JONES REFUSES 10 MITENAKTS IN TEUDERLOI OlSffll Readily Admits He Owns Four Places and Declares Women Can Stay as Long as They Please Without Pay ing Rent--Tells Them to Obey Chk and He Will Provide Their Fooa i Charles C. Jones, proprietor of the Rex and well-known sporting man. readily admitted this afternoon that he owned four of thei itoii." sin our midst, asserted that 186 places were being run ille gally in the city outside of the district, and then unfolded a plan to car- for a few score of the women affected by Chief Beavers’ determi- j nation to wipe out the tenderloin of Atlanta. Here is his remarkable statement: Yes, I own four houses down there, and I'm not. ashamed to j say so. I've always been square and above board. You have known me long enough to know that. | When this order went out I told the inmates of my places to stay right on and they needn’t pay any rent. I told them I didn’t need the money and they could stay there a month, a year, or two years, and if they needed iood they could come to me and get it. I told them to obey the order of the chief implicitly, to refuse to let a man cross their dear -t-p, but they could stay in the houses and have a roof over their heat.?. They can’t put them out if they do not violate the laws. ’ ’ •iones, telling of the illegal resorts outside the “district,” showed a list of names. I said 186. not 286, as Captain Poole said.” he explained. "Here are i he names.” IL' drew from his pocket a dozen typewritten sheets hearing the r i s of women and addresses, i' latter included numbers in eeod blocks of some of the best fee n streets in town. They ranged from Peachtree and Spring streets down to the narrow thor oughfares of the slums. The names of perhaps a hundred women were on other sheets. Those are street walkers," said .Tone s. "’Why didn’t you give the list to the '’■it he was asked. "Who is chief of police?" he returned, ■ -sgi -siveij-, “Beavers, or me? It's business, not mine.” ' <>'ild you prove your statement that e addresses on that list are illegal houses?” could. The men who made the list < ear to the* facts." ' ho made the lists?" that's another question I t care to say." " >uld you testify to these facts if before court <v grand jury?" 31 0"-3 Lists But Will Not Testify. I wouldn't. I’m not a police man.” 1 ie proprietor of the Rex, a well 1 ’ n figure in Atlanta for years, was annoyed at having his name ’ ’ in connection with the tender i'dn matter. r , nes refused to discuss the probable ff t of the chief’s order. He said he n <>t want to be d:awn into a dis don. was sorry he had been dragged 'ito the papers, and had told a police tbout the 186 places without the ” >eht that it would bo used as official ’rmation. He permitted a reporter " k over the lists, but declined to t any memoranda made of the or addresses. announcement that there were • gal houses was made when Po ‘Ptain Poole, carrying out the or of his chief, served Jones with no ihat three houses he was reported v n in the district must be vacated , in the specified five days. -s accepted the service calmly. 1 announced that he would not r '"Pt to block in any way the police 'mem’s work, but as he put the " into his pocket he pulled out a " of papers. have here," he said, “ the names 1 Idl’esses of 186 places in Atlanta 'gaily. J have the names of the ' rs and the proprietors. I have the ‘ vidence.” ci 'ain Poole informed Chief Beav the charges today. He declared ‘ had asked Jones for his evi hut that he had refused. "as a citizen of Atlanta," de- 4 ‘‘ the chief, "should produce this •cctif'e, and if he does I will act upon ’ i will put these places out of busi -i. or do my best to, just as I will other places run in defiance of the They all must go.” The added that he was giving* Jones’ charges serious consideration and had not decided yet whether to make formal demand for his evidence. Police authorities are inclined to doubt whether he had the power to take such action. Residents of the restricted district have already begun to leave the city and a general exodus Is expected. Hany of them have gone to Birmingham and others have left for cities in the state. There is little hope that many will be Induced to take advantage of the offer of the Men and Religion Forward Movement leaders. Loaders in the Men and Religion For ward Movement and a number of min istrrs and social workers of Atlanta will meet at noon today to begin a can vass of the restricted district and offer the exiled women opportunities 'to turn to a better life. The workers have a cash fund of SIO,OOO available for car ing for the women who will accept as sistance and say there are enough sit uations pledged to. take care of all the women who will accept them. Th? report that the financial backers of the underworld would establish a new tenderloin outside the ciiy limits, but within the county lines is not given credence today. Sheriff Mangum, who was quoted yesterday as saying lie would not interfere with such a move unless forced to do so, denied making any such statement and both the sheriff and Chief Zach Rowan, of the count' police, say they will co-operate with Chief Beavers in putting out vice. Recorder Broyles' statement to The Georgian yesterday that he would up hold the chief by giving offenders the limit penalty of the law. was borne out in the first cases to come before him*. He held the lessee and manager of the Albian hotel in Pryor street under SI,OOO bonds for the higher court. Two Stranded Show Girls Help Police Crusade. Two girls found in the St. Clair hotel in Forsyth street under questionable circumstances have told the police of numerous other cases where women were using the “hotels ' as a blind for vice. The girls' story shows the evil j effect of some of the cheap vaudeville 1 theaters, too. They were brought to ■ Atlanta by a ten-cent theatrical troup which stranded here in two days afte arrival, leaving the girls penniless. Marion M. Jackson, head of the Mei, and Religion Forward Movement, de clared that if houses in the city are rented for immoral purposes in future the owners, and not merely the proprie tors, will be put in jail. The state law is plain on this subject and makes the owner equally guilty with the manager. "We shall not stop with fines," said Mr. Jackson. "The law says such an owner is subject to a fine of not more than SIOO and imprisonment not ex ceeding 30 days. Some of these rich gentlemen will find out what the rock pile means if they rent houses for im moral purposes.” Two girls, members of a stranded “theatrical” company, are aiding the police force today in running down the so-called hotels which are hotbeds of vice, and their information has led to a number of arrests.

