Dinner and Vaudeville Delight
U. S. Prisoners—Three Are
Rewarded With Parole.
In the midst of the clanging of
iron doors, the sharp commands of
the guards and the multitudinous
tasks with which they are confront
ed, the sorrows of Friday are for
gotten by the convicts of the Atlanta
Federal prison in the thought of ‘he
joys of Thursday, the greatest day
they have known since their impris
onment. The humdrum, oppressive
existence of the prison has been up
lifted by the Christmas spirit.
The 900 convicts had a reaf Christ
mas celebration. For years Warden
Moyer has exerted evers effort to
make Christmas the gala day..of the
prison year, and especial prepara
tions were made that the men might
know' something of the joys of Yule-
tide. The celebration continued from
9:30 in the mtyning until late in the
afternoon, and the spirit, of the day
took wrinkles from the 900 faces and
loads of sorrow from the 900 hearts,
and made them forget they were con
victs and remember only that it was
Christmas Day.
During the morning talent select
ed from the convict rolls gave a
vaudeville -performance that was de
cidedly clever, under the direction of
Frederick Clayton, a prisoner. The
show' opened with a minstrel first
part, in w hich all the characters were
convicts. Half a dozen soloists en
livened the show, assisted by an en
semble >f voices Charles Berger
gave a Hebrew monologue. Frederick
Clayton drew some clever cartoons
and Mitchell Sampson was excellent
in songs and dances. Howard Hobos
delighted the music lovers with his
cornet solo, the Toreador song from
“Carmen." The show closed with a
sketch billed as "a routin’, tootin’,
shoutin’" farce in one act and ‘wo
scenes, entitled “In the Days of ’49,"
a skirt based on the adventures of a
stranded actor in the Far West.
During the afternoon an elaborate
feast was served, the menu including
roast turkey, dressing and gravy,
mashed potatoes and the other good
things that grace a Christmas boar 1.
Three men were paroted during the
day-^t wo'short-term men and a lifer.
They w-ere told of their freedom dur-*
ing the performance in the morning,
and left the hall forever, with the
cheers of their fellow-prisoners ring
ing in their ears.

GEORGIA
POLITICS
JAMtS B.NEVTN
Recent agitation of a movement in
Congress looking to the establishing
of a new Federal judgeship in Geor
gia, which Is a serious proposition,
lias renewed ta:k of Congressman
Hardwick's fitness and availability for
the office. If it is created.
Discussing the proposed new judge-
ship, The Augusta Chronicle outlines
its purposes thus:
The bill calls for a floating
Federal judge in Georgia, who
shall reside in Savannah. It was
introduced in rue House Friday
by Representative Edwards. The
measure embodies the ideas of the
Savannah committee which set
forth the draft and arguments
for it following a visit to Hie
Capital last simmer, Judge Sam
uel B. Adams was chairman o!
the committee, which consisted
of leading members of the Savan
nah bar.
The bill has not been agreed
upon by the members of the
Georgia delegation. Some want
to divide the district, others
seem more or less apathetic and
some reserve their opinion. Ac
tion seems hardly likely until the
disposition of the Speer Investi
gation.
It Is argued by Savannah in
terests that i he Georgia judges
have more than they can handle,
and that Savannah In particular
needs more attention on account
of its admiralty business.
The bill provides that the third
Judge shall hold the district
courts in the Eastern Division of
the Southern District, but that in
addition he may be assigned to
preside in any other division in
either district in Georgia when
ever the public interests may re
quire.
It is very well known that Presi
dent W life on feels a deep interest in
Mr. Hardwick, the Congressman from
the Tenth District, and has urged him
not to retire from the House a.t the
end of his present term, as it has
been suggested he me'
Mr. Hardwick has never said defi
nitely that he will retire from Con
gress at the expiration of his mc.-.ent
term of service, but it is well known
that he desires to -do that. If he may
in justice to his constituents. He
lias served in Congress about' twelve
years, at a genuine financial sacrifice
—as most Congressmen do. as a mat
ter of fact. Hardwick knows he can
double bis income, or more, practicing
law, and that fa the moving circum
stance behind his proposed with*
drawal.
