Over-run With Crime, Atlanta Citizens
Ask For More Police Protection
Atlanta, Oa„ Jan. 17.—Atlantans
are crying aloud for more police pro
tection which, it seems, cometh not.
When Atlanta spread out, more
than doubling its area by taking In
14 square miles and adding to the 12
she already had, it was thought nat
urally the police force would be
materially increased; but the In
crease has not come.
Not only that but at the end of
the year 1910 some thirty extra po
licemen had to be dropped from the
force on- account of the fact that the
departmental funds were exhausted.
All of which Is causing no small
amount of critical comment, particu
larly in view of the fact that high
way robbery and purse-snatcbtng has
become almost In dally vogue, and
generally the thief gets away with
the goods.
Twice within the laat few days
young negroes have matched puraes
from the hands of women. In the
early evening Just after dark, and
right under electric lights at that.
An aged woman waa knocked down
and left unconscious by a negro who
ran away with her purae.
Several men have been held up
In dark and unfrequented places and
robbed at the point of pistols.
The thing is getting on the nerves
of many Atlantans, especially the
women and those who have to go
through unfrequented and badly
lighted streets after dark: and not
a few who live In the portions of the
city newly taken In, are complaining
that they never see a policeman in
their section.
The city council has made no pro
vision for any material extension of
the police department In 1911, though
If something is not dose to stop the
numerous robberies, there la little
doubt that public clamor will, short
ly, Insist upon such action as will
put an end to them.
Before the commissioners of roads
and revenues of Clarke county yes
terday in their regular meeting ap
peared four children asking the board
to consider their petition io improve
a piece of road they want worked
out. Through nearly two hours ses
sion of the board they sat and wnl
ep patiently their time to make their
wants known. When their request
was stated the commissioners listen
ed in amazement. Usually there have
been complaints and demands made
on the board for apeefal attention to
roads. In this instance the children
merely asked that the county put the
road in such shape as to make it pos
sible for them to beautify it accord
Ing to their own plans. A former com
missioner, who happened to be at the
meeting of the hoard on another
matter of business, impressed with
the earnestness and patience of the
children was moved to make a speech
on behalf of their cause—and it is
seldom that the gentleman in ques
tion ever talks unnecessarily. The
children who appeared before the
commissioners were Lottie Jarrell
Doris Moore, Charlie Johnson, and
Walter Huff. Their ages range from
ten to fourteen years. Miss Lottie
Jarrell was spokes-woman for the
quartette. She told the commission
ers that Georgia avenue, a road Just
outside the city limits and near the
State Normal School, had been some
time ago opened by the property own
ers who donated the right of way, but
that the county had never worked
the thoroughfare. She recited the
fact that the "Civic Beauty League,"
organized among the children In the
community, had only a day or two
ago cleaned out the street snd had
with their own hands rnked up and
hauled off about fifteen wagon-load*
of trash. They asked the commis-
sloners to grade the road and put It
in such condition that they can furth
er improve and beautify It as an at
tractive highway. The commission
ers. solid business men. were touch-
ed at the appeal and it la recorded
on the minutes that they will hare
the county force, convicts and all, at
work on that bit of road as soon as
they can possibly get to it.

know that three preachers now in
Athens have served Gainesville
churches. It Is also Interesting to
know that the three most important
offlcea in Gainesville the held by for

Gainesville was raised In Athens as a

for some time. Councilman H. N.

