LITTLE DECLARES
HIMSELF VICTIM
Of CRUEL HOAX

W. H. Little, district manager of
the Michelin Tire company, of 81
Marietta street, who was quizzed by
postal inspectors Friday in connec-
ton with the attempted organization
by unknown persons of international
associations Of Sweet Mammals" and
Sweet Daddies" in Atlanta, declared
Saturday "the whole thing from
start to finish appears to be a prac-
teal April fool hoax" so far as he is
concerned, but that it has neverthe-
less resulted in much unjustified en-
barraSSment to him.
Mr.. Little is of the opinion that
If the affair was not an April fool
joke then he was unwittingly brought
into it by a confusion of numbers of
boxes to which it was said replies to
letters should be sent.
When Mr.. Little called at local
newspaper office Friday for replies
to an advertisement he had inserted
for negro porter, PoStoffice InSpec-
tor n. A. McKew confronted him and
proceeded to ask many questions
about letters circulated through the
mails soliciting charter members for
the sweet mamma" and sweet
daddy" fraternities.
The inspectors investigation failed
to develop evidence to show the mails
had been misused and the investlga-
ton was dropped.
The Michelin Tire company, in a
statement Saturday. denied that Mr.
Little had any connection with the
circulation of the letters.
1--WE emphatically deny" said the
statement, "the following statements
published Friday in connection with
the case:
az That Mr. w H LITTLE in charge
yesterday. 1t is perfectly true he
was questioned by postal authorities.
but he was never at any time placed
under arrest.
"2. That any typewriter in his Of
fee showed any special peculiarities
of type alignment identical with that
of the Sweet Mama letter.
"3. That any data, names Of young
ladies, etc, was found in Ltttle's
possession or in his office
~. That Little called for answers
to ad BIZ. The ad we ran in the
paper was for a porter and was list
ed under B-2I. Any Sweet Mama
literature connected with BIZ we
know nothing about. Little did not
call for any answers to Biz nor
have the postal authorities any rec
ord of any such box as BIZ.
I'VE also wish to call attention to
the original ad as filed. This showed
the correct name and address of the
party and concern filing the ad, and
had there been any intent of fraudu-
lent practices or even boyishly fool
ish pranks Mr.. Little would certainly
not have given his name (correct)
and address"
