FORMER POLICE CHIEF
BEAVERS REINSTATED

ATLANTA, Nov 8. James l..
Beavers, former chief of the Atlanta
police department, convicted on
charges involving inefficiency and in
subordination, early this morning was
axhonerated and reinstated as chief
by the police commission before
which the case was tried for the
third time. Beavers waived all claim
to back salary, amounting to approx
imately $4,000
Chief Beavers was dismissed from
office in August, 1915, after he had
been convicted on two charges. Ihe
case was carried to the Fulton su-
perior court on a writ of certiorari
and returned to the commission after
which he was again convicted on
amended charges.
The case was then carried to the
superior court for second time on
another certiorari and returned to the
commission, the third trial, which
had been postponed three times, re
sulting in his eXhoneration and subse
ouent reinstatement. Capt. William
M Mayo was appointed police chief
after Chief Beavers.
The case had attracted wide atten-
tion because of the extended litiga'
tion in the case and the local issue
involved.

CLOSE TO ALLIES

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The arrival in
London of the American mission,
Colonel Houses statement to the
American state department fill con
spicuous place in the morning news
papers. Editorially, the Times says:
"The theory that America stands
more or less aloof from the allies
may still survive, but henceforth she
shares our inmost cousels not only
regarding the objects of the war but
as to the way to win it #
In several points lately things have
not been going too well for the allies,
but none of their reverses or disap
pointments matter if only the great
war power of the United Saes is
directed rightly to the common end"

WASHINGTON, NOv.9.-The hun
ger strike of Woman's party militants
in the Jail here has resolved itself in
to a dispute over whether the women
were fed forcibly or whether they
took food willingly.
Today, Woman's party headquarters
announced that Alice Paul, the leader,
had been forcibly fed three times
since yesterday afternoon and that
Rose Winslow, her companion, had
been frocibly fed twice. Feeding Miss
Paul three times in a litter more
than twelve hours the leaders con
tended was unnecessary and inhu-
man.
Superintendent Zinkham of the Jail
freely admitted that Miss Paul had
been fed three times, but denied it
had been done forcibly.
There was no forcible feeding, ="
said DR.. j. A. Cannon. the Jail physic-
ian. These women took the food
without resistance and merely want
to advertise themselves by saying
they have been fed forcibly. Miss
Paul's condition is not critical, it is
not even serious. She is doing we'll"
Woman's party headquarters, how
ever, declares Miss Paul will die if
the authorities continue to feed her
''forcibly."

mittee has Incorporated a specific provision
that foreign-built vessels shall not engage

BUENoS AIRES, Sept 20.
whether Argentina will break with Ger
many depends in large measure on the vote
Of the House Of Representatives today. The
overwhelming Senate vote for a diplomatic
rupture was expected to be reflected in the
decision of the Lower House.
.Buenos Aires received the news Of the
Senate's 23-to-1 decision in favor of sever

demonstrations. The city authorities, ap-
prised Of the vote, promptly stationed all re-

attested by great crowds on all downtown
streets until late hour last night, and a
jam of excitedly curious which assembled

There was no doubt that the Administra-

almost unanimous vote in the Senate for a
break with Germany. President Irigoyen
and his advisors have steadily insisted on
full neutrality. The 23-to-1 vote may upset
