M ISS PAULINE FRED
ERICK, whom Harrison
Fisher selects as the represen
tative type of the suffragettes’
ideal American woman.
Federal Prison Warden and Can
didate to Succeed Him Hold
Widely Different Views.
R. E. Davidson, chairman of the
State Prison Commission, whose can
didacy for the wardenship of the
Federal Prison in Atlanta was an
nounced this morning, and William
H. Moyer, whom Davidson wishes to
displace, expressed very conflicting
opinions to-day concerning flogging
convict women.
Mr. Davidson declared in favor of
the practice. Warden Moyer, who
has been ten years at the Federal
Prison and formerly was in the De
partment of Justice, is unalterabb
opposed to It
Would Quit Job First.
“If I were ordered to inflict such a
punishment," said the Warden, “1
would quit my Job before I would
obey.
"There can not be any necessity or
Justification for the whipping of
women. It is true that it frequently
is found more difficult to control and
discipline women than men and that
those in authority sometimes arc put
to sort straits. But whipping is con
ceded to be a sign of weakness on the
part of the wardens or whoever may
be in charge of convicts." *
Chairman Davison is in favor of
whipping refractory women.
The House and Senate passed a
joint resolution condemning the prac
tice and the Prison Commission, bow
ing to the sentiment expressed, issued
an order that it should cease.
"Personally I am in favor of whip
ping refractory women. Practically
all of the women convicts are ne-
gresses, and they are hard to control
at best, and when they get bad a
whipping is necessary," said Mr. Da
vidson.
McCulloch Condemns Practice.
James E. McCulloch, general secre
tary of the Southern Sociological Con
gress, which convenes in Atlanta April
25, declared to-day in regard to th»
request made to the State authorities
for permission to flog unruly women
prisoners, that the vast wave of pub
lic indignation against such a proced
ure on the part of the warden anc
guards was but the natural awaken
ing of the South to the more humane
methods of treatment of its criminal
class.

Ideal Beauty Found
by Harrison Fisher
Artist Declares That-the Studiously
“Thin Girl” of Fashion
Is a Mistake.
NEW YORK, April 17.—Harrison
Fisher, portrayer of beautiful women,
has put himself on record as favoring
the type of beauty which suffragettes
declare shall alone be represented m
| the pageant and tableaux to be given
at the Metropolitan Opera house on
| May 2.
The qualifications are “intellectual
beauty and physical perfection.”
“The doll type of prettiness is pass
ing,” said Mr. Fisher.
“From the artist’s standpoint the
present society fad of the half-
: starved, dieting, tremendously thin
woman is not to be commended. A
1 woman so thin that she seems too
ethereal for that splendid god-giving
duty—the bearing of children—is not
a type that any true artists should
consider beautiful.
“The woman who possesses these
splendid qualifications that the suf
fragettes have marked as their
standard, are, I believe, strikingly
represented in Miss Pauline Freder
ick, who combines both strength and
beauty of face.”

REAL COMEDY AT THE LYRIC.
The advisability of opening your own

ceive a fake telegram from his uncle
giving him an opportunity to leave the
city for a little frolic, and never doubt
ing that the telegram which was being
handed to him was the right one, tells
his suspicious wife to read it for her
self. Imagine his consternation when
he finds that the telegram is from
Daisy Gumdrop, begging him not to
forget his engagement in Ypsilanti next
day. Of course this raises all kinds of
trouble and it takes two whole acts to
untangle it. The comedy is immensely
funny.

GRANT BUILDING
AWAITS TRIAL
Faces Court To-morrow After Al
most Three Years for Her
Husband’s Death.
SWAINSBORO, GA , April 17 -The
trial of Mrs. Mattie Flanders, charged
with complicity in the poisoning of
her husband. Fred Flanders, to-day
was deferred until to-morrow morn
ing. Sheriff R. W. Ooursey and depu
ties had been unable to complete the
summoning of the 248 veniremen
whose names had been drawn for jury
service in time for the case to be
called at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the
hour set.
Dr. W. J. MeNaughton, under death
sentence for slaying Flanders, is ex
pected to be a witness, but that has
not been definitely determined. He Is
still in the Chatham. County jail at
Savannah. If it is decided to place
him on the stand he will probably
leave Savannah to-night.
Great crowds from all parts of
Emanuel and adjoining counties ar
rived here to-day for the woman’s
trial, and more are coming to-morrow.
Mrs. Flanders arrived early to-daj
from her home at Bartow.
Waited Three Years for Trial.
For nearly three years Mrs. Mat-
tie Flanders has lived in seclusion,
unable to obtain a trial, and con
fronted with the most serious charge
without an opportunity to answer.
Immediately upon the death of her
husband, Fred Flanders, in Covena,
in June, 1910, she went to the home
of her father, in Bartow. Two days
later the sheriff of Emanuel County
came for her, armed with a warrant
for her arrest on the charge of com
plicity in the murder of her hus
band.
An investigation, demanded by the
Flanders family, had evolved the ac
cusation that she helped Dr. W. J.
MeNaughton to poison her husband.
The two were Indicted jointly, but
there was a severance, and Dr. Mc-
Naughton was put on trial and con
demned to be hanged. The cause of
Mrs. Flanders was continued.
With each succeeding term of court
her case was postponed on various
pleas by attorneys for the defense
and for the prosecution. It was call
ed to-day for the sixth time. With
the continual postponement the sus
picion was voiced in several quarters
that no attempt would be made to
convict Mrs. Flanders, and that the
vengeance of the prosecutors was
centered on the execution of Dr. Mc-
Naughton.
Woman's Testimony Awaited.
It was hinted that evidence which
would lighten the cloud against Mc-
Naugiiton would be revealed if Mrs.
Flanders were ever brought to trial.
One of the most fearless in an
nouncing this opinion was J. D.
Adams, editor of a weekly paper at
Swain8boro, an editorial by him pre
cipitating a fight between him and
Lee Flanders, one of Dr. McNaugh-
ton’s enemies.
Governor Brown heard of the ru
mors that Mrs. Flanders would not be
tried and granted respites to Dr. Mc-
Naughton from time to time, with the
declaration that the man would not
hang until the woman indicted with
him was tried. The original date set
for the execution of Dr. MeNaughton
was in the fall of 1910, but he is alive
by the clemency of the Governor and
is confined in the jail at Savannah. He
was taken there because it was feared
that he was not safe in Swalnsboro.
He will be brought to Swainsboro as
a witness in the woman’s trial.
Mrs. Flanders, during the entire pe
riod since her arrest, has declared
that she was eager for a trial, seeing
therein the only means of clearing her
name of the charges against her. She
has pleaded that, her case be not nol
prossed or dropped without a hear
ing.
The Death of Flanders.
The story of the charge is this;
Dr. W. J. MeNaughton lived in the
home of Fred Flanders and his wife.
Flanders, ill from nephritis, was at
tended by his boarder, but died after
several weeks’ confinement. The Flan
ders family demanded an investiga
tion. Their kinsman’s body was ex
humed and its organs examined. Ex
perts found a trace of arsenic, and Dr.
MeNaughton and Mrs. Flanders were
arrested for an alleged conspiracy. In
the trial of the man evidence was
brought out in an effort to show that
an undue intimacy between the two
existed. Dr. MeNaughton was sen
tenced to death and fought his case
stubbornly through every court acces
sible to him, but without avail. Only
the action of the tlovernor has saved
him from the gallows.

