tions of the representatives, senator's

ANOTHER FEMALE UPRISING
THIS TIME NEGRO WOMEN ARE
DEMANDING THEIR RIGHTS.
Say They Ought Not to Be Made to
Ride in Coaches With Convicts
and Crazy People.

ATLANTA.-There has been an
other feminist uprising in Georgia.
This time it is the negro women who
are demanding their rights, and they
have called on the state railroad
commission to uphold their conten-
tions.
They say that a respectable ne
gro woman ought not to be made to
travel III a railroad coach occupied
by convicts and crazy people, and
that the general conditions in the
''jim crow coaches in Georgia are
outrageous.
The petition is signed by the State
Federation of Colored Women S
Clubs, and sets forth a number of
unique objections:
First: The coach has a middle
door; One-hals of it is a smoker for
the whites; the door is kept open,
and we are practically in the smoker
Second: Convicts and crazy peo-
pie always occupy this coach, which
is humiliating to our best people.
Third: The porter sweeps and
dusts, scattering millions of disease
germs
Fourth: The news butcher or the
conductor invariably occupies the
only double seat in the coach, which
often mother and little ones might
otherwise use.

FROST CHECKS BOIL WEEvIL
PROGRESS TOWARDS GEORGIA
DELAYED FOR A YEAR.
The State Entomologist. Says There
Is No Chance for Damage Here
Until 1916.

The early cold snap and heavy
frosts have served to stave the boil
weevil invasion off from Georgia for
at least another year.
An Atlanta dispatch to the Macon
Telegraph says that this is the opin-
ion of State Entomologist Worsham,
who is a close observer on the sub
ject. A recent map sent out by the
Alabama department showed the
weevil within about twenty-five miles
Of the Georgia line. The dispersion
of the weevil usually continues until
frost or sufficient cold TO send it into
Under usual conditions, we do not
have it cold enough to stop his dis
persion before November l. This
year, however, the stiff cold, which
extended all the way down the state,
sent the weevil into winter quarters
and he won't bulge again until warm
weather next year
Not Here Until 1918.
So it is practically safe to predict
that the boil weevil will not invade
this state to do any harm before
1915. Under favorable conditions it
will span that 25 miles to Georgia
next year all right, but will probably
arrive too late to do any serious dam
age.
This early cold snap has sent the
weevil into winter quarters without
doubt" said Mr. Worsham today.
"This gives us practically another
years respite, but this fact should
not cause our farmers to let up one
minute in their preparation for its
coming. In fact, they should take
big advantage of the situation next
year and begin producing home sup
plies in advance"

BITTER IS LEGAL BATTLE
ARGUMENT OF FRANKS MOTION
MAY CONSUME A WEEK.
Only Fifteen of Hundred and Fifteen
Reasons for New Trial Have
Been DISMISSED Of.


ATLANTA Argumen on the mo-
ton for new trial for L. NJ. Frank,
convicted murderer of Mary Phagan,
was begun before Judge L. s. Roam
in the superior court Wednesday,
and, as in the trial of the case, every
step has been desperately fought.
Conley's Evidence Attacked.
In the preliminary discussion the
revolving testimony of the negro Jim
Conley as to Franks alleged immor-
ality was the subject of heated argu-
ment.
The defense set up the fact that
the court refused to expunge this
testimony from the record as one of
the strongest grounds upon which a
new trial is demanded The solicit
tor general objected to this being
put in as one of the grounds, con-
tending that the objection was not
made when the testimony was first
offered. Attorneys for tn edefense
insisted that it had been offered in
due and proper time.
Upon the insistence OF Solicitor
General Dorsey, however, there was
added to this part of the motion that
the objection was made and denied
only after a lapse of time.
There are 115 reasons in the mo-
tion of the defense as to why a new
trial should be granted, and net more
than fifteen of these were disposed
of Indications are the argument
will occupy about week

A CENSUS OF DOPE USERS |
WILL BE TAKEN IN GEORGIA UN-
DER DIRECTION OF CONGRESS.
Investigation to Be Nationwide, and
Name of Every One VIII Be Laid
Before Revenue Collector.

ATLANTA.-A census of the OPT
UNI and cocaine users in Georgia is
to be taken shortly under the dlres-
ton of congress, which is now pre-
pairing the special machinery for the
work.
The opium and cocaine investiga-
ton will be nationwide, and will lay
before the eyes of the internal reve-
nue. officers, as far as possible, the
names and addresses of every opium
smoker, morphine fiend and cocaine
user who does not succeed in evading
the law to satisfy his cravings.
1t is anticipated from local investi-
cation that the proportion of NOR
phine and opium users in Georgia
will be comparatively small, but that
the number of cocaine users, espe-
cially among the negroes and poorer
classes of white people, will be as
toundingly large.
Efforts have been made at inter-
walls for past years by the local pc
lice authorities in Georgia cities to
break up the sale of cocaine to ne
groes, but these efforts have on the
whole met with little success. The
proposal for Uncle Sam to take a
hand by further regulating the traf-
fic in these drugs is welcomed in
Georgia because it is believed it will
help stamp out the coke fiends."
When the users of opium and CO.
caine are known and the amounts
consumed are known it will be easy,
according to the government officials
to distinguish the cases in which the
narcotics are being procured for le-
ultimate medical purposes.

