SA YS TRIAL WAS NOT FAIR
BECA USE NO REPUBLICAN
WAS ALLOWED ON JURY
Attacking the local option law as un
constitutional, taking a swipe at the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
and alleging that his client did not
have a fair trial because no Republi
cans were on the Jury, Attorney D. M.
Dukes, of Flovllla, Butts county, has
filed a petition before Judge Don
Pardee, of the United States circuit
court, for a writ of habeas corpus In
the case of Tom Fears.
Attorney General Hart was served
with notice of appeal to the United
States supreme court Friday morning.
Tom Fears was Indicted In Butts coun
ty on the charge of selling liquor. He
was convicted and the case went to the
Georgia Supreme court, which affirmed
the flne of |l,000 or twelve months in
the cHalngang of the lower court.
Then it .was that Attorney Dukes on
September 18 went before Judge Par-
den with the petition for habeas corpus,
which was denied. However, as the
petitioner by counsel demands an ap
peal from the order of denial to the
supreme court of the United States,
Judge Pardee-granted the same on the
petitioner giving a bond for 2600 to
pay all costs and damages against him
in the appeal. It Is understood that
Fears has furnished the bond, and the
case will go up.
In the petition It is set up that Fears
was illegally convicted and denied
equal protection of the law. No Re
publicans were on the Jury that tried
him. Fears Is a Republican. It Is
stated that all Republicans or persons
affiliated with the Republican party
are excluded from the grand and petit
Juries of Butts county.
The local option law is declared .un
constitutional, therefore null and void,
on the grounds that It conflicts with
Interstate commerce laws by prohibit
ing any state from levying a tax on
Imports or exports of liquors. The
Georgia law, It Is alleged, places a tax
on whisky from other states or else
prohibits It altogether.
It Is further stated that the convic
tion of Fears was contrary to the four
teenth amendment, Inasmuch as Re
publicans are excluded from the Jury
box. Fears, It Is set forth. Is Illegally
restrained of his liberty, and his trial
and sentence are nullified for the rea
son that Georgia has never yet rati
fied the fifteenth amendment, as pro
vided by act of congress.
Judge Hart fs cited to answer within
thirty days. In commenting on the
case the attorney general said that he
thought there was nothing in It other
than to delay the execution of sen
tence.

NEW ARMORY FOR FIFTH
REGIMENT ENDORSED BY
THE MA YOR AND CITIZENS
An armory for the state troops large
enough to accommodate a whole regi
ment, Is being earnestly advocated by
many of the foremost men of Atlanta.
The need of such an armory has long
been felt, but never so much as during
the past week, when a number of com
panies of militia were kept on duty day
after day and forced to sleep In such
quarters as they might And.
It Is suggested that a new building,
of which Atlanta may be proud, be
efected to comprise a city hell, a great
auditorium and a well-equipped armory

Blanks Will Be Printed.
Already more than JO members have
subscribed to work In the pause of mu
nlclpal ownership. Many requests have
been made to The Georgian to supply
blanks for membership. The Georgian
Has decided to have some of the np
plication blanks printed, so that the en
thuslastlc municipal ownership men
who nre patriotic enough to go on the
streets spreading the movement will
be able to take applications and turn
them In to this office.
We urge you to think over the plan.
Do not become enrolled as a member
of the Municipal Ownership League
unless you believe in the principle.
What the League wants Is enthusiastic
workers, men patriotic enough to give
sufficient of their time to attend the
monster mass meeting that will be held
Just as soon as a sufficient number
have signified their belief In the prin
ciples of municipal ownership. Read
up on the proposition, and become con

realise that better service, a lower tax
rate, a less arbitrary administration
will be accorded under the municipal
ownership plan.
What ths People 8ay,
"I am familiar with the operation of
gas plants,” wrote W. A. Lyons, an
accountant, who resides at 264 Ashby
street, when he sent In his application
for membership. He knows that the
present arrangement Is unfair and un
Just, and, therefore, Mr. Lyons comes
forward with a membership In the Mu
nlclpal Ownership League.
"I have been a consistent advocate
ef municipal ownership for many
years," wrote M. M. Welch, a former
alderman and former councilman,
whose office Is at 722 Austell build-

proposition," he continues, and Mr.
Welch wrote from an Intimate knowl
edge of affairs In this city.
-It will give us Cheaper gas and
electricity," wrote George H. Holliday,
who Is In the dental supply business
at 10 Grant building.
Affects Reel Estate,
James L. Logan, a real estate dealer
of 16 South Broad street, spoke truly
when he made application for member
ship and sahl; "It costs only 40 cents
to make gas."
"It ts a good thing,” wrote V. H
Allen, a real estate dealer of 1# South
Broad street, while Burgess Smith, a
former member of council, who Is a
merchant at 12-14-14 Trinity avenue,
wrote, "There seems to be no other al
ternative.” . . .
Jacob Buchannan, a merchant of 10
West Mlchell street, says44 believe the
city and the citizens will be greatly
benefited," while W. C. Riley, of 447
Edge wood avenue, Insists that the
street railways should be municipally
owned, or at least controlled.
"I am with you first and last,” wrote
E. Y t'ulbreath, a salesman for Kelly
Brothers, wholesale grocers, and Mr.
t’ulbreath displays the spirit necessary
to success.
W. H. Roan, a grocer of 434 Edge-
wood nvenue. and W. B. Parr, of 311
Highland avenue, both want the street
railways to be municipally owned.

because they had no central hall at
which to assemble.
"When we build an nrmory we should
erect a city hall at the same time. We
can erect a building that can Include
both, and also an auditorium big
enough to accommodate the big con
ventions which meet here, and which
now go to Ponce DeLeon or one of the
old exposition buildings. The present
city administration can start the ball
rolling and give It definite shape and
the In-comlng administration can take
It up and carry It to success."
ColonsI Clifford Anderlon.
Colonel Clifford I- Anderson has of
ten appealed for an armory for his reg
iment and the recent call for the troops
has made him even more Insistent In
Ills demands for a home for his men.
He said:
"It would have been of great service
If the members of all the companies
could have been mustered at a central
armory Saturday night. They were
forced to go to their own armories,
such as-they are, and await Instruc
tions. If all the officers and men had
been under one roof much time would
have been gnlned and easy communi
cation established.
The recent outbreak has demon
strated the need of a central armory.
The men were drawn to regimental
headquarters and slept on the street—
on the hard Belgian block pavement.
No man of them all raised an objection,
there was no word of complaint. The*

Colonel Anderson believes that the
armory should be located within the
