STARK BITTERLY
ARRAIGNED BY
SUFFRAGIST
Mrs. McLendon Scores Lawmaker
for 0pposition-Fight for Sen
ate Chamber Renewed.

Characterizing Senator W. w.
Stark as a man Of small mental cal
iber, Mrs Mary L. McLendon. presi-
dent of the Georgia Woman's suf-
frage Association, said Friday the
suffragists would renew the fight for
the use of the Senate chamber dur
ing their State convention.
When Senator Stark ascertained
the suffragists intended to enlighten
the Senators on the question of votes
for women, and then moved the
tabling of a resolution to grant them
the use of the Senate chamber on
the nights of July and 10, he pro-
voked the ire of Mrs. McLendon.
Mrs. McLendon declared the suf-
fragists of Atlanta and Georgia were
indignant She believed that COM
mon courtesy should have impelled
the Senators to willingly grant them
the use of the Senate chamber, ir-
respective of the Senator's views on
suffrage.
She Calls Condition "Pitiful."
1T is pitiful that women have to
beg the men for such things as that"
she said.
During a brief recess Mrs. McLen-
don asked Senator Stark why he
opposed granting the use of the Sen
ate chamber to the suffragists, and
he replied it was because the Saviour
did not call a woman as one of His
disciples
The answer seemed so absurd so
little to the point" she asserted.
Il asked him if he didn't know
that the women of Georgia helped
to build that State House, and that
we had as much right there as any
body else. Governor Brown let four
cowboys from Washington ride
horses up the steps, yet the women
OF Georgia can not meet there"
Plan to Renew Fight.
we are going to renew the fight
for the use of the Senate chamber
Mrs. McLendon continued.
Mr.. John Y. Smith said he would
reopen the question for us next Mon
day. Mr.. Blackburn said he would.
too. Mr.. Blackburn is not in favor
of woman suffrage, but his personal
belief has nothing to do with this
question. No, l don't think Wen get
the use of the Senate chamber, but
We'll show the smallness of the av-
erage Georgia legislator. Just be-
cause they are elected by the men
people they try to keep the women
down. They are afraid the women
might rise against them, so they keep
their heels on the women's necks."
Mrs. J. K. Ottley. suffragist sym
pathizer, said she had no opinion re-
garding Senator Stark or the rea-
sons he advanced for opposing suf-
frage, but she was surprised at the
Senate's refusal to allow the women
to meet there.
Mrs. Ottley Is Surprised.
Il should think they would be very
glad to extend the use of the Senate
chamber to any association which
was neither incendiary nor objec-
tionable," she said, and, judging by
the Roadway made in other States,
the suffragist associations are neither
incendiary nor Objectionable.
II am surprised that they should
have denied the use of the Senate
chamber to any group of respectable
Georgia women seeking something
they believed to be for the State S
good"
Mrs. Ottley said she believed wom-
ans suffrage would come, but she
! would probably never make an eff
fort to bring it.

Of SPEED
F|END CHARGES
STIRS CHIEF
Beavers Posts Plain Clothes Men
to Nab Drivers Who Endan-
ger ChiIdren's Lives.

