I 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.

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.” ‘MOSQUITO FLEET’ MAKES HIGH TARGET AVERAGE ECZEMA SUFFERERS x Read what 1.

Atlanta’s Oldest Savings Bank GRANT BUILDING 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.

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. Many Pledge Aid in White Plague War Canvass of Four Days Nets More Than $500 for Anti-Tubercu losis Fund.

Although the canvass has been in progress not quite four days, more than $500 has been subscribed, which is approximately 10 per cent of the tund of $5,000 for which the citizens of Atlanta have been asked.
