BIG SPURT SUFFRAGISTS IS
BITTER STRIFE
Workers, Lacking Only $38,547 Nation-Wide Break Threatened
Now, Hope to Cut “Deficit”
to Thirty Thousand.
Just $38,547.50 of the Oglethorpe
quarter-of-a-million fund remained
unsubscribed at the noonday luncheon
Friday at the Piedmont Hotel, and
the slogan for the last day’s work
was:
“Out it to $30,000 by noon Satur-
day and then let the heavyweights
clean it up!”
That was plain talking, and It
sounded good to the hard-working
members of the committee who had
done what Ivan E. Allen, the working
chairman, said was the greatest piece
«>f work of its kind the city ever had
seen.
Committees Saving Themselves.
"\\ e’ll get the difference between
the present ‘deficit’ and $30,000," the
members insisted, "and then we’ll help
put over the $30,000 to-morrow.”
The subscriptions Friday amounted
to $2,991, and it was evident that
many of the committees were saving
themselves for the big effort Satur
day.
But everybody felt that Oglethorpe
would win—everybody seemed to be
taking that for granted.

by Removal of Officer Who
Refused Accounting.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—A nation
wide break in the ranks of suffragists
is threatened to-day as the result o*
the action of officers of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
tion in ousting Miss Alice Paul from
the chairmanship of the Congression-
a 1 committee of the national associa
tion.
This action is said to be virtually a
declaration of war between the na
tional association and the Congres
sional Union fpr Woman Suffrage,
which is headed by Miss Paul an«l
which raised $25,000 last year to car
ry on lobby work in Washington for
the national association.
Officers of the national association
demanded that the money raised by
Miss Paul as head of the Congression
al Union be accounted for to the
treasurer of the national association.
Miss Paul’s refusal caused the nation
al officers to remove her as chairman
of the national association’s Congres
sional committee.
As a result of the internal strife.
Miss Paul collapsed from nervous
breakdown here Tuesday while de
livering a suffrage speech, and is now
confined to her home in Morristown.
N. J. Her removal from office while
too ill to journey to New York City
to defend herself has created indigna
tion in the ranks of the Congression
al Union.
Train Hits Cyclists;
IDead, Other Dying
ELBERTON, Dec. 19.—Forrest
Moss, of Wisconsin, was killed by a
Seaboard freight train at a crossing
rear here to-day. and Claude Farrow’,
of Westminster, S. C., lost both legs
below the knees in the same accident
and will die. Both were on one bi
cycle.
Moss’ head was severed from his
body and he was norribly mangled.
Hair Must Match
Gown, Even if It's
Purple or Green
Let your hair match your gown,
which is different from matching
the govvn to your hair.
F’rinstance, purple gown, purple
hair; green gown, well, get a gown
of that color if your locks natur
ally grow that way.
It’s from Paris, but even there
it’s a bit extreme.
Moreover, it’s not necessary to
dye the hair every time the gown
is changed.
Wigs are available. So are pow
ders of all colors of the spectrum.
Complexion powders, red, green,
etc., go with the color scheme.

Dead of Football
Hurt After 12 Years
TO ENJOIN'TIGER'
The Supreme Court Friday in the
case of Watkins against Wilkerson,
from the Superior Court of Floyd, af
firmed the ruling of Judge Moses
■ Wright, with directions and modifi
cations, fixing the limits *with*n
which Superior Courts may enjoin
"blind tigers" as nuisances.
The ruling brings the order of in
junction within the rule established
by the Court in the Cassidy case from
Macon, which is that these “blind ti
gers" may be permanently enjoined
as nuisances onl. after a jury hear
ing. Temporary injunctions may bo
granted for ihe purposes of interlocu
tory hearings, but questions of fact
must not be adjudicated by judged
finally in such proceedings.
The court also held that for h£
purposes of injunction nuisances
must be located with a reasonable de
gree of certainty, and that part of
Judge Wright’s injunction which
sought to restrain Watkins from op
erating in the place complained of
"and elsewhere’’ is modified by strik
ing the word "elsewhere.” As the o**-
der stands of permanent record, it re
strains YVatkins merely from "sellhig
liquor" in any circumstances, but
leaves the matter of determining
whether he is or has been selling is
a question of fact for jury settle
ment.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 19.—Hal C

tion act.

during the day on every place in the
city.
Jt is the first time since prohibition

Declaring that he had been driven
to desperation by the constant hound- i
ing of loan sharks and the approach
of Christmas, S. B. Dickie, a young
telegraph operator, living at No. 131
South Pryor street, was bound over j
under $500 bond Friday by Recorder
Broyles on charges of forgery and
cheating and swindling.
“I had to have money to keep my j
creditors from running garnishments
on my salary,” said Dickie. "I have
fairly been haunted by loan sharks
who each day threatened to get my
job. With Christmas so near. I had
to have the money. 1 am guilty.”
Dickie was arrested in the Third
National Bank after he had walked
into a cleverly arranged trap set by
bank officials.
Sends Fraudulent Telegram.
Thursday morning the bank re
ceived a telegram, purporting to come
from the First National Bank of Bir
mingham, which read:
"Honor draft of R. A. Carter for
$80.”
Officials of the Third National, be
coming suspicious, telegrapned the
Birmingham bank for verification of
the order, and were informed by that
institution that the telegram was a
fraud.
Harry Scott, of the Pinkerton force,
was notified, and, with two city de
tectives, waited in the lobby of the
Third National for Carter.
Walks Into Trap.
Shortly after noon Dickie appeared
at the cashier’s window and pre
sented a. telegram, which was ad
dressed to R. A. Carter, and reading:
"Have wired Third National Bank
to honor your draft " The dispatch
was signed by the Birmingham bank.
The three sleuths who were wait
ing were signaled by the cashier, and
they formed in line behind Dickie. As
soon as lie had received the $80 he
was taken into custody.
So quietly was the arrest made that
other patrons of the bank were not
aware of the trouble.
"If Atlanta is to establish a record
for the State in the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals this year, it Is neces
sary to do^ some extraordinary work
in the four remaining days for the
canvass, including Friday,” said a
member of the Anti-Tuberculosis As
sociation.
Thursday's sales will reach about
$200, It is belie'ed, when the returns
are all in. Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin,
president of the Federation of Wom
en’s Club was in charge for the day.
She was given able assistance by the
Third Ward Civic (^lub, under Mrs
John Just is. president, assisted by
Mrs. Dr. Florence Truax, one of the
hardest workers in that organization.
Mrs. Y\\ YY'. Crocker sold $36* worth
of seals around the Candler Build
ing. Miss Louise Cohen also did ex
cellent work for the day. She was
among the first to report in the
morning and the last to close for the
day. She sold $16.35 worth in and
around the Piedmont. Mrs. Fred G.
Hodgson turned in $19.06 for her day’s
work; Mrs. John R. Scott, $14.15, and
Mrs F. M. Robinson, $10.30.
Fine results are expected Friday
as Mrs. A. P. Coles, president of the
Women’s Club, is In charge, and she
has many members enlisted under her
and in addition some 30 popular
young women. Included in these is
Miss Annie Lou Jenkins, who set a
record for the United States for In
dividual sales for one day last year
Miss Edna Walraven. who came sec
ond in this contest in 1912, also is
selling this year. *
