Atlanta clubwomen have inaugu-
rated a movement for a city beauti-
full, following an address by Mrs. w.
+. Pattillo to the City Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Having just returned from a trip
abroad, Mrs. Pattillo discussed Euro
pean methods of beautifying munici-
palities. to which she devoted con-
siderable time and study. and gave
vivid descriptions of results as she
saw them. She selected for her sub
jeCt, How other Cities Are Made
beautiful and Attractive" and
sought to interest the Clubwomen of
Atlanta in cooperative measures
which have transformed continental
cities into veritable gardens.
Atlanta is one of the dirtiest
places / have seen," Mrs. pattillo said,
as she Contrasted the city with other
places she had visited in Europe and
America. Then she described the
city's natural advantages and asked
the Clubwomen to concentrate their
efforts toward developing them. Her
auditors, representing 81 clubs with
S 900 members, expressed pleasure at
her remarks and pledged themselves
to work together to carry out her sug
gestions. 1t was evident TO all present
that Atlanta will be made a city
beautiful if her Clubwomen have the
necessary influence.
Industrial Home Suggested.
Civic movements received most at
tention at the hands of the Fedora
ton members. Prominent among
them was a report of the committee
on resolutions, made by Mrs. James
jackson, containing a recommended
ton for the establishment of an in
dustrial home for hayward girls. The
Federation Endorsed the resolution
and announced its intention of petit
tioning the Georgia Legislature TO es-
tabHsh the home. Atlanta will be
suggested as the proper site for the
home.

7 Years Enough to
Finish School, Says
President Judson

CHICAGO. June 7.-Shortening OF
the grammar scnooI, high school and
college courses in order to put young
men and women into business and
other activities at an early age was
advocated to-day by Harry Pratt
Judson, president of the University Of
Chicago. the only witness summoned
before the Illinois Senate White Slave
Committee hearings to-day
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara, ques-
tioning President Judson, asked:
How long is it after a young man
leaves college before he is financially
able to marry?"
About three or four years" re-
piled President Judson.
DO you think the shortening of the
courses in schools would make the
young man earlier efficient?"
Yes, especially in the case of the
young man who is going into bust
ness. | believe a boy or girl should
spend about seven years going
through the grades and high school
l believe it will ultimately be made
six years instead of twelve, as at
present, There are too many things
taught in the high schools. They
fritter away too much time The first
university year is a repetition of high
school work"
President JudsOn continued:
Z owe my education to the fact
that l ran away from my teachers
while / was still young enough to
learn something. l think the last two
wears of the present high school
course should be devoted to training
students for active business life"

Shaggy Intruder ROuts Crew St,
Household, Who Then Call
on Police for Help,

Call Officers Jones and Anderson
had just consumed their early morn
ing eye opener-coffee-a police
headquarters Saturday morning
shortly before o'clock when the tel
ephone bell rang.
An excited voice came over the
wires: This is 1877 Crew Street"
sputtered the voice. "A burglar is
walking around in our parlor, and
he won't leave! Please send a po-
liceman!"
So Officers Jones and Anderson.
bristling with weapons and determi-
nation, boarded their trusty motor
cycles and hurried to the scene.
Mrs. NJ. E. Brown, who lives at the
Crew Street address, met them at the
door and told them the tale. She had
been awakened from a sound sleep
by noise in the parlor, as of some
one walking. She listened, and the
stealthy tread grew - louder. She
screamed, but the burglar calmly con-
tinued parading over the Administer
rugs and showing aside the furni-
ture.
"In There Yet"
Listen" she said; hes in there
yeti"
Sure enough, the sound of the bur-
glars footsteps were plainly heard.
Agnast at the effrontery of the bur-
glar, the officers made their plans.
OFFICER Anderson drew his revolver
and went to the back door to catch
the marauder when he ran out, and
Officer Jones frightened his belt, and
drew his revolver. Calmly looking
down the muzzle to see If II was
loaded, he stalked into the house, and
entered the parlor He flashed his
searchlight and exclaimed:
Hands up, you!"
Bow wow" calmly remarked the
burglar, and continued his prowling.
The officer, astounded, moved
stealthrly forward and touched the
shadowy form. His hands came in
contact with the hair of a large and
inquisitive canine, which had come in
through an open window and calmly
taken possession Of the parlor.
Burglar" Is Shot.
So disguised were the officers that
they took the dog out into the street
and killed him with their trusty guns
The presence Of the bold burglar
who didn't care how much noise he
made, and the firing of the officers
guns, threw the neighborhood into
fever Of excitement, which changed to
laughter when the real cause of the
furore became known.

dous surprise TO the prosecution, or
whether something Of the magnitude
and scope Of It has leaked through to
the Solicitor and the police within the
past "a hours. is problematiCal.
The sudden Clamping down OF the
ia al detective headquarters and the
announcement that no more taking
would be done there, either for the
state or anybody else, is viewed by
many as a circumstance tending to
show that the State at last has come
to a full realization Of the fact that
Franks defense will be thorough and
complete in detail
Whereas up to yesterday any sort
OF an interview might be had for the
asking of the detective, to-day moth
ing whatever may be had.
As silent as the defense has been, II
has nothing by way Of silence on the
State TO-DAY.
Franks Character.
Franks previous good character

its OF life and his everyday methods
Of conducting himself will be thrown
fearlessly into the scales.
II has been determined for him 10
