GIRL FAINTS WHEN
SHE RECEIVES WIRE
THAT SHE MUST WED
SYRACUSE, N. Y.. Oct. 17.—" Fra

ry him immediately."
When this telegram was handed to a
fashionably gowned girl, who had reg
istered as Erances Daiton, of New York,
at the < mondaga hotel, she dropped in
a dead faint.
Much mystery surrounds the case.
After the young woman was revived,
she took the next train for Rochester,
from whence the telegram had been
sent.
Miss Dalton came to the hotel on
Saturday with a young man of 22. who
was said to have been a Cornell stu
dent. They dined together, and the
nian left her early in the evening. After
that Miss Dalton kept to her room until
called to the desk to receive the tele
gram which caused her to collapse.

ATLANTA FIFTH CITY IN
HOMICIDES; GUN - TOTER
AND NEGROES BLAMED
Promiscuous pistol toting and the
. extensive negro population are the two
greatest causes assigned by Recorder
Broyles and Police Chief Beavers for
the South leading the nation in homi
cides. as shown in statistics compiled
by the census bureau.
These figures place Atlanta fifth in
the list of important American cities
in the record of bloodshed—figures
based on population. Memphis heads
the list with a percentage of 47.1. Then
comes Charleston, Savannah. New Or
leans and Atlanta, this city with a per
centage of 17.1. While the population,
of course, is much greater and the ac
tual number of homicides greater, both
New York and Chicago have a much
smaller average than Atlanta, Chicago
showing 8.4. and New York 5.1.
Milwaukee, the city in which Theo
dore Roosevelt was shot, has the best
record of aqy of the thirty big cities
shown, its percentage being only 1.7.
11 Slayers Now in Tower.
As a testimonial of Atlanta's record,
nine men are now confined in the Tow
er charged with murder. Three of this
number are under sentence of death —
Robert L. Clay, white, and Ben Green
and Oscar Dewberry, colored. Two
other prisoners from other counties,
charged with murder, also are held in
the Tower for safe keeping, making a
total of eleven.
"There are two gfeat reasons why the
South leads in the record of homicides
—promiscuous pistol toting and our
large negro population," said Judge
Broyles. "The habit of pistol toting is
, worse in the South than any other sec
tion of the country, and this naturally
breeds murder. And then we have so
many negroes in this section—a prob
lem with which the other sections of
the country are not confronted. The
low class of negroes carry pistols and
other deadly weapons, and don't hesi
tate to use them in drunken brawls and
rows. This, I believe, is really the
greatest cause that runs up the South’s
murder figures."
Chief Beavers advanced the same
opinion as the recorder.
Figures Put Atlanta Fifth.
"It’s the pistol toter and the crimi
nal class of negroes that combine to
make such an unenviable record for the
South." said the chief.
