TTTE ATLANTA CEOECIT \N AND NEWS, FRIDAY. MAY 2, 1012.
Publisher of Militants' Paper Is
Jailed, Eight Leaders Arraigned
in Drastic Warfare,
LONDON, May 2.—The Govern
ment continued its drastic warfare
against the militant suffragettes to
day. F. J. Drew, manager of the
Victoria House Printing Company,
where the militants’ newspaper, The
Suffragette, was issued yesterday,
was placed under arrest charged/with
complicity in an illegal act. In spite
of the arrest, the women editors, of
the paper declared it would be on the
streets this evening as usual.
While officers were taking Drew
Into custody, the eight prominent
members ‘'‘and officers of the Wo
men’s Social and Political Union, ar
rested Wednesday Tn a raid upon
the Union’s headquarters, were be
ing arraigned in Bow Street Court.
The women arraigned were Miss
Barbara Kerr, secretary of the Union;
Miss Annie Kenney, business mana
ger; Flora Drummond, known as
“General,” and adviser to the “Vio
lence Committee;” Miss Bake, Miss
Lennox, Aliss Barrett, Mrs. Saunders
and or.e other.
Aeroplane Campaign Planned.
They were charged with destruction
:>f property, conspiracy and inciting
others to violence.
Scotland Yard has learned of a
new plan, that of having several aero
planes 11 v over London, deluging the
City with suffrage literature and
dropping dummy bombs in the
streets. The bombs will bear such
inscriptions as the women have used
on the placards and implements of
destruction.
Miss MacCauley, who presided at
last night’s demonstration of mili
tants. declared to-day, “It is now war
to the knife.”
“Home Secretary McKenna will
find that he has adopted a game that
two can play,” said Miss MacCauley.
"He will find we are not children
and that we have just begun to fight.”
Miss MacCauley would not say
what dire consequences would follow'
If the Government continued using
iron hand methods against the mili
tants.
Rail Disaster Averted.
A di osier in which many lives
might have been lost was averted to
ds v at the Piccadilly Circus Station
t of the Subiay when a track walker
found a package containing a bottle
of nitroglycerine on the track. He
just had time to remove it from the
rails when a crowded express train
thundered by. The attempted outrage
is attributed to the suffragettes.
In spite of the raid yesterday on
the suffragettes’ headquarters, The
Suffragette, somewhat diminished in
size, appeared on sale.
“It is the greatest blow the mili
tant women have yet received.” ac
cording to The Daily Chronicle,
speaking of the raid.
“It is the first step toward the
complete suppression of the militant
suffragette movement,” says The
Daily News.

THE PLAYS
THIS WEEK
Forsyth Offers Good Bill.
Smashing attendance records is an old
trick of the. Forsyth, and though the
new season is but a few days old, the
figures for attendance already eclipse
any past records. The vaudeville bill
is a good one. The house has been
crowded ut every performance. There
has not been a wasted second in the
entertainment. All the acts have scor
ed real triumphs in hits.
For the coming week the star act will
be Gus Edwards’ Kid Kabaret. This is
a combination of seven pretty girls
and eight juvenile comedians, who have
been appearing in New' York and Chi
cago exclusively since last September.
Miss Bell Story will be an extra added
fealwre. This young lady has never
been seen here before. She is a delight
ful entertainer, using her own songs
and exhibiting a wardrobe that will be
interesting.
Others on the bill are so important
in modern vaudeville that it is believed
the show w'iU be voted an event of the
season.
“Butterfly on the Wheel" To-night.
To-night Miss Billy Long and her
company, which is playing a summer
season at v the Atlanta, will return to
the city and again give “A Butterfly
on the Wheel,” the sensational divorce
play,-which has scored a hit. The play
will also be given at Saturday’s matinee
and Saturday night. Next week “The
Girl From Out Yonder," a rare comedy,
will he played by the company. This
play has never been seen in Atlanta
but one time, and then scored a hit.
Miss Long appears first in a sailor hoy’s
costume, and is as cute as Billie Burk<
in it. The entire comedy is.w'ell cast.
