 and Beaten

John Dowdell, negro employe of the Stockham Pipe and Fittings com pany, 622 Sixteenth street. south, was attacked and severely beaten by five or six white men yesterday morning between and 3:30 o'clock, between the Ginworks and Tenth avenue. Dowdell made his way to the plant where he laid his battered form out on a bench. Medical attention was soon procured for him and he was sent to his residence.
 Dowdell stated that he was walk ing rapidly as he was due to his job at o'clock in the morning. when he was halted by the white men. They first asked him where he work ed and he displayed his employment badge. They cursed him. according to Dowdell declaring at the time that he could find a badge any where. They rext asked him If he had any money and without waiting for a reply, one of the men struck him in the mouth, knocking one of his teeth out and then the rest of the men began beating him until he was down. Then they left.
 Dovdell was unable to say, and some doubt exists as to whether the men were strikers or not.

M'DUFF ASKSFOR 1OO ADDITIONAL
 MENTOR HIS FORCE
Will Present Needs For Larger Police Force to Commis- SionerS-WilI Add S100,-
 900 to Budget

Realizing the pressing demand for a greatly increased police and detec- tive force, due to the phenomenal growth of Birmingham within the past 10 years, Chief of Police Fred H. McDuff yesterday announced that he will make every effort when the new budget is made up to have the department increased by at least 100 men, including detectives, foot men, motor scouts and traffic of ficers.
 This will bring the Birmingham force up to 2s2 men, which will in- clude every one on the pay roll of the department from chief down to the janitor. The increased force will call for s1o0.0oo increase in the budget. according to Chief Me- Duff.
 Chief McDun pointed out, that the present force is now covering a large amount of territory, there being 52 square miles comprising what is known as Greater Birming- ham. This will not allow quite two @A~A NS eAAC GRdoAS lHiAct do OnlS 1U@ members of the department com prise foot men and call men.
 Special Duties
 In giving some of the reasons why Birmingham should have a much larger force. Chief McDuff stated that ball games, strikes. such as Is on at the present time. draw from the regular force to a great extent. There are at least Is to 20 men detailed from the regular shifts each day for special duty. Which seriously hampers the good work of the department.
 Atlanta, covering a total of 26 square miles. have an average of 10 men to the mile. Columbus, O., cover ing 24 square miles and having a population of 2e1,Oo0, has a police force of 309 men. Rochester. N. Y, covering 32 and s5-1O0 square miles and having population of 2s5,- 750 miles has 409 officers on it's force. or an average of 12 officers to the square mile. Chief 4cDuff stated that if Birmingham had 12 men to the square mile, the force would be augmented to a total of 624 men.
 Force Too Small
 In addition to the inadequate number of patrolmen for & city the size of Birmingham. Chief McDuff states, the detective force is entire- ly too small and for that reason cannot give the time necessary to follow up serious crimes. More traffic officers are needed at crowd ed intersections of the city and larger force of motor scouts to check speeding and other traffic law vio- lations, said the chief.
 Chief McDuff expresses confi- dence that he can impress the city commissioners with his contention for a larger police force.
