accused Aldenran. Mayor Woodward
to-day declared:
"Nothing but, exoneration by the
Council's committee could be expect
ed when members of Council knew
of these conditions for months and
never took any official notice of them.
#The committee is forced to clear the
accused to protect Council.”
Chairman John S. Candler, alone of
the'members of th<? probe committee,
was undecided to repudiate the
'•halves, of corruption of Alderman
John E. McClelland at the conclusion
of the investigation last night. He
said ho intended to consider thor
oughly all tin* evidence again. The

his actions were not illegal.
Alderman F. J. Spratling admitted

Alderman I. X. Ragsdale’s defense
\vas that, while he was a member of
the firm of J. R. Lawton & Co., the
'selling of stock to the city by this

Alderman Spratling told the com
mittee how some of his friends in the
beer business came to his rescue when
he was hard pressed for funds just
before his election to Council.
“My indebtedness reached $12,000,”
he said. ‘’While I have paid up one-
third of it during the last two years.

He tUm turned on his accuser, Al-

“Alderman McClelland came to my

to get me to leave the city just be

that he indorsed notes for $800 for Al

Leading all American cities in the
decrease of infant mortality for the
past ten years, Atlanta's claims to
being one of the Healthiest places in
the country were strengthened by sta
tistics of the United States Census
Bureau, announced to-day.
Atlanta made the greatest showing,
with a decreased percentage of 55.
Tills was 26 points better than the
next nearest city. Indianapolis, which
had a percentage of 39.
Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo
gist, attributes the decrease to the
never-ending campaign of various
medical and educational associations
of the city, in which the care of in
fants has been the most important
feature.
"Every effort has been put forth in
Atlanta to decrease mortality, espe
cially among infants, and the fact
that Atlanta has shown the greatest
decrease is gratifying.” said Dr.
Smith. “Great attention has been
paid to the milk supply of Atlanta,
which is such a vital factor in the
infant’s life. I feel that we have con
ditions under as perfect system, if
rot better, than any other city in the
counti:v, ;ind tMjg \i • dyne > *
Citizens Educated to Health.
“The prime factor has been the ed
ucation Of the people generally to the
proper care of children and of them
selves, which has been carried on by
the various associations. We are rab
idly coming to the Chinese method of
i>! of.ie paying doctors* to keep them
well. The local medical association
lias made a long and .consistent cam
paign to teach people how to t care for
themselvc s. The, showing must be
gratifying t*» th i^iysiciars of Atlan
ta.
• The percentage of infant mortality
In* Atlanta is continuing to decrease
each year, showing the low death rate
is not the result of a lucky year, but
that it results from conditions devel
oped by hard work.
“In 1907 the percentage of deaths
of infants under 2 years was 22.2 per
cent of the whole; in 1908 it was 21.4
per cent; in 1909 it went back to 22
per cent: 1910 was 22; in 1911 it de
creased to 19.07. and in 19J2 a de
crease to 18.06 was had. This decrease
figured along with a general decrease
of the total death rate.”
Atlanta Leads Country.
The Census Bureau issued this bul
letin:
The»infant and yind mortality of
the ct nsus registration area of fhe
United States for 1911 shows an en-
eouraging^falling off in the infant
death rate §iqcc f9'J0. - \
Trie death rate for infants under 1
year of age was 112.9 per 1,000, or
about eight times the death rate at
all ages. Pram 1 to 4 years the rate
was 11.8 per 1,000. and for the first
five years 32.9 per 1.000.
The census shows that there has
been a great reduction in the infant
and child mortality cf recent years,
due, doubtless, to the persistent cam
paign which has been conducted
(gainst ignorance in the care of chil
dren. The decrease in the death rate
of infants under 1 year of age since
1900 Was 19 per rent.
The larg< •- , rMative decrease was in
Atlanta, 55 per cent, followed by those
for Indianapolis, 39 per cent, ^and
Washington, Paterson and Memphis,
each 38 per cent.

When the Coroner's inquest was resumed late this afternO'
it scented more than probable that the plan outlined earlier in i
day by Solicitor Dorsey that the State would, fo-Tuorrow or lioi
thereafter, take up the inquiry and perhaps call a special sessic
of the Grand Jury, to investigate all of the facts in the case, woj
lie followed out.
A new arrest was made in
the l’hagan ease this afternoon.
Detectives arrested James Con
nolly, it .negro employed at tile
National Pencil Company fac
tory.
Uonnolly is a sweeper in the fac
tory. The arrest was made on private
information given over the telephone
to the police that Uonnolly had been
seen washing some clothing in the
factory. He is about 30 years old.
Connolly, at the police station, told
the detectives that he was washing
his shirt because he was summoned
to the inquest this afternoon. The
police were Inclined to attach /little
importance to fils arrest.
Newt Lee. the night watchman it
the National Pencil Company’s fac

“The investigation has been hesi

“All leads given the polite have not

much more to this thing that has not

mystery will remain unsolved.”
Chief of Detectives Lanford, follow

that the v^Jtchnuui hud made no con
fession. or part of one, implicating
himself, but that he had#divulged facts
which w ill tend to lift the veil' of
