MEXICO GAMBLING DENS
UNDER PROTECTION OF Gov
EMINENT AND WIDE OPEN.
Gen. Huerta's Assertions That There
Is Plenty OF Cash in Country Is
Borne Out by High Stakes.

MEXICO CITY.-Gambling houses
are now wide open in Mexico City.
Gen. Huerta's assertions that there
is plenty of money in the capital APP
pears to be borne out in the high
stakes. A certain government en-
ploye's losses on the wheels are re-
ported to have been 10000 pesos in
three nights. In the clearing the
gambling house took both the mans
house and his furniture.
The gambling institutions are I'M
der the protection of the govern
ment, which has granted to one con-
Germ the exclusive right to the gam
bling privileges in the federal dis
trict for the consideration of $4,000
pesos a month. This proprietor is
privileged to get as much as he can
out of subcOntracts, and under such
arrangement scores of houses have
been fitted up in a luxurious man
ner.
Government detectives inspect
most of the houses, however, looking
for enemies of the existing admins

companies and also check off the

ATLANTA WOMEN TO ENTER POLITICS

fight for it, and they are enlisting in
their cause every Albanian of infu-
ence who is willing to aid them.
In a letter to Mrs. J. X. Ottley, a
we'll known club leader, Capt. James
w. English, Sr., president of the
Fourth National Bank, says women
are particularly needed on the board
of education, and he suggests that
they could serve well and with eff
cheney on the boards having charge
of parks, Fairgrounds, sanitation
and hospitals and charities. Capt.
English also believes that women
should be appointed to serve with
certain of the standing committees of
council on such subjects as benevo-
lence and pensions, municipal re-
search, hospitals, charities, library
parks, prisons and public buildings
and grounds.
City Council Reticent.
About the only boards which have
not been included in the suggestion
are the police commission and the
fire commission, although past his
tory of the police department might
have been entirely different if the
WOlueu udu udu SOH4OIhIhS ~ w
with it.
Members of the city council have
not yet expressed any very decided
opinion on the subject, and Judging
from the recent divisions and dis
putes which members of council have
had among themselves the probabili-
ty is that some of them at least will
not view the proposal with any great
favor. Possibly, however, they would
not feel disposed to do any very loud
talking against it, as the influence of
the women in Atlanta politics has,
on occasions, proven quite strong.
Nevertheless, the women have
found a doughty champion in coun-
Gil in the person of Councilman c..
L. Ashley, who will introduce a res
olution at the meeting of council on
Monday making women eligible in
the various wards to the park board,
the school board and the board of Ii
brary trustees. This will open up
the whole subject for official discus
sion by council and will determine
the attitude of that body with regard
to it. Although provision for women
members of these three boards would
not seriously upset or disturb the
municipal political situation il would
at least be an entering wedge that
might result in future expansion of
the principle, and, as is well known.
politicians don't like entering
wedges
If the ordinance should be adopt
ed by council steps will be immedi-
ately taken to have an amendment
to the city charter passed at the
coming session of the legislature per-
hitting the service of women on city
boards.
If, on the other hand, council
should defeat the ordinance then
we'll, the probability is there would
be some new faces in that body after
the next election.

JUDGE SPEER SENDS each A COY
Every Member of Congress Gets His
Answer to Charges. Critics Same
Men Who Endorsed Him.

WASHINGTON.-By having Sc
cured from the department of justice
and had photographed many letters
of endorsement by the bar and bench
of Georgia of himself for the court
of appeals Judge Emory Speer, under
charges before the house, has been
able to prepare a brief that is at
tracing attention among members
Of congress.
A copy of Judge Speer's answer
and brief was received by mail by
every member of congress and the
first 100 pages includes Photographic
copies of the letters of endorsement
asking that the Georgia jurist be
named as a member of the United
States court of appeals for the Fifth
district to succeed Andrew P. Me
Cormick.
The papers were filed Feb. 3,
1903, and by their production Judge
Speer endeavors to show that the
men that are now fighting him by
these letters once sought to have the
president give him a higher judicial
position in recognition of his ability
and fitness as testified by these same
lawyers and judges.

GIRL ADMITS HER SEX
WHEN ORDERED TO DISROBE IN
TEST AS NAVAL RECRUIT.
Was Successful in Passing All Other
Examinations and Had Health
Certificate From Physician.

NEW YORK.-Only the rigid ex-
animation of the United States navy
demanding the disrobing of an appli-
cant for the final test prevented Miss
Charlie" j. Hines, eighteen, from
being enlisted as a seaman this week
She was successful in passing all 9TH
er examinations and had provided a
certificate of health from Brook
Ign doctor.
Miss Hines, with her hair clipped
short and a cigarette in her hand,
applied to the recruiting station.
with ten other recruits she passed
the preliminary examinations.
The chief quartermaster, whose
duty is to examine recruits, was de-
ceived completely with Miss Hines.
In company with the others she did
not falter in the examination. All
questions required were answered by
her without hesitation. She was the
first woman in the history of the
navy to pass the examination.

aside for the final examination she
did so. She removed her coat and
vest. When she found that she
would have to remove her entire at
tire she demurred. She broke down
and told her story. To the officer
she said:
1.-TWO years ago my sweetheart
joined the navy. For few weeks he
wrote to me. Then his letters failed
to come. l wanted to find him. [
was told that it was easy to enlist
in the navy. l made up my mind
that / would find him. l know that
he must be i'll, or I would have
heard from him. 1t was my inten-
ton to join the hospital corps. | felt
sure then that l would find him."
The officer said that he had never
known of more perfect impersona-
ton.
when I asked Miss Hines the his
tory of her family she answered
readily" he said. II remember now
that she drew in her breast when
tapped her on the breast, thinking
that perhaps the recruit was pigeon
breasted. Her physique, however,
was perfect. l would never have de-
tected the mistake if it had not been
necessary for the disrobing of all
recruits, to which Miss Hines OBJ
jected."

