"The main hold of the saloon upon
the working man." said Colonel Will
lam Mcintyre, of the Salvation Army,
"is the opportunity it offers for
comradeship. The saloon has its ap-
peal to the mans man. Man is a
creature of social instincts. We must
recognize that at times he prefers the
society Of men to that of women. Fifth
Avenue has its clubs, Third Avenue its
saloons, in which may be found bright
lights, pleasing furniture, glistening
glasses and above all, good fellowship.
It is a perversion that often the same
saloon that brings together those who
are honest and manly may also shelter
social vice in it's vilest form.

Dean Mcclellan Resigns
Quits University Of Pennsyl'
vania to Return To Business

PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-An.
nouncement was made to-day by Pro
vost Edgar r. Smith. of the University
of Pennsylvania, that he had accepted
the resignation of Dean William Nc
Olellan, of the Wharton School, which
was rendered on January IL. Dean Nc
Clellan will return to the private bust
ness enterprises in New York which
he left TO became head of the Wharton
School five years ago.
Following closely upon the recent
resignation of DR.. J. Russell Smith,
who leaves the Wharton School to go
to Columbia University, and the bitter
attack made upon the Pennsylvania
trustees, Dean Mcclellan and the
policy Of the Wharton School by Har
rison S. Morris. son-in-law of Joseph
Wharton, the schools founder, the res
ignation Of Dean Mcclellan seemed to
have almost sensational significance.
Provost Smith made it clear, however,
that Dean McClellan's resignation WAS
not at all influenced by the Morris
attack, as it was rendered more than
three months ago.

Alcohol To BE Kept

"rhe saloon Ia not wholly bad" said
Commander Evangeline Booth In a
statement Issued yesterday by the
Salvation Army announcing It's inten-
,tion of saving the good that was in
the saloon for prohibition days. This
is to be done by opening Salvation
saloons at popular corners formerly
occupied by saloons that had small
concern in salvation.
Bars, foot-rais, mirrors, stacked
glasses and bottles, and even the bar
tenders when possible will be pre-
served by the Salvation Army pro-
prictor, not as a tantalizing reminder
of the drinks in former days, but as
accessories to the good fellowship to
which the Salvation Army believes the
saloon owes its long reign rather than
to the goods it sold.
Alcohol To Be Absent
With wholesome buffet instead of
the drab "free lunch," and with soft
drinks instead of hard, the Salvation
Army believes its saloons will sur

MRS. .BRADSTREET
BIGAMIST, SAYS
BANKS LAWYER

ATLANTA, Oct. 21.-Reuben R.
Arnold, attorney for the Fairburn
Banking Company, retained to pros
ecute charges of embezzlement
against William B. Green, it's vice
president; Mrs. Catherine Queen
Bradstreet ,"the woman in the case"
Clarence F. Bradstreet, her husband; /;
and Robert Ellison, their negro chauf-
feur, says he has positive evidence
that Mrs. Bradstreet has committed
bigamy.
Attorney Arnold gave out the fol-
lowing information, showing copies
of the marriage licenses and records ::
First-Mrs. Bradstreet married
William Shoemaker on March 21,
1918, giving her name as "Miss
Agnes Tate after sho lad been
married to Tate in 1917.
Second-Mrs. Bradstreet married
Clarence F. Bradstreet on August
&c, 1919, giving her name as 'Mrs.
Agnes Queen-Tate.
Mr.. Arnold declares that Mrs.
Bradstreet did not obtain a final de.
cree of divorce from Tate until
April ir March of 1919.
This, he said, made the marriage
to Shoemaker null and void.
He also declares that she had stated
that she also married Bradstreet in
the fall of 1918. Her marriage to
Shoemaker, he said, was positive
proof to him that she had committed
bigamy.
Mr.. Arnold declined to say wheth-
er a warrant charging bigamy would
be sworn out. He admitted that such
step had been under consideration
and future events would dictate the
decision.
Mrs. Bradstreet, following her re-
lease from Jail on bond, has gone to
her old home at Panthersville, Ga,
seven miles from Atlanta in the
southern part of DeKalb county.
Her husband and the negro chauffeur
are still confined in the Tower
Green, the bank officer, was released
on bond about a week ago.
Developments in the case await the
audit Of the books of the burned
bank and the commitment hearings
of the Bradstreets, Green and the
chauffeur, which are set for next
Monday, October 81, before justice
of the peace in Campbell county.
