M ISS PAULINE FRED
ERICK, whom Harrison
Fisher selects as the represen
tative type of the s.’ffr.igettes'
ideal American woman. ,
Federal Prison Warden and Can
didate to Succeed -Him Hold.
Widely Different Views.
R. E. Davidson, chairman of the
Stale Prison Commission, whose can
didacy for, the waiMenship of the!
Federal Prison Jin Atlanta was an-
nounced this morning, and William
H. Moyer, whom Davidson wishes to
displace, expressed very conflicting
opinions to-day concerning Hogging
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 unalterably
opposed to it.
* Would Quit Job First.
"If I were ordered to inflict such -i
punishment,” said the Warden, "l
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 or, put
10 sbrtj straits. But; w hipping is con
ceded to he n sign of weakness on the
part of the wardens ov whoever may
fee in charge of C'rWtets."
Chairman Davison is in favor of
whipping refractory; women.
The House and Sjenati passed a
joint resolution condemning the prac
tice and the Prison Commission, bow
ing to the sentiment expressed, issued
an order that it should ctase,
"Personally 1 am in favor of whip
ping refractory women. Practically
ah of the women convicts arc no-
gressec, and they arc hard to control
at best, and when they, get bad a]
w hipping 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 i
-5, declared to-dav in regard to tit-- !
request made to the State authorities
for permission lo flog unruh women
prisoner^, that the vus wave id' ruin-
lie indignation against such a proced
ure on the part of th« 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.—Harrisoh
Fisher. puHrayor of beautiful women,
has pufr himself on record .as favoring
the type of beauty which suffragettes
declare shall alone be represented in
the pageant and tableaux to be given
at the Metropolitan 6pera 'house <>n
May' 2.
The qualifications are "intellectual
beauty and physical perfection.”
"The doll type qf prettiness is pass-*
ing." said M\\ Fislver.
"From the uj’tist’s standpoint the
present society fad of the ha'.f-
starved, dieting, tremendously thin
wopian is ,not io be commanded. A
\Vofnan so thin that she seems too
ethereal for that splendid god-giving
duty—the bearing of children—is not
a t.Vfie that ' any true artists should
consider beautiful.
"The woman who possesses those
splendid qualifications that the suf
fragettes have marked as their
standard, are, 1 believe, strikingly
represented in Miss Pauline .Freder
ick, who combines both strength and
beauty of face.”

races Court To-morrow After Al
most Three Years for Her
Husband’s Death.
.SUAINSBORO, 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. \Y. Coufsey and depu
ties had been unable to complete the
summoning of tlie 248 veniremen
whose names had been drawn for jury
service in time for the case to be
culled at 2 o’clock this afternoon, the
hour set.
Dr. YY. ,1. McXaughton. under death
sentence for slaving Flanders, is ex
pected to be a witness, but that has
not been definitely determined. He is
still in the Ghatharn County jail at
Savannah. If it is decided to place
him on the ;*tand 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-da>
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 tlie most serious charge
without an opportunity to answer.
Immediately upon trie death of her
husband, Fred Flanders, in Covena,
in June, 1910, she went to the home
if her father, in Bartow. Two days
iater the sheriff of Emanuel County
a me 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.
McNaughton to poison her husband.
The two were indicted jointly, but
there was a severance, and Dr. Mc
Xaughton was put on trial and con
demned to be hanged. The cause of
Mrs. Flanders was continued.
With each succeeding term of court
iter 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. YY'ith
the continual postponement the sus
picion was voiced in several quarters
I 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
Xaughton 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
Suainsboro, an editorial by him pre
cipitating a fight between him and
Lee Flanders, one of Dr. McNaugh-
toiTs enemies.
Governor Brown heard of the ru
mors that Mrs. Flanders would not bo
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 3St
for the execution of Dr. McNaughtDn
was in the fall of 1910, but he is ally*-
by the clemency of the Governor, and
is confined in the jail at Savannah. Ha
was taken there because it was feared
that he was not safe in Suainsboro.
He will be brought to Suainsboro as
a witness in the woman’s trial.
Mrs. Flahders, 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. \Y. J. McNaughton 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-
I perts found a trace of arsenic, and Dr.
I McNaughton and Mrs. P’landers 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. McNaughton 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 Governor has saved
him from the gallows.

Why He Couldn't
Bring the Horse Up.
A congenial party were at the Atlanta
Club the other evening telling yarns.
A well -known sporting writer spun this
one. but laid no claim lo originality:
"At an annua! series of races ‘for all
comers,' the sun was blazing down on
a field of hot, excited horses and men.
all waiting tor a tall, raw-boned beast
to get into line. Tbe 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, jelled back; '1 cun't!
This here’s been a cab horse, and he
won't start till he hears the door shut,
an’ J 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 tall heavily to the sidewalk.
To those who observed it looked as if
she had become suddenly 111 suffered
un 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, "only
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 tbe 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 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 gaih
ered. It was 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 thai 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 the ccin."
"But where’ll I get any soft tar?" in
quired the gamin
"Get some putty, then," exclaimed
tho man.
"Have you got any about you?" was
the sarcastic rejoinder.
"Well, get some chewing gum—that’ll
do." was the advice.
'Phe boy’s lips moved as if he would
argue. The business man’s nand 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 me know if that
scheme was a success."
Then off ho hurried to keep an en
gagement. The boy followed directions
and finally landed the nickel on the end
of the gum-smeared stick.

of Atlanta have been asked.
