i Action of the State Federation of|
i Women’s Clubs in indorsing suffrage{
iat its recent meeting in, Columbus is
{ expected to be a heated .issue at the’
imneting of the executdve board in
| January.
i Adoption of a resolution favoring
, suffrage has aroused the ire of sev
!erul prominent leaders in the federa
ition. especially the Macon delegation,
and they have sent open letters to;
. all federated club presidents urging,
;that they withdraw from the federu—i
tion.
s Leaders in this movement in the |
'Sixth Dis rict are Mrs. J. H. Riley,
president Jones County Federation;
Mrs. A. O Murphey, president Barnes- !

{E. W. Gould of the Macon Kutaryi
| Club and Mrs, Bruce Carr Jones, cor- |
| respond.ng secretary of the Georgia
| Feaeration of Women’s Clubs. {
|- The women have as their reason !
!for withdrawing from the iederation
"an open opbosition to suffrage, claim
ing that suffrage has no part in the
:plans and works of the Georgia Fed-,
eration of Women's Clubs, wHich |
should be non-political and non-sec—;
tarian. |
A majority of the leading women of
lthe Georgia Federation of Woman's
Clubs strongly favor suffrage, it:is
said. |
| Mrs. J. E. Hays, the new Statd|
‘president of the federation, will be
'asked by a few of the clubs of the
i federation to rescind the action of the
' federation at the Columbus conven
tion when the board meets in Jan

Mrs. Bruce Carr Jones, former

Miss Willie Maude Bnllenger.{
formerly nurse in an Atlanta hos
pital, and who was, bequeathed a
large sum of money in the will of
the late Charles E. Currier, for sev
eral years president of the Atlanta
National Bank, has been made de
fendant in a suit for $200,000 for
alienation of her hushand's affec
tions, filed in the Supreme Court of
New #®ork by Mrs. Adele G. Sea
mans, wife of Merritt G. Seamans,
formerly of Atlanta. |
The three principals in the suit
are well known in Atlanta. Miss Bal
lenger was .popular and stood higa
in the estimation of the nurses cf
Atlanta. She was engaged as nurse
for Mr. Currier during his last ill
ness and performed her duties ro
faithfully that in his will he left her
the bulk of his estate. o
Relatives of Mr. Currier threatened‘
to contest the wiill and a compromise, |
variously estimated to involve from
SIOO,OOO to $250,000 as Miss Bal
lenger’'s share, was agreed on. J‘
Mr. and Mrs. Sesmans came to At
lanta from Barnesville several yearsf
ago and Mr. Seamans was branch
nas. ager for Bal ard and Ballard"
flour dealers, 290 Marietta street, un
til July, 1915, !
Miss Ballenger, it is said, became
acquainted with the Seamans family
when she was engaged as a nurse
for Mrs. S,amans. Mr. Seamans dis
appeared from his home March 28.1
1917, it is, said, and Mrs. Seamans
*heard nothing from him until Juno.‘
1918, when he is reportad to have
sent her a message to joim him in
Washington, with their young
daughter, which she did and a recon
ci'iation was effected.
According to reports from New
York, Mr. Seamans again left home
last July and. Mrs. Seamans, with
the aid of detectives, xruced her hus
band and Mlss Bal'enger to 334 West
Fifty-eighth street, New York, |
In her suit against Miss Ballenger
the wife says that she and her hus
band lived happily together until
1917, whon Miss Ballenger “by means}
of wi'es and money,” alienated his
affections. She also charges the|
nurse induced Seamans to desert his
wife and child last July. |
According to the New York dis
patches Miss Ballenger wus serv.d
with notice of the suit while' she
was dining w'th Seamans in a res
taurant at 364 West Fifty-eighth
street, Mrs. Seamans taking her law
yver there and witnessing the serv
ing of the papers.
At the same timae notice was|
gerved on Seamans, directing h}m to |
appear in the court ‘of domestic re
lations and show causc why he coul_d
not provide for the support of his
wife and 13-year-o'd daughter.
Seamans, it is reported, did not
appear in court to answer the‘ sum
mons and at the house where it was
alleged he and Miss Ballenger li\'cd,
it was said they had left in a taxi
cab.

An unprecedented lack of interest

pessons of more than 16,000 quanricd‘

The vote was heaviest in the Fifth'
Ward., where fifty-five votes were
cast. There were no opposition can
didates to those named in the Sep
tember primary, but several candi
| Cates’ nanmjes were scratched on in
jCi\'hiual ballots,

til well past 2 o'clock hard'y mor.
than_ the managers and clerks at thci
polling places had voted. \'ariousj
persons about the City Ha#, upon
hearing this became active and there
were -numerous telephone calls so
that the waning hours were marked
by increased balloting, #l
The usual election day rumor was
current that an effort would be made
late in the aft.rnoon by designing
persons to belt the primary and put

