Chief Beavers Highly Elated by Re
ports of Department for This Year.
Better observance of law and a
general decrease in violence in the
Prir 1913 are features shown in the
nnual report of the police depart
ment.
Police chief Beavers is highly
. t ttitled over the year’s figures, which
ndicate a material slump in murder
,nd other serious crimes and shows
tat A Manta now has less loafers than
ver before. Chief Beavers declared
iturday that this year’s report, in
unparison with the list of crimes of
jst year, demonstrates that there haa
toen improvement all along the line
tnd goes to show that the wiping out
if Atlanta’s segregated vice district
ill reduce materially the city’s crime
record, of which there has been so
much unsavory comment in recent
years.
The number of murders in 1913 de
creased practically one-half In com
parison with the figures for 1912. To
date thirteen murders have been com
mitted in Atlanta this year. In 1912
there were 23. Of the murders this
year seven convictions have been ob
tained. Several other slavers have
been located by detectives, but have
not been brought hack to Atlanta be
cause of a lack of exoense funds.
Fewer Idle Persons.
The number of attempts to murder
shows a decrease of more than two-
thirds. This includes stabbing*,
shooting affrays and other like of
fenses
Chief Beavers particularly is pleas
ed with figures that Indicate that
more people are at work this year
than last. In the total of all persons
arrested to date this vear, 799 had no
occupation of any kind. The num
ber of Jobless offenders last year ran
up to 1,690.
The idling and loitering cases num
ber 439, as against 994 last. year.
The number of persons arrested
since the closing of the “red-light’’
district for conducting disorderly
houses can not he told in figures, as
all such cases have been docketed
under the blanket charge of disor
derly conduct. The number of dis
orderly conduct cases for the year Is
expected to almost equal the figures
for last year—9,089.
Cases Total About Same.
Chief Beavers regards as signifi
cant the fact that but 57 women or
the streets have been arrested during
the whole year. It is shown that 46
puch women were arrested in the
streets at night in 1912, in the time
that the “red-light" district was open
and when no special crusade was be
ing waged by the police against vice
Only 21 men have been arrested in
1913 for being in the streets in com
pany with women, while last year,
with no vice war in progress, 28 men
were arrested.
The total number of cases for last
year was 17,189. The total for this
year is expected to fall slightly be
low this figure.

A future that glows as brightly as
an Oliver Optic story of the poor
boy’s success is painted In an attrac
tive prospectus scattered broadcast
by the local recruiting station of the

Substantial advantages, far exceed
ing those which most careers offer to
the average citizen, are outlined. Phy

practical and accomplished instruc
tors, the chance of promotion, the
power to save money a*id the pros
pect of retirement on a considerable
Income at the end of 30 years’ ser
vice.
The local station is the central of
fice for recruiting in Georgia and
Alabama. In charge of Lieutenant J.
A. Galoogly, it has been operated un
der a vigorous policy of exploitation
by which, In two years, the periodical
number of recruits has advanced sev
eral hundred per cent.
Last week’s prospectus offered to
recruits the opportunity to save $10
a month out of their pay, the money
to be cared for by the Government,
with 4 per cent interest offered. Oth
er attractive features are six months’
pay to dependents in event of death,
opportunity for travel and for study
ir. common ichool and in technical
trade subjects, free nursing in sick
ness. life pension in event of injury,
easy promotion, even to the high
est stations, retirement after 30 years
on three-fourths pay plus $15.75 a
month—in the case of a first sergeant
nearly $70 a month-or admission
atter 20 years to an attractive shel
tering home.

For Christmas Tree
GRIFFIN, Dec. 20.— Fa«r more joy
ful will be the Christmas of this year
than that of two years ago for Mrs.
George Sternes, a prominent Grlfiln
woman, and all because of two turns
in a mystery that Is still unsolved, but
that has ended happily for her.
Just before Christmas two years
ago Mrs. Sternes lost or had stolen
from her a $200 diamond ring She
searched diligently, advertised and
employed detectives, but not the least
trace of the missing gem could be
found. She gave it up as forever lost.
Two years to ihe day after the ring
disappeared Mrs. Sternes received a
little packet through the mails. It
bore no legible postmark, nou was
there any address or other inscription
to indicate from whom or from where
tt came. Upon opening the packet she
found to her surprise and Joy that it
contained her long-lost $200 diamond
Perhaps the Christmas spirit
prompted the holder to return the
ring to its rightful owner. Anyway
Mrs. Sternes is mighty glad to get
it back.

cal changes will be shown the people
in conditions."
