Pinkerton de- tectives "ill leave this city tomorrow morning to bring Smith back from the frontier line at Juarez, where he is now confined. L Trying For Year To Get Him Back. Ever since Smith fled the city last June he has been pursued by United States authorities and private detec tive? representing the depositors in the bank he wrecked. When he was first arrested on the strength of an indict ment found against him here, the Mex ican government sent him to the prison at Chihuahua, but they refused to rec ognize the extradition papers that offi cers took down there to return him for trial, because Just about that time the Mexican government was very much broken up by the revolution. Since August the man was kept there in spite of every effort to bring about his extradition. The authorities at Washington were powerless; the best that could be done waa an agreement with the Mexican government to hold the man in prison. Lately, since the Madero government has gotten the re volt under control, the case was taken up again by Ambassador Wilson. Mexico Finally Agrees to Give Him Up. Smith was removed from his first prison to Juarez Just across the line from El Paso. Texas, and negotiations for the honoring of the extradition pa pers were renewed. Ambassador Wil son announced the Anal success of his efforts in a telegram which reached At lanta today. It says that the requistion will not only be honored, but that the Mexicans will bring Smith to the bor der tine prepared to turn him over to the American authorities as soon as the legal papers are presented. It is expected thaWSmith will be tn Atlanta and jailed hrre awaiting trial within two weeks. New Cotton Scheme Is Turned Down By Southern Governors Most of Them Won’t Come to George Dole Wadley’s Congress, Although Invited by Brown. The Southern Cotton congress, sched uled for Atlanta on Friday and called by Governor Brown at the solicitation of James Dole Wadley, representing various Georgia cotton factors, has not provoked enthusiasm. Governor Brown said today that but one governor. William H. Mann, of Vir ginia, out of the fourteen invited had signified his intention of attending. Governor Brown has received answers from eleven Southern governors, and out of that number only Governor Mann will be present. The states of Louisi ana and South Carolina have not an swered the invitations. The governor said today that he hesi tated ror several weeks before calling the governors together to discuss a scheme to hold cotton for a better price. He told Wadley, who opportuned him to act. that he was not sure but that such a scheme would be in violation to the Sherman anti-trust law. 'Aadley Informed the governor that 'his matter had been thrashed out by attorneys and the cotton factors had been informed that it was legitimate. aTthTtheaters FORSYTH BILL DRAWS USUAL LARGE CROWDS ' ’ n * the best vaudeville entertaln- Tr;Cr ’ that has been offered theater- * ’ ! n summer time in /Xtlanta is at ’ ng the capacity of the busy For- s ’' : -it all performances.

PRICE Os GAS TO HEAVYUSERSCUT Reduction Affects Only Patrons Who Consume 10.000 or More Cubic Feet Monthly. The Atlanta Gas Light Company to day announced a reduction In the price of gas to consumers whose meters show a monthly consumption of 10,000 or more cubic feet of gas per month. In pocketbook terms, this will affect those whose gas bills are $lO or more per month. The reduction will apply to the July sales of gas and will show on the bills rendered August 1. They will be ac cording to the sliding scale which is in effect almost universally in cities where rates otherwise than the flat rate exist. The monthly sliding scale, ef fective In Atlanta July 1, Is as fol lows: Gross Per 1,000 Cu. Ft. First 10,000 cubic feet sl.lO Next 20,000 cubic feet 1.00 Next 20,000 cubic feet .90 Above 50,000 cubic feet .... .80 Discount of Ten Per Cent, A discount of ten per cent per 1,000 cubic feet will be allowed on all bills paid within the discount period, mak ing the bills. Net Per 1.000 Cu. Ft. First 10,000 cubic feet SI.OO Next 20.000 cubic-Teet .90 Next 20.000 cubic feet 80 Above 50,000 cubic feet .70 Officials of the company insist the reduced scale of rates Is not the result of the recent agitations, as the new sliding scale was under advisement be fore the first of these agitations was started. It is declared to be merely a development of the gas Industry along broader business lines. Up and Down Peachtree That’s What They’re All Looking For. A young woman stepped into a Whitehall street drug store and stared at a huge sign for about two minutes. The sign read: 500 Wavs To Be Beautiful. 25 Cfs. I L__ It was evidently the title of a beauty book. The young woman, who was not pretty, but certainly not unbeautiful, seemed lost in mathematical thought for several moments more. The little finger of her right hand worked fever ish figures In the air and there was a stern pucker between her eyebrows. Finally she reached in her purse and extracted a penny. Approaching the clerk, she gave him the copper piece and said: “Show me one way, please, and keep the change.” In the language of the day, the clerk was flabbergasted. They Come as Fast As They Leave. When is Atlanta not Atlanta? Now —say the railroad men and mer chants of the city. According to rh»- representatives of several important roads w’hich lead into the city, more than 50 per cent of the city's perma nent population is out of the city just at present. The majority of these are, of course, spending the whole or frag mentary parts of the summer at the various resorts stretched out along the coasts or In the mountains or at coun try homes. A smaller part is away on business. Meanwhile, however, the city’s popu lation—the crowd on Peachtree street, for Instance, has not decreased notice ably. The reason is that as fast as a native leaves the city some one steps in from another city to take his place. The most of these come for a few days’ shopping trip, while others come for extended summer stays. Atlanta being a popular resort for those w-ho are not natives. So it is that Atlanta is truly not her self. but a composite of Georgia and the South. The difference is easily no ticed. in the shops, say the merchants. FATHERDFROCK HILL PLAN PREDICTS 15-CENT COTTON AUGUSTA, GA., July 10.—John J. Anderson, of Rock Hill. S. C., the orig inator of the Rock Hill plan" for the reduction of cotton acreage in the South, while in Augusta made the pre diction that cotton will bring 15 cents by next October.

