M. Dukes, of Flovllla, Butts county, has filed a petition before Judge Don A. Pardee, of the United States circuit court, for a writ of habeas corpus In the case of Tom Fears. Attorney General Hart was served with notice of appeal to the United States supreme court Friday morning. Tom Fears was indicted In Butts coun ty oit the charge of selling liquor. He was convicted and the case went to the Georgia supreme court, which affirmed the fine of $1,000 or twelve months In the chnlngang of. the lower court. Then It was that Attorney Dukes on September 58 went before Judge Par dee with the petition for habeus corpus, which was denied. However, as the petitioner by counsel demands nn ap peal from the order of denial to the supreme court of the United Stntes, Judge Pardee granted the same on the petitioner giving a bond for $r»oo to pay all costs 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 are excluded from the grand and petit Juries of Butts county. The local option law Is declared un constitutional, therefore null 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 convlc tlon 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 his liberty, and his trial and sentence are nullified for the rea son that Georgia has 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 generul said that lie thought there was nothing In it other than to delay the execution of sen tence. Mrs. Mollie Anderson. Mrs. Mollie Anderson, wife of J. B. Anderson, died Thursday night at the residence, 12 Expositions street. The funeral will be held at North Atlanta Baptist church Saturday morning at 11 o'clock and the Interment will take place at Hollywood. Mrs. Anderson was 37 years old and Is survived by her husband and six children. EXPERT IS TO HID IN SECURING CITY PUNTS Continued from Pago One.

They very naturally Jump to the conclusion that somebody la mak ing a nice profit; too nice a profit; euch a nice profit In fact that It ceanea to be nice and border* on being a hold up game. The people believe they Bhnuld receive tho*e profits which they are enabling the gas compnny to make. The gas company and the electric lighting monopoly are existing by grace of the people—In reality. The case has been reversed—by the Georgia Rail- auditorium and a well-equipped armory way and Electric Company. II s the *— **“ An armory for the atate troops large enough to accommodate a whole regi ment, Is being earnestly advocated by many of the foremost men of Atlanta. The need of such an armory has long been felt, but never so much as during the past week, when a number of com panles of militia were kept on duty day after day and forced to sleep In such quarters as they might And, It 1; suggested that a new building, of which Atlanta may be proud, be erected to comprise a city hall, a great T HE graceful lines of a Florsheim Shoe, the smooth texture of its well-tanned leather, the precise, glove-like fit— all attest the superb workman ship back of it.

Blanks Will Bs Printed, Already mote than 10 members have subscribed to work In the cause of mu nicipal ownership. Many requests have been made to The Georgian to supply blanks for membership. The Georgian has declded'to have eome of the ap plication blanks printed, eo that the en thusiastic municipal ownership men who are patriotic enough to go on the streets spreading the movement will be able to tnke applications and turn them in-to this office. We urge you to think over the plan. Do not become enrolled as a member of the Murlclpat Ownership League unless you believe In the principle. What thf League want* Is enthusiastic workeis, men patriotic enough to give sufficient of their time to attend the monster njass meeting that will be held Just as soon a* a sufficient number have signified their belief In the prin ciples of municipal ownership.

What ths Psopls Say. “I am fnmlllar with the operation of gas plants,” wrote W. A. Lyons, on accountant, who resides at 264 Ashby street, when he sent In his application for membership. He knows that the present arrangement Is unfair and un just, and, therefore, Mr. Lyons comes forwnrd with a membership In the Mu nicipal Ownership League. I have been a consistent advocate of municipal ownership for many years," wrote M. M. Welch, a former alderman and former councilman, whose office Is at 723 Austell build ing "Present conditions In Atlanta nerve to accentuate the wisdom of the proposition," he continues, and' Mr. Welch wrote from an Intimate knowl edge of affairs In this city. "It will give us cheaper gas and electricity,” wrote George H. Holliday, who Is In the dental supply business at 10 Grant building. Affscts Real Estats. James L. Logan, a real estate dealer of 16 South Broad street, spoke truly when he made application for member, ship and said: "It costs only 40 cents to moke gas." "It Is a good thing, wrote W. H Allen, a real estate dealer of It South Broad street, while Burgess Smith, a former member of council, who Is a merchant at’ 12-14-14 Trinity avenue, wrote, "There seems to be no other al tentative." Jacob Buchannen, a merchant of 10 West Mlchell street, says "I believe the city and the citizens will be greatly benefited," while W. Riley, of 447 Kdgpwoml avenue. Insists that the street railways should be municipally ned, or at least controlled. ■I am with you first and last," wrote E. V. < ulbreafh, a salesman for Kelly Brothers, wholesale grocers, and Mr. ulhreath displays the spirit necessary t success. W. H. Roan, a grocer of 434 Edge- ood avenue, and W. B. Parr, of 311 Highland avenue, both want the street railway* to be municipally owned. Even Two Dozen New Members. Betides these eleven members who for the Fifth regiment. This has the Indorsement of Mayor Woodward and other prominent and public-spirited men of Atlanta. Mayor Woodward Is emphatic In his stq.cment that on arm ory l.i needed. He Incorporated It as a plank In Ills platform two year* ago, but up to this time no active move ment for an armory has besn begun. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson, command ing the Fifth regiment, Is one of the foremost Indorsers of tbe 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 citizens 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 lime and risk their live* for the city. We have Just seen the value of the military to the com munity. But the men were handicapped because they • had no central hall .at whlrh to assemble. "When we.bulld on 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 Hnd give It definite shape and the In-eoinlng administration ran take It up and carry It to success.” Colonsl Clifford Anderson. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson ha* of ten appealed for un armory for his reg- Iment and the recent call for the troops has made him even more Insistent In his demands for a home for his men. He said: “It would have been of great service If the members of alt the companies could have been mustered at a central armory Saturday night. They were forced to go to their own armories, such ns they are, and await Instruc tions. If nil the officer* anil men hnd been under one roof much time would have been gained and eusy communi cation established. The recent outbreak has demon strated ,the need of a central armory. The men were drawn to regimental headqunrters and slept on the street— on the hnrd Belgian block pavement. No mnn of them all raised un 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 entral part of the city though he makes no suggestions as to the best FOR SALE!