President Wilson, however, will
name Mr. Hardwick to practically
any post he might ask, and it ha«
been stated, with some degree of au
thority, that the Congressman from
the Tenth would like to be a Federal
judge.
It is an open secret in Washing
ton that Mr Hardwick maj have
Judge Speer's position, when that
Judge retires, and now it fis being ru
mored that he may have the proposed
new judgeship, if it is created and lie
w ishes it.
.Mr. Hardwick is an able lawyer and
i? fiyiy equal to the assignment, if
the President should make if.
Congratulations and very best
wishes will be extended from hun
dreds of Georgians in public life to
Jesse G. Perry, the Governor’s pri
vate secretary, now that he has join
ed the ranks of the Benedicts.
Perry Is genuinely popular—is real
ly a "good fellow," and numbers his
friends Jlist inside the limit of his
acquaintance.
Everybody will wish .both Mr. and
Mrs. Perry a-large measure of happi
ness all through life.
Old Clayt Robson, of Milledgeville,
who knows more folks in Georgia
than most an.vbbdy, has temporarily
quit his usual place of abode in At
lanta, and has forsaken the w’ilds of
the Kimball House for "fhe old forks
at home" during the holidays.
Clayt Robson is an institution
around and about Atlanta, and is
never happier than when playing
Santa Claus to somebody.
This year he has played the part of
the whiskered and merry old saint to
something like five or six score of
people—and when he gets through
with the Milledgeville contingent he
will have swelled the total several
score more.
Governor Slaton wift name a judg ■
ot the Court of Appeals from South
Georgia, to succeed Judge Robert Pot
tle, who hails from that section.
Judge Pottle was appointed to tlv>
bench by Governor Slaton during the
seventy-five days * t rn» that Slaton
served as Acting Governor in succes
sion to Governor Hoke Smith, and tbs
appointment was .made by the then
executive upon the theory that this
position belongs to South Georgia, as
a matter of fairnerss in the distribu
tion of judeal appontments.
Judges Russell and Roan hail from
the upper end of the State, and the
Governor t links il Nothing but right
that the other judgeship, at least,
should go to the lower end.
It was rumored that Judge Samiivl
Bennett, of Albany, was to succeed
Judge Pottle, and he was heavily u-
dorsed to the Govern r, but Judge
Bennett has announced that he wi 1
not accept the appointment, even il
it were tendered, and so that removes
him from the list of possibilities.
The Governor has not made up hi 5
mind as to Judge Pottle? successor,
and will not give the matter particu
larly seriops thought until after lt’«
resignation is in hand.
! Tailor Charges Theft of Pocket-
book With $40—Slapped on
Accusing One of Party.
Three women instead of two will
face the Recorder Friday afternoon
in the case of VV. F. Williams, a tailor,
who charges the robbery of his poek-
etbook containing $40 to the trio in
the course of an extensive and some
what adventurous motor car drive
Christmas afternoon
Two of the women, Mrs. May Hogan
and Mrs Carrie Clarke, of No. 402
Whitehall street, were arrested at the
termination of the drive, when Wi!-'
Hams ordered the chauffeur to hold
the car while he telephoned to head
quarters, he having missed his poek-
etbook on the return drive.
The third woman, w'it.h whom Wil
liams was walking when the other
two, in the machine, stopped and in
vited them to Join the party, left the
car and disappeared while Williams
was telephoning the police.
Early Friday morning the missing
member of the trio was arrested. She
was Mm J. C. Metcalf, of No. 406
Whitehall street The three were re
leased under a bond of $100 each, to
appear <it the trial Friday afternoon.
Williams told the police Thursday
afternoon that the two women in the
car appeared to be friends or the
woman he was walking with, but that
he never had seen them before. The
drive itself was a pleasahl affair,
Williams said, until, on the wav back
io Uio city, he missed his wallet and
the $40 it contained.
Williams was uncertain which one
of his hosts to accuse, but finally de
luded on Mrs. Clarke, who promptly
slapped him.
This method of reciprocity aroused
Williams anger, and as soon as the
car reached the business district of
ihe city he got out and telephoned
the police.
Charges of disorderly conduct were
made against the two women who re
mained to be arrested. One of them
