of it and quit.
The doors were thrown open three
minutes after 10 o'clock. The waiting
throng crowded forward and the first
trouble of the sergeant-at-arms began.
Colonel Stone, his coat and hat laid
aside and his sleeves rolled up, stood at
the very front of the speaker’s plat
form and shouted his orders to his as
sistants to keep the aisles clear.
The assistants, none too familiar
with the arrangements of the seats,
were slow in finding the chairs the
tickets called for, and the crowd in the
main aisle crowded forward. The po
lice had the first work then. Part of
the first row guards were sent to push
back the struggling intruders. For a
time it looked as though the steam
roller would be the only engine capable
of accomplishing the task, but finally
the officers prevailed and the people
were forced "back of those chairs,” just
as Colonel Stone directed.
Galleries Filled
Slowly at First.
By fifteen minutes after 10 o'clock
fully 1,000 persons had been admitted.
William Hayward, secretary of the
national committee, was the third com
mittee officer who reached the plat
form. He glanced about the building
and took a chair well back on the plat
form. Chairman Rosewater took his
seat at the massive oak table at the
front of the stage. An assistant ser
geant-at-arms came in and placed a
massive new gavel, a silver pitcher and
a silver cup on the table. The officers
of.the committee posed for another
picture. Stone still in his shirt sleeves,
holding the gavel.
William Barnes, of New York, came
In with a part of the delegation from
his state. He stood talking earnestly
:o them for a few moments.
By 10:45 the main floor had beer,
half filled.
The delegates disregarded instruc
tions to keep ouf of the aisles, and
stood in groups talking.
The galleries filled more slowly. At
11 o’clock not a third of the gallery
seats were filled. Among the earlier
arrivals in these seats was Joseph B.
Kealing. of Indianapolis, who was one
of the chief assistants of the Taft men
in their steam roller work. He sat
down and smiled expansively as he
saw the people come In.
A. M. Stevenson, of Colorado, and
Thomas H. Devine, who will probably
head the committee on resolutions,
stood under the Colorado standard con
versing earnestly.
Kermit Roosevelt
Giver Floor Freedom.
Frederick Upham, chairman of the
local committee on arrangements, en
tered about 11 o’clock. He went to a
private box, where he entertained May
or and Mrs. Carter Harrison. Others
in the party were J. Sloat Fassett,
Winfield T. Durbin, former governor of
Indiana, and Mrs. Durbin: Mrs. Wil
liam Hayward, wife of the secretary

Kermit Roosevelt, son of the colo
nel. gained admission to the conven
tion and was allowed the freedom of
the floor. He wandered around among
the various delegations, deeply' inter
ested in the arrangements for the fight
in which his father was so deeply con
cerned.
Fairbanks Gets
First Ovation.
Former Vice President Fairbanks was
given the first ovation as he entered
the hall.
It was 11:25 o’clock before the first
feeble cheer for any candidate was
given. The demonstration was so fee
ble that those outside the section of the
gallery where the cheering started
could not tell what candidate was
cheered.
By 11:30 o’clock the confusion had
grown into the hum of a great gather
ing. The spectators flowed into the
gallery in streams, while most of the
delegates had already' reached the floor.
When Mr. Fairbanks appeared there
was a scattering of handclapping and
cheers as he made his way from the
main entrance to his place in the In
diana delegation and took his seat,
smiling his acknowledgment of the
greeting.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, daughter
of Colonel Roosevelt, with her husband,
was one of those who arrived early.
She was dressed in her favorite blue.
She smiled and bowed acknowledgment
to a host of acquaintances.
California Banner For
T. R. Cheered.
Shortly before' time to call the con
vention to order the California delega
tion entered. They unfurled two gold
en silk banners, bearing the motto:
"California for Roosevelt by 77,000."
The banners were greeted with a rous
ing cheer.
W. A. Johnston carried one of the
California banners. He stood on a
chair and waved it violently. Mean
while the band played in a muffled
undertone “Everybody's Doin’ It.”
The two Taft men "sveam rolled"
into the delegation did not enter the
hall with their fellows.
Seats were left vacant for them.
They had not arrived within fifteen
minutes of noon. .
When the California display had
been reduced until only a golden griz
zly' bear perched on the top of a golden
pole grinned down at the delegates, the
Massachusetts delegates essayed a lit
tle rooting. The Taft men smiled.
Just then the band struck up "Darl
ing, I Am Growing Old." Seated just
back of ex-Vice President Fairbanks
were former Senator James A. Hemeri
way and Captain William E. English,
of Indiana. They assisted. Fairbanks in
an informal reception.
