1t will be seen that the transmission
of power is not SO very novel. On the
other hand it is becoming quite COM
mon in all parts of the world. There is
only one Niagara, however, and while
the power developments at the Falls are
not likely to be exceeded in any part OF
the world it's successful transmission,
city after it gets here, has been demon
at ted to be entirely practicable.

Georgia,s Women,s Clubs.

Georgia decidedly takes the lend In
the South in the matter of women's clubs
The idea OF women cooperating to inspire
and carry out reforms not only on domes-
tic and intellectual lines but In city aud
state government AMI in school and farm
ing interests has spread over the state
sud resulted in a women's club in ever y
the state federation ara in constant COM
municetion with each other and working
tremendously together while keeping
their own individuality.
The Atlanta WomeE's club is partiou-
larly individual, indeed it is unique in
the breadth of it's social platform. Com
posed of WON Ell of the highest social
position it was said Of itwhen it was or
ganizsd that it was the fad of jaded So
Getty women and would soon die out or
degenerate into form Of frivolous
amusement; instead of which, it has prov
ed the boldesG advocate of social de-
mocracy-leveling all lines created solely
by fashion, neal5h or position. Its HAT
form calls for cooperation and comrade-
ship baGed upon mental capacity and
moral worth. One OF the leading mem
bers laid down this principle emphati-
cally at recent meeting.
"A woman's rank socially adds little to
her value in club. She must stand
there on her own merits, and the woman
who is distinguished in her Glib is the
one who has Thoughts and studied and is
reliable and faithful to her obligations.
The only aristocraoy in women s olubdoni
is the arlstocraoy of brains and character,
and little as it may be appreciated, right
here in q little corner in the later half
of the nineteenth century we are devel-
oping prototype. though miniature 1t
may seem, of Plato's ideal republic.

A SERIES OF FIGHTS.
Two Well Known Birmingham Young
Men and a Drummer Have an
All-Day Fighting Scrap.

Two well known young men of the city
and travelling man became involved in
an affray or rather series of fights yes
terday. The first trouble is said to have
originated in house of ill-repute over
one of the inmates. For a time the men
refrained from violence. They met later
in a saloon on Second avenue and Twen-
ty-third street, where the travelling man
claims to have been assaulted by the
other two. He called for a policeman
and preferred charges against his as
Sailants.
officer Johnson went to the saloon and,
while engaged in preparing the bonds
with his back to the two city men, they
again assaulted the drummer and beat
him up considerably. All three were ar
rested for fighting in the city limits, but
they made the necessary bonds and were
not locked up. The first fight occurred
about 11:30 O'Clock and the second one
just before IL at noon.
Later on, last night, the men were
walking along the street near the opera
house, when one of the citizens and the
drummer engaged in fight No. 8. The
other Birmingham boy is said to have
stood off and roundly cursed and tongue
lashed the travelling man. He will be
tried for disorderly conduct this morning
in a separate case.
One of the city aldermen Is said to have
seen the last affray and will appear
in court as a witness for the city. The
men are said to have been drinking all
day and were very drunk last night.

TO APPEAL FROM DECISION
Attorney General McKenna In
structS a District Attorney
THE BOARD OF MANAGERS
Of the Joint Traffic Association Will Make a
fight-Wthdrawals Now In Order
Chairman Morrison Talks.

Washington, d. c., March 25-Attorney
General McKenna has directed District
Attorney McFariane of New York to take
an appeal from the decision of the cir
cult court Of appeals delivered at New
York last Friday, in favor of the Joint
Traffic association, composed of eastern
trunk lines.
This case is closely allied to that of
the trnnsMfssouri Freight associat ton, in
which the United States supreme court
last Monday held that the antitrust law
was constitutional. The same questions
are involved as in the trans Missouri case
with the addition that the Joint Traffic
association is charged with violation of
the anti-poolng clause of the Interstate
commerce act. The circuit court of ap-
pealS held that the United States had
no right to go into court in an attempt to
dissolve the association under either the
antitrust or interstate commerce acts
1t is contended at the department of JUS
tice that even the dissenting opinion of
the supreme court did not suS.ain points
susta ined by the circuit court of appeals
When the papers in the appeal arrive
here the attorney general will ask the
supreme court TO advance the case so
that it can be heard at the present term.

try. The bill had its defects and he did
not think it would bring prosperity with
out supplemental financial legislation.
Revenue, in his opinion, sufficient to sup
ply deficiencies could be sustained by
reducing by one-third of the salaries of
all government employees or by proper
income tax.
Mr.. Myers, democrat. of Louisiana,
said that some of the duties inferred
by the bill might be erroneous and ex-
cessiye, but as a representative of Louis
lana, representing great and suffering
interest he should support the sugar
schedule.
Other speakers in favor of the bill were
MessIs. Howe, republican, of New York
Reeve and Prince, republicans, of IL
linois; Bartholdt. republican, of Missouri;
Hamilton, republican, of Mississippi, and
Crumpacker, republican, of Indiana;
and against 1t were Messrs. Settle demo-
crat, of Kentucky; Campbell. democrat,
of Illinois; Gaines, democrat, of Ken
tucky; Ridgeley, populist, of Kansas, and
Fitzgerald, democrat, of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Barrows, republican, of Massachu-
sets, presented the protest of the Mas
sachusetts Library club against any tax

ALL VESSELS LIABLE
To a Rigid Examination as to Their
Cargoes When in Cretan
Waters.

London, March 25.-In the house of
commons today Right Hon. George N.
Curzon under foreign secretary, said
in reply to an inquiry on the subject,
that British and American merchantmen
and vessels of the same class of other
nationalities consigned to agents at ports
in Crete, were liable to be searched,
should they attempt to reach their des-
tinations despite the blockade of the
island, and would also run the risk of
being prevented from delivering their
cargoes, at the discretion of the admirals
commanding the foreign warships in
Cratan waters. The blockade, Mr. Cur
Zon said, was a measure of police en-
forced with the consent of the sovereign
power.
Mr.. Curzon also said that Sir Philip
Currie, British ambassador at Constan-
tinople, had been instructed to urge upon
the representatives of the powers, as
well as upon the porte, the idea that the
withdrawal of the Turkish troops from
Crete would greatly facilitate the with
drawal of the Greeks from the island.
