ANOTHER JACK THE RIPPER

Atlanta, Ga, April lO.-Another
series of Jack the Ripper crimes.
which spread terror among the col
ored people few years ago. has ap-
parently been launched in Atlanta ,bv
the mysterious and frightful maniac
whose victims are negro women
found dead with their skulls crushed
and their threats cut from ear to ear.
Yesterday party of school child
rem returning home on Sells avenue
were attracted by an object living in
clump of bushes near the street, and
on investigation they found that it
was none other than a Jack the Rip
per victim, murdered in the usual
british way, negro woman with her
skull crushed by some blunt instru-
ment, and her throat slashed open in
a horrible way.
A few years ago large number of
negro women, most of them faithful.
Woodworking servants in the homes
OF white people. were murdered in
this strang way which the police were
never able to explain, and apparently
the homicidal maniac is again loose
in the city.

GRANTS DIVORCES BY
LAWS OF GEORGIA

Atlanta. Ga, April l2.-Although
Judge John T. Pendleton, of this city.
is strong advocate of better mar
riage and divorce laws, which he be-
lieves to be absolutely necessary to
curb the growing evil of divorce and
broken homes, at the same time he
must conduct his court in accordance
with the laws as they evist and not
in accordance with the rules for di-
vorce laid down in the scripture.
When the usual question as to
whether they entertained any con-
scientious scruples against the grant
ing of divorces was being put yester-
day to a panel of jurors in Judge
Pendleton's court, Augustus Rich
mond, railroad clerk, replied that
he would not grant a divorce except
as laid down in Holy Writ.
THE Court is a believer in the
Bible" said Judge Pendleton, "but
it must try cases according to the
laws of Georgia. and hence the gen.
tleman is disqualified"

DISABLED MEN WILL BE
REHABILITATED ON RETURN

Atlanta, Ga, April l2-Men of the
army and navy disabled in the war
will be re-educated and rehabilitated
by the government when they return
home, if congress passes bill which
has just been introduced by Senator
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and which
is of very much interest to soldiers
here and elsewhere, especially on the
eve of their expected early departure
for Franc.
The bill is the necessary harbinger
of wars misfortunes. 1t recognizes
the tragic fact that many wounded
American soldiers will return home
bereft of an arm, or leg, or an eye
or both eyes, and permanently dis
abled in other ways to resume their
former occupations.
The bill introduced by Senator
Smith provides for an appropriation
to pay the cost Educating these
men for useful and productive occu-
pations under the guidance of the
federal bureau for vocational educa-
ton, and provides for the fullest con-
servation by the nation of its man
power, which is the plan adopted by
all the belligerent nations of Europe.

A dugout door opened quickly In a
trench and a gruff voice was heard to
say, "Fertig,' meaning ready. Sud
denly a brilliant rocket went up and the
Americans threw themselves fiat on the
ground just as a machine gun began to
spit bullets in their direction. A few
feet away a heavy object struck the
ground. This was found later to be a
bomb which had been hurled from the
German trench.
The corporals stayed where they
were for some time and listened to the
German soldiers talk among themselves.
One Of the corporals understood Ger

to their dugout the smaller patrol
joined the large one which soon after
was the target for fifteen or twenty
German shells, but no one was hit.
