TO THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK THE GEORGIAN COMPANY ATLANTA GA Comnttraigmtd: 44 Caakwr Here 's the $50 cheek of The Georgian ahd The Sunday American, the first answer to the appeal of the Assoeiated Charities for a fund to buy books and clothing for poor children who are eager for an education, but are kept from school by poverty. Georgian and Sunday American Start Fund With $50 Check. Ten-year old Willie Watson, who lives somewhere on the East side of the Georgia railroad, wants to go to school and learn things. Then he can do something worth while, and his mother and his big sister will not be forced to work all their lives in the factory. But just because mother and sister must work, for little, and because all their money is needed for things to « at and a little to wear and a place to sleep, there is none left for school books and for such clothes that Wil lie, properly clothed, may face his schoolmates without shame. There fore, the boy must stay at home with his two llttler brothers and sisters. It makes him cry sometimes, in spite of all his manly ambitions, to think that school opens so soon as next Monday, and there apears no chance, not the sllghest chance, for him to enter. But Willie is only one of more than two hundred and fifty children of At lanta. Boys and girls of many of the city’s unfortunate families are feeling the pinch of poverty to-day more than if they were without fire or bed clothes in the middle of winter—more than if they were Just hungry. They have not the means to pay even the slender expenses incident to their at tendance at public schools. Books are beyond their reach. In the case of 129 there are even no presentable clothes. Appeal Made to Public. The fact is revealed in an appeal which went out today from the office of Joseph Logan. Superintendent of the Associated Charities of Atlanta, an appeal to the generosity of the public. Not oi.ly money contributions are asked, but gifts of clothes as well. The Georgian and Sunday American has heeded the ap peal, heading the list with a subscription of $50. The Georgian and Sunday Amer ican also will receive cash contributions from the pub lic which will be forwarded immediately upon receipt to the office of the Associated Charities. Tile appeal of Superintendent Ld- , gan specifies that all donations of clothes be sent to the office of the j Associated Charities, in the Gould 1 Building on Decatur street and Edge wood avenue, between Peachtree and Pryor streets vided with entire outfits of clothing. These are the children you never see on Peachtree street, who probably never come from their own narrow streets, and who. it is threatened, may be forced to stay in the same narrow streets and in the same nar row life, ignorant and unlettered— just because they lack the money that even public school attendance re el u ires. The amount necessary will amount in no case to more than 410, It is esti mated. It is with something of an apology that Superintendent Logan, of the Associated Charities, makes the ap peal for public help. “No one regrets more than I," he said, “that our finances are in such shape that we can not meet this sit uation without an appeal to the gen erosity of the public, but the fact remains that this is the only course we can take to secure necessary aid. We have been for several months in a hand-to-mouth struggle to meet even emergency distress calls.” Mr. Logan related many instances of extreme poverty. One case was that of a widow' with six children, two of whom, suffering from tuberculosis of the bone, are kept at home, help less. Two others work in the mills and are the only support of the fam ily. Then there are two small chil dren, one 7 years old, the other 1, who can not w r ork and who can not, because of tlieir poverty, buy books and clothes to go to school. Time to Give is Short. Another case is that of two or phans, unwelcome children in the home of a grandfather, who drinks and neglects them. “They give these orphans a place to sleep and a little to eat,” said Mr Logan, “but the children have been in school only one year, and unless out siders take an interest in their case and help them, they will grow up in absolute ignorance.” The appeal has a simple directness which, it is hoped, will be answered by contributions from every quarter. The gifts must be made immediately* because less than a week remains before the time for the opening of the school session. DEFICIENCY BILL CUT 2-THIRDS Appropriates $100,000 to Aid Americans to Leave Mexico. Total $3,809,379.40. CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—“The women of America are ‘beating’ their milliners out of of $2,000,000 a year,” declared Madam Marie Harries this afternoon, praparatory to introducing a change in the by-laws of the organization at the convention of the National Asso ciation of Retail Milliners, limiting the credit to the fair wearers of the latest styles to not more than 30 days. Three thousand members of the as sociation, which numbers 20,000 milli ners throughout the United States, met in convention in the Congress Hotel to-day to pass the last word in fall and winter styles. Madam Harries, w'ho is president of the association, believes that $100 should be a m.nimum average or “dead” accounts lost by each member annually. “I favor enlisting the assistance of husbands in closing up the unde sirable accounts,” the president added. “Many times the wife buys without his knowledge, and while she may have the right to do so to a limited extent, I believe heavy accounts hould be taken without delay to the head of the house." Madam Harries declare that the “dead beat” from whom the milliners suffer most is the woman who in sists on a new hat for every month in the year, with one or two extra ones about Easter time. GIRL WHO STRANGELY WAS LOST FOR A DAY It was feared that she had met a fate like that of Mary Phagan. UDGE PENDLETON SDKS DJUDY TO HOLDALL Miss Clara Belle Griffin, missing, hunted by police and found in hospital. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—The gen- oral deficiency appropriation bill, car rying one*third of the amount asked for by the government departments, was reported to the House to-day by the Appropriations Committee. The bill inrlud#*H the $100,000 ssked for by Secretary Bryan to aid destitute Americans to leave Mexico. Provision also is made for the abo lition of the Commerce Court sixty days after the passage of the bill. The measure carried only $3,809,- 379 40 instead of the $9,923,406.78 asked for by the Treasury Depart ment In behalf of other executive de partments. Tho Interstate Commerce Comm*B- sion received $300,000 to start the physical valuation of railroads. An appropriation of $39,000 is al lowed to the Civil Service Commis sion for competitive examinations for fourth-class postmasters. The committee allows $654,659 to continue work on public buildings al ready begun, which is less than one- half the amount requested.

