MEYERS SUICIDE.
THROUGH FEAR
Of INSANITY
Former Atlanta Telephone Man Is
Found Dead in St. Louis Hotel.
Health Was Broken.

ST. LOUIS. July 12.-Dr. Heine
Marks. uncle of Charles L. Meyers, Of
Nashville. Tenn, who shot and killed
himself at the Planters Hotel Friday,
said to-day that in his opinion his
nephew's suicide was due to a fear
Of insanity, brought about by over
work.
Meyers suffered a nervous break
down six months ago and had to quit
work. He was general contractor for
the Cumberland Telephone Company.
A few days ago Meyers told his
bride of three months that If he be-
came convinced that he would go in
sane he would kill himself. A close
guard was kept over him, but he
eIuded it. Funeral arrangements will
follow the inquest to-day. His wife
was Miss Pearl Goldstein, of Nash
Vile.
Mr.. Meyers. who was special
agent for the Southern Bell Telephone
Company, was regarded as an eff
cient employee. Formerly he lived In
Nashville, where he was connected
with the Cumberland, and retained
his position when that concern was
taken over by the Southern. Sew
eral months ago he was transferred
to Atlanta. but worked here but few
weeks when his health failed and he
took a vacation.
Mr. Meyers and his bride arrived
in st. Louis Thursday to visit his
brother.

PEACE PLAN FOR
HEALEY STRIKE
HANGS FIRE
Committee to Settle WaIkout In
voIving $50 Men on New Build
ing Reported Named.

Negotiations looking to the settle
ment of the strike declared Friday by
union men employed on the Healey
Building had not materialized at noon
Saturday. During the morning
number of strikers gathered near the
structure, but no demonstration was
attempted.
President c. Harrison Barnes, of
the Building Trades Council, who
called the strike, maintains silence on
the matter, although it is understood
representatives to a conference with
the contractor, B. NJ Walker, have
been named. This conference may be
held Saturday afternoon.
The strike, which was called Friday
afternoon at o'clock. was the result
of the alleged awarding of an cleo
trical contract to a concern which
does not employ union labor. This
act on the part of Contractor Walker
the union leaders claim, is viola
ton of certain allie ged existing con-
tracts between employer and en-
ployee
Fourteen labor organizations are
involved. including the structural iron
workers, brick masons, plasterers.
steel workers, plumbers, gas workers,
steam and electrical engineers, paint
ters marble cutters, carpenters and
bod carriers-in all, about $50 men.
According to statements Saturday
morning, a number of the structural
iron workers have planned to leave
Atlanta to take other jobs. While the
steel work on the Healey Building Is
nearly completed. about three weeks
work for the riveting gang and ten
days work for the steel men remain.
The strike will not involve other
buildings, it is believed.

Mr. McMichael OF Marion Friday
made posi- lively his first American
appearance as Speaker Pro Tenn Of
the Georgia House Of Representa-
tives, and got away with victorious
eagles and things of that sort
The speakership Pro Tenn carries
no prerogative other than that OF
presiding when the Speaker is absent
from the chair. and as Mr.. Burweil
had not been absent minute up
to the time OF Mr. MoMichaels par
ticlpatiou in the direction of affairs
in the House, nobody in the House
knew exactly what sort of a Speaker
Pro TEN # had selected. so far as
his ability to handle things was con-
cerned.
Whatever doCbt there may have
been in anybody'S mind that McMich-
ael would get away with things was
speedily removed The gentleman
from Marion seemed perfectly at
home from the very beginning OF
his active career as Speaker Pro
TEN. and was warmly applauded by
his colleagues when he had finished
Round l.
Mr. McMichatel, by the way is one
OF the best and most convincing
speakers on the floor of the House
and has the happy faculty of making
himself understood perfectly. He is
clean-c in enunciation and exceed
ingly easy to follow.
Moreover, he is very popular among
his fellow members, and whatever
he says attracts instant and inter
ested attention.
Judge John T. Allen is. perhaps,
tine best speaker on the floor OF the
Senate. And that is no mean COM
pliment, either, for there are several
good speakers In that honorable body.

good lawyer. but he also IS bust

And it was desperation-for she
was woman no longer young, not
at all attractive, a woman who could
only hope to entice the lowest class
of that peculiar beast man-that
follows in the wake of soliciting
women.
Then there was a giTl-a pretty
girl, slim like a boy, eYen-featured-
a girl who smiled at anyone who
smiled at her. But this was the third
time she had been arrested, and
somehow she could not understand
the gravity of it.
And the law affords only two pun
ishments to be melted out to these
women, whether they be immoral or
immoral, a Jail sentence, which Judge
Hopkins, who is one of the most mer-
cifuI judges on the bench, is IOath to
administer, and the infictiOn of a
fine.
1t places Judge Hopkins in a pecu-
liar position. I believe he realizes
that if he sends these women to jail,
imprisoning them with other Grim
inals, it will have a tendency to send
them still lower down, besides brand
ing them with the prison mark.
If he fines them, and he must do
one or the other if justice according
to the law is melted out, it only means
that the woman must go out on the
street again and sell her body as

One of them thought it quite joke
that she had approached and solicit

They admit without hesitation that
they are prostitutes, many of them
spurn any chance of reform, few of
them seem to realize that they are
degrading their bodies. 1t is just a
