Coleman McWhorter, garage em-‘
ployee, related Monday in Mumclpail
Court a strange story of night life in|
Atlanta in which a street bandit and
@ mysterious woman were the most
prominent characters.
The bandit marched him through
the streets, McWhorter 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 emplovee of the!
George (. Morton garage on Northl
Pryor street, and he was a wnness‘
wgainst two negroes, William Math
*ws and Cornelius Tinkard, on ll‘lal'
as members of an alleged gang of
bardits who early last Monday, with|
drawn revolvers, were said to have
held up the Morton garage in old-|
time Wild Western style, driving
awiay an automobile that had been |
left there by a man giving his name|
as J. W. Yarnell, of Chattanooga.!
Yarnell and another man accused of‘
having been in the gang and who
gave his name as Bass are being h(-ld\
in Chattanooga on a (Government
charge, it was stated. The two ne-l
€roes also were arrested in Chatta
nooga. l
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 =aid the highwayman
who covered him marched him away
10 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 Hatheock held both negroes
in bond of $3,000 each on a charge of

With the approach of spring, mother
decided that it would be poor economy |

spring’s (1918) market quotations and |
that their terms are most liheral-—just

Italy Day was celebrated at Craigic
House, the home of Atlanta Chapter,
D. A. R, Saturday afternoon, when a
large audience assembled to enjoy the
program.
The program was arranged by Mrs,
Charles F. Rice, and included several
charming numbers, -
Mrs. David Woodward, the newly
elected regent, was present, having
returned from an extended trip
through California, on Thursday, and
presided over the first part 8( the
meeting. Mrs. Woodward told inter
estingly of her visit to California, and
then turned the meeting over to Mrs
Charles F. Rice, chairman of the day.
The first number on the program
was two spring ballads sung by Mrs,
Ewell Gay, accompanied by Mrs.
Rucker McCarty. 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
given an ovation at the close of his
talk. |
An important part of the program
then arrived, in which three aviation
vests, made by the aviation vest com-‘
mittee of the chapter, Mrs. John Rob
erts, chairman, were presented to
three flyers, Lieutenant Van Bergen,‘
Lieutenant Jervey and Lieutenant
James Bedell, Mrs. Jervey and Mrs.
Bedell, mothers of the aviators, were
present to receive the gifts for their
sons, and Mrs. Bergen was present to
see her son receive his vest. Lieuten
ant Bergen was called upon for the
story of his fighting in the great
world war and how he fared in prison
in Germany, and the remarkable “dog
fight” he had with a squadron of
German airships, in which he was
wounded. Lieutenant Bergen is just
20 years old. A tall, slim young fel
low, lithe and well educated. His
talk was thrilling and given with
clearness and accuracy. He brought
with him a number of souvenirs and
war relics, 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
ter,’
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. \%oodward.
The business part of the meeting
was not without its interesting fea
tures, for Mrs. Whiteside, the first
vice regent, made a talk on Tilloloy,
the French village the D. A, R. is re
storing, and for which Atlanta Chap
ter is pledged for a S2OO contribution,
which has been made. Mrs, Bun Wy -
lie gave a brief report of the work
her committee has been doing at
Camp Gordon, and M. Love told of
the refreshments served at the Red
Cross House and the two wards, No.
1 and No, 3, which are taken care of
by Atlanta Chapter.
~ Miss Kate Massey, vice president
of the Writers’ Club, extended an in

lluflrl?o Party |
To Hold Mass Meeting. :
The Equal SBuffrage Party of Geor
gin 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 nbtable speakers. |
Mrs, Emily McDougald, chairman
of the Equal Suffrage Party of Geor
gia, has issued the following letter to
the president of the clubs in the City
Federatlon: |
“The time for reorganization md!
reconstruction has come for the
Georgla Federation of Women's Clubu!
as 1t has for ali other organizations
that have entered into the work of
the war, A general expansion of in
terests and activities must necessari
irl.v result within the next few monthn.‘
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 can be no evasion of
the question of equal suffrage for
women. It is one of thé 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 Georgia State Fed
eration has evaded the responsibility
of considering the indorsement of (he(
equal suffrage movement in Georgia,i
‘but it seems to me that now there
should be a fair and complete discus- |
sion of the matter at the next annual |
‘convention, and that the clubs of the
State should at least have opportuni
ty to vete for qp.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
to the attention of your club, and
after fair and mature consideration
of the subject, take 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 eclub is for
suffrage, let us know: if it be against
suffrage, give me that information
also.”
The State officers of the Equal Suf
frage party, many of whomn will at
tend this meeting, are: Mrs. Emily
' (". McDougald, chairman general;
Mrs, S. B. €. Morgan, Savannah, first
vice president; Mrs. John Desier Pou,
Columbus, second vice president;
Mrs. Elliott Cheatham, Atlanta, chair
man of congressional district; Mrs,

