PAY NO 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 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 were reported drowned at Hearne, eight at Bryan and six at High Bank.

Many farmers who sent members of their families to places of safety, but refused to leave their live stock to the mercy of the rising waters, have not been heard from for several days. The motor boat crews during the night picked up more than 150 per sons who had been marooned. Most of them were suffering from hunger and exposure. Scores of persons in a doben com munities are still in peril, clinging to roofs of houses and tree tops. Res cuers were powerless to aid them, be cause trains could not carry consign ments of boats to all the inundated towns. Among the dead reported was Hen ry Martin, vice president and general manager of the International and Great Northern Railroad, who was drowned attempting to rescue a ma rooned family at Valley Junction. His body was not recovered. Guatemalan Army Head, Former Dixie Journalist, in City Colonel J.

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.
