A STATE COMMISSION ON CRIME, PAUPERISM,
INSANITY AND MENTAL DEGENERACY
In view of the past and present con
ditions, It is time we as a state were
doing something In regard to the study
and prevention of crime. A great deal
has been written lately and numerous
suggestions made, yet we are about as
much In the dark as ever In regard to
the local cause of crime In our midst.
No one, so far as I know, has made any
detailed study of the subject and pre
pared to speak with authority, based on
scientific, systematic Investigation, un
less It* be some of .the members of the
colored race. I dafe say not a single
person In the city or state can tell us
where the negro “rapists'* were born;
what their home environments and
surroundings • were In their youth;
where they were educated, or If Illiter
ate, what environment and forces were
the Immediate causes that led them to
such fiendish, brutal acts.
We need light and knowledge that we
may act Intelligently. Can any one tell
us how many of the negroes or whites
In the chalngang are illiterate? At
what age they were first convicted and
sent to the state’s school for educating
and developing criminals? We need
some facts that will open the eyes of
the public as to the real cause or causes
of crime, pauperism, insanity, etc.
We have been dealing In generalities
and fine-spun theories, with various
suggestions as to cause and means of
correcting these conditions, but have
we any collected accurate data or any
scientific demonstration as to the pri
mal causes that have produced the ex
isting conditions?
These criminals, paupers, etc., are
not of spontaneous origin; they must
have soil suitable for their develop
ment. What of the soil? What ele
ments tend to produce evil, and from
whence do they come? How do they
affect society and the Individual?
These are all questions of Importance
to the state and should be Investigated
by the state. A commission of two
physicians, two lawyers, two ministers
and two teachers, appointed fiy the
stnte on account of their fitness and
qualification for the work, could be of
vast benefit In the future In the study
of these questions. They could collect
data that would be of Immense value
to the state. The state should appro
priate sufficient funds annually for the
use of the commission, so that it could
accomplish Its work In an efficient
manner. Money thus appropriated
would be well Invested, and would be
of immense value to the state In the
future.

THEN KILLS HIMSELF
in His Room in Chicago
Hotel.
Chicago, Oct. 24.1—After , running
through with a considerable fortune In
a year, William S. Stewarb of Toronto.
Ont., shot and killed htmself last night
In hi* ro6m at the Saratoga hotel. He
was 80 years of age and Inherited hit
father’s eetate on the latter's death.
Stewart came to Chicago yesterday
morning with Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Cloud,
of Rochester, N. Y., who occupied an
adjoining room at the hotel. A shot
was heard In Stewart’s room and Mr*.
Cloud Informed the hotel manager.
Cloud and his wife were detained pend
ing the Inquest today.
WBOTE OF HIS DEATH
IN BOTTOM OF BAY
Mobile. Ala., Oct: 24.—In a half-pint
llask floating In Mobile river at Chlca-
aabogga creek, found Iq^a gentleman
and turned over to the bridge tender
of the Louisville and Nashville rall-
,road at that place and written on a
small piece of brown paper with a lead
pencil was this note:
"John Parker, drowned In Mobile
bay September 27, 1906. Written by
John Parker. My home Is In Clncln
natl, Ohio.”
The date on the paper corresponds
■Ith the date of the storm In Mobile
«nd Its vicinity. Tho flaek shows evi
dence of having been In the water for
some time and appears to have rubbed
up against some hard substance In the
course of Its Journey. The name of
John Parker has not appeared In the
list of dead or mlselng.
FATHER KILLS SON
IN FAMILY ROW
Front Royal, Vo., Oct. 24.—Branch
Heitry. a farmer living In the suburbs,
In Jail at Berryvllle for killing his
son, Denton Henry, last night during
a family quarrel, which started at the
supper table between brothers, Denton
' Gardner Henry.
By DR. R. R. KIME.
at Its meeting In Atlanta, October 16.
1906, passed the following resolutions:
”1. That we Indorse and recommend
the appointment of a commission by
the legislature of the state of Georgia
for the study and Investigation of the
causes of crime, pauperism, Insanity
and mental degeneracy.
“2. Said commission to consist of two
physicians, two ministers, two lawyers
and two teachers, selected on account
of their fltness and qualification for the
work.
"3. It ehall be the duty of this com
mission to study antr Investigate the
Causes of crime, pauperism. Insanity,
etc., from a practical, scientific stand
point, as they relate to both the white
and colored races, and make annual r*'
ports of their work.
”4. We recommend the appropriation
of at least 85,000, and so much annually
as Is needed, for the use of the com
mission, so as to make Its work most
efficient and for the dissemination of
such knowledge as will be of benefit to
the various professions and general
public of the state.”
It Is hoped many other societies, sci
entific bodies, business associations, or-
gantxatlons and private Individuals will
Indorse and urge the appointment of
such a commission.
Too much of our time, energy and
money arc spent In dealing with the
elfoct rather than the cause of these
conditions. Our Jails, penitentiaries,
Insane asylums, hospitals and criminal
courts are at best but dealing with ef
fects of antecedent causes. If we would
spend the same amount of time, energy
and money In studying the cause of
these conditions and Institute means of
prevention, we would save much suffer
ing, disease and degeneration. Our ad
vancement and Improvement as a raco
Is materially retarded by our method
of dealing with these and other socio
logical subjects. We fool away too
much time In dealing with results rath
er than hunting for and removing the
cause, and much of our work Is as
senseless as It would be to try to dam
up the Mississippi river, expecting to
control Its flow. Now Is the opportune
time, when the publlo conscience Is
awakened, to make 'some changes In
our methods and put In motion some
sociological forces that will remove the
cause and prevent the development of
so much crime, vice and disease.

