TTTF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. UTTER STRIFE rs, Lacking Only $38,547 Nation-Wide Break Threatened by Removal of Officer Who Refused Accounting. ow, Hope to Cut “Deficit” to .Thirty Thousand. ,-t $38,547.50 of the Oglethorpe • r-of-a-million fund remained u r - i scribed at the noonday luncheon hr!' • at the Piedmont Hotel, and th- slogan for the last day’s work was: nt it to $30,000 by noon Satur day and then let the heavyweights clear- it up!” That was plain talking, and It pounded good to the hard-working members of the committee who had done what Ivan E. Allen, the working chairman, said was the greatest piece of w.-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 $2,1*91, 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. How Committees Reported. Pr W. 8. Owens’ Commitee: H. M. Pixson. Athens, $100: H. H. Hightower, $50: L.

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- n 1 committee of the national associa tion. This action is said to be virtually q declaration of war between the* na tional association and the Congres sional Union for Woman Suffrage, which is headed by Miss Paul aud 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 dp- 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.

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 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 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 vi gor®’ may be permanently enjoined as nuisances onl; after a jury hear ing. Temporary injunctions may be 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 he 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 Watkins merely from “selllig liquor" in any circumstances, but leaves the matter of determining whether he is or has been selling as a question of fact for jury settle ment.
