POLICE RECORD
FOR THIS YE*
from the reportB of Chief McKle
fur ibis year and last. It appear that

this year than last
For the first ten months of the year

time last year the number of cases
docketed was 1,201.
For tho entire year, last year the
fines amounted to $3,900, and for the
first ten months this year they amount- acconl ,> an |ed the daughters to Ander-
Id to $8,239.67. The fines for the en- 1 8onv u| e> where they visited tho old

Tho Georgia division sustained Mrs.
Gabbett In her suggestions and In
dorsed her vigilance, eourage and 'ong
patriotic service. Mrs. Gabbett is ono
of Georgia's moot brilliant women. Her
talk before the convention received
great applause. Mrs. Gabbett, as cus
todian, has delivered 62,000 crosses to
Confederate veterans.
The Win monument came up for
nnlmated discussion at tho morning
session^ Mrs. C. C. Sanders, of Galnes-
ertreusurer of the Georgia division,
reported $006 collected for tho Win
monument. Tho proposition meets
with the greatest favor and It Is hoped
that a start upon this lusting testi
monial to Captain Wlr- may soon be
made.
Upon conclusion of the morning ses
sion the convention delegates wero
served an elegant buffet luncheon
shortly before their departure for An-
dersonvllle. A special train was placed
at their dlsi»sal by tho Central of
Georgia railroad, and Passenger Agent

An interesting arbitration Is to be
held In a short while, in which the
value of eleven life passes over the
Northeastern road Is to he fixed.
While tho arbitrators will not ac
tually pass on this question, their de
cision will in effect amount to that.
This arbitration arose over an act
of the governor during the adminis
tration of Governor Atkinson. The
state at that time owned the North
eastern railroad, and In settling with
the heirs of Sherman J. Sims, of Mays-
ville, Governor Atkinson gave them
eleven life passes over the road for
their Interest In certain rights of way
needed by the road.
Since that tine the road has been
sold by the state and the Southern
road refuses to honor the passes. The
heirs have made a movement to get
tho value of their right of way and
an arbitration has been provided
tho legislature.
The value of the right ot way at the
time the land was given to the state
III exchange for the passes will be the
question to be settled by the arbltra

termlning of the value of the passes

lion. Samuel J. Tribble, of this city
has been named as the arbitrator for
the state, and the arbitrator for the
heirs will soon be named. They will
choose n third man and the arbitra
tion will then proceed.
HOW SHOPPERS MAY
HELP TIRED SALESWOMAN
The following article 'from the pen
of Della Austrian In the Ladles' Home
Journal reads Interestingly:
The "woman at home,” whose in
fiuence for good should he far-teach
ing, can In a number of ways make
life easier and pleasanter for the girl
who waits on her in the shop,
she stops to think she will appreciate
the trying conditions which surround
the saleswoman—hard dnys, disagree
able customers and long hours, and
tho fatigue and nervous headaches
that so often icsult from these. Let

least they can do is to thank the sales
girl for her time.
When giving one's name and ad
dress It is well to give the Initials and
the address distinctly. Some credit
customers think because they havo
bought goods of a clerk before she enn
remember their names and addresses,
and so they walk away with tho re
mark, "Charge and send, please,” and
b) the time the clerk gets out her ad
dress book tho customer has disap
peared. During the holidays and at
other busy times It Is well to har
one's name and address on a rain'
pass it to the clerk to copy. It Is most
important not to walk away for
moment and then return for a parcel,
for If parcels are exchanged by mis

take back tho goods that are soiled.
Shopping could bo made less ardu
ous for both women if clerks and cus
tamers were to extend to clerks the
same courteous treatment they offer
their friends. Women are often so
deeply absorbed in their own Interests
counter needs consideration. They
forget that a largo numher In the
ranks havo seen better days; that they
havo been reared by gentle and re
fined mothers; and these girls know
only too well how women ought to
conduct themselves.
Theso women ought to understand
that the giddy, giggling girl who
works to supply herself with pin-
money to purchase fine feathers and
furbelows Is the exception to the usual
kind of salesgirl. She generally drops
out of the ranks early, finding ber
tasks and patrons too exacting.
Some women arc angels until they
go shopping, and then they make
every one with whom they come In
contact nervous and Irritable. If men
were to go shopping once with some