Ten minutes before time for the con
vention to open the hall was crowded.
Reporter Bryan
In Press Stand.
William J. Bryan-excited curious in
terest when he entered. He entered
the press stand and sharpened a pen
cil for his newspaper task. Mrs. Bryan
sat by his side.
William Barnes, of New York, wants
two conventions, declared R. R. Mc-
Cormick, of the Illinois delegation, as
the Illinois men gathered.
“I saw him at 3 o’clock this morning
and asked him if New York would
agree to stand by' the nominee who
musters 540 delegates. This he refused
to do and declared he would not agree
to anything. He would rather have two
conventions.”
Lawrence Y. Sherman, who appeared
in his seat early, declared: "Illinois
stands 50 to 8 against Ellhu Root. We
are 56 for Roosevelt and we are going
so to stand."
Others in the convention were not so
sure. It was declared that if the bal
loting ever gets by the first ballot Illi
nois will go to pieces and probably 30
of the total will go to Mr. Taft.
A. M. Stevenson, who sat near the
throttle of the steam roller in the na
tional committee, was early on the
ground. He occupied a delegates seat
In the Colorado delegation. He was
sure there would be no more than a
parliamentary riot. He sat not far from
where a member of the Texas delega
tion arose and furnished three cheers
for Roosevelt.

Mrs. Georgia Wright To ‘Storm’
Legislature For Permit To
Practice Law.
Mrs. Georgia Mclntyre Weaver, of 340
Courtland street, who graduated at the
Atlanta Law school last night, is today
planning a fight for admission to prac
tice on the Atlanta bar that may reach
the supreme court of the United States.
Th“ first steps Mrs. Weaver will take
will be to have a bill amending the
present law Introduced In the state leg;
islature the latter part of this month,
and If it passes her fight will be of
short duration. But a similar bill was
introduced last session and w-as receiv
ed unfavorably, and If the same fate
befalls the new’ one Mrs. Weaver will
apply to the court for admission to the
bar. Failuie to secure a place will
bring an appeal to the Georgia supreme
court, and if the petition is refused
there it will be carried to the United
States supreme court.
Declares Men of
Georgia to Blame.
“I am going to have a place on the
bar if I have to work ten years to
get it," said Mrs. Weaver. “Women
have just as much right to practice law
as men. and I mean to take the lead in
giving them this right.
“They are allowed to practice in all
but three stakes of the Union, and in
most cases the petitions for admission
reached the United States supreme
court. I mean to carry mine there if
necessary.
“I believe I would w’ln there, for it
is not so much the law' that keeps
women from the bar as it is the fight
the men lawyers make to keep us from
it. They may prolong the effort to
keep this privilege from us, but 1 think
we w ill win in the end.
“Constitution Not
Aimed at Women.’’
"My’ belief is based on former opin
ions of the supreme court, in which
it was said that all men have a right
to the pursuit of all avocations, all hon
ors and all professions, and that be
fore the law this right to the choice of
an avocation can not be said to be
abridged on account of sex.
"Certainly the framers of our con
stitution intended no such results and
surely the legislature never intended
any such purpose. It is not possible
for us to believe that the legislation
was enacted in reliance upon any sup
posed rule of the common law, which
would exclude women from the enjoy
ment of any such rights.”
Court Advises
New Lawyers.
The members of the graduating class
appeared in first division of superior
court today and were granted law li
censes. The ceremony was short. Judge
W. D. Ellis approved the list of grad
uates and spoke briefly. He said:
"The law' is a learned profession, and
it is an exacting one. Remember a li
cense to practice law is not a license
to make a living by tricks rather than
by hard work.”
Susan Holcomb.
The funeral of Susan Holcomb, 18-
months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John H. Holcomb, who died yesterday'
was held at Poole's chapel today. In
terment was in Casey’s cemetery.
Fred Mulkey,
Fred Mulkey, two-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Mulkey, who died
late yesterday, was buried at Mount
Zion cemetery' today, following funeral
services at Poole's chapel.
AT THE TREAT ERF
FEATURE BILL OF STARS
MAKES HIT AT FORSYTH
Trixie Friganza received a warm wel
come to Atlanta upon her appearance
at the Forsyth last right. Both Miss
Friganza and her audience laughed
throughout the extent of her stay on
the stage. The charming comedienne
has a jolly laugh end smiling eyes that
would bring a response to any one
who looks at he/, even if she did not
say anything. <nd she has quite a bit
to say, and some fetching little sing
lets. and even essays a few steps of
what everybody Is doing. One of Miss
Friganza's s/ngs In w'hlch she calls:
“Oh. Henry in a beseeching tone,
caught the popular fancy, in an es
pecial manner, and after the show, one
heaid the call. “Oh. Henry,” on every
side. T ixie is a popular favorite here,
and is ire to draw’ a crowd this week
at the Forsyth.
