Hampstead, Texas, April ga short
while ago The Post and other South Texas

the shortness and vagueness Of the publ

made TO an open letter addressed by Chief
Cornwell OF Dallas to a. G. Tompkns, rep.

An Atlanta Doctor with Too Much
FOndncsS for Little Girls.

"a Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 27,-Dr. S. W. AFRO
wood. a practicing physician. 80 years Old.
and wen-known in the western part of the
city. was arraigned in Police Court this
afternoon, charged with attempting to en-
tice little girls from home.
The evidence brought out the fact that
he had a mania for school girls. some of
whom were not more than 10 years of
age. For three hours the Recorder heard
witnesses. some of them the school girls
who had been insulted, and then adjourned
a further hearing until tomorrow
The Police Court room was packed, there
being a large number of ladies and chill
Gren present who had come 20 tell what
they knew about the doctors alleged prac-
ticc of stopping little girls while on their
way 10 and from school.
Ethel Klttrel. a 12-year-old girl who
was the most important witness, went into
Mysteries and could not testify The child.
il IS said was one of DIR. Arrowood's
attractions one whom he wanted to mar
ry and for whom ne secured a marriage
license in DeKalb county several days ago.
The child had to be carried into the
court room by officers, and when she was
a last before the Recorder she was weep
ing too violently to speak.
Parents were present, who said their
daughters had been insulted by DR.. AFRO
wood. but they preferred not to bring them
into court. The evidence showed that for
the past two years DR.. Arrowood has been
annoying little girls attending the Davis
Street School.
The defense tried to show that Dr. AFRO
woods mania for Ethel Kittren amounted
almost TO lunacy, and that all of his at
tentions TO other girls was for the purpose
of communicating with her The mother
of the little Kittrell girl was on the stand
and told of the doctors persecution of the
child.
Or. Arrowood's lawyers declare he is a
"paranoeic," like Flanagan, the DeKalh
county murderer, who wanted to marry
the l2-year-old daughter of his intended
victims Mr. and Mrs George Alien.

ton of Railroad Commission :
Rules 10 Which IA Heavy Penalty
Is Attached.
Atlanta Ga, Jan. 27.-Developments OF
an interesting order in the cotton rate
fight between the railroads occurred to
day at this end Of the line. 1t seems that
the Seaboard Air Line is up TO some kind
of monkey business" in connection with
the cut rate from Athens.
Chairman Trammell of the Railroad
Commission this afternoon received sew
eral kilograms alleging that the rate had
suddenly been advanced from Athens, and
asking if the roads had the right to take
such action. L. O. Benton Bro, cotton
buyers at Monticello, were one OF the CON
plainants. They stated in their kilograms
that they had contracted for the snip
ment of 900 bales from Athens 10 Fan
River al % cents on Jan. %, but when on
Jan p they presented the cotton a rate
of 35 cents was asked. Hence their APP
peal TO the railroad commission.
Chairman Trammell wired back that
under rule IS of the railroad commission
regulations no rate can be advanced by
any line without first giving ten days no
tice There is penalty attached for
violation It is possible that comphca-
tons will arise over this feature of the
rate fight.
There is a well defined impression among
railroad men here that there will shortly
he an agreement between the warning
roads. and that former rates will be re-
stored though nothing definite has been
heard from the rate meeting held at the
Waldorf in New York yesterday.