PENSIONS
Commissioner J. W. Lindsey
Makes Report Showing
That Deserters Are
On the Lists.
Atlantn, Ga., Nov. 2.—State Pension
Commission J. W. Lindsey has made
a report on the pension question In
Georgia that shows that Georgia is
faced by a deficit next year of $30,000
In this department, and that there are
also deserters on the lists, due to the
grand juries In many counties not do
ing their duty In regard to the purg
ing of the lists. The report Is as fol
lows:

Dear Sir: I hand you herewith my

Governor:—I have made
every of-
fort In my work that diligence and
painstaking would suggest to hold tho
rolls to ho paid in 1907 within the ap
propriation, but the foregoing figures
show that I have not been able to do
this. There Is no way to trim theso
rolls, and obtain a less number, for
every applicant whoso claim has been
approved, lias been required to state
and clearly prove his right to the pen
sion under the law, before the same
was approved.
There can ho no doubt that tho de
partment has been Imposed upon by
an Ihcrc-ased number ot fraudulent
claims, but tho law makes no pro
vision to protect tho stato against
such, except through the grand juries
ot thc counties, and that results in but
little protection. Three-fourths of the
grand Juries of tho counties take no

standing the fact that the rumor
that the pension rolls are burdened
with a good number of frauds. To give
you some idea of the extent of these
frauds the department hat adopted a
rulo that when it appears In aa ap
plication that the applicant was cap
tured and sent to Federal prison, to
request of the war department at
Washington, D. C., to be furnished
with the prison record ot all such ap
plicants. General F. C. Ainsworth, tho
military secretary nnd custodian of tha
war records, has boon very kind to
furnish copies of theso prison records.
I sent him out of tho work of this year
127 requests; and out ot this number
the record ot sixteen showed that they
had deserted by taking the oath of al
legiance to the United States and usu
ally Joining the nrmy or navy of tho
United States. Last year I sent 107 re
quests and twelvo deserted of that
number. In 1904 I sent 103 requests
and ten deserted of that number.
Those figures represent In a gen
eral way a fair per cent of the aver
age frauds contained In the applica
tions made to this department With
no way provided by tow to protect
them. It Is Impossible for this depart
ment to put an end to these frauds
and attempts at fraud.
I call your attention to this prac
tice at this time, that you may think
over the defects In the tow, and If you
think proiicr to do so, bring It to the
attention of the next general assembly.
Yours respectfully,

Of Several of the Forts in
the Philippines.
Manila, Nor. 2.—A young Japanese
officer, known to hold a commission as
a captain ot engineers, was caught to
day while to disguise as he was en
gaged In sketching certain ot the for
tifications of Manila harbor. Ho was
promptly placed under arrest, and
steps will be token to have him de
ported. i
A search of the young officer's ef
fects brought to light several well exe
cuted sketches of forts In the island,
on which annotations showing the at-
rangemcnls of guns, distribution ot sol
diers stationed to each fort, and gen-
craly comments nn tho effectiveness of
the defenses.
Steps were Immediately taken by,
tho military authorities when they
learned of the arrest to seo that none
ot the ofilcer’s drawings shall get oat
ot the islands if they have not already
been sent. The malls will probably be
oxamlned to see If they contain any
suspicious letters or documents being
sent to Japan.

the arrest has Cattqpd a great sensa
tion, especially lu view of the agitation
now In progress In Japan against the

It Is not regarded as likely that

A BAD Tl
Clifton Forge, Va., Nov. 6.—At Gosh
en, 25 miles cast of this city, Charles
Hicks murdered his wife and then
took his own life.
It Is said that Hicks was some years
ago bitten by a mad dog, and It is be
lieved that his mind was unbalanced.
Jealously Is also attributed as a cause.
Both he and his wife were young and
had been married about five years.
Details of the tragedy are meager.
