W. W. Tindall, of Juvenile Court,
Lays Youngsters’ Presence in Mills
to Greed for Gold---Also Blames
the Parents---Pleads for Education.
‘‘The enactment of the Sheppard child labor bill is going to
mean more to the children of Georgia than anyone who is not ac
tually in contact with the conditions that exist would ever imag
ine,”” is the statement of Judge William W. Tindall, of the At
lanta Children’s Court.
““‘lf the Legislature this year enacts no other general law
but this and passes it without damaging amendments, it will have
done a service that will write its name into history.
“More than 90 per cent of the chil
dren who come into the Children’s
Court have left schoo! to seek em
ployment. At first I thought indiffer
ence of the parents was largely to
blame, but we have found, after more
careful study, that greed for their
earnings was the important cause.
Greed for Gold Is Cause.
“At the root of nearly all the in
difference of parents to keeping their
children in school or giving them
proper home care is the desire to get
some financial return from them.
Take away this and you have struck
at the heart of the evils that are
causing so much ignorance and juve
nile crime and immorality. ;
“No surer way could be found of
insuring that children have some ed
ucation and attend school before they
g 0 to work than to make their oppor
tunity for emplovment dependent up
on this, as the Shepgard bill does. The
parents who expect to put their chil
dren to work as soon as they reach 14
will see to it that they have com
pleted by that time the minimum of
schooling required.
Boys Miss Opportunities.
“The working boys who come into
this court are rarely In touch with
eny of the profitable things of life.
They have scorned the school to be
come wage-earners, They have no
ccnnection with churches. They never
use libraries nor any of the other
agencies provided for thelr education
and uplift, All they know and think
of is the coarse assoclations they have
formed at their work.
“Many complaints have beea made
to me about mill children, and re
quests made that I do something to
punish them for thieving, immorality,
or other petty crimes, but I have
given it up as hopeless to try to do
anvthing to cure symptoms while the
cause itself remains untouched,
State Owes Protection.
“I have kept hands off, and hoped
that the evils would fester to the
point where the public would wake
up to the horror and injustice of let
ting the lives of children be ruined
by long hours of monotonous Jabor,
then blaming the children for in*mor
ality and crime as they grow older.
“The State owes these children pro
tection first of all, and if it doesn't

give them this, then the State has lit- |
tle right to expect much of them.
Day after day, they work many hours,
without recreation, except on Satur
day afternoon. Then they huddle to
gether like tired mules, without know- |
ing what to do to counteract the
dullness of the week. It is little won- |
der that they so often turn to base‘
sexual pleasures as the only source of
excitement and relief.
Sheppard Bill s Remedy.
“To talk of making vagrants by a
law regulating the employment of
children under i 4 is absurd, Children
of this age are not vagrants. This|
law will merely give them an oppor
tunity to develop. The schools, the
recreation facilities, innumerable
agencies already exist from which
the children may benefit if they have
a chance. If the compelling incen
tive to get the wages that the child
may bring home is taken away, it will
not be long before the children will
flock to these agencies. The attitude
of the parent toward the child will be
changed. As it is now, the parents
are not to be censured, but society is,
because it lets them work.
“By all means, no exemptions
should be made to the law, The last
thing which a community should
think of doing should be to let the
burden of supporting a widow be put
upon children under 14. An exemp
tion for widows would simply be a
lcophole for running in whole fami
lies.”

As Alabama Slayer

' DOUGLAS, July 18.—Deputy Sher
iffs Furney and Shaw arrested a white
man here this afternoon who gives
his name as Ernest Quinn, but the
authorities are of the opinion he is
Walter Quinn, wanted at Grove Hill,
Clark County, Alabama, for the mur
der of a white man named Strickland
in that county last February.
' The man under suspicion here

‘fa.king the name of Ernest Quinn.
He says he is a brother of the man

Mayor and Councilman Ashley
Consent to Operation of De
structor Plant.
The city destructor plant will be
running Sunday by special permis
slon of Mayor Woodward and Coun
cilman Ashley, chairman of the com
mittes on sanitary affairs of City
Council. Application was made Sat
urday afternoon for permission to op~
erate the plant to clean out flues
and test the furnaces.
Councilman Ashley scented some
trick in this and refused to sign the
permit unless for the purpose of in
cinerating garbage. In this way the
city hopes to reduce the accumula
tion of about 250 tons of garbage at
the city crematory.
The petition to operate on Sunday
was viewed askance until it could be
fully considered with a view to pick
ing out any “jokers” which might
later i{nvolve or compromise the city
in litigation with the destructor com
pany.
Counselman Ashley is well pleased
with several things accomplished by
the committee on sanitary affairs
during the week, particularly with the
announcement of the Fulton Bag and
Cotton Mills Company that it will
follow up the demands of the com
mittee to establish better sanltary
conditions in the guarters of its em
ployees. Councilman Ashley will visit
the homes of workmen's families
again Sunday afternoon to note what
has been done the past week in the
way of complying with.the demands
of the committee. Water hydrants
in every set of rooms and individual
sinks for each section of quarters
occupled by a family were requiréd
by the committee to supplant the old
community hydrants and ginks.
Councilman Ashley s determined
that the work must progress rapid
-Iy, as the cotton mills operatives have
promised :
The Board of Health has asked
City Council for a transfer of $4OO of
{ts funds so as to purchase a run
about automobile for its plumbing
inspector. This, it is thought, would
be more advisable and more econom
feal than putting on another inspec
tor. The Board of Health is con
templating the wholesale condemna
tion of a great deal of insanitary
plumbing in several of the older sec
tiong of the city and wants to equip
its inspectors so as to do efficient
and rapid work when this crusade
against bad plumbing is taken up
The city will be asked to put $lOO
with the $4OO now In possession of
' the Board of Health for the purchase
of an automobile for its plumbing
inspector.

Alexander Pacurar, Recently Set

| Speak at Tabernacle.
Professor Alexander Pacurar, who
‘says he had a vision and was in
vested with a message for the world
- while he was a prisoner In the At

-Iline that message before a public
‘meeting in the Luckie Street Baptist
Tabernacle Sunday, July 26, at 3:30
o'¢lock In the afternoon. He prom
ises an interesting occasion.
The professor, in the happy days
before he fell into the tolls of the law,
was a prestidigitateur, as his ornate
card announces—ln short, a worker of
magie. For a few of the dramatic ef
fects in his lecture he will depend
upon his anclent art, which he says
he did not lose in prison. Here 18 his
ambitious promise, as his wideiy
published placards announce:
“Under his mesmeric Influence
within a few moments you will find
yourself suspended in a strange at
mosphere through which you will see
and realize the past of your life. The
star of your future will appear before
you, will strengthen and prepare you
for the struggle of life.”
Professor Pacurar has written a
letter to the clergymen of Atlanta,
relating the marvelous details of a
spiritual experience that came to him
in his prison cell, by which, he clalms,
he was endowed with a power more