Mrs. Vietor Kriegshaber Is Given Beautiful
Token of Esteem by Y. W. H. A, Girls.
Mrs. Victcr Kriegshaber, presiden
of the Young Woman's Hebrew As
scciation, is proudly eéxhibiting a lov
ing cup given her Wednesday even
ing at an entertainment under the
auspices of the association. '
The cup. which was presented tol
Mrs. Kriegshaber by the girls of the|
association, bears the following ins
i scriptiont
“To Mrs. Vietor Kriegshaber. from
1 er loving girls, Young Woman’s He
brew Association, December 3, 1919,
Atlanta, Ga.”
The entertainment Wednesday
night was one of a series begun last
summer in the interest of a cam-,
paign to raise sufficient funds to
e ect a permanent home for the as
sociation. The girls of the Y. W.
H. A. were active in all war work in
Atlanta, and it was the intense in
terest shown in th's cause which in
spived the leaders to launch. a cam
-laign for their home.
The entertainment was given at
the Jewigh Educational Alliance
quarters, anl opened with a tnuegical
relection by Miss Evelyn Rubenstein,
(By International News Service,)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-—lnvesti
gation of charges made by Senator
Watson, Republican, of Indiana,
against the Federal Trade Commis
sion will begin before the first of
the year.
The resolution passed by the Sen
ate provides investigation of the com.
mission’s general activities as well as
alleged spreading of Socialistic and
bolshevik propaganda,
The investigation will be exhaus
tive, according to Senator Watson,
who will be chairman of the sub
committee of the Interstate Com
merce Committee to conduct the In
vestigation. i
“The probe will take at least two
months,” Watson said today. “We
are going into every phase of the sit
nation. Employees of the Federal
Trade Commission are located in Chi.
cago, The committee may go there
to investigate the activities,
“l am in accord with the amend
ment to my resolution introduced by
Senator Cummins, It broadens the
scope of the Investigation to every
activity of the Federal Trade Com
mission.”
“The Pederal Trade Commission
welcomes the investigation,” Commlis
sioner Willilam B. Colver declared to
day, “and the more thorough that in
vestigation is the happier it will make
us all. The commission can lose
nothing by it and can gain much. It
will set us right before the people.”
Charges had been leveled at the
commission, Colyer said, by wvarious
big business organizations. The com.
missloners had been charged with
being consgervatives, radicals, reds
and bolsheviki and now, he said, he
and the other members of the com
mission feel that the time for vindi
cation has come. .
,Miss Ceha Weinstock, vice president
of the association, was chairman of
the entertainment committee.
Popular songs were sung by Hy
man Cohen and J. McGowan. Mr.
Cohen was accomranied on the piane
by IMies Sarah Cohen.” M. Green
blach 2lso appeared on the program,
and Charley Miller presented the cup
‘0 Mrs. Kriegshaber. The presenta
tion was preceded by a mock presen
tation, which caused many tears
an.eng the girls,. Only a few persons
were let in on the secret, and when
the girl bearing a silver waiter on
which was pladed a gléss digh stum
bled and fell, breaking the ¢ish, fol
lowed by a reprimand from Mr, Mil
ler, many of the girls began to cry.
Their joy on learming that this was
done only through fun amply paid
ror their sorrow.
The entertainment closed with
darcing and the serving of refresh
ments. =
The other officers of the associa
tlon are Miss Edith Cohen, corre
sponding secretary; Miss Bertha
Skerman, recording secretary, and
Mrs. Hyman TJacobs. treasurer.
Official word reached the mayor's
office Thursaay from Washington

store of frozen beef, amounting to
34,215,000 pounds, will be disposed 6f
by the war department Lo retailers
and others deaiing directly with the

The agencies agreed to by the gov
ernment are municipal governments,
community buying organizations, mu

Baptist churches in all sections ot
Georgia will celebrate their victory
in the Baptist $75,000,000 campaign
with approprigte services Sunday. Of
ficials are confident that by Sunday
subscriptions amounting to $10,000,-
000 will have been reported. The to-,
tal amount subscribed up to Thurs
day amoufited to something over
$9,000,000 and there are yet 350 of
the 2,600 Baptist churches yet to be
heard from.
Although G(eorgia’s subscriptions
will go to $10,000,000 or $2,600,000
more than its quota and the cam
paign officially ends Sunday the field
representatives will be kept busy
throughout the month, L. D, Newton,
State publicity director, announced
Thursday.
“We are not going to let up a bit
just because we have made such &
good showing and every section of
the State will be chgcked to see that
no church has been left cut,” Mr,
Newton said:
While no definite steps have been
taken to hold a general jubilee serv
ice following the campaign it is vir
tually assured some get-together
meeting for the Southern division
will be had, officials say. ”
It was announced by Mr. Newton
that the Distrfect of Columbia had
oversubscribed its quota and had ac
cepted Georgia’s challenge to put the
South's total at $100,000,000 or $25,-
000,000 above its quota,
Georgia is still leading the South
in subscriptions, according to reports
from Dr. L. R. Scarborough, director
of the campaign in the South, and
Dr. Arch C. Cree, State director, ig
determined that Georgia will con
tinue to lead.
The work of the women of the
