Workman Crushed
As Theatre Falls

NEW YORK. / l-Svlvester
Rosenthal and Samuel Moskowitz,
owners and general contractors of the
American theatre building, Brooklyn,
the roof and north wall of which col
lapsed Tuesday killing eight men and
1njuring Is others, were arrested la
later on order of District Attorney
Harry E. Lewis, on charge of man
slaughter in the first degree.
Lewis declared he would make ev-
cry effort to hold the men without
bail. The arrests followed examina-
ton OF rs witnesses concerning the
cause OF the cave-in. One theory was
that the wind and rain of the last few
days, beating in on the work, might
have weakened the structure.
IF my theory is correct, the wind
and rain had nothing to do with the
collapse" said the district attorney.
IF my theory is right some one is
going away for long time.''
Six of the bodies recovered from
the debris have been identified. Four
workmen are still missing and may
be buried in the ruins. Eighteen oth-
ers were injured, ten of them being
removed to hospitals.
Small hope was held for the rescue
of any of the men buried beneath the
steelwork which in some cases was
piled ten feet high The caving in of
the roof caused the collapse of brick
building adjoining the theatre, but no
one. was believed to have been. pinned
under this debris.
The great weight of the fallen mass
RFecluded the possibility thaht the
bodies of all, the buried men would be
recovered at once. Some of the beams
were, bent around Others and defied
the Tefforts of volunteer workers to
lift them aside. i.

A change IN the function of the pitu

for the increase of divorce, according
TO DIR. Ernest e. Tucker. of New York
This statement was made at the an

growing wealth of the country and the
increased standard of living is partly
responsible for the change of function
in the gland and Also contributed to

OUR BEST MARIETTA very illuminating ed
it, rial Of the Athens Banner will also bring COM
tort to the thoughtful readers in this section who
are respondent and think everything has gone
wrong. Along with the journals in all Of the ag-
r.cutura sections the Banner has been interested
in the discussions that have been had on finances,
markets and other problems Of the farmers and has
come to certain conclusions and sets them very
aptly as follows:
AS to Finances-We have pointed out that the
South can be flooded with money to raise diversi-
fled crops and livestock, provided our country
banks twill join the Federal Reserve System, and
extend to II months credits to their farmer Gus
TONER'S whose notes be promptly discounted
with the Federal Reserve Bank
AS to diversified crops and the raising OF live
stock, the South hold its own with any section
Of the country in this respect. You cannot sarve
the South if the South ever makes up its mind to
raise its own meat and bread
AS to Markets-We wish to stress the point that
the Southern farmers best market is and always
VII be his own farm There are millions of
bushels of on .he farms of the South today
and the proper lacc Tor most of this corn in the
feeding of more hogs and cattle am chickens,
When The Sou'' realizes In G. half of its ;roubes
are o,,r i A"ns. .~,4.
Let us see how the South has been spending its
cottor money In round figures, Georgia raises
million bales of cotton. At the old price around
ST bale, Georgia's revenue from its cotton crop
around 100 million dollars On such an ag-
i'.utural out turn the South has done business
and prospered for fifty years. But the farms of
the South taken as whole are still just about at
the place they started fifty years ago For the reas-
on, that after the financing charges or advances
were paid by which the cotton crop was grown,
and after the marketing charges were paid where
by the cotton crop turned into money the rest
OF the 100 million was promptly and regularly
sent West to pay for the food and feedstuffs that
was necessary to keep the South alive What the
West didn't get the fertilizer bill ate up. and the
next year the South started out where it was be-
fore, with practically nothing on its farms to show
Tor the labor Of last years crop of cotton.
This year there is more on the farms of the South
than ever before, And the place for most of it
to stay is on the farms of the South Next wears
crop ought to largely add to what is on the farms
OF the South this year in the shape of more to eat
IN more hogs, and cattle and chickens, more barns
and sllos. and more smoke houses, etc.
When the farmers of the South realize that their
best market is on the farm itself, when the South
really begins to live at home and to sell its surplus
whether that surplus is food or meat or cotton
men real and lasting and permanent prosperity
VIII come to the agriculture of the South and to the
thousands OF towns and villages that trade with
the farmers of the South and furnish the local mar
yer places tor the exchange of Southern aqricu1-
ture.
