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.

They very naturally Jump to the conclusion that somebody Is mak ing a nice profit; too nice a profit; such a nice profit In fact that It ceases to be nice and borders on being a hold up game. The people believe they should receive those profits which they are enabling the gas. company to make. The gas company and the electric lighting monopoly are existing by grace of the people—In reality. The case has been reversed—by _ the Georgia Rail 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 a the I for the Fifth regiment.

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 vinced In your own mind that the step l« good for the city. You can't fall to 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- lng. "Present conditions In Atlanta Ward Shoe Company 101 Peachtree Street serve to accentuate the wisdom of the 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. Even Two Dozen New Members, Besides these eleven members who munlty. But the men were handicapped 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* obeyed orders cheerfully and willing ly." Colonel Anderson believes that the armory should be located within the central part of the city though lie makes no suggestions as to the best FOR SALE!
