Citizen-P oIiceman
Charged With Murder
After Fatal Shooting

M. v. Ragsdale, a citizen police
man twenty-five years old, who shot
and killed A. B. Smith, of Is Corrupt
street, while trying to arrest him for
being drunk and disorderly, was
bound over to the state courts Thurs
day by Recorder Johnson on a charge
Of murder
This action followed a three-hour
hearing in the course of which Attor-
ney Jesse Wood, representing the
prosecution, declared the citizen po-
lice force should never have been cre-
ated, because it's members are not
fitted to perform the functions of
policemen.
eff you let this young man 60,
you virtually license him to shoot
any man who does not hold up his
hands when approached by him for
any cause whatever" said the attor-
ney. ut means that no home in At
lanta will be safe. If an officer is
guilty of creating disturbance
when his duty is to maintain law and
order, and if he kills a man as the
result. he is more reprehensible than
the ordinary slayer"
Witnesses at Ragsdale's hearing
testified that he and Policeman B. r.
Hutchinson went to Smiths home to
arrest him. after people in the neigh
borhood had complained that Smith
was drunk and was dangerously dis
orderly. Ragsdale borrowed a loaded
revolver from Charles Etheridge,
manager of a service station across
the street from Smiths home. The
of Hutchinson and Ragsdale were to
search Smiths home for liquor as
we'll as to arrest him, and that they
had no search warrant.

PLIGHT Of FARMERS
Congressional Committees
Meet to Consider Means
of Remedying Present
LoW-Price Situation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. The
plight of farmers due to falling
prices was taken up yesterday to con-
gress.
Agricultural committees Of the
senate and house in joint session
began hearings on conditions brought
about by falling prices preliminary
to devisirg relief measures. They
decided to ask Secretary Houston and
Governor Harding, of the federal re-
serve board, to come before them to-
morrow after Eugene Meyer, Jr., for
mer head of the war finance corpora
ton, had declared that rehabilitation
Of that body would go long step
towards furnishing the desired relief
by financing exports of surplus
crops.
Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska,
told the conference he planned to in
troduce measures making available
the profits of the federal reserve
banks, amounting to about $60,000,-
900, for loans to agricultural inter-
ests.
The money which Senator Hitch
cock would have advanced to the
farmers is the governments share In
profits Of the federal reserve banks
payable next month and which, I'M
der the law, would be used to in
crease gold reserves or amortize
Liberty bonds. .-.
Loans would be made through the
"a vi,
cages or warehouse receipts with
agricultural products or live stock
as security. Loans on grain would
be limited to six months and those
on live stock to one year.
This would be only drop in the
bucket toward meeting the enormous
needs of agriculturists," said Sem
ator Hitchcock, but it would have
good effect beyond the actual
amount of money made available"
Governor Harding, with whom the
Nebraska senator conferred. issued
"a statement saying that neither he
nor the board had taken any stand
on the proposition. He declared he
had criticised Senator Hitchcock's
plan, but that the matter was one
not within the province of the board
as 1t concerns the use Of funds which
the law required should be paid into
the treasury. ~ y
Legislation extending a billion-dol-

IN STATE IS PLAN

That steps will be taken to bring
about the establishment of Juvenile

nounced Thursday by the state board

The juvenile court law Of Georgia

According to Mr.. Blackburn, only
fifteen juvenile courts have been es-
tablished in Georgia, while in ali
other counties the children who Of
fend against the law are tried in the
regular way, incarcerated in the reg
ular Jail or lookup, and in other re-
spects handled like regular criminals
and law violators.
The board of public welfare has
obtained from Graham Wright, as
sistant attorney general, a ruling as

they have no discretion. because the
provisions of the act are mandatory.

