President of Street Railway
Men’s Union Arrested in Au
gusta-Strike Continues.
AUGUSTA, GA., Sept. 25.—While
thus far there has been no personal vio
lence attempted against strike-breakers
operating cars of the Augusta-Aiken
Electric and Railway Corporation, con
siderable damage has been done to the
property of the company by striking
motormen and conductors or their sym
pathizers.
Today the strike situation is very
much unsettled. Eight cars are being
operated on the Summerville and Mon
te Sano belt line, but all other city lines
and the Augusta-Aiken interurban road
are completely tied up. Police are rid
ing the few cars that are being run.
Today the president of the street car

court to answer a charge of holding a
trolley rope while a striker cut it. The
case was continued.
Last night several hundred feet of
track was tom up, a feed wire was cut
and a .trolley wire severed.
There was no attempt made to oper
ate cars last night.

FORCED TO PAINT. WIFE
SAYS IN DIVORCE SUIT
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.—Mrs. Mathilda
' errell charges in a divorce petition
h ;| t her husband, Henry, forced her to
huint his house. She also avers that

Cares More for Khaki Than
Silk, Mere for Bathing Suit
Than Ball Gown.
A pretty girl in a gray tailored suit
ran out of the Aragon hotel, slipped
under the steering wheel of a green au
tomobile with a young man inside it
and was off toward East Lake in a
hurry.
"There goes the Eleanor Sears of
Atlanta," said another young man, who
was left behind and looked as though
he was sorry. "She swims, rides, drives
a motor, runs a motorcycle, plays bas
ket ball and lives outdoors. If she
doesn't ride to hounds, it's because
there’s no hunt club in Atlanta, nor
any foxes."
The girl was Thelma Harrell, whose
father, B. Frank Harrell, is manager
of the Aragon. Miss Harrell 'lives in a
hotel, but she is far from being a sit
around-the-parlor girl. She's a tailor
made, divided-skirt, lea-ther-leggins
kind of girl, who cares more for khaki
than silk, likes a bathing suit much
better than a dancing frock and says
she had rather swim than play bridge.
"Oh, swimming," said Miss Harrell,
when she was asked what she liked
most of all sports. "I had a dip at East
Lake this morning. Yes, it was cold.
This is my last day, and I'm so sorry.
Down at our summer home at St.
Georges Island we swim much later
than this. But that’s salt water, you
know,
"No, I’m not a horseback fiend. I
used to love to ride, but since I've
grown used to motoring I don’t care
for horses. They seem slow, you
know. No, I haven’t a car of my own.
But I have so many good friends with
motors that I really wouldn’t have any
use for a car of my own.
“Os real games, basket ball is my
favorite. I played on the Hanna school
team last year, you know. It was lots
of fun. Os course, I like tennis. I'm
just learning to ride a motorcycle and

Just then a card came in. with the
message that somebody was waiting at
the door to try out a brand new motor
car and wanted an expert opinion. So
that ended the interview.

years old, told the eager children who
were watching his manipulation of the
