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.

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.

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.

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.
