Once in Several Wards.
Alderman Jesse W, Armistead and
‘(:ouncllmm A. W. Farlinger, repre
ronfln: the Schools Committee of the
jeneral Council, Friday declared the
{ranitary conditions of some of the
folder schools to be “deplorable.” |
g The Councilmen Thursday made a
{survey—or investigation—of all pub-1
lic schools on the North Side, and
among other things it was found that
& new building was urgently neededi
in the Eighth Ward to relleve ap
parent congestion; also, that the con
dition of some of the older buiidings
was “extremely bad.”
Councilman Farlinger said the
schiogls were ‘not overcrowded, bu!‘
they were ‘“pretty well fllled,” and
vhat figures gathered during the sur
vey Thureday would prove the state
fent conclusively., In some of the
primary grades as many as 60 pupils
were found, in charge of one teacher
when all that one teacher could prop
ey handle was 40,
Tenth Ward Crowded.
Alderman Armistéad declared the
schools of the Tenth Ward to be
filled beyond. their capacity, and in
order to relieve the congestion it
would be necessary to build a new
school in the Eighth Ward.
Referring to the buildings them
selves, the Alderman stated that, al
{hough some were in fairly good con
dition, the majority were badly in
nead of attention. He said they need
ed a thorough overhauling and clean
ihg. and made special mention of the
tollets. In the older buildings these
were said to be unfit for use.
{ Conditions at the Ivy street and
@alhoun schools, in particular, were
termed as “very insanitary.”
Would Bell Ivy School.
The Alderman advocated the sell
ipg of the lvy street school and the
Qurchaaing of additional ground ad
joining the Calhoun where congestion
vas found. At the former place the
rumber of pupils was about 100 short
qf the accommodations, while at the
alhoun the number was greatly in
excess,
The schools visited Thursday were
Tech High, Luckle Street, State
direet, Exposition Mills, Howell Sta
r‘on. Tenth Street, Willlams Street,

State Entomologist of Opinion,l
However, That Damage to
Peaches Is Small.
A storm accompanied in many sec
tions by heavy snow, struck the South
Thursday night and Friday, and fears
were expressed for the early fruit
crop, many trees in various sectlons‘
being already in bloom. Snow fell
during the night in Virginia, Tennes
see, Texas, Oklahoma Alabama and
North Georgia, and Friday morning
the temperature began dropping.
In Richmond six inches of snow
covered tha ground at 9 o'clock Fri
day, and 1n Baltimore a heavy snow
storm sent the thermometer below
the freezing point. The snow was
general throughout Tennessee, Nash
ville having the heaviest snowfall mi
three years, while at Memphis and]
Chattanooga and many of the smaller
towng heavy snowfalls were reported)‘
In Atlanta the rain of Thursday{
afternoon and evening was tollowed!
Friday by a cold snap that sent the
mercury in the weather bureau's!
thermometer dovwn two degrees in
less than two hours. At 7 o'clock,
the officlal observation time, the tem
perature was 32 degrees—just freez
ing; and at 8:80 o'clock the ther
mometer registered 20 degrees, a drop
of 2 degrees. Indications are that the
cold will continue throughout the day
and perhaps Saturday, although it is
not thought that it will be any worse.
It is not known as vet whether the
Georgla peaCh crop has been injured
by the cold. It was stated Friday at
the office of E. Lee oWrsham, State
Entomologist, that there is little like
lihood that great damage was done,
because theé high wind kept frost‘
from forming. |
Little hope is entertained that frui:
trees in Alabama and Tennessae,
where snow fell, survived the storm.
The drop in the temperaturs was ac
companied Friday by an increase in
the wind velocity, the highest point'
being reached at 8§ o'clock, when t'ne‘
wind raced around the corners at the
rate of 42 miles an hour. The rainfall
during the night was .43, *
Storekeeper Is Badly
Beaten by Footpad
E. Citron, a storekeeper at No. 225
Piedmont avenue, is in a serious con
dition at Grady Hospital Friday, as
the result of a beating he received
from a negro footpad in front of No.
83 Kast Baker street late Thursday
night. The negro crouched behind a
tree and when Citron passed on his
way home from his store the black
knocked him down with a plece of
fence rail, and continued to beat him.
C'itron screamed for help and F. L.
Belyou, a druggist at Piedmont and
Baker, chased the negro away. Citron
was not robbed.

