APPEAL BY THE DISTRICT
ON THE TRANSFER ISSUE
Exceptions to Ruling in Local Case
Declaring Reciprocal Arrange
ment Unconstitutional.

The bill of exceptions to the ruling
made by Judge Mullowny in the Police
Court last Friday, when he granted a
motion to quash an information against
the Capital Traction Company, has been
signed by the Judge. Corporation Coun-
sci Edward H. Thomas Immediately filed
an application for a writ of error in the
Court of Appeals.
The charge against the Capital Trac-
ton Company was that it had refused
to accept the transfers issued by the
Metropolitan Coach Company. The mo-
ton to auash. brought by Attorneys r.
Ross Perry & Sons. Edwin Allan Swingle
and G. Thomas Dunlop, representing the
railroad, declared that the law ordering
the issuance of these transfers was un-
constitutional and void for a number of
reasons. This contention was upheld by
the courts ruling and the information
was quashed.
Seven Exceptions Noted.
Seven exceptions to the. ruling appear
in the bill of errors. The first exception
advanced by the corporation counsel is
that the court erred in quashng the in
formal ton. The second exception is that
case, the defense having argued that the
matter was a constitutional question and
that Judge Mullowny was without juris-
diction.
1t is also claimed in the application for
a writ and the bill of exceptions that
the Police Court erred in holding there
was no mutually between the coach and
the traction companies under the transfer
gress dealing with this question. The
court held. according to the exceptions
noted that the benefits of such an ar
rangement accrued largely to the coach
company. Mr.. Thomas contends that no
matter of fact pleaded in the case to
justify this ruling.
Mr. Thomas further claims that the
court erred I'm holding that the act de-
prived the railroad company of its prop
erty. represented by it's tolls and fares.
with out just compensation and due proc
ess of law.
Impairment of Contracts.
The fifth exception noted is that the
court erred in holding that the law under
which the information was filed impaired
the obligations of a contract between the
company and the United States the con-
tract named being the companys charter,
granted by an act of Congress, and in
holding that the act was in violation of a
constitutional amendment, because it de-
prived the railroad company of its prop
erty without compensation and due proc
eSs of law.
The next exception set forth in the bill
is an objection to the Police Court ruling
that Congress exceeded its general police
power in making the law in question.
The last objection to Judge Mullowny's
ruling Is the general one that the act is
constitutional. contrary to the Police
Court opinion and therefore valid.
1t is expected that the Court Of APP
peals will require but few more days to
examine the papers in the case, which
were sent to the court today, and that
the writ of error will be granted before
the end of the week

Mrs w L. Murdoch and Miss Helen
Benners were the two speakers who
yesterday afternoon held the attention
of a score or more of Mrs. Solon Jacobs
friends at a drawing room meeting in
behalf of feminine franchise.
The parlor meeting was initiated sew
eral weeks ago by Mrs. Oscar Hundley
when she asked a number of friends to
hear discussion of equal suffrage pre-
scented by several of It's supporters She
was quickly followed by Mrs. Sidney
M. Ullman, who also arranged most
enjoyable and beneficial meeting. Yes
terday afternoon Mrs. Jacobs gathered
together one OF the most representative
bodies of women that has ever met here
to consider this momehtous topic. Some
are ardent suffragists. others frankly
admit the incertitude of ignorance
many, after hearing the excellent argu-
ment advanced by the speakers yes
terday afternoon, expressed convictions
as to the justice of the premise that
woman should be given the privilege
of voting.
Mrs. Murdoch touched upon the in
difference with which some of those not
actively opposed to equal suffrage dis
pose of the matter. ut is not that we
as individuals need the privilege OF
voting. / am not able to think of any
advantage that would momentarily
come to me through my ability to cast
a ballot, but for the sake of our sis
ters of the factories, the sweatshops and
the mills it comes to us as a duty to
achieve the right to assist in making
the laws which govern us all. A famil-
lar assurance is the fact that when all
the women want the vote it will be given
to them. I nfact, this is the substance
of reply frequently made by our COM
missioners. Do you realize that more
women want this privilege than have
ever wanted any other? That never have
so many men been agreed upon any
political matter as there are women
who are agreed upon this? 1t is impoS-
sible to wait until every woman wants
1t. The women who need it most-the
women of working class-are, as class,

DOLLY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
ABOUT THE "PINCHBECK GIRL
Little Story of More Than Appealing nterest-A the Shams
and Pretenses of Life That Make For So Much Unhap.
piness-When They Are Dropped and the Mask
Was Off, Contentment Regned Supreme
BY DOLLY DAIRyMPLE

In recent popular magazine, there ap-
peared a little story that pleased me trc-
mendously.
1t is called "The Pinchbeck Girl"
Did you happen to read it?
1t is a simple little story about girl
who lived in world of untruth.
Her people were plain and unpretentious,
but she had rich friends to whom she liked
to represent her family as being very diff
ferent from what they really were.
To make a long story short, the poor
little girl played the game for many
months and years.
She kept her friends away from her un-
cle's house because she did not want them
to see how she really lived.
When they did come on her appointed
day ''at home" she would break her neck
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-16

the sham and the pretense had been for
ever disposed of, and the real Polly was
dominant and forcefully forging her way
to the front.
II she could have run away from things
for little time it would have been easier
How many of us have experienced just
that same feeling
But she couldn't; she had to stay right
there and face all the gossip and shrugs
and giggies for which she knew, poor girl,
she had no one TO blame but herself.
Yet today there isn't brighter, happier
more independent girl anywhere than
Polly.
When her wealthy friends drop in to
see her now she doesn't attempt to have
things the way a woman of means aud
leisure would have them.
She now realizes the charm that lies in
contrast and she introduces the old aunt
and uncle with simple pride that warns
the very cookies of your heart.
And many and many a time do her
friends especially the lonely, wealthy
ores. drop into the little cottage for what
they call "a whiff of happiness"
This is the way the author tells it.
Somehow as I read the story / won-
dered II there We're not many who are
making Polly's mistake. forming their
lives in 'pinchbeck'' setting
| wonder if we realize what lies before
us. II we keep up the farce so long that
the habit OF years becomes too strong?
Do you realize that you win miss all
the big. true things of life while you are
masquerading in that world of unreali-
ties?
Do you realize that unless you are big
enough and brave enough to drop these
unworthy little pretenses, your very soul
will shrivel with the sham of 1t all?
You don't need to whine poverty.
You don't even need to explain things
That's your affair, and If some of your
rich friends with a way of asking imper-
tirent questions ask you point blank
about some personal matter, answer
truthfully, and right from the shoulder,
and they will have a deal more respect
for you and like you all the better for it,
Easy enough to talk" some one says.
Yes I know, but it will be easy enough
to do, provided that you will make up
your mind to one thing; that all the little
myths and pretenses must go, and realize
that no one is deceived but yourself and
no one Peally cares.
