Statistics compiled by Lenox Thorn

VAN DYKE IS OUT
Of POLICE FIGHT
Decides He's Too Busy To Be
Chairman of That Commit
tee of Council.

Alderman Arthur H. VanDyke said
today that he had practically decided
that he would be unable to accept the
Craftsmanship Of the police committee
of council next year. because of the
great amount Of time the position would
require.
Under charter amendments, The com
mittee must investigate all hotels and
lodging houses and locker clubs the
first Of the year. before granting them
permits to operate. Then in July all
near beer saloons must be investigated
and permits issued.
The alderman's announcement also
means a change OF program Of the
Woodward administration in relation to
Police Chief Beavers. It was generally
conceded that the new mayor would
name Alderman VanDyke as the police
committeeman, which carries with it
a place on the police commission. Al
derman VanDyke declared war on
Chief Beavers several days ago.
Either Alderman John f. McClelland
or Councilman Orvlle II. Hall is ex-
pected to get the place. Neither Of
them would assume an antagonistic
attitude to the powers in charge of the
police department at present even
though they are antagonistic TO Mayor
elect Woodward.
The change Indicates that there will
be no fight in the police commission I'M

SUNDAY

1t Will Be a Balmy Day-a Day
for Outdoors, ForeCaSter
Promises.

That Christmas 1nery, those jabots
and folderols and silk things that San
t. Claus brought, will come in handy
tomorrow; Sunday will be day for
promenade. and Peachtree and White
hall it is safe to say, will be thronged
with Atlanta on dress parade Christ
mas neckties, brilliant and wonderful,
win be excusable tomorrow, for the
reason that they will be in tune with
the day.
The weather man promises o. day
without a cloud, without wind; a day
that will be never too cold, and for the
most part really balmy; an Indian sum-
mer Sunday-and, being Sunday, less
smoke. 1t will be a day for outdoors,
says Director Won Hermann.
But as he talked today of q glorious
Sunday. his worried glance wandered
from Atlanta's position on the weather
map to that of Texas. Little black cir
cles on the gulf coast indicated increas-
ed cloudiness. Increasing cloudiness in
Texas portends a storm, and a storm
in Texas usually plays the merry fire
with weather in Atlanta. So, although
the director holds out the promise of
a Sunday that viii pull everybody out
DOORS he hesitates to talk about what
next week may have in store. The
Texas storm may not develop; then
again it may.
But what if it does? There yet is
Sunday to live, and d big part Of Sat

Admitting close friendship with
Wilburn for the last nine months,
Mrs. King said that she so domi-
mated the young man that she had
no difficulty in persuading him to
take her husband s life, especially
after she offered to marry him
and to spend the $1,000 life in
surance. which they expected to
collect, on a honeymoon trip.
The confessions Of Mrs. King and
Wilburn corroborate in detail, only the
latter spared the woman as much as
possible. Mrs King says Wilburu
should have died before confessing.