It will be known as the Evening School of Commerce, and will call for fourteen hours a week, eight in recitation and lecture periods and six in study. It is claimed the new course w'ill enable salesmen, credit men, insur ance men and young engineers to de velop in three years into executives with concrete knowledge of business it. would require twenty years to get by the hit-and-miss method of profiting by mistakes. The college authorities say it will place the student many years ahead of his less studious competitor. The course will continue throughout the year. Atlantan Pilots Car 1,600 Miles Through 12 States in Ten Days Judge Pendleton severely scored tha gambler and the pistol-toter in his charge to the new' Grand Jury Tues day morning, and asked the members of the jury to see that every man charged with either of these offenses was indicted if the evidence Indicated a possibility of his guilt. The judge was bitter in his arraign ment of persons who carry concealed weapons, declaring *hat this was re sponsible for much of the lawlessness and violence with which the cour s are flooded at present. He branded as a coward the man who carries a pis tol in a civilized community. Judge Pendleton could find no ex cuse for the practice of gambling. There was no more senseless vice in the catalogue than this, in his opin ion. He asserted it was the duty of the grand and the petit juries to see that the gamblers are j. unished to the extent of the law. The present wave of crime was mentioned by the judge. He said that he .had observed the prevalence of lawlessness and . that he was dis turbed by it. He did not think, how ever, that Fulton County was any worse in this respect than any other county of the State. “Atlanta,” he said, “is a cosmopoli tan city. We have here people from all parts of the world. Some of them possibly are not the most desirable citizens. So it is not to be won dered at that we have occasional waves of crime and violence.” H. Y. McCord, Sr., is foreman of the new Grand Jury. The jury will meet Friday morning and take up a long list of cases, prominent among which will be that of Jim Conley, charged with being accessory after the fact in connection with the murder of little Mary Phagan, for which Leo M. Frank is under sentence of death, i After being organized the Jury re- ! tired to the Grand Jury room where they were in short conference with : Solicitor Dorsey. Folowing is the personnel of the Grand Jury: H. Y. McCord, Sr., fore man, John W. Alexander, George H. Sims, D. J. Baker, John H. Mullin, R. H. Pickett, John J. Finnlgan, T. A. Capps, Jerry W. Goldsmith, C. C. Tohrn, O. H. Mrorow, W. E. Wood, R. B. Seagraves, C. L. Fain, C. L. Elyea, H. M. Walker, George T. Howard and George W. Moore. Need More Police Stations, Says Mayor. Mayor Woodward declared Tues day that the crime wave that has spread over Atlanta emphasized the need of police sub-stations. “Ninety per cent of the cases made by the police are against persons in Decatur, Peters and Marietta streets,” he said. “Because of the police sta tion on Decatur street, that is the most orderly of the three. We need a sub-station on Peters street and one on Marietta street. “With the police within easy call of these concentrated districts crime would be greatly diminished in At lanta and our city would be a safer and better place to live in.” Mayor Woodward was an Alderman at the time the Decatur street police station was built, and acted as chair man of the committee that had charge of its construction. It was the plan then to add two sub-stations. He pointed out Tuesday that Atlanta’s rapid growth and the records of dis order and crime made the need of sub-stations now' infinitely greater. After trying his 185 cases Mon day, Recorder Pro Tem W. H. Pres ton declared Monday It was the rec ord day since prohibition. Authorities at the Grady Hospital fix the number of victims of crime they have treated within the past two weeks at approximately 150. The fa talities reach a dozen. Most of the record arrests have been among the negroes, and this fact is pointed out as an especial reason for police sub-stations. When policemen are around the negroes can be kept orderly.
