VICE WAR AF TER
SEEING MAYOR
Expresses Satisfaction Over
Conference, and Declares
Eight Just Begun"

Police Chief Beavers today was smil-
ing and strikingly optimistic, following
his lengthy conference yesterday with
Mayor Woodward, and declared that
the fight on vice in Atlanta has just
begun"
We've broken the backbone of the
vice trust, and ! intend to keep ham
mering on it until the fragments are
pulverized,' said the chief.
As to just what passed between him
and Mayor Woodward at the confer
ner. however, Indicated that he was
satisfied.
1t was when the chief was asked if
he would make any change in his pres
ent policy regarding vice that he made
his positive declaration that the war
viii continue without cessation and that
the vice trust will be annihilated"
In this connection Chief Beavers
hurled a def to any person to show that
Atlanta is not cleaner and better NOR
ally today than ever before in it's his
tory.
Atlanta is cleaner morally today
than it has ever been, and / defy any
one to produce evidence to the con-

To Build CrematoTy
And Take a Chance.

Following the order of the board of
health that work be resumed on the
new $4,000 crematory. DR.. w. L. GIL
bert, the retired president of the board
who has been the most active advocate
Of this plan OF garbage disposal, said
today that he believed the Destructor
Company would build the plant, wheth-
er the city met its payments at the ap-
pointed time or not.
George Spence. attorney for the De-
structor Company, declared that his
company would complete the crematory
and risk the city meeting its moral OBJ
legation.
Mayor Woodward agreed with the
board at its meeting that provisions
for payment of the excavation work
had been made in due form. Council
man Claude L. Ashleys point that the
work should not proceed any further
was, therefore, overruled.
Mayor Woodward reviewed his objec-
tions to the Destructor Company plant,
declaring that he never would sign
voucher for a payment on the contract
by which one council bound another to
an obligation unless ordered to do so by
the supreme court OF Georgia or vote
of the people of Atlanta
He said that while the board legally
could continue the excavation work, il
was a waste Of money.
When the board voted that the work
be continued he Numbered that he
would seek a permanent injunction 20
break the contract Such an injunction
absolutely would stop the work.
The matter now IS up to council and
may not again reach head until the
finance committee begins making up
the annual budget. There will be a
fight over whether S125O0O shall be
placed in the budget as this years pay
ment on the crematory. II council pro-
vides that the appropriation be made

NEGRO LAD ASSERTS

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Willie W. Wink
field, the negro summoned to appear
before the Clapp committee in Wash
ington to tell OF the Archibald let
ters," told government attaches here
that he was glad of the opportunity to
testify He said he took part in the
removal Of the letters from the Stand
ard OIL Offices, but says the plot was
not his Charles Stump and Billy Nor
rell, an Office boy in the Standard Oil
offices, were the originators of the
plot, he said. He admitted he received
money for the letters but would not
say how much.
THE report that we three got $34,-
600 is a joke" WINFIELD said.
WINFIELD said his connection with
the letters was partly accidental. He
caught Morrell and Charles Stump, ne
said, taking letter copybooks from the
files one day after Office hours.
This occurred in 1903 and 1904 he did
not remember which.
Morrel and Stump, WINFIELD de-
clared, were so startled when he con-
fronted them that they promised to
"let him in on the deal" IL he would
keep quiet
r A. DennisOn, Winkfield's attor-
ney, explained that the reason his client
accepted this proposition was that the
Standard Oil Company had refused TO
raise his salary. although he had
worked FOR it seven years.
