four INDICTMENTS
AGAINST TURLEY
Steward at Mississippi In
sane Asylum Charged
With Embezzling

jackson, Miss, July 25.-(Special.) .)-Tom
Turley, steward at the insane asylum, is
in the middle OF a very bad fix, seeming
to be scheduled for the penitentiary along
with several others who have been caught
in the dragnets spread py the governor
and the legislative investigating commit
tee.
The grand jury has returned four in
dictments charging Turley with embeZ-
element, the total sum being about $500.
This is for money paid to a man named
Weathersby, who seems to have permitted
the use of his name on the asylum pay
roll for a consideration. The vouchers ex-
planned that he had sold cattle or beef
to the asylum when the fact of the busi-
ness is that Weathersby has never owned
even tick ridden calf. The police force
OF the city, as well as several deputy sher-
iffs, have been hunting high and low for
Weathersby several days, wanting him az
a witness before the investigating COM
mittee. but he has not been found. There
does not seem to be any doubt he has been
run off until the storm blows over for
those who got the money.
There has been testimony before the
committee that one or two more of the
trustees have been selling cattle and other
supplies to the board of which they are
members, under assumed names. The
grand jury failed to indict them, but it is
understood the committee will soon make
affidavits and have them arrested for
appearance before a justice of the peace
Turley, the steward, has gotten into
more trouble by threatening to kill one
of the employees of the asylum who testi-
fled against him in the grand jury room.
and who will be the star witness before
the court. He has been arrested and
placed under bond on affidavit made out
by Attorney General Collins. The intimi-
dation of witness is penitentiary Of

MISS ESTELLE SCHUESSLER
Who is visiting relatives in Georgia

Mrs. Eliza Calvert Hall, in the current
issue of the Womans Journal, paper
devoted to winning equal suffrage an
swers the recent anti-suffrage statements
of Mrs. Matthew T. Scott. ex-president of
the d. A. r., in a decidedly convincing
manner. In response to Mrs. seott's state
ment she says
Say what we will about moral suffer-
ings of women in time of war, after all it
Is men whose bodies are broken and whose
life blood is spilled on every battlefield.
She contends that woman's suffering in
time of war is more than moral suffer-
ing''-whatever that may be. When
mans body is broken and his life blood
spilled on the field of battle, womans
heart breaks and her death agony lasts
for years. But what have the sufferings
of men and women in time of war to do
with the question of suffrage for women?
Every man votes whether he goes to war
or not, because taxation without repre-
sentation is tyranny" and that principle
for which our forefathers fought, bled and
died applies to women as well as to men,
Strange that a Daughter of the American
Revolution and an ex-president of the
ID. A. r. should have to be reminded of
this historical fact!
And when Mrs. Scott suggests that polit-
ical clubs in which the heads of a family
may separately belong-following their
convictions-will be formed and that even
ings will be spent in them by the diverse
and differing heads of the family only to
the end that when election day comes the
matron may cast ballot which might be
offset three or four to one by ballots cast
by her maid servants, Mrs Hall suggests:
'Enfranchised men have not deserted
their homes for political clubs If mans
love for home is strong enough to stand
the ordeal OF enfranchisement. isn't it pos
sible that woman's love may be equally as
strong? And we are perfectly sure that
the matron casting a ballot which may
be offset three or four to one by ballots
cast by her maid servants, will derive
from this the same sort of satisfaction
that her husband feels when he casts
ballot that may be offset by his men SER
wants Also she will feel the same sort
of satisfaction she feels when she casts a
ballot for an officer in the D. A R.
"By the way, if voting is such an un-
seemly act for woman, why does not the
ID. A. r. disfranchise itself and allow its
affairs to be managed by the Sons of the
American Revolution? If men are capa BILE
of representing women in the affairs of
town, country, state and nation, they are
certainly capable of representing them in
any organization"
Mrs. Scott asks Have you thought it
all tl,fc for all
lyour habits of thought and work. that
you are lightly assuming? We have tol-
lowed it thus far only to the day of elec-
tion. But Immediately after that? What
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-26

next? Division of spoils, with still more
work and worry yet and all heart burn
ing of defeated expectations that turn
fruits of victory to ashes, and Immediately
beyond that some preparations for the
next elections"
Says Mrs. Hail. Division of spoils,
work and worry heart burning. de-
feated expectations, preparations for the
next eections'-does not this sound like a
description of a D.. A. r. convention? !?
Really it looks as IL a woman who has
been TO as many d. A. r. conventions as
Mrs Scott has attended, and who has
served as president, besides. is decidedly
well qualified to go into politics. All she
lacks to make her good politician is an
understanding of the truths that taxation
without representation is tyranny, and
that this is a government of the people,
by the people and for the people, and that
women are people,

Two of the most interesting charac-
ter, in the early history of our coun-
try was John Winthrop, the first gov
ernor of Massachusetts Bay colony. and
his wife, Margaret. Margaret Tindal
was the third wife of Governor John.
They were married at Great Maple
sted, England on April 20. 1913, when
Margaret was 2S years old and Win
throp 92 She proved to be a woman of
rare qualities, both of mind and heart,
and their married life. though having
its due share of vicissitudes and trials,
was yet a happy one. She knew and
was proud of Winthrops talents, and
the goodness of his heart made her
home a habitation of peace and happi-
ness.
Their voluminous correspondence,
which has been printed. is without
decoration, being the simple and earnest
efrusions of the heart, but for that
very reason they are deeply interesting.
sentiment.
The first of the letters that she wrote
to Winthrop that has been found was
probably in 1924 or 1925, some time be-
fore they came to this country, and was
as follows.
Most Dear and Loving Husband
cannot express my love to you, as l
desire, in these poor, lifeless lines; but
do heartily wish that you did see my
heart how true and faithful it is to you,
and how much l do desire to be al
ways with you, to enjoy the sweet
comfort of your presence, and those
helps from you in spiritual and tenn
poral duties, which l am so unfit to
perform without you. 1t makes me to
see the want of you and wish myself

so I will wait with patience upon Him,
who is all sufficient for me.

bered in your prayers, l bid my good

sweet husband. Your obedient wife.
MARGARET WINTHROP"
A letter written shortly after still
further emphasizes her devotion. My
Most Sweet Husband-How dearly well

did much refresh me. What can be more

thee, though they be long ones God

MARGARET WINTHROP"
But the staid John was able to say
Just as pleasant things to his Mar
garet: MY Good Wife-Although I
wrote to thee last week, yet having SO
fit opportunity I must needs write to
thee again; for 1 do esteem one little,
sweet. short letter of thine (such as the
last was) to be well worth two or
three from me. 1t grieves me that [

dear to me than all earthly things, but
/ will endeavor that my prayers mas
supply the defects of my PEN"
And in this same affectionate strain
are all the letters of the two sturdy
Puritans of the early Massachusetts
colony. Winthrop arrived In America in
June, 1890, his wife not coming over
for nearly year. Mrs Winthrop lived
in the New World 16 years, and was
buried amidst the deepest regrets of the
people of Boston and of the population
of the new colony. John Winthrop sur
vived Margaret close to three years.
