Federal Prison Warden and Can didate to Succeed Him Hold Widely Different Views. R. K. 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 K. Moyer, whom Davidson wishes to displace, expressed very conflicting opinions to-day concerning (logging convict women. Mr. Davidson declared in favor of the practice. Warden Moyer, who haa been ten years at the Federal Prison and formerly was in the De partment of Justice, Is unalterably opposed to It. Would Quit Job Fir«t. "If I were ordered to inflict such a punishment,” said the Warden, “I 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 diffic ult 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 warden? 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- ipg to the sentiment expressed, issued an order that It should cease. Personally I am in favor of whip ping refractory women. Practically al! of the women convicts are' ne- #-esses, and they are hardto control at best, and when they , get bad a whipping is necessary." raid Mr Da vidson.

Ideal Beauty Found by Harrison Fisher Artist Declares That the Studiously "Thin Girl” of Fashion Is a Mistake. NEW YORK. April 17. Harrison ftiRher. .portrayer of beautiful women, has put himself on record as favoring the type of beauty which suffragettes .declare shall alone be represented n the pageant and tableaux to be giv«-u at the Metropolitan opera house on May 2. The qualifications are "intellectual beauty arid physical perfection." "The doll type of prettiness is pass ing," said Mr. Fisher. "From the aYtiSt’s standpoint the present society fad Of the' half*-’ starved, dieting, tremendously thin woman is not to be commended. A woman so thin that she seems top ethereal fdT lh£t splendid/g<Jd-giving^ duty—the bearing of children—is note a type that any true artists should dohsider beautiful. "The woman who possesses those 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 arid beauty of face.” •MOSQUITO FLEET' MAKES HIGH TARGET AVERAGE WASHINGTON, April 17.

Till- trial of Mrs. Mattie Flanders, charged with complicity in the poisoning of her husband. Fred Flanders, lo-day was deferred until to-morrow morn ing. Sheriff K. W. t’oursey and depu tiee had been unable to complete the summoning of the 248 veniremen whose names had been drawn for jury service in tin e for the case to be called at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the hour set Dr. W. .1. McNaughton. 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 Uounty jail at Savannah. If ii is decided to place him on the s*iand lie 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 irial, and more are coming to-morrow. Mrs. Flanders arrived early to-day from her home at Bartow. Waited Three Year# 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 Oovena, in June, 1910, she went to the home of her father, in Bartow. Two days later the sheriff of Emanuel Uounty 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. \V. J. McNaughton 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 Naughton would be revealed if Mrs. Flanders were ever brought to trial. One of the most fearless in an nouncing this opinion was .1. D. Adams, editor of a weekly puper at Swainsboro, an editorial by him pre cipitating a fight between him and ftee 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 no'.. hang until the woman indicted with him was tried. The original date set for the execution of Dr. McNaughtm 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 Swainsboro. He will be brought to Swainsboro os 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 pressed or dropped without a hear ing. The Death of Flanders. T«he sioiy of the charge is this: Dr. YV. .1. 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 perts found a trace of arsenic, and Dr. McNaughton 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. 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. > m AsovffTovm ISSro K I Why He Couldn ’t Bring the Horse Up. A congenial party wete at the Atlanta Dlnh 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 Mazing 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 hack: *1 can't! This here's been a cab horse, and he won't start till he hears the door shut, I 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 to the sidewalk To those who observed it looked as if she had become suddenly ill suffered au attack of giddiness or something of that sort. A young man who happened to he standing near talking to a friend hur ried to her assistance. He lifted her onto iter feet. "Have you vertigo?" he Inquired anx iously*. "Oh, no." site 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 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 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 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 that 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 coin." "Bui 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 fiew to his pocket.. "Here's a nickel Go get some •* hew ing gum Chew it. Fix a gob on the end of that stick and fish out that coin, and," said lie as he looked at his wa'ch and discovered lie had already wasted too much valuable time, "come round to my office and let me know if that scheme was a success." Then ofT lie hurried to keep an en gagement. The hoy followed directions and finally landed the nickel on the end of the gum-smeared stick.
