Chairman of Board Calls Im-
modest Dress Here a Fun
damental Evil.
Condemnation of the immodest dress
of Atlanta n omen, particularly of the
Peachtree street promenaders, will be a
striking feature of the report of the
vice commission, created by the city
council, at the request of the Men and
Religion Forward Movement, if the rec
ommendations of its chairman are car.
ried out.
Joseph A. McCord, the chairman, said
today that his idea in recommending
reforms is to deal with fundamentals,
and that immodest dress on the streets
is one of the fundamental evils in At
lanta. Although the commission has
held many public and secret sessions.
Chairman McCord said he could not
speak for it, for no vote bad been taken
on any Si lure of the report.
For tas months the commission has
been making a close study and inves
tigation of conditions here. All citi
zens were given the opportunity to ap
pear before it and present their views,
in conferences held to assimilate their
information, the finger of criticism was
raised again the gay array of women
and girls on Peachtree and other prin
cipal streets of Atlanta.
Street Dress Blamed
For Mashing.
~ The clinging, short skirts, the low
cut waists and extremely short sleeves
*are to be condemned ip the opinion of
the commission.
While some of the members of the
commission are at a loss to know what
to do about it. because, they say, con
spicuous attire is so genera! among
women, others believe that a formal re
port calling attention to the danger will
start a movement toward more Puri
tanical modes of attire.
The dress pf the women is blamed
for much of the "freshness" of men.
According to press dispatches, a na
tion-wide war against the present tight
skirts and peek-a-boo waists has been
begun. And nowhere has a defender
arisen to declare that women's scant
attire was due to excessive heat.
Mrs. Leonora M. Lake, of St. Louis,
In a Chautauqua lecture at Columbus
Ind., last week, devilled that woman is
suffering from "f/ donit'is.” She said
that ballet danct- and acrobats are
more becomingly, ressed and that the
present tight skirts give men reason to
make vulgar remarks.
Clergy Joins in
Campaign for Reform.
The Omaha Woman's club has an
nounced tnat in September a campaign
wiH be begun to persuade the mer
chants not to buy clothing which is ob
jectionable io the club.
"The big cry of annoyance on the
street and in public places from men
which girls are now making is largely
due to their foolish mode of dress and
manner,” declared Miss Mary F. Bal
comb, president of the Young People's
Civic league of Chicago.
She said that women should wear
longer and wider skirts, not too long
to touch the ground, but long enough
to conceal the ankles, and that the
waists should not be cut so low as to
expose the bosoms.
Bishop Austin Dow ing of the Catho
lic diocese of Des Moines declared that
women's gowns are growing more im
modest every year.
“It is because they are designed in
a country which is frankly immoral,”
he said. "The French openly discuss
subjects which are not whispered in
America."
P<jpe Pius started a movement for
more modesty in women's dress some
months ago by severely condemning the
present modes of dress. In St. Martins
Catholic church, in Baltimore, Rev.
Thomas Broydick declared that some
of the present fashions worn in the
churches were profane to the temple
of God. and Father Jackson In this
< ity barred wearers of hobble skirts
from his church.
The Seventh Day Adventists, in a
convention at Glendale, Cal., declared
that one could best be a true Christian
by wearing the simplest of frocks, dis
carding high-heeled shoes and large
hats and the tight-fitting skirts, and by
a voiding ihe extreme dress decreed by
Dame Fashion.

THIS IS A TRUE TALE:
ICEBERG FORMS IN
STREET IN HOT SUN
Walter Taylor, city clerk, told a
story today of how the residents of
Auburn avenue were recently amazed
by the forming of an iceberg in their
street in the broiling sun.
It happened in front of f Pratt lab
oratory at the corner of Auburn avenue
and Courtland street. A valve on a
carbonic acid gas tank charged with
1,800 pounds pressure accidentally was
knocked loose. The tank shot across
the street like a skyrocket as the gas
escaped. It struck a tree in front of
the Wesley Memorial church and
bounded into an iron fence on the other
side of the street. Then it dived head
long into the gutter and began to whirl
around. It had just missed several au
tomobiles and persons standing in the
street.
When the excitement of the spec
tators bad subsided sufficiently for
them to determine what had happened,
they found a long cylinderical body of
ice in the street. The escaping gas had
caused ice to form on the outside of
the tank.
