his face and without waiting for a coat,
the fireman manned his wagon and dashed
down Peachtree street. The wind from
around the Candler bulbing. accentuated
by the speed of the fly ing engine, whipped
up the lather to the point of covering all
but the fireman's eyes and an Iron gray
mustache. Still Hudson did not flinch.
" hen the chemical engine came to a
stop, the fire was practically out. and
Fireman Hudson began to take an in

a rubber coat, pulled up the collar, anil
went hack to the tire house to finish his

Miss Josephine Windle on Spir
ited Steed Takes Hurdles
Which Worry Army Riders.
The vaunted horsemanship of the
South is a myth. If it ever existed, it
has disappeared from the land like the
custom of giving up seats in street
cars, if the cavaliers of the Old South,
who rode to the hounds each morning
as regularly as they consumed their
matin toddy, were to return to earth
and view the equestrian performances
of their descendants they would be
willing and eager to return to the cold,
cold ground and try to forget.
This is the opinion of Miss Josephine

\\ indie, of Atlanta, but until a few
months ago of England. She’s but
eighteen years old, but she knows all
about horses and horsewomanship, for
she was praeticaily born in the saddle.
Miss Windle has startled the experts
of tile Piedmont Driving club and the
army circle at Fort McPherson with
the daring and grace of her feats of
horsewomanship. It is freely predicted
in these circles that at the horse shows
of the South next year Miss Mary All
good Jones, of Atlanta, will find a dan
gerous rival in tiiis little English miss.
On her favorite mount, a spirited,
willful little mare called "Red Girl,”
she has taken hurdles at Fort McPher
son at which even tlie most skillful
and daring of the officer riders look
twice.
And she sees nothing remarkable in
her accomplishment.
"Why. in England, all the girls ride
to hounds." she said. "It is our fa
vorite pastime. Naturally we become
at home in the saddle. I can not un
derstand why so few girls here ride.
It is one of the few sports where wom
en can compete on an equal basis with
the men. and the country is ideal for
cross-country riding."
Continuing with little more than a
suggestion of English accent. Miss
Windle said:
‘And the men ride so miserably. 1
have seen tlie fewest number who can
ride at all. I'hosc who do seem to
take it as a task and not as n pleasure.
No wonder more of them do not take
it up, if all they have to judge from is
the men "ho do hav, horses.”
Miss Windle is preparing to appear
at several of the Southern horse allows
next season, and in the meantime hopes
to stimulate intend in horses among
in i associates Ip Atlanta

GIRLS IN NIGHT
SCHOOL NEED SID
Fund to Provide Suppers for
Poor Students Is Sought by
Clubwomen.
Extension of the work of the Girls
Night school and the tremendous increase
In attendance has brought the philan
thropic workers in charge of the institu
tion face to face W’ith the food problem
and incidentally the high cost of living.
Two years ago when the school was
founded the managers at once saw that
it would be necessary to furnish supper
for the students. A fund was raised to
supplement the appropriation of the
hoard of education and through the
medium of the Y. W. C. A. a meal, cost
ing 10 cents, was served each girl for
2 cents.
This year, however, there are 115 girls
enrolled Each night at least 50 get their
suppers at the school. Separate meals
are served for the foreign girls on ac
count of their religious scruples and the
large increase has drained the fund. A
committee headed by Max Kutz and
Charles T. Nunnally has been named to
take charge of the raising of this fund,
with the aststance of the Woman’s club
and contributions are being sought.
Work in the school is being extended.
Tlie girls not only are being taught the
rudiments of education, but are given les
sons in home nursing, hygiene, etc

INSANITY 15 PLEA
IN‘RIPPER’ TRIAL
Attorneys for Negro Declare He
Confessed to Slaying Wo
man to Gain Notoriety.
"We are going to show this court that
this negro is insane on the subject of
notoriety; that he becomes hysterical
when he gets excited, assumes an air
of braggadocio and confesses to things
he never did.” said Judge Willingham,
attorney for Lawton Brown, a mulatto,
arraigned before Judge Roan in su
perior court, charged with the
".Fack the Ripper" murders.
In outlining his defense to the jury,
the prisoner's lawyer intimated that
Brown confessed to crimes he had
never heard of until sweated at police
headquarters. He asserted he would
show the court that the police confes
sions, which detectives say Include ad
missions to several of the "Jack the
Rippqr” crimes, merely were hallucina
tions obtained under the pressing of
the police "third degree."
Brown was brought to trial today,
charged with the murder of Eva
Barnes, alias Eva Green, who was
found with her throat cut in the Pitts
burg section several months ago. Chief
of Detectives Lanford and Officers Co
ker and McGill asserted that Brown
confessed not only to the killing of the
Barnes woman, but admitted havins/
iiad a hand in several other of the uni
solved "Jack the Ripper” crimes.
One witness, a cousin of the prfa.
oner, would have had the court be
lieve that Brown was chained tft a
chair at police headquarters when, the
confession was forced from him t<y the
officers.