PREFERS BEING ATLANTA EXILE TO PAYING A FINE James Freeman, W'ho was before Re corder Broyles only a few days ago, to day offered to become an exile from At lanta to escape a fine in police court. Judge Broyles declined to accept the prop osition, and imposed a fine of $15.75, or thirty days. On his first appearance in court. Freeman was bound over on the charge of vagrancy, but was freed on bond. At an early hour this morning, he created a scene, it is said, by leaping from a cab and attempting to escape without paying his fare. THE. ATLAVTA GEORGIAN AND NO r B. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1912. Asks Women Police to Guard Girls PERIL IN DANCE HAI_LS I fl ■ ■\ ■ a ■ I'' ' f \\ Os W ; / • / \\ /\\ '/ t\\ few \ ; r i .Mb f * v > f F W A // Miss Margaret Laing, assistant probation officer of the .juve nile court, who today gives to The Georgian her ideas on social needs of the city. She is for women policemen, dance hall super vision. and the establishment of social centers in school houses. Miss Margaret Laing, Assist ant Probation Officer, Pro poses Radical Reforms. “The dance halls are perhaps our greatest trouble. They are part of the 'girl problem.’ Dance hall inspectors are needed. “A woman policeman or two w’ould be a great thing for At lanta. They would find their field principally around some of the picture shows. “What to do with the girls is the greatest puzzle. We have a county reformatory’ for bad boys, but there is no place for the girls. 5Ve need a reformatory for girls, and we must have it. “Converting the school houses into social centers would help a great deal. Why shouldn't the people whose taxes build them en joy dances and games and enter tainments in them at night? Why should they' remain idle and dark except for a few hours every day?" Proposing women police for duty around picture shows and other places where young girls go and a super vision of Atlanta dance halls by city authorities, urging tHe use of public school buildings as social ce-nters for dances and amusements of th” neigh borhood. and stressing the need of a reformatory for wayward girls, Miss Margaret Laing, assistant probation officer of the juvenile»court. told a re porter for The Georgian today that the girl problem was the most difficult of all those faced by' the new tribunal. Miss Laing is no new-comer in the field 'of sociological work. For several years she was one of the skilled work ers of the Associated Charities, and she joined the juvenile court more than a year ago. W. W. Tindall, chief proba tion officer, places great dependence upon her knowledge of human nature. Young Girls the Greatest Problem. "Yes. I think this work is fine for a woman," said Miss Laing, with a smile. "That is. if she is the right woman. Os course it wouldn't suit every woman But I like 11. "You ask what’s the great problem before us. It is ’girls.’ Young girls around fourteen years old. We can't tell what to do with them when they’re wayward. We have no reformatory, you know, so we must turn them loose or send them to Milledgeville--the two extremes. "These dance halls are causing us a great deal of worry. No, 1 can't sav they are conducted in a disorderly manner. Rut the city should provide an inspector for them and see that they are kept straight. "I believe a woman policeman could do a great deal to improve matters around the picture shows and dance halls. She could reach girls where a man couldn’t; eould show them their dangers and persuade them to guard themselves Poorer Girls Need More Amusement. "1 don't say the dance hails should be closed The girls of the poorer classes have little enough to amuse them now. They need more pleasure, not to be robbed of what they have. Oh, I wish the city itself could open a great amusement hall, wittT dancing and other pleasures, carefully super vised and kept under control. "The city will never do that, per haps. but it could open a dozen neigh borhood social centers in tne -school houses. Why couldn't every’ one of those schools in the suburbs and the poorer districts be brightly lighted at night and thrown open for dances among the boys and girls, the grown men and women of their neighborhood, with good chaperonage by the older persons? Don’t you think the girls would rather dance there, with their friends than uptown at a public dance hall, with strangers? What chance has the working girl to find amusement'’ She must go to the public dances and the picture shows. There's nothing else for her." DON’T GET CAUGHT IF YOU TAKE A SHOT AT GAME OUT OF SEASON According to the state court of ap peals, a hunter, under the provision of the game law of 1911, is not necessarily a person dressed in fashionable hunt ing garb and spending leisure time after game.. Any person who takes a chance shot at game is hunting and is a hunter and if the chance shot be taken out of sea son this huntei is guilty of a violation of the game law. James Robinson was hauling cotton in a field in Worth county last summer and, having a shotgun with him, let fly ala covey of quail. Robinson was a poor shot and missed the birds, but he was fined for violating the game law just the same. Now, the court says that Robinson's fine must stick. POSTOFFICE CLERK.

