FOR EACH CROOK HIS TATTOO
Woman Suggests Marking Criminal
on Cheek or Forehead.
Among the helpful letters daily n
ceived by Mayor Mitchel came on
yesterday signed "Mme. Mercury.
She wrote that since all other form
of punishment had failed she woul
suggest that each criminal be tal
totoed with a suitable mark across hi
forehead or on the cheeks.
9
"A pickpocket," she said, "shoul
have a long fingered red hand grasi
ing a purse tattooed on the cheek. .
black hander should have a blac
heart pierced with a red dagger,
gunman should be marked with
red hand grasping a gun, grafter
with a hand grasping the long greei
thugs marked with a blue hand rasi
ing a blackjack, burglars marke
with a dorrlock and pick.
"Please give this system a tria
she asked. "It is humane and wi
not require any extra expense. Se
*
now many ? gunmeu, pivivyutacu
murderers and thieves the police ca
tattoo in the next twelve months an
you will realize the o?d axiom c
'catching before hanging.'
"The' system would lower the cos
of living, reduce* the cost of mair
taining prisons and make all the poo
and criminals self-supporting, ta>
paying citizens.
. " "The revolution that 1 suggest i
the system of handling crime an
criminals will rotate the wheels c
crime backward into oblivion i
time."
The mayor received Mme. Mei
cury's suggestions too late to incoi
porate them in the Goethals polic
bills.

Two Negroes Killed.
The negroes are keeping up thei
record of killing each other in thi
county. Last Thursday a negr
named Richard Moultrie was sh(
and killed by James Rice, the kil
ing occurring on the plantation c
Mrs. P. W. Sandifer. Rice made h:
escape, but as the dead negro wj
- ?- ?:i.n - ~u
iouna in a nouse wuu a. pi&tui m n
hand, it looks to be a case of se
. defence.
On the plantation of Mr. O. I
Kearse, in the Kearse section, la:
Saturday night, Freddie Breland she
and killed John Sparks. It appeal
that a crowd of negroes were drinl
ing and passed Breland's housi
cursing, and that Breland tired k
shot gun several times to frighTe
them away, but one load took effe<
in Sparks side, killing him. If th
negroes keep up the rate of killin
each other in this county as the
have for the past few months, the
will solve the race problem.

3L Bandits \\ reck and Loot Two Louiso
iana Banks.
L
New Orleans, Feb. 2.?Bank ban- 4
*r dits Friday and Friday night obtain- p
ed nearly $10,000 from two North ^
it Louisiana banks and created a reign j
n of terror. j
The first was at noon in the Bank j
k of Logansport, La., near Shreveport, g
is The second was at night at Winns- q
boro at the Winnsboro State bank. (
j F"our persons, two farm boys, were q
arrested by posses and have confess- q
ed to the Logansport robbery, ac- q
cording to the police. The bandits, q
? - -
^ WHO wore wumeu s sto^iviugo nuu ^
\ holes cut in-them for masks, have r
drawn for the police a diagram of ?
the place where they hid $7,000. ?
Xo arrests have been made yet in ?
e the Winnsboro robbery. The building ?
e was practically wrecked by the dyna- p
miting of the steel vaults. It is cer- q
L tain that the robbers got more than ?
e $100, and it is feared that several q
L thousand was taken from the demol- j.
ished vault. p
At Logansport, W. G. Cole, H. j
Johnson, H. E. Chambers and Sam p
Hennegan have been placed under ?
Is arrest at points in Louisiana and L
Texas and have confessed to the rob- ?
bery of the bank of Logansport, at ?
j- Logansport, La., yesterday. ^
e Cole was arrested near Joaquin, ^
" Texas, Johnson in Shreveport and ^
,s Chambers and Hennegan near" Tenah, 0
d Texas. Cole in his confession to the q
t- arresting officers gave a description of p
is the place where the $7,000 stolen was p
cached in the woods near Logans- g
d port. . g

K this State. Two masked men sudden- ^
a ly confronted Assistant Cashier Cal- ^
a lroun and, when Cashier Price enter's
ed, both bank officers were forced
i, into the steel vault and the lock
). turned.
d The robbers got $7,000 in cur- a
rency, overlooked $1,000, and walk- ?
1, ed quietly away. An hour later bank ^
II patrons noticed the bank deserted p
e and called the police. After half an c
s, hour's work the safe was forced open
n and the imprisoned bank officials, 1(
d nearly dead, were taken out. Posses
>f were quickly organized. ^
Hennegan and Chambers are mere I
;t boys. They confessed, police say, to
!- holding the horse and aiding in mak- fl
ir ing away with tho money. Cole, the p
third bandit, alleges that Johnson en- Ci
gineered the holdup in 1912.
n The masks used by the bandits ^
d were merelv women's stockings with p
t]
)f holes cut for eyes. No other disguise
n was used it developed Saturday. *
Awakening the whole town by heavy
r. blasts in an attack on the steel li
r_ vaults in the Winnsboro State bank 11
e about midnight, bandits made their 0
o
get-away with a considerable amount
of money.
It is certain that they got more *
than $100 in silver, but until a com- n
ir plete checking is made of the bank's s
is money the total will not be known. a
o It is feared that about $3,000 in cur- c
)t rency was taken from the twisted and c
1_ shattered vault. c
)f Sheriff Gilbert, with a heavily arm- s
[S ed posse, is in pursuit of the bandits
LS headed towards Shreveport. It is his e
[S theory that the Winnsboro bandits 11
if are not members of the gang that s
held up the Logansport bank Friday. c
5 Logansport is not very far away from h
5t Winnsboro, however.

Short on. Meat Animals.
Washington. February 1.?Shortge
of meat animals in the United
tates was strikingly demonstrated
y comparative figures to-day made
ublic by the department of agriulture.
The report showed that
here are nine less beef cattle, seven
jss sheep and three less hogs now
Dr each 100 persons in the country
lan there were in 1910.
While the population of the counry
is estimated to have increased
rom 91,972,000 to 9S,646,000 in the
ast'three years, the number of beef
attle has decreased 12.9 per cent
A /\f oh Ann " O nAT? onn t num.
uu ui on t-t-u * u pvi V/t-ia. iuv uuiuer
of swine increasel slightly, 1.3
er cent, but it did not keep up with
lie proportional growth of populaion.
In spite of the reduced number it
> estimated that the value of cattle
i the country, increased from $1,34,600.000
in 1910 to $1,930,087,00
on January 1, 1914.
"This increase in value, however,"
he department pointed out, "does
ot necessarily mean that farmers or
tock raisers are making more, if
ny profit. On the contrary, the
ost of production has probably inreased
more rapidly than the inrease
in the selling price of live
tock. 1
"The very fact that there is a presnt
shortage of nearly 19,000,000
teat animals in the United States
ince the census of 1910, indicates
learly that the business is not protable
to producers."
