WILL URGE REFEAL
OF BANKRUPT LAW
GROVER c. EDMoNDsoN OPPOSES
LAW FROM BUSINESS
STANDPOINT.

Atlanta, Jan 1.-The repeal OF the
present national bankruptcy act will
be strongly advocated by Hon. Grover
{. Edmondson, of Brooks county, i'll
the event he finally dec!ues to run
for congress in the Eleventh district.
Mr.. Edmondson is already strongly
committed to the principal, and if ne
announces, as politicians here say he
is practically certain of doing, the re-
peal of that act will be a prominent
plank in his platform.
Mr.. Edmondson views tie bankrupt
cy act from the standpoint of the bust
ness men and merchants of the c0un-
try. He feels that the law should be
changed so as to afford better protec-
ton to those who extend credit IN
der the bankruptcy law as it now
stands, a man can take out a bank
ruptcy petition every six years Mr..
Edmondson contends that this law,
perhaps necessary when it was en-
acted, now gives too much latitude.
Mr.. Edmondson is now the repre-
sentative of Brooks county in the
general assembly, and is known as
The baby OF the legislature" because
he is its youngest member.

CHIEF BEAVERS
MAY LOSE JOB
ACTIVITY IN VICE CAMPAIGN
HAS MADE HIM MANY
ENEMIES.

Atlanta, Jan. 2.-Those who have
an inside knowledge of city politics
declare today that Chief of Police
Beavers is in more serious danger OF
losing his job than he has been "a any
time since the vice war agitation
started.
At the first meeting of city council
in the New Year resolution will be
introduced requesting the police com
mission to return the vice squad" of
80 plain clothes men to regular pa
troll duty in the uniformed ranks. This
resolution Is in reality an expression
of disapproval of the Beavers policies.
A number of members of city council
are already pledged in favor if it, and
it is understood that Mayor Wood
ward also approves it. The idea is
not that any of the councilman oppose
TO Beavers want to see the red light
district reopened; they simply think
that the vice squad work IS being car
ried new to too great extremes.
But the danger Chief Beavers faces
is closer than that which he will meet
through the possible isapproval OF
his methods by council. Chief Beavers
holds his job under the police commits
sion and since the membership Of t1at
commission has been slightly changed
in personnel, the majority now is
known to be opposed to the Men and
Religion bulletins and the jackson
Eagan movement. Inasmuch as Chief
Beavers is the militant leader in car
rying out the wishes express ed
through the bulletins, it is extremely
likely, according to the politicians,
that Beavers may lose his head.
The position of Chief Beavers has
been greatly weakened by the EXPIRES
Sions from CCl. PaXon, Forrest Adair
and other leading business men of the
{ ty that the extremes to which the
vice crusade have been carried have
injured the city None OF these gen
Ciemen is fighting Beav' rs personally,
but the effect is pretty much the same.