Two new members also make their debut |
Monday night in the play. Seats now
selling.
“Billy, the Kid,” at Lyric.
It doubtless will be unwelcome news
to patrons of the Lyric to know that
the present attraction Will he the last
of the regular theatrical season at this
house. “Billy, the Kid,” has played to
large audiences, and lovers of melo
drama have voted the attraction one I
of the most pleasing in a melodramatic [
way of the season. The three remain
ing performances should draw large
audiences, as the advance sale gives
promise of good attendance.
Stock Planned for Lyric.
With the closing of the Lyric to
morrow night this house will undergo a
thorough renovation, pending the or
ganization and rehearsing of a stock
company to present high-class plays
during the summer season. The Lyric
has been the home of some excellent
stock organizations in past seasons and
patrons of the house will doubtless he
interested in knowing ' that plans for
summer stock are again under way.
MONTGOMERY. ALA., May 2.—
Governor O’Neal has dismissed his
private secretary, his recording sec
retary and his personal stenographer,
thereby removing the whole clerical
force of the Executive Office. The
resignations were demanded yester
day afternoon late and all three of
ficials complied immediately with the
request. The retiring officials are
John D. McNeel, private secretary;
James H. Nunnally, recording secre
tary, and T. D. Simpson, personal
stenographer.
The ornor said that as McNeel
is a candidate for a position under the
Wilson .administration and Nunnally
is a candidate for Secretary of State
of Alabama, their connection with
his office is embarrassing.
No reason is given for Simpson’s
removal. The public takes the Gover
nor’s statement with a grain of salt
and believes something else is behind
the removals.
Mr. McNeel is succeeded by Daniel
Troy, a prominent Montgomery law-
yer, who will assume his new duties
to-day. Mr. Nunnally is succeeded
by John Moffatt, for years chief clerk
aft the Exchange Hotel. No announce
ment has been made as to Simpson’s
successor.
SURGEONS USE FINGER TO
REPLACE WOMAN’S NOSE
LOS ANGELES. May*^.—Surgeons
in the Pasadena Hospital to-day were
building a new’ nose on the face of
Mrs. Mabel Johnson, of Los Angeles
They w'ere using the third finger of
her left hand, placing the Lip of tbe
finger between her eyes and removing
the bone nearest the palm of the
hand to form the tip of the artificial
nose.
The doctors said the skin was knit
ting well and that the blood supply
apparently was uninterrupted. The
operation will last several weeks.
Recitals, to Pay Bills for Cheap
Lunches for Working Girl
Pupils, Planned.
A benefit recital, billed as “neces
sary because w'e haven’t enough
money to pay bills for the last
month of the Girls’ Night School,”
will be given in Cable Hall. Satur
day evening, by three girls of talent
anti beauty who have volunteered
their services. They are Miss Ethel
Thornton, Miss Verna Ruth Harris
and Miss Agnes Coleman, readers
and elocutionists.
The program will lie varied, with
drama, humor and pathos promised in
the selections. The recital is prima
rily for the benefit of the Supper
Fund of the School. Dialect sketches,
playlets, thrilling bits . of famous
poems with musical obbligatos^ are
billed.
Helps Pay Penny Meals.
The Supper Fund of the Girls’
Night School is used to pay a consid
erable portion of the expense of
meals which are served the working
girls attending the school. That they
may come to the school directly up
on leaving their places of work in the
evening, the supper is spread at 6:30
o'clock, at the cost of a penny to
them.
The night school, in charge of Mrs.
Laura White, superintendent, has an
enrollment of 155 girls, all of them
working girls who have been pre
vented from obtaining an education.
They range in ages between 12 and
30 years.
Taught Only Essentials.
In the schools the girls of Atlanta
who work In shops, factories, offices,
stores, some of them unable to write
or speak English or solve elementary
problems in business arithmetic, are
taught the essentials of education.
The school, a branch of the city
schools, has not public provision for
the Supper Fund, which is found
necessary to its successful existence,
and has obtained it by subscription
from merchants and manufacturers
who realize the value of the school.
The recital which the three young
women will give Saturday is the first
of its kind toward this end.
