ATLANTA FIFTH CITY IN
HOMlCIDES; GUN - TOTER
A ND NEGROES MED

PrOmiscuous pistol toting and the
extensive negro population are the two
greatest causes assigned by Recorder
Broyles and Police Chief Beavers for
the South leading the nation in homi-
cides, as shown in statistics compiled
by the census bureau,
These figures place Atlanta fifth in
the list of important American cities
in the record of observation-disclosures
based on population. Memphis heads
the list with a percentage of All Then
comes Charleston, Savannah. New Or
leans and Atlanta, this city with a per-
centage of Ill While the population,
of course, is much greater and the ac-
tual number of homicides greater. both
New York and Chicago have a much
smaller average than Atlanta Chicago
showing S.4, and New York 81

dore Roosevelt was shot, has the best
record of any of the thirty big cities
shown, its percentage being only II.
II SIayers Now in Tower.
AS testimonial of Atlanta's record,
nine men are now confined in the Tow
er charged with murder. Three of this
number are under sentence of death
Robert L. Clay, white, and Ben Green
and Oscar Dewberry, colored. Two
other prisoners from other counties,
charged with murder, also are held in
the Tower for safe keeping, making
total of eleven.
There are two great reasons why the
South leads in the record of homicides
-promiscuous pistol toting and our
large negro population" said Judge
Broyles The habit of pistol toting is
worse in the South than any other sec
tion of the country, and this naturally
breeds murder. And then we have so
many negroes in this section-a prob
lem with which the other sections of
the country are not confronted. The
low class of negroes carry pistols ana
other deadly weapons. and don't hest
tate to use them in drunken braWls and
rows. This, | believe. is really the
greatest cause that runs up the South's
murder figures"
Chief Beavers advanced the same

Insects Suffer as Much as Animals, Says Expert

were not referring to that dirty back
yard of your neXt-door neighbours. We're
speaking of DR.. Claude Smiths exhibit in
the city hall, right by the east entrance.
DR.. Smith, city bacteriologist, and Dan
Carey, park manager, had an interesting
discussion on cruelty to animals. animal
culae and lnsectivora. arising from the
mosquito incubator outfit. DR.. Smith be-
gan operations at the exhibit by placing
tumbler of water under a glass cover
In twenty-four hours little mosquitoes be-
gan to hatch from eggs which had been
laid in the water They flew up to the
glass dome and summed themselves
against its surface drawing an admiring
throng that wondered how such diminu-
tive pests could possess such power of
song and sting.
"Claude, I'm going to have you pinched
for cruelty to animals" said Mr.. Carey.
You're Matching out mosquitoes and
falling to feed them"

quitoes are not animals, Dam" returned

you. Il don't think they'd bite anybody
else while you're in reach"
But, seriously. this cruelty to ami
mails proposition is a strange thing"
continued the bacteriologist IF you saw
a man beating his horse or mule you'd
call a cop. If you saw him abusing
COW or a cat or dog, you'd want to lick
him or have him arrested.
But when cruelty goes further down
in the animal kingdom nobody seems to
care You'll watch a crowd of boys and
a dog worrying a rat to death with no
thought of interfering. You don't care
how many bugs fly into your gas light
and burn TO death, except that they in
jure the light. And the fly-why, the
whole nation is resoundng with shouts of
Swat him.
Perhaps it's because the little fell
lows haven't a voice to raise in anguish
and are too small to struggle But the
tiny fly has just as much capacity for
suffering as the elephant"
1T hadn't struck me that way before, -
said Mr.. Carey. Next time l desire to
smash a mosquito, I'll restrain myself,
coax him into confidence with lump OF
sugar and administer chloroform before

WORD 'CADET" IS
To Be DROPPED
Jane Addams Promises to Heed
Military Mems Protest ReIa-
tive to Misuse of Term.

COLUMBIA, MO-, Oct. 1.-THE word

men in the underworld.
This is the promise of Miss Jane Ad-
dams, the noted sociologist, to Lieu
tenant Ellery Farmer, of Columbia.
commandant of cadets in the Missouri
State Military school at the University
of Missouri.
Lieutenant Farmer wrote to Miss Ad-
dams telling her the word cadet was
used in a respectable sense by military
men. He said the graduates of the
United States Military academy at West
Point are cadets and that the students
at military schools throughout the
country have the same title.
He asked Miss Adams if she would
discontinue the use of the word, so Il
could be saved to good usage.
Military men do not want to use the
word cadet" he told her. when 1t is
also used in the Technology of the
white slave traffic"
Miss Adams has omitted the word in
her new book on the social evil, and 1t
is believed writers on sociological sub
jects will not again use the word.
Observers of the white slave traffic
are not agreed on a substitute word,
but 1t is probably some distinctive term
will be adopted. The word "maquer-
eaux" has been used by some.