BASEBALL AND RA W CHANCEFLAYS ' ‘BBSS' MURPHY Charges That Dissipation Lost 1909 Pennant to Chicago Vehemently Denied. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. —Angered by charges of President Charles Webb Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs, that the team had failed to win the world’s championship in 1909 because its mem bers were addicted to drinking. Frank L. Chance, the manager-captain, this afternoon flayed Murphy for his criti cism. Chance recently underwent an ■ operation on ills head, but was well enough to rake his chief fore and aft. ”1 want to say that the only time Murphy thinks much of his team is when we are winning world s cham pionships,” he said. "I he trouble with Murphy is that lie does not like his I team except when they are winners. . He is trying to hur, not only the tenhi, I but the individual players as well by I making them look like a lot of tramps i to the public "If President Murphy or any one I else says that my team lost the pen- Inant in 1909 through drink, he is a liar and an ingrate. If any one ever says jthat the Cubs lost a pennant because 7* - - hl IBhMW ■of that reason he is a liar, Murphy in cluded. "I believe that 1 have the best base ball team in either league. Take a collection of five men from any walk of life ball players, business men or even ministers, and keep them together for eight months of the twelve and some of them will be sure to break strict train ing rules. "It. is true that most of my players like a glass of beer after the game; it Is beneficial and not harmful and bet ter than water for them. Rut 1 know there Is no drinking among my men before games or between double-head ers. "Murphy or anybody else can’t force me personally to sign a contract with an anti-drink and an anti-smoking clause. The other men of my team do as they like in this regard. I have rnadd it a rule that not one of my pitchers shall smoke cigarettes during the playing season. "And further,” Chance added, “I know that the men live up to this rule. I do not believe in smoking cigarettes, but if ball players can not sit down after a meal and smoke a cigar or cigarette if desired, I do not know what ball players are coming to. “Murphy is sore because we lost the pennant this year and he wants to rasp somebody, but let me tell you that he is not going to rasp me. No team whose members dissipated could have won the pennant for four years and second place for three.” Montgomery Baseball Franchise Thrown On Market By Club Owner MONTGOMERY, ALA.. Sept. 26. The Montgomery baseball franchise in the Southern league Is for sale, ac cording to a statement of Owner Rich ard Tillis today, following the breaking off of negotiations for a guarantee fund by the Montgomery Business Men’s league. The league had raised the necessary guarantee to keep baseball in Mont gomery for the next three years, but Mr. Tillis and directors of the league could not agree on the contract which was to be signed by both parties. Mr. Tillis refused, during the past summer, an offer for the franchise from Little Rock. He declined to say today whether he would accept this oliet if it ■ waai made again.

DEBATES WHAT TO DO WITH MENA, NICARAGUAN REBEL WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—State de partment officials here are worried con cernlng the ultimate disposition ol General Luis Mena, Nicaraguan rebel leader, who with TOO men surrendered to Rear Admiral Southerland at mid night on Tuesday. Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson Is debating whether Mena shall be held by the American forces, turned over to the federate or exiled from the country'. While the United States would not countenance officially the summary ex ecution of the rebel leader, it is welt understood that the state department would make no protest should Presi dent Diaz follow such a course. Mena, by his barbarous attacks on women and children and non-combatants, and his shelling by his ships of unprotected households, has placed himself outside of the pale of civilization, and state department officials are of the opinion that his immediate execution would bo the best thing for that country. In the same dispatch from Minister Weitzel, who confirmed Mena’s surren der. the state department learned that conditions at Granada when the Ameri can forces arrived there were of the worst possible. Women and children were dying in the streets from starva tion, while rebel soldiers brutally at tacked any one who made an outcry. What little food there was in the city had been captured by the rebels, who had also cut off the supply of water,
