SOCIAL REFORMS
South Georgia Methodists De
nounce Divorces, “White
Slavery” and Other Evils.
SAVANNAH, GA., Nov. 30.—Today’s
sesson of the South Georgia Methodist
conference was enlivened by the report
of the committee on temperance and
social reforms. Rev. C. M. Ledbetter,
chairman, which paid its respects to the
divorce evil, the white slave traffic and
the illegal sale of intoxicants.
The report was drastic in its recom
mendations to chuycli people to check
the growing tendency to divorce and
the corresponding lowering of the moral
tone of the country, and called upon
the congress of governors and the 1
Southern Sociological congress to use
their influence in having a law passed
by the national congress regulating the
granting of divorces in all the states.
The report also dealt without gloves
with the traffic in girls and young
women, and held the parents in part re
sponsible for the downfall of their
daughters because of the hesitation in
informing them of the dangers they
face. The report denounced automobil-
Ing as leading tn the wrong direction,
the fascination for this amusement
causing- girls to go out with • strange
men. it also denounced the acceptance
of unknown and untried men into the 1
social life of the homes.
To Accept Blackshear School.
The board of education recommend
ed the acceptance on the part of the
conference of the offer of the Presby
terians of their institute at Blackshear.
The offer was made to the Waycross

BOARD APPROVES
REFORMATORY
FDD WOMEN
Advanced System of Caring
For Female Criminals and
Juveniles Agreed Upon.
A reformatory plan for female and
juvenile offenders which will rival the
most advanced system of its kind in
the United States was agreed upon ten
tatively by a majority of the members
of l he Fulton county commission today.
The second step in the new reforma
tory system was taken by the commit
tee on public works this morning, when
it was decided to acquire land for an
adult reformatory to be modeled on the
cottage system. While the site for the
proposed institution lias not been se
lected, Commissioners Anderson, Smith
and Waters unanimously agreed that
the establishment of such an Institu
tion had become a necessity.
Judge Calhoun Upheld.
Marion Jackson, John J. Eagan and
Philip Weltner. representing the Men
and Religion Forward movement, ap
peared before the commissioners and
explained that under the county’s penal
system there was no place to house
adult female offenders.
“Judge Calhoun,” said Air. Jackson,
“has refused time and time again to
send women criminals to theWtockade
and he is right. A judge who would
send a white woman there should be
impeached.”
He called the commissioners’ atten
tion to the fact that Judge Calhoun re- ,
cently gave a woman a twelve months
sentence and then went before Govern
or Brown and asked for a commute- >
tion because there was no place In Ful
ton county to send her.
No Place for White Woman,
Under the present system, the county
has an Institution for negro women
near the Fulton county almshouse, but
no similar place has been established
for white women. The Men and Re
ligion Forward movement and the va
rious corrective homes have been car
ing for women given suspended sen
tences, but have been unable to look
after the incorrlgibles.
By the action of the committee the
commission has settled upon a definite
policy, and the land for a female re
formatory will be acquired as soon as
possible.
The alms and juvenile committee re
cently bought 438 acres of land for a
reformatory for negro boys sent up
from the children’s court. The county
already has in operation a reformatory
for white boys, and It Is understood
that an effort will be made to establish
a reformatory for white girls.
QUITS SECOND WIFE
TO PERMIT HER TO
TAKE N ™._ HUSBAND
NEW YORK. Nov. 30.—Robert M. Ul
mer, a traveling salesman, made the
"amende honorable" in the supreme <
court by testifying that he had two
wives, so that ills second wife, Mrs. Eva.
J. Ulmer, could obtain an annulment of
their marriage and marry another man.
Ulmer testified that in 1893 he mar
ried Miss Oteiia Reed. After a short i
married life they separated. The de
fendant said he heard that Mrs. Ulmer
No. 1 had left New York. He wrote her
letters, but never received a response.
Then Ulmer concluded that his wife wag
dead.
Ulmer became acquainted with the
young woman who appeared as the
plaintiff in 1904, when she was sixteen
years old. They were married in Ho
boken, and lived together happily until
1909. Then one day they were out
walking, when a young woman bowed
to Ulmer. "Who was that woman?" •
asked Mrs. Ulmer No. 2. “Oh, that was
my first wife. I thought she was dead,”
was the startling reply of Ulmer.
Mrs. Ulmer No. 2 looked up Mrs. U&
mer No. 1. When she learned her statui
she sued for the annulment of her mar
riage. In court she said she was al
ready engaged to marry another man.
Ulmer said he honestly believed that,
his first wife was dead, and he gave his
testimony with the understanding that
it would not be used against him in any
criminal proceeding. Justice Hendrick
granted the annulment. ,
SMALL BOY, PLAYING
WITH PISTOL, KILLS
8-YEAR OLD COUSIN
FORSYTH. GA., Nov. 30.—A. pistol
in the hands of a small boy resulted in
the death of his cousin and playmate,
Hesper Stone, eight years of age.
The pistol, the property of one
the gill operators in the local exchange
of the Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph Company, was kept on the
switchboard as a protection to the glrlg
who are on duty at night. While tho
operator on duty was busily engaged in
answering calls, James Minter, half
brother of one of the girls, picked up
the pistol. In an instant there was an
explosion, the ball entering the head of
the Stone boy just below his right eye.
As quickly as aid could be summoned
by tlie telephone girl, the injured iad
was carried io a physician’s office. .Al
though he was given every medical at-c,
tention, he passed away eight houre
later without ever having regained cor
seiousness.
Tlie little Minter boy is only six ye*?.
of age. He was so badly frightened?
the distressing accident that he Is s i
able to give an exact account of In
the shooting occurred. The tele pl
girl on duty at the time has collaß
from the shock. i
