Urges Bathing Skirts
For ‘Unshapely’ Men
CHICAGO, July 28.—A legal fight
was started to-day by Dr. Rosalie M.
Ladova, who was arrested at a park
bathing beach because she appeared
in a Sunday afternoon crowd of
swimmers in bloomers.
"Women can not swim w’ell in
skirts,” said Dr. Ladova to-day.
"Their figures are rounded so that
they do not need as thorough cov
ering as men. Men bathers go about
almost naked. Their hideous figures
should be covered from their necks
to their toes. They should be com
pelled to wear the skirts,”

likely, it was. Nothing is more
treacherous nowadays than over-con
fidence.
"Three days remain, after M.rdaj.
The strain soon will be over. There
is not a boy or girl in the race who can
not well afford to put every effort into
the work for this brief, final spurt.”
Some May Be Disappointed.
When the contestants come into the
office, the contest manager gets an
excellent line on their ideas. Some
times they are amusing. There are
several beys and girls who were lead
ing a week ago by good margins.
Strangely enough, in spite of repeated
warnings, these youngsters will not
believe that they are behind now.
This is the attitude which will bring
bitter disappointment when the final
standings are published next Sunday,
and the winners announced.
One feature of the contest upon
which little stress has been put is the
fact that the boy or girl who gets
the greatest total of votes has first
choice 3f all twenty-two ponies, and
so on down the list. For the ambi
tious lad it is not enough to win in
his district. He wants also to get one
of the first selections from the herd
of twenty-two Shetlands..
No Apathy In Country.
True, it may happen that the very
last pony may suit ttfe very last con
testant to perfection. But, again, the
chances are it will not.
There is no apathy in the country
districts. The work done by the con
testants outside of Atlanta is re
markable.
The ponies were to have been pa
raded Sunday, but the weather was
not propitious. If the weather does
not agair interfere the ponies will be
shown in the business section of At
lanta Wednesday morning at 10
o’clock.

MACON, July 28.—When G. F.
Hammock, a merchant of Dunbar,
was told at a private hospital here
to-day that John Shake, the negro
who shot him Saturday night, had
been lynched by a Houston County
'mob, he said:
"I am sorry the boys did that.
Shake was a bad negro, all right,
but it w'asn’t right to hang him.”
Hammock is not seriously injured,
though weak from loss of blood. He
expects to return to his home this
week.
Hammock detected the negro burg
larizing his store about midnight.
When he called on Shake to sur
render, the negro fired a shotgun.
The shot fractured Hamn^ck’s loft
wrist and also caused a painful
wound in the chest. ^
The negro escaped and took refuge
in the swamps below Wellston. A mob
caught him late Sunday afternoon.
After confessing that he did the
shooting, the negro was hanged to a
tree on the outskirts of Dunbar.

Sensational Stories Are Expected
From Persons Who Saw Troops
Shoot Citizens at Augusta.
•
Several startling affidavits from
eyewitnesses, it is understood, will be
introduced by Representative Been
when the legislative inquiry intd the
recent Augusta strike and the killing
of three citizens is resumed Tuesday
in the Capitol before the Committee
on Military Affairs.
The committee also has summoned
the officers and a number of privates
who were present at the time of the
shooting.
In the following article Attorney P.
C. McDuffie, who is retained in the
investigation, discusses "military law
and martial rule in Georgia.”
By P. C. McDUFFIE.
At the time of the Augusta strike
the militia established an imaginary'
dead line. No physical obstruction,
ropes, wires, red lights or danger sig
nals warned the people of the military
death-trap. It was simply an Intan
gible nothing, beyond which the whim
and caprice of the commander had de
termined the people of that city should
not pass.
They did not set apart a certain
place and say that anybody coming
willfully and Intentionally within its
boundaries shall be arrested, but with
out previous notice drew an imaginary
line and then without warning pro
ceeded to riddle with bullets three un
armed, innocent men, who could not
possibly have intended to commit vio
lence of any sort, nor could they have
been engaged in any riot, mob or
other unlawful act.
Mr. R. G. Price, attorney, of Louis
ville, Ga., states that he was in Au-
gustp at the time of the tragedy, and
at the scene of the shooting with his
brother, Dr. Price, of that city. He
naturally thought that he and his
brother owed the struggling men the
duty of assistance after they were
shot, but he says they were prevent-
CHICAGO, July 28.—William Hen

