'You Are Too Pretty to Go Unprotected" Says
Judge, Filming Man Who Flirted.

Mrs. Jay H. Pickel. the beautiful
young woman whom Judge Broyles
described as too pretty to be safe
from annoyance on the streets of
Atlanta" applied to Chief Beavers
Saturday for permission to carry a
revolver to protect herself from the
horde of "mashers" she says infest
the city.
chief Beavers refused the request.
He said If she thought her life was
in such danger that she felt she
would be warranted in carrying a
weapon, 1t would be necessary for
her TO apply to the Ordinary for an
official permit This Mrs. Pickel says
she will do.
Twice within the past week Mrs
Picke has appeared in the Recorders
Court to prosecute young men whom
she declared had persisted in flirting
with her on the streets,
When Judge Broyles fined j. B.
Robinson, No. 573 Peachtree street,
s25.75 for the last offense Friday, he
advised Mrs Pickel to apply for a
police escort.
You are entirely too pretty to be
safe from annoyance on the streets,
the Recorder told the fair complain
ant.

Charlie Bates, the five negro boys
who testified against him, already had
been committed to the prison farm at

at once after the hearing.
The youngsters told, in their halt
ing language, of gathering with other
boys in Johnson's gloomy room In
the hotel basement and there listen
ing as the man told them how to go
out on the streets and get plumber
without detection.
How successful they were was dem

shopping expeditions.
Lads, Caught. Confess.
The police received report after re-
port of purses and mesh bags being
snatched from the hands and arms of
the women In none of the cases were
the lads caught until a half dozen OF
the police and detectives were placed
on the puzzling epidemic of purse
snatching, and succeeded in rounding
up a gang OF negro boys. They were
quizzed until they broke down and
told the remaRkable tale of their in
struetor in crime.
Johnson was arrested on their in
formation In his den in the hotel

accusations made against him. He
admitted that The boys eengresated

Il TROOPERS
Of FIT III
TRIED
Twenty of Fifth Regiment Who
Missed Drill Arrested and Kept
Guarded All Night.

Orders is orders as old Mulva-
ney might have said himself. And
the Thirty-third Article of War
well there are about a dozen young
men, privates in Company D, Fifta
Regiment of the National Guard,
who Saturday were inclined to class
the said article with the late Ger
eral Sherman's brief and pithy def
milton of war itself.
The dozen or so--twenty in fact
played hockey Friday night from
drill. Moreover, it was inspection
night. Captain W. ]. Stoddard de-
cided to establish a little precedent,
by way of encouraging closer attend
ance in future.
Captain Stoddard sent out and ar
rested the delinquents.
Gathered the M. m In.
Details of two men were sent after
each missing member of the com
pany. They got them in from the
highways and byways, also from the
aters and mayhap pool room or two.
They got some of the delinquents
out of comfortable beds at home. too
and they were the most 10th to come
along,
Then the prisoners were formally
put under guard in the company
room at the Armery. A guard of
thirty was detailed to see that they
stayed put" There were cards for
those that liked cards, and checkers
for those who liked checkets, ana cots
for those who were thinking more of
the morning after
Anyway, all the prisoners were
there Saturday morning, and at II
| O'Clock Major w. j. Preston, at pres
ent the summary court officer of the
regiment, tried the delinquent squad,
reg lar" Court Martial.
1t was a regular summary court
proceeding, a virtual court martial,
| for the militia isn't militia any more;
1t is part OF the National Guard. and
the National Guard regulations are
mighty near as strict as the reg liar
army" rules.
So some Of the deliBquents who had
really good excuses were let go with
out penalty, and others were fined 50,
and others s5-the fines being grad
uated TO make the punishment fit
the crime" In the judgment of Ma
jor Preston.
These are the privates who were
tried:
Julian X Roberts, Olsie Werner,
Fred r. Gable, William E. Abbott,
George Henry Lindsay, Richard II.
Nichols, William r. Weems, William
r. Bell, Roy II. Bryant, Thomas l..
Yeargin and Thomas K. Garrison.
Now, But Effective, Methods.
1T is up to the commander of each
company to get his men out to drill
and inspection" Captain Stoddard
explained later. THE colonel has
nothing to do with that part of it,
except to pass on the methods used.
In this case, the colonel has Just ap-
proved every finding made at the
summary court trial"
Captain Stoddard says this method
Is quite new thing He also fancies
It will prove effective,
Several privates in Company d
agree with him.

Leo. Frank S Case
on First Stages
In Supreme Court
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Nov. 21-Justice La
mar today took under consideration
the application of attorneys of Leo
Frank for writ of error directing
the Georgia courts to send to the SUI
preme court for review the record on
which the factory superintendent was
convicted and sentenced to death for
the murder OF Mary Phagan.
For hour and a half the attorneys
argued that Frank had been denied q
federal right when the jury returned
it's verdict during his absence from
the court room. AS they left the
Justices home, they stated that they
did not expect him to announce his
decision on the application for sew
eral days.
Luis Marshall, of New York, left the
city this afternoon after making his
argument to the justice for Frank, but
Henry Peoples and Harry Alexander
of Atlanta, also of counsel for Frank,
remained in the city, possibly to pre-
sent the application to other justices
should Justice Lamar decline to issue
the writ.