Fair cold weather east of the Mis-

UNCLE SAM MUM ON MEXICO
STATE DEPARTMENT WON'T DIS

To Transfer Troops, Those Doing Ser

WASHINGTON, D. C.-State de-
partment officials today declined to
discuss in any way the inquiries
made by Ambassador Page in Lon.
don in respect to Great Britain's at
titude in Mexico. 1t was evident
that in whatever is passing between
England and the United States on the
latest phase of the Mexican situation
the utmost secrecy is to be main
tanned. At the white house there
positively was no information avail
able and Secretary Bryan, who spent
the entire day working on foreign
matters, displayed extreme reticence
about the subject. Diplomats gem
orally were of the opinion that there
would be further conversations, but
they were not likely to occur until
after Oct. 20, the date of Mexican
elections. A new expression of pol
icy is expected from the United States
after that date.
Felix Diaz Arrives.
No developments of Importance in
the situation in Mexico were reported
except the arrival at Vera Cruz of
General Felix Diaz, which John Lind
promptly cab1ed to the state depart
ment without comment.
The dispatch of warships to Mexi-
can waters by France, Germany, Eng
land and Japan brought forth no
comment from officials here. 1t is
known that the sending of warships
is not regarded by the United States
as conflicting in any way with the
desire of this government for free
hand in dealing with the Mexican
problem.
Arrangements have been made to
have the Second and Fifth regiments
of cavalry, which for several years
have been ON duty on the Mexican
border, replaced by the Tenth and
Fifteenth regiments. No time has
been set for the transfer.

WATSON'S CASE is QUASHED
JUDGE FOSTER ORDERED III
THROWN OUT OF COURT.
Watson Argues in His Own Behalf
and the Court Holds That His
View Was Wen Taken.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The trial here of
Thomas E. Watson, charged with
sending obscene matter through the
mails, ended abruptly at noon today
when Federal Judge Rufus E. Fos-
ter sustained the motion of the de-
Tense quashing the Indictment
against the Georgia editor
Immediately upon the announce
ment of the courts ruling there was
a demonstration by the audience,
which Judge Foster permitted to
pass unrebuked.
In directing that the Indictment
be quashed Judge Foster said:
1T appears in this indictment that
the publications alleged to have been
sent through the mails in violation
of the law are extracts from a COM
pIete article. 1t is my opinion that
the government is required to plead
the entire article and is not permit
ted to pick out few paragraphs here
and there, and make them the basis
OF an indictment"
He added that if the government
we're allowed to pursue such course
it would be possible to indict a per-
son for sending through the mails a
copy of the Bible.
Judge Foster said that in sustain
ing the motion of the defense he was
not ruling upon the question as to
whether or not the articles were OBJ
scene, and that the government
might at any time proceed to Te-
indict.
The specific point upon which the
indictment was quashed was empha-
sized by Mr.. Watson himself during
his brief presentation of what ne
termed "other phases" of the case.
He argued that if the Indictment
against him should stand it would
be necessary to hold men who send
through the mails copies Of the BIZ
BILE, or the criminal code of Georgia.

obscene words appear in both books.

it was unnecessary to include the al
legged Objectionable articles in the
indictment in their entirety, and that
the indication of specific paragraphs
was sufficient. 1t was at this point
that Judge Foster terminated the
trial by sustaining the motion dis
missing the charge against Watson.
The largest audience ever assem-
bled in the federal court room here
attended today's session, and when
the judge announced his ruling dis
missing the charges against the
Georgia editor the spectators broke
into thunderous cheers. Judge Fos-
ter paid no attention to this demon
stration, which quickly subsidized.

THIRTY YEARS LEGAL
BATTLE NEAR END
Five Million Dollars Is Involved. The
American Bell Asks the Supreme
Court for a Decision.

"A
Court for Decision.
WASHINGTON.-After 80 years
of litigation in lower courts the
American Bell Telephone Company
today asked the supreme court to
decide the amount of royalties and
rentals it owes the Western Union
Telegraph Company under the con-
tract in 1879 ending their rivalry in
the telephone business. More than
$5.OOO,O00 is involved in the case.
By the contract of 1879 the West
ern Union was to retire from the hus-
mess of renting telephones and tc
sell it's subsidiary telephone patents
to the Bell Company In return the
latter was to pay the Western Union
20 per cent of the rentals or royal
ties from licenses or leases for
speaking telephones.
The Bell company entered into IL
censes and leases with many corpora
tions throughout the country, receiv-
ing not only an annual retail but in
addition 50 per cent of the capital
stock of these corporations. The
present dispute is whether the West
ern Union is entitled to 20 per cent
Of the stock so acquired.
The court probably within two
weeks will announce whether it will
review the litigation in the lower
courts, which decided in favor of the
Western Union.

some Park Entrance.

MACON, Ga.-With clear skies
and crisp weather prevailing the
Georgia State Fair was opened today
and hundreds of people passed the
turnstiles. The attendance was much
larger than is usual on the opening
day and was due to the new plan OF
having the fair ready before the
opening.
Fire Destroys Entrance.
During the early morning a fire
destroyed the handsome park en-
trance which had just been rebuilt
and put in frst-class condition for
the fair 1t will be impossible to re-
build the entrance before the fair is
over, but next year the city will erect
modern fire-proof entrance.
The real contest for the county ag-
ricultural blue ribbon this year is
thought to lie between Houston,
Cobb and Worth counties. Though
Cobb has taken first place for several
years past Houston and Worth are
equal favorites this year and it is
going to take some mighty fine judg-
ing to decide the winner. Bibb has
