New City Health Officer
Will Introduce Radical
Reforms.
ASKS NEW SYSTEM
ON TRASH DISPOSAL
FavOrs Ordinance For Tuber-
culine Tests of Dairy
Herds.

"I know the people of Richmond are
going to expect effective results from
the health department the next four
years and that ! have great respon-
sibility on my shoulders as secretary
of the health department, but am go
ing to administer the affairs of my
department in an efficient and busi-
ness-like manner and deliver the
goods to the very best of my ability"
This was the statement made today
by DR.. S. G. Smelser, whose appoint
ment as health officer was recently
announced by Mayor-elect Robbins.
Dr. Smelser said that he was now
working on program for the admins
tration Of the health department and
would be ready to make it public with
In few days.
He said one of the principal fea-
lures of this program would be an i'm
proved system for garbage collection
and disposal. In DR.. Smelser's opinion
this branch of the departments work
has been conducted in an inefficient
manner and is in need of the introduc-
ton of radical reforms.
Outlines New Feature.
Just what system the new health
officer is planning for the collection
and disposal of garbage he was not
prepared to outline in detail today.
He said. however, he did not believe
that in the past the city had secured
the best services of the men employed
in the work of collecting garbage and
that he had a plan in mind which
, would guarantee an hour of service
for every hour. of work paid for by the
city, and another plan for the system
attic collection of garbage.
How do you stand on the question
of tuberculosis tests of dairy herds ?"
DR. Smelser was asked.
Il approve of such a plan,' he re-
piled. HToo much care cannot be taken
tot. protect the people from impure
milk. have advised with the city at
torney on the ordinance he is drafting
which provides for the tuberculine
testing of dairy .attle and | believe
it will be an effective measure. The
utmost care will have to be exercised
in the preparation of this ordinance SO
that it will not or.ly be valid but will
work no great hardship on the dairy
men while it provides, at the same
time, thorough protection for the pub
lic."

HAW THORNE
On EVE Of
FREEDOM
Famous Prisoner Quits Federal
Penitentiary Tomorrow, I'M
proved in Health and Happy

Julian Hawthorne, the novelist.
Tuesday is spending his last day as a
prisoner in the United States Federal
Penitentiary Wednesday he will be
free, having served his full term of a
year and a day, and, with DR.. w. p.
Morton. who was indicted and SEN
fenced with him on the charge of
fraudulent use of mails, will go North
on the first train available.
Planning to-day for his release,
Hawthorne was questioned as to his
clothes. He looked over the sober
gray suit, rather shabby and thread
bare. which he wore when he came to
Atlanta a prisoner. Then he dis
carded it, and decided in favor Of a
suit of clothes made in the prison
tailor shop
When measurements were taken it
was found that Hawthorne is moro
stalwart and a broader person than
when he began his prison term.
The life within the prison walls,
with it's daily requirement of exercise,
it's regular hours of recreation. rea-
sonable hours OF work and whole
some fare, has made Hawthorne a
healthier. ruddier person than he was
when he entered. Each day he has
done his ten miles walk around the
prison inclosure, and of all the free
hearted baseball fans around the dia-
mond on Saturday afternoons Haw-
thorne was the most enthusiastic.
At one time during his prison term
he even conffded TO his fellows the
ambition that he might walk TO New
York. He laid no definite plans for
this trip, however, and gave up antic-
ipation of it when parole was denied
him in the summer months.
Neither Hawthorne nor DR.. Morton
likely will remain long in Atlanta,
but will make their way at once from
the prison to the railroad station, to
board their homeward bound train.

When seen at his home DR..
Barron seemed crushed by the
arrest of his son and the accu-
satiOn against him.
As he asserted his firm belief that
his son is wrongfully accused and
declared he could not conceive Of a
Barron being capable Of committing
such a deed, tears welled in the old
mans eyes and there was a tremor
Of emotion in his voice
Prepared to Fight for Son.
1T is impossible for me to believe
my boy guilty of such a crime as is
charged to him" said Mr.. Barron. q

knowing him as do and realizing
that he is a Barron, ! couldn't think
otherwise. l can't conceive Of boy
of his blood and his training stoop-
ing SO low as to commit a crime and
especially take the life of his own
wife, the woman who bore him four
pretty little children.
Feeling this way, l naturally will
fight by his side through this affair,
fight to the very end TO save him and
clear the family name which before
never has been besmirChed. will
spend every penny I have in this
world to save him. but ! wish this
understood should the evidence be
so conclusive as to convince me that
he committed this crime then I'll
