MITCHELL SHOE CO. North Broad Street Atlanta, Dec. 22.—The organiza- ion in Atlanta known as the "com- nittee on church co-operation," called by John J. Egan, Dr. M. Ashby Jones, Marion Jackson and others, has addressed to Gov. Hardwick communication raising a unique ques tion in respect to the prohibition of corporal punishment in prisons. By implication, it is claimed in their brief, the constitution of the state prohibits the use of the lash. The communication cites the fact that the constitution prohibits the employment of whipping or banish, ment as punishment for crime if state, and then argues If the courts of law are prohibited in this way by the state’s organic law, certainly the direct implication would be that the prison authorities, who are of less*, authority and subservient to thi courts, also must necessarily be ex cluded from the use of any form of punishment which the court3 thera- lelves are not permitted to employ. On that ground, the committee arguei corporal punishment is illegal in Georgia. The request is made that the brief and communication be refer-*id to the attorney general for a legal opinion and the matter will be given that course by Gov. Hardwick, who says the point raised is, to say the hast, interesting and worthy of careful nsideration and investigation. The purpose of the organization is to’ bring about an order abolishing flogging in the prison camps, and the request is made that, if the attorney general's opinion coincides with the institutional positloi taken by th ! committee, the prison commission be directed to promulgate a rule ending flogging. All prison commission rules for the operation and regulation of prison camps must have the ap proval of the Governor. DRUG ADDICTS DECREASE Washington, D. C., Dec. 22 In recent yean there haa been marked decrease in the number of drug addicts in the United States, according to Col. L. G. Nutt, chief if the narcotic division of the pro hibition bureau who has just re turned to Washington from a trip through the Weat in connection with plans for an active campaign against opiate venden. While "drug boot- loggers" still constitute a national menace, he said, their illicit traffic s more nearly under control today than it ever baa bean. Col. Nutt denounced aa without foundation reports which he said were current in Chicago to the effect that habitues of drugs had increased "about 1,400 per cent." and that many converts were to be found in society circles.

The defense will open today. In the testimony of its last few itnesses, the state completed its lation of the events from the time three mine guards were shot while driving in a truck from Carbondale to the Lester mine on the morning of June 21, to the attack on the mine that afternoon when three union miners were killed, the surrender un der a white flag the next morning of fortyeight men in the pit and the slaying of twenty of the prisoners. All five defendants have been point ed out in court as having been with guns during the riots and eral of them have been nnmed as hav ing shot down some of the victims During the course of the presentation of the state’s case, four of the vivors of the tragedy have taken the stand and described.the scenes of hor ror which they aaid accompanied the killings. The cross-examination by the de fense hnve been brief and apparently designed to bear out its contention that the non-union men in the mine and their employers had incited the riots for the purpose of having atate troops called out to protect the pits; that the guards in the mine were armed, and that they disregarded warnings that the operation of the mine would result in outbreaks. In their cross-examination attor neys for the defense repeatedly re ferred to the non-union workers in the mine nnd the guards ns “scabs," 'gunmen,” private detectives and "spies. * W. Kerr, chief counsel for the defense, said he expected to prove that the 'guards or gunmen" were the aggressors in the riota and brought on nny attack that was made upon them by their acts of provoc* tion and challenge. He made special reference to the testimony of Donald M. Ewing, Chicago newspaper man and it is expected that the defense would prove that the incident he re lated of the refusal to give water to two men shot at the Herrin Cemetery never took place, that Bart Grace, a defendant, had no connection with it nnd that while Mr. Ewing testified he reached the cemetery at 10:20 o’clock, evidence would be Introduced ihow that the bodies of the men bad been removed almost an bout evious to- that time. Mr. Kerr also stated that the testi mony of Dr. Shipnian, who testified eyewitness of the death march from Herrin to the cemetery would be impeached and evidence introduc ed to show that Dr. Shipman was not there at all. n* added that other witnesses would be Introduced in an effort to disprove testimony given by ither of the state’s witnesses.
