ACTRESSES DEMAND RIGHTS
AT ENGLAND'S HIGHEST COURTS

lief spread broadcast really did actual dam
age to her reputation.
Miss Millers husband is Lionel Monck-
ton musical composer of high standing.
and he, too was aroused to intense anger.
Miss Miller went into court for redress.
She based her complaint charge of
libel, and counsel represented the picture
as doing her a grave injustice.
Justice Darling heard the case without
managing to share the plaintiffs indigna-
ton. In fact he quite took the other view
of the case, and instructed the jury that
he could find no sign of libel.
This is a very decollette age" was the
substance of the judges charge; "a time
when everybody, from queens down are
shown in evening clothes, and frequently
in costumes not even SO conventional"
He could see nothing to complain about
in the photographs, and the ungallant jury
promptly gave verdict for the Dunns.
Little did the judge know what a storm
he was bringing down on his head.
Other actresses took sides with the de-
feated complainant, and began talk of
taking the decision higher up in the hope
of getting a reversal.
Some of these were actuated by the same
motive that Miss Miller had, a desire to
protect themselves against being pictured
n all sorts of doubtful positions.
~
Edna May belonged to this class. Her
beautiful face had been attached to a va
riety of bodies In one she was shown on
a rock by the sea, pulling off her-yes, her
stockings 1t was her head that had been
used, but another woman had lent her body
for the stockings part of the picture.
Miss May says that this was unwarrant-
ed, and would cause disrespectful comment
to be passed on her by those who thought
the picture q faithful representation of a
posture she had taken.
After this picture, according to Miss May,
nothing need prevent the putting of an
actress head on the statue of Venus de
Milo. which would be a most shocking pro-
ceeding.
Other actresses looked at the whole mat
ter from a financial standpoint, and felt
their grievance from it's money loss rather
than the danger of being improperly pic
tured.
She who was Miss Camille Clifford, but
who lately married English lord, took
up the cudgel vigorously with the argu-
ment that if an actress or any woman, for
that matter, possessed beauty that was

right to the accruing returns. She was

- NGLANDS highest courts must soon
IL decide raging controversy and
tell whether an actress has a
ID right to her own head.
Lower courts have decided that
she has no control of it; that is, after hav-
ing permitted it to be photographed. Once
she faces the camera, the result becomes
public property and other artists and pho
tographers can make whatever use they
please of her features.
The result is sure to be a notable war
fare, and to attract the attention of noted
beauties the world over, for with one voice
the women of Englands dramatic profess
sion have agreed that the decision does
them a great injustice. In the appeal to
the upper courts soon to be made they will
demand right to control the printing of
their pictures
Justice Darling has the credit of starting
the row, which he did in suit brought
by Gertie Miller against Dunn & Co., pub
fishers of pictorial post cards.
This firm manufactures millions of the
cards that are now such a rage all over
the world but particularly in Europe. They
found that the demand for the photograph
Of actresses exceeded that for any other
kind of Illustration.
Thenceforth their printing presses turned
they could print were quickly sold. and the
demand of the public for new faces still
continued.
+
In this juncture it occurred to one of the
designers that a picture of Gertie Miller,
scantily clad in a night robe and shown
creeping from an eggshell, might be a hit.
Unfortunately no one could find an egg
shell big enough to accommodate the pro-
portions of Miss Miller, nor would she have
been willing to pose in such liberal garb,
even had one been obtainable.
In this dilemma Dunn & Co. found a girl
who was less sensitive than Miss Miller,
and had her to do the night robe pose.
Then a head of Miss Miller was fitted to
the creeping body, and the result looked for
the world as though the actress had posed
for the picture.
Before the enterprislng photographer had
a chance to reap the profits of his good
idea, a storm broke loose Miss Miller was
shocked, taking violent exception to the
manufactured picture, and demanded salts

Her plea was that the average person I'M

LOOKS LIKE A START
WILL BE MADE SOON
Americas May See Work on
New Postoflce.

There is just a bare possibility that
little children, particularly those born
yesterday may, at a ripe old age, see
a start made upon the Government
building in Americas. 1t was stated
in official circles yesterday that an
engineer had been employed to sur
vey the lot which the Treasury De-
partment purchased last year, and
this is taken as an indication that
something is to be done in the future
as well as in the past Uncle Sam is
terribly slow in whatever he does, but
he has bought and paid for a $4,000
lot in Americas, and by the time his

and the stripes fade in his wellworn
suit, he will build a postoffice upon
it.

DECREASE IN SALE OF
DOPE IN AMERICAS
Under New State Law the De
mand Falls Off.

