with the missing husband as the latter

and whose skull was fractured. He said
the man was Joseph Daniels"
The wife's grief quickly turned to
fury when she saw her missing husband
still alive, and tears gave way to bitter
words as she rushed to his side and,
Selling him by the shoulder, accused
him of deserving her and trying to give
testimony that would have led her to
believe that he was dead
Leaving the chapel. the wife and the
suPdued husband entered a cab and
were driven to railroad station. The
identity Of the dead man has not been
established.

Would Hold Parents Responsible for Girls
FINES IF DAUGHTERS ERR

As an effective means of safeguard
ing Atlanta's young girls. Chief Of De-
tectives Newport Lanford, whose de,
partment 10 daily confronted by this
problem today announced his advocacy
of "A stringent law to hold parents le-
gallv responsible for the conduct Of
girls between the ages of y and 16
years.
This is the only solution Of the prob
lem said the chief.
we must reach erring girls through
their parents If the parents will not
keep girls off the streets and away
from evil associates. then the law
should handle the parents and impose
on them a severe penalty"
If parents throw up their hands in
and admit they are incom-
petent and unable TO contrib their girls,
then they would be relieved Of the pen
atty Of the law, according TO the plan
Of chief Lanford Instead Of dealing
with the parents, the courts would then
proceed against the offending girls,
using the parents as witnesses against
them. and placing them in an institu-
ton of correction where the parents
would exercise no authority over them.
70 to IS Period the Worst
THE majority Of girls going to ruin
in Atlanta are between the ages OF y
and Is years said Mr. Lanford and
our energies must be directed to this
class For this reason ! am in favor
of holding parents specifically respon-
sible for the conduct Of girls between
these ages. This law should be strin-
gent and be vigorously enforced. 1t
should provide thar girls between -
and Is years must not 80 upon the

ADMITS THEFT TO SAVE
RECORD FOR VERAClTY

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-"I never

doing it now" said Myer Myerson, a
young man, when asked at the central
police court whether it was true that
he had stolen a watch and chain and
$40 in cash from Benjamin Udis, by
whom he was formerly employed.
Certainly ! stole the watch and
chain said the prisoner; and as it is
incumbent on me to tell the truth,
may say that l sold the watch for
$3.50 The mans statement was veri-
fed by an investigation made by De-
tective Timlin. Myerson was held in

accompanied by their parents, or other
grown members Of the family. or some
other reputable person. This will not
prevent the girls from having sweet
hearts, as any respectable young man,
acceptable to the family, will be per-
mitted
The law should provide a warning
for parents for the first offense. If "A
girl is found trotting the streets alone
the second time, following this warn
ing then 1t would be up to the par
ents. They would be hailed to court,
where the penalty should be a heavy
fine Il wouldn't be long, then, until
our streets would be free Of so many
of these little flirting grls-at least,
they wouldn't roam the streets alone to
do as they please and fall into bad
War on Corner Washers.
Chief Lanford says the situation in
Atlanta is serious and is daily growing
worse. He says the detective depart
ment is doing its best to handle it, but
that. in the absence of home Of cor
rection or any law bearing on the sub
ject, the problem Is difficult
The chief also advocates provision
in the law to strike at the street corner
Washers, particularly during the hours
when Atlanta's high school girls and
hundreds Of other school girls are on
the streets on. their way to and from
school.
This flirting between Washers and
school girls is a menace TO the girls
that we should look to without further
delay" he said. I'VE must drive the
Washers from the streets, for the inno-
cent school girl is at their mercy"

Eaton, March 2T.-With the first

new Eaton gymnasium to be erected

be built sufficiently large to accom-

The building will be built pre-
eminently as gymnasium and
Mace in which Eaton's basket ball
teams may hold their games. The
Eaton nigh school is provided with
a gymnasium but it is not large
enough to accommodate the crowds
which always attend the basket ball
games. The new building will also
be used for dancing, a place i'll fact
to hold any public meeting of any
kind whatsoever. 1t will be a large
substantial affair free from ginger

roomy. With his usual spirit to
erect good, substantial buildings

which erected Mr. Eaton will push
the building to completion and it is
expected to be ready for use by next

BY far the most sweeping ar
raignment of this country's courts
and their methods made recently
was that by Mayor laynor, himself
a former judge.
Il want to state quite frankly
that the judiciary of this country is
the worst department we have. The
trials are not only long, but the un-
certainty of results almost deter
people from going into court. There
is no excuse for all this delay of the
law, in my opinion. In the courts
Of London a case comes up one
month and is literally tried and dis
posel of the next month. That is
because the English judges are so
trained and SO efficient.
LAS for the technicalities of the
criminal courts. they are appalling.
The judges themselves and most of
the people at large don't understand
that the legal phrases on which
these modern harmful technicalities
are based really grew out of merely
the good intentions of the judges of
several centuries ago. who wanted
to avoid giving prisoners the ex-
treme penalties of the old laws.
Larceny, for example. in Eng
land was once punishable by death.
SO the judges in England got into
the way of inventing excuses to be

English law, and humane judge,
not believing that man should die
for a dog. ruled that dog was not
property, because a dog was a wild
animal. So now, even to this day.
it is great question in law as to
whether a dog really is property or
not
Our only remedy is by constitu-
tional amendment" he continued.
That is one way of putting into
operation this recall 1t has been
going on for years. and anybody
who thinks there's anything new in
this recall ought to go to school
again. Some years ago l discussed
it in the New Rochelle Forum. l
said all this when l was on the
bench. and | am not at all afraid to
submit it now to the enlightened in
telligence of this country
In conclusion the mayor reverted
to the court of appeals decisions
which he had criticised, saying:
There must be constitutional
convention in this state once every
ten years. I'll risk nothing in pre-
dieting that these decisions will all
be recalled at the next constitu-
tional convention"
