A WOMAN'S FIRM VISI7
70 JUDGE BROYLES’ COURT;
NEED OF MORE MATRONS
By MARY L. M’LENDON.
Very often I have been admonished
-n till* wts*. when Inveighing against
i'.m liquor traffic: “If you will lilt whis
ky alone It will let you alone."
I have thought thla advice might
apply to the law (It doea not to whla-
i.-y; alnre women have been deprived of
their right* along that line, until I
tvae eerved with a notice by two police,
men to appear at recordar'e court on
Wcdneeday morning at f:!0 o'clock to

alio had been caught robbing a «|.>t

lie fore, The two policemen and the
leer of a 158 fine for failure to appear
on time haetened my e(forte to reach
the police barracka, although the rain
wa* pouring and i knew Decatur atreet.
my apeclal abomination, waa reeking

"Mlaery lovea company," and an I
i callaed, when two fine women came In
Later on
learned that they, toe, had been ordered
leamca tn«i ***»# «■« wwrcu
to teetlfy agalnat the elnt meter thief.
Their metera had been robbed aleo. We
lied all that (rouble for nothing, aa the
thief had been aent to the Tower on
another charge and the cnee dlemleecd
(rum the record*!"* court.
After wltneeelng the remarkable way
In which Judge Broytea dlapoaed of the
, area brought .before him, I nuked the
.liter* permleelon to vlelt Ml** San-
ileraon, whom I had never met. an.1
nanured him that the W. C. T. IT. and
I he Woman Ruftragtate had an abiding
Intereat In any woman who occupied
the pniltion of police tnatren; that
: nose (wo ancle!lea bad Inaugurated the
movement In IM4, had petitioned coun-
i II to create the otnee and put In a good
... ..man to rare for the women and chil
dren brought to the elation for any of-
tenae whatever: that we coneldered It
absolutely neeeeeary to have a goo-1
woman to remain there all tha time. I,
soon found that the chief did not agree
with me, but 1 waa not eurprlaed at
that. He la only a man and one brought
punlebed ae are tbe vilest of men who
have voted (consented) to be governed
by said lawe and are nevertbeleee tbe
moat persistent law-breakera living.
The police matron’s department It apot.
leaaly clean and aweet and ahowa that
a woman of taata and culture has con-
trol. There la no bath room, which
should be remedied at once, and thero
are other things that might ba changed
to aid Miss Sanderson In tha discharge
of her arduous duties.
Only two young women were In the
apartment, and one. a girl of It, had
bar flna paid and waa permitted to de
part, leaving her companion disconso
late. u waa very sad. bu '
waa vary sad, but how much
better then the conditions existing be.
fore we bod our first police matron.
of tha t
It la drtadful to think of the many ne.
gro women who are at tha mercy of
the negro men end tbe policemen who
have Jurisdiction over thorn. Miss San
derson only looks after the white worn.
and a shame -for man to control an
en, and Is as absurd os It would bo
considered for women to control men.
Decency and good order demand u
change, and 1 am mistaken In tbe worn.
that black women, who have fallen Into
the dutches of the law. are given the
moral support of a whlta woman, who
tee that they are cared for as they
up under the old regime when "wom
an’s rights" were not given any con
sideration,
I ait ua hope that the vision of all men
will be cleared on this great queetlon.
Then there will be police matron* In all
places of detention wher women,
w hether while or colored, are confined
for violating laws they have had no
hand In making, Women who ate
will
should be.
In lift there were *08 whit* females
and 2,054 colored females arrested. The
chairman of the police committee as
sured me, however, that "only a faw
dirty drunken negro women are ever
arrested, and when they get sober we
(urn them loose and lat them go home."
Like Chief Jennings, he believed, and
said: "We don’t need a police matron.”
In 1805 there were 520 white and 1.811
colored females arrested. In ten yean,
you see. the number of women arrested
In one year Was Increased to 84*. In
the face of that fact we are told that
we do not need police matrons. Woman
Know that police matrons with the
same power, the same privileges and
the same pay should be In the Tower,
In the stockade and wherever women
and children arc detained.
There should be two at the police
headquarters so that ona could always
be on duty, and not make the hours so
long for one. and they ehould be paid
as well as the men (fcllcemen. Let
the women of Atlanta etand by their
matron and not listen to the evil things
sold about her. Some men want the
job, and. as In other line* of work,
they think the easy way la to malign
her character and she will leave In die-
gust and men will reap the reward.
MAYBE REALL \ PEARSON;
BUT HAD ANOTHER NAME
I.iltlc doubt now exleta In the minds
of detectives of the Atlanta office that
< a plain J. Pearson, tbe alleged gen
tleman pan-handler exposed by The
Georgian, Is traveling under Ms real
name,
Since the captain has been In the
Tower the detectlvea have learned that
he sent a letter to England addressed
to a man named Pearson thought to
he his brother and probably reciting
the predicament he was In.
That he has traveled,'(hough, under
another name the detectives have al
ready reaebn to believe. After Pear
son's arrest an account of the charges
made against Mm here, together with
hie picture, were sent to New York by
the Associated Charities, and word has
been received from' the charftv organi
sation society of that city saying that
Pearson Is well known and Is a pro
fessional swindler. The Information la
also to the effect that he has served
at least one term In the pen In New
York and that he was arrested a year
ago tn New Orleans under the name of
Sutcliffe.
