Demands for 100000 Club"
EmbIems Come From All Sec
tons Of the Country.

Should Atlanta fail to register that
100000 population in 1920 it will be
through no fault of the boosters who
are demanding The Georgian ana
American buttons from all parts of
the State.
From North. East, South and West
the demand comes, until it has be-
come necessary to place rush" orders
with the manufacturers of the but
tons. In short, everybody's doing it
that is wearing a booster button.
Perhaps the most enthusiastic
boosters are the Atlanta youngsters
who take great pride in wearing the
buttons Hundreds Of men and wom-
en- boosters also have lined up in the
big campaign and are showing their
Colors by wearing booster buttons.
The buttons. according to Atlantans
who have returned from their vaca-
tions, are to be seen in various parts
of the country already, Including New
York and Philadelphia Wherever
they go they tell of Atlan'a's great
ness as well as it's aspirations to be

JUDGE ROAM NOT
To HEAR FRANK
TRIAL MOTION
Four Superior Judges Will Elect
One of Their Number to
Pass on Plea.

The puzzle 1 nregard to the judge
who will hear the motion for a new
trial for Leo NJ Frank, as well as
the date of the converting of the new
branch of the Atlanta Superior Court,
was cleared up somewhat Monday
when it became known on good au-
thority that Judge Ben Hill, appoint
ed to the new judgeship, would tender
his resignation as Judge Of the Court
of Appeals on October IL.
Should the motion for a new trial
in the Frank case be pending at that
time, following a possible postpone
ment on October 4, it may be heard
by any one of the four Superior
Court judges-Judge Pendleton, Judge
Ellis, Judge Bell or Judge Hill
The rumor that Judge Hill would
hear the motion in view of the fact
that he is exchanging places with
Judge Roam, who goes to the Court
of Appeals, was set at rest following
authoritative information that the
four judges of the Superior Court
Will confer, according to custom, and
decide which one shall hear the Frank
motion
According to all indications one of
these judges actually Wfll hear the
Frank motion instead Of Judge Roam,
who will assume his new duties on
the Court of Appeals bench imme-
diately following the resignation of
Judge Hill on October IL

Man Arrested For
Joke on Monkeys at
The Zoo FleeS Trial

c. ]. Hawse, a travelling salesman
who was spending Sunday in Atlanta,
rode out to Grant Park and sought to
entertain himself by teaching the
monkeys in the zoo to smoke cigar
cites.
He threw seevral lighted cigarettes
into the big cage, and the monkeys,
probably mistaking them for elongat-
ed peanuts. started a scramble. Then
began a riot of chatter and screeches.
The terrified monkeys stampeded IN
wild disorder, while Hawse and the
crowd howled.
When the case was called. however,
he failed to answer. Inquiry at the
hotel where he had been stopping
brought the information that he had
business elsewhere, had paid his bill,
and gone. He was marked in con-
tempt of court.
Policemen Louis Whitley and
Greer made a case of disorderly con-
duct against Hawse for tOrmenting
the monkeys, and cited him to APP
pear before Recorder Broyles Monday
morning.

Capt, Clayton Plans
New u. S. Banner to
Include Dixie Flag

Captain r. NJ. Clayton, whose 10y
atty to the lost cause Of the South
is so great that he has designed and
submitted a new United States flag
that will include the Stars and Bars"
as well as the Stars and Stripes"
Monday bewailed the fact that the
anniversary of the battle of Chicka-
manga Park, the most sanguinary of
the Civil War, passed Saturday with
out being mentioned by an Atlanta
newspaper.
In that battle fought for the most
part on Georgia soil, $4,000 men were
killed and wounded" he said. 1T
took place on September 20, 1868, and
100000 men were engaged.
The only way | see for Atlanta
and Georgia to make up for this over
sight is to celebrate the jubilee an

MAYOR IS IN NEW
WAR AGAINST
CHARTER
Nutting, in Searching Statement,
Calls Woodward "Hard Head"
and SCOTS "Ring" Charge.
Continued from Page I,

Gates that the counter attack will be
even more spirited than Mayor Wood
wards
THE card signed by Mayor Wood
ward is a ridiculous political canard. -
said Alderman Nutting He claimed
there was a ring IN charge OF the
CITY government when he ran for
Mayor and IT seemed to take with
some people. So he IS working the
charge to death.
Practically the whole city govern
ment organization is opposed to
Mayor Woodward's policies Nearly
every member Of Council who sup
ported him al the hrst Of the year
has been forced to turn against him.
Calls Him lizard Headed"
For him to charge that there Is
a ring because Council won't do as
he wants It to Is like the twelfth man
on a Jury who held out against the
other eleven and declared that they
were eleven Of the hardest headed
men he ever saw.
THE letter is reeking with absurd
statements. The points attacked most
vigorously are in passages copied YER
batim from the old charter.
Council is given no more power
under the new charter than IN has
under the present one. The charge
iarity with the form Of government
our city now is running under or is
a deliberate attempt to plant misin
formation.
Council is given the same author
ity over subordinate officials II has
under the present charter
Hits Sanitary Tax Attack.
"A great hullabaloo mas been made
over the repeal OF the sanitary tax.
They charge that a fee system is be-
ing substituted.
1.-TWO minutes study will convince
one that there is no basis for that
charge. 1t is not just for a down
town hotel TO pay the same sanitary
tax that a little cottage In the Fifth
Ward pays Therefore the new char
ter abolishes the SO sanitary tax.
Council is given the same author
ity to levy fees under the new charter
that is provided under the old. Coun-
Gil generally is opposed TO fees and
the city government likely Will never
have any more than at present what
ever form of. government the people
select
I'VE hardly expected Mayor Wood
ward to consider 1t a good charter.
II any other man who ever held Of
fee in Georgia ever did anything
worth while besides himself. j never
herd of II.
THE new charter codifies and sim
rifles our present charter. That's all
there Is to it."
Vigorous campaigning by the new
charter advocates win mark the eli
max of the new charter campaign
When the ballot boxes are closed
Wednesday night at o'clock a heavy
vote will have been peeled, according

down for the first time in his cell in

The spirit which has held the physi

Naughton gave way to his feelings.
Bitterly denouncing his personal
enemies, yet declaring his belief that
Governor Slaton would pardon him,
DIR. McNaughton paced his cell as the
pent-up feelings of three years
loosened. The new fight which sud
denly developed by the prosecution
after the Prison Commission had rec
commended the granting of full par
don, proved too great a strain upon
the doctor and MCNaughton was COM
pletely broken, haggard and dis
traught from what he declares is per
secution on the part of a number of
Emanuel County residents.

fight has been made to send me to

Governor Slaton was still cOnsid-
ering the evidence in the McNaugh-
ton case Monday. He is going CAREFUL

complete review of the case before

informed the lawyers that he would
