Henack answered them with a
string of filthy curses.
Walker, the motorman, caught
Henack's horse and dragged it over
to Policeman Patrick H. Keefe.
Walker demanded that Keefe arrest
Henack.
Henack turned upon the police
man and cursed him as he had cursed
Walker.

shoulders.

SOCIAL WORKERS IN
ATLANTA; ORGANIZE
SOCIETY AT MEETING

Atlanta today has an organized band
OF social workers. The combination
was effected last night at a meeting
of social workers in Carnegie library,
who. after adopting the name '"The
Atlanta Social Service club" elected
the following officers: W w. TindalL
president; Miss Daisy Eckert, vice
president; Fl. j. Heyman, secretary, and
an executive committee composed of
the officers and Miss Appleyard, SUI
perintendent OF the Martha home; Miss
Lottie Pennespeck and Philip Weitner,
secretary of the prison association.
Sentiment for such an organization
crystaliized in an address by W. Woods
White, who said:
There is nothing this city needs sc
much as an organization which will
bring the social workers in frequent
touch with one another. Experts here
in that line have never made a col
lective showing, yet such a showing is
vital to the highest development Of the
city's philanthropies'
J. E. Mccullough secretary OF the
sociological congress, addressed the
meeting, outlining the Southern social
agencies.

He is the latest oil corner king. And
he lives right here in Atlanta. At least,

RACE SEPARATION
IN OPULARFAVOR
Councilman AshIey's Proposal
Observation-Disclosures Ready
for Monday.

Councilman Claude L. Ashley's pro-
posal to segregate the white and negro
races in Atlanta has aroused strong
support, especially in the eastern sec
ton OF the city, where there are no
definite lines of demarcation and nu-
merous efforts to separate the races
have proved futile.
While former similar movements
have been abandoned because Of oppo-
sition from negroes who pleaded that
such a plan would inspire race preju-
dice, and from property owners who ar
gued pecuniary damage, Councilman
Ashley declared today he would force
the Issue to point because Of the sue
cess of like ordinances in Baltimore
and Richmond
The supreme court OF Maryland has
held the Baltimore law to be consti-
tutonal. Councilman Ashley said 1t
did not interfere with constitutional
rights any more than the Jim Crow"
laws governing public utilities.
Charles P. Glover, president OF the
Atlanta Real Estate Exchange, said he
would not speak officially, but that he
personally thought it was a good move
and that such a law would increase
realty values in both white and negro
sections.
Councilman Ashley has already re-
ceived pledges OF support from a num-
Der of councilman. He will present his
ordinance Monday, providing that a
majority Of the residents in any city
block shall determine whether that
block shall be inhabited exclusively by
white people or negroes by petitioning
the building inspector. Servant houses
in the rear of residences are excepted.
