TERMS OF SALE
TOO MANY POLICE CASES,
DECLARE GRAND JURORS
Inquisitors Recommend That a Method of Handling Minor Of
fenses Be Devised to Remedy This Condition—Twice as
Many Arrests Here'as,in Other Large Southern Cities.
With double the number of police
court cazqs In Atlanta a» compared
with other Southern clttea of compara
tively the aame »Ue—Memphis. Nash
ville. Richmond and Birmingham—the
Fulton county grand Jury for the term
that closed on Thursday declares that
there Is something wrong with the sys
tem and that It should be remedied,
The inquisitors recommend that serious
study be given this and a plan be de
vised to avoid the malting of cases
where the offense Is trivial. In Its re
port the grand Jury makes this recom
mendation:
"Wa have seriously considered the
question of law enforcement within the
city and county and are startled by the
large number of offenders appearing
annually before our police’ courts In
comparison with other cities In the
same class. In 1910 there were in At
lanta 18,166 casps, against 10.930 In
Memphis. 9,760 In Nashville. 9,603 In
Richmond, 9,126 In Birmingham nnd
7.186 In Cleveland, Ohio, the last named
city being nearly four times os large as
Atlanta.
“While primarily Interested In the
affairs of the county and state, we be
lieve there Is a direct relation between
the number of serious criminal offenses
and the method of handling minor mis
demeanor offenders by the municipal
police. We therefore now recommend
the serlotie study now being given this
subject by the proper municipal author
ities to devise a plan to avoid making
of cases whete the offense Is trivial and
vet to prevent the repetition of the of
fense and .to save the offender from a
gradual degeneration into the confirmed
criminal."
In line with this, the police commis
sioners of Atlanta have recommended
to council that an Investigating omeer pr , r
be appointed, who, with his assistant, by friend*
•hall Investigate all ilrst or minor of; Hawktnsville.
fenses and be vested with enough au
thority to enable him to be lenient with
such offenders.

STATE’S FIRE INSURANCE
1ST BE DIVIDED UP
Once every live years the governor of
Georgia goes up against a proposition
that renders the making of appoint
ments child's play by comparison. Once
every five years the governor must let
the state's contracts for'Insurance,
On January 6, Governor Slaton will
dole out' the 81.800,000 insurance au
thorized by law among various Insur
ance companies. But what companies
and how many will be the question that
will cause the gpvemoi; loss of sleep
between now und the date fixed for the
signing of the contracts
Since January 6, 1907. a large num
ber of Insurance companies, have been
organized In Georgia, and every one of
them has had representatives sitting In
the governor's ante-room for the past
month, and when they could get to the
governor (which*Is pretty often) they
have been setting forth- good reasons
why their organizations should share
In the pie when cut. i
Governor' Slaton' said 1 Friday that
some of these Georgia companies have
as many as 3,000 stockholders In Geor
gia, nnd‘certainly have claims for <
portion of the state’s business. For
eign companies, some of them, have
larger offices In Georgia than the Geor
gia companies and hire more Geor
gians. This complicates the situation.
The Insurance to be contracted for
In January amounts to about 31.600,-
000, and Is that carried on all the pub
lic buildings In the state Including In
stitutions, hospitals, schools and the
like, with the exception of the state
captol.
No Insurance Is carried upon the Cap
itol building, but 360,000 Is carried on
the contents of the state library.
It Is the theory that the state capitol
building is fire-proof, and doesn't need
insurance. At least this Is the view
taken by the legislature that author
izes the Insurance.
Veteran Marietta Judge Quits
Bench for Bar and Opens
Law Office in This City.
Judge George F. Oober, of Marietta,
for seventeen years on tho bench of the
Blue Ridge circuit, has retired from.the
turmoil of Cobb county politics and re
moved to Atlanta, again to enter the
practice of law. He Is associated with
J. H. Dodgen, with offices at 610 to 612
Third National bank building.
There have been few more w;idely
known members of the Judlolary In
Georgia than Judge Gober.- Around his
court have centered dozens of good
newspaper stories, and his court terms
were always productive of "copy.” He
has been a foremost figure In the poli
tics of his section, and his ability as an
attorney, as well as a Judge, Is Indl
cated In the fact that he was for ten
years the solicitor general of his cir
cuit. He once refused an appointment
to the sypreme.qourt of Georgia, pre
ferring to work In his home section.
He was not a candidate for re-election
In the last campaign, retiring at the
end of his term.
