4 J, i»r« axuut£V HauMiMMr, 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 iratify agalnet an ea-gaa employee, alio had been caught robbing a «|.>t gna meter on Crew atreet a few nlghte 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 alth gll the vile edora, rights end xminde, "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.
