SA YS TRIAL WAS NOT FAIR
BECA USE NO REPUBLICAN
WAS ALLOWED ON JURY
Attacking the local option law as un
constitutional, taking a swipe at the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
and alleging that hls client did not
have a fair trial because no Republi
cans were on the jury. Attorney D. M.
Dukes, of Flovllla, Butts county, has
filed a .petition before Judge Don
Pardee, of the' United States circuit
court, for a writ of habeas corpus In
the case of Tom Fears.
Attorney General Hart was servsd
with notice of appeal to the United
States supreme court Friday morning.
Tom Fears was Indicted in Butts coun
ty on the charge of selling liquor. He
was cqnvlcted and the case went to the
Georgia supreme court, which affirmed
the flne of $1,000 or twelve months tn
the chalngang of the lower court.
Then It was that Attorney Dukes on
September 18 went before Judge Par
dee with the petition for habeas corpus,
which was denied. However, as the
petitioner by counsel demands an ap
peal from tbs order of denial to the
eupreme court of the United States,
Judge Pardee granted the same on the
petitioner giving a bond for $500 to
pay all coats and damages against him
In the appeal. It Is understood that
Fears has furnished the bond, and the
case will go up.
In the petition It Is set up that Fears
was Illegally convicted and denied
equal protection of the law. No Re
publicans were on the Jury that tried
him. Fears Is a Republican. It Is
stated that all Republicans or persons
affiliated with th'e Republican party
are excluded from the grand and petit
Juries of Butts county.
The local option law la declared un
constitutional, therefore hull and void,
on the grounds that 'It conflicts with
Interstate commerce laws by prohibit
ing any state from levying a tax on
Imports or exports of liquors. The
Georgia law. It Is alleged, places a tax
on whisky from other states or else
prohibits It altogether.
It Is further stated that the convic
tion of Fears was contrary to the four
teenth amendment. Inasmuch as Re
publicans are excluded from the Jury
box. Fears, It Is set forth, Is Illegally
restrained of hls liberty, and hls trial
and sentence are nullified for the rea
son that Georgia haa never, yet rati
fied the fifteenth amendment, as pro
vided by act of congress.
Judge Hart Is cited to answer within
thirty days. In commenting on the
case the attorney general said that he
thought there was nothing In It other
than to delay the execution ot sen
tence.

the conclusion that somebody la mak

such a nice proflt In fact that It ceases
to be nice and borders on being a hold
up game. The people believe they
should receive those profits which they
are enabling the gas company to make.
The gas company and the electric
lighting monopoly are existing by grace
of the people—tn reality. The case has
been reversed—by the .Georgia Hall

people who are dependent upon them.
The people gave the franchises In the

returns . The Georgia Railway and
Electric Company has Imposed upon
the gift of the people. And now the
people have determined to assert them

Blanks Will Be Printed.
Already more than 10 members have

be able to take applications and turn

NEW ARMORY FOR FIFTH
REGIMENT ENDORSED BY
THE MA YOR AND CITIZENS
An armory for the state troops large
enough to accommodate a whole regi
ment, is being earnestly advocated by
many df the foremost men of Atlanta.
The need of such an armory has long
been felt, but never ao much as during
the past week, when a number of com
panies of militia were kept on duty day
after day and forced to sleep In such
quarters as thfey might And.
It Is suggested that a new building,
of which Atlanta may be proud, be
erected to comprise a city hall, a great
audltorlutn and a well-equipped armory*
for the Fifth regiment. This has the
Indorsement of Mayor Woodward and
other prominent i»nd public-spirited
men of Atlanta, .''fiyor Woodward Is
emphatic In hls nt: uent that an arm
ory 1j needed. He Incorporated It as
a plank In hls plntform two years ago,
but up to this time no active move
ment for an armory has been begun.
Colonel Clifford L*. Anderson, command
ing the Fifth regiment, in one of the
foremost Indorsers of the armory move
ment. Harry L. Schleslnger, always
foremost In public movements. Is en
thusiastic over pushing the movement
now while the appreciation of the state
troops Is at Its highest. Other cltlsens
have expressed their Interest In the
movement.
Mayor Woodward.
“There should be no delay In provid
ing a home for the soldiers of Georgia,"
said Mayor Woodward. "They are will
ing to go to a large personal expense,
to give up their time and risk their
lives for the city. We have Just-seen
the value of the military to the com
munity. But the men were handicapped
beenuse they had no central hall at
which to assemble.
"When we build an armory we should
erect a city hall at the same time. We
can erect a building that can Include
both, and also an auditorium big
enough to accommodate the big con
ventions which meet here, and which
now go to Ponce DeLeon or one of the
old exposition buildings. The present
city administration can start the ball
rolling and give It definite shape and
the In-coming administration can take
it up and carry It to success."
Colonel Clifford Anderaon.
Colonel Clifford L. Anderson hoa of
ten uppealed for an armory for hls reg
iment and the recent call for the troops
has made him even more Insistent In
hls demands for a home for hts men.
He said:
"It would have been of great service
If the members of all the companies
could have been mustered at a central
armory Saturday night., They were
forced to go to their own armor tee,
such ns they are, and await Instruc
tions. If all the officers and men had
been under one root much time would
have been gained and easy communi
cation established.
"The recent outbreak haa demon
strated the need of a central armory.
The men were drawn to regimental
headquarters and slept on the street—
on the hard Belgian block pavement.
No man of them ull raised an objection,
there was no word of complaint. They
obeyed orders cheerfully and willing
ly."
Colonel Anderson believes that the
armory should be located within the
central part of the city though he
makes no suggestions as to the best

him to office know whether he stands

Want Them on Record.

to put the members on record. So far
only one member has signified a desire
to Join the Municipal Ownership
league. There Is some talk of political
Jealousy, but this talk has to be rele

Is involved, and this movement In fnvor

shall not be sidetracked until every ef

finally secured.
