D \\ t Chief of Detectives Lanford Mon day morning issued a warning to the young girls of Atlanta to beware of the ‘ needle men." the scientific white slavers who dull the senses of their victims with an injection of a power ful narcotic through a hypodermic needle jabbed in the arm or wrist, and who are thought to have tied from New York City and established their headquarters in Atlanta. The (thief also expressed his will ingness to co-operate with L. J. Ba le.', chief of the Southern division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose plans for the suppression of the gang were outlined exclusively in ycvf.-rday * Sunday American. “The danger to which the girls of Atlanta are exposed from these scien tific criminals,” said Chief Lanford, ■‘••an not bo too greatly emphasised. The method or the needle men is sure and swift, and since they leave prac tically no clews save possible descrip tions bv people who pay no particu lar attention to them, the difficulty of apprehending them is great. Urges Girls To Be Careful. "Since the unearthing of the gang in New York we have heard vague rumors that many of the white slavers have left the Eastern metrop olis and come to Atlanta. These ru mors have been carefully investi gated and while l can not yet make public the information we have ob- mIned. I regard the situation in At lanta now as being of sufficient grav ity to make a warning necessary, especially to girls who go alone to the theaters and on the streets. "Too much care can not be exer cised by girls. They should be on their guard constantly and should not enter into cynversa!Ion with strangers, whether men or women* and if they are seized with a sudden illness should be careful that they are not assisted by persons unknown to them. In the theaters the girls should keep a watchful eye on the persons who sit next to them, ns the darkness of the theater affords the needle men an ideal opportunity for hi* work. Should Rrpor* to Police, "Gases or sudden illness in thea ters or on the streets should he re ported to the police or Government agents at once, in order that tin in vestigation may be made. It Is possible that Mome of the many cases of illness reported In the cheaper playhouses and on the streets recently have been due to the work of the needle men, though there have vet been no re ports of instances where they have succeeded in abducting a girl." Chief l anford emphasized the ne cessity of girl* and young women exercising unusual care during the holm .v rush Crowds are the nat ural stamping ground or tie ue.v ** i >pe of white slaver, as there i* small ? danger of detection when the stree;* are thronged with people.
