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 well 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.”

Two Hustlers in
Shetland Contest
AUGUSTA BILL'S
AUTHORS LOSE
Standing Changes Fast—County
Contestants Redouble Efforts.
Shetlands To Be Exhibited.
Four yearly subscriptions, with
Red Letter Ballots, counting in all
8,000 votes—were brought In. by
one contestant in The G- orgian and
American pony contest.
"Was it a rival in your district?”
the contest manager asks the boys
Leo Bowden, Athens, Ga.
and girls. "You don’t know. Very
likely, it was. Nothing is more
treacherous nowadays than over-con
fidence.
"Three days remain, after M : da>.
The strain soon will be over There
is not a boy or girl in the race who can
not well afford to pm every effort into
the work for this brief, final spurt.”
Some May Be Disappointed.
YY’hen the contestants come into the
officer the content 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 <>*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 upor
which little stress has been put Is the
fact that the boy or girl who gets
the greatest total of votes has first
choice of 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 Shetland?.
No Apathy in Country.
True, it may happen that the very
last pony may suit the 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.

Hammock is not seriously injured,
though weak from loss of blood. He
expects to return to his home this
week.

giving Augusta the commission form
of government, by members of the
Richmond County delegation, fea
tured Monday’s session of the House.
Judge Picquett winning in his efforts
to have it referred to the Committee
on Municipal Government, of which
he is chairman.
The authors of the bill. Olive and

on bottling plants; places an annual
tax of $5 on automobiles; levies an
inheritance tax and various other
taxes to increase the revenue of 1915.
It is expected that this bill will
occupy the House for several days.
If it passes within this tim e limit it
will be a record time for Georgia
lawmakers to dippose of so im
portant a matter.
Senator Kelley, of the Eighteenth
District, introduced a bill in the Sen
ate last Friday covering the same
matter. This has not as yet been
acted upon.
Considerable discussion resulted

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28 —Here
is the latest joke Jack London, the

London was operated on recently
for appendicitis. After the ordeal

pendix in his fingers for the patient
to fete. The author looked at it
thoughtfully, then grinned and said:
"It was a case of all alone In Lon

Puts Ice in Bonnet
And Goes to Church
ALTON. ILL., July 28— Mrs. E. B
Clarkson, aged 28. of Alton, is using
ice on her head to make the trip to
and .from the First Presbyterian Sun
day School weekly, to keep up her
record of fourteen years’ consecutive
attendance.
Mrs. Clarkson puts a small chunk
of ice under her old-fashioned bonnet
to prevent being overcome by the
heat. In a paper carried at her 6'ide
with her Bible she puts another piece.
YY r hen the first piece melts, the sec-
one piece is substituted.
sane man will contend that the Au-
gusta disturbance 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. YY’hen it does exist the Consti
tution is imperative that it s*hall be
paramount to the military.
The power of arrest In this case
would have secured the alleged dis
turbers and law-breakers until the
State was prepared for their trial anc
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 try offenses
committed in violation of the military
law. as above defined, but acts done in
th* caprice Of tyranny under martial
rulp 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 th€
parties aggrieved.
DALTON, July 28.—At an early
hour this morning the posse organized
to hunt down Clem Poole, who near
midnight shot and killed Policeman
Harry Cook while the officer was at
tempting to arrest him, disbanded,
the search being fruitless.
Poole last night shot twice at nis
wife as he followed her to the home
of her parents on First avenue. There
Policeman Cook met him. As the
officer advanced, Poole fired, the bul
let piercing the po.iceman's heart and
bringing instant death. Henry' Mitch
ell, accompanying tne officer, grabbed
the weapon from Poole, but he es
caped. Bloodhounds trailed the fugi
tive for a time and then lost the
scent.
The murder has greatly aroused
Dalton, for Policeman Cook was a
popular member of the force. He is
survived by his wife. A reward of
$100 has been offered by the city for
Poole’s capture.
