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 Effects of Hot Weather Professional Telephone Shopping Increasing Telephone Traffic Increasing Demand for Service Made possible by one main exchange, one modern sys tem, one standard of effi ciency and a rapid-fire service.

Hitchcock; Mr. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour and Mrs. Frank O. Lowden. 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. WINDOW BOXES FILLED.

MADEIN LOUISIANA 25L6S.NET , L NEW JERSEY J —” BATTLESFOHSEX *7 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 MRS. J. N. GANTT OIES. MARIETTA, GA.. June 18.—Mrs. J. N. Gantt, of this city, died late yester day afternoon, after an Illness of sev eral months. She is survived by her husband, J. N. Gantt; one son.

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. $21.35 ROUND TRIP TO BALTIMORE From Atlanta.
