Rockefeller Finds a
Religion in Sunlight
CLEVELAND, Dec. 3.— ‘Perpetual
sunlight, equally distributed, would
make churches unnecessary.'’ said
John D. Rockefeller, on the street in
front of his church, as he declared
his departure to bask in the bright

it would raise the moral standard of
men,” he explained. “Dull days breed
unhappiness; plenty of sunshine aids
in making a contented community.”

Detectives Declare Pickpockets
Are Organized in Expert Gang
Working Downtown District.
Blacks Fleeing Raid
Trample Detective
In an attempt to force him to di
vulge the names of members of the
gang of negroes who assaulted De
tective J. F. McGill while officers
were raiding a craps game in a De
catur street saloon late Tuesday, the
police Wednesday put on the grill the
only negro of the band they captured.
McGlll, stationed at the back door,
was badly trampled by the negroes
when they ran over him while trying
to escape the raider*.
A second woman is being sought by
the detective department in connec
tion with the baffling operations of an
organized gang of pickpockets whose
most spectacular coup was the clever
wholesale robbery of a trainload of
passengers on the Seaboard Air Line.
Additional stories of the gang's vic
tims as they were told to the police
Wednesday included another woman
in addition to "The Queen of the
Pickpockets.” who had been described
in the reports of the thefts which
took place on the train as it was
steaming out of the Union Station.
G. W. Snow, of No. 19 Pavilion
street, the loser of a wallet contain
ing $(58 is the man who brought the
other woman to the attention of the
detectives. He told them that he was
walking along Peachtree street and
was about at Five Points when he
was attracted by two well-dressed
young womeif. A man was with them.
An instant later he said he was
crowded and jostled by them, but
thought nothing of it until a little
later when he found his wallet miss
ing.
The trio is believed by the police
to be the leaders of the gang of
pickpockets and the city was
searched for them Wednesday. Both
women are eood looking. The elder
probably is 30 years old.
The later reports which have be^n
turned in to the police indicate that
the thieves have shifted their op-r
ations from the trains to the depots
and streets and other places where I
crowds congregate. Detectives have
been placed on trains going out of
Atlanta and the stations and prin- !
cipal streets also are being carefully
watched.
G. P, McIntyre, of Cartersville. Ga .
was robbed of $43 while walking
along the uptown streets Tuesday.
He was unable to tell exactly when
or w’here as he did not miss his
pocket-book until he started to buy a
ticket at the Terminal Station.
