No Attack Was Made by the Chief j Veterinarian's Report Discloses
of Police—Editor Makes His Astounding Facts—Tuberculo-
Position Clear.
Mr
Th* following letter from
heaver* and the interview w
(Mark Howell explain theimclvea:
Atlanta, Ga.. May 27.
My attention hn.s been called to
an article in the Sunday papers
in which an interview with me
makes it appear that 1 whs at
tacking Mr. (Mark Howell person
ally and his policy with The Con
stitution.
I only repeated the conversation
1 had with him on the next day
after he returned from Panama
on about March 1. this year.
1 meant no reflection on Mr.
Howell, but only had reference to
certain local rejwrtw In his paper,
and he now assures me that there
was no intention on hie part to
discredit the work which 1 have
h. en trying to do in this city, ami
that the article that appeared in
the reportorial columns of Tim
« onstitution was without his
knowledge unri consent, and that
it was not his intention nor doc*
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. Howell, whom l have al
ways regarded, >nd now esteem,
as an exemplary citizen and jour
nalist who hokis the merited
confidence of the public, as he
does of my department and of
mvself.
J. L BEAVERS;
< Miief of Police.
In reference to Chief Beavers'
statement Ml. Howell said:
"During my absence in Panama In
January a police raid was made ort
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 1 returned from Panama the
C’hief con>plained of the local report
referred to. I explained to him that
nothing was further from our Inten
tion than to discredit his w’ork. and
that following The Constitution’s oft-
lepeated commendation of his high
senae of duty in endeavoring to en
force the law. he would have our cor
dial support to’ that end.
"He thanked me. recalling the fart
that two days after the houses were
closed 1 had sent for him to te.ll him
that his attitude would have The Con
stitution's support.
"Next morning—September 26 The
< 'onstltutlon's leading editorial. ‘A
Wholesome Example,’ unqualifiedly
approved the (Miief as 'an official with
the nerve and the 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 segregated district, nor the
spread <»f Its attendant evil in other
direction#. In my talk with 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 phases of the problem.
"I think the (Miief Is doing the best
can. and he -hould have the sup
port of all good citizen# in his ef
forts.”

sis Menace to Health.
The State of Georgia is losing
$6,04)0.000 annually from tick infesta
tion.
The lo^MCs from the ravages of hug
choUm reached $1,000,000 in 1912.
Tuberculosis in cattle is spreading
through the State with alarming ra
pidity and threatens to infect every
herd.
Slaughter house conditions are in a
deplorable state in moat part# of
Georgia.
These are the startling facts re
vealed in the annual report of State
Veterinarian Peter F Bkhnsen, issued
Wednesday.
For the amelioration of thes«e con
dition* Dr. Bahnscn 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.
"(>ur losses from tick infestation,"
reads the report, "are under present
conditions in excess of $6,000,000 an
nually. All of this enormous waste
could he 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 increased aid.
"Hog cholera cost the State not
less than $1,000,000 in 1912. or ap
proximately 20 per cent of the total
value of the hogs owned In this
State.
"M'uberculosis Is prevalent to a con
siderable extent among the dairy cat
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 it» 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 is 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 per cent
of our slaughter house# Is a crying
shame. It demands rigid State su
pervision.
"Wi* should have an appropriation
of not less than $30,000 for 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.”