Mind Reader" Declares
Pittrn ans Are Right in
Mixed Baby Case

If Alexander, the self-styled crys-
tai gazer at the Atlanta theater, will
come to Atlanta three weeks hence
and testify under oath at the trial
of the mixed babies" case, his as
sistance will be welcomed and all
his expenses will be paid by Will
liam E. Arnaud, attorney for Mr..
and Mrs. John c.. Garner.
Mr.. Arnaud made this statement
Thursday morning, after Alexander
had told Mr.. Garner at the theater
Wednesday night that the Garner
baby is dead and the baby they are
seeking Is the child Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniel L. Pittman.
In brief. Mr.. Arnaud lays down
a public challenge to Alexander to
prove his statement.
When Alexander called out the
name of John Clarence Garner at
the theater Wednesday night In the
course of his "Simla Seance," Mr..
Garner rose from his seat in the
front of the house.
'Mr. Garner. you are wondering
If a member of your family is
Alexander, holding Mr.. Gamers
hand.
Mr.. Garner nodded.
"The member of your family about
whom you worry was an infant-a
girl. Was not?
Another nod from Garner.
THAT baby is Dead" said Alex
ander. He continued. you are in
doubt whether a living uaby Is yours
or Is the baby of another family?"
YES" said Garner.
THAT baby is not yours" declared
Alexander. ut Is the baby of Mr..
and Mrs. Pittman"
Such was Alexander's own solu-
ton of the question as to whether
Louise Madeline, the living baby, or
Mary Elizabeth. the dead baby, was
born to Mrs. Garner.
Afterward Mr.. Garner said that
Alexanders statement had by no
means satisfied him. He announced
his intention of going on with the
case, which is on the calendar in the
about three weeks
Mr.. Arnaud had more to say Thurs
day.
This is a serious matter" declar-
ed the Gamers attorney. 1.-THE hap
piness Of two families is involved.
and the destiny of a little child If
Mr.. Alexander can assist us to solve
the problem. we welcome his assist
ance, for we only want the truth.
However. it seems to me that if
Mr.. Alexander knows the truth of
this case-and he makes no bones
about saying he Knows all and tell
all-he will. be willing to tell the
truth in court and to explain how he
arrives at his conclusions.
Therefore. L wish to ask Mr.. Alex
ANGER two things-first. if he will be
willing to come to Atlanta and tes-
tlfy in the case? And, second, if
he Will be willing to answer ques-
tons as to how he reached his con-
clusion? l am sure Mr.. Alexander,
who is professional question an
swerer, should be willing to do this.
And I wish to say that I will pay
all his expenses to come to Atlanta
and remain here during the trial.
even though his testimony should be
against my client.
I'm other words. if Mr.. Alexander
has anything really authentic to go
by, we would like to know it. Or, if
It. is merely guess work on his part,
we feel he owes it to everyone in
terested in this case to admit as
much"
Inquiries at Alexander's hotel as
to whether he would accede to Mr..
Arnaud's request were met with the
answer that he could not see any
one, as he was too busy answering
questions

FORTY IDEAL AGE L: FOR WOMEN
English Artist Sweeps Away Time
Honored Ideas Having to Do
With Spinsterhood.

There is furry among English
spinsters. A prominent artist has
come to the conclusion that girl Of
forty should be mans ideal. He
sweeps away all the time-honored rub
bish about spinsters at the age Of
forty being mostly interested in cats
and canaries. Here is what he has
to say about the new old girl.
"The ideal age for woman from
the viewpoint Of the man who studies
the sex as an artist Is forty years.
The woman of forty is at the perfec-
ton Of her beauty and has attained a
settled mentality which she did not
possess as girl in her teens, or as
a young woman In her twenties and
thirties. At forty she is an ideal COM
panion, pleasantly matured, tolerant
and understanding. Only the igno-
ramuses in life find JOY in the society
of young girls or undeveloped
women"
During the war and since many
women of the so-called "sWeet-and-
forty" age got married. a consider
able number Of them widows. This
has led to frequent lamentations by
younger women that, with the huge
number of unmarried beauties about,
it is unpatriOtic for Cupid to show
such favoritism for widows and spin
sters.
