Simply Enforcing
Law, Says Chief.

I'm enforcing the law; that's all.
The law plainly says that such places
shall not exist, and / intend to wipe
them out. Every illegal house in this
city must be vacated and closed within
five days, There are no conditions. If
any such house is found in operation
at the end of five days. the owners and
occupants will be arrested, taken before
Recorder Broyles and vigorously pros
ecuted. There's no middle ground in
this affar-its either get out or face
the music"
The chief declared his action was
not ordered by the grand jury or any
other body or official, but that it is
based purely on his own personal de-
cision to enforce the law on illegal re-
sorts.
The law stipulates that no illega!
houses shall be conducted in Atlanta,

Comes to Aid of Accused
Snowman.

These cheap theatrical companies
are just one of the recognized feeders
for the system The advertisements
for chorus girls, like some of the ad-
vertisements for stenographers and
other girl workers, are often designed
simply to get the girls. The paths all
lead, to the same end-the resort"
That is the opinion of Marion NJ.
Jackson, whose work In the present

attention. Mr., Jackson was discussing
the case of Vessie Bostwick, Estelle
Reed and Buster" Reed, three girls
found in the employment of the EN-
pire Comedy Company, a five-cent

ture theater. While he had made no
investigation of these particular cases.

the theatrical company lodges a part
Of the game"
THE records Of the Federal prison
in the suburbs of Atlanta will show one
case in point" continued Mr.. Jackson.
There is man serving q term there
now for working this theatrical agency
game. He lured an Atlanta girl to
Tampa, Fla, under pretext of giving
her employment as chorus girl. She
landed where most OF them land, but it
happened that a man with a heart met
