Coleman McWhorter, garage em
ployee, related Monday in Municipai
Court a strange story of night life in
Atlanta in which a street bandit and
a mysterious woman were the most
prominent characters.
The bandit marched him through
the streets, MeWhorter said, to a ho
tel room, where the woman extracted
S4O in cash, a watch and a ring from
his person, and then the pair locked
him in the room and left,
McWhorter is an employee of the
George (. Morton garage on North
Pryor street, and he was a witness
against two negroes, William Math
ews and Cornelius Tinkard, on trial
as members of an alleged gang of
bandits who early last Monday, with
drawn revolvers, were said to have
held up the Morton garage in old
time Wild Western style, driving
away an automobile that had been
left there by a man givihg his name
as J. W. Yarnell, of Chattanooga.
Yarnell and another man accused of
having been in the gang and who
guve his name as Bass are being held
in Chattanooga on a Government
charge, it was stated. The two ne
groes also were arrested in Chatta
nooga.
Coleman said he and his nephew,
W. (" Hindeman, aproached the ga
rage just as the holdup was starting
and that both were robbed. Hindeman
said a revolver was shoved close to
his face and he was relieved of $49 in
cash, Coleman said the highwayman
who covered him marched him away
to the hotel before relieving him of his
valuables,
During the march to the hotel, he
said, the robber kept him covered
with a revolver in his outside coat
pocket,
Judge Hathcock held both negroes
in bond of $3,000 each on a charge of
robbery

MOTHER LEARNS TO USE 1
HER CREDIT AND BUY FROM
H-A-85-C-0 ON EASY TERMS. 1
Gets New Curtains, Draperies and a
Handsome New Rug on Easy Pavments
of 25¢ to §1 a Week on Each Purchase. 1
All winter long, mother had been
vanting new window hangings and
floor coverings to brighten the living
room and hedroom She had put off
these purchases from month te month
until the old rug was worn threadbare
and the old curtains were beyond further
possibility of laundering and repair
Her funds were low and she did not
see how she might buy the needed art
cles
With the approach of spring, mmht-r‘
decided that it would be poor economy
to delay any longer She read that
Home Art Supply Company, Nos. 172-
174 Whitehall street, are selling some
lines of rugs at prices based on last|
spring’'s (1918) market quotations and |
that their terms are most liberal—just |
25¢ to $1 a week on each article pur
chased She declared, “I'm going lht'l'v‘
and use my credit to get what we re
quire, and have the use of the L:(Nn!.u‘
while paying for them I'll never miss |
the little weekly sums from my house- |
Keeping allowance.” ‘
Great was mother's surprise and
pleasure at the extensive lines of mer- |
chandise shown by H-A-8-C-0 in their|
big four-story establishment, which is
at the corner of Whitehall and Garnett |
stteets. Their location is just nu'v;
side the high-rent zone, which enables
them to undersell and to give such easy
terms Now mother vows she never
again will put off thes selection of things
which can be bought from ‘“Hasco,” but
will take full advantage of their conven
ient credit terms.—Advertisement |

The program was arranged by Mrs,
Charles I. Rice, and includéd several
charming numbers.
Mre. David Woodward, the newly
elected regent, was present, having
returned from an extended trip
through California, on Thursday, and
presided over the first part of the
meeting. Mrs. Woodward told inter
estingly of her visit to California, and
then turned the meeting over to Ars
Charles . Rice, chairman of the day.
The first number on the program
was two spring ballads sung by Mrs,
Ewell Gay, accompanied by Mrs.
Rucker MecCarty. The songs were
“The Violet” and “The Open Secret."
‘Mrs. Rice then introduced Hon.
‘Hooper Alexander, who addressed the
chapter on “The Part Italy Has in
the Peace Negotiations,” in which
Mr. Alexander gave some interesting
historical facts and figures. He was
\glven an ovation at the close of his
talk.
An important part of the program

German airships, in which he was
wounded. Lieutenant Bergen is just
20 years old. A tall, slim young fel

talk was thrilling and given with
clearness and accuracy. He brought
with him a number of souvenirs and
war relies, among which was a plece
of wood pulp bread baked in sawdust,
which was fed to him in a German
prison when he was sent to the
dungeon for eight days and fed on
black, tasteless, hard bread and wa

Mrs. Ewell Gay and Mrs, McCarty
contributed two more songs, Mrs, Gay
singing “Mammy” and “My Cap
tain.”
Mrs. Rice presented to the chapter
a large flag of Italy, which was re
ceived with gracious words by the
regent, Mrs. Woodward.
The business part of the meeting

