ers, Lacking Only $38,547
Now, Hope to Cut “Deficit”
to Thirty Thousand.
$38,547.50 of the Oglethorpe
r-of-a-mlUion fund remained
scribed at the noonday luncheon
i n at the Piedmont Hotel, and
the slogan for the last day’s work
was:
'"ut it to $30,000 by noon Satur-
dav and then let the heavyweights
clean it up!”
That was plain talking, and it
sounded good to the hard-working
numbers of the committee who had
done what Ivan E. Allen, the working,
chairman, said was the greatest piece
of \ rk of its kind the city ever had
seen.
Committees Saving Themselves.
We’ll get the difference between
the i resent 'deficit' and $30,000,” the
members insisted, “and then we’ll help
put over the $30,000 to-morrow.”
The subscriptions Friday amounted
to $2,091, and it was evident that
many of the committees were saving
themselves for the big effort Satur
day.
Hut everybody felt that Oglethorpe
would win—everybody seemed to be
taking that for granted.

Nation-Wide Break Threatened!
‘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-1
sional Union for Woman Suffrage,
which is headed by Miss Paul and
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 fn 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.
Hair Must Match
Gown, Even if It’s

L»t your hair match your gown,
which is different from matching
the gown to your hair.
F’rinstsnce, purple gown, purple
hair; green gown, wall, get a gown
of that color if your looks natur

It’s from Paris, but evon th#re
it’s a bit extrema.
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,

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 Moees
Weight, with directions and modifi
cations, fixing the limits within
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 the purposes of interlocu
tory hearings, but questions of fact
must not be adjudicated by judges
finally in such proceedings.
The court also held that for A?
,purposes of injunction nuisances
must be located with a reasonable de
gree of certainty, and that part o?
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 Watkins merely from “selling
liquor” in any circumstances, hut
leaves the matter of determining
whether he is or'has been selling is
a question of fact for jury settle
ment.

It. is the first time since prohibition

SHARKS DIES REMAIN 10 SET
11 TO CELL SEAL RECORD
Telegrapher Tries Fraud to Meet Workers Face Hard Task and Are
Debts and Is Trapped at Pleading for Aid of Every
Bank Window. [ Loyal Atlantan.
Declaring that he had been driven
to desperation by the constant hound
ing of Joan sharks and the Approach
of Christmas, S R. Dickie, a young
telegraph operator, living at No. 131
South Pryor street, was hound over
under $500 bond Friday by Recorder
Broyles on charges of forgery and
cheating and swindling.
“I had to have money to keep my
creditors from running garnishments
on my salary,” said Dickie. “I have
fairly been haunted by loan sharks
who.each day 7 threatened to get my
job. With Christmas so near, I had
to have the money. I 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
$so.”
Officials of the Third National, be
coming suspicious, telegraphed 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. Ah
soon as he 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 B'ate in the sale of Red Cross
Christinas seals this year, it is neces
sary to do some extraordinary work
in the four remaining dava for the
canvass, including Friday,” said a
member of the Anti-Tuberculosis As
sociation.
Thursday's sales will reach about
$200, it is believed, 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 giv en able assistance by the
Third Ward Civic Club, under Mrs.
John Just is, president, assisted by
Mrs. Dr. Florence Truax, one of the
fiercest workers in that organization.
Mrs. W. W. Crocker sold $36 worth
of seals around the Candler Hulki
ng Miss Louise < ’oiw n also did ex
cellent work for the day. She was
among thf 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
Mr: 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 n
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 J912. also is
selling this year.
