordinance forthwith"
Hands Tied, Beavers Says
Police Chief Beavers said the slot
machines are the most cunning gam
bling device ever used in Atlanta. He
said he had not proceeded against them
because w. D. Ellis. Jr., assistant city
attorney, had signed q written agree
ment with John w Moore, attorney for
the Atlanta Gum Company which owns
a large number of the machines, that
the city would not prosecute any of the
owners Of the machines for gambling
until the higher courts decided whether
the operation of such machines was a
game of chance.
With proper legal instructions, Chief
Beavers said he would at once stoI all
use of the machines.
The opinion Of w. G. Humphrey,
chairman of the police committee Of
council, is that the machines should be
barred from saloons and locker clubs,
whether they are gambling devices or
not. Regardless OF the phase of the
law with which Attorney Ellis Is deal
ing, members of council have decided to
stop this gambling through their au-
thogity to regulate the conduct OF near
beer saloons and locker clubs,

out OF work by the snow which had
stopped all outdoor employment. Some
of the applicants were regulars OF
course, cunning mendicants who make
every snow and every holiday an eX-
cuse for begging. But the warden

Snow brings an increase OF hardship
on the poor. 1t is real, too, not i'm

rotary Logan said the snow would be
too temporary to cause much suffer-
ing. He did not anticipate an in

ROME. GA, Nov. 2S.-Aroused by the
publication Of shameless violations OF
the state prohibition laws in Georgia,
as set forth in The Atlanta Georgian of
Monday last, Seaborn Wright, the great

The Floyd county prohibition leader
severely scores Governor Brown for his

is concerned, and contrasts IT with his

Declares Solicitors
Have Weapon.

Mr.. Wright says the solicitors and
judges have a weapon with which they
may reach the evil sought to be cor
rected and that without waiting for a
jury verdict, too often not coming; and
he cites his own city Of Rome as an
example Of how the law surely may be
enforced against violstors.
Mr.. Wright said:
"The mail order houses OF Savan-
nah are but another forward step by
the whisky trust and brewery combine
in the open, shameless notification of
the law of sovereign state.
"The cause Of this forward step by
the whisky and beer interests lies in
the fact that the people have elected a
governor who says he can not enforce
law in Georgia. have elected judges and
solicitor generals who will not enforce

Weekly. Ga
Until Roosevelt came into the open
as a candidate for the presidency five
months ago there was strong and
rapidly growing progressive movement
within the Republican party. 1t was
based upon clearly defined principles.
1t stood forth as the representative or
modern political thought on funda-
mental democracy. 1t had assumed
national proportions. 1t was united.
Into this movement, when it gave
promise of national success, Roose-
welt projected his ambition to be pres
ident a third time. He spent weeks
carefully planning a spontaneous cali
for himself. He responded by an
nouncing that he would be a 'recep-
tive candidate. His candidacy began
to drag. He and his friends we're in
despair. Then came his defeat in
North Dakota. He became desperate.
"An enormous campaign fund was
raised. Headquarters were opened lin
