The match men. however, got a chance
10 tell the women where they stood as re-
CARDS the new law, and they spoke in
such large numbers and In such rapid sue
cesslon that the chairman, the Rev. Dr.
John Haynes Holmes, the pastor OF the

GIRL (16) IN LOVE
WITH ACTOR HELD
Daughter Of Mobile Business
Man Was to Meet Vaude-
vile Performer Here.

An unromantlc father a pusy tele-
graph instrument and the law. as rep
resented by an Atlanta detective. this
afternoon put an abrupt ending to the.
two weeks old romance Of Ruth Bobe
a pretty sixteen year old girl. who ran
away from her home In Mobile to mar
ry vaudeville performer NJ. n. Avery.
Avery has not yet shown up. The girl
said he was in Birmingham.
Just two weeks ago Ruth saw Avery
and her heart did a Zip flap i was
in a Mobile theater Although stage
folk were not regarded so highly by
the folks at home, she pulled few
strings, set her friends to work and met
the actor man. She was his and he was
hers in the first inning so they
straightway decided to get married.
Gulf climates not being partial to ro-
mances, he advised her TO meet him in
Atlanta He then went on to Brmng-
ham
In accordance with instructions, she
left Mobile Her father, J. W. Bailey. a
business man of Mobile, learned Of it
=hortl~eand placed the police on her
trail
An urremitting search Of several
southern cities resulted in bringing
Ruth to light in a boarding house at
60 Formvalt street She had original
~ been p guess at the Finley hotel The
management there was responsible for
her capture.
Ruth vas highly dismaved when cap
tured, but even the ruthless law
couldn't put a crimp in the untram-
meled love she has for the actor man.
Fathers hurting no one but him
self" she said. u am going 10 marry
the man love despite brass buttons
and parenta objections
And then she smiled charminsly at
everybody including Detectives Hewell
and Holtugsworth. who arrested her.

for expenditure on Improvements. the
system of making better streets is about
he same that 1T was when the city
vas tho village Of Marthasville. There
is not a man in the city hall who can
tell when An Improvement will begin
though the funds for It are already pro
vided
ANY councilman will explain that the
hardest part Of getting an Improvement
FOR his ward is after council has aus
,horized It, The construction depart
ment always has so much work out
lined by council that it is impossible to-
10 il all within anything like the time
expected To get an Improvement start
cd always means days and days of
york With the streets committee Of
council and the chief OF construction
by the councilmer and citizens inter
osted The work that impresses the
officials as the most important is be-
gun first
Can't Plan Ahead,
This mass Of work always ahead of
the construction department has de-
velooed another awkward situation.
The city engineers are never able TO
plan ahead They are so constantly
urged to do this or that work that u IS
more than the department can do to
live I'm 20 the plans OF council. With
each councilman pulling for his par
ticular section. every piece OF work
passed up is always considered indl
vlduallv with little regard to the gen
eral development OF the city.
The greatest amount ~ work now
planned is in the new and undevelop-
ell sections Here also the most com
plant A great amount of this work
has been provided for by council The
construction department has done the
grading for much of it, The heavy rains
| have come along and washed dozens
Of such streets into terrible condt-
tons. The city convicts have been
kept busy making repairs. But few
streets have been completed so that
they can Withstand the rains
Ii is estimated that eight miles OF
sidewalk curbng has been put down
on streets this year where the side
walks have not been graded for pave
ment With curhins in this condition
the rains have washed much Of it away.

street Fair to Woodward.
Slow Work on Marietta Street
The work Of widening and paving
Marietta street from Tabernacle place
to North avenue, the city appropria-
ton to which alone is $4,000, is now
under way. But it has been and still
is progressing at a snail's pace.
The city is now spending $4,000 in
grading and paving Spring street from
Walton street to Carnegie way. But
this money has been appropriated since
January t. 1911. It is but a small be-
ginning of project to open a new
thoroughfare through the north side to
relieve the CONGESTION Of the Peach
trees.
But before this work is fairly begun
the city appropriates $4,000 to begin a
several hundred thousand project on
the Peachtrees. The lowering of the
grade where these streets join Baker
street is hardly a beginning of what
is planned for this section, but there
is no plan now in sight to complete the
whole project
One of the most important works in
progress is the building of a $4,000
viaduct over the railroad crossing at
Bellwood avenue But much more
work will be necessary to make the
avenue q good street.
$4,000 Given For Ivy Street Repairs.
Also council gave $4,000 as a starter
on costly scheme to regrade and re-
pave Ivy street from Decatur street to
Peachtree street. But the amount is
so small that provisions for its begin
ming have not been made.
In addition to these plans and a
scheme to connect West End Grant
park and Piedmont park with broad
boulevards council starts an improve
ment Of South Forsyth street, raising
its grade and repaving it.

mfs TO Carry Weapons

the old-time detectives, that one of the
brainiest gangs that ever operated in
New York is on the job.
Ono manifestation Of the people that
the police cannot be depended in in the
present crisis is the fact that some
1000 permits TO carry deadly weapons
have been applied for since the hold
up on the Bowery a week ago. And
about one-half of them have been
granted.
Horth's descrition of the automo-
bile in which the thieves escaped last
night, duplicates that Of the machine
the men who held up the East River
Banks employees on Thursday used
and i'm many respects corresponds to
that used by the robbers OF the pay
master on tho Bowery a week ago to-
day Old-time detectives believe that
the same gang was concerned in all
three crimes although Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty who used to
run a private detective agency, says
not.
The accepted theory is that this
gang has lookout men" posted
through the financial district who get
into touch with the leaders when they
locate good prospects" Acting on
this theory. the downtown section
was filled with plain clothes men to-
day, directed TO pick every suspicious
character and bring them in for in
terrogation at headquarters.
