Z AUTO BANDITS
TAKEN IN WILD
NIGHT CHASE
Youths Decoy Taxi Driver to OBJ
scure Place, Rob Him and
Flee With Machine.

Following a wild auto chase across
Fulton and Cobb Counties Sunday
night, the Atlanta police Monday have
in Jail two taxicab hold-up men Civ
ing the names of c. A. Gray and Will
liam Paul Gray, of Birmingham. Aft
err robbing A. C. Hodge and stealing
his machine, the men gave him a
dime for carfare back to town.
The police will seek to identify these
two men with other Atlanta holdups
and similar crimes in other Southern
cities.
The two Gravs decoyed Augustus
C. Hodge, taxi driver TO Neal and
Ashby streets on the pretext that thew
were legitimate fares
Rob Him at Pistol Point.
There they confronted him with
Colt revolvers, robbed him of $l.45,
compelled him to show them how to
run the machine, then left him on the
sidewalk while they rode into the
country at top speed. Hodge is en-
ployed by the j. A. Gwinn Taxicab
Company
Hodge telepnoned ponce neauqudr-
tiers, and two automobile loads of Of
ficers soon were travelling 60 miles an
hour in the wake of the bandits. AT
Buckhead they picked up Lieutenant
Cheshire, of the county police.
Race Through County.
Out along the Howell Mill road
raced the pursuers, then on through a
maze of country roads into Cobb
County. At times the front machine
could see the taxicab of the bandits
weaving and careening crafty in the
gloom ahead. That was between Ma
bleton and Smyrna.
Just before they reached Middleton
the bandits heard a tire explode. So
they stopped and built fire. The
officers machines stopped beside
them. The bandits just grinned, and
went ahead with their fire-making.

MILLS VIOLATING
LAW, SAYS JUDGE
County Official Urges CompuI-
sorry Education as Help in
Checking Child Labor.

Sixty-four per cent of the cotton
mills of Georgia are willfully violat-
ing the provisions of the State child
labor law, asserted Judge w. w. Tin
dali, of the Juvenile Court of Fulton
County, who conducted the Sunday
evening services at the Ponce DeLeon
Avenue Baptist Church. Judge Tin
DAN quoted from statistics compiled
by the Government to substantiate
his charge.
Ignorance is responsible for this
condition of affairs" said the judge.
What we need most in this section
of the South is compulsory educa-
ton"
He said the argument that compul-
sorry education would necessitate a
double school system, one for the
whites and one for the negroes, is
pure buncombe.
I'VE have the negro problem to
face here, and in what better manner
could we face it than to teach the
negro to take care of HIMSELF" asked
Judge Tindall
The North, he said, has had more
difficult situation than the negro
problem to deal with. the mainte-
nance of an element of population it
could not assimilate-the foreigner.