Americas "dopers" are less impor-
tunate, in their demands for the stuff
just now, due principally to the fact
that under the new state law, it is
not to be had any more except upon
the prescription of a reputable ply
stefan.
And this prescription is good for
the one time, and one day.
There is no handing back of the
prescription to the patient, to be
used on the next trip to the dope
barrel. Such scheme might be worked
elsewhere, but not here.
Many people think there should
have been more time allowed for the
habitual users to prepare for it. The
sales just preceding the day that the
law became effective W ere heavy,
and many bought up a supply that
will last them several weeks.
u caught large per cent of them
unawares and they have been suffer-
ing considerably since their dope was
cut off.
AS soon as things have time to
adjust themselves the habituaI users
will order from North and South
Carolina and Florida. 1t is a peculiar
thing about dope fiend, that he will
never own that he wants the medi-
cine for himself
He always wants it for an aunt or
an uncle or somebody else besides
himself.

WILL SELL THE
DAVIS LANDS
Tracts Given by Friends May
Soon Change Hands.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, Sept A.
Thousands of acres of land decided to
Jefferson Davis during the life time
of the President of the Confederacy,
and left by him to his wife, who died
last year, will, it is believed, soon be
sold in several Southern States to
satisfy heirs of the Davis estate
Shortly after the close of the civil
war many ofthe Southern sympa-
thizers, who had saved part of their
fortune, decided property to Jefferson
Davis. One of the biggest tracts was
turned over by Mrs. Elizabeth Dor
sey, a wealthy woman, owning a mag
nificent plantation near Pine Bluff
Mrs. Dorsey also gave Mr.. Davis the
Beauvoir home in Mississippi Dur
ing the lifetime of Mr., Davis and Mrs
Davis, they refused to sell.
The Pine Bluff property, amounting
to nearly 5000 acres, is to be sub
divided and sold in parts to suit the
purchaser.

HORSE ISA
TOBACCO CHEWER
Clayton Mans Beast Also Is q
Heavy Drinker.

CLAYTON, N. j., Sept 4.-Harry
Evan has fine black horse, but it is
addicted to bad habits. 1t is an in
evitable tobacco CHECKER. And it is al
most impossible to drive it past a
hotel without treating it to a glass of
beer or a whiskey.
The horse seems to prefer the beer,
takes it from the pail without spilling
a drop and ticks out the pail. Mr..
Evan can't imagine where the horse
learned its bad habits and says it is
often very embarrassing, especially
when he has ladies in his carriage.
On his way to church Sunday, the
horse stopped in front of the hotel
and it took some time to convince
him that he could not get a drink on
Sunday.

MARKET ADVANCES FIFTEEN POINTS

An advance of fifteen points in cot
ton values yesterday put the price in
Americas warehouses back to 1875
cents, and the demand from buyers
at this figure was good enough. All
offerings of good cotton here are very
readily accepted.
Over 275 bales were received yes
terday at local warehouses.
While the rain for two days past
has interfered somewhat with pick
ing, the harvesting of the crops is
going forward rapidly and over 1000
bales will come here this week.
Distressing reports continue to
come in from all parts of the sur
rounding territory in regard to the
effect of the present drouth on the
cotton crop.
The young cotton bolls that are not
more than half matured are opening
very fast and the lint is of course
no good, while forms are dropping off
by the thousands every day, the
ground underneath the stalks being
covered with them.
Three weeks ago a splendid crop
of cotton was in sight, but the con-
tinued dry weather has changed the
conditions to an alarming extent.
The outlook is indeed a gloomy
one to what it was a month ago and
where there was the best indications
of fine crop the changed conditions
foretell only a third of what was
then expected.
These conditions appear to be gen.
eral all over Georgia

COAST LINE IN PLIGHT
IN FIGHT ON RATES
Finds Itself in a PrediC-
=. dment
RE GARDING TRUE MARKET VALUE
As Flied By Arbitration for Taxation
@t Really Seems the Reduced
Rate Will Have to
Stand.
REGARDING TRUE MARKET VALUE

ATLANTA, Sept. 1.-The Atlantic
Coast Line, which recently instituted
proceedings in the United States court
in Atlanta, seeking an injunction
against the state railroad commission,
to prevent its enforcement of the IA
passenger rate, as applied to that
line of road, will find itself up against
an unanswerable proposition, appar-
emily, when the market value of its
property, as fixed by arbitration for
taxation, is brought in evidence.
Under the law the road can only
earn dividends on the true market
value of its property, and now that
the road claims that the 2 IA cent
rate is unreasonable and does not
| permit a fair earning, they will, be
confronted with their own figures.
If the state can show that the roads
earn a fair return on $15,571, 900,
which it is claimed will be done, the
2 IA rate will stand.
The arbitration of the Coast Line
was the first big one to be held under
the provisions of the Alexander law
which requires all arbiters and UNI
pires to take an oath to make their
| assessments of railroad properties
upon the actual market value of the
property under consideration. The
new law, as intended, will go long
ways towards getting at the market
value of the railroad properties for
| taxation.
Heretofore the state has been unable
to reach to its satisfaction many of
| these lines.
