Ignoring the city administration, the
Socialist solicitor and sheriff proceeded

PARK PRESIDENT
REPLIES OCH|EF

j. o. Cochran, president of the At
ANITA park board, today issued a repl
to the statement of Police Chief Beav
srs yesterday. He said:
The statement made by Chief
Beavers that l have been plotting
his downfall or that l have at
tempted to place him in a false
light before the public. or that l
have attempted to trap him, is so
ridiculous and childish that 1t is
pitiful for a man who holds such
an exalted Office to suffer from such
decisions.
It's a pity our brave police boss"
gets so angry when any one crit-
cises him. What's the matter with
our Mad Mullah, anyhow?
He Is evidently laboring under
the hallucination that he Is a mod
ern Atlas, on whose shoulders rests
the morals of every Atlanta citizen.
If he keeps on it will soon be neces-
sary to get a permit from him to
breathe.
why ITO SIlIICISSu SC&NGtSs
AS a matter of fact, 1 did not
criticise him until he had given out
several interviews saying what he
favored and what he did not favor
in the city parks.
After he had said how children
should play ball in the parks on
Sunday and specified the age and
size Of the children, l thought 1t
necessary to let him know that the
park board had control Of that, and
not him. l did not give out any in
terview on the subject nor even
mention 1t to any of the reporters
until after he had rushed into print
I was astounded to read in Satur-
day mornings paper a statement
from him outlining his views on
Sunday baseball, but attributed it to
his inordinate craze for publicity
and his desire to impose his views
on trembling public.
Says Chief Modified Views.
Evidently what he said to the re-
porter didn't look good in print, for
he modified his views in the after
noon papers by saying that he was
Sunday, but was perfectly willing
for children to play ball in the
parks"
When l asked the question,
What has the chief got to do with
the parks?'' and suggested that he
attend to his own affairs, he flies
into paroxysms Of rage and goes
believing around like the bull of
Bashan, denouncing everybody as
tricky politicians plotting his down
fall.
II our brave Mad Mullah could
catch real" criminals as easily as
he can scent political plot against
him there would be less crime in
the community.
Now, my brave hero, just talk as
much as you please. If 1t gives
you any pleasure, far be it from me
TO stop you.
If have been guilty of lese ma
jeste in criticising our boss, hum
bly, apologize.

on the quality of the garbage and other
contingencies that 1t is not always
practical"
Mayor Bading told of the fight IN
milwaukee, against the smoke nuisance,
saying they had found 1t very difficult
problem.
we have reduced smoke. but our
city is so largely a manufacturing cen
ter that we have been confronted with
unusual difficulties" he said
Atlanta Surprises Them.
Both Mayor Bading and Commission
er Simmons marveled at construction
work in progress in Atlanta They re-
marked not only upon the rising office
buildings and private construction. but
also on the city's operations, such as
the garbage disposal system, the water
works plant and the crematory.
Atlanta has all the life and progress
Of our most typically modern American
cities" said Mayor Bading
The officials watched council con-
slider charter reform plans yesterday.
Mayor Bading said that his city also
was incumbered with an out-of-date
charter But he has the appointment
Of all heads of departments except the
chief of police and he appoints the
commission which elects the chief. The
terms of the commissioners expire at
different dates, though. so that a new
mayor can not change the whole per-
sonnet of the commission. He said he
was opposed to large councils and the
ward system,
Alderman A. H. VanDyke shook
hands with Mayor Bading and congrat-
ulated him on his defeat Of the awful"
Socialists. Immediately Mayor Bading
dropped his quiet conversational mien
and said with rising infection that
displayed feeling:
They are the worst menace in this
country. We beat them by $1,000 ma
tor1ty."
