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. $3.50 Recipe Free For Weak Kidneys.

SAVANNAH, GA- 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.” ‘MOSQUITO FLEET’ MAKES HIGH TARGET AVERAGE WASHINGTON, April 17.—Seven- teen torpedo boat destroyers of the United States Navy, in torpedo prac tice. at night firing off the coast of Cuba during the first part of April, made he high average of 82.6 per cent, according to an announcement of the Navy Department. REAL COMEDY AT THE LYRIC. The advisability of opening your own telegrams is being brought home to pa trons of the Lyric this week after wit nessing a performance of Charley Crape- win and his company in “Between Showers.'' Jed Hoover, expecting to re 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. Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads The Sunday American.

Atlanta's Oldest Savings Bank 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.

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. RESINOL WILL STOP THAT ITCH Brings Instant Relief and Quickly Clears Away Skin Eruptions.

He said that “friends” on whom he had lavished his money in saloons and pool rooms had now de serted him. He is held for assault and battery on Jake Srochi, of 66 Angier Avenue. 9 Dead, 15 Hurt, in Village Hotel Fire Explosion Adds to the Death Toll as Malone, N. Y., Inn Is Destroyed. MALONE, N.
