H. L. Ziegler, of the Thompson &
Bros. Company, who Is one of the de
fendants in the peonage caaea now on
in the Federal court, was on the stand
fur the defense during the morning sea
sion {Tuesday and he had a graphic way
of describing some of the Immigrants
he had to deal w|th. •
Mr. Ziegler brought out on the direct
examination a contradiction of the
story of wrongs done them as told by
the government's Immigrant witnesses
and he told how the men quit without
doing much work. «
It was on the cross-examination by
District Attorney Sheppard that he re
ferred to a couple of the Immigrants as
a "mean looking cuss" and "a fat Ger
man with a tierce mustache.”
It Is possible that the case will close
Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday
morning.
From the progress made so far. thtre
are Indications that the case will re
quire the remainder of the week to sc
cure a verdict.

PROBATION OFFICER
URGES MOVEMENT
Commissioners Await Con
ference Before Commit
ting Themselves.
The movement originated by Dr. J.
W. Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, to establish a reformatory or
Industrial farm for (he youthful negro
criminals of Fulton county. Is meeting
with public favor. While the feasibili
ty of establishing such an Institution
hBs not been determined, because of
Its recent suggestion, the urgent need
of such an Institution for the training
of young negro boys who are started In
crime is generaly recognized.
For rest Adair, formerly a member nt
the board of county commissioners, Is
heartily In favor of the plan as sug
gested by Dr. Lee In an Interview with
a representative of The Georgian Tues
day morning, xvos outspoken In his
belief Hist the Institution should be
established at once. In support of his
position. Mr. Adair said:
Forrsst Adair Favors It.
"I have read the very Interesting
articles by Dr. James W. Lee on the
Fulton County Reformatory and the
necessity of a similar Institution for ne
gro boys.
i was chairman of the board of coun
ty commlsslonera when the present re-
formatory.was built, and there Is noth.
Ing connected with the administration
that I am more proud of than thla In
stitution.
"Commissioner H. E. W. Palmer was
chairman of the committee that had
this particular work In charge, and the
present condition of the Institution Is a
monument to his valuable labor In that
direction.
"If I were on the county board at
thla time, I would certainly vote to
-urchase at leaat 300 acres adjoining
the present farm, build a reformatory
for the negro boys, and put the man
agement of both Institutions under Pro
fessor Means, giving him a sufficient
number of assistants to enable him to
■nation of juveniles. Is heartily in favor
of the present movement. He said’:
“The Idea of establishing a reforma
tory for negro boys Is splendid and ls,a
move In the right direction. We should
by all means have such an Institution
supported by the county, Just the same
as the reformatory for white boya at
Hapevllle. Unless It Is operated
the county, the courts would not have
authority to aentence boya there. The
statistics of the police department show
that we have to deal with four negro
boys to one white boy. and In a great
number of caaea these negjtn boys have
no parents and no one to care (or
them."
Chief of Police Jennings believes thnt
such an Institution would be a good
thing, but thinks that the county should
first establish a reform school for whll t
girls.
County Commissioners.
, While the question of establishing a
reformatory for negro boys has not
been brought directly to the attention
of the hoard of county commissioners,
none of them, when Interviewed by a
representative of The Georgian Tues
day morning, would express themselves
as being opposed to the proposition.
The committee appointed by the Meth
odist ministers at their meeting Mo>i>
day morning to confer with the board
of commissioners will meet with them
In a short while, at which time the
matter.will be fully discussed. Until
that time the commlsslonera stated
they would refrain from committing
themselves on the subject.
The commissioners favor llie propo
sition. hut express a doubt thnt such
an Institution could be built wdth the
county's present funds.
BAD MANAGEMENT
_e jail or the chalngang Is not the
place for boiys under IS years old. Be-
I'ore they have become hardened crlml
nala the reform school la the place for
them, nnd the statistics will show a
surprising percentage of the Inmates of
these schools that turn out In after Ilfs
to be good and useful men.
"In my opinion, the Institutions now
operated by the state do not meet the
demand, but a separate one should be
built for Fulton county, nnd run on the
same plan that the white reformatory
la now conducted. There are at the
Grady Hospital Troubles
Aired Agam m
Council.
K resent time quite a number of negro
oya In Fulton county Jail and In the
work on the farm, given good training,
taught useful trades away from the In
fluence of the hardened criminals, and
the result would be a great good to so
ciety.
‘.‘This Institution would be of no cost
to the county except the original In
vestment, ns It would be from the be
ginning. In my opinion, under the man
agement of such a man as “ "
Professor
Means, more than self-sustaining."

The troubles of the Grady hospital
were given another airing when coun
cil met Monday afternoon to receive
the registration list for the water bond
election. *
Councilman Taylor Introduced en or
dinance providing for the election of
three membera of the board of trustees
of the hospital from the city at large,
irrespective of the wards they live In,
these to serve In addition to the ten
members now composing the board.
The motion to refer was lost, sml
when the ordinance came to a positive
vote and was adopted. Councilman
Longlno arose.
"The present board," he said,
large enough, and there la no sufficient
reason for Increasing It to thirteen
members. 1 have letters that prove
conclusively thnt the old board of true-
tees did not conduct the hospital In ■
proper manner. 1 can prove this by
the attaches and employees of the
hospital.”
The ordinance Increasing the mem
bershlp was adopted, the vote being 11
for and 6 against. The new membei*
will be elected next Monday.
Robert J. Lowry nnd Councilman
Martin will probably be put back on
the board. If they will accept.
Alderman Curtis offered an ordinance
asking the legislature to anWnri tho
charter of the city so ns to prohibit any
man from serving on two boards at the
same time or from holding any two of
fices of any kind at the same time, and
to make a member Ineligible to sue
ceed himself until a year elapsea be
tween the terms of office.
