MORE THAN 800
EXCESS PUPILS
JAM SCHOOLS
Slaton Arranges to Accommodate
1.000 More Than Sfeating Ca
pacity of City Institutions.
All but 42 of the pupils who ap
plied for admission to the Atlanta
schools Monday have been provided
with seats, and before the close of the
day these will have been arranged for.
Thus the apparently Impossible task
of caring; for 1,000 pupils above the
seating: capacity of the schools ha*
been accomplished by Superintendent
W. M. Slaton and the principals of
the various schools.
Monday morning: the school author
ities found themselves facing an ap
parently hopelens tangle In some of
the schools, having considerably more
applicants than accommodations. In
some Instances the excess number
passed well over the 100 mark.
Only 42 Lack Seats.
The tangle was unraveled by trans.
fering many pupils and the establish
ment of new grades in some of the
schools. The present problem Is car-
ipg 42 additional “kiddies” in the first
grade of the English avenue school.
Race suicide apparently is an unheard
of issue in this neighborhood, and ad
ditional space provided in anticipa
tion of a great attendance there was
found Inadequate.
A new first grade will be estab
lished here, either in tho basement of
the present building or in another
building in the neighborhood. The
children will not be placed in the
basement if there is any possible way
to avoid it. By the transferring of
many of the pupils quite a number of
them will have long distances to go,
but every effort has been made to
prevent any hardship.
Confers With Principals.
A conference was held by Superin
tendent Slaton with the school prin-
( ipals Thursday afternoon, and 850 of
the children cared for. Thursday aft
ernoon he will hold another confer
ence with the principals of the Edge-
wood. Inman Park and Highland ave
nue schools, which schools are neat
each other.
Owing to the crowded conditions of
these schools the school board some
time ago began the construction of
the Moreland school vhlch is expect
ed to be ready for occupancy in a few
weeks. Five grades will be estab
lished. and the overflow attendance
in the primary ^radca of these three
school^ will be cared for.
School Congestion
Adjusted by Board.
Further adjustment of the crowded
condition of Atlanta schools was made
Thursday as a result of action of the
Board of Education at a special meet
ing Wednesday afternoon.
An option on the Neal property, at
No. 44 Moreland avenue, was accept
ed. The city is now using the old
Neal house for overflow pupils, but
If the property Is purchased the rent
will be deducted. The price Is 19,800.
The Board gave Superintendent W.
M. Slaton authority to rent a cottage
in East Atlanta to take care of the
big increase in enrollment in the fifth
and sixth grades.
An additional teacher was author
ized for the Boys’ Technological High
School and one for the Girls’ High
School. Superintendent Slaton was
instructed to appoint teachers for the
new Moreland Avenue School, which
Is almost completed. These appoint
ments must be confirmed by the
Board.

Ill SHEETS IF
Mrs. Fanny Miller Again Makes
Appeal to Police to Locate
Stage-Struck Daughter.
Hundreds See Four Men in Auto
Fell Clerk in Busy Chicago
Thoroughfare.
The fear that her pretty 17-year-
old daughter, Belle, had been added !
to the long list of white slave victims
was told to the police Thursday by
Mrs. Fanny Miller, No. 152 Wheeler
street, when she visited the station
to plead with the detectives to re
double their efforts to find the girl,
who has been missing since Tues
day.
Explaining the ground for her anx
iety, the widowed mother said that a
stylishly dressed young man, repre
senting himself as a theatrical agent,
had been visiting her daughter lately
and had sought to persuade her to
join a musical comedy troupe he said
he was organizing.
She feared the girl foolishly had
listened to his stories of the stage and
had run away with him, only to find
that his tale of being a theatrical
man was a decoy to lure her into
a life of shame.
Taught Her Steps and Songs.
The young man, she related, came
to the house a number of times and
taught her daughter dancing steps
and several songs he said she would
have to sing. The girl was enrap
tured with the prospects of getting
away from the routine of office work,
being employed as stenographer at
the American Can Company, and
eagerly besought her mother to per
mit her to go on the stage.
Her plans met with a cold recep
tion from this quarter. Mrs. Miller
told her daughter that she never
would think of letting her go on the
stage, particularly at the solicitation
of a strange young man. The young
man was forbidden the house.
In spite of this, Ethel Miller, an old
er sister of the missing girl, says that
he returned Monday night when the
mother was not at' home. She hearl
the young man ask her sister if she
would leave home with him. She did
not hear her sister’s answer, but saya
that after finishing the customary re
hearsal the young man left the house.
Ethel heard her Rister tel 1 the man
she would meet him at Five Points at
2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.
Connected With Other Cases.
The police are doing their utmo«»t
to locate the girl, but after searching
th# city, they are of the opinion that
the pair may have taken a train for
New York. Authorities along the
route will be notified, and it Is thought
that they will be overtaken in a short
time.
During the last few' months a young
man answering the description of th°
alleged kidnaper has been operating
in small towns throughout the South.
It is thought that If this is the same
man the police by capturing him may
get a clew to the many missing-girl
cases reported during the year.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Four auto
bandits pounced on Warrington Mc-
Avoy, 18, messenger for the Garfield
Park State Savings Bank, during the
busiest part of the day on one of the
busiest corners on the West Side,
seized a satchel containing nearly
$15,000 In money and checks and es
caped.
The robbery' was executed swiftly,
without the display of a weapon. A
posse of policemen was sent out after
the robbers. A general alarm with
a meager description of the quar
tette was sent over the city.
The street was throbbing with
traffic. Scores witnessed the robbery,
and a crowd of more than 100 per
sona gathered as the robbers aped
away in their automobile. Several
person pursued the bandit car for a
short distance. They agreed on the
first three of the five digits of the
Illinois auto license number. "540,”
but all disagreed on the last two.
The auto of the robbers shot west
in Madison and turned south at the
first cross street, taking the corner on
two wheels.
A blow' in the face had broken the
young bank messenger’s nose. The
satchel had been Jerked from his hand
as he fell. He shouted for help, and
ran into the bank. The automobile
dodged the street car for which the
bank messenger was waiting and dis
appeared.
The bank officials said the messen
ger was on his way to the Continen
tal and Commercial National Bank
with the Garfield Bank's deposit.

Then fill the mug with Ice from

A generous bouquet of baby

sprinkle a pony of old cognac
over the whole.
That’s a mint Julep a la Ollle

ITCHED FOR 20
YEARS, RESINOL
CURED IN 10 DAYS
Baltimore, Md., July 10, 1913.—
“About twenty years ago both my
legs begun to Itch from ankle to
knee. Little pimples came out
that looked very much like heat.
The itching and burning was
something terrible. I would start
to scratch and could not stop. I
would even scratch through the
skin and that of course would
leave a sore which I was com
pelled to bandnge.
“I tried several prescriptions and
treatments, but received not a
particle of benefit—no more than
if the treatments were cold wa
ter. I then began to have very
little faith In anything and of
course could do nothing but
scratch away. After suffering
constantly for twenty years, a
friend recommended Resinol Soap
and Resinol Ointment. From the
very first application, I found re
lief. and was entirely cured In ten
days. The itching and stinging
sensations have ceased and my
skin is as smooth as a child’s.”
