This action is said to be virtually a declaration of war between the na tional association and the Congres 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 b3 r Miss Paul a9 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.

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 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 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 "selli ig 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.
