TECHS" AUDITORIUM

w. H. Wyndham, a civil engineer
Of International reputation, will lecture
tonight at the Georgia School of Tech

Construction and Future Importance"

engineer. He was employed by the

was under construction by that gov
eminent. and was one Of the first en-
gineers to be placed on the Job by the
American government. The lecture Is

admitted.
The lecture will begin at Sis and
will be held in the large auditorium Of

Rule Stormy Republic,
Engineer Declares.

c. NJ. Brown, of the city Of Mexico,
is in Atlanta to-day on business con-
nected with the construction firm which
he represents in the revolution ridden
capital.
Brown declares that American in
terests in Mexico City are being ably
handled through Ambassador Wilson,
but he declares that Intervention six
months ago on the part OF the United
States government would have meant
life to President Madero, and would
have made impossible the recent dis
graceful scenes in the crown city of
the sister republic.
The Mexican situation will not now
be settled for months" said Brown
THE end of this strife is not yet even
near. do not see anything ahead for
the Huerta government better than

who has sufficient poise to carry on the

Commissioners Brand as False
the Charge That They Fol-

The police commissioners named by
Alderman John s. Gambler in an inter
view in which he declared a minister
had handed him list of the board
members who "trailed' Chief of Police
Beavers last Sunday on his moving
picture inspection trip to-day, united in
a denial of the charge.
Chief of Police Beavers also declared
he knew nothing OF being "trailed.'
One of the commissioners in denying
the report branded Gamblers informant
as telling a deliberate falsehood'
Vernoy Denies It.
w A. Vernoy. commissioner from
the Third ward, denied vigor-
ously that he trailed or attempted to
trail Chief Beavers. He said:
Il am willing to leave the matter to
Chief Beavers as to whether or not l
followed him on his round of motion
picture shows on Sunday. The asser-
tion that l did so is untrue.
Judge john Gambler told me yester-
day that his informant did not mention
my name nor the name of the man with
me Sunday in connection with the
charge that the chief had been fol
lowed. Alderman Gambler said that
my name would not be used in connec-
ton with the charges.
To See Gambler.
There is some mistake about this
matter. ! expect to have a conference
with Judge Gambler when lie returns,
and expect to demand the name of his
informant and to know how l was con-
nected with this matter

Suffragette Leader Writes to Her
Mother of Suffering in Jail

LONDON, March 2O.-The fanatical
elf-inhicted suffering OF the militant
suffragettes in prison has become a
national problem. 1t was the subject
of a discussion in the house of COM
mons where it led to an angry attack
on the home secretary. About the same
time, the Militant Suffragette union is
sued a copy of a letter received by Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst from her daughter
Sylvia, now in Holloway prison. The
narrowing letter is as follows:
Dearest Mother: ] am fighting,
fighting fighting! I have four, five
or six mattresses every day, as
well as two doctors l am fed
through a stomach tube twice a
day
They pry open my mouth with
steel gag, pressing it in where there
is a gap in my teeth. ! resist all
the time. My gums are always
bleeding.
am afraid they may be saying
that we do not resist, yet my Shout
ders are bruised by the struggling
while they hold the tube in my
throat.
/ used to feel that ! would go
mad at first and be pretty near to
it, as they feared, but l have got
over that. SYLVIA.
Home Secretary Denounced.
Harold Smith, a Unionist member,
declared in commons: The home sec
rotary ought to have proclaimed as I'M
lawful the meetings OF the militant suf-
fragettes, but his only attempt to rem
edy the situation thus far had been his
futile efforts at forcible feeding, which
were barbaric in their cruelty"
Mr.. Smith called upon the home
secretary to resign from the cabi-
net as a Hopeless failure" as the
present serious state of affairs
could be ended only by strong men.
Lord Robert Cecil, another Unionist
member, foresaw the possibility of
lynch law if the fanatical women were
allowed TO continue their tactics. He
advocated the deporta ton of the mill
tant suffra gettes for an indefinite pc
riod.
Reginald McKenna. the home secre-
tary. said that or g. women who had
been sentenced to Jail since January
/. eight had been released before the
completion OF their sentences. All OF
these women had been let go because
they refused TO eat food. All of them
were suffering from complaints which
prevented attempts at forcible feeding,
the home secretary said, and he added
that many of the militants were ac-
tuated by a determination to make
martyrs of themselves and were ready
to starve to death for the cause
Women's Self Martyrdom.
Mr. McKenna said he had to face this
fact daily, and by bitter experience he
knew these cases could only be dealt
with individually, and by exercising pa

He added that under the existing law
he either had to let the women die or
let them out and he wished he could

Mr.. Mckenna, continuing, told
how one woman in prison sPonged
herself all over with hot water and
remained uncovered all night in the
hope Of catching her death Of cold.
Others pretended to take their food,

selves 50 as to become exhausted
and die in prison. Some had VOL
unfairly self tortured themselves b
by thirst, refusing to touch any
food or liquid.

spiracy on foot among the militant
