Continued From Page 1.
pressions of Commissioners Pollice
Chief Beavers wil]l serve Burns and
tis operatives with coples of charges
citing them to appear before Record
er Broyies
Commissioner Vernoy, In &asking
the appointment of this committee
sald:
“It's all right to revoke the permit
of the agency, but we should not stop
there. . We want to know just how
many of these Burns detectives have
teen violating this city law, and get
in behind them all”
Commissioner King, also of the
committee, &and who, with Commis
sioner Johnson, introduced the reso
lution that revoked the ageney's per
mit, was frank in his declaration that
the commission would proceed against
the detectives in Police Court
King for Prosecuting.
“Cames will be made against Burns
tnjr all of his men who have been
operating in Atlanta without the ap
proval of the Police Commission-—at
least, that's the way I feel about it,”
sald the Commissiener
It 18 expected that the first step of
the investigating committea Wednes
day will be to call on Manager
Charles . Sears, of the Burns agen
cv, and ask for a complete list of all
of the operatives who have been en
gaged on the Phagan case These
then will be compared with the list
of (‘hief Beavers of those passed on|
and approved ‘
Manager Sears Wednesday would
not discuss the action of the com
mission In revoking the permit fur
ther than to declare the matter had
been “railroaded and steawm-rolled.”
He said he was not allowed an oppor
tunity to “put up any defense what
ever,” and tha* the commission "did
not call on him for a statement of
any kind."” Aegked as to whether the
agency would take the fight into the
courts in an effort to retain iis per
mit, he sald:
Agenoy Likely to Fight.
“The matter is in the bands of my
attorney, Judge Arthur Powell, and
he will proceed as he deems best.”
There lis littie doubt, however,
that further steps will be taken in an
effort to thwart the Police Commis
sion’s action, because of the teeungl
of the Burns people that they were)
“not treated fairiy."”
The resolution of Commissioners
King and Johnson passed with but
one Qlasenting vote -that of Com
misstoner Colcord. He explained his
opposition by remarking that he felt
the sgenoy should be given a hearing
beafore :x‘n{ action was taken. Prior
to thee, Manager Sears had ex
plained that Judge Powell was absent
from the city, and would not return
until Wednesda)

i Mayor Woodward asked for a ruling
from City Attorney Mayson, who was
present, as to the effect of this action
on the license of the agency. Mr.
Mayson ruled that the commission
only could revoke the permit, and
that it would be necessary for the
City Council to revoke the license.
!H’ this was not done, he said, the
agency could continue until the ex
piration of its present license,
Commissioner Smith moved that
tzhr commission request (‘ouncil im
'TlXFl}‘H'(‘:}' to cancel the license, but
{ the substitute of Commissioner Ver
| noy for the appointment of an inves
‘Vfigming committee carried., The spe

{in order that action can be completed

j the conglderation of indictments asked
by the Soilcitor’s office the most im
portant matter before them
. Unless the Grand Jurors hegin on
thelr own account an investigation of
the charges that improper methods
were used in the obtaining of affida
vits by detectives in the employ of the
prosecution and defense in preparing
for the hearing of the extraordinary
motion, It 1s regarded as likely that
the first few days of their session will
be occupied mostly by routine mat
ters,
No Witnesses Subpenaed,
1. A, Stephens, assi#tant to the So
licitor, whe is expected to have In
charge the presentation of the bribery
and perjury evidence to the Grand
Jury, sald Wednesday that he had
subpenaed no wiinesges as vet, and
that the Solicitor's office @id not con
template laying this matier before the
jurors on Wednesday,
That an effort will ba made to con
nect W. J. Burns and Dan Lehon
themselves with instances of alleged
crookedness in the obtaining of affi
davits favorable to Frank has been
indicated by Sollcitor Dorsey, who
questioned bhoth of the detectives
closely when he had them on the
gtand as to the part they had in pro
curing the Annle Maude Carter and
. B. Ragsdale affidavits.
Solicitor Dorsevy was agked if he
would make a definite request for {he
indictment of Burns or Lehon.
“I certainly will it T can get the
evidence agninst them,” he raplied.
Ragsdale To Be Called,
Judge Hlill, in his charge to the
Grand Jurors, mentioned by name
Arthur Thurman, the lswyer accused
by Ragsdale of passing over the
money In payment for the “confes
ston” affidavit which nemed Conley
as the Phagan murderer. Ragsdale
will ha one of the witnesses called
before the Grand Jury. Carlton C.
Tedder, emploved by the Burns agen
ey, probably will be a witness, and
his own conduct in the matter is ex
pected to be the subject for investi
gation. Detective Lehon already !s

Board Praises Work 1
Of Police Shrine Week.
| The entire police department, from
Chief Beavers on down, was felici
tated by the Police Commission for
the splendid manner in which it han
dled the great crowds and preserved
order during Shrine week.
“New York could not have done
better,” was the comment of Commis
sfoner Fuin. And the other Commis
stoners ggreed with him.
A motion by Commissioner King
was adopted requesting the City
‘ouneil to appropriate sufficient mon
ey to pay the police for the extra
hours worked during “the big week.”
Mayor Woodward expressed his hear

the matter through Counctl

Sheriff Gives Dorsey
Affidavit on Frank.
Sheriff C. W. ‘Mfangum signed an
afMdavit Wednesday to be used by
Soltcitor Dorsey {n opposing the mo
tion to set asffle the verdict in the
Frank trlal. The afMdavit deals with
Frank’s movements on the day of the
verdict as he was eercorted to and
from the courtroom by the Sheriff.
The Sheriff sald that after Judge
Roan had charged the jury he re
moved Frank to his cell in the Tower,
believing that he would he safer there
and that the fury might Q{ume time
in reaching {its verdict. le swore
that he recalved no orders to bring
i I'rank back to the courtroom to hear
the rendition of the verdict and for
that reason left him {n the Tower.
The Sheriff's affidavit shed littls light
on the question of whether Frank
himeelf knewsof and consented to the
walver of his presence.
The hearing of the motion to set
aside the verdict i=s set for next Sat
urday, but it is belleved that the
State will not be ready to proceed
bhecause of the regular court business
which has occupied Solicitor Dorsey’s
time. Another continuangs probably
will be asked and the court also may
be requested to postpone the regular
‘ourt business for a few days {n or
der to give the Solicitor opportunity
to get ready for the motion to set

Scores Vulgar Dress as Aide
to Social Evil.
CHICAGO, May 20 —~Modern fash
ions and manners were severely cen
sured and a genera! warning was is
sued to Presbyterians in the blue
book which was distributed to-day to
delegates at the opening meeting of
the Presbyterian General Assembly
The book contains the reporits of
twernty special committees, the most
startiing ftem heing that of the white
elave traffic committies appointed at
the last session in Atianta
“The vulgar tendency of modern
fashion” is one feature of modern life
“that contributes to their case of
the social evi the report says
“To-day many of our women are
going to such extremes in dress as to
shock even the jeast prudish and
open American womanhood to the
charge of a complete forfeiture of
modesty
“The unfortunate side of it all is
that the women of the church, whose
most conspicuous adornment is sup
posed to be meekness, are quite as
gullty of thils offense ag are women
who make no religious professions.’
The increasing craze for excitable
and unchaste amusements and the
['resent-day literature are also class
ed as contributory factors
