THINKS THEY

PROGRESS
Names Education, Health, and
Park Boards as Particularly
Needy Feminine Members.

In the light Of an experience OF
more than thirty years OF intimate
connection with the administration of
Atlanta's civic affairs. Captain ]. w.
English believes it proper, and high
ly desirable, that the women of At
lanta be given representation on
many of the boards and committees,
both elected and appointed. which
are charged with the city's business.
Particularly on the Board of Edu-
cation" said Captain English.
Captain English had written q let

schools, sanitation. hospitals and
charities-you could have mentioned
others where l am sure women could
be Of great benefit to our city at
large, and help the committees to
solve some OF the problems with
which they have to deal I even wish
that one of the good women of the
club could be selected as umpire to
settle the financial question that Is
now pending before the Finance Com
mittee, and. l believe, the Mayor and
General Council. / believe such an
appointment would give our city
prompt relief.
Il do, therefore, urgently recon-
mend that the womens clubs will
push that question to a successful
conclusion.
So far as the School Board is con-
cerned," Captain English explained,
I'VE have a case in point right now
Do you imagine that any such diff
iculty over the selection of school
books could arise If the intelligent
women Of Atlanta were well repre-
scented on the board? And / deem it
most fitting that one or more Attain
ia women, reared in Atlanta, and edu-
Gated in the Atlanta schools, should
have a part in the administration of
Atlanta school affairs. 1t is a work
that, like teaching. an intelligent wo-
man is supremely qualified for"
In regard to other boards and COM

Presentments Say Donaldson In
fIuence Was Defended-NO
Probe of Locker Clubs.

The final presentments of the Full
ton County Grand Jury. sembodying a
vigorous attack on the Board of
County Commissioners, particularly
aimed at Clifford l.. Anderson and
Tull c. Waters, for their ignorance of
conditions in the county convict
camps, were delivered TO Judge Ben
Hill, of the criminal division of the
Superior Court, Friday
No recommendations additiopsl to
those made tive weeks aga, which
Fesulteds,in the removal 70 captain
Thomas ]. Donaldson and his brother,
S. H. Donaldson, from the control OF
the county's prison system, were
made.
The presentments dealt only gen.
orally with the locker club agitation,
stating that despite the difference of
opinion as to the technical interpre-
tation of the liquor laws. the Grand
Jury had found no disposition to defy
them on the part of the bona fide
social clubs, but rather a manifest
effort to comply with their provisions.
Liquor Probe Unnecessary.
I'VE have, therefore, not deemed it
necessary or advisable" said the
Grand Jury. TO formally investigate
the workings of these institutions"

the presentments state that the probe

the Grand Jury characterized-as sur

body with the revelations of these
prisoners that it was the consensus of
opinion that further inquiry was i'm
peratively demanded to ascertain the
true facts. The County Commission
ers themselves, and the State Prison
Board were subpoenaed to give tes-
timony.
Commissioners Scored.
The ignorance of the County Com
missioners on all matters pertaining
to the actual conduct of the prison
camps and the treatment of the pris-
oners was astonishing. Two of the
Commissioners, Clifford l.. Anderson
and Tull C. Waters, were either I'M
able or unwilling to disclose any
knowledge of the true conditions; on
the contrary, they defended the sys-
tenn that had been in force for a quar-
ter Of a century under the admins
tration of Thomas ]. and S. II. DON
aldson.
THE three other Commi ssioners, S.
B. thurman, w. T. Winn and Shelby
Smith, acknowledged they had little
information on the subject, but stated
that this was not the result of inat
tention, but of difficulties in their
way, due to the Donaldson influence
over their appointed employees in
charge of the prisoners and camps,
who ignored any authority other than
that Of the Donaldsons themselves.
These Commissioners stated ef-
forts had been made by them to bet

be bad, but that every effort to act

 MEXICO CITY. aMrch l3.-The re- Iations between the German ambass;t {. tor and President Huerta have recent .y become strained and yesterday there was almost an open break be- tween them when the ambassador called at the alace to protest against the order which he had received from army headquarters that the German sa ilors guarding the embassy must be removed from Mexico City.
 When the ambassador called upon the president he asked if the order for the withdrawal of German sailors had been issued in accordance with the wishes of Huerta. That gentleman II i'd that 1t was his desire to have ail If the foreign troops withdrawn from the capital and that he had arranged tc replace them with d picked guard uf Mexican soldiers which would af- ford all of the protection that was necessary for the foreigners in Mex leo City including the German em- bsesy.
