Albanian She Accused.

Mrs. Jaw H. Pickel, the beautiful
Young woman whom Judge Broyles
described as TOO pretty to be safe
from annoyance on the streets Of
Atlanta" applied to Chief Beavers
saturday for permission to carry
revolver to protect herself from the
horde of "mashers" she says infest
the city.
Chief Beavers refused the request.
He told her he would give her ade-
quate police protection when she
asked for a police escort to protect
her, particularly at Forsyth street
and Carnegie way at night, but that
he could not give her permission to
violate the law by carrying a revol-
yer and perhaps fatally wounding
some citizen.
He said if she thought her life was
in such danger that she felt she
would be warranted in carrying a
weapon it would be necessary for
her to apply to the Ordinary for an
official permit This Mrs. Pickel says
she will do.
