SAYS GOD FOR WOODWARD
Mr.. jackson of the Men and Religion
Movement Says He and Friends
Were Simply Mistaken.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Marion Jackson,
leader of the Men and Religion For
ward Movement, cheerfully and
frankly admits that he had the
wrong dope from the celestial re-
gions on the mayors race in At
lanta.
His slogan is still God is in our
midst" and he announces that he
and his associates have come to the
eminently christian conclusion that
God was for Jim Woodward all the
time in the last race.
Before the second primary MI.
Jackson published many bulletins in
which he declared quite positively
that God was for Mr.. Chambers, and
that the Almighty would never let
Mr.. Woodward win.
But the conclusion of the race has
not Jared the honest faith of Mr.
Jackson either in Gods divine provi-
dence or in His watchfulness over
the future of Atlanta. He and his
friends were simply mistaken, they
admit, in assuming to know on which
side the Almighty stood. And, after
all, being gentlemen of wide learn
ing as we'll as deep religious senti-
ment, they are not altogether surprls-
ed at the outcome, for the Woodward
race was by no means the only strug-
gle in which God and the preachers
have been on the opposite sides.

"CIose the Saloons for God"
DR.. H. NJ. DuBose is taking adj
vantage Of the serious situation in
Augusta to drive home the evils of
the saloon. On Sunday night he gave
the following as an outline of SER
mon showing why the saloons should
be permanently closed:
''First-The saloon in Augusta is
an unlawful institution. Certain
places in the city were licensed to
sell soft or imitation drinks; these
places for months past have sold eV-
erv kind and degree of alcoholic and
intoxicating drinks, in fragrant Vlo-
lation of law. .
"Second-The saloon is the chlet
source of crime and disease, as shown
bv compIetest proofs exhibited in the
great health congress recently sitting
in Washington City. The saloon IS
the abettor of lawlessness.
"Third-The saloon is peril in
time of disorder This fact is recog-
nized and provided against by both
the civil and military arm of govern
ment.
"FOurth-The saloon Is d sHdIne
and dishonor to us in time of peace.
1t is doubIy so in that it is run IN
open and brazen disregard of law;
"Fifth-It has been demonstrated
that the saloon can be closed. The
closing of the saloons in Augusta
during the past week has secured
quiet. order, soberness and has
greatly helped toward the enforce
ment of law. Moreover, in the opln-
ion of the press, it has resulted IN
the saving of money to people VINO
most need it. That means more com
fort in addition to better morality.
Let us close the saloons for good,
give them back the remainder OF the
blood money license and put Augusta
on the highest highway of monetary
and moral advancement,

PUT KNOT ON RIGHT SIDE
To Change Location of Death Dealing
Device in Georgia. Another Dis
covery by a Scientist.

ATLANTA.-The next man who
is legally hanged in Atlanta may en-
joy the unique, experience of dying
with the knot adjusted under his
right jaw instead of against the jugu-
lar vein on the left.
Count officials are much interested
in the announcement of the British
scientists who have investigated
hanging to the effect that while the
old-fashioned system of havingg the
knot on the left may or may not
break the neck the knot adjusted
under the right part of the chin, at
the point of the jaw, is invariably
certain to produce immediate uncon-
seriousness through the same process
as the boxers knockout" blow on
the point of the jaw.
This method has never been tried
in Georgia or anywhere else in the
South so far as is known in the Full
ton county sheriff's office.
A full investigation of the scien-
tific accuracy of the statements will
be made, and if they prove true the
new method will probably be adopt
ed.

JUDGE WITH FEET ON RAILING
Great Contrast to the HifaIuting
Ways of His Honor, Judge
Emory Speer.

MACON, Calf could only get
picture of that and show it to
Judge Speer some time, remarked
lawyer in the United States court
here today while Judge w. 1. Grubb
of Birmingham, judge of the north
ern district of Alabama, was presid-
ing in the stead of Judge Speer.
The reference was made to Judge
Grub sitting with his feet perched
comfortably upon the back facing OF
the bench as the session of the court
was drawing to a fine and tedious
climax. 1t was something to cause
comment from many of the old-time
attorneys.
In fact, Judge Grubb's whole de-
meanor on the bench has been in
such strange contrast to that usually
seen in the United States court when
Judge Speer presides that the law
yers have talked of this often in
court and out.

WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED BY LIFE IN CITIES

and East South Central-the females
outnumber the males.
The fact that females are relative
ly more numerous in urban than in
rural communities throughout the
United States exists despite the fact
that foreign-born whites-a class in
which, as previously noted, males
are in majority-are largely con-
centrated in cities. The relative ex-
cess of females in the larger cities
is generally attributed at least in
part to the fact that the city as COM
pared with the country affords more
opportunities for women to find en-
ployment with a corresponding great
err demand for female labor.
Figures on Cities.
OF the so cities having over 1907,
600 population there are % in which
the males outnumber the females.
In 80 of the cities the proportion of
males was greater in 1910 than in
1900, and in II it was less. The
number of males per 100 females was
greatest in Seattle (136.2). and only
slightly less in Portland, Ore. (194.-
50. Nashville shows the smallest
proportion of males, with a ratio of
1915 to 100 females. Of the 8 cit
les having 100000 or more inhabi-
tants Baltimore has the lowest num-
Der of males per 100 females, 92.4,
and Cleveland the highest, 1866, but
the ratio is almost as high in Chi
cago, where there are 1868 males
IN 100 females. New York city's
population is almost evenly divided
by sex; in Philadelphia the females
outnumber the males.

