vith Mr.
s boon failed to
an article in tne Sunday papers
in which an interview with me
makes It appear (hat 1 whs at-
tni'klflf Mr < Mark H«.wMI person
ally and hie policy with The Fon-
stitution
I only repeated the conversation
1 had with him on the next day
after he returned from Panama
on about March I. this year.
1 meant no reflection on Mr.
Howell, bur only had reference to
certain local reports in his paper,
and he now assures me that there
was no intention on his part to
discredit the work which I have
h*en trying: to do In this city, and
that the article that appeared In
t he reportorial columns of 3 he
Constitution was without his
knowledge and consent, and that
it was not his Intention nor does
he approve of anything that
would In the least hinder or dis
credit the work that the police
department has ben trying to
carry out
I would regret very much In
deed to have any utterance of
mine construed into an attack up
on Mr. Tiewell, whom I have al
ways regard'd, >nd now esteem,
as an exemplary citizen and Jour
nalist who holds the merited
eonfldence of the public, as he
does of ray department and of
myself.
.1, L. BEAVERS.
«*hief of Police.
In reference to t’hiuf Beavers
statement Mr. Howell said:
"During my absence in Panama In
January a police raid was made orl
a certain downtown rooming hotel.
The Constitution next morning lo
cally reported the affair and the fact
that a man and his wife were sub
jected to undue treatment, with com
ment from the inadvertent victims
and the manager of the hotel.
"When I returned from Panama the
Chief complained of tile local report
referred *o. I explained to him that
nothing was further from our inten
tion than to discredit his work, and
that following The Constitution’s oft-
lepeateil < oipmein'ati"n of his high
MM of dut> m endesvorteg <•» en*
force the law, he would have our cor
dial support to that end.
"He thanked me. recalling the fact
that two days after the houses were
closed I had sent for him to toll him
that his attitude would have The Con
stitution's support.
Next mornine -September 26 The
< 'onstitution's leading editorial. A
Wholesome Example,’ unqualifiedly
approved the < 'hlef as ‘an official with
the nerve and th • courage to enforce
the law.’ stating that ‘he has set a
singularly wholesome example of a
blunt Interpretation of duty.’
"1 am still of the opinion that no
good citizen would invite the return
of the segivgated district, nor the
spread of its attendant evil in other
direction*. In my talk w ith the Chief
1 expressed my doubt as to his ability
to Absolutely eliminate the evil, and
while the segregated district has been
closed we are still wrestling with
other pmusos of the problem.
'T think the A’hlef is doing the best
he can. and he should have the sup
port of all good citizens in his ef
forts.”
The State of Georgia Is losing
1 $6,000,000 annually from tick Infesta
tion.
The loeses from the ravages of hog
cholera reached $1,000,000 in 1012.
Tuberculosis in cattle is spreading
through the State with alarming ra
pidity and threatens to infect every
herd.
Slaughter house condition* are in a
deplorable state in moet parts of
Georgia
These are the startling facts re-
rt»M m tkt tMual Hfwrt <-f flfcat•
Veterinarian Peter K. Rahnsen, issued
Wednesday.
For the amelioration of thcee con
ditions Dr. Bahnsen recommends an
appropriation of $30,000. He cites the
conservation of human health as the
absolute and pressing necessity for
the expenditure of this amount.
Losses Are Enormous
"Our loesen from tick infestation."
reads the report, "are under present
condltlona in excess of $6,000,000 an
nually. All of this enormous waste
c6ald be stopped in a few years with
a sufficient fund to employ cattle In
spectors. and by appealing to the
counties and the Federal Government
for inereansed aid.
"Hog cholera cost the State not
less than $1,000,000 in 1912, or ap
proximately 20 per cent of the total
\alue of the hogs owned In this
State.
"Tuberculosis is prevalent to a con
siderable extent among the dairy c-U-
tle of the State. The milk of tuber
culous cattle is dangerous to man and
the health of our people is In the bal
ance. We have taken this matter In
hand with the limited means avail
able and the public is anxious that
our services along this line be ex
tended into a State-wide movement.
Our greatest need in this* matter Is
more funds for extending the work.
Slaughter Houses Menace.
"Slaughter house conditions are
extremely bad in most sections of
the State and the public ts frequent- ;
ly fed on meat not tit for human con
sumption. Animals with communi
cable' diseases are often slaughtered
and sold without restriction and the
sanitary conditions of fully 70 percent
of our slaughter houses is a crying
shame. It demands rigid State su- (
pervision.
"We should have an appropriation
of not less than $30,000 fof this work.
It is essential In conserving the health
of the people that their food products
be obtained from healthy animals
and handled and distributed under
conditions that will prevent subse
quent contamination or putrefaction."
