HALF OF CONVICTS
ARE MAN SLAYERS
PRISON COMMISSIONS REPORT
GIVES FACTS ABOUT THE
PENAL POPULATION.

1t has long been known that murder
is a crime most prevalent in Georgia,
but its extent is not generally known.
The annual report of the prison com
mission, which has just been issued,
shows that of the $3.50 felony con-
victs now in the penitentiary of the
state 1,005, more than one-third of
the total, are 'lifers," large major
ity of them serving time for homicide.
In fact 994, all of the lot save eleven,
are set down as murder" convicts.
This, however, does not include all
of the manslayers doing time in the
penitentiary There are 426 who are
serving sentences for manslaughter
in its varying degrees. Twelve are
doing time as accessories to murder
and 215 for murderous assaults. Al
together the homicides and would-be
homicides sum the astounding figure
of 1882, almost one-half of the en-
tire population of the penitentiary
ION january 1, 1920, the date at
which the report was made.
The next crime in popularity, but
a bad second to murder, is burglary.
There are $50 representatives of the
grand order of yeggmen" working
for the state without pay. Other Of
fenses come far down in the list as
compared with these two. There
are 1877 credited with larceny, 68
with forgery, 131 with robbery, ia
with criminal assault, 81 with max
ing whisky, 20 with car breaking and
II with shooting at another, which
latter might with propriety be in
cluded along with the murderers and
would-be murderers.
No Newspaper Man in Prison.
Classified by occupations, farm la
b6rers are in the lead with 1,042;
plain laborers come next with 958
and public work laborers with 344.
The vast majority of these, of
course, are negroes, and they make
up the colored population of the PEN
itentiary.
Of the professions lawyers and
doctors are equally represented with
four each, while the ministry leads
them both, there being six convicts
set down as preachers. There are
I46 chauffeurs, 20 carpenters, IL
painters, IL blacksmiths, II brick
masons, At cooks, IS nurses, 16 me-
chanics, 50 farmers, 81 railroad
hands and 21 housekeepers. Three
policemen, one convict warden and
one fnger-print expert have got on
the wrong side of the law and have
taken the places of the men they
used to hunt or guard. 1t is no.
ticeable fact that no newspaper man
or printer appears on the invidious
roll.
In addition to the felony convicts
there are in various camps of the
state POPS misdemeanor prisoners,
making the penal population OF
Georgia 4,975.
There are. two convicts serving
their seventh term, four serving
their sixth term, one serving his fifth
term, twenty-five serving their
fourth term, ninety-six serving their
third term and 369 serving their sec
ond term.

white house stationery and signed
margaret Wilson," thanking him for
his courtesy and enclosing dime.

MARRIED HER SLAYER
HOUR BEFORE DEATH
The Ceremony Followed Fatal Re-
volver Shot. Husband Was Ar
rested When GirI-Wife Died.

An hour before Viola Carpenter
died in Chicago hospital she was
married to Robert M. Taylor who,
the police say, fired the shot which
killed her.
The girl and Taylor had lived to-
gether for a year, during which time
a wedding license and wedding ring
had been kept in the house. While
joking about what would happen if a
burglar appeared, Taylor said, the
revolver was discharged.
When it was seen that the girl
could not live she begged that the
ceremony be performed. A priest
was hastily summoned and Taylor, in
the custody of the police, married
the girl whose life he had taken.
She died an hour later.
The police believed the story of
accidental shooting as told by both
husband and wife and released him.

EATS WITHOUT CHEWING
Iron Worker Whose Jaws Locked
Eight Years Ago Has Lived on
Soft and Liquid Foods.

Eight years ago John Bippus, 20
years old, of Chester, Pa, ate his last
solid meal. Since then he has been
living on soft and liquid foods. He has
aten approximately $500 meals with
out moving his Jaws.
When II years old Bippus, an iron

certain ligaments and sinews. The
mans jaws closed to within a small
fraction of an inch and surgeons have
failed to place them in motion.

FORCES HAVE LINED
UP FOR HARD FIGHT
UNUSUALLY LIVELY SESSION OF
GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEM-
BLY, is EXPECTED.
SEVERAL STORMS BREW
One of the Most Bitterly Contested
Fights Will Be Over Powdered
Milk" Tax Laws and Highway
Legislation Will Furnish Argument.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Even before the
gavels tapped in the house and SEN
ate it became evident that all is not
to be smooth sailing at this session of
the legislature. Several storms have
shown up in the ofing and there is
every prospect that the controversy
over some of the measures will devel-
op into pitched battles of no mean i'm
portance.
Aside from the expected set-to over
proposals to revise the tax laws, to
increase appropriations for various
departments and institutions and to
complete the highway program it now
appears that one of the most bitterly
contested fights of the session will be
staged over the measure which pro-
ivides stringent restrictions and regu-
powdered milk"
/ At the 1919 session bill was in
+ troduced and passed by the house fix
/ ing tax of 25c gallon on "pow-
dered milk" the measure originating
/ in the department Of the state veter-
marian, DR.. P. F. Bahnsen, and gain
ing the support of a considerable
number of members in the lower
branch, The bill also provides that
restaurants, hotels and in fact all es-
adjustments using powdered mill"
shall display placards carrying in big
black type the words eve Use Pow
dered Milk"
Powdered Milk Fight.
The manufacturers of this product
put up strong fight last year, but
were unable to prevent the passage
of the bill in the house. This year
they have begun their campaign early
and backed by considerable sentiment
among the club women of the state
have declared their intention of wag-
ing battle to the bitter end in the
senate. They insist that powdered
milk" which is said to be milk evap
GRATED to the point of dessication, i
: legitimate product containing all o.
the food values of fresh milk and al
a lower price than the fresh article
DIR. Bahnsen is just as emphatic in his
contention that powdered milk,
while available for some purposes
should not be sold to the public with
out being plainly labeled and should
not be allowed to compete in the open
market on the same basis with fresh
milk, thus reducing the returns to the
dairymen.
1t promises to be pretty fight that
will consume considerable time in the
senate.

$4,000, coo MORTGAGE ON
WOOLWORTH BUILDING
Loan Necessary to Pay Federal and
State Inheritance Taxes.

Loan Necessary to Pay Federal and
State Inheritance Taxes.
NEW YORK.-Heirs of the late
F. w. Woolworth have obtained
from the Prudential Life Insurance
company of Newark a loan of 49,
100000 on the Woolworth building.
The mortgage will run for five years
and bear interest at the rate of 6 per
cent.
The money has been borrowed to
help meet the state and federal in
heritance taxes, amounting to S.
100000 which the estate owes.
The loan is one of the largest
placed in the city since the first of
the year, and its negotiation reveals
the fact that the Woolworth building,
tallest in America, has been carried
unencumbered since its erection a
decade ago.

look also discouraged expectation or

was beariSh to the extent that it has

to the growing wheat crop. The mar
ket Is entirely influenced by the abtli-
" of industrial users to pay high
prices, and the big premiums for cash
corn have not yet brought any sur
plus to market.
Oats-The urgent demand for cash
oats brought many reluctant buyers
into the futures market, causing a
new high level Of prices for all de-
liveries. Cash premiums, in view of
the recent sharp advance, are diff
ficult TO account for except by the
light receipts and the extraordinary
feeding demand from the southwest.
The latter is explained by the delay
