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.

They very naturally Jump to the conclusion that somebody la mak ing a nice proflt; too nice a profit: 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 way and Electric Company. It -s tbs people who are dependent upon them. The people gave the franchises In the bollef that they would secure adequate returns . The Georgia Railway and Electric Company has Imposed upon the gift of the people. And now the people have determined to assert them selves and reclaim their own. Blanks Will Be Printed. Already more than 10 members have subscribed to work In the cause-of mu nlclpol ownership. Many requests have been made to The Georgian to supply blanks for membership. The Georgian has decided to have some of the ap plication blanks printed, so that the en- thualaatlc municipal ownership men who nre patriotic enough to go on the streets spreading ' the movement will be able to take applications and turn them In to this offlee. We urge you to think over the plan. Do not become enrolled as a member of the Municipal Ownerahlp League unless you believe In the principle. What the League wants Is enthusiastic workers, men patriotic enough to give sufficient of their time to attend the monater man meeting that will be held Just as aoon as a sufficient .number have signified their belief In the prin ciples of municipal ownerahlp. Read up on the proposition, snd become con vlnced In your own mind that the step la good for the city.

Besides thtat eleven members who 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 FOR SALE!
