TITF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. LOT CHOSEN FOR PAVLOWA HISSED OFF METROPOLITAN STAGE PROTESTED City Officials Against West Peach tree Site—Chief Puts Ques tion Up to Council. Since the assurance that Council w !I provide for a new fire station for the Ansley Park and Brookwood sec- •10ns. Councilman-elect Frank H. Reynolds and Alderman-elect John S. owens have joined in a plan to pro test apainst the locatiSn for the sta tion that has already been selected in he purchase of a lot. The lot is on West Peachtree street i between Fourteenth and Fifteenth! streets. f . There are no houses to speak of west of this location and in every other direction there are steep hills to be climbed.” s^id Mr. Reynolds. “There have been complaints from residents all over that section against the location. 1 don’t see why it ever was selected. A location that appeals to me is the abandoned tennis courts which • ip Fledmont Driving Club built in j Piedmont Park opposite the junction of Piedmont avenue and South Prado. 1 The Park Board was strenuously op posed to the location of a school in ie park, and T think the members were right. But a bungalow fire 1 engine house would be attractive to | look at and would take up very little space. We could sell the West Peach- ; tree lot and build the station with * few thousand dollars extra. With an automobile engine the whole North Side could be easily cov ered. The location is high and there are good streets leading in every di- , rection.” Fire Chief W. R. Cummings said Monday that if Council wanted a new location it would have to select the lot and buy it. He said he spent two years trying to do this, and the West Peachtree lot was the result of his best efforts. People want fire engine houses.” he said, ‘‘but they want them next to somebody else’s house.” Woman Suffrage Wins in Debate of Jewish Alliance It didn’t take the judges long to de cide in favor of woman suffrage in .he prize debate given Sunday night by the Jewish Educational Alliance, which was attended by more than 500 persons.

FUTILE IIIT IS SILL Formal Resignation To Be Handed In Soon by Appeals Judge. Successor Undetermined. Judge Robert Pottle, of the State Court of Appeals, will retire from the bench soon to resume the practice of law in Albany. His resignation has not been ten dered to the Governor, as he has not yet determined just when he will step out. but it likely will be ten dered within the month. The Governor has not made up his mind as to Judge Pottle's successor, having no knowledge officially of the judge's proposed retirement. “When I get Judge Pottles resig- I nation I will take up the matter of ; his successor. In the meantime all I rumors or statements as to what l I shall do are speculative, and will he gratuitously made. I have no definite ,idea who Judge Pottle's successor will be!” Judge Pottle’s resignation has been anticipated in official circles for sev eral months. The judge said he had intended resigning at the time Judge Hill was named judge of the Supe rior Court in Fulton, but that he decided to postpone his retirement a few months in order that the court might be reorganized without embar rassment after Judge Hill left the bench. Governor Slaton is understood to have urged Judge Pottle to withhold his resignation at the time Judge Hill retired, and to have urged further that Judge Pottle serve out his term. The Governor had hoped that Judge Pottle would let the matter take that direction, but the judge has decided to resign. "The one compelling circumstance behind my resignation,” said Judge Pottle to-day. "is the smallness of the salary. The work is most exact ing. Every day I remain on the ap peals bench means a great financial, sacrifice to me. I can not afford it. in justice to myself and those depend ent upon me." Judge Pottle was elected to a full term last fall, after a spectacular pri mary race in which he and Judge Broyles, of Atlanta, were tied in the county unit votes. His successor will he appointed to serve only until a new judge may be duly elected next year. This means that the Gover nor’s appointee will have only some ten months to serve.

She was not in dancing cos tume, but in a splendid court dress and was accompanied by many of the company. Finally one of the managers ex plained to Pavlowa that all the eager people were waiting to see her dance, Pavlowa., who had been sitting quietly and demurely, a sweet smile on her face and seemingly taking an intelligent interest in being bored, at once changed. Her eyes bla'zing fiercely at her interrogator, she rose and said haughtily: “L dance on the stage of the Metro politan Opera House? I have danced for charity all afternoon, and now they expect me to dance here. Mon Dieu! do they think I am a cabaret dancer?” and with these parting re marks she left, followed by her suite. The crowd of men, women and girls began to hiss and continued until she had disappeared from sight. Once Pavlowa turned back, and if looks could have injured, some would, have suffered.
