VICE PROBE THROWS LIGHT ON
ATLANTA POLITICAL WRANGLE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 21.-Atlanta's
vice probe has ended and there will he
no indictments growing out of it, ac-
cording to member of the grand jury,
but the disclosures made by the main
witnesses go a long way to show not
only that disorderly houses exist in
prominent parts of the city, but that
the police, or some of them, are either
extremely blind or open to argument
in some form.
May Warren, witness before the
grand jury and woman of a long po-
lice record, declared yesterday before
the jury that many women would have
been present to testify to police pers3-
cution had they not been intimidat-
ed, and that members of the police
force astually were stationed before
these women's houses to see that they
did not appear. AS soon as the woman
completed her testimony the police arr
rested her for appearing upon the
streets at night, under an old ordi-
nance now seldom observed, and she
was fined $15.75 by Recorder Broyles.
The Warren woman declared the
jury could not name street in which
she could not point out house of I'M
savory reputation. She said the plain
clothes men knew these places well, Of
ten frequented them and made arrests
of their favorites only when pressure
compiled them to do, so.

Eounced this afternoon that the report
ed revolutionary outbreak in Bragan-

has been suppressed by the military
authorities, and that quiet now reigns

The outbreak, which was instigated
by Adriano Beca, formerly a colonel
in the Portuguese army, was of small
moment and was suppressed with little
effort upon the part of the authori-
ties.
Beca, who was placed under military
arrest, charged with high treason, is
being conveyed here and will be court

AS a successful pursuer of the elus-
i've marsupial Herschel Argo, the man
behind the diamond at the Hotel Win
dsor, ranks as past master, and when
night or two ago he invited a num-
Der of young ladies to join the exciting
chase an affirmative answer came in
sweet unaminity. And the possums,
anxious to be taken by such beauteous
invaders of Muckalee swamp, fairly got
in each others way in their effort to
be made captives. Eight fine fat fell
lows were thus bagged and the exhub-
Grant hunters we're about to start for
home when old Rock and Ranger
"treed" again. Unhesitatingly the
gallant host of the hunting party shin
ned up the persimmon tree and reac l.
ed out for the covering little animal
on far limb. But he didn't touch him,
not bit of it. Mr.. Argo walked home
fifty yards behind the fair Danes, but
they had every reason in the world to
know that he was still there, even
though they could not see him in the
darkness. The hunt netted eight pos
sums and one laundry bill.

and Illinois arrived from Gibraltar to-
day and anchored in the Thames of
Gravesend, where they will remain
about week On board is large
party OF cadets from the naval acad
envy at Annapolis, who have been
making their annual cruise.
! Captain William F. F'ullam, su.
lIerintendent Of the naval academy,
who commands the practice squadron,
found sheaf of invitations awaiting
him, his officers and the cadets. They
came from British naval men and
from various American societies in
London who have arranged many en-
tertainments for the American visit
ors.
The officers Of the American bat
tleships will reciprocate by throwing
the vessels open to visitors. On July
20 the American officers will partici-
pate in the dedication to Pocahontas
IN St Georges church, Gravesend, OF
two memorial windows which Ambas-
sador Walter H. Page will formally
present on behalf of the Danes OF
Virginia.
"Oficial calls were paid to the bat
tleship Missouri by the mayor and
commander of the troops at Grave
send, and these were promptly re-
surned by Captain F-ullam. General
leave has been granted to the officers
of the war vessels as well as to the
mfdshipmen who will thus be able to
visit various parts OF the British Isles
and the continent during their two
weeks stay. The absence Of many OF
the cadets will somewhat interfere
with the numerous entertainments ar
ranged in their honor"
