woodward openly charging that
Chief Beavers order closing the
segregated district has scattered
immoral resorts all over Atlanta,
and the chief coming back at the
mayor with dare to prove his
charge that graft exists in the po-
lice department.

The district is rcopcncd resign. "
The famous closing order OF
Chief Beavers was given out two
years ago and the claborately fit
ted up district called Manhattan
avenue closed and its handsome
mansions darkened. Since then,
the mayor and several members
OF the police board charge, the
characters who formerly infested
the district have located in certain
hotels, i'll apartment houses and
i'll the residence districts.
Now, after being dormant for
nearly 4 year, the vice situation is
likely to become an issue again.
The so-called '1iberal" candidates
were mostly victorious at the re-
cent city election and when the
new council goes into Office favor
ing a rather wide open town,
there is likely to be some effort at
"loosening up" which will cause
another row in city politics. Chief
Beavers is in supreme control of
his department., and can only be
removed from office by charges
being made and proved against
him.
The progressive campaign
headquarters is beginning to ar
raage the speaking Aates of its
candidates for the three weeks
that viii elapse between now and
tn general election.

that the wisdom of having two