Why He Couldn’t
Bring the Horse Up.
A congenial party were at ihe Atlanta
Club the other evening telling yarns.
A well-known sporting writer spun this
one, but laid no claim to originality;
“At an annual series of races ‘for all
comers,’ the sun was blazing down on
a field of hot, excited horses and men,
all waiting for a tall, raw-boned beast
to get into line. The patience of the
starter was nearly exhausted.
“ ‘Bring up that horse!' he shouted.
Bring him up.'
“The rider of the refractory beast, a
youthful Irishman, yelled back: ‘I can't!
This here’s been a cab horse, and he
won't start till he hears the door shut,
an’ 1 ain’t got no door.’ ’’
Anyhow, That’s What
It Sounded Like.
The lady was somewhat stout and'she
wabbled as she walked. She had just
passed the entrance to the Aragon when
she was seen to reel, turn half-way
round and fall heavily 10 the sidewalk.
To those who observed it looked as if
she had become suddenly ill—suffered
an attack of giddiness or something of
that sort.
A young man who happened to be
standing near talking to a friend hur
ried to her assistance. He lifted her
onto her feet.
“Have you vertigo?” he inquired anx
iously.
“Oh, no,” she replied, sweetly, “onls
just around the corner.”
Then he spied a banana peeling on
the sidewalk and understood the why-
fore of the tumble, but he didn’t un
derstand the lady’s answer. Do you?/
He Couldn’t Wait, But
Wanted to Hear the News.
A newsboy dropped a nickel through a
grating on Alabama Street and he tried
every' way r he could think of to rescue
it. Everybody who passed had to stop,
of course, and ascertain what was go
ing on. Finally quite a crowd gath
ered. It w'as composed of all sorts of
people. At last along came a well-
known business man.
He horned In to find out what the
rumpus was about. The boy told him.
The business man got busy right away.
He offered all sorts of advice concerning
rescue work. The boy tried each plan,
but without success. The business man
got excitedly interested. He urged the
boy on to better efforts. The crowd
got excited, too, and some began lay
ing wagers th&i the last scheme would
win. But It didn’t.
“I’ll tell you what to do,” shouted the
business man, “get a long stick and put
some tar on one end. That will pick
up tho coin.”
“But where’ll I get any soft tar?” in
quired the gamin.
“Get some putty, then,” exclaimed
the man.
“Have you got any about you?” was
the sarcastic rejoinder.
“Well, get some chewing gum—-that’ll
do,” was the advice.
The boy’s lips moved as if he would
argue. The business man’s hand flew
to his pocket.
“Here’s a nickel. Go get some chew
ing gum. Chew it. Fix a gob on the
end of that stick and fish out that coin,
and,” said he as he looked at his watch
and discovered he had already wasted
too much valuable time, “come round
to my office and let ine know if that
scheme was a success.”
Then off he hurried to keep an en
gagement. The boy’ followed directions
and finally landed the nickel on the end
of the gum-smeared stick.

Spent, Is Penniless
“Red” Russell, a police character
who lost both legs in a railroad acci
dent. to-day is a prisoner in the Tow
er penniless, having spent a fortune of
$10,000 in a few months.
As Russell languishes in a cell, n
big touring car, which formed pari of
his high life, is held up by an attach
ment in favor of his* creditors.
Russell obtained money for.his In
juries from the railroad, and set about
to spend it.
When Recorder Broyles bound him
over on the charge of assault and
battery, “Red” explained that his
money is all gone and that he has left

saloons and pool rooms had now de
serted him.
He is held for assault and battery
on Jake Srochi, of 66 Angier Avenue.
