Superintendent Slaton Praises Campaign for Schoolbooks Fund
Superintendent of Schools Slaton Wednesday highly praised the move to raise a fund to provide poor children with schoolbooks and clothing.
“ 1 here are many poor children in Atlanta who can not get the benefit of an education. The only way to place helpless children in the public schools is for the public to
subscribe to a fund which will clothe and feed and shelter them and buy their books,’’ he said
“If these children who can not go to school are permitted to frequent the slums and the pitfalls of city life, society must foot the bill by maintaining courthouses and
officers and jails.
“The effort of The Georgian and The Sunday American to secure money for the poor to get an education is direct protection to every life and every dollar’s worth of
property in the State.
“I heartily commend the enterprise of The Georgian and Sunday American in this noble work, and earnestly urge everyone to help the good cause.”
POSTPONED
COLUMBUS, Sept. 3.—The hearing
of Bailiff Robert W. Willis, for kill
ing Luther Hawkins, a Hapeville
youth, whom he was attempting to
arrest Friday afternoon on a war
rant sworn out by Charles Jordan,
a boardinghouse keeper, charging
him with beating a 50-cent board
bill, was continued late yesterday aft
ernoon until September 19, at the
request of the attorneys for the de
fense.
T. Hicks Fort, for the defense,
asked the continuance on the grounds
that Jordan, principal witness for
the defense, was absent; that be
cause of the seriousness of the charge
against the prisoner, the attorneys
had not had time to prepare for the
trial; and that public feeling was
strong against him.
Continuance Opposed.
Solicitor General George C. Palm
er, representing the State, opposed
a continuance on the ground that he
would contend the case was one of
murder and not bailable; that the
father of the slain young man was
present, and being a man of moderate
means, it worked a hardship on him
to attend the trial, and that he, the
Solicitor, would be compelled to go
to other counties to attend court la
ter.
Judge Frank D. Foley, City Re
corder, who presided, after hearing
the statements on both sides, decided
to continue the case. The court
room was crowded with eager spec
tators, who gathered to see what dis
position would be made of the case,
which h is attracted Statewide at
tention. because of the smallness of
the offense for which the man was
killed, accidentally, the defense
claims.
Willis HI at Ease.
Willis appeared in the courtroom ill
at ease. Hr continually worked his
hands, showing every look of a map
in a very nervous state and kept his
eyes glued to the floor, paying but
little attention to those about him.
His face was covered with a shaggy
growth of beard, and he seemed to
have aged considerably since he was
incarcerated Friday night.
The killing of Young Hawkins,
whether accidental or not. Is still
strongly condemned, it being the gen
eral opinion that Willis, as an of
ficer, had no authority for even try
ing to frighten a prisoner wanted for
a misdemeanor offense, by drawing a
revolver.

A Real Opportunity
Now and then comes a real opportunity for doing good—an
opportunity so big and so broad that even the worst of us re
gard it a privilege to join in and help.
Just such an opportunity is offered Atlantans by the plea
from the Associated Charities for a fund to buy schoolbooks
for 250 little children of the poor.
Could there be a stronger appeal than is furnished by these
bright-eyed, ambitious young Anglo-Saxons whose thirst for an
education even extreme poverty threatens to destroy?
Could you invest one dollar, five dollars or ten dollars or
even a few cents better than in a contribution to this fund? Not
if you had waited for years.
The Georgian has headed the list with a check for $50. It
will be only a day or two before the sum needed is raised.
Join quickly with your contribution before you lose your best
chance of the year to show that you are a good citizen and one
worth having in such a city as Atlanta.

Camorrist Defense Studied.
Lawyers employed by the defense
I are making a close study of the pro-
| cedure of the famous Camorrist trials
! at Viterbo. In those cases prisoners
| were acquitted even in instances
i where full proof of guilt was placed
before the court. Provocation and
attacks upon the authenticity of tes
timony played important parts.
The prosecution’s case against
Charlton rests practically upon the
confession and testimony of the de
fendant. No one saw Charlton beat
his wife’s brains out with a hammer
and a statue of “Love” and hurl her
body into Lake Como. The evidence
upon which he was arrested was cir
cumstantial.
Father Comforts Son.
There are reports that the lawyers
for the defense may question the
right of a court or jury to adjudge
a man in Italy upon a confession
made in another country.
Judge Charlton’s presence is cheer
ing up his son wonderfully.

everything will come out all right,” is
the advice given by the parent to his

Dresses Brightly When Gay, Qui
etly When Pensive and Som
berly When Sad.
This thing of why women wear the
things they do, which has been dis
cussed and otherwise for several cen
turies, had some new light shed on
it Wednesday morning, when Mrs.
Den McGrath*—Miss Bertha Yeoman
professionally—arrived in Atlanta
with her husband to open the season
at the Atlanta Theater to-night in
tile musical gambol, “Mary’s Lamb.”
Mrs. McGrath did not denounce the
slit skirt, the X-ray or other favorite
sermon topics; neither did she in
dorse them. They do not concern
her, she says, “because if they are
the fashion, a woman must wear
them. She must keep up with the
fashions whether she wants to or
not.”
“Color is but the emblem of
thought,” Mrs. McGrath said.
“If a woman is downcast and un
happy she will probably wear green,
which to me means sorrow. Red al
ways signifies coquettry, and a wo
man who wears that color is very
apt to be in a flirtatious and vivacious
mood. Blue is the emblem of purity
and innocence, even more so than
white, I think. White always makes
me think of something soft and beau
tiful and lovable. Purple I always
associate with a mind of great bril
liance, and nine women out of ten
who wear purple you will find are
women of unusual intellect and tal
ent. But yellow and brown are the
most beautiful of colors. Whenever
I am particularly happy I always
wear either yellow or brown, though
1 think yellow expresses greater
happiness than brown.
“Though the average woman prob
ably does not know’ It, the color of
her dress determines her mood. As
the mood changes, so does the color
of the dress.
“Take my own ease, for instance.
I have to be in different moods in
different acts of ‘Mary’s Lamb’ and
I can not attain the desired r.tate
of mind unless I wear gowns of a
certain color.
“In the first act I must be a dash
ing adventuress, gay and vivacious,
and 1 wear a gown of a reddish-
violet color, because that color har
monizes with the necessary mood;
the color makes me feel exactly right*
for the part.
"In the second act I am supposed
to meet my old sweetheart and am
very happy. Hence I wear a brown
or a yellow' gown. Brown and yel
low are mv favorite colors, and the
mere wearing of them makes me hap
py •
“In the third act I become intent
on obtaining revenge and if I didn t
wear something with a dash of red in
it I could never approach the proper
state of mind. If 1 wore a dress .»f
another color the act would be ruined,
because 1 could iot put my heart in
m v w’ork. In this act I wear a cerlsa
and black gown, with a slit skirt—a
very slit skirt.”
