CITIZENS INSIST
ON DEEP VICE
INQUIRY
Grand Jury to Go Into Charge
Again tuesday, Taking Up
Dictograph Records.

1t was practically certain Satur-
day the Grand Jury had determined
to investigate the vice and dicto-
graph charges when it met again
Tuesday.
Foreman L. H. Beck Saturday
morning said every mail brought him
numerous communications touching
on some phase of the vice or dicto-
graph question, and that every one
urged a thorough investigation. He
said if the routine cases could be dis
posed of, or put aside, the probe
would begin in earnest next week.
We would have taken this matter
up long ago had it not been for the
criminal cases presented by the So
licitor," said Mr.. Beck When we
meet. and the witnesses in the
cases have been summoned it
would be unjust not to dis
pose of the cases and let them
go. If the calendar is light next week
in all probability we will go into the
general investigation"
While names Of witnesses have
been furnished in anonymous COM
munications, almost every person
who has testified before the Grand
Jury in its investigation thus far has
furnished the names Of persons who
would testify to substantiate one or
the other side in the controversy.
Some of the witnesses say they can
tell of the existence of wholesale vice,
while others state the conditions are
better in Atlanta than they have ever
been.
Colonel Thomas B. Fielder, Mayor
James G. Woodward, Chief of Police
James l.. Beavers and Detective Chief
Newport Lanford have each regis
tered a request with the Grand Jury
that the photograph Incident and the
counter charges of vice be investi-
gated

After Mr. Wilson's address in the

tunity of saying to him: The people
OF Michigan interested in the beet
sugar industry stood ready to invest
millions Of dollars more in this in
dustry, but before doing so wanted
his reinsurance toward this legiti-
mate industry
you Need Not Fear Me-"
His reply to this question, which
was in a forceful and emphatic man
ner, was: You need not be one bit
dltA Vi me SIT
Il don't believe that Mr. Wilson will
take any steps that will annihilate or
retard legitimate industry as ours
is. He impressed me with his ear
nestness in thls.".
Mr.. Hathaway testified that since
the free sugar bill had been offered
the preferred stock of his company
had declined from par to 80. and the
common from 80 to 80, with no pur-
chasers,
Senator Nelson, who insisted that
the letter be read, said that he merely
wanted TO show that the sugar in
terests had been led to believe that
they had nothing to fear before the
bill was drafted

way OF showing his gratitude to the
Doctor than by offering what he
considered the finest present"
Many correspondents testified that
dogs were in the habit Of making
presents to one another as well as
TO people. Doctor Boucher, French
surgeon on service in Africa, said:
81 had a dog of the Moorish breed
known as the Slough and fine
Arab mare. These two animals de-
velOped a remarkable affection for
one another. The horse, with her
large bulk, furnished the dog with
a warm place and shelter against
the wind and weather In return
he used to bring the horse pieces of
sugar, vegetables and other delica-
cies which he purloined about the

dog would fail to recognize his

Felix Robert, of Montzeron, wrote:
"One evening l came home from
hunting soaked to the skin and COW
cred with mud. / took off my hunt
ing boots and asked my mother to
pass me my slippers, which she did
at once. My dog Dick watched all
this with close interest. The next
day | came home from work soaked
and spattered as on the day before.
To my great establishment, Dick
brought me my two slippers, one af-
Ter the other, and put them at my

NJ. Ourgaud, of Labrit, related that
he had seen his dog Medor commit
suicide:
"Medor had been cruelty wounded
in the stomach by shot from some
brutal countryman. He dragged
himself as far as our house and
stretched himself on the lawn. Gan
creme was affecting the wound and
we thought we ought to kill him 10
put him out of his suffering, but -
one had the courage to do it.
Toward evening he made a gre
effort and dragged himself to me ca
his paws and laid his blood-stained
mouth on my foot and licked It gen
thy. Then he raised himself up and
continually grooming dragged him
self to the river, which ran past the
edge of the garden. When he had
reached the bank, which IS very
steep at this point, he turned to me
for the second time and gave me
an almost human look. Then with
another effort he threw himself from
the bank into the river, and soon
sank beneath the hurrying waters"
NJ. Hachet-Souplet, director of teh
Institute of Animal Psychology ex-
pressed himself thus about the dog:
There is an enormous difference
in the intelligence of individual
dogs. My dog Prince was able to
learn in forty days what other dogs
required four or five months to
learn. He displayed an intelligence
worthy of a chimpanzee while show
ing good will which no ape would
ever possess. He walks backwards
on his hind legs, walks upright, uses
parallel bars, dances on a tight-rope
and does other clever tricks"
