Clews Show Well-Drilled Gang of Lads of Tender Years Is Busy in Atlanta. Atlanta detectives began searching Thursday morning for a gang of boy burglars and for the usual "P’agin" directing thefts like one successfully carried out early Thursday morning at Marshall’s Pharmacy, at the junc tion of Peachtree and Ivy streets. Inside the drug store the traces bore evidence to a very workmanlike “job." The-cash register had been “jimmied" skillfully and $90 taken. But outside. Detective Rosser, call ed to investigate, found certain indi cations that boy- small boj mere children had been the robber*. Small Footprint* hounci. The window through which the robbers entered had not been lifted. Part of the glass had been broken out, and through that hole no full- sized man and no large boy could have craw led. Then there was a large nA.il. or spike, inserted between bricks in the wall, and evidently used as a step while working on the window. But the spike, insecurely fastened, could never have held up the weight of a man. And most easily read of all the traces was the trampled earth be neath the window. The prints were all of small feet, well shod, apparent ly the feet of boys 12 or 13 years of age. Lanford Gives Warning. There was such a confusion of tracks that it was impossible to be sure of the number, but it appeared certain that three and possibly four, boys had taken part in the robbery. No man's footprints were discernible. Chief Hanford is of the opinion that the same gang has been guilty of a number of robberies lately, all per formed with a good deal of skill and care. "It is getting along to the time of year when all kinds of theft and rob bery increase." he said, "and It will be well for householders to keep their eyes open. "The ‘meter thief’ particularly is active along in the holiday season, and no one should be admitted to read or repair or inspect coin meters without showing the ptoper author ity." ‘Chicken Inspector’ Badge Halts Traffic CHICAGO.

Local Financier, in New York, Tells of Advantages of Geor gia and Capital NEW YORK Dec. 4—The New York American says to-day: Former Mayor Robert F. Maddox, of Atlanta, Ga.. who is vice president of the American National Bank of that city and one of the moat promi nent bankers in the State of Geor gia, declared at the Waldorf-Astoria that Atlanta in all likelihood would be designated as one of the regional reserve bank cities under the new currency law. He came to this city from Wash ington, where he had been summon ed to confer with Senator Smith on the currency hill and the choice of Atlanta as a regional hank city. "At present the bill provides for a minimum of eight regional reserve banks, with the power given to the Federal Reserve Board to increase this number not more than twelve. Boosts for Atlanta. "Until the board is appointed, and has made its selection of regional reserve cities, the matter will,not be definitely settled, but it is believed that Atlanta will be selected for the Southeastern portion of the United States, which is generally conceded to-day to be more prosperous than any other section of the country. "Atlanta is in the center of that section. The city is growing rapidly. Bank clearings have increased 400 per cent in the past ten years. The deposits have increased very largely “The deposits of the entire State are large and we think there is a sufficient number of national hanks in the Southeast to warrant the es tablishment of a regional reserve bank In Atlanta. "The regional reserve bank's capi tal Is to be a minimum of $3,000,000. subscribed. In the State’s adjoining Georgia—Tennessee. Alabama. North and South Carolina and Florida there Is a capital and surplus In t*he national banks approximately of $100,000,000. "The subscription ts to he 6 per cent of the capital and surplus, so that if only half of the national banks in these States come into a regional reserve bank located In Atlanta, we will have the minimum amount re quired That does not include any State hanks or trust companies, a large number of which will come in, of COUTM, If a large number of Dfl tional banks subscribe "By drawing a radius of 300 miles Continued on Page 3.

Day, 27 year* old, of Cartorsville, Ga., a patient in the sanitarium of Dr. .Fames N. Bran Bravvner, at Smyrna, Ga.. was burned to death Thursday morn ing at 2:50 o’clock, in a fire which destroyed the cottage in which he was confined. Font* other patients who were in the cottage were rescued by Dr. Brawner and the attendants of the sanitarium .just in time to save their lives. The building was | burned to the ground, causing a loss .which Dr. Brawner esti mates at about $3,500. The origin of the Fire which cAnM the death of Day is shrouded in mys tery. Twenty minutes before It was discovered the night watchman of the sanitarium had passed the door of Day’s room and noticed nothing amiss At 2:30 o’clock the fire wm discovered by an attendant who chanced to be awake in the building, and at about the same time Dr, Brawner, aroused by the glare of the flames, looked from his window In »he main building 200 yards distant and saw the fire. Dr. Brawner immediately turned in an alarm, and the patients, virtual ly all of who mwere violent, were got out of the building and taken to the main building of the institution. Ef forts w r ere made to get into Day’s room and rescue him. but the smoke was so dense and the room so filled with flame.**' that it was found im possible. Unable to Account for Fire. One of the attendants penetrated a few feet into the room, but was una ble to locate Day s body. Realizing that Day could not be got out of the cottage in time to save hi« life. Dr. Brawner and his assistants turned their attention to rescuing the other patients, who were hudled in their rooms screaming with fright. Over the long-distance telephone Thursday morning Dr. Brawner de clared he is unable to account for t'.ve fire. The only plausible rlieory, i*e declared, is that Day set fire to his room with suicidal intent. The had been an Inmate of the sanitarium for but four days, and wm or>« of the most violent: of the patients. He was not allowed out of b1« room -with out a guard, which makes the mys tery of the fire all the greater. In his room Day was so violent that no furniture other than the bad and bed clothing and a small wash stand could be kept there. These were fastened to the floor. From the position in which Day’s charred body was found Thursday after the destruction of th« cottage Dr. Brawner thinks the man set fine to his room and then wrapped him self in the bed clothing. The body was lying about where the bed had been and^emains of the bed clotHIng could be seen. apparently drawn closely about his body. I see n<* other wa> to account for the fire, save the l henry that Day must have goi hold of « match soma- where «a;<i Dr Brawner ' We arn very careful about letting tho ai-
