CHICAGO WOMEN VOTE
FLOCKED TO POLLS IN GREAT
NUMBERS TO CAST BALLOTS.
Several Were Nominated For Office.
Everybody in Mayor HaTrison's
Family Votes But Himself.

CHICAGO.-Thousands of Chi
cago women today had their first real
experience with the ballot box and
took part in the actual nomination of
candidates for the city council. In
wards in which women candidates
were running in opposition to men
for places in the city council the wo-
men candidates toured the wards
and hustled for votes in approved
political fashion.
A snow storm early in the day de-
layei many VOTES, and a movement
fostered by many suffrage leaders
who believed that women should not
formally ally themselves with any
specific party kept hundreds from
voting at the primaries.
Women Candidates UnOppOsed.
Five of the eight women candidates
were unopposed in their party and
their nomination was certain. Among
them was Miss Marion Drake, who

TO ASK SOLONS FOR SUFFRAGE
Georgia Women to Fight For Votes
Before the Legislature When 1t
Convenes Coming Summer.

ATLANTA.-There is no doubt
that the Georgia legislature at its
coming session will be called upon
to consider the question of women
suffrage in Georgia. Already the
members of the house and of the
senate, too, are being sounded upon
the proposition by the equal suffrage
leagues now being organized
throughout the state.
Change Constitution.
The legislature will probably be
asked to give it's endorsement to q
plan looking to a change in the COM
stitution of the state so that the
voters may declare whether they
want equal suffrage to prevail in
Georgia.
The women of Athens, Atlanta
Columbus, Macon, Augusta and other
cities in the state are now actively
at work in the interest of the ballot
for their sex.

SLATON APPOINTS WEST
OUTH GEORGIA MAN SUCCEEDS
THE LATE SENATOR BACON.
New Senator Has Long Been Promi-
nent in Political Circles of State.
A Successful Business Man.


William S. West, lawyer and CAPT
talist, of Valdosta, was appointed
United States senator Wednesday af-
ternoon by Governor Slaton for the
ad interim term occasioned by the
death of Senator A. o. Bacon.
The new senator expects to go to
Washington to be sworn in by the
vice president on March End. He
was at the Winecoff hotel in Atlanta
when his appointment was announc-
ed at the capitol by Governor Slaton,
and shortly thereafter gave out for
nal typewriter statement in which
he said that he would attempt to car
ry out the views and wishes of the
late Senator Bacon; that he would
support the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson, and that he hoped to re-
tain the services of Col. John T. Boz
feuillet as his private secretary. Col.
Boifeuillet was an applicant for the
appointment himself.
Senator West did not Indicate in
this statement whether he would go
before the people in the primaries
this summer as a candidate to sue
coed himself for the unexp1red term.
The announcement of Col. Vests
appointment was made verbally by
Governor Slaton at Alb O'Clock to
Representatives of the press, State
Game Warden Charles l.. Davis and
the governors secretaries. Politi-
clans and applicants for the senator
ship, who had besieged the governor
for days, were conspicuous by their
absence.
After declaring that cts West
the governor said that he would have
no formal statement to make.
It is expected that the appointment
will result in opening up the senate
rial fight for the succession in the
| federal election. Governor Slaton is
still silent as regards his own inten-
lions in the matter, but he will prob
ably have something to say before
| long.

FRANK NOT AFFECTED
DENIAL OF REHEARING DID NOT
SEEM TO PERTURB PRISONER.
Despite Snow Storm and Blizzard
Weather Faithful Wife Made Her
Daily Visit to His Cell.

ATLANTA, Feb. 26.-The ques-
ton of newly discovered evidence did
not figure at all in the motion for
rehearing in the Frank case, which
was denied by the supreme court yes
terday. The motion was concerned
purely with the legal points involved,
and was in no way modified by the
discovery that the hair in the lathe
was not Mary Phagan's or by the
admission of the Mcknight negro
that he had perjured himself when
he testified against Frank. These
pieces of new evidence, and any 9TH
ers which may be discovered in the
interim, will be presented not to the
supreme court but direct to the supe-
rior court, of which Judge Ben Hill
is now jouge, in direct motion for
a new trial. If, in the estimation of
Judge Hill, the newly discovered evil
dence is of sufficiently vital import
ance he has the right under the law
himself to grant the new trial.
Any evidence which Burns may
discover, if it tends to point towards
Franks innocence or toward the fact
that any of the evidence was framed
up in the trial, will be presented for
consideration direct to the superior
court in the same way.
Frank in his cell yesterday was not
much affected by the denial of a re-
hearing by the supreme court. 1t
was not there that his new hope lay.
Despite the snow storm and the biz
Yard weather the prisoners faithful
wife made her customary daily visit
to his cell and spent an hour or more
with him. The answering devotion
of the young wife and her continued
faith in her husband and belief in
his innocence have been one of the
most touching features of the tragic
case. Every day since he was put in
a cell at the tower, months ago, Mrs.
Frank has visited him, rain or shine,
sometimes with flowers, sometimes
with home-cooked food, sometimes
with words of cheer from outside
friends. She has become a familiar
figure to the jailers and turnkeys,
who say they have never seen such
devotion.

CONFEDERATE SENATORS.
The Death of the Lamented Bacon
Leaves Only Four in That Body.

The death of Hon. A. o. Bacon
leaves only four confederate veterans
in the United States senate.
While many confederates have held
high stations in both the state and
national governments, and few are
still in positions of honor and trust,
the lines have become so thin that
we can but see the last one of that
brave band in public Office.
The youngest ones of them must
necessarily be nearly seventy. This
means that within a few years the
remnant that We now have with us
will have passed away.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama,
who was captain, is the last confed-
crate officer. The other three are
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
Senator Thornton of Louisiana, and
Senator Martin of Virginia.

DEPOSITORS WANT TO KNOW FACTS
No Information Yet as to Condition
of Americas Bank. Conceded to
Be in a DepIorable Condition.


Numerous depositors in the sus-
pended Americas National Bank held
meeting on Wednesday with the
view of formulating plans that will
afford opportunity to learn the con-
dition of the bank, which closed
three weeks ago. Since that date not
scintilla of information can be had
and the hundreds of deDositors are
all in absolute ignorance regarding
the banks probable assets and liza
bilities.
That the banks books and &C
counts are in a deplorably muddled
condition is generally conceded, but
depositors and creditors believe they
should get some information. 1t is
stated that parties in Americas stand
ready to put up money for the imme-
date payment of depositors if they
can only get information regarding
the amount probably due as well as
other information desirable before
proceeding with their plans.

working in conjunction with the re-

Cashier G. D. Wheatley, Jr., is still
