Atlanta women are not as bad
as New York women.
The devil would hardly enjoy a
walk along- Peachtree as well as
he would along Broadway.
And, even at this, the morals of
New York now are apparently
better than ever before.
The womeil who affect the ex
treme style of few clothes are but
a coterie of rapid ones who do not
in any way represent the great
bulk of American women.
Thus spoke Dr. Len G. Broughton,
who arrived in Atlanta Tuesday
morning. Twenty-seven pounds heav
ier than he was when residing in At
lanta, and just as ready as ever to
tight the devil, the noted divine talked
interestingly to a Georgian reporter,
and sprang to the defense of South
ern women.
In contrast, though, he declared
London to be the most remarkably
moral city in t'he world, doubly so
when considering its immense popu
lation.
“Moral Conditions Better.”
"But I can not help believing that
moral conditions generally are bet
ter,” he said. “New York is the gay
est at this time that I have ever seen
It. The theaters are just opening their
season, and the theatrical hotels are
wonderfully lively. It is around these
places that the extreme in feminine
attire is to be seen, where the few
trimmings and abandonment of mod
esty must indeed bring joy to the
devil. But this class of women should
not be taken as representative of the
true American women.
“It is true that the European idea
of the American women is that the
feminine sex here are extremists in
the matter af dress, and judging by
the general class of American women
visiting Europe, the Europeans can
not be blamed *for forming such an
opinion. The slit skirt, shadow* dress
and the other styles of dress, or lack
of dress, can hardly be other than the
devil’s own invention."
Silent on Vice Situation.
Dr. Broughton did not care to ex
press himself upon Atlanta’s vice sit
uation.
“I have not been here since Chief
Beavers began his crusade, and there
fore am not in a position to express
my opinion on it. But I will say this
for Chief Beavers: I have known him
for many years, and there was never
a cleaner or more upright gentleman,
and I do not think a mistake could be
made in trusting him. As to any
fight against him, I do not believe
the people of Atlanta would turn him
down.
“Atlanta is a fairly good town
morally. In fact, I think the condi
tion of the world’s morals is gradu
ally improving. In New* York, for in
stance, less drinking and other dissi
pation is to be noticed in public. Of
course, it is impossible to judge of
what is going on behind the doors, but
to all appearances the town generally
Is improving. I believe London is the
most moral big city in the world.
Puzzled By Interviews.
“The newspaper boys in New York
had quite a good deal of fun out of
me and my remarks of women’s at
tire was commented upon in a way
to make me wonder if I had really
said all of the things credited* to me.
But I suppose it is all in the game
and that news was dull. In the very
fast newspaper game I suppose some
of the reporters think it is all right
to overstep or understep things.”
Dr. Broughton is just a little afraid
that the London suffragettes may get
after him w'hen he gets back to Lon
don. He also said that the condi
tions there are as bad as reported,
and that if it had not been for the
actions of the militant suffragettes
that England would have granted the
women there the use of the ballot a
year ago.
Fears Militant’s Anger.
“Since I have been in America 1
have had reports that the suffragettes
are attacking churches in London,
and suppose I will come in for my
share when I return there. It is really
a pity that the suffragettes have
stoopd to arson and violence, for the
spirit of suffragism is strong in Eng
land. Undoubtedly the suffragists
would have won the right to the bal
lot a year ago except for the action
of the militant suffragettes.”
“The hunger strikes which the suf
fragettes are having are a bit amus
ing, in view of the fact that England
has a very strong law against allow
ing persons to commit suicide. A bill
is already pending in Parliament,
though, which will relieve this condi
tion, then the authorities may be able
to properly handle the situation.’’
Visiting His Brother.
Dr. Broughton is stopping at the
home of his brother, Dr. Joseph F.
Broughton, No. 102 West Twelfth
street. He was surprised when the
reporter called upon him, as he had
made efforts to keep the time of his
arrival here quiet, in order that he
might rest for a few days. He left
New York at midnight Sunday, after
a five weeks’ service, in which he
preached three times a day and is
very much worn out.
He will go to Macon in a few days
to conduct services there, and will
return to Atlanta Sufi day week to as
sist-in the installation of Dr. Mc
Connell as pastor of the Baptist
Tabernacle.

gard for human life.

M'CONNELL DEFENDS NEW WOMAN;
ARRIVES TO BEGIN TABERNACLE WORK
IS DAYS LATE
Famous Pastor Declares Modern Dress Is
an Indication of Trend of Times.
Only
Man Who Served 17 Years Should
Have Been Released July 12.
Addresses Pastors.
That he remained in prison exactly
46 days longer than was necessary
because of a misunderstanding in
Washington over the character of his
sentence was the information con
veyed* Tuesday morning to Thomas
Bram, who was released from the
Federal prison on a parole last Wed
nesday after serving seventeen yeqrs.
The information was received by
George P. Freeman, who was instru
mental in getting Bram’s parole, from
Representative William Schley How
ard, who inclosed a letter from C. H.
McGlasson, Acting Superintendent of
Prisons, with headquarters at Wash
ington.
Mr. McGlasson says he discovered
Bram’s case was not one of that class
held up pending the Attorney Gen
eral’s construction of the parole law,
as Bram w'as sentenced by the court
to life imprisonment and not sen
tenced to be hanged and later com
muted by the President.
If it had not b*»en for this misun
derstanding, Bram would have been
paroled about July 12. He was aware
of his eligibility to parole lon^ be
fore July 12. and in anticipation of his
release he became perhaps the hap
piest man among the hundreds behind
the bars.
When July 12 arrived, however, and
then the next day and following days,
and no news of the parole came,
Bram began to see visions of months,
perhaps years, of further imprison
ment. But finally he received the pa
pers which made him a free man.
The Labor Day festivities Monday
put a temporary check on Bram’s ef
forts to land a job In Atlanta. How
ever, he declared he is going cam
paigning again Tuesday, with every
hope of getting work before Wed
nesday. He says he is willing to do
anything honest. Mr. Freeman, his
best friend, adds anything without
Sunday work, for Bram, he says, aft-
er serving seventeen years in the
Federal penitentiary deserves at least
one day of rest each week.
Bram was the Invited guest and
speaker at the Atlanta Pastors’ Union
at Wesley Memorial Church Monday
morning.
French Woman Wins
Bryn Mawr Honors
PARIS. Sept. 2.—Mme. Galabert,

