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. TDV Swissco I n I Hair Remedy .
