VVTHEN Atlanta’s Public Schools open next Monday, more than 250 children will be unable to enter because they lack rioney to buy * * clothes and the necessary school books. The Associated Charities has sent out a call for aid. Superintendent Logan asks for money and cast-off clothing to enable the children to get an education. THE GEORGIAN AND SUNDAY AMERICAN TO-DAY HEADS A SUBSCRIPTION LIST WITH $50 and will be glad to receive other cash subscriptions which will be turned over to the Associated Charities to aid this most worthy cause.

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 eat 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 at ay at home with his two littler 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 slighest, chance, for h'm to enter. But Willie Is only one of more than two hundred and fifty children of At lanta. Boys und girls of many of the city’s unfortunate families are feeling the pinch of poverty to-day more than if they were without Are 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, •n appeal to the generosity of the public. Not 01 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. The appeal of Superintendent La gan specifies that all donations >f clothes be sent to the office of the Associated Charities, in the Gould Building on Decatur street and Edge- w’ood av >nue, between Peachtree and Pryor streets. Going to school, it seems, is not ♦he bugaboo to children that popular fa-i cy paints It. The 250 boys and girls poverty threatens to keep at home ill want very much to * r o to school. Wit ness llUle Willie Watson crying. Wit ness dozens of* the incidents which Superintendent Lorran relates of sor row in homes where sickness of the bread-winners or actual failure of the tiny pittance puts books ant’ rlothfs out < f reach. In some instance- the coveted amount is less than II. These e the cases of the smaller children, who maybe have already sufficient clothe* to make them presentable and whose little reader and speller and arith metic book can be had for a few pen nies. Willie Watson, for instance, is crying for lack of Just tl.ose few p^i. nies. In other cases the need is greater. The larger children, already with a •mattering of education, want to go to higher grades, where the books are more costly. They study geography, you remember, in the third and fourth grades, and perhaps history-. Some Need Clothing. Some of the children must be pro vided with entire outfits of clothing. These are the children you never see on Peachtree street, who probablv never come from their own narrow streets, and who, it is threatened, may be forced to stay in the same narrow strc»ets and in the same nar row life, ignorant and unlettered— just because they lack the money that even public school attendance re quires* The amount necessary will amount In no case to more than $10, it is esti mated. It is w-ith something of an apology that Superintendent Logan, of the Associated Charities, makes the ap- p< il for public help. "No one regrets more than I,” he said, “th;^ 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 /nllls and are the only support of the fam ily. Then there are two small chil dren. one 7 years old, the other », who can not work and w ho can not, because of their 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 Ml*. 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.

GIRL WHO STRANGELY WAS LOST FOR A DAY Atlanta women are not as bad as New York women. The devil would hardly enjoy a walk along Peachtree as well as he would along Broadway. • And, even at this the morals of New York now are apparently better than ever before. The women who affect the ex treme style of few clothes are but a coterie of rapid ones who do not in any way represent the great bulk of American women. Thus spoke Dr. Len G. Broughton, who arrived in Atlanta Tuesday morning. Twenty-seven pounds heav ier than he was when residing in At lanta, and just as ready as ever to fight the devil, the noted divine talked interestingly to a Georgian reporter, and sprang to the defense of South ern women. I In contrast, though, he declared London to be the most remarkably moral city in the world, doubly so when considering its immense popu lation. "Moral Conditions Better." "But I can not help believing that moral conditions generally are bet ter," he said. "New York is the gay est at this time that I have ever seen it. The theaters are just opening their season, and the theatrical hotels are wonderfully lively. It is around these places that the extreme in feminine attire is to be seen, where the few trimmings and abandonment of mod- estj* must indeed bring joy to the devil. But this class of women should | not be taken as representative of the true American women. "It is true that the European idea of the American women is that the feminine sex here are extremists in the matter of dress, and judging by 1 the general class of American women visiting Europe, the Europeans can not be blamed for forming such an opinion. The slit skirt, shadow dres> and the other styles of dress, or lack of dress, can hardly be other than the I devil's own invention.” Silent on Vice Situation. Dr. Broughton did not care to ex press himself upon Atlanta’s vice sit uation. "I have not been here since Chief Beavers began his crusade, and there fore am not in u position to express any opinion on it. But 1 will say this tor Chief Beavers: 1 have known him for many years, and there was never \ a cleaner or more upright gentleman, and 1 do not think a mistake could be j made In trusting him. As to any fight against him, I do not believe the people of Atlanta would turn him down. "Atlanta is a fairly good town morally. In fact, 1 think the condi tion of the world’s morals is gradu ally improving. In New York, tor in stance, less drinking and other dissi pation is to be noticed in public. Of course, it is Impossible to Judge of what is going u behind the doors, but to all appearances ;he town generally is improving. I believe London is the most moral big city in the world. Puzzled by Interviews. "The newspaper boys in New York had quite a good deal of fun out of me and my remarks of women's at tire was commented upon in a way to make me wonder if 1 had really saiii all of the things credited to me. But I suppose it is all in the game and that news was dull. In the very fast newspaper game I suppose some of the reporters think it is all right to overstep or understep things.” Dr. Broughton is Just a little afraid that the London suffragettes may get afur him when he gets back to Lon don. He also said that the condi tions there are as bad as reported, and that If it had not been for the actions of the militant suffragettes that England would have granted the women there the usi of the ballot a year ago. Fears Militant’s Anger. "Since I have been In America I have had reports that the suffragettes are attacking churches in London, and suppose I will coir.e In for my share when I return there. It is really a pity that the suffragettes have stooped to arson and violence, for the spirit of suffragism is strong in Eng land. Undoubtedly the suffragists would have won the right to the bal lot a year ago except for the action of the militant suffragettes." "The hunger strikes which the suf- I fragettes are having are a bit amus ing. in view of the fact that England has a very strong law against allow ing persons to commit suicide. A bill is already pending in Parliament, though, which will relieve this condi tion. then the authorities may be able to properly handle the situation." Visitmg His Brother. Dr. Broughton is $topping at the home of his brother, Dr. Joseph F. Broughton, No. 102 West Twelfth street. He was surprised when the reporter called upon him. as he had made efforts to keep the time of his | arrival here quiet, in order that he j might rest for a few days. He left New York at midnight Sunday, after a five weeks’ service, in which he preached three times a day and is very much worn out. He will go to Macon in a few days to conduct services there, and will return to Atlanta Sunday week to as sist in the installation of Dr. Mc Connell as pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle. i It was feared that she had met a fate like that of Judge Pendleton severely scored the 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 courts 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 \ anished 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." IT. 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. 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 J Gland Jury: H. Y. McCord. Sr., fore man, John W. Alexander, Georg® H» Sims, D. J. Baker, John H. Mullin, P H. Pickett, John J. Finnigan, 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. I Need More Police Stations, Says Mayor. Mayor Woodward declared Tues day that the crime wave that haa* spread over Atlanta emphasized thei 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 cut Tuesday that Atlanta’s, | rapid growth and the records of dis- I order and crime made the need of sub-stations now Infinitely greater. After trying his 185 cases Mon day, Recorder Pro Tern 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 che 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.
