City Lives In Terror
Tampa, Fla.—An unprecedented
crime wave has caused a reign of
terror in the city of Tampa, Fla.
Eight murders within a space of
two weeks and a startling series of
91 fires in three days, interspersed
with the receipt of many threaten
ing letters, has caused the popula
tion to fear for their lives and
property,
The climax to the series of crime
was the slaying of Estados Candos,
a Spaniard, who was mysteriously
shot as he sat in front of hisstore.
The police not only are bafiled in
their attempts to capture the
criminal, but are taunted by letters
all apparently in the same writing.
in which the writer boasts of hav
ing committed the crimes.
Accord:ng to the police these
jetters are by the same writer who
recently addressed one to the
police in which he threatened to
burn the city. Within three days
after its receipt the Fire depart
ment Lad responded to 21 alarms.
In addition to Candos, two white
women. Viola Dantord and Mrs.
Juan Rodriguez, were mysterious
ly shot down. The other five vic
tims were negro women. The po
lice are working on the supposition
that the crimes were committed
by a demented negro.

Atlanta, Nov.—Just now the
most casual observer can see that
there is something fundamentally
wrong with Atlanta. Its shoes
peed shining. The explanation is
as obvious as the need, The voung
men who were pre-eminent in per
forming the great service of ‘‘shin
ing ‘em up.”
They have gone to fight as well
as they have worked, lured back
from toil by love of their isles
“‘where burning Sappho loved and
sang, where grew the arts of war
and peace,” to battle with the hat
ed Turks.
Atlantians miss them, for they
were az institution, and the young
sters who are coming to take their
places have not yet learned the
ways of the new country. It used
to be said that when Greeks met
Greek in America they were in
spired to start a shoe-blacking
stand, and often thev did it singly.
To none of the arts of peace
fathered by the classic Greek, did
he ¢pply himself more tempera
mer tallv or impart a finer palish.
The golden age of Pericles wore
no higher finish than his brush
imparted. Now where once shone
brightness all is dull, for the negro
bootblack works for his tip and
shirks his work when he thinks he
won’t get it, but the Greek shines
shoes for the love of his art.
