SUFFRAG|STS To
FIGHT HANGING
Of WOMAN
Equality Workers Oppose ExeCu-
ton of Mrs. Wakefield Un-
der Man-Made Laws.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. IA
State wide fight to restrain State of
flcials from hanging woman was
under way to-day with petitions be-
ing circulated TO secure Communication
of the sentence of Mrs. Bessie Wake
field, sentenced TO die for the murder
of her husband.
The leader here is Mrs. Sarah Dew
lin, secretary Of the Fairhaven Po-
litical Equality Club, which drafted
a petition setting forth that Mrs.
Wakefield did not commit the crime
of which she was convicted and
should not, therefore, be held respon-
sible for it; that her age, "a, made II
unlikely that she could appreciate the
enormity of the crime; that she had
not had the moral training through
life to lead her in paths of moral rec
titude. and that the man who actually
committed the murder eNerted a
malevolent influence over her.
II seems tlikely that the State SUI
frage organization win take a stand
against the hanging Of Mrs Wake
field on the ground that no woman
should be condemned TO die under
man made laws.

HELEN KELLER'S
VOICE WILL De
HEARD HERE
Famous Woman, Educated De-
spite Serious Obstacles, Comes
to Atlanta December 20.

Helen Keller, whose triumphs over
her many obstacles have made her
one Of the most remarkable charac-
ters of the century, will be seen on
the lecture platform in Atlanta De-
cember 20, under the auspices of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Miss Keller will appear in conjunc-
ton with Miss Ella Powell, of New
York, formerly OF this city, and hel
teacher Mrs. John Macy. She will
demonstrate Miss Powell's lecture on
The Psychology of Music" by send
ing from a throat once voiceless the
clear notes which through years of
grim determination she has learned to
enunciate.
Perhaps this same culture Of her
voice, above all else, has proved a
climax to the wonders which this re-
markable woman. has achieved. Crit
les of music have declared that Miss
keller's singing voice is almost fault
less.
Arrangements for the appearance
of Miss Keller in Atlanta were com
pleted Thursday afternoon at meet
ing of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy To Mrs. Helen Plane,
member of that organization and
prominent worker in many other At
lanta enterprises, large share of the
credit is due.
Realizing the vast interest felt in
Miss Keller, Mrs Plane overcame all
obstacles and finally succeeded in get
ting Miss Keller to come.
Miss Keller has been known to the
world ever since she was years old,
when first reports of her education
were published. 1t was then an
nounced that deaf, blind child had
learned to read and write in six
months. At the age of 10 Helen KEEL
Ter had learned to speak.
At 16 she was preparing at her Ala
bama home for college. She gradu-
ated from Radcliffe College in 1904,
receiving the degree of Bachelor Of
Arts with distinction. While she was
in college Miss Keller wrote The
Story of My Life" which has since
been translated into fifteen languages.
Railroads are expected to make
special rates from nearby cities to
bring the crowds who wish 20 hear
this remarkable woman.

Aged Housewife Battles Desper-

Mrs. Jessie Latham 50 years old.
was choked and beaten almost into
InsensibiHty Friday morning at
o'clock by negro nighwayman, who
attacked her as she passed the mouth
Of McNellps alley within 20 feet of
her home at No. 81 Hood street.
After a desperate struggle, the ne
grow threw the aged woman heavily
to the ground, wrenched her purse,
containing between $40 and $50, from
her hand. and fed up the alley. Po-
lice officers and neighbors who an
swered the womans screams for help
were unable to find any trace OF her
assailant.
1t has been Mrs. Latham's custom
for years to leave her home about 6
o'clock every morning, and go to the
grocery store about a block away.
where she purchases food for her
breakfast. She always carries her
purse, usually containing about $50.
Street Was Deserted.
Friday morning she stepped from
her home and started walking brisk
lv in the sharp morning air, uncon-

alley The street was deserted save
for Mrs Latham. though all of her
neighbors had arisen and were busy
eparug their morning meal.
A high board fence on either side
hides the approach to the alley and
in the shadow Of the fences the ne
gro hid. As Mrs. Latham PASSED the
mouth OF the alley. the negro, hat
pulled down over his eyes, darted out
Of the shadows and seized Mrs. Lath-
am by the arm He whirled the aged
woman around and made a desperate
grab at the poCketbooK.
Mrs. Latham started TO scream, ana
the negro with an oath released his
hold on her arm and gripped her
throat with both hands. AS she con-
tinued to struggle. the negro dragged
her into the alley and desperate
battle followed.
Mrs. Latham struck and tore at the
negro with all her feeble strength, but
she was powerless to escape The
hiehyavman Choked and struck the
aged woman In the face until she
was almost unconscious. She struck
him time and again in the face with
her clinched fist. and at each blow
the negro pressed his fingers deeper
into her throat