Beside Miss Friganza, the bill at the
vaudeville house is unusually’ good.
There are several out of the ordinary
features. Joe Welch, the well known
comedian, has many admirers in At
lanta. and his act. on the opening night
>as received with enthusiasm.
Then there is the “Up-to date Mis
sionary,” a miniature musical comedy
that goes well. Tom Lipton, assisted
by Grace Lindquist, as the Zulu queen,
and a number of pretty Zulu girls, gives
a series of songs and dances, with
funny sayings and situations, the scenic
effect being especially pretty also.
Another novel act of unusual merit is
the Japanese wonder worker billed as
"The Great Asahi.” Some wonderful
dancing is done by one of the two
blackface comedians, Hibbert and War
rent, in their act. The bill is com
pleted by Les Montforts in a tip-toe
act of its kind, and the Three Bel
monts. in a singing and dancing trio,
the feature of W’hlch Is the scarecrow
girl’s st unt.
GO TO BALTIMORE
Legislature Probably Will Not
Get Down to Actual Business
Before July 1.
Although the Georgia legislature will
meet Wednesday, June 26, it w'lll not
get right down f,o business until the
following Monday.
There will be many vacant seats
W’hen President of the Senate Slaton
and Speaker Holder call their respec
tive chambers to order for the last
session of the present general assem
bly.
It is likely that a quorum will be
'present, of course, but it is not likely'
that two-thirds of both houses will an
swer the first morning's roll calls.
It is probable that routine matters
will be disposed of Wednesday and
Thursday, and possibly Friday. Both
houses w'lll adjourn either Thursday
or Friday until the following Monday,
declaring the intervening days to be
non-legislative days. and. therefore,
not a part of the 50 days limit to which
sessions are held down by' the consti
tution of the state.
Many Going to Baltimore.
A great many members of the legis
lature will go to the national Demo
cratic convention'ln Baltimore.
Not a few' of them are delegates, and
many more are ardent Underwood men.
and want to be in the Monumental City
when the big Democratic pow-wow is
on.
The Indications now’ are that both
specials from Georgia to Baltimore will
be crowded w’ith delegates and other
Georgians going to the convention to
help whoop things up. Next to Ala
bama, Georgia probably will send more
"rooters” to Baltimore thany any other
Southern state.
In these circumstances, a sort of un
written "gentleman's agreement" seems
to have been entered into between
members of both the senate and the
house that nothing by' way of import
ance or general legislation shall b- un
dertaken by the legislature untl/ after
the Baltimore convention hat, been
held.
This understanding means that the
real work of the legislature will hardly
begin before Monday, July 1

Blosser & Co. Declare Open
Shop and Fifteen Workmen
Are Idle Today.
Fifteen printers, pressmen and book
binders are on strike today at the job
printing shop of Blosser & Company,
on Walton street.
President Still, of the Typographical
union, declares the men were locked
out of the Blosser shop when they ap
peared there for w’ork yesterday; that
they were told by Superintendent Kay
sor that they could return to work
only’ upon the understanding that they
work nine hours a day' hereafter for
the same money they were getting, and
that the shop W'ould be an open shop
hereafter. They refused.
The men declare that the Blosser
company, joining the ranks of the Ty
pothetae or non-union bosses in this
city, has agreed to a plan whereby
the journeymen’s hours of work shall
be increased and the price of finished
work to the consumer advanced. They
say this movement on the part of the
Typothetae has already driven several
large printing contracts from Atlanta to
other Georgia cities. They declare that
the non-union bosses' organization has
entered into a pool to bid for all job
printing contracts and distribute all lo
cal contracts equally among their shops
at an extra p ice than would prevail
if the “printerg trust” had not been
formed.
Manager Denies Charges.
Manager Kaysor, of the Blosser com
pany. denied these charges. He issued
a statement In which he said the Bios
ser company' was manning half its ma
chines with men today in spite of the
strike. He added that hereafter the
company would operate its plant as an
open shop, with nine-hour workdays.
He said the company extended a. hearty
invitation to its men to return to work
by 5 o’clock yesterday, that having re
fused the men would not be taken
back.
The strikers declared this afternoon
they would remain out and
that the International Typographical
union had promised them aid in not
only breaking this “lockout," but in
bringing into the union the other "rat”
job printing plants In Atlanta.
