BEAVERS STARTS
WAR AGAINST
CAB MEN
Chief Hears Drivers Are Working
in League With Robbers and
Resort Keepers.

Chief Of Police Beavers declared
Wednesday that one Of the most i'm
portant Crusades I'm the vice war his
department is waging would be
against the Cabmen some Of whom. ne
is Informed, make a practice Of act
ing as agents for immoral resorts.
Detectives have found evidence that
since the wiping out Of the restricted
district the proprietors Of the disor
derby houses have established them
selves secretly In various parts OF the
city and formed agreements with the
cabmen to direct and convey patrons
to their new locations
Reports to the police department
are to the effect that this practice is
widespread and that many OF the cab
men are involved.
Chief Orders Inquiry.
Many of the questionable places in
Atlanta are said to rely almost entire
ly upon the cooperation of the driv
ers.
Chief Beavers has ordered a thor
ough investigation by his department
and has announced that cabmen found
guilty would be vigorously prosecuted
and deprived of their permits. The
investigation will be conducted in con-
nection with the campaign against cab
lines which are said to have a we'll
organized system for the perpetra-
ton Of other criminal acts
Complaints have been coming into
police headquarters for several weeks
that passengers in cabs have been
driven to outlying parts of the city
and there held up and robbed The
latest instance came Tuesday night
when ] l.. Ivy and w A. Fowler. VINO
live near Atlanta. engaged a cab to
take them to the Terminal station.
Cab Occupants Robbed.
The Cabman took them to the Pc
ters street viaduct; there they were
halted and robbed of s21. according to
their story to the police. Ivy and
Fowler said the driver protected the
robbers and assisted I'm driving his
two patrons away after their money
had been taken.
Another case reported to headquar-
ters was Of a woman who engaged a
cab to be driven from the Terminal
station to the Union station She dis
covered she was being taken out Of
her way and threatened the negro
driver with arrest if he did not drive
her at once to her destination. She
barely had time to catch her train,
and so at the time was unable to re-
port the case to the police and assist
in the prosecution of the driver.
Since the investigation started 1t
has been found that most OF the hacks
that have figured In the hold-ups are
not registered at headquarters.

FAIL
To FIND LUMP
IN NEW YORK
Attorney James Directs Search for
Barber Wanted in Crawford
Case Go on at Any Cost.

Detectives searching New York for
Fred Lump, the Bohemian, wanted in
Atlanta on warrant charging him
with plotting with Mrs. Mary B.
Crawford to murder her husband,
Joshua B. Crawford, telegraphed to
]. S James, the attorney who swore
out the warrant, Wednesday morn
ing that the man had disappeared
from New York.
Attorney James forwarded the war
rant to the chief of detectives office
at New York and telegraphed in
structions to have the detectives take
up the trail and bring the man to At
lanta regardless of expense.
Sensation Is Promised.
A sensation is promised if Lump
appears for trial, as the plaintiff will
charge, according to Colonel James
that the plan was for Mrs. Crawford
to marry Crawford, do away with
him and then with the money marry
the barber. Lump, it is claimed,
agreed to the plan.
"A few weeks ago we had q
York" said Colonel James, 'in which
he admitted that he was in Atlanta
at the time of Crawford's death.
Likewise we have eyewitnesses a }
prove that he remained in this city
two months after the funeral Of
Crawford. In the deposition he said
he stopped at a hotel on the south
side of Marietta street opposite the
City Hall, but as everyone knows
there is no such hotel there.
Now we believe that Lump came
to this city with Mrs. Crawford and
we think we can prove that he was
with Crawford at the time Of the lat
ter's death"
Coercion Is Suggested.
Colonel James said he has wit
nesses who say Lump and Mrs.
Crawford were sweethearts and that
Lump had gone to st. Augustine to
meet Mrs. Crawford before the lat
ter met Crawford.
One of these witnesses, Mrs. F. c.
Bursener, according to Colonel James,
says she frequently heard Mrs.
Crawford say Il will marry the old
turkey buzzar6 Crawford, get his
money, and then marry Lump"
Likewise it is claimed Mrs. Ger
trude A Painter will testify that
Mrs Crawford said after Crawford
was dead that she would marry
Lump and that Lump had consented
to the arrangement.
It is likely that the prosecution will
attempt to prove coercion was used
in bringing about the marriage OF
Crawford and the defendant.
P II. Brewster, at one time one
of the attorneys for the heirs in the
Crawford will case. was on the stand
all of the forenoon in the hearing now
in progress before the auditor. He
was called to testify to the legality of
Mrs. Crawford's marriage. He said
that while he was attorney for the
heirs he made a thorough investiga-
ton of Mrs Crawford's matrimonial
career and had found that her mar
riage to Crawford was entirely legal
and regular.
Mrs. Crawford is expected to take
the stand when the hearing is resumed
Thursday. She will be followed by
DIR. J. w, Hurt, who was physician
for Crawford.