Following the excitement caused by
the accident on Mills Street Wednes-
day afternoon when little Eva Kill
patrick was run down by a speeding
automobile and left to her fate, Chief
Beavers is receiving complaints of
speeding autolsts from all parts of the
city.
The strongest complaints have come
from merchants and residents along
Ponce DeLeon Avenue and Marietta
Street. Autoists have turned Mari
eta Street into a speedway, the Chief
is told, and run their cars at ter
rife rate of speed at all hours of the
dav and night Several accidents
narrowly have been averted, and pc
destrians who are forced to cross Ma
rietta Street are in constant danger.
out on Ponce DeLeon Avenue con-
ditions, according to complaints, are
as bad as they are on Marietta Street.
At night, residents of the street claim,
the automobiles who use the street
throw their muffers wide open and
sleep is impossible.
Children Kept From Street.
Little children living on Ponce De-
Leon Avenue have been forbidden
by their parents to cross the street
unless their elders are with them, so
dangerous and reckless have the auto
mobile drivers become.
One complaint made to the chief
declared that an S-year-old girl mar
rowly escaped with her life only a
few days ago. The driver made no
attempt to turn his machine or avoid
running over the child, and the COM
plant declares that as he flew past
he cursed the little girl for getting
in the road.
Chief Beavers, following the re-
ceipt of the complaints, started a
vigorous campaign that it is hoped
will end in the arrest and punish
ment of the speeding autoists Ev-
cry policeman on the force has been
instructed to watch carefully for
speeders and also ordered to enforce
all the automobile regulations strictly.
Police Put on Watch.
PlainClothes men will be sent to
the various portions of the city that
have become known as haunts of the
speed maniac, and nothing will be left
undOne 10 Dreak up the pfdctlCe tnaU
has made the streets of Atlanta a
source of danger to all who venture
upon them.
Chief Beavers also has started a
thorough inquiry into the accident
which nearly cost Eva Fitzpatrick her
life, and II the autoist who ran down
the little girl and then fled is cap
tured, an example will be made of
him. The investigation has been
placed in the hands of Captain
Poole, and squad of men have been
detailed to act under his orders. Ev-
cry person In the neighborhood of the
accident who could have seen the car
will be questioned.

NEW TESTIMONY
LAYS CRIME To
CONLEY
Frank Defense Locates Witness
Who Points to the Negro
Sweeper as Slayer.

new witness, said to have the
most damaging evidence yet pro-
duced against Jim Conley. the negro
sweeper in the National Pencil fac
tory, entered the PhaRan case Thurs
day and made an affidavit, the con-
tents 10 which are carefully guarded
by attorneys for Leo NJ Frank,
charged with causing the death OF
the factory girl
The identity of the witness is as
much a secret as the exact nature
OF his testimony II was learned,
though. that the affidavit was made
in the law once Of Joseph Leavitt in
the Grant Building and was wit
messed by Mr.. Leavitt's stenogTapher
II is said the testimony Of this
man connects Conley more directly
with the crime than any other state
ment or affidavit yet procured by the
defense. The witness is understood
to have seen Conley on the after
noon of the crime and to have heard
him make remarks in his drunken
condition which were extremely in
eliminating.
Conley Faces Arrest.
The new affidavit is interpreted to
mean that a warrant soon will be
sworn out through a magistrates
court for the arrest Of Conley. vii
liam M Smithf attorney for Conley,
said several days ago that II his
client was made a defendant in the
case he would retaliate upon the law
yers for Frank by issuing subpenas
duces tecum, commanding them to
appear In court with all the impor-
tant statements and attidaVits which
they have obtained from witnesses
for their side of the case.
Such a move would be giving the
attorneys for Frank a little of their
own medicine as Attorney Rosser
created a sensation week ago by
issuing subpenas ducos tecum for
Solicitor Dorsey. Chief Beavers, Chief
Lanford. Pinkerton Detective Harry
Scott and all the city detectives who
had worked on the Phagan mystery.
They were commanded to bring
into court all affidavits and state
ments Of Jim Conley, Newt Lee, w,
NJ. Matthews, Monteen Slower and
other vital witnesses for the state.
Branded as "Triok."
Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney
Frank A. Hooper, who is associated
with Mr.. Dorsey in the prosecution
at once branded the move as a thin
trick for the purpose Of discreditnE
the States witnesses The sworn
statements would be used, they said
to compare with the testimony of the
States witnesses when on the stand
If there were the slightest devta
ton through a natural lapse of mem
DRY or through trifling inaCCuraCy
the prosecution asserted, the defense
would seek 10 take advantage Of this
to impeaCh the witnesses testimony.
