Arrogant King Bill, Thoroughly
Trounced by ‘Militants,” Gives
Way to Queen Lucy.
. ——————
This is the story of the rise—with
no likelihood of a fall-——of the FFeminist
Movement in Monkeyville: an unbias
ed account of the rebellion which
L.ucy, a Mandrill of African extrac
tion and Amazonian habits, led
against Bill, a Bengalese ape who has
been King of the Monkey House at
Grant Park for many moons.
As is always the case when feminin
{ty goes to war in earnest with mas
culinity—femininity won. King Bil],
a Simian Herod, was deposed und
Lucy enthroned as Queen of the Mon
key House.
Mutterings of discontent over King
Bill's petty tyrannies—such as refus
ing to allow the female monkeys to
hang by their tails from the roof and
f.cing the young monkevwe to scratch
their own backs-—ha® oeen pretty
general = vigCis,vie for some time,
wuoy Leader of Militants,
Lucy, t : recognized and militant
leader of the oppressed, had called
frequent Meetings of protest, whers
much chattering was done, but little
else, because, being feminine, they did
not realize their strength. King Bill
viewed th-se meetings with scorn, and
only laughed harshly wnen Lucy and
her cohorts asked for better govern
ment.
An accident that temporarilv kept
Lucy out of the social life of Monkey
ville bre-ght her to lier senses and
awakened her to a reallzation of her

strength, During the recent cold snap
one of her feet was frozen, and Keeper
Edward Boyd o) ‘rated on her and
then put her in solitary confinemenr,
Alone, Lucy bega: to think, ani
wien a female of the upecies begins
to think, it's a sign something is 2o
ing to happen. Lucy came to the
conclusion that as a king, Bill was a
good subject, and that he had noth
ing on her, anyway you lcoked at it
Pride Goes Before the Fall.
When Keeper Boyd put Lucy back
in the monkey house she set all the
other female monkeys t thinking.
It was the beginning of the end.
King Bill wasn’t a weather prophet
and couldn't read the storm signals,
so he stalked arrogantly among his
subjects, tyrannical and overbearing.
A few days ago, while parading ma
jectically back and forth, he steppad
on Laucy’s sore toe. She promptly
kicked him in the face with her foor.
Then she grabbe : him by the tal
and slammed him against the side ot
the house, and while he gasped for
breath she danced tle tango up anl
down h'« prostrate form.” Each of the
other female monkeys, lnspired by
her success, promptly stepped in the
face of a male monkey—and the vi -
tory was won! The feminist move
ment had trium- hed!
Ex. Kin - Bill, shorn of his glory
and his power, is a pathetic object.
He slinks about the monkey house,
the butt of jib « and jeers. Queen
Lucy harasses him from morn ill
nighmt; if some kind person gives
Bill a banana, the Queen takes it
away from him and throws him the
skin.
The King is dead! Long live the
Queen!