In reply to the published \l.\mnom‘
of the Georgia Railway and Power
Company regarding the municipally
owned street car sysiem in Glasgow,
Scotland. the citizens' committee, of
which J. L. McCord is chairman, on
Monday issued the following state
ment:
“Editor The Georgian:
“The Power Company calls atten-|
tion to Glasgow and Atlanta \
“It neglects to state that the aver
age fare pald by Glasgow street rail
way passengers for the year ending
May 81, 1917, was Jess than 2 cents.
“These railways of Glasgow paid to
dependents cf einployees serving with
his majesty's forces in the yvears 1916
and 1917 more than $865,000,
“Coutrast that story of the years
from 1585 to 1917 in Scotland with
the municipally owned plant 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
;‘wmrihming hundreds of thousands
‘nf dollars to support the families of
men at the front Put that picture
llv(-.suh that of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company with a bH-cent
fare, urging Atlanta to increase that
fare, in order to enable the company
to borrow money. Contrast the debt
free street rallway of Glasgow with
the debt-burdened Georgia Railway
and Power Company and you wil! an
derstand why it is that Mayor Key
‘rugh!fnll,\' holds that, if Atlanta must
furnish the credit to build its power
plants and street railways, the city
iniH itself do the building and run
ning of the plants and street rail
wads, and not leave them in the
hands of others
' “Why is a Z-cent fare inore than
sufficient in Glasgow and a i-cent
fare not enough in Atlanta?
“We are glad that the Power Com
pany, 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 thanm 2-cent far of the mu
nicipally owned system of Glasgow.”

We've got right here at home a street railway
system that beats the municipal model over yonder,
. I ‘ HERE'S been some mention recently of Glasgow, away over vonder in
Scotland; and of what the municipal government there is doing with its
street railway—the idea being to make you wish vou 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 fur more efficient than the men in
making their returns, according to . T.
Adams, in charge of the local tax in
come office.
“Phe women, many of them stenog
raphers and shop girls, as a rule came
to the office with their income blanks
already filled in accurately and gave us
little trouble,” declared Mr. Adams
“On the other hand the fellow with a
$6,000 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 9% per cent of that
‘number paid the entire tax instead of
A 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

“Glasgow and suburbs have more than a mil-
Hon population, with 194 miles of street car tracks,”
says a report to the Amoerican Federation of Labor
by a committee it sent to investigate conditions
among the street railways 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 336,651.624 cash fares realized
by the Glasgow corporation last year, 211,462,481,
ar 6281 per cent, represented l-cent fares. This
showing is held to be proof that the public is en-
Joying cheap fares. This claim is not correct, for
the Glasgow system, like all other Kuropean 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 addi
tional fare on each, On every lne he {s a cash
passenger and helps swell the total of the clags of
sure he helps to pay.” We are still quoting the
report. “So that the so-called cheap tare of Glas
zow, as of Europe generally, is not so cheap when
the small distance It covers is considered, and cer
tainly is not cheap when compared with the huy
ing power of the workers as reflected in the ime
possible wage they receive.”
“The scale of wages for motormen and con
ductors is graded, running into the elghth year
before men receive the maximum pay,” says the
report. “It shows that the pay In U. 8, money
equivalent s, for the first vear, $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.-—Fishing ex
perts feel great apprehension for the
Georgla shad industry for 1920 because
of the heavy rains and freshets on the
shad rivers. The rain has caused such
high water that great shoals of the fish
have bheen washed out of the streams
and into the surrounding !uwlundn,i
where they are spawning. Often both
the fish and the spawn are left dry b_\"
the receding waters 1
Reports of great losses to fish and
live stock are reaching Savannah from
the Ogeechee River basin, in which
chief Jocal interest is felt, and in other !
streams of this section of Georgia. :

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.
