Let US suppose, for instance, that
Captain B, Of the Atlanta police force
made a deal with certain breakers Of
the law whereby he was to receive
rake-off every month and they were to
be let alone by the police The rooms
of this fraternity are located on South
Pryor street
Captain might be able to keep the
place covered for a while But the re-
mainder Of the force would be always
working and eventually would stumble
upon the protected den. Naturally
enough the gamblers would want to
know from Captain why they hadn't
been protected and then the cat would
be out Of the bag.

ATLANTA POLICE HAVE
NOCEANCE FOR GRAFT
SYSTEM, SAYS CHIEF

Could the Rosenthal murder happen
in Atlanta"
Chief J. L. Beavers. Of the Atlanta
police force, leaned back in his chair
and smiled
It's OF course possible for band Of
assassins to organize, lay In wait for a
man shoot him and even obtain tenn
porary freedom, but if you mean to ask
whether the series OF circumstances
which led to the Rosenthal murder
could exist in Atlanta say no, en-
phatically"
The chief gave several reasons
In the New York department, il my
information is correct, the system of
protection to criminals which brought
about the Rosenthal shooting was able
to live on account OF three things-a
false idea Of loyalty which made honest
officers protect those who were not
honest; secrecy of police records, and
the extension Of favors TO criminals
who might be useful None of these
exists or could exist in the Atlanta po-
lice force"
Protection Couldn't Exist Here.
The Rosenthal sensation grows big
ger with each passing day After the
gamblers death in front OF the Metro
pole revelations came thick and fast
Finally Lieutenant Becker, of the po-
lice department, was arrested and then
came to light the story Of the system
which had enabled a man only two de-
grees removed from an ordinary police
man to build up a graft institution
feudal in its power.
Il should say" declared Chief Beav-
ers that protection could not exist in
Atlanta primarily because there is
nothing to protect. There is no gam
bling here to speak of-but if there
should be and an officer would attempt

May Retard Development of Line-Van Dyne

death Of his grandfather. Dennis Is in
Philadelphia today having received
wire calling him away just before go

ticularly unfortunate.
Bennis had arranged to spend Satur-
day. Sunday, and Monday away from
the team as he has to devote time TO
business. This matter was straight
ened out. and part of the time was to
be spent away from Washington. Just
at this time when the line needed spe-
cial attention Bennis will be away.

the line In charge, and will devote his
time to these men until Bennis gets
back.

JUSTICE HUGHES Is OUT
HOLDS UNSTAINED INTEGRITY
 OF SUPREME COURT.
Tells Rabbi Neishbor Supreme Court Must Not Be Dragged Into
 Nations Politics.

Lake Placid, N. Y, June 22.-Bas- ing what he has to say upon a per sonal interview had with United States Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Hughes, Rabbi stephen S Wise of New York, a close personal friend of the Justice, whose summer camp is near the Hughes camp, issued to the representative of the Associated Press a statement setting forth the real req sons, he says, why Justice Hughes can- not allow his name to be considered by the Republican convention at Chicago. His statement is:
 'I have just come from a visit to Justice Hughes at Camp Abenski, Lake Placid and deem it of import him to refuse to permit his name to be considered in connection with the nomination for President at the con- vention of the Republican party at Chicago
 His answer has been 'No,' and as far as another may judge, that answer has been reached without regret. This No is the reasoned and unalterable decision of an unbending conscience, a decision as honoring to him as has been every hour of his noteworthy public career.
 AS We parted, I turned to him and asked the final question::
 "'Do you not conceive that an ex- traordinary crisis might make it your duty to accept the nomination for President in order to render great public service?'
 "Unhesitating and unequivocal was this answer: I hope that as Justice of the Supreme Court I am rendering public service and may continue to do so for some years, but the Supreme Court must not be dragged into poli tics, and no man is as essential to his country's well-being as is the unstain- ed integrity of the courts.'"

 ''What'll he do next?' asked the manager. "The man is wizard. That's fine! He's playing the Italian National air. Hurry up, Bowley, and throw the pictures of the king and queen on the screen before they stop singing. The roof'll fall with their noise"
 When the lights were turned on again the excitement had spent itself a little, the man who had caused it all was gone. A reporter for one of the dailies came hurrying up and seized the manager by the arm.
 How'd you get him, Davy?" he asked. Where Is he? I want to in- terview him. Quick. before he es- capes!"

TheSyrnphony

It was amateur night at the Gaiety since the little theater had been built was there such an audience. The manager was beside himself with excitement, but the people be- fore the curtain did not confuse him half as much as those behind.
 The weekly prizes of $1, $2, and $5 were always contested for eagerly by the people of the Latin quarter, whose patronage the house solicited. and more especially this Friday night 1t seemed. The manager knew why such an unusual number el- bowed and pushed each other in their eagerness to get near the door.
 The winners of the coveted dollars would not squander them this week. Instead, they would send them direct ly to the homeland, where relatives and friends were in terror and suf- fering.
 "They can't all go on, Steve" said the manager to his assistant, well have to thin them out. See what kind of turn each one does and take the best; get the funniest ev- cry time. The people have cried enough this week-they're paying to be amused tonight, so be careful not to get any weeping-willow acts. Hustle up, now! I'll look after the seating. The law allows us to squeeze in 100 more"
 The assistant hurried behind the scenes and began sorting the per formers. It was no easy task, and many were the threats and curses as one after another was refused a chance to go on. He had almost fin- ished his selection when he came to a swarthy little man In the costume of a Sicilian peasant
 "Hullo!" said the assistant What do you do. Speak up?"

 "But-me playa nice. Me no getta da hook. Me maka da plan to talk!"
 No doubt you can make 1t walk, but 1 can't let you try. Next!"
 The little man turned away, nut tering as his fellows had done, and the curtain went up for the first per former.
 There was something wrong with the audience that night. It was ex- tremely critical and hard to please. The merriest jokes fell fiat and the cleverest trickster was only faintly ap- plauded
 Its funny" said the manager as he and his assistant met in the rear of the hall. What ails them? That last song was we'll done and mighty catchy. Why don't they clap?"
 'I don't know" said the other, gloomily. At the rate they're turn. ing 'em down the whole bunch could have gone on. What! I told that fellow to keep off"
 The little man in Sicilian costume
  was standing in the middle of the stage He looked bit of old Italy with his curly locks and long gold earrings. T come to play to you of the homeland" he said in his native tongue. T have the music that can make you see it as 1t lies in the sun- light. It will make you see the sea, the olive groves and the clear blue sky. Listen!"
 The audience grew suddenly still as he seated himself at the piano and struck a few soft chords. Then the notes began to weave themselves in- to a story, and as the musician un- folded it to his listeners his face grew rapt and was beautiful
