NUMEROUS TRAGIC
EVENTS OCCURRED
DURING PAST WEEK
Record for Tragedies and
Near Tragedies Probably Not
EQuaIIed by Any One Week
in History of the City

This last week will rank as one in
which there have been more tragedies
and near-tragedies. possibly, than
any week in Atlanta's history. There
have been almost a continuous series
of sudden and tragic deaths. Contrasted
with the peacefulness of other periods
for the last several months, the past
weeks wave of tragedies might furnish
an interesting study of psychologists.
The discovery in tie Chattahoochee
river last Sunday of the body of John
Wurm. boy timekeeper, who disappear
ed a week before, was the first of the
tragic events to be brought to light.
Then, two suicides, almost at exact
IL the same hour. one by drinking n.y.
drOcyanic acid and the other by self
inflicted knife wounds on the throat,
followed on Wednesday.
Thursday night, Thomas b. Fielder
was stabbed by a doorkeeper of the
house of representatives in the kimball
house.
The next of the series was the shoot
ing Friday night of l.. Cohen, mer-
chant, by a negro, the shooting taking
place as Cohen stepped to his back
porch Cohen is expected to recover.
Equalling in its gruesomeness any of
the events of the week was the deliberate
morning by Thomas A. Brown, from the
thirteenth story of the Fourth National
bank to the pavement
And the final links in the week S
death chain came late Saturday after
noon when three victims were claimed In
an auto accident just out of Marietta.
Three others were also injured .,...sss.

Danish Papers Oppose
Sale of West Indies
lRn Associated Prass.l


LONDON, Aug. Some of the Dan
ish conservative papers have opened a
violent attack upon the government over
the treaty with the United States for the
sale of the Danish West Indies, accord
ing to Copenhagen disaptch to the EX-
change Telegraph company.
The National Tidende says: I'm a
question of such great Importance for
the whole nation the government acted
in a manner such as its worst antagon-
lists would not have believed it capable.
Nobody but the Danish government
would have risked such a course"
On the other hand Politiken points out
that Denmark several times attempted
to utilize the islands but here efforts
were in vain. This paper says that an
der the present war conditions the
islands might become a danger to DAN
ish neutrality. and that it might be
difficult for Denmark to defend them
from encroachment.

HUNT AUTO BANDITS WHO
MADE OFF WITH $4,000
Hundreds of Persons Smiled at
HoId-Up, Thinking 1t Film
ing of Movie
(By Associated Press

DETROIT, Aug. 5.-Search was being
vigorously prosecuted early today In
every county surrounding Detroit for
the FIVE automobile bandits who, armed
with rifles and automatic pistols, yes
terday afternoon held up the motor pay
car of the Burroughs Adding Machine
company and made off with between
5000 and $4,000, after shooting and
slightly wounding one man.
The robbery, which occurred within
half a block of the Burroughs plant, is
declared to have been the most daring
in the history of Detroit. 1t was acc
cOmplished so quickly that almost be-
fore anyone but the occupants of the
car, a number of guards in car fol-
lowing and the bandits themselves,
realized what was happening, the rob-
bers had transferred five cash bags to
their own machine and were out of
sight. Hundreds of persons who saw
the holdup smiled in the belief that they
were Witnessing the scenario Of a pho
toplay.
One of the robbers is said to have
lost his hat and revolver, both of which
are in the possession of the police.
Nine automobiles filled with Detroit
policemen and two loaded with deputy
sheriffs in command of Sheriff Oakman,
of this county, took up the chase a short
time after the holdup. At latest re-
ports all were securing the surrounding
country except three or four officers,
who returned about midnight and re-
ported they could go no farther in the
search.
Vague reports from several towns and
villages lying outside of Detroit to the
effect that the robbers were believed
to have been seen passing through there
were received, but despite the fact that
every clue was promptly picked up and
followed, the robbers early today were
still at large.

Several of the military powers Of

canal authorities have been warned that
this craft appeared to have been making

perfectly innocent in intent, and only
such soundings were made and bearings
