7 THE ATLAM.lV utuniii.\;s a.\ii Ar.un, Diplomas Needed to 3 Railroads Fined Avoid Teachers' Test $1,300 in U. S. Court TO Damage Already Reaches Intoj Millions—Golf Links Are Pro tected Against Loss. LONDON, May 12. - Inquiries insti tuted at Lloyd's have developed the fact that the insurance companies are reaping - a golden harvest as a result of guffiftagette depredations. Busi ness has received a great impetus both from the Insurance of golf links *as well as from fire risks. Numerous golf clubs have In mired against revenue losaes as the result of militant interference, while others have taken out policies insuring goif greens against damage by suffra gettes. The premiums charged are $5 per green per annum, the limit of the underwriters' liability being $250 on each green. 1 hese insurances, however, were mostly for three months, because* it is believed that the trouble will be settled in that time either by a tri umph of the militants or by the sup pression of their campaign. Insurance against fire has been equally brisk, but owing to the great competition in this business rates have not been affected. Damage to Date $5,000,000. Estimates of +he financial loss caused by suffragette outrages, pre pared for the Home Secretary, put the amount, as $5,000,000. This sum does not include the expense of employing large numbers of extra police, detec tives and watchmen to protect Minis ters. public buildings and meetings. Three detectives have been assigned to protect each Cabinet Minister at all times. All suspected persons are shad owed by plainclothes men and all pub lic buildings are under special guard. Since the defeat of the woman suf frage bill large numbers of former constitutional suffragists have joined the militant movement. An attack on the House of Lords is one of the new pians. and this is to be accomplished by means of a suffragette typist who could get a position on the reporting staff of the upper house. Arrests Check Riots. In spite of the sensational outrages of the past week and although the militants are keeping up a strong bluff, their organization has been shaken by recent arrests of leaders. The militant acts now being commit ted are the handiwork of suffragettes I working independently, and the qu- j thorities believe that the removing of the central controlling influences will soon break up the campaign of de struction. This optimistic view is not shared by politicians generally, who believe that as long as money is forthcoming crimes will be committed. Militants Start Week By Burning Boat Club. LONDON, May 12.—Another week of violence was to-day ushered in by suffragettes. Militant women burned the building of the Nottingham Boat Club, damaging a number of boats.

Out in West End the ice wagons which ply that thriving section for trade usually are followed about from street to street by children who, are looking fo:- small bits of the con gealed moisture when chipped off by the icemen. The drivers of these wagons seem to be on the job from season to season and come to know- all the children by name. Several days ago, when the weath er was rather warm, a joyous ca tastrophe happened on Culberson Street. One of the big wagons was on the street when the mules attach ed to it became frightened at a piece of paper which was fluttered about, under their noses by a sudden gust of wind. The mules bolted. Down the street they tore at break neck speed. Then one of the wheels hit an electric wire pole and the wagon promptly turned over, break ing the wagon tongue and strewing the street with big cakes of ice. The children viewed the affair with squeals of delight. Not only had they been treated to a sure enough runaway, but here was enough ice on the ground to make their little tummies cool for a week. So down they swooped on the wreckage. They were met by one of the icemen who politely but firm ly informed the kiddies there was nothing doing. The ice, he said, still belonged to the company and he’d protect it with his life. That started something The children surrounded him and filched bit.* of ice when he wasn't looking. The driver had gone to a nearby tele phone to have another wagon sent out to carry off the remains of the load. The man on guard had his hands full and realizing he was *no match for the horde of youngsters, he bar gained with them. Everybody got a big chunk of ice provided they’d promise to go ’way and let the rest of it alone. And the kiddies kept their promise. * * * Wore a Flower For Mother’s Sake. It was Mothers’ Day in Atlanta, and all over the country, yesterday and lots of men wore a white flower for mother's sake. Many of the At lanta florists anticipated a demand for flowers and laid in a big supply of white carnations For a long time in Atlanta men didn't like to wear flowers. The only oxpl&nation is that they might be taken for weaklings; the habit, they figured, was one for women, not men. There is one man in the city, however, who for thirty years has always, worn a little- buttonhole bouquet, summer and winter. He is the confidential man for one of the big drygoods concerns and al though he celebrated his seventv-sec- onth birthday yesterday—he is as straight and acti'-e as a man of half that age. He is passionately fond of flowers and if he were to be with out his little bouttonniere It is like ly that the day would seem all w rong to him. His wife has mr.-ie it her special duty fo see that his bouquet is ready each morning, usually plac ing i. beside his plate at breakfast. His bouquet yesterday wa- a beau tiful white carnation, a little token of love for the old mother who died a good many years ago in Ireland. “Woman's Dress Fad Makes Living High'' Professor Sargent Says Americans Adopt Grotesque Styles.