TAX RECEIVER ELECTED.
BUTLER.—At a special election
held in Taylor County for Tax R“-
ceiver W. J. Griffith, of Reynolds,
was elected by a safe plurality over
four competitors.
Declaring that the woman of the
present* day doesn’t mean to be* “bad”
by wearing the “latest" X-ray skirts,
silhouette gowns and the like, Dr.
Lincoln McConnell, the ney/ pastor
of the Baptist Tabernacle, who ar
rived in the city Monday night, es
tablished his position on the modern
movement, and incidentally differed
sharply with his famous predecessor.
Dr. Len O. Broughton, who says the
wearers of the late gowns are in
league with the devil with no possi
ble chance of ever seeing Heaven.
“Modern woman," declared Dr. Mc
Connell, “doesn’t mean near as much
by her fads as most people* seem to
j think. Neither is she bad, nor has
I she given up her old ideas of virtue.
! The fact that she is going to ex-
I tremes in dress as in other things is
simply another indication of the
‘Trend of the Times,’ the movement
all along the line—in religion, in pol-
! itics, in all governmental affairs, to
I throw off restraint.
“This so-called ‘shocking’ part that
woman is playing in the great move
ment ultimately will work out all
right. The restraint will be thrown
off (no doubt about that) the pen
dulum will swing far out—it has al
ready almost reached the farther
point—woman w'ill get universal suf
frage—-and then this same pendulum
will swing back again.
No Need for Alarm,
“There is a breaking away from the
old things—the cld faith—a whole
sale throwing off of all restraint. But
people should not be alurmed, for
there will be another trend backward
when the good has been reaped from
the present movement."
Dr. McConnell declared Tuesday lie
Doctor Calls Kissing
Fine, and Also Safe
PITTSBURG, Sept. 2—Kissing “as
a general proposition" is approved by
Dr. J. F. Edwards, head of the City
Bureau of Infectious Diseases.
“Kissing is as old as the human
race,” said Dr. Ed ward r “What harm
is there in it? It is not the puny
creature* that sits around and spoons.
Usually the men and women addicted
to this love affection are strong and
healthy.
“Weaklings do not have enough
energy to spoon. There is no special
danger in kissing."

Auto Relays to Bear Millionaire to
United States Is Reported.
Judge to Delay Decision.
SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Sept. 2.
—Just before the hour set for argu
ments to begin before Judge Matthew
Hutchinson in Constable John Boud-
erau’s habeas corpus, proceedings in
the Thaw case to-day, a report that
representatives of Dutchess County
New York, planned to kidnap Harry
Thaw caused great excitement.
Obstacles were placed in the way of
the alleged kidnapers by the an
nouncement of Judge Hutchinson that
he probably wtmld not deliver an
opinion quashing or sustaing the writ
until this afternoon or Wednesday.
Fair Crowd Is Disappointed.
Judge Hutchinson also announced
he would hear arguments in cham
bers, which was a keen disappoint
ment to the hundreds of persons who
stormed the courthouse. Thousands
of strangers are in town for the pro
vincial fair.
The plot to carry Thaw back to
New York in high-powered touring
cars relayed along the road was re
ported to be in the. hanjjs of Captain
John Lanyon, head of a private de
tective agency, who came here with
ex-District Attorney Williams Travers
Jerome, of New York.
Lanyon is well equipped with cre
dentials. He was officially appointed
to represent the office of District At
torney E. A. Younger, of Dutchess
County, and carries a commission as
a keeper in Matteawan asylum. This
is signed by Dr. Raymnd Kieb, sup
erintendent of the asylum, who is now
in Sherbrooke. Lavton took part in
Dr. Jammn's rain which was the
forerunner of the Boer war.
Thaw’s Lawyers Are Alarmed.
Leaking out of the kidnaping re
port caused out of town newspaper
men to scurry for automobiles to fol
low the kidnaping if the daring plna
were attempted.
A new* figures whose presence has
seemingly great significance was on
the scene to-day. He was A. Goeff-
rain, K. C., of Montreal, a representa
tive of Sir Lomar Gouin, governor of
the Province of Quebec, upon whom
Jerome called yesterday. The arrival
nf Mr. Geoffrain alarmed the Thaw
lawyers greatly. They thought he
came here under orders from Sir
Lomar, bearing a message from his
chief.