And the city clerk, Mr. J. H.
White, who has held the position in
Gainesville for many years was born
and reared in Athens and was a boy
with the present city clerk, Mr. Wood,
of this city. Another thing which in
dicates the way municipal matters
are mixed in relationship with Gaines
ville: For a year Mr. W. H. Norris
was a member of the Gainesville coun
cil while his place of work waa for
nlne-tentha of the time in Athens with
the Klein A Martin factory. Mr. Ed.
M. White, a son of Clerk White of
Gainesville, after moving to Athens
to take a position a few years ago
continued to hold his place on the
city council there and did so for sev
eral months after he had moved to
Athens. Now the city engineer of
Gainesville has named Capt. Barnett,
city engineer of Athens, as his con
sulting authority.
Former Hardware Drummer of Atlanta
Burned to Death; Cigar Caused Fire
(Special to The Banner.)
Atlanta, G*„ Jan. 17.—Mr. Ander
son R. I-ogan of 193 Cleburne avenue,
one of the best known traveling men
of Atlanta, met his death this after
noon from burning. HI* clothing
caught fire from the red hot ashes of
s cigar which dropped from hit fin
gers. The clothing biased Immediate
ly and from the fearful burna Mr. Lo
gan died in a few hour*. He waa fif
ty-five years old and had been an In
valid for the past year or mere. His
aged mother was also seriously b >rn-
ed in her efforts to save him and her
Injuries may yet prove fatal.
Mr. I-ogan waa several years ago
lu the hardware business in Gaines
ville and went on the road after the
dissolution of the firm of which he
was a member. He traveled for years
for the King Hardware Company of
Atlanta and Athens was for a while
In hie territory. Many people in this
city knew him.
Edgawood Av*. When Land Was
Cheap,
When William S. Finch, an old
negro tailor, well known in Atlanta,
died a short while ago he was worth
from 312,000 to $15,000. Most of the
roperty, consisting of a lot on Edge-
wood avenue, that Finch bought many
years ago when that busy thorough
fare was known as Pitts’ alley. It
has a frontage of 125 feet, but Finch
got it for less than 1300. The value
of the property became known when
Ida heirs filed application for letters
of administration.—Constitution.
The above will be of intereat to
many of the older citizens of Athens,
where the prosperous colored man
got his start after the war. He be
longed in the alavery times to the
Lumpkin family and went as the aer-
vant of the young men In the civil
war. After the war he went to At
lanta, entered business, was for some
years on the council, and died wealthy
for one of his race a few days ago.
Chicago, Jan. 17.—Tile backers of
Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Don
ald Mann., recently knighted for their
achievements In railway building in
Canada, prove to have been • Chicago
men. - For the honors confered upon
them for services to their country
grateful acknowledgement has been
made by both builders of the Canad
ian Northern railway to certain mil
lionaires and hanks of Chicago which
believed in western Canada's future,
in the second transcontinental rail
way which Mackezle and Mann pro
posed to build and in the builders
themselves.
This faith was baeked up quietly
with many Chicago millions. The
success of Mackenzie and Mann has
put many added millions back into
the pockets of Chicago men. and
seme of the same original backers
when they were poor are their asso
ciates in gigantic railway, timber, and
mining enterprises now that they are
rich. The honor of their knighthood
is therefore in a measure conferred
upon Chicago men.
The conquest by which Sir William
Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann
achieved knighthood from King
George V. was gigantic. They were
created knight commanders of (he
order of St. Michael end St. George
(K. C. M. G.) for building railway
which the grain of western p rovinecs
can be transported to the Atlantic
(and across the Atlantic in Canadian
Northern steamships) from the re
gions in which the Hudson Bay Com
pany ruled supreme. They are the
potentates of nearly 5,000 miles or
railways, of a line of ocean steam
ships, of traction systems, of Iron
mines and bla«|f furnaces, of ore
docks, of empires of coal lands and
timber lands, a long list of town
sites on the prairie, steamboats on
the lakes and power systems In On
tario, and an acreage of gold mines
in northern British Columbia that
alone out-values the fondest dreams
of Croesus. In nearly all of these
things Chicago men and Chicago cap
ital have shared the risks and shared
the profits.
Among the Chicago men are Louis
I'. Swift and John J. Mitchell.
Success in a big way has come to
fruit for both men during the last
twelve years. T hey were then con
tractors. Both were born In Ontario.

Yesterday at the regular monthly

Instructed to proceed with the work
of his office for the year. He was
provided with the necessary books
and receipts and will begin actively
cn the work of collecting the road
tax for the year 1911 from those citi

Atlanta and Finances.
Atlanta, Oa.—This is the time of
year when city authorities are stand
ing over the city exchequer counting
the coins with a view- to distributing
them among the various department
that are to be supported during th
ensuing year. This peering process,
while the council is not blind to the
demands seems to have brought about
the keenest disappointment on ail
sides. The fact of the matter la the
effort to make one dollar do the work
of three In city funds Is a very dis
heartening one.
It appears that the city departments
will be given about half of what they
have asked. The teachers will get
only one-third of the desired increase,
the city parks are given even less.
The finance committee couldn’t do
better Is the only explanation that it
makes.
The great army of the city’s cleri
cal force asked for raises but will
get none.
STATE COMPANIES
MUST TOE THE MARK
Insurance Men Will Have ts Make
Reports in Detail.
In making their semi-annual reports
to the governor for the last half of
1910, insurance companies doing busi
ness in this state will be required to
conform strictly to the letter of the
law, according to Secretary A. H.
Ulm, who is also insurance clerk of
the governor’s office.
The law requires that the January
reports shall he made out In detail by
the insurance companies, hut allows
a summary to be made In the June
report. In the past the companies
have summarized hath the semi-an
nual reports, but this year they will
be made to toe the mark.
“If both the semi annual reports are
merely summarized, they are abso
lutely worthless." said Secretary Ulm,
'and the companies will be required
to detail their statements their year
In the reports which are due within
sixty days after January 1.”
Up to date Secretary Uulm has re
ceived only one report, but that war
returned because it did not comply
with the law in the matter of giving
a detailed atatement.
Teachers' Salrles.
Atlanta, Ga.—-Discussion pro and
con. but largely pro, goes on over the
question of raising the salaries of the
teachers of the Atlanta public schools.
What Is council going to do about It?
That Is a question which has been
asked by practically every person in
Atlanta who Is in any degree Interest
ed In the schools. The finance com
mittee, it appears, recommended a
slight Increase but It was so small
that It ts looked upon. In view of the
agitation, about this raise, as an Insult
to the intelligence of Atlanta's over
worked teachers.
Dissatisfaction I* certainly ram
pant among the teacher* as well as
the school authorities over the treat
ment that has been accorded the
movement to raise the teachers pay.
It has been intimated that all the
teachers at least that large majority
who are members of the Atlanta
Teachers' Association may go out on
a strike unless something Is done.
That would be a pretty pickle and
would mean, of coursp, that the doors
of every school In Atlanta would be
eloied. The teachers, however, may
not go that far.
Of course there Is another side to
the question. For instance Judge Jno.
S. Candler, vice chairman at the fl
nance committee, declares that It
would bankrupt the city If the teach
ers were given more pay. He says
they have had their salaries Increas
ed more than firemen or policemen.
Ar.d there you are.

