3 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.

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.

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.
