.ATLANTA'S VICE
TO Be REVEALED
Girl of TendGrlOin Promises
to Expose Conditions

Atlanta, Ga, July 8.-Deciding TO
begin life anew, Hattie Smith, a IL
year-old girl, who for nine months has
walked the streets of Atlanta, told
Chief of Police Beavers a sensational
story of vice conditions in this city.
In her narrative she wove the efforts
of women procurers, of downtown ho-
tells fostering vice and of business men
profiting thereby. She named two
downtown hotels which, she said, had
encouraged her in her traffic; gave the
police the address of the woman who
was responsible for the life she had
been leading and also the name of q
business man who had often visited the
procuress.
The chief has started an investiga-
ton and declares that he believes the
story of the girl and will make arrests
as soon as the necessary evidence can
be secured.
The police last night raided house
on Boulevard and arrested there two
women and two men. One man was
fined and the other man and the two
women were bound over.
The recent police scandal, in which
eight officers were suspended for visit
ing a resort on Auburn avenue and
drinking there, and ninth suspension
on Saturday for alleged rough treat
ment to a young man in the Bijou thea
tre will be probcd by the police board
tomorrow night.

covered a new way of getting his hair
clipped. He appeared about his usual
haunts yesterday with one-half OF
his head neatly shorn Of hair. He
says that the mice did it. A we'll

Santa Barbara Island is inhosplta-

drop of fresh water For this reason
fishing parties take a good supply y
liquid refreshment.
Usually fishermen sleep on their
boats on account of the mice. How
ever, the fisherman in the party Of
Williams said he would sleep on
shore.
This fisherman had earned the
sobriquet of Dude" owing to his habit
of oiling his hair. 1t was this oil that
caused the involuntary haircut, for
the fishermen say that during the
Dudes" hours of slumber the mice
visited him and neatly cut the mar