Atlanta, Jan. 17.—Senatorial gos
sip Is now drifting around Hon. C.
Murphy- Candler, a member of the
state railroad commission and for
many years a member of the general
assembly from DeKalb.
Many politicians are Inclined to
the belief that the Hoke Smith fac
tion will put him forward in the ef
fort to beat Senator Jos. M., Terrell.
And It is generally conceded, even
by some of the friends of Senator
Terrell, that Murphy Candler is
about the strongest available man
that faction could put forward
As the time draws_on, it seems to
become more and more doubtful that
Hoke Smith will make the race for
the senatorship.
Ho has unquestiondbly heard the
reports which come from various
sections of the state as have others,
to the effect that this or that mem
her of the legislature while indorsing
his politics, will refuse to vote for
him for senator, because they feel
that, having been elected governor,
he should servo his term in that of
fice and go to the senate later on.
These members, at the same time,
or a number of them, say they will
vote for a Hoke Smith man for the
senate but not for Mr. Smith.
The indications are, therefore, be
coming stronger every day that Mr,
Smith will not be a candidate.
It Is difficult to believe that the
Smith faction would support Con
gressman AV. G. Brantley, though
there have been some vague reports
to that effect: and that faction un
doubtedly realizes that it would be
at a decided disadvantage In backing
either Congressman T. AV. Hardwick
or Judge AV A. Covington of Moul
trie.
The suggestion, therefore, of Rail
road Commissioner Candler baa the
earmark* of being the most likely
solution of the problem.
Mr. Candler himself has nothing
to say on the subject though he has
quietly admited to friends that he
would not dodge the senatorship
hould it be thrown toward him.
•Mr. Candler, however, has had the
gubernatorial bee buzzing around
him at a lively rate, and has here
tofore openly admitted that he pro
posed to he a candidate fbr governor
In 191L
Of course if by any fortuitous cir
cumstances or by a lucky turn of the
political roulette, he should land in
the senate, that would leave the field
for governor open to a little argu
ment.
Mr. Candler’s service in the legis
lature has made him exceptionally
Btrong. AVhilea politician of pro
nounced Hoke Smith views, he has
nevertheless been more liberal both
in word anff deed than any of the
other leaders of that faction In
Georgia politics.
If, on the other hand, he should
tun for the senate and lose out, or
I' he should be left out of considera
tion in that contest, he will unques
tionably be found In the running
when the time comes around for the
election of another governor.
Atlanta. Jan. 17.—The announce
ment that Governor Brown had de
cided to draw his warrant on Mon
day, January 16, for the total amount
of the state pension fund, $7,140,000,
was construed by many of the old
veterans to mean that the pensions
would be paid immediately the gov
ernor's signature had been Set to
the document.
Consequently quite a large number
of them who labored tinder that im
pression went to the ordinary’s office
bright and early Monday, thinking
their money would be there awaiting
them. The same thing happened
again today as ifiany still had not
reached an understanding of the mat
ter.
•It is reported that there was a
similar belief on the part of veterans
In other counties of the state and
that not a few of them went to the
offices of the ordinaries in the belief
that the money was ready for them.
But there ts a vast difference be
tween preparedness to draw the war
rant for the full amount of penalon
money and the actual paying of it.
AVhlle the money Is In the treasury
and the governor was ready to pay
it out. Pension Commissioner J. AA’.
Lindsey was not ready, because th’
ordinaries of several counties, ten or
» dozen in various sections of the
slate, had' failed to Rend in their
rolls.
Commissioner Lindsey now ex
pects to get In the laat of the rolls
by Ibe latter part of next week so
that he will be able to mall the pen
sion checks to the ordinaries of all
the countlea not later than Februsi-v
1. and perhaps a few days earlier,
ft will all depend on how soon the
delinquent ordinaries get in the re
maining rolls.
In any event the pensioners may
look for the checks to be in the
hands of the ordinaries ready for
distribution by the beginning of the
coming month.
The state will pay out In pensions
this year $20(1,000 more than ever
before, this additional amount having
been appropriated to take care of
the new pensioners who come in un
der the service pension amendment
in the state constitution.
This will be the first time the
state's pension payments have ever
gone over a million dollar! In a sin
gle year.
Forty-slx year* after the cloae ot
the war the state's pension roll con
tinues to Increase, and the indica
tion* are that next year it will ba
still larger as the result of addition
al payments under the service pen
sion set.
There were nearly 3,000- applicants
for pensions under the service pen-
sipn act this year who could not be
paid because the appropriation was
limited to $200,000 (or that purpose.
Most of those applicants have good
rases. Their applications are in
legal form and properly witnessed.
Tbui It will be up to the atate to
make good to them another year.