ATLANTA
Officers Say Regiment Is Likely
to Return to Envied Post Here.
Small Guard Left.
The movement of the main body of
the Seventeenth Infantry, which has
been ordered to the Mexican border
for patrol duty, began Thursday
morning at 10 o'clock, when the first
ot three special trains that will carry
the troops from Atlanta to 'Bagle
Pass, Texas, steamed out of the bar
racks vard at Fort McPherson for
the Southwest. Two other trains left
later, each carrying a batallion of en
listed men and its apportionment of
officers. &g
The regimental equipment, includ
ing the_ hospital supplies, the wagons,
stock, eamping equipment and com-
missary and quartermaster's supplies,
was sent ahead of the regiment in a
special train that left Atlanta on the
Southern Wednesday afternoon at o
o'clock.
Equipment Sent Ahead.
The equipment train carried 81 en
listed men and three officers, and was
under the command of Captain C. B.
Stone, Jr. These soldiers comprised
the machine gun platoon, the regi
mental detachment, teamsters and
stable men, and the quartermaster’s
detachment of 23 mer,
On the first of the three trains that
left for the bhorder Thursday were
236 enlisted men and 11 officers of the
First Batallion, under the command
of Major Robert Alexander. The train
due to leave at 11 o'clock will be in
charge of Major B, F. Hardaway, and
will carry 276 men and 14 officers,
of the Second Batallion.
The last train is scheduled to leave
the post at 2 o'clock Thursday after
noon, and will be in charge of Lieu
tenant Colonel Thomas W. Griffiths,
the new commander of the regiment.
Aboard it will be 244 enlisted men
and 14 officers, among them Major
George W. Martin, who has been in
command of the regiment since the
retirement of Colonel J. T. Van Ors
dale, and who will be second in com
mand at the border.
Railroads Caused Delay.
The first and second trains will be
routed over the Southern for New
Orleans, via Birmingham, and from
New Orleans will be sent over the
Southern Pacific to Eagle Pass. The
third train will go through Montgom
ery to New Orleans and thence aver
the same route as the two preced-‘
ing it,
Fort McPherson has been alive with
the hustle and bustle of preparation
gince the official marching orders were
received a week ago to-day. For two
or three days, however, the regiment
has had its equipment in such nhlpel
that it could have left at a moment's
notice, and most of the delay has
been on account of the inability of the
railroads to have the necessary trains
ready.
The “town” of Fort McPherson
turned out en masse to see the soi
diers leave Thursday, and several
hundred people went out from Atlan
ta for a last look at the men who have
been familiar sights on the streets of
the city for the last eight years,

o EAuIER
[HAN HE
[HOUGHT
William J. “urns Thursday
scoffed at the idea that Jim Con
ley's lawyer or anyone else
could® prevent him from seeing
the negro when he decides the
time has come to interview th}s
self-confessed accessory of l.eo
M. Frank in the slaying of Mary
Phagan. |
“Conley has been tried, convicted
and sentenced,” ' said Burns. “The
idea that anyvone can keep from see
ing him is absurd. 1 am going to
see Conley. The time has not:arrived
vet when the best results would be
obtained in any talk with him, but
when it does neither Mr. Smith nor
anyone else aviN stop me. All this
talk is mere foolishness.”
The famous détective said he in
tended to spend most of Thursday
quizzing Frank in his cell in the
Tower and going carefully over the
convicted man's story of his move
ments on April 26, 1913, and his ver
sidn of subsequent events.
Calls Case Easy.
“This case,” said Burns, "is easier
than I expected. There is certainly
no mystery that can not be cleared
up, and the facts will speak for them
selves when made public, I am con
fident that Mr. Dorsey is open to coni
viction if it should develop that a
grievous mistake has been made.
“I have never expressed any ¢on
victipn as to the innocence or guilt’
of Frank, and do not intend to do so
until the investigation Is completed.
Of course, I hope that our findings
will prove the man innocent, but I am
working with an absolutely open
mind, The trail certainly looks clear
enough to me, and I believe Atlanta
and the country at large will be sat
isfied that the truth has been found
when the final report is made.”
Burns said he had wired for Dan
I.ehon, head of his New Orleans of
fice, to come to Atlanta to work with
him on the case.
This effort to block Burns seeing
(‘onley was in the form of a
\ ritten demand by William M. Smitn,
' nley's lawyer, to the Sheriff, thut
all visitors be kept away from Iris
client's cell.
This is the second order of its kind,
the first having been issued by Judge
Roan at the close of the Frank trial
last summer, when the court orderad
that no visitors be allowed to see the
negro. =
Sheriff to Obey Court. 3
Both Smith and the Tower attaches
were silent regarding the new order,
except that Sheriff Mangum stated
that Judge Roan's order was the one
he regarded as mandatory, and that
he would observe it.
Smith reiterated his declaration
that he was not opposed to Burns
seeing Conley, but asserted that it
must be in his presence. He said he
would instruct his client, Conley, to
answer any questions Burns might
put fully and freely.
Mr. Birns has announced that he
expects seek the co-operation of
Solicitor Hugh Dorsey and his office
force at a'l‘ early date, planning to g
over with 'the Solicitor his theory of
the crime, and th- entire case, from
the begin. 'ng to the present time. !