$200,000 estate will be taken by the
State of Illinois because there were
no relatives to claim it, was a negro.
For nearly 50 years he kept 4he se
cret.
The secret of his being of negro
blood was admitted by Fred C. Laird,
for ten years his partner. Lee never
married, Mr. Laird said, because he
feared that in his children the secret
of his negro ancestry might be re
vealed.
Appendix All Alone
In London, Said Jack
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28—Here
is the latest joke Jack London, the
famous author, is telling on himself.
London was operated on recently
for appendicitis. After the ordeal
the surgeoh held up the severed ap
pendix in his fingers for the patient
to see. The author looked at it
thoughtfully, then grinned and said:
"It was a case of all alone in Lon
don, wasn’t it, doc?"
sane man will contend that the Au
gusta di?turbance Justified its en
forcement. If in foreign invasion or
civil war the courts are actually
closed and it is impossible to admin
ister criminal justice according to
law, then, in the theater of active mil
itary operations, where war really
prevails, there is a necessity to fur
nish a substitute for the civil author
ity, and as no power is left but the
military, it is allowed to govern by
martial rule until the laws can have
their free course.
Constitution Paramount.
Martial rule is employed when force
may expel the civil authorities from a
part of the State, or when the civil
law is unable to perform its functions,
the military being on the spot to ex
ecute it where no civil authority ex
ists. When it does exist the Consti
tution is imperative that it shall be
paramount to the military.
The power of arrest in this case
would have secured the alleged dls
turbers and law-breakers until the
State was prepared for their trial and
the courts were ready to try them.
The men responsible for this atroci
ty were tried by a court-martial and
acquitted, but as the military was
without jurisdiction, the conclusion
reached is not binding upon„the State.
Courts-martial may trf offenses
committed in violation of the military
law, as above defined, but acts done in
the caprice of tyranny under martial
rule make the military commander
and his subordinates accountable to
the law of the land, both by prose
cution in the criminal courts and by
civil action at the Instance of the
parties aggrieved.
"A test of the new crematory' Mon
day morning proves my contention
that the plant is inadequate and not
worth the price,” said Mayor James G.
Woodward Monday.
"Councilman C. L. Ashley, chairman
of the Sanitary Committee of Coun
cil, is a practical mechanical engineer,
and it was he who made the test. He
reports that the Destrctor Company
demands that the garbage must bo
separated before being placed in the
furnaces, and, as the building only
provides one receptacle for alle garbag.
this will be almost an Impossibility.
Milwaukee Has Three Bins.
"In the Milwaukee crematory there
are provided separate bins for tha
garbage, and the wagons are emptied
into these bins, where they are
dumped directly Into the furnace.
That the’company did not provide for
the separation of the garbage is no
concern of the city. They did It *n
order to reduce the cost of construc
tion.
"Another matter is the petition for
a change in the quality of glass used.
The contract calls for fireproof glass,
polished on both sides. The cost of
this is $1,513. They ask that they be
permitted to use glass polished on one
side only and which is not trans
parent, which would cost them only
$576. In exchange for this difference
they agree to give the city the fire and
plain brick left after completion, fur
which the city has no use.
Only One Furnace Working.
"Another thing is that only one fur
nace is in workinr order, and it is my
opinion that it will not be completed
before Christmas, when, on account
of the difference in the water con
tained In the garbage, it will be too
late to make the tests necessary for
the disposal of garbage gathered ‘n
the summer months.
"If the City Council had backed me
up in this crematory fight, I would
have saved the city at least $75,000
and had a better crematory. A thor
ough test will convince the public that
I was right in every contention, and
that the city has been buncoed out of
more than $100,000.”

escaping personal injury.
If these things can be done with im
punity, surely the militia is paramount
to civil authority, which heretofore
has been shown, is in direct conflict
both with the statutory law and the
Constitution of Georgia.
"Martial” and "Military” Law.
Military law is the body of rules
and regulations that have been pre
scribed for the government of the
army and for the militia when called
into active service. In Georgia the
Articles of War governing the arrny
of the United States have been adopt
ed and are binding upon the militia.
Military offense, within the meaning
of the militia laws, is a violation of
these rules and regulations—they are
not criminal offends, as defined in the
several State Constitutions. Neglect
of duty, non-attendance >n drills, in
subordination. general disorder are
common examples. Martial rule or
martial law. as it is frequently incor
rectly expressed, is not synonymous
with military law.
There are occasions when martial
rule can be properly applied, but no
