Action of the State Federation of
Women’s Clubs in indorsing suffrage
at its recent meeting in Columbus is
expected to be a heated issue at the
meeting of the executlve board in
January. g
Adoption of a resolution favoring
suffrage has aroused the ire of sev
eral prominent leaders in the federa
tion, especially the Macon delegation,
and they have sent open letters to
all federated club presidents urging
that they withdraw from the federa
tion. 4
Leaders in this movement in the
Sixth District are Mrs. J. H. Riley,
president Jones County Federation;
Mrs. A. O. Murphey, president Barnes
ville Civic League; Mrs. Walter D.
Lamar, vice president Macon City
Federation and Macon’s Clubs; Mrs.
D. C. Horgan, corresponding secretary
to the committee, Macon; Mrs. Wal
ter Grace, Mrs, R. T. Taylor and Mrs.
E. W. Gould of the Macon Rotary
Club and Mrs. Bruce Carr Jones, cor
responding secretary of the Georgia
Federation of Women's Clubs.
The women have as their reason
for withdrawing from the rederation
an open opposition 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
the Georgia Federation of Woman's
Clubs strongly favor suffrage, it is
saidl
Mrs. J. E. Hays, the new State
president of the federation, will be
asked by a few of the clubs of the
federaticn to rescind the action of the
federation at the Columbus conven
tion. when the board meets in Jan
uary.
Mrs. Bruce Carr Jones, former
president of the Sixth District
of Women’s Ciubs, said she could no
longer remain in the federation and
keep faith with the clubs she has
brought into the federation since the
federation has become a political ma
chine. .

77 7 ) LEADING NEWSPAPER (o) A% TN ) OF THE SOUTHEAST # ||+ 5
Miss Willie Maude Ballenger,
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 husband’'s affec
tions, filed in the Supreme Court of
New York by Mrs., Adele G. Sea
mans, wife of Merritt G. Seamans,
forgnerly of Atlanta.
The three principals in the suit
are well known in Atlanta. Miss Bal
lenger was popular and stood high
in the estimation of the nurses of
Atlanpa. She was engaged as nurse
for Mr. Currier during his last ill
ness and performed her duties go
faithfully that in his will he left her
the bulk of his estate.
Relatives of Mr. Currier threatened
to contestythe will and a compromise,
variously estimated to involve from
SIOO,OOO to $250,000 as Miss Bal
lenger’s share, was agreed on.
Mr. and Mrs. Seamans came to At
lanta from Barnesville several years
ago and Mr. Seamans was branch
myanager for Ballard 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. Seamans, Mr., Seamans dis
appeared from his home March 28,
1917, it is said, and Mrs. Seamans
heard nothing from him until June,
1918, when he is reported to have
sent her a message to join him in
Washington, with their young
daughter, which she did and a recon
ciliation was effected.
According to reports from New
York, Mr, Seamans again left home
last July .and Mrs. Seamans, with
the aid of detectives, traced her hus
band and Miss Ballenger 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, when Miss Ballenger “by means
of wiles 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 was served
with notice of the suit while she
was dining with Seamans in & res
taurant at 354 West Fifty-eighth
street, Mrs. Seamans taking her law
yer there and witnessing the serv
ing of the papers.
At the same time notice was
served on Seamans, directing him to
appear in the court of domestic re
lations and show cause why he could
not provide for the support of his
wife and 13-year-old 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 lived,
it was sald they had left in a taxi
cab.

An unprecedented lack of interest
in the general election of Wednesday
was revealed by figures anneunced at
noon Thursday by City Clerk Walter
C. Taylor, showing that only 366
persons of more than 16,000 qualified
to vote cast their ballots.
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, bul several candi
dates’ names were scratched on in-
Gividual ballots,
From the opening of the polls un
til well past 2 o'clock' hardly more
than the managers and clerks at the
polling places had voted. Various
persons about the City Hall, upon
nearing this became active and there
were numerous telephone calls so
that the waning hours were marked
by increased balloting.
The usual election day rumor was
current that an effort would be made
late in the afternoon by designing
persons to holt the primary and put
over irregular candidates. But, as
usual, it proved to be unfounded.
Half of the 1920 general council, a
member of the Board of Kducation
and a general manager of water
works, all primary nominees, were
elected. They were:
School Commissioner — Paul L.
Fleming. General Manager Water
works—W, Zode Smith, Alderman

Jury Trials Suspended
In Ireland, Says Dublin
LONDON, Dec, 4—The cabinet has
suspended jury trials in all cases of
violence in Tlreland, substituting
three judges to hear all such charges,
said a Dublin dispatch to the Dally

The cabinet is now more concerned
in ending the wave of violence which
followed the proclamation suppressing
the Binn Fein than in finishing the
Home Rule bill, according to the

