ALL-STARS ARE VICTORS OVER SOLDIERS, 23-7
Challenged on ‘Votes’ as He Con
cludes Speech—Secretary
Retires Hurriedly.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The
first militant suffragist outbrean
against an official of the Ameri
can Government was staged to
day when Secretary of State
Bryan was challenged at the con
vention of the National Popular
Government League with the cry,
“How about justice for wo
men ? ’ ’
The Secretary had just concluded a
fervent address on behalf of popular
n/-\ declaring that no government is
strong except in proportion as it rep
resents the will of all its people. A
U’., slender woman arose in a seat
near the front of the dark hall where
the meeting is being held, and called
out, "How about women, Mr. Bryan?
Are not women people?”
The suffragist champion was Miss
Helen Todd, a former Illinois State
Factory Inspector and now head of
he California Civic League for Wom
en. Her act “floored” the Secretary
for a moment.
A dozen other women, with angry
- gestures, chimed in:
Yes, how about women, Mr. Sec
retary?”
Leaves by Side Door.
Mr Bryan turned to the audience
and. struggling to control his voice,
said:
Madame, I have no doubt that in
a i your work you have followed youi
'0»s< ience aDd your judgment. In my
work 1 have tried to follow mine.”
With that he left the platform.
Bryan left the. hall by a side en
trance, while a score of suffragists
began a buzz of excited comment
" nirh port^^ued ill for every speaker
who should follow.
Senator Owen, in the chair, ignored
( i e outburst and called upon Senator
Lane, of Oregon, to take up the next
ubject on the program.
Nine new laws to establish “the
sovereign right of the people to rule
themselves” were demanded by Sena-
t r Owen in his speech. He enumer-
a ‘ed them in his address at the open
ing of the first annual conference of
.’he organization, as follows:
Self Rule Remedy.
Tht Gateway amendment, by
which the people may more eas-
b' amend the Federal Constitu-
M tion.
f The initiative and referendum
in easily workable form.
The recall by which to dismiss
public officials who are unfit.
The commission form of gov
ernment for cities, with the ini-
ialive, referendum and recall.
The short ballot.
The mandatory direct primary.
A drastic, workable, thorough
going corrupt practices act.
The nomination and election of
President and Vice President of
the United States by direct vote
°t the people of the States, giv
ing each State iis proportionate
electoral vote.
The democratization of our in
stitutions from top to bottom,
1 -Trough these agencies, and the
prevention of the putting of “jok-
9r *" ti in popular government bills
h y “organized plutocracy.”

Eggs Tumbling as
Boycott Goes On
CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—Chicago led the
country to-day in the low price of
eggs. The wholesale market opened
at 26c for the first-class storage eggs
with the retail price close to 32c. The
boycott is still ou.
When it comes to a “friend at
court” in the matter of designating
regional banks, Atlanta can count
with a very gratifying ce^ainty on
no less a person than Secretary W
G. Me Ado o as being favorable to the
location of one of the great Govern
ment banks here.
Robert F. Maddox, vice president of
the American National Bank, brought
that news back from the East with
him when he returned Saturday.
“I think, on the whole, that I may
say my little excursion was a suc
cess,” Mr. Maddox said. “It was taken,
of course, in behalf of Atlanta’s hope
to be awarded one of the regional
banks under the pending currency
bill.
'T went pretty thoroughly into af
fairs In Washington, and I want to
say right here that our two Senators,
Smith and Bacon, have done wonders
for Atlanta in the way of creating a
sentiment favorable to locating one
of the banks here. If we get it, too
much credit can not be given to those
men.”
Takes no Credit Himself.
As to Mr. Maddox’s own part, it
really was a pity that a third person
couldn’t have had the telling of it,
because Mr. Maddox absolutely de
clined to put in any bid for fame.
“All I did was to carry on an arrav
of facts and figures,” said Mr. Mad
dox, “in an effort to help the good
work along by showing how excel
lently fitted Atlanta was to receive
and support a regional bank.”
But it had been said by others that
| when Mr. Maddox departed on his ex
I cursion he was loaded for big game—
and the report trickled back from
Washington that he was not sparing
the ammunition.
He laughed a little when the repor*
was mentioned.
“Oh, never mind about that,” he
parried, “here's something worth
while, now.
Board’s Membership Uncertain.
“After the bill is passed—and I
don’t believe that will be until about
the middle of January—President
Wilson will appoint a national re
serve board, and that body will fix the
points at which the banks will be
located. Nobody knows now who will
be on that board, so no work can be
done specifically as yet.
“But it is certain that Secretary
McAdoo will be a member. And Sec
retary McAdoo has told Senator
Smith that he regards Atlanta as an
excellent place 'for one of the banks—
that he believes a bank ought to be
located here, in fact
“That’s a big point, let me tell you;
but Senator Smith was so confident
of the Secretary’s attitude that he
gave me permission to quote him con
cerning what Mr. McAdoo had told
him.”
As to banking and financial condi
tions in New York, Mr. Maddox said
there was a big demand for money,
with every prospect that the high in
terest rates would be maintained in-
definitelv.
Country Marking Time.
“The whole country is sort of mark
ing time, in a business way,” Mr.
Maddox said. “No doubt about it,
this radical legislation is having its
effect, no matter how much good we
may expect ultimotely to receive from
it. Personally, however, I am much
pleased and encouraged by the atti
tude of President Wilson.
• I heard the President’s speech to
Congress, and it was firmly Impressed
on me tifat he was in favor of a let
up in radical legislation. The coun
try has been well stirred up, and the
agitation is bound to continue until
ftpr the currency bill Is passed and
the wh(£t matter settled.”
Seventy-five Persons
Perish in Floods
In State of Texas
: |jj LATEST NEWS
DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec. 6.—Reports
of additional deaths in the flooded re
gion of Central Texas co-dav brought
the total to 76, Ten persons to-day

Answering Sick Call, Speeding
Car Narrowly Misses Pedes-
trian—Driver Bruised.
To avoid running down a woman
who had stepped directly in front of
his machine, Claude M. McAfee Sat
urday afternoon ran the big Patter
son ambulance straight into a drug
store, risking his own life and part
ly wrecking the car.
The ambulance was answering a
sick call and speeding up DeKalb
avenue. As it neared Mason avenue
a woman stepped from a street car
and out directly in front of the am
bulance. An accident seemed un
avoidable, but McAfee swung his big
machine over the sidewalk.
McAfee put on the brakes all the
way, but the car crashed Into the
Connell Pharmacy at the corner,
smashing the front of the machine.
The driver managed to keep in his
machine and escaped with a few
bruises.
The woman who caused the
trouble disappeared in the excite
ment.
Poultry Show Ends
In Chorus of Lusty
Crows from Exhibits
When the last spectator leaves the
Auditorium Saturday night and the
sleepy birds are being taken away to
their accustomed perches or being
prepared for shipment to the Bir
mingham show, the best exhibition of
the kind ever seen in Atlanta will be
over. The poultry shov. has been an
immense success, except in a mone
tary way.
"As to the financial disappoint
ment,” said J. M. Poole, secretary of
the Southern International Poultry
Association, "that isn’t going to break
our hearts. We expect to be here just
as strong next year, with a standard
exhibition.”
In addition to birds, however, there
is likely to be a band next year.
“It seems Atlantans will not pat
ronize a proposition that savors of a
sporting contest—that is, not for it
self. High-class birds don’t seem to
attract them as much as a band. So
we may add a band to the program.”
There was a pretty good crowd
Friday, however.
