COURT UPHOLDS
HANSON s WILL

The attempt of Mrs. Fannie Hanson
White and Mrs. Estelle c. Hanson to
break the will of the late Major ]. F,
Hanson, which disposed of property
valued at between 100000 and $1,000
coo. was proved unavailing when today
the state supreme court rendered a de-
cision declaring the will valid
Mrs. White is Major Hanson's daugh-
ter Mrs. Hanson his daughter law.
Major J, F. Hanson. of Macon and At
lanta, was president of the Central Of
Georgia railroad.
The grounds of attack on the will
was. first. that it was not a bona flde
document; second, that it was the re-
suit of Misrepresentation and undue
influence exerted by another daughter
Of the testator, Mrs. Annie Hanson Gar
rett
In the will. Mrs Cora l.. Hanson,
the testator's wife, from whom he was
estranged; Mrs. Annie Fletcher Gar

which went to Mrs Annie Hanson Gar

her son. John f. Hanson. Jr.
A reminiscence Of the affinity of GER

LOVE 'ANT|DOTE'
CERTAIN T0CURE
Tilted Swain Says Make Girl
Sufficiently Mad to Have
You Arrested.

Joe Schannop, 20 years old, from I'm
ion City has a love-balm receipt which
he declared today will cure the most
desperate case, without the usual dis
astrous effects. He says, Let the girl
have you arrested so you can be real
angry with her. and thereafter you
will love her no more; but you will
surely love another. and to the utter
exclusion of the first"
Joe sprang his unique love theory
before Judge Broyles in the police court
yesterday afternoon and the Judge de-
clared: You're right, Joe; there are
more Ash in the sea than were ever
caught out OF it. Go forth and get you
another girl"
Miss Russie Jacobs, seventeen years
old. of 10 Wellborn street, was the OBJ
ject of Joe's affection. He had loved
her long and in vain, until Tuesday
night he decided that the parting Of the
ways, the last straw, had come. He
took his pen in hand and wrote Russie
a love note. reiterating oft repeated
protestations, and winding UP with a
threat to steal her away. Going to the
house, he handed the girl the note,
turned on his heel and walked away.
Then she had him arrested, because the
naissive said Read when your head is
not hurting, and answer, or you'll SURE
ly be kidnapped
Miss Jacobs is not unusually tinror-
Gus, but she declared to Judge Broyles
that Joe was man of his word and
she wanted him in the tolls of the law,
to which Joe replied with smile and
then laugh: Jaw, l was only foolin'
about the kidnapin'. l wouldn't hurt
her. But l loved her so much, judge,
that it hurt me a whole lot, and
threatened to steal her away just to
make her mad with me. She didn't
care a thing for me, and now I'm cured.
I'm ready to try conclusions with an
other girl
Judge Broyles dismissed the case. Joe
said he would go back home. and Miss
Jacobs turned and walked away with
her real sweetheart. Frank Carroll, a
youth of the Wellborn street neighbor-
hood, who had stood by at the hearing,
anxiously waiting to see what choice

SOUTHERNER FOR
WELFARE" CHIEF
Louisiana Woman Is Supported
for Appointment as Bureau
Head Under Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-Mrs. Rob
ert G. Wtckliffe. the fairy godmother of
Louisiana children, wants to be god
mother TO the children of the nation,
and is being enthusiastically sup
ported for the head of the Children's
Welfare bureau when President elect
Wilson makes the anticipated change
in this post.
Miss Julia Lathrop, the incumbent
has many friends working for her
to retain the position, but Mrs
Wickliffe has succeeded in obtaining
the Endorsement of congressman, SEN
ators and governors of all political
creeds Mrs. Wickliffe is the widow of
the late representative from Louisiana,
and has been prominent in the activi-
ties of congressional and Democratic
women.
The question appears to revolve about
the problem whether a mother knows
more about the health welfare and up
bringing of children than an unmar-
ried woman with necessarily second
hand knowledge, however well inten-
toned and trained in social settlement
work
Mrs. Wickliffe, who is a Kentuckian
and prominent in social circles of the
South and the capital, was the origi-
nator Of the famous Dolly Madison
breakfast for Democratic women last
spring. Her life has not been spent
in social pursuits, however, for she
has given special care and attention
to the treatment of babies, especially
those of the poorer classes.

Two little maids, bearing the tas-
sells Of a magnificent banner carried
by Mrs. Mary McLendon, pioneer suf-
fragette of Georgia, sang the para
phrased Dixie coon song as they
marched before the members of At
lanta's Civic club and showed how in
the big suffrage parade in Washington
next week they will call attention to
the Georgia division in that great
pageant.
Following the white dressed little
girls came Miss Catherine Koch car
rying the slogan banner, Votes for
Women in 1915'-a huge yellow flag
with the prophetic letters done in black,
Miss koch's tassel bearers were Miss
Mamie Mathews and Miss Pierce, both
ardent young suffragettes of this city.
List Not Made Up.
The suffragettes met yesterday to
compile the list of those going TO Wash
ington to take place in the great suf-
frage parade. On account Of the fact
that the several members of the Civic
Northern trip, no list of those who will
march was made public.
However, the Atlanta advocates of
votes for women did one big piece of
business at their meeting. They de-
clared that they are not militant, do not
countenance militant tactics in secur-
ing the vote, and abhor violence m
connection with the suffrage movement
the world over.
The suffragettes expressed their
opinion of ck-finging methods in a
resolution drawn up and presented by
Mrs. Margaret r. McWhorter, which
passed the meeting unanimously.
Over Score to Make Trip.
They also passed a vote of thanks to
Miss Susan Mcclellan, who designed
the banners to be carried in the Wash
ington parade and made two of the es-
cutcheons with her own hands.
1t is said that the majority of those
who will take part in the capital pa
rade will leave Atlanta Saturday. 1t is
also said that the number of those leav-
ing will probably exceed a score of well
known women.