CHICAGO.-Ch icago's South Side
"levee,' for 40 years brightly light
ed, crowded quarter in the heart of
the city, tonight was dark and de-
serted for the first time since the fire
of 1872.
The "levee" was populated, ac-
cording to statistics collected by the
vice commission, with 1000 citizens,
1900 of whom are women of the
class against which the city and fed
eral legal campaign is being waged,
Cowed by numerous arrests during
the last three days and dreading
those threatened by city detectives
and United States marsnals. who are
working together, the keepers of re-
sorts today decided to spread the so
cial pariahs through the city.
States Attorney Wayman declared
he would blot the "levee" out of ex-
istence before December LIST. Dive
keepers today decided that Wayman
meant it. They turned their inmates
into the street and ordered them to
seek lodgings in other parts of town.
They closed their houses and dance
halls and fed, some to the west and
nOrthside tenderloins, some to other
cities and many to resi6 entail quar-
ters.
Throng Boulevard.
The homeless, friendless inmates
of the resorts to the number of near
ly 1900 poured out into Michigan
boulevard, U.le main artery of COM
munication north and south, and
thoroughfare for the fashionable pa
rades of automobiles every day.
1t is stated many women have been
ordered by resort keepers to dress
themselves in their gaudiest dresses,
to paint their faces with extra brill
fancy and go out and find other
places to live ''for the present, at
least
1t was intended that the exodus
should be a demonstration of what it
would mean to the city to have the
segregated vice area broken up and
the inhabitants driven to mingle
with the rest of the population.
Some Weep, Some Laugh.
The gaudy women left the tender
loin in bevies, passing the procession
of motor cars filled with women and
children from the residential sections
of the city, and mingling with the
well-dressed strollers along Auto
mobile Row"
There were tottering cid hays and
many weeping young girls in the he
gira. Some were weeping, some
laughing, some the worse for liquor,
others hrazen.
Late tonight most of them had
found shelter. Many of the frequent
ers of the underworld live in flats
away from the "levee'' districts and
these gave temporary homes to the
outcasts.
One Of the chief arguments against
the ''levee" has been that it occu-
pies one of the most desirable sec
lions of Chicago, near the old-time
aristocratic neighborho9d, in which
are the homes of Chicago's founders.

WILL SUSTAIN GOVERNOR
RAILROAD COMMISSION TO TAKE
SAME VIEW MILEAGE PULL,
Is Relieved Attack ON Brown Was
Due to His Alleged Aspirations
for United States Senate.

ATLANTA.-While it will unques-
tionably be some days following the
lengthy hearing just held before the
railroad commission announces any
conclusion on the proposal to require
the railroads to pull mileage on their
trains the consensus of opinion
ameng those who have watched the
proceedings is that the commission
will not issue an order making this
requirement.
This view is held even by some
of the travelling men themselves,
whose organizations filed the petition
and have been urging it for all they
are worth. Although the travelling
men feel that they ought to have
this concession made them as a mat
ter of convenience they are beginning
to realize, some of them, that it is a
position which will hardly hold in
law and are scarcely expecting the
commission to attempt to put the re-
quirement upon the roads.
However, it is possible, judging
from the way some of the railroad
officials who are attending the hear
ing talked that the agitation of the
matter may lead to an adjustment
which will help the situation.
May Be Adjustment.
The railroad officials appear will
ing to put on additional help wher-
ever there is need for it to facilitate
the exchange of mileage for tickets.
At best, according to the testimony
before the commission, it does not
seem to take very long now to effect
the exchange. Ticket agents testi-
fed that it required from 30 to so
seconds; the travelling men them
selves contended that it took twice
that long in most instances; in only
the Atlanta Terminal, they said, had
they ever been able to effect an ex-
change in as little as 80 seconds.
The railroads appear willing to go
to the extent of putting on an extra
ticket man to effect the exchange
more speedily at those points where
conditions demand it, but they feel
that they cannot in justice to their
companies go back to the old plan of
accepting interchangeable mileage on
Tu61T JFdIuSs
To Sustain Governor.
The action of the commission will,
it is believed, sustain the position
taken by Governor Brown when he
vetoed the bill passed last summer
by the legislature requiring the rail-
roads to pull" mileage. This Dill,
it has been pointed out, was consid-
erably more drastic than the measure
which the travelling men would now
like to secure from the commission.
The fight upon Governor Brown
because of his veto of this bill, 1t is
well known, proceeded from purely
political motives The fact is, in fol-
lowing the law Governor Brown did
exactly what his political opponents
wanted him to do, as it gave them
an opportunity to "whack'' him.
According to current gossip Gov
ernor Browns alleged senatorial as
pirations are believed to have mad
something to do with this attack.
