Every one of you. whether italian.

the ballot depends the past. the pres

if you will become true citizens OF
this republic, it ia a duty devolving
upon you to acquire a knowledge of

ATLANTA, Dec. H. (By AS

viding that the legislature adjourn

was adopted today by the senate.
It must be concurred in the house.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Duke.
Stephen Pace, of Americas, in
troduced the resolution when the
legislature convened after the
Thanksgiving holidays, but it did
not have enough support to carry
it. The passage OF the bill today
marks a fight on the part Of some
of the legislators to complete the
work of the session and adjourn.
The bill win 90 go to the house
during the afternoon or tomorrow
for action. It was thought that
there would be a strong sentiment
in favor of the measure, since the
extra session has already cost the
state more than 100000, and Leg
islators have been in the session,
away from their private business,
for period Of several weeks.

DETECTIVE CHIEF Died
TODAY IN Los ANGELES
Was Specialist In Handling
Cases Involving Bank
Robberies
REFORMED MANY "YEGGS"
Man Who Hunted Safe Blowers
Relentlessly Credited With
Hedging Penitent Ones
REFORMED MANY "YEGGS"

LOS Angles, Cal, Dec IL
(By Asso I!ated Press William
A. Pinkerton, world famous detec-
tive, died here this morning, follow
ing long illness.
One Of the first nored American
cyiminologist to advocate and prac-
Iticc humanitarian methods in deal
ing vita felons. William Allan
E'inkerton, head Of the cPinkerton
National Detective Agency. was
credited with having reformed more
safe blowers and bank thieves than
Iany other man in the country,
Primarily thief-taller, Mr.. Pin-
kerton spent more than SO years OF
his life running down criminals Of
all classes, yet he always stood
ready to proffer a helping hand to
the unfortunate nlalefactor whose
repentance was genuine and whose
desire to reform was sincere.
Knowing criminals and their
methods, their weaknesses and their
human side as perhans no other
man OF his time had known them,
u inlSeHtea 4zRaxer syIa hiEkEl. with
the theorist and the sentimentalist
who sought to reform desperate,
hunted men by kind words, but he
did know that little help and a
little encouragement at the right
time and in the right place were
frequently more effective than inn
prisonment. Scores of former
terminals scattered over the coun-
try are now living honest and use
full lives as a result of the reform
measures practiced by their arch
enemy in their criminal days.
William Allan Pinkerton and
his brother, Robert A. Pinkerton,
succeeded to the business of their
father, Allan Pinkerton, when the
latter died in 1884 after founding
the detective agency which bears his
name. This was before the power
full armor-plated vaults, electrically
operated and protected, were heard
of, and safe blowers were in their
hey-day. Determined to specialize
in bank protection, William Pinker-
ton enlisted the support of leading
financial institutions of the coun-
try and then made a detailed stud
of the men who were preying upor
them. He warned the robbers as
they were arrested;
"You leave my people alone and
III leave you alone. If you don't
I'll follow you to the end of the
earth"
This warning made a deep inn
preston upon many of the most
dangerous thieves, and after few
convictions had been obtained there
was a noticeable decrease in the
number of bank robberies. Some
scoffed at the big detectives warn
iing but most of them were caught
; in time.
William A. Pinkerton was born
in Dundee, ILL.,, April z, 1916. He
was educated in public and private
schools and when ready for college
entered Notre Dame University. AT
the age of 20 he married Miss Mar
garet s. Ashling, of Adrian, Mich,
who died in 1906. Two daughters,
Mrs. Joseph 0. Watkins and Mrs.
William C. Pullman, were born to
| them.

SHE'S TOO BEAUTIFUL
SO MOTHER PUTS LASS
IN RURAL SECULSEON

ATLANTA, Dec. lit is from
the dangers of her own young beau
ty that the loyal family of 14-year-
old Thelma Braswell have snatched
the little girl away a willing pris-
oner into the seclusion of a country
valley.
"She is too good-looking," her
mother sighed when she explained
to a correspondent why Thelma and
herself had been forced to appeal
to the law for protection against
the most ardent of the daughter
suitors, Charlie Smith. With a
marriage license in his hand, young
Smith, % years old, had come to
Thelma with the ancient proposal
turned into a command and a
threat
"TRe st time he saw her,
Charlie Smith began raving to corr
panions about her beauty" said
the anxious mother. "He told them
he was going to marry her"
The mother has rushed her
charming daughter into seclusion
which almost takes the place of a
nunnery.
Il. can never feel at ease about
her. She is just a child And there
VIII be other men like Smith,
Mrs. Braswell fears. Into
the hands of an elder brother and
wife the little blonde beauty has
been placed, with babies to tend
@Ad dishes to wash and many
things to forget.