Mrs. Vietor Kriegshaber Is Given Beautiful
Token of Esteem by Y. W. H. A, Girls.
Mrs. Victer Kriegshaber, president.
of the Young Woman's Hebrew As
scciation, is proudly exhibiting a lov
ing cup given her Wednesday even
ing, at an entertainment under the
auspices of the association.
The cup, which was presented to

association, bears the following in
scription:
“To Mrs. Victor Kriegshaber, from
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
erect 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 this cause which in
spired tbe leaders to launch a cam
paign for their home.
The entertainment was given at
the Jewish Educatiopal Alliance
quarters, ani opened with a musical
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 Igpterstate Com
merce Committee to conduct the in
vestigation.
“The probe will take at least two
months,” Watson said today. ‘“We
are going into every phase of the sit
uation. Employees of the Federal
Trade Commission are located in Chi.
cago. The committee may go there
to investigate the activities,
“I am in accord with the amend
ment to my resalution introduced by
Senator Cummins, It broadens the
scope of the investigation to every
activity of the Federal Trade Com
mission.”
“The Federal Trade Commission
welcomes the investigation,” Commis
sioner William B. Colver declared to
day, “and the more thorough that in
vestigation is the happiler 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, Colver said, by various
big business organizations. The com.
missioners had been charged with
being conservatives, radicals, reds
and bolsheviki and now, he said, he
and the oth embers of the com
mission feel t the time for vindi
cation has come.
.Miss Celia 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 pianc
by Miss Sarah Cohen. M. Green
blach also appeared on the program,
and Charley Miller presented the cup
too Mrs. Kriegshaber, The presenta
tion was preceded by a mock presen
tation, which caused many ' tears
amcng the girls. Only a few persons
were let in on the secret, and when
the girl bearing a silver waiter on
which was placed a glsss dish stum
bled and fell, breaking the gish, fol
lowed by a reprimand from Mr, Mil
ler, many of the girls hegan to cry.
Their joy on learning that this was
done only through fun amply paid
ror their sorrow.
The entertainment closed with
darcing and the serving of refrssh
ments.
The other officers of the associa
tion are Miss Edith Cohen, corre
sponding secretary; Miss Bertha
Sherman, recording secretary, and
Mrs. Hyman Jacobs, treasurer.
Official word reached the mayor’'s
office Thursday from Washington
that all of the government's surplus
store of frozen beef, amounting to
34,215,000 pounds, will be disposed of
by the war department to retailers
and others dealing directly with the
publie, .
The agencies agreed to by the gov
ernment are municipal governments,
community buying organizations, mu
ficipal, county or State institutions,
hotels or restaurants, retailers, ‘“or
any other buyers who purchase for

consumnption.”
It wiill be sold at 20 per cent less

Mayor Key announced his willing
ness to act as agent for any person
or concern which is qualified, No
limit apparently is placed on the
quantities which may be purchared
other than a minimum of a carload
of 30,000 pounds. The sale is de
clared to »e general, rather than sec
tional, and that all might be pur
chased in any one locality or region,

opened in Atlanta would be settled
and also many questions of procedure,
There now are four white schools
and two negro schools open at night
for illiterates.

Baptist churches in all sections ox}
Georgia will celebrate their victory!
in the Baptist $75,000,000 campaign '
with appropriate services Sunday. Of= ‘
ficials are confident that by Sundd,y
subscriptions amounting to 810.000;-
000 will have been reported. The to-'
tal amount subscribed up to ’l‘hurq
day amounted to something ovar
$9,000,000 and there are yet 350 of
the 2,600 Baptist churches yet to be
heard from. I
Although Georgia's subscriptlm {
will go to $10,000,000 or $2,500,000 8
more than its quota and the cam-!
paign officially ends Sunday the fi -
representatives will be kept busSy H
throughout the month, L. D. Newton, &
State publicity director, announced:
Thursday, ¥
“We are not going to let up a BitH
just because we have made such &g
good showing and every section Of }
the State will be checked to see that?
no church has been left out,” " &
Newton said. i
While no definite steps have been
taken to hold a general jubilee serv=
ice following the campaign it is -
tually assured some get-toget! ..
meeting for the Southern division
will be had, officials say. &
It was announced by Mr. Newton
that the District of Columbia had
oversubscribed its quota and had ag-H
cepted Georgia's challenge to put the
South's total at $100,000,000 or $25,-
000,000 above its quota. > o
Georgia is still leading the Sou‘h,
in subscriptions, according to reports
from Dr. L. R. Scarborough, director
of the campaign in the South, afi
Dr. Arch C. Cree, State director, IB}
determined that Georgia will con=§
tinue to lead. £
