COUNCILMANIC PROBE WELCOMED BY POOLE | Boykin Has No State- ment to Make—“Com- mittee Has a Whole Lot _to Do,” Says Chairman Hatcher. Sweeping investigation which has arisen be- tween the office of the _ solicitor general and the Atlanta police de- partment, growing out of criticism ot the department by Solicitor Gen- eral Joon A. Boykin following the series. of, recent gambling raids by the solicitor’s office, was ordered in a resolution unanimously adopteg by eity council Monday afternoon. A special probe committee of five members was authorized and vested with full power to summon _§ wit- nesses and swear them, and require the production of any and‘all docu- be necessary to- ward ascertaining the truth. Mayor Pro Tem. Harvey Hatcher was des- ignated as the chairman authorized to name the remaining four. They are Alderman D. R. Wilder, Coua- cilmen J.C. Murphy and Alvin Rich- ards, joint authors of the resolution, and Councitman Claude Ashley. Date for Hearing Set. The committee met and organ- ized after the adjournment of coun- cil and set the opening hearing for next Thursday morning at 10 o'clock in the committee room ad- joining the counci] chamber. Revelations of a startling char- acter were broadly hinted at. by Chairman Hatcher at the brief ses- sion. “Il have got leads within t last two hours through confidential sources that have convinced me this committee has got a whole lot to do,” he declared. “Something’ has been going on that ought not to happen. There is a whole lot of rottenness in this town somewhere. [If it is not in the police depart- ment we are here to find out where into the until we do.” He announced that he would con- | fer. today with Solicitor Boykin and request him to co-operate by furnishing the names of any wit- nesses who might give material evidence in the hearing. It is ex- pected that at least twenty per- sons will be subpoenaed _ to be present as witne sses next Thursday. When told last .'ght of council's action, Chief of « fectives A. L. Poole, with whom Mr. Boykin clashed, said that he welcomed cuun- cilmanic investigation and would be glad to give his services and offer his co-operation\to the committee in every manner possible. No Statement by Boykin. Solicitor Boykin said he had no Statement to make. “My time is taken up with my own investiga- tioms before the grand jury,” he stated, ‘and for this reason I have no statement to make at present.” Investivation of the ef Continued on Page 4, Column 3%. as | Envestigating Com-_| 'whé last Saturday committed sui- | ' ures ‘ALASKA TERMED it is and we will summon witnesses | ' trade in controversy | Attackis Sudden Acute Indigestion ~ the!

Hudson was carried to the hos- pital between 3 and 4 o’clock Mon- day afternoon from his residence, 21 East Eighth street, where he resides with his wife andthetwo daughters of Harrell and Mrs. Hudson. First news of Hudson’s illness, coming so closely updh the heels of the suicide of Harrell, created considerable interest Monday, but Mrs. Hudson assured The Consti- tution that her husband had mere- ly suffered an attack of acute indi- gestion. Late Monday night Hud- son was reported as sleeping under the influence of an injection of morphine. His wife remained at his bedside. throughout the night. Mrs. Hudson stated that her hus- band had been subject to attacks of indigestion for some time, and she added that Monday’s attack was slightly more severe than any pre- vious one. At the time of her hus- band’s removal to the hospital Mrs. Hudson stated that she was down- town on business in connection with the estate of the late Mr. Harrell. Mrs. Hudson also told a repre- sertative of The Constitution that a stomach pump was ..used upon her husband immediately upon his ar- rival at the sanitarium.

President Changes Mind, He Will Written Message—Con- son’s Appearance. Washington, the Associated President Wilson changes his plans at the last moment, he will not ad- dress congress personally tomorrow, but will send a message in written form. It will be read to house senate sitting in separate session as ' was done with the presid®nt’s mes- / sage last December and was the custom until Mr. Wilson began the habit of addressing Congress per- sonally. The president did not make known his intention to a joint committee of the senate and kouse which call- ed today at the White house to formally notify him that congress was in session, but members of the delegation left him with the im- pression that he would not appear before congress in person. The president’s statement to the com- mittee was that he would “commu- nicate with’. congress tomorrew. Mr. Wilson received ‘his congres- sional visitors in the blue room. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the republican leadey in the senate, was the spokesman, ‘and he and the president met face to face for the first time since the league of tlons covenant and the peace trea- ty were defeated in the senate un- der Senator Lodge's leadership. Wilson Refers to “Third Lex.” The president did not ehake hands with his visitors. They were ushered into the blue room by white house attendants and then Mr. Wil- son appeared from an adjoining room. He wore a blue sack suit and used a cane. On entering the door he smiled and pointing to his ' cane, said: | “You see, gentlemen, I cannot yet dispense with my third leg.” The committee was at-the white ho Uge only a few minutes and the president remained standing at the door of the room during the inter- view. Some of tHe visitors said that in walking his left leg evidenced his affliction and that he kept his left hand up across his chest, Besides Mr. Lodge, the white house callers were Senator Under- wood, of Alabama, the democratic senate jieader. and Representative Mondell, Deceanber life. Only a few years ago, the late Mr. Harrell instituted divorce pro- ceedings against his wife, now Mrs. Hudson. The decree was granted and shortly afterward Mrs. Harrell became the wife of Hudson, who had been stationed at Camp Gor- aon with the fifth division. Sev- eral months after the Harrell! di- verce proceedings were instituted similar proceedings were begun be- tween W. G. St. John, official of the local waterworks department, and his wife, who was formerly Miss Edith Ruffin, of* Petersbyrsg, Virginia. This divorce was granted and less than thrf& months ago Mrs. St. John became the wife of Harrell.’ REAL PARADISE OF BOOTLEGGERS Tacoma, Wash., December +6,— Alaska is the real paradise of boot- leggers and in that territory there is little evidence that the eighteenth amendment has gone. into effect. according to a statement made here today by Donald A.
