BROYEES RANKS
CAESAR BELOW
BEAVERS
Recorder Declares Crossing the
Rubicon Not in It With Clos
ing the Tenderloin.

In an address at the Inman Park
Presbyterian Church Thursday night,
Judge Nash Broyles declared that
Chief Beavers was a greater man than
Julius Caesar. The subject Of Judge
Broyles' address was Citizenship. 3"
Referring TO the closing Of the ten
derloin by Chief Beavers, he said:
The act of Chief Beavers in clos
ing the houses in our midst, without
the advice and approval of his asso-
ciates and superiors, was a drawer
and greater act than that Of Caesar
when he crossed the Rubicon and took
Rome.
Chief Also More Patriotic.
1T was a more patriotic act, for
when Caesar crossed the Rubicon. he
did so against the command Of the
Roman Senate, and thereby became
a lawbreaker. Chief Beavers. By his
act, became a defender of the law.
He placed his life in jeopardy and
he had 10 be a man of supreme moral
and physical courage TO go ahead
Referring to the recent crime wave
throughout the United States. Judge
Broyles attributed it to the lack of re-
spect for the law, caused 10y failure
to enforce it
South Is Chief Offender.
The laws are not properly enforced
in the United States. and especially in
the South The courts are held in
contempt, and punishment is seldom
melted out to evil doors. There is not
enough respect for the law In the
city Of London. with a population Of
100000 people, there were only 20
murders in the year 1912: in Birming-
ham. Ala. with only 10000 people
there were, in the same year, 800 muir
ders.
Records show that in Great Britain
and Canada, 50 per cent of the muir
derers are convicted, whereas in the
United States only 20 per cent are
convicted.
Calls England a Model
The laws are enforced speedily and
with certainty in Great Britain, and
until we follow the example Of our
mother country we need expect moth
ing but crime and criminals.
The day is speedily coming when

vents Police Interference,

It became known Friday that Chief
of Police James L. Beavers made the
startling charge before the vice in

courts OF the State of Georgia made
it impossible for him to close the

s. c. Glass, a member Of the Grand
Jury, who was not present at the
session Thursday when it was an
nounced the vice probe had been con-
cluded. said Friday that he. too, knew
of the existence Of the place and
would demand at the next session
that the tribunal go deeper into vice
conditions and take some decisive
action.
Mr.. Glass made the emphatic state
n1ent that conditions were worse
than they were before the restricted
district was closed and that it was
M 10 the Jury to do something TO
relieve the situation. He said the
Philadelphia ministers had not far
exaggerated the street evil: that the
respectable community was being en-
croached upon by houses OF i'll fame
and that women of questionable char
acter walked the streets Of Atlanta
daily brushing elbows with the VIE
and school girl
Resort Is in Spring Street.
The house in question is in Spring
Street. The place was raided several
months ago. Recorder Broyles or
dered the woman held for the City
Court and asked Chief Beavers TO
have her moved from that locality.
The woman's lawyers applied for and
secured an injunction from the Fulton

from moving her. The restraining or

house was still being operated in vio-
larion Of the law, but that he was

If found guilty, would pay fine and
