SA YS TRIAL WAS NOT FAIR
BECA USE NO REPUBLICAN
WAS ALLOWED ON JURY
Attacking the local option law an un- . affiliated with the Republican party
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 A.
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 oit the charge of selling liquor. He
was convicted and the case went to the
Georgia supreme court, which affirmed
the fine of $1,000 or twelve months In
the chnlngang of. the lower court.
Then It was that Attorney Dukes on
September 58 went before Judge Par
dee with the petition for habeus corpus,
which was denied. However, as the
petitioner by counsel demands nn ap
peal from the order of denial to the
supreme court of the United Stntes,
Judge Pardee granted the same on the
petitioner giving a bond for $r»oo 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
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 convlc
tlon 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 Is cited to answer within
thirty days. In commenting on the
case the attorney generul said that lie
thought there was nothing In it other
than to delay the execution of sen
tence.
Mrs. Mollie Anderson.
Mrs. Mollie Anderson, wife of J. B.
Anderson, died Thursday night at the
residence, 12 Expositions street. The
funeral will be held at North Atlanta
Baptist church Saturday morning at
11 o'clock and the Interment will take
place at Hollywood. Mrs. Anderson
was 37 years old and Is survived by her
husband and six children.

An armory for the atate 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
panles of militia were kept on duty day
after day and forced to sleep In such
quarters as they might And,
It 1; suggested that a new building,

Blanks Will Bs Printed,
Already mote than 10 members have
subscribed to work In the cause of mu

been made to The Georgian to supply
blanks for membership. The Georgian
has declded'to have eome of the ap
plication blanks printed, eo that the en
thusiastic municipal ownership men
who are patriotic enough to go on the
streets spreading the movement will
be able to tnke applications and turn
them in-to this office.
We urge you to think over the plan.
Do not become enrolled as a member

What ths Psopls Say.
“I am fnmlllar with the operation of
gas plants,” wrote W. A. Lyons, on
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
forwnrd with a membership In the Mu
nicipal Ownership League.
I have been a consistent advocate
of municipal ownership for many
years," wrote M. M. Welch, a former
alderman and former councilman,
whose office Is at 723 Austell build
ing "Present conditions In Atlanta

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.
Affscts Real Estats.
James L. Logan, a real estate dealer
of 16 South Broad street, spoke truly
when he made application for member,
ship and said: "It costs only 40 cents
to moke gas."
"It Is a good thing, wrote W. H
Allen, a real estate dealer of It 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
tentative."
Jacob Buchannen, a merchant of 10
West Mlchell street, says "I believe the
city and the citizens will be greatly
benefited," while W. Riley, of 447
Kdgpwoml avenue. Insists that the
street railways should be municipally
ned, or at least controlled.
■I am with you first and last," wrote
E. V. < ulbreafh, a salesman for Kelly
Brothers, wholesale grocers, and Mr.
ulhreath displays the spirit necessary
t success.
W. H. Roan, a grocer of 434 Edge-
ood avenue, and W. B. Parr, of 311
Highland avenue, both want the street
railway* to be municipally owned.
Even Two Dozen New Members.

for the Fifth regiment. This has the
Indorsement of Mayor Woodward and
other prominent and public-spirited
men of Atlanta. Mayor Woodward Is
emphatic In his stq.cment that on arm
ory l.i needed. He Incorporated It as
a plank In Ills platform two year* ago,
but up to this time no active move
ment for an armory has besn begun.
Colonel Clifford L. Anderson, command
ing the Fifth regiment, Is one of the
foremost Indorsers of tbe armory move
ment. Harry L. Schleslnger, always
foremost In public movements. Is en
thusiastic over pushing the movement
now while the appreciation of the state
troops Is at Its highest. Other citizens
have expressed their Interest In the
movement.
Mayor Woodward.
'There should be no delay In provid
ing a home for the soldiers of Georgia.”
said'Mayor Woodward. "They are will
ing to go to a large personal expense,
to give up their lime and risk their
live* for the city. We have Just seen
the value of the military to the com
munity. But the men were handicapped
because they • had no central hall .at
whlrh to assemble.
"When we.bulld on armory 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 Hnd give It definite shape and
the In-eoinlng administration ran take
It up and carry It to success.”
Colonsl Clifford Anderson.
Colonel Clifford L. Anderson ha* of
ten appealed for un armory for his reg-
Iment and the recent call for the troops
has made him even more Insistent In
his demands for a home for his men.
He said:
“It would have been of great service
If the members of alt the companies
could have been mustered at a central
armory Saturday night. They were
forced to go to their own armories,
such ns they are, and await Instruc
tions. If nil the officer* anil men hnd
been under one roof much time would
have been gained and eusy communi
cation established.
The recent outbreak has demon
strated ,the need of a central armory.
The men were drawn to regimental
headqunrters and slept on the street—
on the hnrd Belgian block pavement.
No mnn of them all raised un objection,
there was no word of complaint. They
obeyed orders cheerfully and willing
ly.”
Colonel Anderson believes that the
armory should be located within the
entral part of the city though he
makes no suggestions as to the best
