The adoption of the initia-
tive, referendum and recall
amendment gives the people of
Atlanta an opportunity to settle
directly the issue of a tight or
open town police policy in an
election on the recall of Chief
Beavers, " he said.
Mr. Chambers introduced similar
amendment in Council several years
ago, but IL was defeated. He said he
was glad it was adopted Wednesday,
for he believed in it because it gave
the people the right to settle various
complicated municipal issues.
There has been more than one
laugh over the curious result of the
special election. Mayor Woodward
alone raised his voice in protest
against the adoption of the document.
He charged that the claim that 1t was
a reform was fake, and though he
never referred to the initiative, refer
endum and recall and the reduction of
the Recorders power provisions, it
was generally believed that he want
ed the people to vote against all
changes submitted in the election.
Charter Advocates Dazed.
The surprising result was that the
program of the majority party in
Council, the arch opponents of May
or Woodward, was repudiated But
out of it came the most significant
political reform Atlanta has had in
years-the adoption of the initiative,
referendum and recall.
Mayor Woodward, with the "open
Gown" element, is glad that it is so,
.hough his activities before the cleo
ZION was calculated to prevent just
such a condition. The new charter
advocates against whom Mayor
Woodward charged a conspiracy to
block reforms are amazed.
The Men and Religion Forward
Movement which organization took
no part in the campaign, seemingly
believing that Chief Beavers was Sc
cure from any harm, faces a situa
ton that Will give it serious cause for
study.
Before this election Chief Beavers
was secure, Though sinister doubt
has been cast time and again on the
Of the support of him by the
Police Commission, the Commission
had demonstrated more than once
that it intended to continue to stand
by him. There was no way out for

Council They were forced to stand
by and support Chief Beavers, mega
lively If not positively. For, as May
or Woodward expressed it:
Way Now Open for Attack.
You can't fire man for enforcing
the law"
That, coupled with alleged lack of
discretion, has been the most serious
charge that has been made against
Chief Beavers-enforcing the law.

of A. G. S, Express,

TUSCALOOSA, ALA, Sept. GO
Posses of sheriffs, deputies and rail-
road and express detectives to-day
have been unable to get a trace Of the
three masked bandits who at o'clock
this morning held up and robbed
New Orleans express train No. I at
Bibbville Siding, 80 miles South %
Birmingham. and got away with loot
estimated at $4,000.
Deputy Sheriff James Bonner, Of
Birmingham, was shot and killed by
a Montgomery deputy, when, in the
weeds near here, he was mistaken
for one Of the bandits
Two mere boys and a man of dare
devil type" halted the train and rout-
ed the express messenger and mail
clerks. The bandits stole the front
section of the train, and after a wild
run of 80 miles. blew open the safe
and made their escape with their Loot.
Within 80 minutes after the rob-
berry two trainloads of officers were
in hot pursuit in special trains.
Sheriff Fires Into Engine.
As the runaway engine. with ex-
press, baggage and mail car attached,
passed through Tuscaloosa at the rate
of so miles an hour Sheriff Palmer,
who had been notified from Wood
stock of the robbery and was sta
toned on the depot platform, opened
fire on the bandit seated at the throt-
tie, and a fusillade was returned.
A general alarm was sent out, and
this morning a posse of 100 officers
and farmers. all armed. began scour-
ing the swamps and woods on both
sides of the railroad near this city.
A special train from Montgomery.
carrying officers and bloodhounds,
reached the scene exactly two hours
after the report had been made to
Sheriff Horace Hood.
The express train was stopped by
a block signal thrown to red. As
soon as Engineer r. w Daniels saw
the danger signal he reversed power
and stopped the train only to be con-
fronted with a brace of revolvers in
the hands of an 1S-year- old boy.
Daniels was forced TO leave the train
with his fireman. Z. l.. Poole, the
express messenger, was eating his
lunch when a man and boy entered
his car. Although they had masks
over their faces the messenger coolly
said to them. Go away from here or
will throw this hot coffee on you"
As he made a motion to carry out
his threat a bullet famed his cheek
SO closely that he fell to the floor
under the impression that he had
been shot
Six mail clerks were made To leave
their car and stand on the right-of-
way with their hands up. Then the
bandits forced the porter to cut the
express. mail and baggage cars and
engine from the coaches and sleep
ers, and pulled away with the bandit
