NAVY OFFICERS WERE
NEAR DISGRACE WEEDS

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Miss Dorothy
Hester, of Evanston, for whose sake
two naval officers faced disgrace and
scandal yesterday became the bride of
Harold l.. Dahl. a civilian. After the
ceremony at the girls Evanston home
the couple left for Los Angeles,
where Dahl is employed.
Miss Hester figured as the cause Of
quarrel that eliminated at a ball given
at the navy yard in Boston in 1910, in
which DR. A. r. Robnett, an assistant
surgeon in the navy; G. p. Ault, navy
paymaster, and DR. Edward Spencer
Cowles came to blows The gin was
engaged to marry Or. Robnett. She
charged that Dr. Cowles had stolen a
photograph of her and refused to re-
turn it. The quarrel at the ball was
over this charge
Both the naval men afterward faced
courtmartial, were convicted and re-
duced five marks. The sentence was
afterward altered, however, DR.. Rob
nett being reduced two grades and sen
tence against Ault being revoked

AMNESTY OFFER

nounced today that President MAdeRo

stand to his followers II they will de-
sert him, however.
The governmen claims to have direct
information that OrcDoo has been
awaiting only this offer to cali ofr hts
revolt, though he had previously de-
clared that he would Yield only when
Madero is driven from Mexico.
The offer of amnesty has had tho Op-
posite effect from that intended.
Revolutionary sympathizers here have
notified the forces in the field that this
indicates a weakening of the gov ern-
ment and that If the various revolts
continue Madero will be driven from
office.
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.
Mexican federal troops have over
whelmingly defeated the main forces
of the rebels in the state OF Guerrero
The battle was fought at Tianguisten-
go and. according to advices received
here today, more than 300 rebels were
killed and wounded.
The textile strike in the state of Mex

ment of Chief Jennings was forecast a
year or two ago and speculation as to
his successor began, there was but one
man picked by the police reporters, past
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 46 years old
He is erect, fresh-looking, clear-eyed.
In citizens clothes you would not take
him for police officer. There is none
of the slang Of the criminal world in
his conversation; none of the rough
ness which comes to so many police
men after years of association with
law breakers.
He is quiet, rather diff1dent in man
ner; apparently embarrassed today by
the notoriety he has received. He
looked as though he would like to go
fishing for a week or two until the
newspapers and the public have for
gotten him and turned the spotlight on
somebody else.
On the Force Since 1889.
Jim Beavers came to Atlanta when
he was q 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
COLL od1oar mounted no
| liceman. and then climbed to a ser
geantcy. He was a sergeant for six
years. When the Woodward admins
| traton went into office, the old fac
tional warfare in the police board took
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 captaincy. 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
nan in the force could have been 90
acceptable to the rank and file of tho
department. His final step was made
in August. 1911, just little more thar
year ago.
