NEGRO HELD
AS 81 AVER
IS RIPPER

In Henry Brown. a negro who this
morning confessed to killing Eva
Green in Pittsburg last November, the
Atlanta detective department again be-
lieves it has captured the man respon-
sible for the majority of the Jack 1.-The
Ripper" crimes last year
Brown is 35 years old He was cap
tured in West End last Monday, but
maintained his innocence until this
morning, when the overwhelming evil
dence forced confession. Detectives
Cocker and Handy, who made the arrest,
believe that the other ripper" crimes
can be traced to him
Brown will be bound over this after
noon by Recorder BroyIes
Half dozen Saturday nights in sue
cession last year negro woman was
found murdered by the police The
death usually was a slit across the
throat Crimes of this nature contin-
ued into the winter. The number Of
negro women victims was more than
fifteen
Peculiar circumstances marked the
murder Of each of the women and led
the police to believe that al or most
of the crimes We're committed by the
same person. The victim was always
slashed with a knife, in each instance
her shoes were removed and taken
away from the scene of the tragedy
| and in several cases money was left
in the womans purse. showing thai
robbery was not the object. The police
were led to believe that a maniac, his
mind obsessed with passion for crime
had done the work They followed
many cleWs, and made several arrests
but We're never convinced that they haG
captured the mysterious Black JACK
the Ripner.'

JOHNSTON HITS
POLITICAL RING
He Says He'll Fight 1t if Elected
Mayor of AtIanta-Street
Conditions Denounced.

The quietest mayors race Atlanta
has known for many years was enliv-
ened a bit today by the announcement
former councilman.
Mr. Johnston declares that every cit
izen of Atlanta knows there exists here
a political clique.
1T is commonly referred to as a
ring" he says. This ring, through
certain combinations, shrewd manipu-
lations and secret caucuses has grown
more powerful year by year, until today
1t is a menace to the city. 1t is but a
short step from ring domination to boss
rule Graft and corruption are hand
maidens Of boss rule.
Il have no sympathy for such politi-
cal combinations, and, If | am elected
mayor | promise the people of Atlanta
to put an end to this evil"
Mr. Johnston, in his written state
ment, takes up the different branches
of the city government and tells what
improvements he thinks are needed
He declares that the streets of At
lanta are disgrace to an enterprising
CITY. He says there are miles of streets
in Atlanta that a wagon can not ira
verse. He says it is shame that there
isn't decently paved street to Grant
park. The trouble, he points out, is not
the construction department, but lack
of system and the fact that the work is
''doled out as political sop to satisfy
the councilmen and aldermen from the
various wards"
He wants increased appropriations
for all departments and says that with
proper funds and encouragement the
health department can stamp out tu-
bercuosis and typhoid fever.

KRAZE KAT KUERY
SOLVED BY MANY
Atlanta Editor One of the First
to Answer Soda Clerk and
Change Problem.

Atlantans are familiar with the gold
coinage Of their country, to judge from
the flood of answers which piled in
within an hour after the Krazy Kat
Kwestion in yesterdays first edition of
The Georgian reached readers in the
street. There were many who puzzled
over the problem of the soda clerk and
said it couldn't be done" but a lot of
them got the answer after a few mo-
ments' hard thinking.
The question was: How could the
soda jerker who had sold a five-cent
drink make change for a five-dollar
bill when he couldn't make change for
a one? Why, he took the five, gave the
customer a $3.50 gold piece, a two-dol-
lar bill and 45 cents in silver.
Here are some of the first to answer
the problem correctly:

DENVER, Sept. 1.-THE scarlet

problem of the social evil never can
be solved by the enforcement of law"
This statement by Rev. Robert f. Coyle.
a famous Presbyterian pastor, has Gre
ated considerable discussion here to-
day. Some of the other things the
minister said follow:
But if force is no remedy, if it can
neither restore the woman to society
nor remove the social evil, segregation
can not do so. This latter is not only
repugnant to the moral sense Of right
thinking persons, but at best Is nothing
more than a poor palliative"