Suflur Party
To Hold Mass Meeting.
The Equal Suffrage Party of Geor
gia will hold a mass meeting at the
Auditorium-Armory Friday night,
April 11, at which time suffrage for
women in the white primaries will be
discussed by notable speakers.
Mrs. Emily MeDougald, chairman
of the Equal Bufllgo Party of Geor
gia, has issued t following letter to
the president of the clubs in the City
Federation:
“The time for reorganizalion and
reconstruction has come for the
Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs
as i has for all other organizations
that have entered into the work of
the war, A general expansion of in
terests and activities must necessari-
Iy result within the next few menths,
and the clubwomen of the State will
be called upon to decide a number of
new problems as well as older ones
“In connection with these problems
of the day there ean be no evasion of
the question of equal suffrage for
women. It is one of the large and
vital movements of the time, and
upon the securing of the franchise for
women hinges the proper and imme
diate solving of many of the prob
lems now faced by the women of the
‘nation and the State.
~ "Heretofore the Georgla State Fed
ierul.ion has evaded the re-pondbmt)‘l
of considering the indorsement of the
equal suffrage movement in Georgia,
but it seems to me that now there
should be a fair and complete discus
€ion of the matter at the next annual
convention, and that the clubs of the
State should at least have opportuni
ty to vete for or against suffrage for
women. The Savannah Federation of
Women's Organizations has already
formally indorsed suffrage for women
‘and other State organizations have
taken similar action. -
“l would like, through this letter,
to suggest that you bring the matter
t 6 the attention of your club, and
‘after fair and mature consideration
’ol’ the subject, *ake a vote upon the
attitude of your club toward the in
dorsement of the suffrage movement
by the Georgia State Federation. Aft
er you have taken such a vote, will
you write and let me know just what
the result is? If your club is for
suffrage, let us know: if it be against
s;xflruxe. give me that information
also.”
The State officers of the Equal Suf
frage party, many of whom will at
tend this meeting, are: Mrs. Emily
€. McDougald, chairman general:
Mrs. 8. B, C. Morgan, Savannah, first
vice president; Mrs. John Desier Pou,
Columbus, second vice president;
Mrs. Elliott Cheatham, Atlanta, chair
man of congressional district; Mrs,
Charles C. Harrold, Macon, associate
chairman of congressional district;
Mrs. Beaumont Davison, correspond
ing secretary; Mrs. A. G. Helmer, At.
lanta, recording secretary: Miss An
nie G. Wright, Augusta, auditor; Miss
Flisch, Augusta, treasurer: Miss Stel

The meeting will attract both men
and women from all parts of the
State and plans are being made for a
splendid program.

The hospitality committee is part of
the great work being done under the

of the Georgla Rallway and Power
Company regarding the municipally
owned street car system in Glasgow,
Scotland, the citizsens' commlttes, of
which J. L. McCord is chalrman, on
Monday {ssued the followlug siate
ment:
“Editor The Georgian
“The Power Company calls atten
tion to Glasgow and Atlanta, }
"It neglects to state that the aver
age fare paid by Glasgow street rail
way passengers for the year ending
May 31, 1917, was less than 2 cents.
“These rallways of Glasgow pald to
dependents of employees serving with
his majesty's forces in the years 1916
and 1917 more than $865,000
- “C'ontrast that story of the years
from 18395 to 1917 in Scotland with
the municipally owned plans with the
‘story of the same years in Atlanta
and Georgia with the privately owned
plant Then picture Glasgow from
an average car fare of less than 2
cents freeing itself from debt and
contributing hundreds of thousands
of dollars to support the families of
lmvn at the front. Put that picture
beside that of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company with a 5-cent
(fare, urging Atlanta to increase that
fare, in order to enable the company
to borrow money. Contrast the debt
free street railway of (ilasgow with
the debt-burdened Georgia Railway
and Power Company and you will un
derstand why it is that Mayor Key
rightfully holds that, if Atlanta must
‘l\(rni.-'h the credit to build its .vower
plants and .su(v-l railways, the city
‘\\\ll itself do the building and run
ning of the plants and street rail
| ways, and not leave them in the
' hands of others,
“Why is a 2-cent sure more than
sufficient in Glasgow and a JH-cent
fare not enough in Atlanta?
“We are glad that the Power Com
rany, at the very time when it is
seeking to increase the already too
high car fares in Atlanta, has called
the attention of the Atlanta public to
the less than 2-cent far of the mu
nicipally owned system of (ilasgow.”

