himself unalterably against the sug-
gestion made by Winston Spencer
Churchill, First Lord of the Admiral

that a settlement of the Irish question
might be reached by the exclusion of
a portion of Ulster from the opera
lions of the Home Rule bill.
Mr.. Redmond said that the sugges-
ton was impracticable and Unwork
able. Such a proposition, he declared,
would have no support from the Ma

RACE SEPARATION
IN NPOPULARFAVOR
Councilman AshIey'S Proposal
Observation-Disclosures Ready
for Monday.

Councilman Claude l.. Ashleys pro-
posal to segregate the white and negro
races in Atlanta has aroused strong
support, especially in the eastern sec
tion of the city, where there are no
definite lines of demarcation and nu-
merous efforts to separate the races
have proved futile.
While former similar movements
have been abandoned because of oppo-
sition from negroes, who pleaded that
such a plan would inspire race preju-
dice, and from property owners who ar
gued pecuniary damage, Councilman
Ashley declared today he would force
the Issue to point because or the sue
cess of like ordinances in Baltimore
and Richmond.
The supreme court Of Maryland has
held the Baltimore law to be consti-
tutional. Councilman Ashley said it
did not interfere with constitutional
rights any more than the Jim Crow
laws governing public utilities.
Charles p Glover, president of the
Atlanta Real Estate Exchange, said he
would not speak officially, but that he
personally thought it was a good move
and that such a law would increase
realty values in both white and negro
sections.
Councilman Ashley has already re-
ceived pledges of support from a num-
ber of councilmen. He will present his
ordinance Monday, providing that q
majority of the residents in any city
block shall determine whether that
block shall be inhabited exclusively by
white people or negroes by petitioning
the building inspector. Servant houses
in the rear OF residences are excepted.

TALK OF VAN DYKE
BEING SUMMONED
INCOURT CONTEMPT

The probability of Alderman A. II.
VanDyke being hailed before the supe-
rior court for contempt for his attack
yesterday on Judge George l.. Bell and
the superior court judges generally was
rumored today in court circles.
Judge Bell, when seen, declined to
say what action would be taken. He
would not deny the report that DR..
VanDyke would be summoned to court.
That he has the matter under consid-
GRAFTON there is little doubt.
Judges Pendleton and Ellis, the re-
naming two superior court judges, are
absent from the city.
DR., VanDyke's attack on the courts
grew out of the injunction against the
city granted by Judge Bell in the Han
jaras pool room controversy, the city
being restrained from interfering with
the operation of the poolroom, A per-
NIT had been refused Hanjaras,
The alderman asserted Judge Bell
granted the injunction without inves-
tigating the facts. He also charged
that the superior court judges general
ly were not upholding the city laws

SOCIAL WORKERS IN
ATLANTA; ORGANIZE
SOCIETY AT MEETING

Atlanta today has an organized band
Of social workers. The combination
was effected last night at 81 meeting
of social workers in Carnegie library,
who, after adopting the name THE
Atlanta Social Service club" elected
the following officers w. w. Tindall,
president Miss Daisy Eckert, vice
president; II. j. Heyman, secretary, and
an executive committee composed Of
the officers and Miss Appleyard, su-
perintendent of the Martha home; Miss
Lottie Pennespeck and Philip Weltner
secretary of the prison association.
Sentiment for such an organization
crystallized in an address by w. Woods
White, who said:
There is nothing this city needs so
much as an organization which will
bring the social workers in frequent
touch with one another. Experts here
in that line have never made a col
lective showing, yet such showing is
vital to the highest development of the
city's philanthropies"
j. F.. Mccullough, secretary of the
sociological congress, addressed the
meeting, outlining the Southern social
agencies.

gallons-the real chug- chug stuff-pure

vodeville bills say. During 1912 he sold
all but 5000 gallons of the stuff. His
contract purchase price was cents. In
spots, he got as high as 15 cents for his
joy ride juice.
When 1912 sped down times track and
little old 1918 came UP the stretch. Friend
Andrew believed his agreement still held
with the Gulf concern. He kept right ON
peddling gasoline. despite the fact that
his contract had expired December Il
1912 On January 5, he disposed of the
last of his supply. Then came the sad
awakening.

10 cents a gallon-just enough, he

Madly searching through his papers he
found that his contract with the Gulf
