CLASH
IN HOUSE OVER
US. WAR FRAUDS
CRIME WAVE IS
DRIVE ON SOCIETY
SAYS JUSTICE G0FF

New York, June 1-Former Su-
preme Court Justice John w. Golf
today declared that, in the present
country wide crime wave I'VE have
an actual war on society"
Justice Golf appeared before the
the American Bar Association. hold
ing a crime symposium in various
cities. after Henry w. Taft, a leader
Of the New York bar, had asserted
that inadequate enforcement of the
criminal law constituted one of the
greatest blots on civilization.
I'm the history Of this country we
have never been confronted by such
crime conditions as today" said
Justice Golf. "A man is less safe in
the streets of New York City than
on the wild plains of the west. not
a day passes without the newspapers
printing notice of some terrible
crime.
whatever the cause, we have an
actual war on secity. 1t would be
wrong for any one having an interest
in law enforcement to think other
wise of it.
Legislation in the past quarter of
century has seemed to favor the
criminals. There has been a relaxa-
ton in every direction. 1t is difficult
to punish a man convicted of murder
with death. It is almost impossible
to convict man for murder in the
first degree. 1t is hard to get a jury
not opposed to capital punishment"
Justice Golf asserted accused per-
quickly, as delay gave an opportun-
ity to disappear and caused public
interest and the energy of prosecut-
ing officials to wane.
He also deplored the facility with
which bail is obtained from bonding
companies, and declared sentences
should be imposed promptly after a
verdict of guilty, as the interim gave
well meaning persons opportunity to
annoy judges with plea for the con-
Victed.
1T also gives opportunity for sin
lister influences to be brought upon
judge, who is but human, and may
be confronted with the problem of
doing his duty or of having his am
i billions for future advancement
checked" he added.
After remarking that women
banded together as prisoner reform
ers who pet and fawn upon crimi-
nails never were seen on the East
Side ministering to honest men. JUS
tice Golf turned to "Psue do scien-
fists under the name of psycholo-
gists, and psycho-analysts, who with
great industry, have worked out the
conclusion that very few persons OF
either sex are without mental de-
fects.
Under the standard of these men
it would be difficult to find a normal
human being" he said.
Referring to the criticism which
Mr.. Taft had made of newspapers
trying" criminal cases. Justice Golf
touched upon 1.-The scandalous ap-
pearance of interviews with attor-
neys engaged to defend or prosecute
cases.
when a case of some notoriety
arises, papers print interviews with
counsel extensively" he said. MEM
bers of the bar are most to blame for
this and in my opinion, 1t is a dis
honorable thing for an attorney to
try his case in the papers before he
goes into court"

Atlanta To Stage
Creat Auto Show
February l1-18th
Bigger and Better than Ever-Entire
South Is Interested

ATLANTA, Ga, In all lines
OF business the question arises, "What
will 1922 bring about" No one can
say with certainty-but there is every
indication that marked Improvement
will come about early in the year.
AS for the automotive business
there is a logical forecast of pro-
nounced stimulation throughout the
year, resulting in such progress as the
industry has never known. That this
condition will directly bear upon all
lines of industry is certainty.
The motor world is facing the new
year enthusiastically and determined.
ly. Never have there been such elab-
crate plans among the larger manu-
facturers of the industry. The vari.
GUS automobile shows to be held avill
be more extensive and lavish than
ever. In Atlanta. during the week of
FEB 1l-l8th, the Atlanta Automo-
bile Association will stage its second
annual show-known as the Great
Southern Automobile Show. This
event is to the South what the large
national shows are to the North and
the East.
Will Revive Business
Automotive men throughout the
South are determined to force a re-
vival of business through the medium
of the Show. Every effort is being
expended, with lavish use of time
and money, to assemble in Atlanta on
these dates the greatest exhibition of
the kind ever held outside of New
York and Chicago. Motor cars of ev-
cry make and model will be displayed,
together with a comprehensive show
ing of trucks. tractors and automotive
equipment.
Large Attendance Expected
AS this show is held in the inter
est of the motor world of the entire
South, a great attendance is expected
from every section. The Show held
in Atlanta last March was attended
by the motoring interests of every
Southern State, and judging from the
present indications the attendance rec
y ord will be far exceeded during the
1922 show.
Extensive features of entertainment
have been arranged and elaborate
decorative effects planned for this ex-
hibition. More than 10000 square
feet of display space will be utilized
for exhibit purposes in the huge mu-
nicipal auditorium of Atlanta. From
n, "'y standpoint. the 1922 Atlanta
l. NV promises to eclipse all previous
N.cnts of this kind held in this sec
ton of the country.