We've got right here at home a street railway
system that beats the municipal model over yonder.
f I * HERE'S been some mention recently of Glasgow, away over yonder in
Scotland; and of what the municipal government there is doing with its
street railway—the idea being to make you wish you lived in Glasgow, perhaps,
or could make Atlanta resemble it, somehow.
Well, let’s TAKE Glasgow, if there’s such zeal to cite it as illustrating
something.
Let’s contrast a few details.

Macon Women Experts
On Income Tax Returns
MACON, March 17--Macon women
were far more efficient than the men in
making their returns, according to G. T.
Adams, in charge of the local tax in
come office.
“The women, many of them stenog
raphers and shop girls, as a rule came
to the office with their income blanks
already fllled in accurately and gave us
little trouble,” declared Mr, Adams
“On the other hand the fellow with a
$5,000 or $6,000 income in almost every
instance had to have his blank filled
in. He didn’'t even know where to write
his_name."’
Five thousand persons made their re
turns in Macon, and 90 per cent of that
‘number paid the entire tax instead of
ia quarter, as permitted by law Sat
urday was the last day for making the
returns, and there was a big rush to
escape the wrath of Uncle Sam

“(ilasgow and suburbs have more than a mil
lion population, with 194 miles of street car tracks,”’
saye a report to the American Federation of Labor
by a committee it sent to investigate conditions
among the street rallways of Europe.
“The fares on the Glasgow system vary from 1
cent to 14 cents, according to distance, Fares
are collected on the zone system. When a pas
senger rides from one zone into another he pays
an additional fare,” says the report.
“Of the total of 336,664,624 cash fares realized
by the Glasgow corporation last year, 211,462,484,
or 6281 per cent, represented 1-cent fares. This
showing is held to be proof that the public is en-
Jjoying cheap fares. This claim is not correct, for
the Glasgow system, like all other European sys
tems, municipal and private, does not issue trans
fers, and a passenger may ride on several lines
to reach his destination and have to pay an addl
tional fare on each. On every Une he {8 a cash
passenger and helps swell the total of the ciass of
fare he belps to pay,” We are still quoting the
report. “8o that the so-called cheap fare of Glas
gow, as of Europe generally, is not so cheap when
the small distance it covers s considered, and cer
tainly is not cheap when compared with the buy
ing power of the workers as reflected in the im
possible wage they receive.”
“The scale of wages for motormen and con.
ductors is graded, running into the eighth year
before men receive the maximum pay,” says the
report, “It shows that the pay in U. 8, money
equivalent is, for the first year, $6.64 per WEEK ;
for the second year, $6.72 and $6.96 per WEEK,
and so on up to the eighth vear, when the maxi
mum becomes and remains $5.40 per WEEK.”

Georgia Shad Industry
. .
Believed Hurt by Rains
SAVANNAH, March 17.-—WFighing ex
perts feel great apprehension for the
Georgia shad industry for 1920 because
of the heavy raing and freshets on the |
shad rN{-rn. The rain has caused such
high water that great shoals of the fish
have been washed out of the streams
and into the surrounding lowlands,
where they are spawning. Often both
the fish and the spawn are left dry by
the receding waters.
Reports of great losses to fish and
ltlve stock are reaching Savannah from
the Ogeechee River basin, in which
chief local interest is felt, and in other
streams of this section of Georgia
AUSTRIAN SHIP SUNK.
AMSTERDAM, March 17.--The
Austrian steamship Arad has been
‘snnk by & mine while on her way to
surrender to the Allies, said a dis
patch received here today. Part of
Atlanta and suburbs, with about a QUARTER
of a million population, HAVE 226 MILES OF
STREET CAR TRACKS.
There is only ONE fare in Atlanta—the same
little old nickel that has been paying for street
car rides since the first horse-car days of forty
years ago. And there is NO ZONE SYSTEM.
Here in Atlanta WE'VE GOT TRANSFERS.
Last year, among 85,481,204 passengers rung up
on Atlanta street cars, 14,830,912, presented trans
fers. As to distance, one FARE here is good for
the MAXIMUM ride of 18 miles.
Here In Atlanta, motormen and conductors are
getting from $l2O to $l5O per month as their pay
for running the cars.
‘the crew Is missing. The Arad, a ves
sel of 3,927 tons, was interned at the
‘outbreak of the war, She hailed from
i Flume.
