0 f Suffragettes
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Dec. 22.—First Lord of
the Admiralty Winston Churchill to
day began an investigation of the
$3,000,000 Portsmouth Navy Yard (Ire
upon the theory that male incendia
ries, hired by the suffragettes, were
responsible. Scotland Yard detec
tives and Government secret service
agents united in efforts in running
down the supposedly guilty persona.

were responsible, this will be the first
time that loss of life has resulted
from the violence of the "arson
snuad." two signal men having been
burned to death.

HILLIARD FACES
WHITE SLAVE
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 22.—Robert
Hilliard, the actor, who is appearing
here in "The Argyle Case,” w m
brought face to face with a charge
of white slavery as a result of his
friendly interest in Mrs. Olga Wil
liams. a wealthy Philadelphia di
vorcee, who traveled South with the
company.
The charge was hfnted at by Judge
M. L. Lazarus, counsel for William
Page, formerly valet for Hilliard.
Page has sued the actor for $5,000
damages, alleging that he was beat n
by the latter. Mrs. Williams was
wanted as a witness at Hilliard’s pre
liminary hearing but she was ab
sent.
Counsel f r the valet tried to bring
out the fact that Mrs. Williams was
in the actor's dressing room Tuesday
night when he assaulted Page, but
members of the company declared
Mrs. Williams was not in the room at
the time. Finally Hilliard rose impa-
• tiently to bis feet.
, "If your honor will permit," he said,
I "I will clear up this matter very soon.
; Mrs. Williams left the jurisdiction of
: this court when she learned that sho
might become involved In this trial. I
advised her to do so. She is a re
spectable woman. She wanted to take
a trip to the South during the cold
weather; my company was going the
same way.
She la properly chaperoned by Miss
Everett. 1 suppose," he added, "white
slave charges will be brought against
me next."
"That is possible," aaid Judge Laza
rus. addressing the court. "Page, the
valet, kept Mr. Hilliard’s accounts.
He can show- that Hilliard paid Mrs.
Williams’ railroad fare and that she
reimbursed him with checks. The
fact that she paid him back with
checks would be considered an eva
sion before the law. I have not taken
any steps toward making white slave
charges against Mr. Hilliard. This
matter rests w'ith the District Attor
ney.”

SEAL WORKERS IN
FINAL SALE SPORT
In order to put Atlanta at the head
of the list for per capita sales of Red
Cross Christmas seais, extraordinary
efforts to arouse interest were made
Monday.
Owing to inability to secure accu
rate daily statements, it has been im
possible to keep the thermometer on
Marietta street entirely correct each
day. Monday morning the marker
stood at 50a),000. but with reports in
from the many sources engaged in
aiding the work, it is probable it
would register considerably higher.
Mrs. Jerome Jones was in charge
Monday, and she has a large and en
thusiastic corps of workers disposing
of stamps on the streets and in of
fice buildings, stores and stations.
Mrs Jones Is the wife of the editor
of The Journal of Labor and she has
wMde acquaintance among labor or
ganizations and is also personally
very popular.
Tuesday sees the conclusion of the
campaign, and extra efforts will be
put forth to boost sales close to the
desired goal. The Bov Scouts will be
in charge and expect to turn out in
I force to se\ a new high record for
j the year. M. R. Duff will be chafr-
; man for the day and will be assisted
by Mrs. John O. Parmele.
JURY OF PHYSICIANS
BRIGHTS DISEASE
"They were not genuine cases of
Bright’s disease.’’ Then how about cases
like this:
R C Pell oor. Broadway and Bat
tery streets. Is manager of one of Han
Francisco’s big corporations. His son
had Bright s disease The father had
two different physicians one of them
an Army Surgeon, on the case Patient
was greatly swollen with dropsy and
the doctors declared the case Bright s
and incurable. He thereupon put the
patient on Fulton's Renal Compound. He
began to mend and In six months was
well The father could hardly credit it
and had two different physicians exam
ine the patient and analyze the sam
ples. Both reported it normal.
Thus a jury of physicians decided that
the patient had Bright’s disease and waa
incurable and another Jury of physicians
later determines his recovery. As to
permanence this was eight years ago
and the patient is now In business in
San Francisco
If you have Bright’s disease do you
not owe It to yourself and family to
try Fulton's Renal Compound before
giving aip? It can be had at Edmond
son Drug Co. w c
