While the total number of case* han
dled In 1912 was 671. a heavy increase
over the previous year, during the
flint quarter of 1913 the cases handled
were 301, nearly half of last year's
total.
This Increase has attracted the a f -
tentlon of the Chamber of Commerce

seek to secure passage of a state-wide
dog-muzzling law. William .T. Low-
enstein, chairman of the committee,
has written to the authorities in Lon-

zling law enforced there.
In 1908 the number of cases trea;-
ed was 216, in 1909 it Jumped to 449,
while 1910 with 462 and 1911 with

in Argentina was a help to the eorn
market at Liverpool.
Oats were % to ’ 4 e low-er in sympathy
with the other grains.
Hogs were weak to 6c lower, but in
the face of this the provision market
was stronger, owing 10 smaller offerings
and oversold condition.
Considerable pressure was to be seen
in the wheat market during the last
hour of the session, and the selling of
May was persistent. The crowd which
deals in wheat Is mainly bullish and be
lieves the market is to sell much higher
and this seems to intimidate the bears.

Southern Courts for
Rich, Critics Assert
Sociological Congress Makes Plea for
Administration of Justice
Instead of Law.
Charges that courts in Southern
States are partial to the wealthy and
to whites, rather than negroes, are
contained in a statement of creed
adopted by the conference on race
problems of the Sociological Congress
at Its concluding session.
"We plead for courts of Justice in
stead of mere courts of law," says
the resolution. "We recognize that
the South is no exception, in that Its
courts of justice are often more fa
vorable to the rich man than to the
poor
Lynching was condemned as the
worst form of lawlessness.

Protection for young women tra,r*
el-Ts was th** subject of a confeienc#
held in Atlanta to-day, the first of its .
kind ever held in America, following
which an organization was formed as
an important part of the social work
mapped out by the sociological con
ference.
The Travelers’ Aid, possibly the
greatest check to white slave traffic,
Is regarded by experts as one of the
most advanced movements in behalf
of the young women of the country.
It was pointed out to-day by several
si ikers that hundreds of young
gins, arriving in large cities, are Im
mediate victims of agents of the ne
farious trade, who lure them from
their intended destinations.
The plan of the organization is te
maintain at every railway station ia
the cities a bureau of information for
the assistance of girls who are alone
and to keep a number of watchers on
duty at all times to prevent them
falling into evil hands.
According to the speakers to-day,
there have been hundreds of cases fn
New York, Chicago and other of the
larger centers in which young women
have been saved from lives of mis
ery and shame by the work of these
watchers, who are supported by social
uplift organizations. In addition, sev
eral convictions for white slavery
have resulted from the work of these
men and women.
The purpose of the organization
fonmed to-day is to extend the work
Into all the cities of the country, par
ticularly In the South, the section
covered by the work of tdie Southern
Sociological Congress. O. L. Steele,
of Pensacola and Mobile, is chairman,
and Orin C. Baker, of New York, aec-
retary. Mr. Baker D-day gave a de
tailed account of the -work being done
in New^ York and the valuable ato
rendered the police in tracing white
slavers.
A telegram received In Atlanta an
nounced the death, in Roswell, N.
Mex„ of Mrs. A. *E. Campbell, for
many years a resident of Atlanta,
and a month ago a visitor here at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
T. T. Stevens. Mrs. Campbell left
here to visit another daughter, Airs.
E. C. McCord, and it was at Mrs.
McCord’s home that she died The
interment will tie at the family bu
rial ground in Carson, Ala.

MRS. PHILIP DODD DYING
FROM APOPLECTIC STROKE
Mrs. Philip Dodd, prominent At
lanta woman, is critically ill at her
apartments in the Aragon Hotel to
day as a result of an apoplectic stroke
sustained while boarding an elevator
in the Forsyth Building late yester
day. Physicians announce she has
little chance of recovery.
Mrs. Dodd, who is wealthy and has
traveled extensively, recently re
turned from a t.rlp to California with
Mrs. H. E. Smart.
Work was begun to-day on a new
census of the school children of At
lanta by which the Board of Educa
tion expects to secure an additional
$25,000 from the State school fund.
The State apportions $3.50 to schools
for each child between 6 and 18 years,
and members of the board declare
that the census will show there are
more than 10,000 more school children
in Atlanta than the enrollment of
23,350.
The contract was let to E. B. Burns
at 4 1-2 cents per capita.
When it was shown that the course
of study in the schools can not be
changed until 1914, the fight of James
L. Key and Dan W. Green to drop
Greek from the course came to in
