DISGRACE To
THE COUNTRY
Says Congressman Tavener, Noted
Washington Correspondent, of
Mob That Insuited Women.

Washington, March l7-More votes
were made for women suffrage in the
city of Washington on the afternoon of
March 3, than will perhaps ever be made
again in the same length of time so long
as the government stands.
Reports of the treatment accorded re-
spectacle women-respectable mothers,
respectable wives, respectable daughters
while they were conducting themselves
in an unofensive and digniied and
entirely respectable manner, have not
been exaggerated
The scenes were a positive disgrace to
the beautiful avenue in which they oc-
curred-Pennsylvania aavenue-made his
toric by Abraham Lincoln and host of
other great Americans; a disgrace to
Washington and to the Nation.
What American is not made ashamed
by the thought that in the very heart of
the capital of our country, boasted of as
our model American city" aged wo-
men, as old as 81 years, in whose gray
hair and wrinkled faces there was GER
tainly nothing to jeer at-that these old
ladies should be deserted by the police in
the midst of crowd offering hoodlums.
This is no exaggeration. Such scenes,
more's the pity, actually took place. 1t
was thing to make the blood boil in
every man that has respect for his
mother, his wife and his sister. It is
not matter of whether woman suffrage
is right or wrong; it is a matter of
whether respectable women shall have
the same kind of protection as men in
the public thoroughfare, and whether all
respect for womanhood has been aban-
doned.
The writer with his wife, occupied two
seats in the market grandstand on Penn
sylvania avenue. Although there were
tens of thousands in the street, we never
saw more than six policemen at one time
during the period that the parade was
passing. There were periods of ten and
fifteen minutes when not single pol
iceman was in sight, in which intervals
the crowd completely blocked the woman
marchers, taunting and jeering them,
crowding against them, catching the
brides of the horses, and making mo-
tions as if to grab the marchers by their
arms. There were no police to protect
the women, but when it was desired to
run street car through the throng, a
Gordon ofno less than 80 policemen ap-
peared to escort it. And IT went
through!

The Aldermen voted to refer the
matter to City Solicitor Adams, with
instructions to draft such an ordi-
nance.

Through Army
Road to Tybee
Plan Is Revived
Chamber of Commerce Will Be
Asked to Urge Federal
Appropriation.

SAVANNAH, July 5.-The PROPOSE
ton to build a through highway from
Savannah to Tybee, making it mill
tary turnpike doubtless will be re-
vived at the July meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce. Arthur w
Solomon, a director in the Chamber
and secretary Of the Savannah Auto
mobile Club. viii bring the matter up
for consideration.
Two routes were considered a year
ago. One was via Wilmington Is
land, making the turnpike contin-
uation to Tybee, with a ferry as a
means of crossing Wilmington River.
The other scheme was to have the
road parallel the Tybee branch of the
Central of Georgia Railway, which
would reduce the number of streams
to be crossed and make it possible for
the same bridges used by the railroad
to be used for the highway.
Under the old scheme ii was plan
ned to have the road built by pri-
waite parties in cooperation with the
Federal Government. 1t now IS
planned to have the matter taken up
by Chatham County's Representatives
in Congress. with the idea of secur-
ing the passage of a bill appropriat-
ing money to defray the cost Of con-
struCting the road.

City and Private Company Strive
for Supremacy-Bond EIec-
ton to End Fight,
BIRMINGHAM CASH INVESTED
Municipal Plant Aim of Business
Mems CIub-Company Gets
Favored Site on River.

COLUMBUS, July 5.-For the past
warfare between the city Of Column
bus and the Columbus Waterworl1s
Company, but with the approach Of
another waterworks bond campaign
the outlook is that the end is near
for it generally is admitted that the
whole question will be settled one way
or the other with the election to be
held October IS.
The waterworks situation in Co
lumbus is interesting. For several
years there has been no contract be-
tween the city and the company, be-
cause of litigation, but an old con-
tract is serving.
Eleven years ago the city voted a
$685. bond issue with which to put
in waterworks system, but the
bonds never were sold and more than
100000 worth have expired by limi-
tation, but during that time there has
been constant litigation on between
the city and the waterworks compa-
ny, which also has been wrestling
with the bankruptcy courts.
Three Birmingham, Ala, capitalists
John B, Weakley, Eugene Flies and
w. c. Hamilton-last fall purchased
the old Columbus Waterworks Com
pany and changed its name to the
Columbus Water Supply Company
They purchased recently 100000
worth Of piping and other materia'
to be used in improving its system
Now the City Council has come Coz
ward with a waterworks bond issue
for $450,000 IS, which, il they car
~, are to be used in building mu-
nicipal waterworks system. The city
has gone a step further and refused
to grant the waterworks company
permission to lay any other mains In
the city, after the company had pur-
chased an immense amount Of piping
ranging from 10 to IS inches.
The old waterworks bondhOlders
were scattered throughout the North
and East, and among the number who
had stock in the plant was a daugh-
ter of General Robert z. Lee. Not
any were people of wealth, but nj
we're well known, and as result Of
the failure of the waterworks sys-
tenn and the continued litigation
many had their small fortunes swept
away.
A Municipal Ownership Club has
been organized by business men OF
Columbus and it will conduct vigor-
Gus campaign to carry the bonds.
w. 0. Johnson has been made per-
manent secretary, while T. E. Golden,
president Of the Golden Foundry ana
Machine Shops, is president. OfhceS
have been established and general
publicity campaign will begin at once.
It has been practically demon
strated that there is only one source
of water supply-the Chattahoochee
River-and the Columbus Water Sup
ply Company has recently come IN
possession of the most available place
for a settling basin. 1t is prooapLe
t6a+ If the bond issue carries there
will be further litigation.
In the meantime the water analysis
at present shows that the river Is af-
fording the best water that the city
has ever enjoyed.
