World Represented. NEfW YORK, May 4 —Miss Annie tinker’s squad of suffragettf cavalry women, booted, spurred, breeched and stayless, were easily the feature of the greatest suffrage parade of the century which was held here this afternoon, when 20,000 equal righters, ten abreast, and al! marching under 39-cent suf frage hats, marched from Washington square, at Eleventh street, to Fifty seventh street and Carnegie hall. The parade was carried through without a hitch, and was viewed by over two mil lion enthusiastic masculine New. York ers, all of whom voiced their vocifer ous approval of the “cause” on horse back. All Kinds and All Colors. There -were suffragettes of every de scription and color, from equal right ers of the Carrie Nation type and those who ran long on lingerie and ' French heels. Likewise were there suffragettes of every shade, from ala baster whiteness to deepest black, in cluding the varidus gradations of tan. brown, yellow, mottled and African smoke. The mottled suffrage sisters were freckled, of course, but the tan, brown and pure African belong to a squad of negresses, organized and led by Mrs Albert Plimpton; while the yellow shades adorned marchers from the far off land of China. These parti-colored advocates of equal suffrage, however, paled to insig nificence beside the doughty Miss Tin ker and her cavalcade of equestriennes, ab of whom were mounted upon beau tifully caparisoned horses thoughtfully provided with binders. This cavalry squad was comprised of the flower of New York suffrage, and in its ranks were Miss Inez Mulholland. Miss Mabel Lee. the Chinese suffragist; Mrs. Raid ing Farnum. the sculptress: Mrs. Wil liam Eracher. and Mrs. Richard S Chisholm. Theirs was the only head dress not of the-39-cent denomination. It was composed of three-cornered black straw, with a tri-colored cockade in purple, green and white, and cost almost 59 cents. The women were to gather at Wash ington square at 3 o'clock—the parade was to start on ‘its long trip up Fifth avenue to Fifty-seventh street and across town to Carnegie hall at 4 —and immediately began to under the direction of Mrs. Harriott Stanton B'latch. Parade Halted While Women Primp. The first step in the organization was the purchase of suffrage headgear. Almost every one willingly parted with the necessary 28 cents, and all seemed satisfied till Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont ap peared upon the scene with her 28- cent hat trimmed with a suffrage cock ade. Os course, no one was going to , let Mrs. Belmont, even if she is the mistress of milions, get ahead of her in a matter so vital as headgear, so these who had been placed in line broke yanks, dug up another 11 cents for the cockade and had to be organized all over'again. This made the procession ► nearly a h*lf hour late in starting. At last everything was in readiness, however, and Mrs. Blatch. standing erect in her open barouche (Mrs. Blatch. though a general, feels more at home behind a horse than on top of one) gave the order to. charge. In stantly the long column swung into - animation, the band struck up “Hail, the Conquering Hero Comes," and the greatest equal rights parade in decades started on its long march between solid rows of admiring New Yorkers. L The smallest suffragettes are Marie Soltz, Madeline Ball, Marie Moore. Gertrude Melch, Helen Singleton and Helen Palconer. These little girls, ranging in age from 7 to 10. are mem bers of “The Rose Maid" company. Mrs. Loo Lin. “the boss of China town,” represented China. Not only did she volunteer to appear, but she consented to ride a horse “astride." Mr- Winston-Churchill, wife of the novelist, L arrived here at the head of a delega |F tlon of New Hampshire suffragettes. Continued on Page Two. The Atlanta Georgian WOMEN ASK PLAGES ON: CITY VICE BOARD Demand Representation That Will Give Their Sex Square Deal in Probe. DECLARE THAT THEIR AID IS NEEDED IN THE WORK Temperance Union Heads Send in Petitions to City Council. Action on Monday. Atlanta women today demanded rep resentation on the newly appointed vice commission. The request has come to city council in the shape of a petition from the Georgia Woman s t’hristian Temper ance union. „ The petition, which is signed by the general officers of the Frances Willard chapter of Atlanta, asks that fit e women be placed on the commission in addition to those men already appointed. The petition will be taken up by council on Monday. It goes at great length into showing reasons for the re quest. and among them is the state ment that it is necessary tn order that a square deal may he given to the women who Wil! be arre.Sted. persecuted and prosecuted and puhished by laws which they had notpart in making. Declare Aid of Women Is Needed. The general offldSra thA peti- tion are Mrs. Maty L. McLendon, pres- ' iden.t of Frances Willard chapter; Mrs." D. O. Dougherty, vice president; Mrs. K. L. Reeves, corresponding secretary; : Miss I. A. Adkins, recording secretary. ' and Mrs. G. A. Cochran, treasurer The purpose of the commission as outlined by Joseph A. McCord, chair- . man, is rather to strive for legislation that will prevent the younger citizens ■ of Atlanta from falling into vice than to try to legislate religion and purity ; into those already steeped in vice. Such objects could not possibly be I fully attained without the aid of worn- < en. say the petitioners. There are de grees and forms of vice the significance j of which only women can fully appre- ■ ciate. Therefore, if the best effects are ' to be obtained, the research of the commission must be balanced. The members of city council were taken completely o/f their feet by the petition. None of them would offer any comment as to what would, be done.

LOUISVILLE, KY , May 4.—Ed Calla han. sheriff of Breathitt county and one of the leaders of the famous Hargis fac tion, was shot, today as he stood in front of his door at Crockettsvilie, Ky Two years ago Callahan was shot by an assassin, but recovered. Callahan was riddled with bullets as he stood at the door of his store by assassins, who were hidden on the hill side in the same place from where they shot him two years ago The killing of Callahan is another trag edy tn the Hargis-Cockrell feud which for more than ten years had stained Breathitt county with blood. He is one of the last leaders. All others have met violent deaths, most of them under the assassin’s gun. Callahan knew that he was “a market man;" that sooner or later his enemies would get him To avoid death he had made the most elab orate precautions. Around his store and his residence he had built high walls that he might not be under the range from the surrounding hills. Connecting his store and his home was a covered passage-way that he might go from his store to his residence without exposing himself to bullets. The Hargis-Cockrell feud, which has just claimed its latest victim, broke out in 1901. i HOME Z L". EDITION PRir'lT- On Trains. FIVE CENTS. U hIPD . ln Atlanta. TWO CENTS.

Rut I consider that I represent a cause and that this cause Is constitutional government for the wise progress of the people and for Jhe protection of principles of the constitution. The !n --•novator is abroad. We are told that there are new things which ought to be introduced. For Instance, the recall of judges.
