Express Officials More Confident Than Ever of Apprehending $72.00(J Thief. That they expected to put their nands upon the man responsible for the big $72,00t» robbery from the Southern and Adams Express Com panies within a few hours was the | confident statement this morning of | General Manager J. B. Hockaday and ! Harry Scott, of Atlanta. The finding of the missing way bid. j they said, had given them the clew ! that they needed to uncover the dar- ! ing thief. The way bill covered the j shipment of the $72,000 from the j Chase National Bank in New York to Savannah, Valdosta and Bruns wick banks. It had beep jpyste- riouely missing-* after the disappear ance of the money was discovered. Its rinding was the last thing to make j the evidence complete. Net Tightening. Either the last man whoso signa- j lure is on it or the one whose slg- j nature immediately preceded It inuar j account for the money, according to i Detective Scott and Manager Hocka- day. The net is tightening around the guilty man and the detectives are prepared to make an arrest at any j moment. Immediately upon the finding of the i Way bill, the company from Us J agency in Savannah sent a long dis patch to the officer* at New* York Jersey City and Washington. The lightning is expected to strike at one of these three places.

Robert E.

Git.'. “Of court,r" said Hr. Barry, “the • mon 1 may have been stolen in tran sit, but I rather think that such is not the case. The yeggs who pulled off Ui job without a doubt are pro fessionals and they evidently planned thu trim.; sonic days ahead, waiting for the sate to be shipped. “The thieve, knew that the money would not be missed until the safe was opened by the parties to whom it was consigned. They figured that Savannah was a considerable dis tance from New York and that they would have plenty of time to mak their get-away. "Southern Express Company detec tives are most efficient and know just what agents handled the safe, there fore by a process of elimination and deduction they can readily place un der suspicion the guilty man and if the man or men have not made a clean get-away I am more than con fident that they will lie .apprehended in a comparatively short time. 3 Killed, 1 Wounded, In S.

Declares He Couldn’t Blaine Gen tleman for Killing' Policeman to Prevent Pure Girl’s Arrest, In an interview Saturday Judge Arthur G. Powell, late of the Court of Appeals, came vigorously to the de fense of Atlanta’s spooners and as serted that in the recent instances of police interference the officers of the law had arrayed themselves on the side of no sense against common sense. Judge Powell made an interesting analysis of State rights and indi vidual rights, weighed with judicial care the merits and demerits of kiss ing, and the attitude the police should take in the enforcement of laws governing morals. daUl * tnq judge: “I don't think' trie present situation is so much a conflict between the rights of the State and the rights of the individual; the thing at which the community stands shocked is the de plorable lack of judgment displayed by the police in the handling of a particular case. Must Use Common Sense. “The State is supreme, of course; without the supremacy of law and or der individual liberty is worthless. There is nothing in any true view of individual liberty which would pre vent the State from making hugging and kissing a jail offense if it were necessary to the best interests of so ciety to do so. But even then those enforcing the law should use some common sense. “The practical phases of the ques tion are these: The girl with the proper sense of pride and decency is not going to let u man to whom she \s not engaged kiss her either in pri vate or in public. The woman who is truly bad will hardly limit her ac tivities to kissing. Between these two extremes lies a middle class, the girls who are not altogether bad but who are a little fast: and from time im memorial the boys have been chasing this class of girls and hugging an I kissing them in dark corners cr wher ever else opportunity presented itself “Now, suppose a policeman finds a boy on a dark seat in the park or on the secluded portion of the Capitol grounds kissing a girl, what should he do? Tf the couple is engaged- well. they are within their legal anJ moral rights and privileges, if thev are not making their spooning too ostentatious. Tf the couple is not en gaged. either the girl is fast or she is bad. If she is really bad, the police do not need to arrest her merely for hugging and kissing. Docs Not Require Disgrace. “If she is merely fast (and this is the case most probably of all those who have been supposed), to arrest the couple and take them to j&il would be an outrage, irrespective >f what might or might not. be the law, rule or regulations on the subject. That is the way to make bad women out of fast girls. “In any of the supposed cases, if the policeman would onb- let his presence be known, the performance would im mediately end. ’’he situation doesn’t require that the girl should be dis graced absolutely. If the girl has a mother, the mother should be notified, and I am old-fashioned enough to be lieve that unless the girl is entirely too old. a good, old-fashioned spank ing with the back side of a hair brusn properly administered by the mother would bo a much more appropriate corrective than arrest and jailing. “This thing of arresting people for trivial offenses which might be expe diently handled otherwise is what dis gusts us. The public should respect md feel kindly to every police offi cer, and yet so long as the spectacle •-,f the police arresting for minor de linquencies of conduct is constantly before our eyes, wo can not ?e«l to- • -qrd the police jue* we should New Alabama Coal Field Discovered ANNISTON, Sept. 18.—W.