NINE BLACKMAILERS
CAUGHT BY POLICE
New YOrk, OcL 24.—With the arrest
of nine armed Italians early today, the
police believe that the ring leaders of
a band of blackmailers that have been
apitetdlng terror not only In New York,
but In many cities of the East for the
last seven years, have been captured.
T. L. Owens, who was acquitted in
the criminal, branch of the superior
court Tuesday of 1 ho charge of miscon
duct toward. Ms daughter, Bertie, ap
peared before Recorder Broyles Wed-
nbsday mPrnlng in company with his
wife to itsk advice as to what disposi
tion to make of the girl.
Owens declared his daughter could
never live In his home again,. but he
Asked the aid of the authorities In find
ing a suitable place for her. Judge
Broylos Instructed Probation Officer
Oloer and Miss Sanderson, police ma
tron, to take the girl In charge and
try and get her a home. 8he will be
held In the police station until this It
done.
Miss Sanderson stated she had se
ctored a position for the girl and also
had a home In view. Mrs. Owens ob
jected to the matron having anything
to do with the arrangement, but Judge
Broyles told her Miss Sanderson was
doing Just what was right In the mat
ter.
FIREMEN’S RELIEF
FUND GETS CHECK
auditorium and armory, and so Is there
a demand need for a public comfort
building and a smalt breathing space
In the center of the city.
They can be united and secured at a
much lass expense now than at any
future time.
The Atlanta Sociological Society
urges the necessity for a small central
park with public comfort building ar
ranging for baths, cheap lunches, read
ing room, a band stand for night con
certs and a roof garden for rest and
recreation of hot summer evenings.
Such a place properly arranged and
equipped would be a blessing to the
city and give rest ana relaxation to
many who need It.
It would be of beneflt and value to
working boys and girls, and keep many
young men from places of vice and
Immorality.
It would be a great benefit to visi
tors and shoppers coming to the city,
and keep many men from going to the
saloons and being led Into vice.
As It Is strangers In the city and
men going down town have no place to
rest for a few minutes except on the
street corners or In the saloon*.
Atlanta Is no longer a country town,
but a ranldly-growlng city with many
tall buildings and more to follow that
will cut out the fresh air and sunshine
which will make a public comfort
grounds and building a necessity.
Central property Is growing more
valuable every year; all deslrablo
places are being built up, so now Is
the time to act.
Let the city appropriate a good sum
and then add to It by a public sub
scription. Let every one work to
gether for the good of Atlanta and se
cure these much-needed Improvements.
We suggest that the newspapers take
up this subject and add a popular sub
scription to the amount which should
bo appropriated by the city council and
secure an auditorium-armory, public
comfort building and grounds, which
will be a blessing to our ctttxens and
an advertisement to the city.

ANNULLEOeY COURT
The Commission Advertises
Again to Conform With
Provisions.
Special to The Georgies.
Gainesville, Ga., Oet. 24.—Judge Klm-
eey has finished hearing argument In
the Injunction of Martin et al. V*. the
board of commissioners of Hall county,
and rendered Ills decision.
It will be remembered that a number
of cltlxens asked the court.to enjoin
the commissioners from building
bridges at the Seven Islands ford and
the Savage ferry. The grand Jury
at the special term of the superior court
In September passed reeolutlonsagalnst
building these bridges and ceneured
two of the commissioners, Judge Dyer
and Mr. JarretL severely for letting the
contract*.
Judge Klmsey held that the levy Tor
taxes to build these bridges woe Illegal
because the levy reads for “brldgci”
and “roads” Jointly, whereas the levy
should have been separated. He also
held that the contracts were Illegal
because the advertisements did not
elate in terms of the law the time and
terms of payment.
Immediately after the decision was
rendered advertisements were prepared
for a tax levy In accordance with the
decision of Judge Klmsey. and the
commissioners will proceed with the
construction of the bridges as soon as
the advertisements have run for four
weeks. \