LOS ANGELES. July 10.—Job Har riman, the first witness of the Darrow defense, was expected to take the stand for further examination when the trial of the Chicago attorney was resumed today. Harriman has already testified that he had never at any time given Darrow $4,000 in currency, as Bert Franklin swore he did. Harriman fur ther stated that there was no safe in Darrow’s office, or in the adjoining room, where Franklin said he went with Darrow to get the money. Harriman said the only safe in the suite was in his office, and that the combination was held by himself, his secretary’ and John R. Harrington. The defense will try to establish a strong suspicion that Har rington unlocked the safe and gave Franklin $4,000, which he had stowed away there In a box which he kept in the safe. Mrs. Darrow is still ill and shows lit tle improvement from the nervous col lapse she suffered a week ago. Judge Hutton held a conference this morning with District Attorney Fred ericks to consider the advisability of securing a new custodian for the Dar row jury.

The Georgia Association of the Deaf has prepared its petition asking the state legislature to move the state school for mutes from Cave Springs to Macon or to establish a school in smith Georgia. The petition also asks that the management of the school be taken from the charge of a permanent board and placed under one elected for four years. The petition is signed by Mrs. C. L. Jackson, Nate A. Gorman and I. H. Marchman. The fight being waged by the asso ciation against the abolishment of the sign system is being opposed by a num ber of mutes. Frank J. Merath, of Macon, in a let ter to The Georgian, condemns sign reading, declaring that it results in mis. education. He took a slap at the action taken by the recent convention of mutes in Atlanta, declaring that it did not represent a majority opinion. Os the two methods, the oral and the man ual, he prefers the oral, but believed much better results could be accom plished by abolishing all special institu tions for the deaf and dumb and train, ing them along with hearing pupils, THE fREOUEIT USE OF THE HUE CONDEMNED WE MUST AGREE THAT IT If BETTER TO SPARE A THOUSAND GUILTY THAN TO HANG ONE INNO- CENT. In the course of a short talk last evening the chief of the staff of United Doctors forcibly expressed his views on the frequent operating in diseases of women. Among other things, he said: “it is not my purpose here to antag onize my surgical brothers, but we too often see brilliant descriptions of hair raising operations with a wonderful survival of the patient. It is a great credit to the profession to have pro duced men with such skill as to enter one’s very vitals and remove the most delicate brgans. Surely we can not bestow too much praise upon men with such marvellous accomplishments. But did you ever stop to think that there might be a patient now and then who, under skilled medical directions, might have been saved such hazardous pro cedure and still have been cured?” We must agree that it is far better to spare a thousand guilty ones than to hang one innocent one. I believe that were we to use sound reasoning and exercise due care, at least some of oitr patients would escape the necessity for an operation. Ido not mean to in fer that ali cases can be treated with out the surgeon, but I do mean to say that a very large majority of spur fe male pelvic affectionscan be so treated as to give the most startling results to both patient and physician. Not more than 50 years ago all these pelvic trou bles were treated by the family physi cian in away that made our ancestors famous, and they were treated with out the use of the knife. When we have a ease of Inflamma tion about the heart or inflammation of the Yungs, were we to pursue the same course as we do with inflamma tion of the uterus or ovaries, cut them out, what would become of our pa tients? Now. were we to treat our fe male troubles as we do our lung trou bles, there is no doubt that our hos pitals today would be less crow'ded and more of our women would be restored to health. It is just this conservative treatment that has made the United Doctors fa mous in our larger cities, and It will be by curing women that have been con demned to the knife by the fr.piily doc tor that will make our Atjgnta office equally famous.
