Mrs. Daisy Grace's bond for $4,000
was signed this afternoon by Chess
Lagonarsino, a branch manager of the
atlanta Soda Company, and the wom-
an who is accused of trying TO XIII her
husband and who has been a prisoner
in the Tower foe several weeks, was set

consultation. and then returned to the
nome of Mrs. Louise Wilson in Ashby
street. West End. where she had spent
several weeks prior 10 her commitment
hearing before Justice Ridley
The delay in securing a bondsman
for Mrs. Grace was due to the fact
that professional bondsmen insisted on
heavy fee and a legal security against
loss. Mrs Grace was prevented from
giving this security through her hus-
bands refusal to sign papers permit
ting her TO pledge property in which
he holds an interest under Pennsylvania
laws. To-day Mr.. Lagomarsino, who
owns extensive real estate, volunteered
to sign her bond. and Mrs. Grace's at

Two of Atlantas wealthiest young

OF w S. Witham, the banker with
seven \other autoists and chauffeurs,
will appear before Recorder Broyles
this afternoon to answer to charges of
violating the city automobile ordi
nances.
These cases mark the opening Of a
vigorous crusade started by Chief
Beavers against violators of the auto
laws
Young Gambler is accused Of exceed
ing the speed limit as he was driving
out Edgewood avenue on his way t.
his home in Inman Park. Policemen
Mcdaniel Williams and Robertson,
who have been specially detailed by
Chief Beavers 10 curb speeding auto

When Welchel went back 70 make a
case against the negro chauffeur. he
found him gone. The negro had driven
away in the excitement of Withams
arrest. No case has been made against
the negro so far but Chief Beavers said
this would be done before court con
Venes.
Young Witham was highly indignant
over his arrest. He denied that his
chauffeur was violating the muffler cut
out ordinance. and said he told the Of
ficer the muffler cut-out was not open.
He said the officer appeared much Of
Tended because he spoke UP and threat
ened to arrest him. They then had
few words and the arrest followed.

particularly as to speeding and allow

it seems that the only way to do this
is to make cases" said the chief Time
and time again we have warned auto
lists that these laws must be observed,
but these warnings have been futile.
We don't want to be hard on autoists,
but the safety OF pedestrians and OF the
autoists themselves demands that the

chicken-pox and scarlet fever stand
equal in the number of deaths.
There were six cases of smallpox
during the year, with no deaths.
These cases occurred in three distinct
outbreaks. In no instance was there
any spread of the disease after estab
lishment of quarantine.
Sixteen cases of typhoid fever re-
ported, all occurring during the sum-
mer and early fall months. When it
is remembered that there was much
typhoid fever all around us, this is
really very favorable showing for
Rocky Ford. There was no general
outbreak, neither in location nor in
point of time. The cases were dis
tributed throughout the town and
In about one-third of the cases /
found the patients drinking water
from infected cisterns. AS almost all
of the cases occurred during the
height of the fly season, it is altogeth-
er probable that the flies caused from
one-half to two-thirds of all
Now flies can not carry typhoid fe-
yer without themselves first coming
in contact with discharges from a ty-
phoid patient. almost always the fecal
discharge. This contact must neces-
sarily be made in privies. 1t follows
then that from one-half to two-thirds
of our cases of typhoid can be charg-
ed directly to the privies we are al
lowing to remain in town. This esti-
mate is conservative, No sanitary
officer could be found, knowing the
conditions here. but would tell you
the amount of typhoid fever would
be lessened by more than one-half by
compelling connection with the sew
ers already in existence. And it fol-
lows as night follows day that all of
us in authority in Rocky Ford, who
have had any part in the failure to en-
force sewer connection. must shoul-
der the responsibility for more than
one-half of these cases. Last year
there were four deaths in town from
the disease. Therefore our RESPONSE
bility means responsibility for two
deaths. And this is not all. There
were six deaths from cholera infan-
tum and acute entero-colitis. These
diseases,-the summer diarrhoea of
children-are also almost wholly dis
tributed by flies and carried from
privies. This gives us a total of eight
deaths during the past summer for
which Rocky Ford is responsible be-
cause of not having universal sewer
connection.
1t is no idle statement that sewer
age connection would have lessened
the deaths last summer bv eight
Comparison of the death rates in
| other towns before and after COM
plete sewerage, justifes much
greater claim.
Following / give list OF diseases
