$4,000 Salary Held
Too Small for State
official in Atlanta


Two thousand dollars is not sutfi-
cient for a man and his family to live
on in Atlanta in accordance with the
dignity of a Statehouse official" said
Representative Ed Wohlwender in the
House Monday morning He was
speaking in favor of House Bill No.
II which provides for the increase in
the salary of members of the Prison
Board from $4,000 to $4,000 year
The bill met defeat by a vote of Ill
to 3S, despite the earnest pleas of
Representatives Wohlwender, Vim
berly and Slater.
"The salary paid these men is en-
tirely out Of line with the RESPONSE
biIity, amount Of service and caliber
of the men required for the place"
continued Mr.. Wohlwender. There
is no graft in our Prison Board, but
let us place them like Caesars wife
above suspicion. We have Alabama s
example to go by. We know of how
thousands of dollars were misappro
priated by men on small salaries. We
want big men to pass on pardon ap-
plications Make this possible by pay
ing a reasonable salary"

L CAUGHT IN
VICE DRAG
FINED
Five White Men and Dozen Ne
groes Arrested in Raid Are
Convicted in Court.

The police crusade against vice re-
suited Monday afternoon in the con-
viction and filming of five white men
and twelve negroes who were caught
in a raid on a negro dive at rs Chest
nut avenue early Sunday morning.
Judge Broyles sharply scored the
existence of such alleged dives, and
declared every effort must be put
forth to close them. Chief Beavers
has ordered the house closed imme-
diately
The trial created a stir in police
court, as eight of the negroes were
chauffeurs for some Of the most
prominent men in Atlanta, who were
on hand to make bond for them.
The white men. who were fined
S15.75 each, are c. F. Smith, clerk, of
"a Angler avenue; S. B. Moore, clerk.
of 1871 South Pryor street; A. B. Ar
mold, of Macon; ]. w. Little. of Ma
con, and C. D. Kirk, of 34s North
Jackson street.
Eight Of the negro men were fined
s10.75 each.
Ellene Lester, who, it is alleged
runs the place; Henry Lester, her
husband, and Theresa Gilbert and
Minnie Jones, two other negro wom-
en- implicated, were bound over to
the Superior Court under $500 bond
each.
rH. General Order Issued.
AS a result of a sensational story
told in police court Monday morning
by Efie Drummond, 20-year- old
country girl. who was arrested Sat
urday when the police raided the
boarding house Of Mrs. Lulu Bell, at
Fair and Peters streets, Chief Beav-
ers at noon issued a general order
for the arrest of Joe North, named
by the Drummond girl as a white
SLAYER"
The girl charges that North, after
he had promised to marry her, lured
her to the Bell woman's place, and
after giving her liquor until she was
stupefied, forced her into the COM
partnership of men whom he and the
Bell woman had brought to the place.
Chief Beavers thinks the testimony
of the Drummond girl forms an i'm
portant link in the chain of evidence
he is weaving around members Of
the vice ring said to exist in At
lanta.
The testimony of the girl indicates,
the police believe. that North merely
was the agent of men higher up, and
that he acted on their instructions
in Turing the Drummond girl, and
possibly others, to the Bell womans
place.
Tells All to Court.
The Chief has announced that ev-
cry phase of the girls story will be
investigated thoroughly. Some of the
things she has told dovetail into

gone into the merits Of the case and
called upon Solicitor General Hugh

be disqualified because his law firm
was interested, and the court was
unable to find an attorney to act as
Solicitor Pro Tenn who had not been
interested in 1t during the last four
years.

The case would have been post
poned until Wednesday had not the
attorneys reached an agreement in

ford, and later returned with an or
der for her release.

The farmers in this country who have gone
into the habit of growing sugar beets are facing
a menace at the moment that threatens their in
dustry and also competition of all farm products
with foreign free trade.
Those who at the last election voted for free
trade tariff have something now to think of.
Michigan farmers well those in all the
border states opposed Taft because he favored re-
ciprocity with Canada. Well, Woodrow Wilson,
incoming President, has declared for absolute free
he calls them. Consider the free entry of ali farm
and Canada in turn. which has rejected reciproc,
ity imposing tariff nearly all American pro-
ducts. Fine prospect, isn't 1t?

hurried to give it out he will call extra session
early in the spring to revise the tariff downward
to a basis of 1S93!97 II the same policies work
out under the new administration they did in

Kune and l.. N. Harmon were ap
pointed last night by the local or.

Interests are working to amend
the bill when 1t comes before the
house to divert the route through
| Castle Dale and the Salina canyon,
a route which would make the trail
rs miles longer and not be in &C.
cordance with the route designated
by Pathfinder Westgard last Novem.
Der. He favored the Price river can.
yon and said that 1t was feasible. An
amendment to the bill will make II

ton.
Eventually when state roads are
built in various parts Of the coun.
try, travellers may desire to take diff.
ferent routes to suit their fancy but
the present route Is the shortest and
most feasible. Mr.. Westgard has
signifed his desire for the Price riv.
er route and any change, 1t is said
will cause dissatisfaction.

leave indianapolis, July 8, for the
Pacific coast will make the pioneer

Colorado Is the keystone of the

and not without some success, In New Jersey
'f At the instance of DR.. Wilson, seven antitrust
bills Of which he the author, were introduced
several weeks ago in the Legislature OF 'ew Jer'
sey they were instantly hailed as indicating the
trust policy he would pursue upon entering the lar
ger field of national affairs. These measures would
rid New Jersey of the disgrace OF being the happy
hunting ground OF the predatory trusts, the state
of refuge to which they could fly when hard press
ed elsewhere. ...-
Combinations Of capital that had no other OBJ
ject and intent than the elimination OF competition
and the restraint Of trade were always able to get
a charter under the liberal laws of Jersey; II Salt
Lake, for instance, licensed thieves to prey upon
it's own citizens and those Of surrounding communi
ties, gave them legal standing and protection, the
situation would be identically similar to that which
has prevailed in New Jersey regards the trusts
Dr. Wilson's proposed laws would correct this con.
diton.
Although he deserves credit for his attitude,
II must be remembered that the Presdentelect is
the executive not the legislature Of New Jersey,
and that the same conditions that he now seeks
to correct have existed ever since he became Gov
ernor without any prior effort his part to re-
move them. There seems to be no organized OPP
position to the suggested statutes but Dr. Wilson
insists that he have the honor of approving them
as governor before he resigns to go to Washington
Consequently, when the House and Senate adopt
ed point resolution to adjourn over Lincolns
birthday, he sent them word through his secretary
that they should remain in session and they ODE
dienty did SO. As boss. DR., Wilson is not with
out his good points.
Discovery of this side to the President.
elects character renders assurance doubly sure
that Washington will be most entertaining place
during the earlier months OF his term. The greed
for Office displayed by his party, the ruthless way
in which It Ia seeking to tramp its platform pledg
es into the dust. the thorough and wholesale man.
ner in which 1t is proving its opinions most sub
jects to be remarkably diverse from those Dr. Viii
son is supposed hold, indicate that the big stick
will once be a popular weapon at the White
House. 1t Is almost worth while to have Demo
cratic President In Washington to observe the en-.
thusiasm with which he and his party will proceed
to remove any chances Of success they might have
had in the future.
