None Of them was aware Of the
chiefs plans and all received the sur
prise Of their lives when they learned
that he had suddenly taken the vice
situation in his own official hands and
had done what no other chief OF police
had ever dared TO do.
In assuming full responsibility for the
wiping out Of the resorts, Chief Beavers
says that he had been carefully study
ms over the matter for some time and
had become convinced to the satisfac-
tion Of his own mind and conscience
nat it was his plain duty to follow the

Asked when he definitely decided on
his plan Of action, the chief replied:

Chief Through a
Week of Agony.
consequence

Chief Beavers had been through 2
week of agony. He had lain awake
with his conscience. He had seen the
light He had done his duty. He knew
he would be lauded by many, censured
by many more. He could not know
whether his act was to be worldly wise.
But he knew it was his duty to himself
and to his oath of Office.
For James L. Beavers is not only a
policeman, but man; not only an Of
fetal, but good citizen, q churchgoer
a man who loves friends and family
and right living His record in the po-
lice department has been singularly
free from the faint of partisan politics
his personal conduct always beyond
reproach
The system had been there when
Beavers joined the force. 1t had ex-
listed through his apprenticeship, when
he was captain 1t was there when
he became chief of his department. 1t
was recognized, tolerated, even COM
mended as a lesser evil. The city had
wrestled with it under the spur of pop
ular movements: grave bodies of wise
men had debated the problem which is
as old as Babylon and had not agreed
James Beavers superiors, the men who
made him chief and who might unmake
him. Were content with conditions as
they existed. They called him chief
but it had been an unwritten law of the
department that no such step as this
might be undertaken without especial
authority. No chief in Atlantas his
tory had taken such burden upon hi;
shoulders.

ANACOSTIA FILES
RAILROAD PROTEST
Citizens Declare Common Carriers
Have Disseminated Against
the Suburb. +

Formal complaint against the alIegeS
discrimination of the local express COM
panies, the Pennsylvania Railroad. and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. in de-
livering freight to points beyond the
Anacostia River will be fled with the
Interstate Commerce Commission this
morning by the Anacostia Citizens Asso-
citation
| The petition has been prepared by At
torneys Frank S. Bright and A. E. Beck.
The defendant companies will be given
twenty days by the commission in which
to file answers TO the petition. The fight
of the Anacostia citizens against the
common carriers has been a long one.
II was initiated just about a year ago.
Several informal complaints were filed
with the commission, but nothing re-
suited from the action. After long agi-
tation. however, the telegraph compa-
mics finally agreed to give the residents
of Anacostia the benefit of the same
rates as the people Of the city proper.
Basis of Complaint.
The petition states that the discrimi-
nation lies in the fact that the defendant
companies refuse TO deliver freight be-
yond the Anacostia River gratis Charges
are made for the delivery Of goods across
the waterway. The association contends
that Anacostia is much nearer the freight
stations Of the defendant companies than
some sections of the city to which freight
is deliver gratis. This petition states that
this is an unjust discrimination.
The association contends that the fires
zone of the companies at present Is en-
tirely arbitrary and not based on dis
lance from freight station centers as .
should be.
