HI THE ATLANTA GEORGIA#. '•COUNTY NEEDS FOR ITS POLICE" Chief Turner Declares En- largement of Force a Necessity. "It I* almply impoMihle to prevent crime* *uch a* that of thla morning until a reformation is made in Fulton count}'/* stated Chief Turner, of the county police, Wednesday morning lie was discussing the assault by negro on a woman at Battle Hill earlier in the day. “Until the people of this county vote to have two headquarters, one In the south and the other in the north of the county, it will be Impossi ble for the county police to do the work which the public expects of them. “Two heari'iumtors, with men on duty night and nay, would give the county such protection that crimes like that of this morning would lx» almost un heal'd of, because the police ivould be nn the spot at once. And the expense would be no greater than at present, because with the added protection to their \\Ives and daughters the farmers would be perfectly willing to pay a lit tle more taxes. “Another necessnry Improvement which should be made for the protec tion of the county farmers is the pur chase of u |*nlr of blood hounds. I do not believe that those available In thla county are worth their salt, when It comes right down to tracking negroes. If a cat Is run across the dogs are not satisfied until they have chased her up a tree, and it Is the same with rabblta or other animals. The county does not pay out a cent for these dogs, and, of course, can not expect much from them. V.’hat the county commission er* should do Is to pay $500 or so for a pair of blooded dogs and keep them trained to hunt criminals. Until this Is done we are under a serious handi cap, and It Is really surprising that we do as well as we have In the past" TYPOS MAY ACT ON IDAHO CASE By Prlrste |,cnsed Wire.