It's an old song, of the so-called
“popular” type. How does it go? Oh,
yes——
Good-bye, little girl, good-bye! 1
Good-bye, little girl—don’t cry; ‘
In my uniform of blue,
I'll come marching home to vou,
Good-bye, little girl—
Good-bye! 1
Close harmony in the matter of
“blue” and “you. Not strictly fit

ably will come marching home again
in khaki, which doesn’t rhyme we!ll.
with “you.” But it's all in the .sr'nii-‘
ment, you know. |
Old stuff! Small town stuff! May
be barber shop stuff, even! But
lofl;ehom‘ it contains what is known
technically as the “kick.” ’
The Girls the Seventeenth Left.
This, of course, is all about the
marching away of the Seventeenth, in
several troop trains, and the glris It
left behind. The Seventeenth is un
der the impression that it is swap
ping jobs of post drilling for a romp
along the Mexican border, and ihe
girls have that impression, too.
So right up to the final “goodbye"
there was a deal of kidding about
chili con carne and the races at Jua
rez and bright Spanish eyes and
Mexican athletics—bull fighting and
throwing and such,
But somehow, right at get-away
time Thursday the kidding sort of
flattened out, the way the racket in
the grandstand does when the clean
up hitter of the home team strikes
out with three on,
They talked close together, the
boys of the Seventeenth and the girls
they were leaving behind. Maybe
they held hands, even if it was a
bit public. 'l‘pe jokes about chili and
cactus simmered down. Maybe there
would be fighting. Given the right
kind of rifle, a Greaser can shoot
just as hard as anybody. Certainly
there would be tarantulas, and
and——
Well, you know. It's always the
same, It was the same when the
women of the Revolution knelt by thef
Learth with the firelight deepening
the shadows under their eyes, while
they “poured lead into the molds of
death.” It was the same when bands
vlayed “Yankee Doodle” and “I)lxlc"i
‘n dead earnest. It was the same
when the thunder beneath the bows
of the stricken Maine rolled avrom-;
Uncle Sam's frontyard and stirred Old
(lory in the omnious fluttering that
promises trouble, hot, fast and furl-;
ous for somebody, |
It's the same now, with the pomp,
and the circumstance, and the troop
trains, and all With Marse Henry
Watterson, we ‘“love to hear the
bun(lng. crackle and the eagle
scream,”
But right at the last, you know,
when it comes down to the part about

Detective Again Intimates Trail
He Is Following Is Leading
Away From Frank. :
William J. Burns started out
Friday for another hard dav’s
work on the Phagan wmurder
mystery, he appeared to be thor
oughly satisfied with his progress
up to that point, and he stated
his satisfaction in the following
terms:
“Throughout the plot of this mur
der can be seen plainly the thread of
a criminai’s menial processes. Tha
slayer of Mary Phagan was a cpimi
nal of the worst tyvpe. I have never
before come in contact with so foul &
crime. And now T see my way clea®
to point my finger at the guilty man.”
As to when thies would be dene,
however, Mr. Burns declined to be
specific,
Will Give Data to Dersey.
"It may be in a few days: it may
‘be a couple of weeks: it may be
more,” he said enigmatically. “1 will
have all the facts in hand, and a con=
vincing statement to make when I
‘make it, When lam near the end I
' shall hand over my data to the Solici
tor General, and he, of course, will
act a® he sees fit."”
1t was while talking of Mr. Dorsey's
work in the prosecution gthat Mg,
Burns intimated that the trail he was
following was leading away from Leo
Irank, as he has plainly done several
times, although expressing no opinion,
as to his guilt or innocence.
- “It is gnite possible,” he said, “that
the Solicitor has heen misled in some
particulars. Bu!-if he was, it was by
private detectives—one of the most
dangerous institutions with which we
'have to contend. The Solicitor was
’:/,r-;flmis in the prosecution, 1 under
'stand. But that is proper. He he
lieved he was right, and his belief
was founded on substance supplied to
him by investigators. That substance
was enough to warrant him in his po
sition As to Mr. Dorsey's zeal [
would merely state that this country
wolild be in a very kad way if it did
not have public prosecutors who car
ried on their work with zeal and de~
termination I am quite sure Mr.
Dorsey was not prejudiced in this
‘va.te."
Will Give No Opinion.
. To two more leading questions the
famous detective returned smillng
‘and non-committal replies. He de
.clined to state if he believed the
E‘.'z'im» could have been committed by
'a person of high intellectual attain
’mems and culture. He aiso declined
‘M say that he cons!dered the crime
the product of savage instinct and
nature s