GOVERNOR BROWN
EXPECTED TO VETO
MILITARY MEASURE
H is considered certain that Governor
Brown will veto the military bill designed
to consolidate the offices of quartermas
ter general and adjutant general.
When former Adjutant General Scott
was deposed by Governor Hoke Smith.
William G. Obear, then quartermaster
general, was appointed adjutant Since
that time Obear has carried out the func
] tions of both offices with the aid of two
I clerks.
! While the chief executive has given no
direct assurance that he would disap
prove the attempt to consolidate the tw<»
offices his views <>n the subject are well
known. He does not believe that any
such an arrangement should be made by
the executive department and later con
firmed by the legislature.
BILL REPEALING DOG
TAX IS SIGNED: STATE
LOSES $175,000 YEARLY
Wean of being made the goat of the
political aspirations of a few members
of the legislature. Governor Brown has
signed the Oliver bill repeating the dog
tax. This measure, It is said, will take
$175,000 in revenue away from the
state.
It has been rumored at the Capitol
since the legislature adjourned that
members of the lower house who voted
for a repeal of the tax have begged the
governor to veto the bill. It is said
that many of them voted for the bill,
believing fully that the governor would
disapprove it, to save the state the rev
enue. Voting the repeal the dog tax it
said to be an efficient vote getter in
the country.

SLAYERGANG
PAYMASTER
BEARS OUT
JACK ROSE
In Conference With Whitman
Aboard Train, Sam Schepps
Corroborates Confession.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—"1 am
satisfied. Sam Schepps has just told me
his story. It was enough to clear up
several vital points.”
This statement was made by restrict
Attorney Whitman today on the train
en route for New' York from Albany,
where Whitman met the party en route
from Hot Springs, Ark., where
Schepps was captured, after he had
held a conference of 30 minutes with
Schepps. the alleged "murder paymas
ter” In the Rosenthal murder case.
After Schepps had talked with Mr.
Whitman the prisoner was taken into
the dining car for his breakfast. In
his absence Mr. Whitman had an au
dience with the corps of newspaper
men who came to meet the Schepps
party.
Mr. Whitman said.:
“When Schepps came before me 1
said to him: ‘Schepps. tell me your
story in plain language—no frills and
no jokes.’ This he proceeded to do the
best he could.
Corroborates Story
Os Jack Rose.
,f I have secured all the corroboration
I expected. This is enough to clear up
several vital points and strengthen the
case.”
Asked if Schepps corroborated “Bald
Jack” Rose's confession. Mr. Whitman
said:
“Yes. Schepps confirmed it, so far as
I have gone with him, He corroborated
the statement that he had gone to
Harry Pollock's home (where Rose was
hidden immediately following the
shooting) for Lieutenant Becker. He
would not admit that he paid the mur
derers for killing Rosenthal He de
clared that he was not at the scene of
the murder. He did say, though, that
he had ridden in the ‘murder automo
bile' used by the assassins to escape
earlier in the evening He told me he
went to Pollock's home with Rose to
see Becker. Further than that I did not
question him. Schepps is a talker and
loves to tell stories, so I’ve got to sep
arate the wheat from the chaff.”
Police Try to Get
Possession of Schepps.
A dash between Assistant District
Attorney Rubin and five detectives of
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty’s staff
occurred today when Samuel Schepps.
the Rosenthal “murder paymaster.” ar
rived at the Grand Central terminal.
The detectives had been given orders
from Dougherty to arrest Schepps on
sight and bring him lo police head
quarters.
Rubin, however, refused to surrender
him, declaring that Schepps was a state
witness and not a prisoner. He was
hustled into a taxicab and when the
detectives insisted that the man be
turned over to them and tried to follow,
they were unceremoniously restrained
and the car whizzed to the West Side
court.
“The police can't get him,” was Ru
bin's parting shot.
An earlier clash occurred at One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, where
the train was boarded by two central
office men who demanded Schepps.
Whitman told them he would indict
them if they tried to get the prisoner.
At the West Side police station
Schepps was arraigned before Magis
trate House as a vagrant. Attorney
Sandler, for Schepps. asked that the
case be continued 48 hours, but later
consented to a week's postponement on
request of District Attorney Whitman.
Accordingly Magistrate House con
tinued the hearing until August 24, and
Schepps was taken to a cell.