IA, 900 AUTOS WITHOUT LICENSE
Owners of Motor Vehicles in Georgia
Subject Selves to Punishment.

Every Georgian owning an auto
mobile or motorcycle who has not
taken out 1914 license is subject to
arrest and prosecution for misde-
meanor. And the maximum penalty
for a misdemeanor is twelve months
on the chaingang, a $1,000 fine, or
both, in the discretion of the judge.
1t is estimated by Secretary of
State Cook that fully $4,000 owners
have neglected to comply with the
law which required them to take out
their licenses before March 1. Mr..
Cook says there are about $4,000
machines in operation in Georgia,
and that only about 1900 have OBJ
tanned new licenses.
The law makes it the duty of the
county and municipal officials to see
to it that new licenses are taken out
or the delinquents are arrested and
tried.

DOOM OF BOOZE TRAFFIC
JOHN L. SULLIVAN PREDICTS A
NATION WITH NO SALOONS.
Former PugiIist and Booze Fighter
Notes Great Change in Whiskey
Business in Recent Years.

NEW YORK.-"The day is COM
ing when there will be no saloons.
There has been a great change in the
last thirty years, and a man can't
drink now and get away with it as
he could then. In the first place
they don't make the good liquor they
used to, and then the day has passed
when a man could drink and his en-
ployer would stand for it because he
was a good workman"
The World thus quotes John l..
Sullivan, the eX-pugilist who in his
meteoric career in the ring punished
more men and whiskey than most of
them. He had come to town from
his farm near North Abingdon,
Mass, for a turn in vaudeville at a
theatre, and was sitting in his dress
ing room the picture of hale and
hearty middle age. His big bass
voice reverberated through the room
with the sorority of shout down a
deep well. His great fists and mas
sive frame suggested the physical
proves that was once his. Only a
equity great toe that kept the right
foot a little in the air limited that
the ersewhile champion might not be
able to give a good account of him
self with one of his modern gate
receipt" successors.
''They said when | was whooping
it up years ago that | would die in
the gutter. But l fooled them. l
quit drinking one night nine years
ago the 9Th of next month. And l
haven't touched a drop since. | was
drunk at the time and had bottle
of wine beside me, when suddenly |
made up my mind | was through, and
threw it away. The booze game Is a
game no one can beat. Every fellow
thinks he can, but if he doesn't let
it alone it will get him.
Il am not one to moralize. You
couldn't have told me then what
know now. To appreciate a thing a
fellow has to try it himself, but l am
sure the liquor thing is a losing
game and that the day is coming
when there will be no saloons.
81 have often thought a good way
to solve the problem would be to Ii
cense the fellow who drinks. Make
the fee a good stiff one, and make
if illegal for any one to sell a man
liouor unless he shows a license card.
And then saloon keepers and bar
tenders ought to be put under bonds
so that they would be responsible Tor
ANYTHING that happened IN their
places Of business.

OLIVER and wife Are RECONCTLED
Woman Who Caused His Conviction
on Bigamy Charge Will AccOmpa-
ny Him on Lecture Tour.

Reports from Thomasville and
Americas are to the effect that A.
D. Oliver, the former Climax banker
and promoter, recently released from
the Georgia penitentiary, where he
served four years upon conviction for
bigamy, will take to the lecture plat
form. He announced Saturday that
he would be accompanied on his lect-
ure tour by his wife, whom he mar
ried during his pyrotechnic career as
millionaire at Climax. The two APP
pear to have become entirely recon
ciled.
After Oliver was sent to the peni-
Tertiary for alleged bigamy, the only
one of the many charges then pre-
ferred against him that would stick,
Mrs. Oliver returned to her mothers
home under the belief that her hus-
band was convicted of bigamy and
she was free again.
Some time thereafter she married
an Albanian named James, but soon
secured a divorce from him.
Now, after a separation of well
nigh five years, she returns to Oil
yer, to whom she was in reality
legally married at Climax, he having
since proven that he was A. D. Oil
yer, and that it was his twin brother,
Harding, who had married in Missis-
sippi and had since gone to unknown
parts in South America. The Oil
vers will reside in Americas, where
he says he will open bank.

IIITERS BECOME RICH JUSTFRON TIPS

them are leading citizens and are in
the 100000 class. One of them some
months ago was waiter in an old
fashioned restaurant that has since
been wiped out by fire. He was serv-
ing a party at lunch one day and
overheard remarks concerning a GER
tain stock that was to be pounded.
He finished serving the party, plead
ed illness and was excused. Then he
hurried over to his brokers and went
short on that stock to the extent of
$4,000 on q five-point margin.
He had heard a certain figure men
toned and knew just where to close
the deal. He stayed away from work
and watched his investment the next
three days, selling more and more
stock for every half point of decline.
He got out at the psychological mo-
ment and went back to his job the
following day many thousands of
dollars richer.
There was another waiter who
heard a scrap of conversation be-
tween a judge Of the appellate di-
vision and a broker. That was in the
year of the big slump in B. R. T.
This waiter also got the rest of the
day off and hot-footed it over to his
broker, who, by the way, was a man
whom he served daily. He handed
the broker $4,000 and told him
what he had overheard, intimating
that if the broker played the tip also
he wanted share in the profits. The
amount that this waiter cleaned up
on this deal was enough to keep him
in comfort the rest of his life, but
he is still working.
