Gompers, Mitchell and Morri
son Say They’re Not Guilty
of Contempt.
Washington, July 17.—Samuel Oom
ptra president: John Mitchell, vice
president, and Frank Morrison, faecre-
tary nt the American Federation of La
bor, today thru their attorneys, Ralston,
Slddnns & Richardson, filed their an
swer to Justice Wright in the District
supreme court In the labor contempt
case.
The reply did not apologise to the
court for alleged contempt In the Bucks
Store and Range contempt case, as re
quired by Justice Wright and the rec
ommendation of a committee of lawyers
sppolnted by the court to determine
whether or not an apology should be
demanded.
The report of the committee said:.
"That the defendants be prepared to
make such due acknowledgment, a pol
ony and assurance of future submission
to the coart as may sufTtclenUy answer
the necessary purpose of vindicating
In authority and that of the law.”
Denial of the right of the court to
require an Rpology and declaration that
th* defendants have never been guilty
of contempt of court are Included In
the reply.
Altho the reply was filed today, there
will be no hearing of tho case until
the fall term of the court.
After the United States suprsms
court had held that the jail sentences
were not correctly Ithposed, Justice
"'right appointed the committee to In-
resilgate the proceedings and If evi
dence warranted to start a new case.
This cogimlttee Included J. J. Darling
ton. of this city; James M. Beck, of
New York, and Daniel Davenport, of
Bridgeport, Conn.

CORNER STONE IS LAID
F°R CLAYTON SCHOOL
Clayton, Go., July 17,—Under the
auspices and by the Grand Lodge of
Masons of Oeorwla, the corner stone of
the Clayton public school building was
laid here Saturday. Rabun Gap lodge
No. 266, F. A A. M„ with R. E. A. Ham
by, acting grand master, laid the corner
stone. Addresses were made by Judge
E. 3. Reagan, of McDonough, Ga.; Hon.
R. N. Hardeman, representative In the
Georgia legislature from Jefferson coun
ty, and Judge R. B. Russell, of the cqurt
of appeals.
Report of Committee by Jlo
Means Defeats It—Prom
inent Men Favor It.
That those members of the present leg
islature who looked with disfavor on
the measure to allow women the right
to practice law In the state of Georgia
acted rather thoughtlessly, and that on
more serious consideration they will
shift their views. Is the belief of prom
inent men and women, both business
and professional, In Atlanta. When the
proposed measure came up before the
judiciary committee a few days since.
It woe defeated by a close vote—6 to 6.
Mrs. Minnie A. Hale, a graduate of
the Atlanta Law school of the past
year, has the honor .of arousing the
present situation, and she has enlisted
a large number of followers in her be
lief.
Mrs. Hale speaks very plainly of her
views on the matter.
"Why,” she asks, “does the state of
Georgia hold out opportunities alike
to men and women for higher educa
tion, and then, when both have availed
themselves of these opportunities, does
the state refuse to the latter the right
to take advantage of her learning and
equipment? I am sure the very men
who have opposed the new measure
would gladly do anything In their
power for any woman In temporary dis
tress over some trivial matter, and yet
when It comes to a matter of dally
bread they have refused her the one
right which she asks. I feel sure that
this action has been taken rather
thoughtlessly and unaware of the sit
uation which obtains with many women
In this day.
"The natural place for woman Is In
the home. So far bo good, but what of
a large number of women who have no
home. In the sense In which the word
|9 here used? There are large num
bers of women who And themselves
forced to earn their own livelihood.
Does the state and do these men
mean to say to such women that they
shall not be allowed to enter the prac
tice of law, just the same as that of
medicine or dentistry, bookkeeping or
whatever other profession or trade for
which she has prepared herself? I re
iterate that I do not think these men
acted advisedly, and with due delibera
tion. When they have considered the
matter thoroughly I feel sure that all
opposition will vanish.”
Prominent People’s Opinions.
Opinions on the matter have been se
cured from some of the most prominent
lawyers In Atlanta, as well as from
club women, and business men. In each
case expressions favorable to the prop
osition were given. It was pointed out
t'lot In many eases women are fitted
by Inheritance t(r tho study and prac
tice of law. Further. It was said that
a woman may practice law with
much decorum as she may attend to
hundreds of other duties which she Is
daily discharging with credit to her
self. ,
Among prominent local attorneys who
favor extending the prlvllegq of practic
ing law In the state were Reuben R. Ar
nold, Judge Spencer Atkinson, Hon. J.
Pope Brown. Charles T. Hopkins, John
D. Little, Robert Alston and Burton
Smith. Mrs. Hugh Wlllet, of the Fede
ration of Women’s Clubs of Georgia;
Mrsf John K. Ottley, Miss Elisabeth
Henning Hanna, Mrs. Robert J. Lowry,
Mrs. Warren Boyd and others all ex
pressed themselves as heartily favoring
the proposition.
Women are today practicing law In
the following states: Alabama, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Florida, Indi
ana, Louisiana, Arkansas, Massachu
setts, New York, Connecticut, Penneyl-
vanls, Ohio, New Hampshire, Colorado.
California, District of Columbia, Wyo
ming, Utah, Illinois, Nevada, Michigan.
Washington, Montana and Mississippi.
Great Britain, Continental Europe, Aus
tralia and New Zealand also permit
women to practice law,
Young
Mothers
No young woman, In the joy ol
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys-
icai ordeal she fs to undergo. The
health of both she and hqr coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
tem for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No-better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
medicine that has proven its value in
thousands of
cases. Mother’s 'BJT---d-l-
Friend is sold at PlO 1116^0
drug stores. Tvsicvv*<3

Deadly routine woe the program In
the Georgia senate Monday morning.
Hardly more than a handful of the sen
ators, barely enough to mako a quo
rum, took up the burden of legislating
when President Slaton rapped to order
at 11 o’clock.
Sonator Sheppard, of the senate com
mittee to notify Governor Smith of his
election to the United States senator-
ship, reported that the senate and house
committee had formally notlfled the
governor.
Governor Hoke Smith broke In upon
the senate’s lethargy with a sealed mes
sage. assumed to ho the appointment of
D. W. Krauss Judge of the city court
of Brunswick, returned to the senate
for confirmation.. The senate turned
down Krauss’ appointment last Thurs
day because his term of office did not
begin until July 1, 1912.
This, according to Governor Smith,
was an error of the typewriter and his
term should begin January 1, 1912.
The senate turned down Krauss' ap
pointment upon legal grounds, and
Judging from tbslr past actions, will
ratify the appointment at the first ex
ecutive session.
Two local house bills passed the sen.
ate without dissenting voice. Three
new bills were Introduced. Tho synate
adjourned at 12 o’clock.

Many of the 120 passengers sboarc

lowed, some of the women fainted. It
required the utmost persuasion on the
part of the officers and. crew to keep
them on tho decks, a few hysterical
ones demanding that lifeboats be
launched. It was Impossible to get the
wireless In communication with any
one ashore for some time. Then three
tugs were dispatched to the distressed
